Cisco 3750 Switch Ios Download For Gns3vault Rating: 9,6/10 1829 reviews
PermalinkGNS3Vault is offering you Cisco labs and scenarios that you can download and use with the GNS3 / Dynamips software. My goal is to have a full range of labs to study for CCNA, CCNP and even CCIE.
- Jan 15, 2013 Hi frnds, I have two 3750 spare switches in my company.I think gns3 cant emulate L3 devices. So i wanna connect my real 3750 switches using GNS3.is it po 50634.
- Hi, I am going through CCNA study and I am working with c3550 switches. The IOS on the device is older c3550-i9q312-mz.121-19.eA1c, and I have identified th 112797.

Here's how:',79,10,33,http://www.reddit.com/r/ccna/comments/13323l/today_i_scored_937_and_944_on_backtoback_icnd1/,'Today I scored 937 and 944 on back-to-back ICND1 and ICND2 tests, first attempt. Here's how: |
| Since my local testing center recently had some sort of falling out with Pearson VUE, I had to catch a 2-hour flight (cost: $200!) to get certified. This encouraged me to prepare extra-thoroughly, in order to one-shot my CCNA and avoid the cost of multiple round-trips to another city. |
| Here's an important disclaimer: I built my study plan around my own particular circumstances, and so your mileage will inevitably vary. For context, here's a bit on my educational background: I've had to put my undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science on hold during my fourth year, thanks to recession-induced financial collapse. I earned my A+ and Network+ certs back in 2003, and since then have accumulated what's perhaps the equivalent of 3 full-time years of semi-relevant work experience. I knew enough, for example, about ping, tracert and ipconfig, but hardly anything about subnets, switching or routing. |
| There are two more important details. By the time I began to prepare for my CCNA, I'd had the good fortune of landing a marginally-acceptable job. For this reason, while I had (and still have) a profound yearning for a better life, I wasn't in an un(der)employment-fueled mad rush. Also, I decided to go the two-exam route to 'bank' my intellectual investment, so to speak. That said, here is the plan I settled on: |
| Phase 1: I read Lammle's study guide. Specifically, I did nothing but read the guide, cover to cover. I didn't take notes or do review exercises, or even spend much time lost in thought about unfamiliar topics. This wasn't skimming, per se; instead, I truly read the entire book, and only stopped to re-read parts when basic reading comprehension eluded me (i.e. upon encountering poorly-worded sections or sleep-induced idiocy). The take-home message here is not to stress over parts that seem strange. Instead, just let them stew. |
| Phase 2: I re-read Lammle's study guide. This time, however, I took notes and completed all written labs and review exercises. Unlike my last time through the book, I also read the hands-on labs. However, my sheer infantile impatience and motivatonal inertia prevented me from actually doing them, despite having already installed Cisco Packet Tracer. |
| Here's the gist of my note-taking strategy: I produced a summary of Lammle's book that doesn't contain Lammle's 'bonus commentary'. I was left with fairly cut-and-dry facts and IOS commands that were much easier to use as reference material. |
| Phase 3: I compiled every IOS command mentioned in Lammle's study guide into a handy-dandy reference hierarchy (tree structure). The tree's root was 'USER EXEC MODE', which is what you'd encounter on a freshly-rebooted router or switch. This would branch out into other modes (like 'PRIVELIGED EXEC MODE') and commands (like 'enable'). Instead of adding multi-keyword commands like 'show ip interface brief' as a single entry in the tree, I represented them as a network of branches and leaves, so that, for example, both ['ip' -> 'interface' -> 'brief'] and ['cdp' -> 'neighbors'] would branch off of the 'show' node. The upshot: it's easier to remember interrelated pathways that traverse concisely-named nodes than long and perhaps seemingly-unrelated commands. I used MindJet, my favorite mapping program, but there's no reason why you can't do this with any other mind-mapping program, or indentations in any text editor, or paper and pen. |
| Phase 4: I watched Jeremy Cioara's CBT Nuggets videos for ICND1 and ICND2. While sticklers for grammar, diction and brevity might find it difficult to sit through hour upon hour of this material, it's still a great resource. It's more 'visual' than a textbook, which helps, and it fills many of the lacunae left by Lammle. Highly recommended. |
| Phase 5: I experimented with simulators and emulators. I found Cisco Packet Tracer easier to use than GNS3, even though is omits some IOS functionality. Learning switching with GNS3 was too problematic for me, and this became a key reason for choosing CPT over GNS3. After testing a few different approaches to simulation, I found one that worked best for me. I would start with two hosts attached to one switch and configure a functional LAN. This covered base configurations, followed by IP addressing and VLANS. I then moved up to a router-on-a-stick by adding one router, and then added more routers to practice routing and WAN technologies. While I enjoyed this 'bottom-up' approach more than a 'top-down' sequence (starting from a pair of routers connected point-to-point), do what feels right to you. |
| Phase 6: I attempted all the practice questions I could get my hands on. While nearly all of them were multiple-choice questions, they certainly helped. It is crucial that you attempt each question before you check the answer: Cognitive Science studies (e.g. Siefert et al 1995) show that reaching an impasse greatly facilitates problem solving ability. Reading the answer right away is far less useful. In any case, save the practice question marathon for the very end, after you've gained a strong understanding of more basic principles and theory. It's your exam-prep dessert, and not an appetizer like Phase 1 was. |
| The result: over 93% on both tests, with 40 and 7 minutes to spare respectively. |
| And now for some much-needed shut-eye.. |

| 1)How to divide 128 by 2 then take its result and divide by 2 again. Honestly going into these exams you will know this step forwards and backwards :) |
| 2)Take 255 and start subtracting it in reverse order 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 from it. That gives you all that jazz. ex 255 - 1 = 254..254 - 2 = 252..252 - 4 = 248..and so on |
| 3) Fill in your 1s and 0s. You will remember how it should look. |
| 4)Your 3 mnemonic phrase |
| -All People Seem To Need Data Processing |
| -tcp in A TIN cup (A TIN is what you care about) |
| -Did Sally Pack For Bermuda |
| 5)Powers. |
| Quick Note..All of this is simple but DO NOT RUSH IT.one simple mistake in your powers table like a 1048 instead of 1024 will cause you grief. Also keep it neat as you dont want to be second guessing things on it. |
| **How to use it.** |
| This chart represents a starting point of a class C, imagine Classes B and A to the left of it, they would look the same. |
| Ex1) What is the broadcast for 192.168.144.0 255.255.255.224?? |
| -Scroll down the left hand column until you find 224 move over to the right until the last '1' in the row and lookup. You got 32, 0-32 is the range 31 is the Broadcast. |
| Ex2) What valid host range is the ip address 10.128.3.233/20 a part of?? |
| -For this one you start counting from left to right from 17 (Everything 16 and less is on the imaginary chart to your left). Since a /20 falls on 16 you know the range you just need remember to exclude the first and last (10.128.0.1 and 10.128.15.254). For Class B start counting from 17, Class C start counting from 25. Itll make sense once you do it a few times. |
| Ex3) How many subnets and hosts per subnet can you get from the network 10.0.0.0 255.255.240.0? |
| -Scroll down the left hand column until you find 240 now scroll right until you hit a 0, count all the zeros in this row all the way over to the right and now since this is a Class B imagine in your head this chart extending to the right you would just keep counting (another 8 0s). So 12 0s dont do the math just look at your power chart and find 2^12 = 4096 then subtract -2 (because were looking for hosts) and blammo 4094. The same thing goes for for the subnets counts the 1s going towards the left and then look at your power table. You will get 4094. |

