Hi All,

My employer in his infinite wisdom has decided that he is going to sell Cisco equipment and has a requirement for 2 staff to become CCNA certified.
He has booked 2 of us on the CCNA boot camp which is spread over 2 weeks INCD1 and ICND2.

I have approx 5 weeks before the ICND 1 course.

My question to you guys is how can i best prepare myself for these 2 courses??( I have very basic networking skills - i come form an IP telephony background)

Thanks in advance for you help

Hi,

Finished the exam today with 7 mins to spare. Time is fairly tight in this exam though I think.

Had the following sims:

Redistribution of ISIS into EIGRP and vice versa (Lab #4)
OSPF summarisation (Lab #3)
EIGRP summarisation (Lab #6)

Had both simlets QID:T1 & QID:T3. Got quite a lot on IPv6 and Multicast.

Also had one question about NAT-PT that I didn't see on How2Pass. There's an exhibit showing an IPv6 host sending traffic using an IPv6 destination address to an IPv4 host behind a NAT-PT router. It asks you to choose from 4 options how the traffic gets to the host. I think I answered that the router selects where to send the traffic. I can't remember the other options unfortunately.

The answer states:

"A rendezvous point must be configured in order for the interface to operate in sparse mode."

Surely though if this is the case, the following answer is also valid and there are 2 potential answers for this question?

"If a rendezvous point is configured, the interface cannot operate in dense mode."

I passed my CCNA today and I could NOT have done it without the help of How2pass!  Best $40 I ever spent! 

Good Luck to everyone on their certification journey! 

Just wondering if the answer should be "Switch4, port fa0/11"?

hello,

after reading and learning with how2pass plus some practical hometests,  i passed yesterday my CCNA test with 916 points !
I think theres a bug in the cisco test software (pearson/vue) ... i had to configure basic router config an during the exam I couldn?t type
any letter, if i want to write "config" the browser showed me "onfig" :-( I couldn?t finish the question and had to go to the next !
Did anybody have same proble?

... i ?ve passed, so maybe i shouldn?t care ...  ;D

Thanks to how2pass

40 questions
802 to pass
got 916!!!

How2pass helped me remember 4 years worth of study and I got half my recertification.
Now 2 start ICND2

somebody ssay congrats to me. i just passed my exam today. i scored 915. it was verry easy. i studed very hard anyway . I used CBT NUGGETS VIDEOS AND exam questions from www.examdeal.com (at least 80% were the same)

I am now CCNA certified . whooowoooowoooaooo!!!!!!!!!!!

(QID:S18) Testlet1 - Identify the path a packet takes in a network.

Question 1 of this Testlet confused me.  The explanation of question 1 states that, "The destination address 192.168.1.255 is the layer 3 broadcast address for the subnet 192.168.1.0/24, but a router discards broadcasts by default, therefore, RT1 will drop this packet because it is not a valid host address.

I understand that 192.168.1.255 is an invalid host address, however it is the Broadcast address for the subnet connected to that router (RT1).  Why would "RT1" drop it, instead of sending it out the LAN interface?

Hey everyone, been reading this forum for a while so I thought I would drop a few notes about my exam experience yesterday for everyone studying so hard.

First off, how2pass is the only reason I passed. thanks so much for a great study site!!

Cisco hit me with a router sim on the first question.  you'll be ok. After that I got 2 more sims in the first 8 questions!!   I kind of freaked out because they took so much time, I looked at the clock and was on question 19 of 44 with less than half my time left....    But after drilling countless hours on this site it made the multiple choice very easy to say the least. Be sure to write down your binary table 128 64 32 26 8 4 2 1 as soon as you can, then 192 224 240 248 252 254 under it, then your slash notations and the subnetting questions are easy.

got a few questions that I had no idea what they were talking about or how to answer!! lol that's to be expected I guess, but they do tell you at the beginning that you will get a few extra random questions that don't count for or against your final score. 

I'll check this forum intermittently in anyone has any specific questions about the exam. But all I can really tell you is know ALL the questions and sims ice-cold and you will be fine!!

p.s. The lady administrating my exam told me that she was glad I passed because I was her last test taker that day and a lot of people leave in tears and temper tantrums!! thought that was funny......
