Bryan J Smith • Self-study with a simulator or real, physical Cisco equipment. You really want to learn the networking basics, and Cisco's IOS, than just studying for an exam. The CCNA is simple enough that you have this flexibility. Just take your time, learn everything you should know, and play with a simulator. Of all of my past studies, the CCNA was the most fun, because I just learned every little detail of IOS I never knew before (the networking basics were already there).

And it lead me to the CCDP (I ended up not taking the Troubleshooting exam, so I didn't finish the CCNP as well).

Clement Knöll • @Bryan Why not the TSHOOT? With some experience, it's one of the easiest, and surely the most fun, exams Cisco offers.

@Chiranjeev Personally, being an ex-instructor myself, I am no big fan of instructor led training - generally it's a huge waste of time and money if you already have some knowledge about the subject. If not... well, there are some low-cost instructor web training sessions available, the question is only which ones are the good ones.

Try to get hold of a copy of Packet Tracer, and do the exercises which come with it. There are also a few older and current lab companions and guides available, which may help to expand the scope of the exercises covered by the Packet Tracer.

Otherwise, the official certification guides from Cisco Press are very good. Also useful (IMHO) is the Cisco Press CCNA Command Reference and their Quick Reference Sheets, the available Flash Cards (depending on your learning style), and the Boson Exam Simulator. And I always love the ancient Douglas Comer: "Internetworking With Tcp/Ip: Principles, Protocols, and Architectures" - I think they are at the 5th or 6th edition since 1988...

A lot off people recommend Lammle, but I found the "CCNA FastPass" from this author one of the worst - and worst edited - books on the subject, so I stay away from him.

In the end it's always the same - if you already have previous experience/knowledge, the CCNA isn't that difficult, no matter which road you choose to fill the gaps. If not, and you start from scratch, it's probably pretty tough no matter what.

Bryan J Smith • Clement -- I was literally burnt out at that point. I just took my 10th exam (or so) within a couple of weeks, and had to drive almost 100 miles (200 miles round trip) to take most of them. Just finally got to me. I didn't take another exam for 2 years. ;)

Dan Sobel • I would have loved to take a term off, and study with an instructor, however, my employer at the time wasn't going to pay for any of this. Fortunately, it wasn't necessary. My method was Skillsoff Online Training (which was free from work, I would NOT recommend PAYING for it, it's NOT worth what they want), along with Odom and Lammle books, and PacketTracer for hands on.

Odom is very complete and well written, and boring as all get out. Lammle is not as well written HOWEVER, he does get the points across in a VERY effective and entertaining style. I would recommend both (I read both before the test). Looking back, I would probably recommend Lammle's book as a primary.

I went the "2 Test Method", and did NOT use a Simulator prior to the first test. That was a MISTAKE. Fortunately, there is "HELP" on the simulator, so I was able to get though it, however, I highly recommend NOT doing that.

Get a copy of PacketTracer and learn the labs. The CCNA Test questions are based on VERY SIMPLE Network setups, and the test LOOKS a lot like PacketTracer.

Dustin Dortch • Todd Lammle's book published by Sybex is by far the best book out there for the CCNA. From pure study, if you dedicate the time you should easily be able to pass the CCENT. The key for the second exam, or the the single exam option, is to become familiar with the IOS, on top of studying the book. The Cisco Press book by Odom is also a good read for this exam.

Eileen Vandenburgh • Hi Chiranjeevi, Also, along with the course material, it is much easier to practice with a simulated lab online or on your desktop - MIMIC Virtual Lab CCNA. http://www.rentciscolab.com . You get access to Cisco routers and switches to try configurations without worrying about messing something up. Best of luck, Eileen

Pramod Gangoor • Hi Chiranjeevi,

I would recommend buy some CCNA and CCENT related books, this would cover theory and for practice use can either go for - Cisco Packet tracker (need to buy) - GNS 3/Dynamips (this is not a simulation, it emulates the real IOS) ..GNS3 is free but you only need to get Cisco IOS. - Become member in forums like Cisco netpro and etc., that way you could learn more

Scott Morris -CCIEx4 #4713, JNCIE #153, CCDE #2009::D • Keep in mind that Packet Tracer is only licensed to Cisco's NetAcademy folks... So while you may be able to obtain it otherwise, I wouldn't go flaunting that in public forums!