| Introduction |
| >First off, thanks for all the tips, tricks, and practice info submitted by the faithful redditors here. Though I've never posted, I troll /r/ccna a every day, and your thoughts definitely contributed to my passing this exam. Know this, 2 months ago my knowledge of networking was zilch. I knew absolutely nothing. This test can be overcome by people with little to no understanding in networking, it just takes practice. The advantages I had were the fact that I work Help Desk and have two very talented network engineers guiding me through the cert/learning/understanding process. Also, I had access to older Cisco routers they weren't using. |
| Materials and Software I used |
| >I used Lammle's book exclusively for theory. For lab setup I bought the 841 without wireless just to familiarize myself with the CLI, then I used an image from a router at work to set up all the routing/acl/nat examples using GNS3 (you can google for an IOS image if you don't own one, though I'm not sure as to the legality there). I didn't download packet tracer until the end, and it showed in my knowledge of switching. I had to review STP, VTP, and port security an awful lot the last week before my test. The genetics lottery did bless me with a decent memory though, and I find that memory is a core component of the CCNA. Networking is a contrived concept, it is a series of standards, protocols, specifications, and software/hardware developed by human beings. It is important to recognize that a lot of things in networking were simply decided that way. My math professor used to call this the White House rule. The White House is white because it's white. Or something like that.. |
| Cisco commands |
| >I recommend keeping a google doc or a notebook filled with the most vital cisco commands you come across, and commit them to memory. Know the output of show cdp neighbor and show cdp neighbor detail like the back of your hand, for the love of God. These commands allowed me to do very well on my sims. Some other common ones are: |
| ip address //used frequently, assigns ip addresses to interfaces |
| show ip route // good to verify your routing setup |
| show run //just use this all the time, any time you're stuck |
| copy run start //save your changes to nvram when you're done! |
| Know everything? |
| > |
| Everybody says, 'Know everything'. I didn't want to believe that was true going into the exam, but it really is. They ask you the most random assortment of questions (I mean, Frame Relay? WTF) It's ridiculous how broad this exam really is. I'm glad they're changing it, because the 640-802 covers so much. And my survey responses reflected that ;) |
| Is subnetting really that important? |
| >As far as the most important topic to know? The obvious answer is subnetting. But most people stop right there, and may not tell you why. Lammle likes to say two things about subnetting. 1) Every question is a subnetting question, and 2) Know subnetting: know CCNA, no subnetting: no CCNA. The reason he says these things is because so many topics and, consequently, questions on the 640-802 stem from your understanding of proper IP addressing, and subnetting is at the core of IP addressing. |
| Tips and tricks for subnetting? |
| >Know them in your head, really. Don't do that binary thing unless you're absolutely stuck. Know that /28 means a mask of 255.255.255.240, has a block size of 16, and has a corresponding wildcard of 0.0.0.15. Know the difference between a wildcard and a mask. Know that the amount of usable IP addressing is block size - 2. Here's my little tip for Class B subnetting: I don't know how to explain this well, but, here goes. Ok. So say you're given the subnetwork 172.16.0.0 /20, and you want to find the last usable address in this subnet. I found the best way to do this in my head was to add 8 to the prefix-length, giving us 28. So the block size for the third octect will be the block size that would be in the fourth octet with a /28 prefix on a class C address. So the last usable IP address in the subnetwork 172.16.0.0 /20 is 172.16.15.254 (remember that the last IP address is the broadcast address. See what I did there? I added 16 to the third octect and subtracted 2 from the last octet to account for the network address of the next subnetwork and the broadcast address of this subnetwork. If that makes no sense whatsoever, and I'm sure it may not, PM and I can further explain it. I find that the best prefixes to commit to memory are /28 and /24. Know /28's block size is 16. That way, if you're asked about a /29 prefix. You just divide 16 by 2 and you have 8. Or if you're given a /27 you just multiply by 2 and you have 32. Then use your respective block sizes to find the mask. There's no reason to memorize masks, just subtract the block size of any given subnet from 256 and you'll get your mask. For instance, /28 is a block size of 16, 256 - 16 = 240, therefore the mask is 255.255.255.240. Know that wildcards are just 1 less than the block size associated with the subnet. Know that the last ip address in a subnetwork is the broadcast address. Cisco loves to test your knowledge of this by frequently applying broadcast addresses to interfaces and then ask you why it's not working. Cisco also loves to trick you up with the first IP address in a subnetwork. The first IP address is reserved for the subnetwork address, therefore it is not valid for host addressing. Why commit /24 to memory? Just so you know that is where the class c and class b subnetting is differentiated. 255.255.255.0, block size 256. Subnetting is easy, just practice it a lot, and it will come. I didn't know a thing about subnetting two weeks ago, and I didn't miss a single ip addressing question on the exam. |
| Non technical related tips and tricks |
| >If you're self studying, schedule your exam. This was the best piece of advice given to me, if I had not scheduled my exam, I would not be a CCNA right now. Also, bring two forms of ID to the test. I almost forgot to do this, I was lucky they accepted a credit card as the second form of ID. |
| Other thoughts |
| >Besides knowing subnetting, you should know your weaknesses. I had two big weaknesses going into the test. 1) I didn't know switching as well as I should, and 2) I didn't know ACL's as well as I should. I recognized my weakness in these topics last week and spent a good portion of my review time studying them just to make sure I'd be ready. And it paid off, I had to apply my knowledge of ACL in a sim. You never know what Cisco will throw at you. Know your subnetting, know your weakness, study hard, study early, study often, and you'll pass the CCNA. |

| 1. Started watching a video series. CBT NUggets - Jeremy Ciara |
| I like CBT because the videos are all under an hour and Jeremy is a good teacher. I was not happy with TrainSignal, Chris Bryant. It is hard to explain but Jeremy makes you wish you were having as much fun as he is when he explains everything, Chris made me feel like he was as bored teaching as I was watching. Whatever series you choose, there are others,I recommend watching a sample before you buy. |
| 2. Get some practice tests. I used testkingworld and it was exactly like what I saw during the real test. By taking practice tests you are ready for the types of questions asked on the exam. For example: you may be able to subnet but can you look at a network diagram with 8 devices and quickly tell which one is not on the same subnet as everything else? |
| 3. Home lab. Home labs are nice but not essential to passing, IMHO. That being said, it was nice to work on real equipment and to really set up a WAN connection. If you are going to get a lab I recommend buying one switch (2950's are like $50 on ebay) first, configure it, make VLAN's, have fun. If you feel that you need more, then buy everything else. |

| Guess I can put that CCNA on my resume now. |
| Passed the test with 944/1000. Honestly didn't feel as good on this one as the ICND1 going into it or during the test. Spent a lot of time double guessing myself. 43 questions, most of mine seemed focused on VTP, VLANs, Trunking, and ACLs. Very little OSPF, EIGRP, and routing in general. Which is funny, cause I studied the other way around. |
| I got really lucky and reviewed some VTP configuration notes last night that saved me today. |
| I used Wendell Odom's ICND2 book, GSN3, and a coworker lent me Todd Lammle's CCNA book. Borrowed a Cisco switch at work from a senior engineer to practice switch configuration, that was an insane help. |
| I ordered the Cisco Press books for CCNP, I actually have training at work this week for Carrier Ethernet Associate. So once I complete that I'll get back into Cisco stuff. Maybe take a week off, not positive yet. |

I am actually a junior network engineer by trade, but we're an Enterasys shop, so some of the syntax I wasn't really familiar with. |
| To prepare, I just read Wendell Odom's (Cisco Press) ICND1 book and took notes over the course of about 2 weeks. |
| Advice: |
| - Know your CLI syntax, especially related to security. You should be very comfortable with how to set up remote access (telnet/ssh) and secure your config. This is an area where Enterasys equipment differs *substantially* from Cisco. |
| - Know CDP. This is good advice for any network exam or situation. |
| - This is a given, but KNOW HOW TO SUBNET. Every testing resource ever will tell you this, but Wendell Odom does NOT do a good job of connecting the dots on subnetting. Odom will tell you how to do it, but doesn't provide a good context for it. |
| - Know your L2, L3, and L4 protocols and what they are used for. |
| - This is more of a general 'test taking' tip, but applies especially to the ICND1 multiple-choice and 'choose x of the following' questions: instead of looking for the correct answer right away, eliminate the answers that you *know* cannot possibly be true. |
| - Eat breakfast! |
| edit: One more piece of advice - go to a somewhat well-known or controlled testing facility (like a community college) if you can. I arrived at the testing..facility (Network Technology Academy in Somerville, MA) about 20 minutes beforehand for a 9:00 AM test as recommended by Pearson Vue, and the guy who ran the business was 20 minutes late getting to his shop, so I had to start the test at 930 and stressed out the entire time about my meter running out. He then took me to a computer lab and closed the door with no formal procedural introduction, so in theory, it was an environment where someone could've easily put a 'cheat sheet' or test materials in their pocket or wallet and just carried it in. The entire experience was *incredibly* unprofessional, and that's just one more thing you don't need right before you take the ICND1. |

| I've gotten a lot of useful information out of this subreddit so I wanted to give something back by sharing some awesome Packet Tracer labs I came across today on the Cisco Learning Network forum. It had a bunch of separate links for labs, so I download them all and made them into a .rar and uploaded them. |
| These labs don't walk you through it like the ones do on the discs in the back of the CCNA Exploration books. There are instructions on what you need to do, but you are left to your own devices to figure out *how* to do it. I like this because it really tests whether you know what you're doing, and forces you to research the answer rather than explaining everything for you. There *is* a folder with the solutions in them, but I recommend against using that. I don't think that's going to help in really learning the subject. |
| [Here](http://www.mediafire.com/?fbzj28d36d20dn1) is the link to the labs to download; feel free to check it for viruses. If you're curious, I found them [here](https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/4933). |
| I think anyone pursuing the CCNA would benefit from these.

