Hi.  I'm kind of new here at how2pass, so please forgive me if I ask a stupid question here or there.  I recently went thru the CCNA 5 day boot camp that global knowledge puts on in Dallas, TX.  The boot camp was great.  I really feel like I learned a lot about Cisco.  However, when I got back home and signed up for how2pass, I started taking the tests and realized that I didn't know nearly as much as I thought I did...    I'm curious if anyone else has went thru the CCNA boot camp via Global Knowledge and taken Cisco's CCNA test.  What were your thoughts on the global knowledge class, the practice exams here on this site, and the real exam?  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I've been studying several hours per day getting ready for my CCNA exam. 

I'm ready to have my CCNA cert!

It is kind of harder than I thought in the beginning. I stumbled on a router sim question very early and not even sure if I saved the config or not :-). Then I got another router sim question and I thought man I am going to fail. amazingly i got through the rest of the questions rather quickly and finished with 15 minutes left.

what can i say, study hard and definitely get to 100% understanding of your h2p questions and answers. This is the best money you can spend for your certifications.

I used Odom's two books and Lammle's CCNA study guide, plus the wonderful H2P!

Hello all of you on the Forum !

Ohh yes - It happend - I just passed the 640-802 exam today with a score close to 100% after many month of hard Studying + Training on H2P! - This just make me a very happy Guy...

There's absolutely NO DOUBT, that hard Training on the H2P Site, helps the CCNA exam-taker a LOT, when joining the real exam ! - Many of the questions on the real exam were SO CLOSE to those of the questions on H2P !

So to all of you, training on the H2P CCNA Site ! - Continue your (hard) Training on this Site, and DON't give  up - Then you'll succeed on the real exam for SURE !

H2P is just so GREAT !

However I've a little question regarding an EIGRP SIM Troubleshooting case, I got on my real exam today, but which gave me some trouble in solving the case 100% correct. (Unfortunately I used all to much time on this SIM Case on the exam).

Therefore I'm bit curious regarding which (and how many) errors that were actually introduced in the actual EIGRP Network on the exam ?

Perhaps some of you also has tried this EIGRP Case on your real exam, and thus perhaps know the correct solution / answer in finding and fixing the errors introduced in the actual EIGRP SIM case!?

The case had MANY similarities with the H2P QID-S16 EIGRP SIM (eg a Newly added "Home2" Router to a existing EIGRP netw., but Home2 NOT establishing EIGRP Neighbor relationship with its Neighbor "Home1" Router, (just above the Home2 Router) on the Netw exhibit for the case)

Because of the extreme time-pressure during the case I only found ONE single error in the network: WRONG EIGRP AS Number configured on the newly added Home2 Router!

But when changing the AS Number on the Home2 Router to the Correct  "AS 12" (I think it was that number?), still NO EiGRP Routes showed up in the (new) Home2 Routing Table...

Then I checked the Status of ALL Interfaces on both Home1 and Home2, and they were all together in a UP/UP Status - It was looking OK!

I also checked the Router EIGRP "Network" statements on both Routers, and they also seems to reflect the configured IP addresses applied to the various Interfaces on the 2 Routers - Then I simply gave up in solving the case, due to my lack of time on the exam.

The only thing I didn't checked very deeply in the case, was the IP Subnet number + Mask configured on the I/F's on the Link between Home1 and Home2 - I never discovered if there perhaps was a mismatch between these addresses and/or Masks on the link between the 2 Routers, preventing them in establishing a EIGRP Neighbor relationship ???

So - Does anybody of you have a clue regarding the correct solution for this Real-exam EIGRP case ???

Pls help, if you can ! - I'm VERY curious about this !

Thank you in advance!

Best regards

Hi,

I have finally decided to give my CCNP : and after reading all the posts here I will start off with BCMSN..
I needed some advice on study material..Is this the book that is recommended CCNP BCMSN Official Exam Certification Guide, 4th Edition
by David Hucaby?
And will I require any other sort of material...Also I am new to this website so kindly guide me as to where I can find some good stuff!

Your help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I passed the CCNA Intro Exam (640-821) in January, 2007, and studied most of the material on the ICND but never took the test due to job pressures. What exam can I take at this point to get my CCNA? I am not a Cisco Academy member.

I was surprised to get 3 sims:

-EIGRP troubleshooting, summarization, and stubs
-ISIS <-> EIGRP redistribution
-OSPF multi-area and stub

Then there were a couple simlets. All this thrown at me during the first few questions. I was on question 16 with only 45 minutes left. Luckily, it was smoother sailing with the remaining 45 questions. Other than the sims, not too much on OSPF and EIGRP. I got 100% on EIGRP, OSPF, and IPv6, but bombed on BGP and Multicast...can't figure that one out since my How2Pass scores on those two subjects were perfect. But in either case, definitely couldn't have done as well without How2Pass. Great resource for studying and understanding the topics. 

There was one very legitimate error to look out for. One question on ISIS stated similar to "Which of the following THREE items are true regarding the diagram", yet it said "(choose 2)" after the question and would only let you choose 2. The answer also wasn't obvious, as there could have possibly been 2 or 3 answers. I was too far in the test to notify the proctor about it, but I found that it was odd that they would have not caught an actual error on the exam.

This site is great... got a 100% in the paper... just practice all questions... and have a good detailed understanding of all sections... and you should be all the way through....

I don't think I would have done so well without How2Pass.  I did take the ICND1 course (also took ICND2, the exam for which I want to take in a few weeks for the CCNA), but How2Pass gave me the confidence to pass because it gave me a feel for how the exam would go and what kinds of questions would be asked.  I finished the exam in less than 45 minutes and got 100% on 5 of the seven topics covered.

Will the new CCNA-Security 640-553 IINS practice test be offered ?

What about the old CCSP Network Security 1 + 2 tests ?

CWNA test ?

I found the access-list statement in this simlet rather confusing, if any one has any thoughts..:

When I use Austin(config)# access-list 102 deny tcp any host 192.168.37.1 0.0.0.255 eq telnet, the simlet returns "Invalid input" error.
When I omit "host" it takes it and marks the answer "correct".

Is this an error in the simlet or What is the right way to do it in this scenario? Anyone with some insight?