Instructor-led classes have to do with two things. First, the quality of the instructor. If it's someone who can barely read the powerpoint slides, then yes, it's going to suck. Second, the amount of effort you put into it.

I'm a big fan of knowing something before attending any seminar/class. That way you have

some baseline and can ask better questions and gain a lot more value out of the class (within the confines of point number 1). Whether it's CCNA level or CCIE level, the concept is the same!

But play with equipment/simulators as much as possible. You'll learn things that are incorrect in almost every book out there. But being able to see that is an important step!

Finding forums where people help is great as well. I'd recommend the Cisco Learning Network (http://learningnetwork.cisco.com)

Good luck!

you to be versatile to handle their Linux based infrastructure, Vitualization, Storage Area Networks, and VOIP needs. Depending on the type of organizational responsibility you find your self, they will not have the budger to hire multiple IT techs. They are looking for one person to carry all that weight. Infrastructure Networking is no longer about routing, you have to be the Microsoft Server guru and the Linux guru as well. No more room for primadonna in this economy.

John Bailey, PMP • Consider all certifications as an investment. As your time and presumably money are limited, you need a more precise goal than you have stated. I recommend "What Color Is Your Parachute" and "Don't Send A Resume" to help you focus and determine what you should be doing.

You should not be gathering certifications randomly--a Gartner Group consultant once told me, "Making changes without metrics is called tampering."-- nor based on the advice of anyone who gets paid to deliver them--as they are less apt to have your best interests in mind.

If you want a job, what job? Do your research, gather the list of requirements for that role, and master those. Don't show up with 40 certs and no experience, either, as that looks like fraud to some. Don't assume. And make your career your own.

Nimish Naik • Edward. Good move. It is not possible for me to work on two certifications at once so from personal knowledge, I would say one cert at a time. It will increase your chances of passing as well.

Edward Collins James(CCNA) • I am now CCNA Certified Engineer and Now i am Preparing for My CCNA Security. :-)














Bryan J Smith • If you're going to touch Linux systems, Red Hat certifications are often highly regarded because 100% of their certification exams are hands-on, performance-based testing. I.e., As I understand it, despite the investment and program costs, Red Hat decided early on to model their entire program (not just higher levels, but all levels) based on one of the most reputable in the industry, the Cisco CCIE. For all Red Hat examinations, you complete objectives on actual systems in front of you, in a lab environment. Not remote connections, not simulations, actual, real systems.

SIDE NOTE: Understanding Linux boot issues and internals is also very helpful if you get into advanced ESX/ESXi host troubleshooting, as VMware utilizes a Linux helper OS. I've had to deal with a number of them myself over the years.

P.S. I didn't know Cisco had any "Certified Engineer" title. I only know of the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) and the Voice, Wireless, etc... CCNA specializations, as well as the higher Professional and Expert tracks.

If you already manage an infrastructure comprinsing of REDHAT systems and CISCO gear, take it as far as you can. Start with Security+ to get a good feel for the basics and then take it as far as you can.

Jeremy Needle • Ravi,

You need to differentiate between a career as a Security Analyst and/or Manager, vs a Security Engineer. Typically CISSP is what an analyst or manager will pursuit, gaining a birds eye view of security technologies and industry best practices.

For a security engineer, they're more into the design & implementation of specific security technologies. In additon to the security concentrations for Cisco and Red Hat, I would recommend you take a look and the sans.org website and examine the training they have there.

Orlando Study Group - Logs












http://darbyslogs.blogspot.com/2011/03/orlando-study-group-logs.html


Darby Weaver • Hi guys! I've started a study group in Orlando for aspiring CCNAs at the moment and hopefully will take each group to the CCNP and beyond for those willing.

So what does a study group do?

1. Discuss exam objectives.

2. Have courageous conversations over career and job tasks.

3. Network with other members.

4. Lots of hands-on. Sweat and make it work or else kind of hands on.

Example:

The group is at the CCENT level so tonight was a hands-on evening:

1. Password Recovery - Just do it. Real routers and real serial cables. Kinda feels like the scene in Swordfish - 1 minute or less.

2. Get the router up and running: Media Type, IP Addressing, and Subnet Mask.

3. Can you ping?

4. TFTP-Server using the router as a TFTP server.

5. Compare show version commands.

6. Best IOS becomes the server, other routers are the clients. Copy to flash... erase first. Can you feel the tension?

Remember, the team is at the CCENT level and have not passed the exam yet.