My battery on my car was dead because I left a light on last night and I had no one to give me a jump, and it was now an hour before the exam was set to begin. I was determined to take the exam today so I called a taxi. The taxi driver said he'd be at my house in 5-10 minutes, and he doesn't show up until 25 minutes later. I got to my local community college where the exam was taken and went to the wrong building. Eventually, I made it to the right place at exactly 12:00, when the exam was supposed to start. Of all the days that my battery could have died, today was the worst. Nonetheless, I was excited to take the test. |
| The test was pretty much what I expected. With all the hype, it was actually easier than I had expected. I scored an 899 with over 30 minutes left at the end of the test. I was worried about time throughout the exam so kept moving fast, and ended up having a bunch of time left over. |
| I went through the Cisco Networking Academy and finished over a year ago. I was working 52 hours a week at the time while taking 5 classes and I didn't get as much from the courses as I should have. A couple months ago I decided to start studying for the exam, having forgotten a lot of things from the courses. I used CBT Nuggets, which is amazing. Back at my community college, the teacher was boring and I became almost uninterested in computer networking. CBT Nuggets rejuvenated my interest in it; Jeremy is an awesome guy. I also used the books I had left over from the courses (4 of them) and most recently I got the Todd Lamle 640-802 book. I used packet tracer a lot. I got a couple routers and a switch from Ebay but admittedly I've only messed around on the 2950 switch so far. |
| As others have said time and time again, know subnetting very well. I had a lot of questions that required you to know subnetting. I wrote a subnet chart out on my whiteboard as soon as I started the test, but I've gotten to the point where I can subnet fast enough in my head that it wasn't necessary. Either way, it's definitely a good idea to have it there; it only takes a few minutes to write it out at the beginning of the exam. I didn't write it during the tutorial because I was too afraid that I'd get in trouble for it since the actual exam hadn't started (I found that people have had mixed experiences with this depending on the location). |
| Good luck to anyone who plans to take the exam. Tomorrow I'll begin studying for the ICND2, which will probably require a lot more studying. |

| 1) Booked my test. This for me was the most important step. Like I said above, I’ve been thinking about getting my CCNA since Feb, but I didn’t get serious until around mid-May when I booked my exam. If you’re thinking about getting your CCENT/CCNA, do it. Book it today. |
| 2) Watched Jeremy’s CBT Nuggets videos. |
| 3) Read Odom’s CCENT/CCNA ICND 1 Prep Book, did subnetting problems from Subnettingquestions.com, and labs from subnet192.com. The labs from subnet192.com are well-worth the 12 bucks and I plan on getting the lab book for ICND2. |
| 4) Did the practice tests that came with Odom’s book. These tests are quite the humbling experience. Seriously, these practice tests were quite a bit harder than the actual exam for me. |
| 5) Hit Wikipedia/Google and looked up any concepts I was still fuzzy on. |
| 6) Re-watched key CBT videos (WAN Connectivity, Subnetting, etc). |
| 7) Ate a well-balanced breakfast. |
| On a side note, I'm an American expat living in Japan and if anyone else is in the Kansai region, I highly recommend the WAVE Osaka-Eki Mae testing center for IT testing. Really easy to get to from Umeda Station, English-speaking staff, and really well-run. |

I used Packet Tracer extensively and downloaded and completed the practice labs on packettracernetwork.com. |
| Surprises: |
| 3 subnetting questions total. I wished there were more since I praticed so much. |
| TCP/IP model questions instead of OSI. I really know the OSI but only brushed over the TCP/IP layers. |
| Lost points: |
| A router simlet with disabled commands. Seemed like every command I tried was disabled. Had to take a guess on this one. |

| My CCENT expires on May 12, so I knew several months ahead of time that I needed to pass the ICND2 test before then in order to save a lot of time & money studying for both tests (or the one test option.) |
| Here's my study path: |
| * Last week of January, sat in a 40-hour classroom course sponsored by my employer for ICND1. |
| * Last week of February, sat in a 40 hour classroom course sponsored by my employer for ICND2. |
| * Watched CBTNuggets over the course of the next month and a half. (Yea, slacking off.) |
| * Ordered [Odem's guide](http://www.amazon.com/dp/1587204355/) from Amazon, took the practice test included with the book to identify my weak areas. |
| I do a lot of switching stuff at work, but absolutely no routing. The practice test will break out what % of which subjects you got right. This helped tremendously by allowing me to work only on my weak spots. |
| Studied the book and re-took the practice tests for 3 weeks, major cramming over the past week. |
| Leading up to the test, I was not 100% confident in my ability to pass, but I wanted to give it a shot. If I failed today, I would have one more chance to take it before my CCENT expired on the 12th. (Because you can re-take a test on the 6th day after failing it.) |
| Luckily, that wasn't needed, and I passed with a 888/1000 (passing score is 825) I had about 12 minutes to spare when I finished. |
| Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll answer anything that I'm able to (and without breaching contract - no specifics about questions.) |
| My biggest piece of advice - as you may already know - is to KNOW SUBNETTING!

I graduated college in 2010 and have since been kicking around the Odom books promising myself I would get certified. After realizing how much interest I took in networking (and reading lots of the posts in /r/networking) I finally hunkered down and took the test. |
| Studying: First thing I did was read Odom's book cover to cover. I admit his materials are VERY dry and read much like a manual. The first couple times reading through his book I lost interest mid chapter and often had to reread whole sections before it started to sink in. I eventually bought a sub to the CBT nuggets videos and reach each chapter in correspondence with the CBT nuggets videos to reinforce the info. By the time I was ready for the test I could open any chapter and be able to answer the 'Do you already know this' questions and skim the chapter and know exactly what each section referred to. |
| Test: I had a somewhat unique experience with the test I hope no one has to go through, but my testing computer froze on the last question upon submitting it. I grabbed the proctor immediately and we filled out an incident report. After some nerve wracking 20 minutes she said all my answers were saved and that I would be allowed to continue with the time I had left when the test froze. As soon as we got the test back up I submitted my test without reviewing any of my answers (dumb). |
| Also, I don't know if due to my technical issues I didn't see the opportunity but I was never able to go back and review my answers. On other certification exams I have taken I could, from any question, hit back and return to previous questions to review. If I had a chance to review I might have been able to score higher, but again due to my technical difficulties I might have just simply missed the chance at the end of the test. |
| The part that killed my score were the SIM questions, I ended up studying with practice exams so thoroughly the SIM questions threw me off every time they came up. Study your show commands and if you have the time look into how the SIM questions work on the test so you aren't as thrown off as me. |
| ICND2 Studying: My plan is to give my brain a week of rest and schedule the ICND2 a month from now. For me it's a lot harder to procrastinate studying when I know I have the test date looming. Odom book/CBT nuggets will be how I study for the second test. |
| I hope my experience gives you all insight and wish you all the best of luck!!! |

