Akula Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 If any of you are going after the CCNA and want suggestions, PM me. I got a decent score 888. This means, when it expires, I will have had my CCNA non-stop for 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 CCNA Certification Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size route and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. CCNA curriculum includes basic mitigation of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and terminology, and performance-based skills. This new curriculum also includes (but is not limited to) the use of these protocols: IP, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Serial Line Interface Protocol Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2),VLANs, Ethernet, access control lists (ACLs).

Septro Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Keep on truckin! I think I got my CCNA back in 2000 when I was working my way up. The certs pay off, trust me. It was only the CCIE-Security lab which broke my back and I haven't taken a cert since But it will help you get in the door - the rest is up to you.

GRN96WS6 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I need to study for that but not until after my masters courses are over I can't do both....Cisco books are so DRY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 But it will help you get in the door - the rest is up to you. You might want to read some of my other posts, like the one where I am bitching about my job in Silicon Valley, or how I travel all over the world. I have been in the door for a while now. thanks for the congrats everyone, but really the point of my post was that I can help anyone that is having trouble passing this mutha Jones, I was a CCNP back when I taught the Cisco Networking Academy. I changed to CCSI for CCNA (Instructing for Cisco). I saw a question on the CCNA exam, that was on the BCSI exam (the nat simulation).

Akula Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Things to study that might surprise you on the exam. IPV6 - Recognize ip addressing, understand 3 IPV6 to IPV4 tunneling modes. Cabling - Straight Thru, Crossover, Rollover Nat - Be able to configure a router to take a /26 of private space and overload a /29 of public space. STP and VTP - Know the uses and how a root bridge gets elected (STP), know Server, Client and Transparent modes (VTP) 802.1q - Know how to establish a trunk between two switches. Frame-Relay - Know the show commands to get the DLCI from IARP Configuration - Routers- simple things like hostname are still on the test, new things like service password encryption and how to setup trunking via sub interfaces is there as well. Subnetting - you need to be able to subnet in your head (not just simple /24+ cidr but more complex /20s and /23s) Knowing this cold will get you a passing score of 825 or higher.