All members have access to an Access/Terminal Server, a Frame Switch, at least 2 2950 Switches, and 6 Routers (2600 and 2600XMs).

This is just one night.

Awesome experiences all the way around.

At least 3 are Cisco Academy students/graduates; 2 are former CCNAs, 2 have failed the CCNA exam recently, one is a former CCAI, and one is a current CCNA and is working towards his CCNP. I have 2 that are starting out totally fresh.

All and all it is a good group and things are working out really well.

I'd recommend others gather such a group and see what you can learn from each other.

It's a great opportunity to expand your knowledge and your human network as well.

Pretty kewl.

Darby Weaver

Um... little extras - I invited members to bring any questions with them to the meeting:

1. How to troubleshoot EIGRP Flapping Routes?

sh ip eigrp event

debug ip routing

check eigrp neigbor status, timers, and maybe even mtu for example - don't rule out the little things like bandwith restrictions of eigrp updates, and speed/duplex mismatches - look for the obscenely ridiculous things that people overlook or fat finger.

2. How to troubleshoot/determine the Root Bridge in Spanning-Tree?

show spanning-tree and then look for the root port and follow it till you get to the root of the spanning-tree. Seems simple enough. Sometimes you are at the root and sometimes you are anywhere but the root. So how to change this? Well the next step is to determine what switch should be the root and determine why the current root actually got selected in the first place. Notify your peers and then plan for the change. When approved - spanning-tree vlan xxx root primary or whatever value you think you need to seal the deal. Expect a momentary disruption while the spanning-tree converges and then life is back to normal.

Darby Weaver • I like to think of it as a subtle suggestion.

People want to get certified. Most people study alone or in informal groups.

In Orlando, I started a Network User Group to meet part of my goals.

Then I started a Study Group that splintered from the larger User Group.

People are working and collaborating.

I take on any questions presented by the group real-time and resolve them real time or on the fly if I happen to know the answer for the study group.

I also explain every concept or verify that I do when each concept is covered by the study group.

I find it a very good method for all involved to learn not only technology but how to be more open through collaboration with one's peers.

I highly encourage the study group to network with other members of the study group.

FREE Training and Experience like this is rare and very hard to come by in my opinion.

Darby Weaver • Chris,

1. Ebay is where I buy my gear from. I paid for the routers I gave away to my study group, I paid for the routers/switch in use during the physical session, and I also paid for the remote racks and the electricity/air required to run them in order to make them available for the group.

2. No, no member has been asked to pay anything. They have been asked to being a laptop to the session with serial interface and the blue console cable each was given at the first meeting.

3. I hold the following active Cisco certs and quite a few others:

CCENT/CCNA CCDA CCNP CCDP CCSP CCVP CCNP + Voice CCNP + Wireless

Almost CCIP but I need to re-take the new Route exam since my previous CCNP BCSI was pre-2007 or so. I've taken and passed all the other exams required for the CCIP.

I've passed the CCIE Written for both Security and Routing and Switching.

I'm a Sniffer Certified Master (1 of 66 globally and 1 of 13 certified outside of Sniffer) - this is probably not active any more since NetScout tookover and I've not renewed it yet with them.

MCSE+I MCSE 2000/2003 - MCSA, Active Directory, Exchange 5.5/2000, and Security former MCT

The list goes on... but let's not bog down the Internet on my certs alone... easier to list what I don't have. Almost joking.

It is great to see you helping so many people.

I have all of the equipment to run the CCNP Route (7 1841's, 2 2821's doing my Frame Relay, 3 2900XLs for the switches, I will have to use one of my 3750 for the BGP part and a 2509 for the access router only 8 ports for Consoles.

I am running a 1841 for my PPPoE connection to the internet and I can SSH into it from outsidebut I can't get any further so I can use the 2509 directly except telneting from the 1841.

I want to do something like you are doing but I want to make it more secure so I can do it through the NET.

Can you give me some advice?

Thanks

Darby Weaver • Paul,

You've got a lot of gear there. I'm not sure why you need the 3750 for BGP per se - all things considered.

1. You can SSH to the 1841 for your own usage. - You have that.

2. You can allow people to Telnet directly to the 2509 if you like - what are they going to have access to anyway? Your practice rack? Yep. Not bad really.










You are using your 2821's for Frame Relay? Um... kind of a very expensive Frame Relay if you ask me. Just get the 2522 and you are much better than fine. Sounds like you are using the WIC-2Ts and if so... have you considered AS5350 for example. too late you have what you have. Just seem odd to me.