Finally making the push to dedicate time to synthesize all the info and make the final push (thanks, Sandy!!!) |
| I put together the following as part of my learning process. If others find it helpful I will post more as I go. Additions/corrections/criticisms welcome. |
| EIGRP |
| -AD = 90 (External EIGRP AD = 170) |
| -Hybrid (Cisco defines as distance vector) |
| -Proprietary |
| -Composite Metric determines best routes - Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load |
| -AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS (AS) organization |
| -Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) - Allows for backup route determination, support of VLSMs, Dynamic Route Recoveries, Queries for alternate route if no Feasible Successor can be found |
| -Reliable Transport Protocal (RTP) - Proprietary, uses multicast class D address 24.0.0.10, then follows with 16 unicast attempts before declaring neighbor dead (reliable multicast) |
| -Supports multiple network layer protocols via Protocol Dependent Modules (PDMs) |
| -Neighbor/adjacency based on: |
| -Hellos received |
| -AS Number Match |
| -Identical K Value Metrics |
| -Only advertises complete information when new neighbor is discovered and adjacency is formed via hello packet exchange |
| -After adjacency is formed only changes to routing table are propagated |
| -Topology Table - Stored in RAM, populated by PDMs, acted upon by DUAL, contains all destinations advertised by neighbors, holds each destination address, neighbors which advertised the destination and its metric. |
| -Routes should show as P (Passive), which means everything is functioning normally and the path is known. A (Active) means searching for replacement route |
| -Each entry indicates FD, AD and next-hop neighbor, and also includes the best Feasible Successor (backup) route |
| Successor - Best route, stored in routing table |
| Feasible Successor - Backup route, up to 16, best is viewable in topology table (in order to be a FS, AD must eq less than FD of successor) |
| -Stores neighbor updates, contains all known routes from all known neighbors |
| -Selects best routes and places in routing table |
| -Feasible Distance (FD) - best metric, includes distance to reporting neighbor, lowest FD=Routing Table |
| -Reported/Advertised Distance(AD) - Reported distance by neighbor, routing table metric of said neighbor, displayed next to FD in topology table |
| -Raw material from which routes are selected |
| -Neighbor Table - stored in RAM, contains adjacency info including address and interface, 1 table per PDM, uses sequence #'s to match ack's with update packets |
| -H field indicates order of neighbor discovery |
| -Hold is how long the router will wait for a hello packet for that specific neighbor -Uptime is how long adjacency has been up |
| -SRRT=Smooth Round-Trip timer - time for round trip to and from that neighbor (expected receipt of multicast reply, if not received, will go to unicast) |
| -RTO=Retransmission Time Out - time to wait before retransmitting a packet from the retransmission queue to a neighbor |
| -Q field is messages in queue, large value mean no good |
| -Seq field indicated sequence number of last update from that neighbor, used to maintain synchronization |
| OTHER CHARACTERISTICS/FEATURES: |
| -Supports large network by using multiple AS's, External EIGRP (170 AD) represents any route originated outside the AS, whether another EIGRP AS or an OSPF route, all appear the same when redistributed by EIGRP |
| -Supports VLSM, thus allows for summarization and discontiguous networking (not by default, like OSPF) |
| -Equal Cost Load Balancing on up to 4 links by default, 16 if the maximum-paths command is used |
| -variance command allows unequal cost load-balancing (1=equal cost, 2= 2 lt or eq to 2x successor route) |
| -Default hop count of 100, up to 255 if the metric maximum-hops command is used |
| -Routes in routing table market with D designation for DUAL |
| MAJOR CONFIGURATION COMMANDS: |
| Router{config}#router eigrp [AS#1-65535] |
| Router{config-router}#network [network #] |
| Router{config-router}#passive-interface [interface] - sets and interface to passive, means EIGRP will not work, (no hellos, no adjacencies) |
| Router{config-router}#no auto-summary - turns of auto-summarization, allows support for discontiguous networks |
| Router{config-router}#maximum-paths [1-16] - allows load balancing across up to 16 links, default 4 |
| Router{config-router}#metric maximum-hops [1-255] - allows hop count increase or decrease, default 100 |
| TROUBLESHOOTING COMMANDS: |
| show ip route - Shows whole routing table |
| show ip protocols - Shows routing protocols configuration (AS#s and Metric Weights [K-values], also hop count and variance [load balancing]) |
| show ip route eigrp - Shows EIGRP routes only |
| show ip eigrp neighbors - Shows all EIGRP neighbors (neighbor table) |
| show ip eigrp topology - Shows entries in topology table |
| debug eigrp packet- Shows hello packets sent/received between adjacent routers |
| debug ip eigrp events - Shows EIGRP updates in real time |

| -Dispiste the description of materials covered by the new ICND1 there were no mention of OSPF or routing protocols at all on the test |

| -Basic security stuff - like how to encrypt passwords protect telnet etc. |
| -Some very general NAT questions. |

| Wanted to say thank you for all the help you've given in this. Just got back from the testing site and passed ICND1 with a score of 937. I think the biggest thing this subreddit provides is an expectation of the experiences and moral support. I always built the whole certification process up and it helped tremendously to hear what other folks went through. |
| As for training material I used both the Sybex and Cisco Press ICND1 books. Also watched the CBT Nuggets, ComStar videos, and used GSN3 for the simulations. |
| A colleague lent me his copy of the Sybex CCNA book but I've also ordered the Cisco Press books. While I find Odom's book dry and way too in depth verse Lammle, it still a good book and I like having two different sources of information. But if I had to choose one, I'd go with Lammle. Just easier to read and teaches more to the test. |

| it seems that there are 2 strategies those of us who are studying now could use to deal with this. |
| But neither strategy sounds ideal to me: |
| ________ |
| 1) RUSH TO DO EXAMS? |
| In the first strategy we could just rush and try to do the current 2 CCNA exams now, since that's what we're studying for now (and spending all our free time, energy and money getting ready for). |
| But the problem I see with that approach, is that I would be short changing myself with important networking knowledge. |
| Obviously if Cisco is going to change the exam, they must feel this new knowledge is important! |
| So if I rush to do the current exams, then I'll be missing out on that new knowledge. |
| Also 'rushing' through the knowledge and studying process now, just so that I can take the current exams, might mean that I come away with a less deep overall understanding of the material. |
| ________ |
| 2) DELAY AND WAIT FOR NEW MATERIAL? |
| So instead of killing ourselves, and rushing rapidly through the current study material, we could just wait for the new material to come out. |
| But 'delaying' and 'waiting' and waffling too much is usually never a good approach to accomplishing important life goals! |
| So while I do want to take my time to properly absorb and learn the material (and also learn the new exam material) I also don't want to go to the other extreme of delaying things too far into the future. |
| ________ |
| 3) ANOTHER PROBLEM: |
| Finally.. another problem with 'waiting' and 'delaying' is that we don't know how long it will take for authors, writers, and course-curriculum planners, to come up with new material that covers the new exam in a very good way. |
| So for example if I say, 'Ok, I'll wait for the new material,' and Cisco announces their changes in the summer, but it takes authors and curriculum planners until the fall/end of the year to adequately cover the changes, then I've put off my dreams/future for yet another year! |
| ________ |
| CONCLUSION: |
| It's never an easy thing to get caught in the middle of a transition like this. |
| It kinda sucks, and it's frustrating! |
| But at some point Cisco has to update the exam, in order for the Cisco certifications to remain valuable. (But it just sucks getting caught in that transition.) |
| I think the only strategy I can really use is just to keep pushing forward, by learning the knowledge in all the CCNA books I bought now, absorb that knowledge in a deep and meaningful way (so I can become a great networking professional) and then take it one day at a time. |

| Fuck, man. Just an endless barrage of acronyms, numbers, and utterly uncreative names.

| Here is my current understanding for a network with two connected RIPv2 routers. |
| If a route off RouterA fails: |
| 1. RouterA removes the route from its routing table |
| 2. RouterA sends a triggered update to RouterB for the failed route with a metric of 16 |
| 3. RouterB updates its routing table for the failed route |
| 4. RouterB suspends it's split horizon rules and sends a triggered update back to RouterA |
| 5. RouterA updates its routing table for the failed route |
| 6. The route is removed from both routers once there respective timers expire |
| Writing down those steps has given me a thought: |
| Is split hoizon with poison reverse useful to account for the fact that RouterA has removed the failed route from it's routing table thereby exposing it to a routing update from say RouterC which would have a route to the failed route? So the poison reverse is to make sure the RouterA has a metric 16 entry in it's routing table as soon as possible? But then again RouterC would also have received a triggered update so wouldn't have any reason to advertise the route.. |

It took me a month and a half of study. It could have been less, but I was busy at some points(at one point I went 5 days straight without study). |
| This is all for the 640-822 exam, which you still have plenty of time to study for and take, including the ICND2. |
| These are the materials I used: |
| 1. CBTNuggets video series for ICND1 - If you are just starting out and want to firmly grasp the concept of what a network is and how it works, this is a GREAT resource. I feel like these videos should be required for anyone taking the exam. Jeremy explains everything in an easy-to-learn format. I was not bored watching the videos. I will say that the videos did not cover enough of what is in the exam (BY FAR). |
| 2. Wendell Odom's ICND1 book [click here for link to buy on Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/CCENT-ICND1-640-822-Official-Edition/dp/1587204258/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1366219367&sr=8-3&keywords=wendell+odom) - This book covers all the material you need. This is a great book for study and one of the main reasons is, the practice exams on the included DVD! These questions really test your knowledge of the material to make sure you really know what you are doing. If you are making passing grades on these exams, you should be in good shape for the real thing! |
| 3. www.subnettingquestions.com - This was used to practice my subnetting until I got it down with ease. |
| 4. [some packet tracer lab simulations](http://www.packettracernetwork.com/packettracer53labs.html) this is to test your knowledge on CLI commands and configurations. |
| I also want to thank everyone in here for the advice I got, answered questions, and also for everyone's posts. I was in here checking things daily!! |
| I will say to KNOW your subnetting and your show commands(the command and an understanding of what it shows) for the exam! I cannot stress that enough. |

After a few more tests, I find out I'm able to ping the interface on the router that connects to the far end router once every 6 pings. Any idea as to why these requests keep timing out?

