The test questions supplied by my How2Pass subscription were spot on in relation to the exam, a highly recommended site, certainly cheaper than many others.
Do not underestimate this exam it's solid, I've done many in my life and this was indeed the most difficult.
I found the sample labs to be very beneficial, these really ate a lot of exam time.

Just for info. the Open University are offering the CCNA as a complete 2nd year undergraduate degree course, this is no noddy qualification.

I did have an odd question, were I had to place the correct TYPE of Cisco router and label the interfaces it had in a diagram, example being one of the Routers was a 2500 and you could supply S0 or S0/0, F0 or F0/0 ports etc. it was an odd one, be warned.......

I had the Switch simlet (nearly identical) an EIGRP simlet, and one were you had to drag the IP addresses and devices, then configure the devices.


I got 871 (pass mark was 825 - 48 questions), I did the actual course last year, 2 weeks with Global Knowledge and spent ~35 hours preparing.

I'm going on to study my CCNP with the Open University, the courses start this year.

Good luck.

My jaw dropped when I saw the score result.  I have never been so prepared for a test.  Given the hype, and being warned so much about the difficulty of these test, I was absolutely thrilled and well, disappointed given the experience.

Well on to 640-816.

I have never been so happy with 40 dollars spent.  ( If I didnt know better i'd say the exam questions taken here were similar to the real test) the familiarity, style, and experience right down the simulators.  Really was incredible.

I re-certified my CCNP last friday, I passed the BSCI. Make sure you understand how things work and not just memorize the questions, if you understand how the protocols work you will beable to answer any question Cisco throws your way. good luck to anyone going for the CCNP.

Hello,

I am 100% sure that its the feasable distance which is installed into the routing table and not the advertised distance.  Please follow the link to Lammle's book on the CCNA where he explains this matter.  You have the advertised distance as being installed into the routing table which is incorrect.

I have two routers with T1 dsu/csu interfaces.I have them cabled and am getting a carrier detect green led light on both.My question is how do you configure a T1 dsu/csu interface on these routers to get them to talk ?
Any thoughts ?

I think that "Use two way route distribution when the is one path" is also an acceptable answer.  You will not get routing loops in such cases.  Could someone correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

I looked at the explanation but i see a problem.  It says that a path to 200.200.200.4 exists but I do not see anything in the figure that would suggest that.  What I do see is a directly connected interface in the 20.20.20.0/24 network.  I think that either the question is incorrect to the ip address on interface serial2/0 is a typo.  Can someone please let me know if there is something there showing that there is a route to 200.200.200.4 in the routing table or explain things a little better than the explanation given.

Thanks

I have a couple of problems with this question. 

Lets look at the answers and the problems with each:
*RTA and neighbor 192.168.45.2 are exchanging LSA's
    192.168.4.2 is in 2-WAY state with RTA meaning that they are not going to
*RTA is the BDR
    The DR and BDR both must establish a Full adjacency with all routers on the segment.  If RTA was the BDR, it should have established a Full adjacency with the DROTHER 192.168.45.2.
*RTA is directly connected to the interface 192.168.45.1
    You can see clearly from the diagram that the routers are directly connected on the 10.0.0.0 network.  It is likely that the 192.168.45.0 addresses are loopback addresses that make establish the RID.  That is unless the RID was set explicitly.  BTW Neighbor ID = RID of other Router.
*Neighbor 192.168.45.1 has changed its OSPF priority number
    This is also wrong because the router has a priority of 1 which is the default.

Please see the links below and let me know if I am wrong.

Answer ==>  If RIPv1 is configured on all routers, then RTC will receive updates about RTA LAN. (SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED AS CORRECT ANSWER)


RTA will never send updates about its local LAN since RTA is configured as:

RTA(config-router)#passive-interface e0 (IT WILL NOT SEND LOCAL LAN)