3. You could create an IPSec VPN Tunnel and allow people into your network via the tunnel and then just route to the 2509 once inside if you are that worried about security - or you can always build a site-to-site VPN tunnel too.

Not so bad really.

4. You could use PAT to allow people to the 2509 as another option.

You got options for sure.

You can get it from by being part of a "Cisco Network Academy Course", Look to a local community college to see if they are sanctioned.

Then get the Todd Lammle book and go for it.

Urge those who haven taken their CCNA to take it asap. Passed narrowly today with a score of 841. About 7-8 new questions i encountered today. Thanks to this dump, it is still the one to rely on. :) For SIM questions do study ACL, VTP and EIGRP. Try to score on EIGRP (just changing EIGRP number to 221 and adding network address in and remb to type #no auto-summary and #copy running-config startup-config) and VLAN

(just enter in show commands and answer mcq). It should boost up your marks significantly. ACL could be a little challenging as the others have reported slightly different stories. Study and understand this dump inside out, not only memorising the position of answers here as the exam answers are jumbled. All the best and thanks guys! :)

Hi All,

Cleared exam with 947.. Around 4q out of this dump. Labs VTP, ACL2 and EIGRP few few changes in IP address. ACL had 4 conditions (1) Host C should have http access to finance server (2) Host C should not have any other access to Finance server. (3) No host from LAN nor Core network should have any access to Finance server. (4) All LAN hosts and Core should have access to Public server(This server is also in same network as Finance server)

Please prepare for this question.

EIGRP had As number as 221 and IP address different, but same logic as 9tut question.

If you have prepared these questions and if u have 1 more day time for exam, i suggest you to download Pass4sure dumps as well which has 616 questions(few new questions apart from acme questions). The download path is given below:-

Read the modifications part under each sim well on 9tut, to understand what kind of modifications to aspect. If you understand the concepts behind the sims, know the show commants to find the problem and the commands to fix the problem: then you will be fine.

Thanks to ExamCollection and 9tut, I cleared CCNA today. There were 53 questions in total which were pretty much the same as in dumps (Except for 3-4 new One's). One new question was based on Standard ACLs, like, what they are based on ? and the correct answer, I believe, was Source IP Address and Wildcard Mask.

There were 3 labs : EIGRP (Exactly same as 9tut, however IP Addresses were different) VTP and ACL2 (both of them completely different from 9tut)

Lastly, 3 Drag and Drops.

@ Manish..

answer must be A and C, ( E is wrong , becourse its says Cisco router will 1st attempt to load a image from TFTP. but cisco routers will boot from TFTP if we enter a specific boot system command to boot from TFTP and reload the router or router cannot locat a valid IOS image in flash memory when a router switch on, its like when boot a computer, if we set bios setup to 1st boot with win xp cd then computer will boot with win xp CD or when a computer start to boot up and if it cant find a win xp boot system file it will try to find a win xp boot setup CD to boot win xp operating system,


Refer to the exhibit. For what two reasons has the router loaded its IOS image from the location that is shown? (Choose two.) Please

A. Router1 has specific boot system command that instruct it to load IOS from TFTP server. B. Router1 is acting as a TFTP server for other routers. C. Router1 cannot locate a valid IOS image in flash memory. D. Router1 defaulted to ROMMON mode and loaded the IOS image from a TFTP server. E. Cisco routers will first attempt to load a image from TFTP for management purposes

it say A,E is correct but in this dump it say A,C plz help some1 wht the best answer.and type the question on google to see the exhibit plzzzzzzzzzz urgent

@Vindy @k1dd0

OSPF routing uses the concept of areas. What are the characteristics of OSPF areas? (Choose Three.) A. Each OSPF area requires a loopback interface to be configured. B. Areas may be assigned any number from 0 to 65535. C. Area 0 is called the backbone area. D. Hierarchical OSPF networks do not require multiple areas. E. Multiple OSPF areas must connect to area 0. F. Single area OSPF networks must be configured in area 1.

ANSWER: C D E.

loobbacks are not compulsory to configure ospf.

areas can be assigned from 0 to around 4million.

for single area we can configure any area, it is not compulsory that it should be area 1, we can give any no

like area 2/3/4/5 but its standard parctise that we follow area 0 for clear understanding to everyone who works the topology.