Using default routes lead to the same effect, so I just put all routers on the same EIGRP AS with network 0.0.0.0 and things started to work the way I wanted.

| First of all a great thank you for having this subreddit. It immensely helped me with some key issues and doubts. |
| Today feels like a new day to be honest. |
| I was able to finish the exam in under 45 mins. It was 48 questions and about 90 mins total. I scored 920/1000. |
| For those wondering, I did not go thru any dumps etc. but one must-read site is www.9tut.com |
| I cannot urge you more to go through the content on there. I don't remember any question on the exam that in some shape or form was not discussed on 9tut. |
| My study materials mostly consisted of the following ( here I am also mildly reviewing what is good and where) |
| CBT Nuggets, good for subnetting (the tricks) and in general a good run through. You will be hard-pressed to get any detailed information out of these. Good for subnetting and a quick go through. I played them in WMP with playspeed at 2X. LOL! |
| Trainsignal. I feel this is good for everything else other than subnetting. Pay good attention. Detailed and helpful |
| INE. Good, but the instructor does drag some topics from time to time. I came thru this at the very last moment and did not have the patience to go through the whole series. These videos, especially the switching (VLAN, SPT) are very detailed. |
| 9TUT. You could study all you want with those videos, but if you really want to know how and what would be there on your exams, this is the place to be. No questions asked. Hands down the best material, when you have about 1 week left for your exam. They have users regularly updating what was there on the exam. The content is good, but I think you should go through some of the comments on each topic. Might help you, might also clear some of your doubts |
| Books. HAHA - None. |
| Practice. GNS3 and Packet Tracer. GNS3 for everything but Spanning tree. For Spanning tree I had no option but PT. |
| Some hints I can give are |
| . shortcut for commands are quick and most of them worked in the simulations, but there are questions that ask, what command can do this - I got burnt in a few such questions. |
| . learn the cbt subnetting method. very easy. Also I used to spend 1 hr couple of times a week here http://www.subnettingquestions.com/ Very helpful. I can subnet/answer a question in under 15 seconds. |
| . do not forget the routing metrics and how the routing protocols calculate routes. There was an EIGRP question that dealt with metrics. I saw it on 9tut, but was not thorough on the workings, cost me there. |
| Mostly folks, just relax. Its not the end of the world. $295, I know, its not a small amount but I went prepared, that the 300 I am paying was for the experience, pass or fail. |
| I hope this helps some of you. I definitly do not remember all the questions, but again, I urge you to go thru 9tut. I'm now moving on to CCNP. |

The CCNA rack will have TFTP access to a server, where you will be able to upgrade/downgrade one of the routers IOS, and save configs to the server for later use. The Switch rack will also have the same config saving ability. The switch rack, also has the remote ip power reboot function available, and the CCNA rack will soon.

I have had Odom's books for over 2 years with the intention of getting my CCNA and finally today realized that goal. Enough about here here's my inputs; |
| Study: As I did with the ICND1 I used a combination of Odom's book and CBT nuggets. Typically reading the chapter then watching the corresponding video. I did poorly on the SIM's in ICND1 so I got into a habit of having packet tracer open during the videos and going through same configurations are Jeremy. This helped me remember command syntax and really understand what he was trying to do while keeping me interested in the video. Finally, I found that Odom's book will cover topics, in depth, which might not be pertinent for the test. Make sure you review exam topics prior to your final study/cram so you don't waste time memorizing materials you won't be tested on. |
| Test: On the ICND1 I scored a 850, I felt very confident during the test and was surprised by the score at the end. On the ICND2 I went in feeling more confident, but found myself panicking (again) because I got ALL of my SIM's during the first few questions. Take your time with the SIM's there are LOTS of gotcha's but if you are meticulous and feel confident in the CLI no one should have any major trouble (remember the ? is always available and tab DOES complete your commands). |

Here's what worked for me, and what didn't.',19,8,3,http://www.reddit.com/r/ccna/comments/1dn45n/just_passed_640822_ccent_heres_what_worked_for_me/,'I passed the test with 887/100, with a required pass of 804. I failed the test 3 years ago, but recently got my shit together and decided to try again. |
| Here's what I did 3 years ago: |
| - Took a course at a local university designed to prepare for the test. I didn't find it terribly helpful, and I think the router simulations would do just as much to teach the material as classroom time would. If you're really new to this stuff, though, it would probably be a good bet to get you started. |
| - Read the chapters of the Lammle combined CCNA book that I thought pertained to the 822 exam: not easy. There's a lot of detail in that book that's not required for this exam but is useful to know and helps toward the ultimate goal of CCNA. The book itself is very well written, has great examples, and is thoroughly fact-checked. 9/10 would recommend. |
| - Failed with a 690/1000. |
| Here's where I feel the need to explain my mistake. I pretty much gave up. I read the Lammle book half-heartedly again over the next few years, but when it's over such a long time period, you forget the material. It was bad and I felt bad. |
| I use Cisco switches at work (network admin), and that helps with the IOS familiarity, but not the random trivia pertaining to Frame Relay and coaxial token ring museum exhibits. |
| So then 2 weeks ago I was like 'god damn it this is killing me'. I did the following to prepare for the test, all of which accomplished in 1 week while working (studying evenings and weekends): |
| - I got a book out of the library - the CCENT Walker and Walker book. The material was a review, but really helped concisely reinforce the necessary testable topics. I had [problems](http://www.reddit.com/r/ccna/comments/1dcs6l/avoid_the_book_ccent_study_guide_by_walker_and/) with that book so I wouldn't recommend it on its own. As a concise review, however, it was fine. For my situation it was 7/10, for the general CCENT candidate, however, I would rate it as 5/10. |
| - I read that sucker cover to cover. Did all the tests: got about 11-13/15 on them - not great. |
| - I got the [certified4less](http://www.getcertified4less.com/) exam voucher + practice test combo, and did all of the practice exams. That helped because the explanations are fairly good when you get a problem wrong. And really, what else is there to do once you've read the material and practiced the commands? That being said, I had problems with the Transcender material. For one thing, there's a bunch of stuff they don't tell you. You need Windows, for one thing. The core product is a Windows installer into which you load the test pack, all downloaded from the site. There's a web module, but it requires - get this - Internet Explorer. The flash cards are difficult to use, the interface is very poorly designed, and it feels like a Soviet-era product coded by minimum wage drones in a Mumbai slum. I haven't even gotten to the content. Several test questions contain glaring grammatical errors, confusing wording, or are simply incomprehensible. There's one test question, for which there are two almost-identical answers: *interface_type interface_number* and *interface-type interface-number*. Pick the wrong one, and that's a wrong answer. It's not even a matter of command syntax; it's a publishing placeholder! My average over the 4 tests was 74%. Refer to my grade on the real test (887/1000) and you'll see how representative the Transcender practice tests are. Oh, I didn't tell you there are only 4 tests? 4/10 would not recommend. |

Should I concern my self with the details the Net+ textbook offers? |

I have even had it just 'click', only to come back later to forget how I understood it. I have searched many forums and this sub to gain some perspective on how to understand this, and at times I have found the solution that best helps me, but it is usually buried within other posts and hard to find. I figured I would make a post, not only for everyone, but for myself in case I forget this again in the future. I will try to make this as simple as I can, because a lot of times I get confused with explanations from people who understand this completely. |
| Simply put, *Remember The Block Sizes!!* |
| What I mean by this is if you remember the block sizes, you can easily determine what subnet a particular IP address belongs in. |
| Example: |
| Say you have a /21 CIDR netmask. What this means is that the first two octets are all turned on (255.255.) and the third octet is where you will be concentrating on figuring out the subnet. |
| The first two octets will take up 16 bits, leaving you with 5 more bits to turn on to complete the mask (16 + 5 = 21). |
| So you take those 5 bits and use the subnet cheat sheet (you should remember at least this part in your head) to determine the Block Size. |
| Mask Bits: 128 64 32 16 **8** 4 2 1 |
| Our Bits: 1 2 3 4 **5** |
| Now, this means that our subnet will increase in a Block Size of 8. So you can start from 0 and count up in multiples of 8..until you get to the range that your target IP falls into. Be mindful not to go past that range, or you are incorrect. |
| Let's look at an example again: |
| 192.168.127.60 /21 |
| = |
| 255.255.248.0 |
| So, now that you know the Block Size is 8, so we begin counting: |
| 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, **120, 128**... |
| Notice that our target IP of 127 falls into the range of 120-128. |
| The first number (120) is your Network ID, because it is the first number that fits into that range, and the last number (128) is the beginning of the next network. So your Broadcast IP is one less than the next network (127.255). Your last host would be two less than the next sub network (127.254) |
| BAM! That's it! That is the EASIEST way to understand subnetting in your head. There are many other ways to understand this, and no one is incorrect. People learn different ways, and this way worked the best for me. |
| Another tip to consider is memorizing the block size increments, such as: |
| 240 mask: 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, etc. |
| 248 mask: 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120, 128, etc. |
| (Credit to /u/getonthebag ) |
| You should also memorize the most common subnet masks for quick recall. There are only a handful of masks that are used commonly, so memorizing those will help you out greatly: |
| 128, 192, 224, 240, 248, 252, 253, 255 |
| One more thing, when presented with a CIDR notation, you must remember that the CIDR does not equal exactly one netmask, that is because there are multiple octets. See [THIS](https://kb.wisc.edu/ns/page.php?id=3493) link for more information on this. |
| EDIT: TRYING to format this with some spaces for easier reading, but it's not allowing me to no matter what I try..oh well. |

