How about "explain the ipv6 stateless autoconfiguration process"? or even DHCP, ARP Process?
Many Thanks

Just playing along here.... But if I saw that someone got their CCNA back
in 1999, I would still ask them a BGP question. Whether it was on their
exam or not, the next questions would revolve around the "what have you been
doing to increase your knowledge in the last nine years?!?!"

I do not recall any BGP in the 1999 version of the CCNA exam.
Nope note there - see below.
Are you sure you are being fair to a CCNA job candidate by asking something
a CCNA student is not even taught, and especially not taught in 1999?
It does reflect one's pedigree.
Here is 640-407 - the exam of the day
The course covers the topics you need to review for the CCNA exam including:
* Understanding the Internetworking Model, the OSI Model, features of
Cisco routers, switches and hubs
* Comprehending TCP/IP Protocol Suite Overview including ARP, RARP,
and ICMP Messages
* Describe the major features, functions, and benefits of Cisco
routers, switches, and hubs
* Getting started with Cisco IOS software including router basics,
user and privileged mode, Cisco discover mode, IOS naming conventions, and
loading IOS from ROM
* Recognize the configuration commands necessary to configure Cisco
IOS features
* Perform the steps required to log in to the router, use help, and

routing environment
* Describe the steps required to configure Novell RIP in an IPX
routing environment

Cisco router
* Describe the commands used to verify and troubleshoot feature
operation
* Describe the steps required to initially configure a Cisco switch
and hub product
* Describe the steps required to configure ISDN BRI
* Describe the steps required to configure a VLAN segment
Here is the 640-607
The course covers the topics you need to review for the CCNA exam including:

For me, that's not a tough question at all - No. But then again I'm
