I passed ICND2 with  with a score of 930 the help of Chris Bryant and ICND1 and ICND2 by Wendel Odems Cisco Library. But, one of the most important parts of my studies was using How2pass!!! Thank you very much Guy's at How2pass your Q&A really helps with bring all the concepts together in clear and comprehensive manner. Thanks again how2pass.

I passed my ICND2 yesterday, scored 1000.  Couldn't have done it without how2pass.  45 questions.

Last line in answer to question states that- "In this case the configuration is adding a local port to a VLAN.  Even if the switch was in VTP Server mode, the association of local switch ports to the VLANs would not be propagated to other switches via VTP messages."

A server won't propagate this change in its vlan database to other switches?  I'm sure this is simple, but what am I missing here?

Tested on the ICND 1 today and passed with 900.  Passing score was 804.  I have absolutely no experience and started studying about 3 months ago.  I read the ICND1 book by Wendell Odom and used How2Pass for about a month.  I have a full time job so I could only study an hour or so after work and a couple hours a day on the weekends.

The test interface is identical to how2pass so I was very comfortable right out of the gate.  The questions that are on the test are the same type that are used in these practice exams.  If you can take the practice tests and pass consistently with a 90% or better you should have no problem with the real test.  I highly recommend How2Pass to anyone who is on the fence about it.  Best study guide I could have found.

There was no survey before the test regarding my experience level.

Definitely using How2Pass for the ICND2 next.  Thanks for the help!!

It was a 50 question test.  I took my time, read each question twice, and read all of the answers before selecting the best answer.  I scored 962 and had 30 minutes to spare.

They gave me a 8.5" x 14" board and a dry erase marker.  I wrote down the subnet table in decimal and slash notation.  I did this while the computer was giving me a 17 minutes demonstration on how to take the test.  It's the same format used by How2Pass so I went through that quickly.

There were two questions regarding the "setup" command at the privileged exec prompt.  There are no questions regarding "setup" on the How2Pass practice questions.  I looked up the command later and found out that if you type this command, it takes you to setup mode.  When you're finished in setup mode, click CTRL-C to abort your changes or type exit when you're finished.  It looks like it will merge these changes with your running-config.

There was a simulation on the test just like the one in the How2Pass practice test (QID:S24).  The simulation on How2Pass has an interface that is administratively down.  On the test, both the WAN and LAN interfaces were fully configured and enabled (up/up).  I spent about 15 minutes going over and over the show interfaces output and reading all possible answers.  All other interfaces were not configured and shutdown.  The answers were either to configure an IP address for an interface or performing a no shutdown on the port.  I decided I was wasting too much time on this question and used an educated guess.

Hi
I got this question from one of my friends in my CCNA class but he told me different answers than I had thought.
Please tell me what can be the possible ans to the following intriguing question-

I also feel the question might be wrong.Please correct me if I am wrong.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I cant insert image in the post! There is no image upload button? There are 2 image tags ,but how do i upload image saved in my computer??
:o

Hello,

on the ACL sim why is the ACL applied to the fa0/0 interface outbound and not the fa0/1 inbound. I was of the belief that extended acls were applied as close to the source as possible.

Thank you

Hi everybody

I got my CCNA certification last week after several months' hard study.  The problem facing me now is that I'm not really sure where to go next.  I have absolutely no IT experience -- I only decided to become CCNA-certified because a friend told me that it would get me a decent salary.  I've been unemployed for many years.  What do people think I ought to do?  Should I learn more about Windows, Linux, Unix, etc., or go for CCNP?  Would employers be likely to hire somebody solely on the basis of the applicant's certification?

These are sincere questions, and I appreciate any and all sincere answers.  Thank you.

The answer to this question claims that traffic from the Internet to the data center is load balanced across 3 paths, but I think the correct answer is 4 paths.

It's true that Router A load balances across its 3 links, but the question states that all routers have the variance configured. Therefore, Router B will load balance across two of its links, making a fourth path.

I set this up in GNS3 with the ratios of the metrics for the various links exactly the same as presented in the question. I checked the routing table on A, and sure enough, it had 3 entries for the "data center" (loopback) connected to router H: through B, D, and F. Router B had two routes to the data center: through C and E.

Then I set up Wireshark on Router E on the links to Routers B, D, and F, as well as on Router C on the link facing router B. Finally, I sent 90 icmp packets from Router A to the "data center," and the results were as I predicted:

A->D->E->H: 40 packets
A->F->E->H: 30 packets
A->B->E->H: 12 packets
A->B->C->H: 8 packets

I will grant that the question states that the K-values are set to their default, while I set them to only compute delay on all routers. However, I can't conceive of any way that would contaminate the results.