I tried with a remote breakout router, but it causes issues with reverse telnet when getting back to the terminal services menu from the remote device. This was more for security than anything. I may attempt to provide the security via TACACS+ instead. Something I need to learn anyway. |
| Anyway the question here is, once again if people are interested at $5 - $7.50 per day, and also, since it looks like I'll be able to get two up and running(in addition to the CCNP R/S rack @ $10 day), what would peoples request be for configuration? |
| It was my intention to run one as a R&S rack, but the second is up for comment. I'd either make it a dual R&S and Security(ASA5505), or a Wireless(WLC2106), or a Voice rack(CME 8.6,CUCM, Unity). Eventually, it could have all three. Because I'm a geek, when the voice rack goes in, it will have remote access to a camera to view the phone screens (probably two 7960's.) |

| I am currently studying for the ICNDs and have been using the Boson BEE mock exams to practice, however, I am having problems making sense of this ostensibly straightforward question. |

| so far on the ospf practice, i passed everything except for the 'IP Address Design and Configuration' portion of the exam. i know the answer but i need to know HOW to get the answer. |
| i was hoping someone would be able to help me understand or at least point me in the right direction to figure out the answer. i really just want to understand the concept before moving on. |
| here is the information i have and then following that is the information i need to input for the topology: |
| > US-R1: |
| > fa0/0: 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.192 |
| > fa0/1: ____________ |
| > s0/0/0: 192.168.20.246 255.255.255.252 |
| > US-R2: |
| > fa0/0: 192.168.20.65 255.255.255.224 |
| > fa0/1: 192.168.20.113 255.255.255.248 |
| > s0/0/0: 192.168.20.242 255.255.255.252 |
| so i'm asked to do this: |
| > · Configure US-PC2 with the last IP address in the US-R2 subnet. |
| > · Configure the Fa0/1 interface on US-R1 with the last IP address in the subnet. |
| i figure i'd use the last address in the fa0/0 for US-R2 so i think pc2's IP would be '192.168.20.95 255.255.255.224' |
| but i have NO idea what to put for fa0/1 in the US-R1 topology. |

| The company I work for are moving office within the next 3 weeks to a new building that supplies internet & a network already within the building. The idea behind it is you come in and you can plug your computer into the Ethernet point on the wall and you are ready to work away. |
| Our current setup is something like this.. |
| fibre router --> apple airport --> 24 port switch --> 22 devices then connected to this |
| the 22 devices would be: |
| - 8 Cisco VOIP Phones (these plug-in to the network point on the wall, then there is an Ethernet cable that goes from the phone to 8 of the computers) |
| - 2 Network Printers |
| - 1 MAC Mini File Server |
| - 1 Backup Server |
| - 5 MACS |
| - 5 PCS |
| So in the new place we are basically going to be creating a private network within the overall network. |
| As far as I'm aware the new building has a patch panel room which then distributes the internet all over the building. |
| I'm going to take a guess that for us to create a private network in the network we will need to have a router off their patch panel into a switch which we will then plug-in all of our own devices some of which will have static ips and some which will be supplied via DHCP. We will have be given an IP which has a different host? so that no one else can access our computers/servers. |

| 2 switches connected via crossover, one configured for VLAN 10 on all ports and the other VLAN 20 on all ports, |
| Host at each end, |
| Hosts will be able to communicate if they're on the same IP network, |

| So my question is why would I use 172.20.250.0/23 and not 172.20.251.0/23? I believe this is because binary representation of 172.20.251.0/23 in the third (important) octet is 1111101 1 which would give a network address of 1111101 0 or 172.20.250.0/23. **Am I looking at this correctly?** |
| **Second question:** |
| On the CCNA Discovery exams multiple answer questions received partial credit if part of the answer given was correct. On the practice exams I have from Pearson IT (The ones that come with the 640-802 Odom books) they are marked completely incorrect even if part is correct. Is this the same on the CCNA exam? |
| **Final question:** |
| In CCNA Discovery exams multiple answer questions would have the additional instruction of 'Choose Two' or 'Choose all that apply' or 'Choose 3.' On the Odom/Pearson IT practice exams there is no additional instruction for these questions. How is it formatted on the CCNA exam? |
| Yes I am taking the 640-802 not the 640-816/640-822 and yes I will be taking them before September 30th. |

For example: |
| ::1 is the abbreviated notation for the loopback address |
| 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 |
| :: is the abbreviated notation for the unspecified address |
| 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 |
| It's pretty clear to me the the 0's are always going to be 0's in a loopback address and unspecified address but with other address types you have ranges and I'm unsure of what the ranges are and what ranges will be tested. |
| So for example Multicast high order bits are FF (1111 1111) and I take that to mean the Multicast range is from: |
| FF00:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001- |
| FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF |
| [Some Assignments](http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-multicast-addresses/ipv6-multicast-addresses.xhtml) |

| HEX:2000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 |
| BIN:0010000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000 |

I'm dreading STP questions on the test) I do know RSTP, PVST, and have done lab upon lab for STP. Still feel intimidated by it. I am comfortable with port security. |
| 3) Comfortable with DHCP and DNS. I have worked with these services extensively and have multiple DHCP servers and 1 BIND9 DNS server on my network |
| 4) Pretty OK with IPv6. I know the types of addresses, and some of the fundamentals. Started working with core concepts such as EUI-64, DPD, Neighbor Discovery, etc. today. Hitting IPv6 hard currently, but am still unsure how much of it will be on the EXAM. Have built multi-area OSPFv3 network over Frame Relay using Link Local addresses in my Dynamips Lab at least once. |
| 5) I feel like I could do frame relay in my sleep. I've built my frame relay cloud (including frame relay switch) at least 10 times throughout the course of setting up my Dynamips VM, having it crash or accidentally deleting it. I've set it up for IPv4 and IPv6 with multiple frame mappings and routes. |
| 6) Familiar with RIPv2 and loop prevention mechanisms. |
| 7) Familiar with OSPF and I have run multiple area OSPF in my home lab between sites with GRE tunnels. I feel pretty darn comfortable with OSPF. Know the defaults and differences between hello and dead timers. |
| 8) I know the basics of EIGRP. I don't use it much because I am in a multi-vendor environment lab at home. I know the parameters for neighbor relationships, multicast address, differences in tables, successors, etc. I still feel fuzzy on this simply because I have not used it as intimately as OSPF. |

