Ladies and gentlemen, I am stuck here. I bought a Cisco 851 W switch, and I would like to start using it but I do not have what it takes to connect this switch to my laptop. Could you please let me know what connector I need to buy for this to work? I read somewhere where they said I had to buy a serial to USB adapter but I have bought 3 already and they do not connect with my laptop. Please let me know how I go about this. I am just trying to run away from having to use a pc for my practice. HEEEEEELP, PLEEEEEASE!!

Yesterday I passed my ICND2 (640-816) for CCNA re-certification.

I had the SIM's with the EIGRP configuration (S10) and VLAN & STP (S14).
In the S14 there was one question about the Model of the VLAN-Router which you could find out
using the "cdp neighbour" command.


Thank you How2pass !!! 

the "correct answer" seems to be incorrect.  I cannot find any supporting information for the claim "this default route will be excluded because this route is pointing to RT2 itself."  Can anyone explain how this occurs?

the answer say 2 problems occur : ripv1 doesn t support authentication and the md5 command is missing on one of the router but what about the two router using different version of rip ? ripv2 only supposed to send and receive v2 updates rip default supposed to receive both updates but send only v 1. so why is it marked as a wrong answer?
please help me!!!!!

Hi folks!
I just need a little help with these exams. I took Cisco Academy classes and passed the CCNA Exploration Exams Part One (Network Fundamentals) and Part Two (Routing Protocols and Concepts). The CCNA Exploration has 4 parts but I couldn't finish them all. So I was wondering, if ICND2 is equivalent to Part 3 (LAN Switching and Wireless) and Part 4(Accessing the WAN) of the CCNA Exploration. Or do I have to go for the whole CCNA 640-802 Exam?

Passed ... Scored 936...... My advice to anyone, practive the questions here on how2pass and make sure you understand every question and the reason for the correct answer. If you do, you'll be ok. If not, read more on the topic till you do.
I messed up with the PBR sim, I applied the route-map on the wrong interface, but overall, I finished with 35 minutes left... Now on to TSHOOT...

I saw on the purchase page a discount code box. Does this mean you have discounts? Do you give out a discount for military? If there are discounts you offer were can i find them?
Thank you for helping.

I'm getting mixed reports some books say its not legal (you cant use it ) and other places like a question on the site lets you use a /25 mask in vlsm. is it legal or not ?

do the sims in the real test let you [tab] auto complete? because the sims in this don't, I'm having some what of a hard time with them because I'm so use to "tabing" in packet tracer and in the cisco classes. also do you have to click done on them? 

Are frame relay and MPLS the same thing why would i pick one over the other? as far as i under stand it frame relay is like a Virtual circuit isn't that what mpls is with it's frame tagging?