Due to this I have started recommending that hopeful CCNAs take the test before they think they are ready. I think the $300 investment into the test is well worth it, and in the long run will save you a lot of time. Here is why: |
| **TIME SAVINGS** |
| Taking the CCNA and failing will give you an excellent picture of what you can improve and what you already know. This will help you prioritize your hours when you study, such at switching? Spend time on that. Got busted doing the NAT Lab question? Do similar labs 20 times. Taking too long doing subnetting? Learn how to make yourself faster. |
| **MONEY SAVINGS** |
| On of my NOC guys spend $500 to $1000 on routers, despite the fact that he is pretty much the best route guy in the NOC. I viewed it as a waste of money as he could easily do any route lab that comes up, but he still thinks a spanning-tree involves leaves. When he gave the test his first go, the Layer 2 stuff caught him off guard, especially the early Layer 2 lab, and it threw him for the rest of the test, by eating up too much time and shaking his confidence. Had he taken the test, I think he could have spend less money to acquire gear to help him pass what he was weak at. |
| **YOU GET TO LEARN THE TEST** |
| The test is weird, its not like other tests, and it can vary greatly buy what testing center you choose (I recommend that people near where I live drive about 40 minutes to a better environment). Many people can actually get intimidated by the environment, causing them to do slightly worse than expected. Do bring foam earplugs, some places have them to hand out, other locations don't mind if you have them STILL IN THE WRAPPER. This will help you keep your focus if you are easily distracted by noise. |
| **YOU DO NEED TO FAIL WELL** |
| Bring a notepad with you, when you are done with the test, get your stuff, including the notepad and write down everything that was a problem, as much as you can. Write down as much as you can remember about the lab questions, and what was easy or hard about them. |
| Note your weaknesses, and focus on those. You get a handy test sheet which tells you what you did well or poorly on. Its broad, but its 100% better than nothing. More experienced engineers can help you find resources to work on your weaknesses. |

I have never taken a Cisco exam & said to myself 'WTF, I've never even heard of that or seen this talked about'. However, it seems I always end up saying that when taking MS exams. It seems they have one group of people building the study book & courses and another group coming up with the questions which seem to just randomly grab them from pieces of Technet. I can actually somewhat confirm this because I know they outsource the test question creation process to a 3rd party which takes people who currently have the cert & gets them all in a room together to randomly pick topics from Technet. |

| 66.66.0.0 255.255.240.0 192.168.0.0/25 |
| What is bugging me.. |
| Why did the book avoid CIDR notation on the first one (and actually there are only 2 in the list of 10, where the book did use it)? Is there some reason for using the notation vs. listing out the full mask? I've re-read the material and have not found a reason to use one over the other (and I do understand that in the real world, it will typically only matter if the hardware doesn't support that notation/syntax). I'm just trying to make sure I'm not missing something as to why it's listed one way over the other in the book (and might also be required on the test). |
| The other part, is that I obviously got the second one wrong (unless it's a mistake by the author). I the others right (as long as CIDR notation would have been accepted in place of full masks). Why is the second one a /25 and not a /17? Wouldn't /17 equate to '192.168.0-127.x' and be the right answer? I see a /25 summary as '192.168.0.0-127' which would not cover the range specified in the 3rd octet. Am I missing something, or is this a typo? If anyone has this book, I'm looking at pages 198 and 204. |

| However, routers are designed to not forward data link broadcasts (mac address broadcasts), as well as ip broadcasts. So how would you include routers in the 'management vlan'? |
| Take for example three routers connected in a line, end to end. One on the end could be configured to have an interface in the management vlan (this one will be doing routing on a stick for the switches), but the other two. I'm guessing it involves applying an acl to a certain interface on each and then targeting specific ip addresses outside of the management vlan's subnet. So, not really a management vlan per se, but rather a management interface. TIA |

| The first thing I did was just book the exam. I booked it on 1st May and have just studied with almost all of my free time since.

| I'd say reading through those books and working through all the extra material with it was the most useful resource. |
| I also used the CBT Nuggets video series. I found Jeremy Cioara was a breathe of fresh air when reviewing topics; something about the way he teaches really gets you motivated to start labbing after having read the really complex details in the book. |

| I also used Packet Tracer to create a huge lab involving all the different technologies (frame relay, routing protocols, VLSM, VLANs, STP etc etc). |
| To practice subnetting, I simply used www.subnettingquestions.com |
| Having done the CCNA before, I'd already learned a particular way to do subnetting and I'm comfortable with it. In fact, the sections of Wendell Odom's book and the CBT Nuggets videos regarding subnetting I just completely skipped. All I'd say is find a way that's good for you and stick with it. Learning multiple ways of doing it I'd say would be a bad idea. Mostly it just comes with practice, so find a way you like (and that works!) and just keep practicing with it. If you're gonna sit the single CCNA exam I would say you need to be pretty snappy with it though. |
| What I did in the last week was activate the exams that came with Wendell Odom's library. These were super useful, I only wished I'd activated them sooner as they would have been a great way to test my knowledge on areas I'd just read up and done lab work on. |
| That pretty much sums up everything I used to learn the material. |
| My thoughts on the actual exam.. it was _hard_. I found it very difficult anyway. I had two labs to work through, one to set up ACLs and another to configure/troubleshoot EIGRP. Getting to question 50 of 50 with 5 minutes on the clock only to be presented with an EIGRP lab was heart breaking. In the end I found the actual solution but didn't have enough time to type in the command and the exam finished. I swear if I could have just finished that lab my mark would have been closer to the 90 mark! |
| Anyway, it feels great to be back certified, I now intend to kick back and head to Glastonbury festival tomorrow :) |

Just having one of those moments where something almost entirely makes sense, but I can't tell if it's a typo and this exact question hasn't come up in the errata. |
| The following networks need summarization: |
| 172.1.4.0/25 |
| 172.1.4.128/25 |
| 172.1.5.0/24 |
| 172.1.6.0/24 |
| 172.1.7.0/24 |
| From what I can see, the 3rd (interesting) octet appears to increase in a way that would fall within a block size of 4. So, we can say the summarization is 172.1.0.0/22 (/22 being a 252 mask, so 4 block size). |
| What confuses me is that, if we're using a /22, that means the ranges are: |
| 172.1.0.1 through 172.1.3.254 |
| 172.1.4.1 through 172.1.7.254 |
| etc. |
| This makes sense for all of the above networks that need summarization, except for the 172.1.4.0/25..Or is it that valid host ranges don't really matter in summarization and that you can lump a 172.1.4.0/25 network into summarization under a 172.1.0.0/22 without worrying about it being invalid? |

Didn't really care about it. Took my CCNP exams this past summer only to find out it doesn't actually count unless I renew my CCNA. So I re-took my CCNA and failed it. I was angry. VERY angry. |
| I finally got around to rescheduling the test (at $300 a pop, I was a in no hurry!), and this time I'm not screwing around. I'm using every method to make sure I give the 'right' answers this time. I am legitimately angry because the access list lab is rigged to make you give the wrong answer. |
| It specifically tells you to 'allow web access from host X to server Y. Block all other types of traffic'. Not 'all other tcp traffic'. ALL OTHER TYPES OF TRAFFIC. |
| I know for fact when I did the test last August, and in fact in any implementation in the last decade or more, if you told me to do this, I would allow ports 80 and 443 TCP, and then deny all IP. |
| Reading several test tutorials, it seems Cisco wants you to allow only port 80 TCP (pedantic, but okay), then turn around and deny all TCP traffic. |
| I got at least that lab wrong despite having a functional implementation (it passed all connectivity tests, of course) because they want you to give the wrong answer. |
| UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH. So now I'm memorizing the wrong answer so I can pass this flipping test so that my CCN**P** will be valid. |
| Screw you very much, Cisco. |
| *** |
| EDIT - Okay, perhaps my anger is unwarranted here. I'm reading reports that there was a bug in the sim and that it should be fixed now. This is just getting under my skin. I obviously know how to network. This is now about me know what they want me to regurgitate into their sim so I can have my cert be valid. There's no human way I pass all three of the CCNP exams and not know the basics. |
| Screw it, I'm rolling with this solution. I know it is the correct one. If they fail me on it again, they can take their cert and shove it: |
| >access-list 100 permit tcp host (allowed host) host (restricted server) eq www |
| access-list 100 deny ip any host (restricted server) |
| access-list 100 permit ip any host (unrestricted server) |

| **It was incredibly easy and took 30 minutes if you have the stuff laying around! It's also pretty cheap.** |
| **[SETUP DIAGRAM](http://imgur.com/6qSMg5Q)** |
| My network lab isn't connected to my home network in any way as I make a ton of changes while practicing for my CCNA. I thought about connecting them to manage the stuff, but frequent changes of VLANs and IP addresses would have screwed me up. |
| ###Here is what you need: |
| 1. [USB>Serial](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007T27H8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) adapters for each device in your lab (or enough serial ports ) |
| 2. An old computer fast enough to run a Linux distribution. |
| **(I used Ubuntu Server 12.10..and that's how I'll write this tutorial for)** |
| 3. Enough USB ports for all your devices. |
| **(I used a Hub to make the setup as clean as possible. I'd reccommend a powered hub if you have boat loads of devices)** |
| You can obviously do the wiring any way you want..like using console cables instead of the DB9/RJ45 adapters like I did. **[HERE](http://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/19odee/cisco_rollover_cable_your_services_are_no_longer/)** is the post on how to to wire the adapters. |
| I used **[these](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007T27H8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)** USB/Serial Adapters since they were cheap and they worked without effort in Ubuntu 12.10. |
| ###**Here are the steps I took:** |
| 1. Hook it all up |
| 2. Install Ubuntu Server 12.10 on the PC. |
| **(I made my hostname AccessServer..I also selected to OpenSSH Server option when presented with tasksel)** |
| 3. Install the software to make the magic happen (ser2net) |
| Here are the terminal commands I used..**[this](http://cciedynamips.wordpress.com/category/6-installing-setting-up-ser2net/)** and **[this](http://mellowd.co.uk/ccie/?tag=ser2net)** will probably help you. |
| **Update your packages:** |
| sudo apt-get update |
| **Install ser2net** |
| sudo apt-get install ser2net |
| **Determine the names of your serial ports** |
| My built in ports were ttyS0 (serial) and ttyS1 (parallel). |
| My USB/Serial adapters were ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1.. |
| dmesg grep tty |
| **Edit the config file in a text editor** |
| sudo nano /etc/ser2net.conf |
| **Modify the end of the file** |
| This is what mine looked like..I used all USB adapters to make the physical wiring nice and clean |

| 2003:telnet:0:/dev/ttyUSB3:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner |
| .. |
| Press Ctrl+O to write the file, CTRL+X to exit nano |
| **Restart ser2net so the changes are there** |
| sudo /etc/init.d/ser2net restart |
| **All Done! Now test via telnet from another computer on your LAN** |
| telnet AccessServer [port] |
| Use the port number that lines up with the tty device you typed into the config file. I like to use SecureCRT and keep sessions open with all devices in tabs. |
| You could make a few changes to the setup if you want to access the server remotely, but I had not interest in doing so. I will only access the lab from the local network. |
| **I simply did this to remove wires from my apartment and make it so I only need to get up for topology changes. Changes to router/switch configurations no longer disconnect me. Think of it as a local out-of-band management** |

I'm not the first person to ask this question. However, I feel that I have a different skill set that the other people I have seen post and I just wanted to run this by other Cisco/Networking folks and get your opinions. |
| Basically, I am 27 years old, have a BA in history and live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I landed my first job out of college and part of the job requirement was integrating our product into the clients existing infrastructure (which sounds cool but was really just setting up vlans or bugging the admin to put a rout to our subnet in his router and occasionally getting to mess around in a wire closet). So in July the company starts having trouble and by September we show up on a Monday and they had locked the doors on us. |
| I started attending the Cisco netacad at my local community college in the Fall and hope to have my CCNA in hand by May. I felt this was a better route <--- Network humor --- than just braindumpping for an exam. The program really does push you and I have logged about 300 hours in the lab working mostly on 2900 series switches and 2600 series routers and feel that I am really getting a good foundation in networking - I've made A's through fundamentals and routing and am holding down an A in switching . In addition I've also been able to take some security classes and plan on getting my Security+ around May around the same time I get the CCNA and eventually a CCNA Security. |
| So basically what I'm curious about is how marketable is that kind of skill set in a rather large market like DFW and secondly what kind of job should I aim for. I am certainly not above starting at the bottom and working my way up in the industry but at the same time my wife is on my back to get out there and make money. |

| So my understanding is that you set up NAT as dynamic, and 'overloaded' so that you can potentially have fewer real registered IP addresses than you have hosts who need simultaneous internet connectivity. This means that you're implementing PAT = port address translation, where the port refers to the port of the actual TCP segment. |
| My question is, when the router is screwing around with the lookup tables for a given TCP port, it should have *several* TCP ports associated with a given private address, right? Several different TCP ports that map to the same IP address? (I am assuming one computer is using several different TCP source ports because it is communicating with multiple other hosts). |
| Also, if the TCP port number needs to me something like http or telnet, is it impossible for this device to communicate if it's on the wrong end of PAT? e.g., let's say two FTP servers are on a private network and I wanted to have a host on a different LAN communicate with both of them. If all FTP packets for both machines are directed towards the router with the same global IP, and the same TCP port number, it is impossible for the router to discriminate between packets headed for the 1st FTP server vs. the 2nd one?',False,self,t5_2qjhh,False,True,t3_ron9x,http://www.reddit.com/r/ccna/comments/ron9x/nat_port_number_question/, |

| Just a little background, I am a IT teacher for my high school, and we have just implemented Cisco networking into our classrooms. My background happens to be in maintenance and programming, but I was very excited to get into the material. After teaching it for the past month and a half, I have to say that I may enjoy networking more than any other IT field. I do have a couple of questions though so try not to judge me, as I have only been doing this for a month and a half haha(I am getting certified as a Cisco Instructor and I am probably going to take the CCNA this summer) |
| Anywho, here is my dilemma. I am have a huge culminating project over routing, switching, and routing protocols. I have in my possession 14 computers, 3 layer 2 Cisco switches (can't think of the model at the moment), and a couple of 1800 series routers. We have an open fiber connection that is connected to our football field that I would like the kids to use. We have cable ran to the school that is connected to a Cisco small business router (basically a home networking router), and a layer 2 switch. |
| Here is what I would like to do. I would like to have 7 computers on one switch, 7 on the other, and those 2 switches connected to 2 different routers that are connected with a DCE/DTE cable to simulate a WAN connection. I would then like to set up a connection to my small business router so the computers could hook up to the internet. So here is my question: how would I got about connecting the computers to the internet? I understand how to connect the two routers together, how to simulate a WAN connection, and how to assign IP addresses dynamically and statically. The problem I am worried about is twofold: Setting up NAT with the routers, and IP address conflicts. Should I (or do I have to) let the small business router deal with the NAT and IP assigning (currently the small business router dynamically assigns IP addresses to the 3 computers it is connected to), and if I do that, what commands do I have to put in my 1800 series routers in order to successfully forward traffic to the small business internet router. Should I, instead, just create a Windows 2008 DHCP server? I know this is confusing, but maybe you can help me! |
| tl;dr - I need to set up a small network of 14 computers, two layer 2 switches, and 2 Cisco 1800 series routers to connect to a home router in order to get those computers on the net..help! |

| I've begun a class recently for the CCNA. I've studied for about a day and the professor mentioned that jobs can be found in other parts of my state, but not here. I want to relocate when I get certified but I want to be sure that I have a job lined up for me, so I have a couple of questions and some concerns about all of this. |
| I don't have much experience with jobs. I have a little volunteer experience from high school, about a year as a cashier and 4 months as a computer repair guy at a small shop. All I'll have is a CCNA after that and it'll be a year before the class ends, so I have some time to look for a job and work around my weird school schedule. |
| I'm very scared of the job market right now. I just went to monster.com and there were a total of 7 network admin jobs listed for the place I wanted to relocate to. I went to simplyhired and there were a lot of pages, but also a lot of unrelated jobs as the pages went on. And every network admin job wanted 5 - 7 years of experience. |
| I'm really lost, scared and honestly feeling pretty low right now about other things in my life that I don't need to go into. But this CCNA stuff is basically my dream at the moment. The material looks really cool -- I actually think I'm going to like this stuff a lot. The professor even said it's really fun, even if it doesn't look that way. It was surprising, actually. But how can I find a job after getting certified without any networking *work* experience? |
| I read another thread here where someone mentioned government contracting jobs, but when I spoke to someone about that they said I might have to move somewhere else. There's a certain city I want to move to and I don't know if I want to work for the government only because it seems a bit limiting and not too secure. |

| Today I've been trying to hook up my home CCNA lab to my internet connection. The first problem I had was my little D-Link router would not let me configure routes so I had to remove the old firmware and put DD-WRT on it. It's a D-Link DIR-615. |
| Anyway, I cannot get any hosts from within my lab network to communicate with the outside world (I'm trying to just get web access). I can ping the WAN interface with a connected laptop within my lab. And from my lab with a router having an interface sitting in the same network as my usual home network, I can ping the default gateway for my WAN interface. |
| I've put an album here of my current set up and the tests I've been doing: http://imgur.com/a/pJPHR |
| I'm convinced its to do with the routing on my home router (RydalHigh) but I just cannot understand what's happening with some of the tracerts on my hosts. They'll trace to my router's WAN interface just fine, but refuse to trace to my WAN default gateway and also seem to take a different route? |
| Anyway, if anyone's got the time to take a look at this and give me some pointers that'd be great. Sorry if this seems a bit disjointed but I've been trying to configure this for hours and have quickly put this together! I'm more than happy to provide any further info.. |
| In case it matters I'm using three 1760 routers with WIC-2Ts and 2950 switches. |
