The labs I seen from my study materials are just basic VTP configurations and simple switch configurations.  It sounds like there are five different labs on the exam.  Does anyone have information on them?  Does the latest How2Pass have them?  It sounds like there may be a lab on radius configuration, vlan-access maps, setting up spanning tree priorities and HRSP.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

It's my understanding that the ISCW exam changed earlier this month (Sept. 09).  I'm getting ready to go take it based on H2P, as well as the certified materials, but am now very concerned that I will not be prepared for the new questions. Can anyone shed light on what has changed? Thanks!

Can someone clarify if RIP can be redistributed into a NSSA? and confirm the answer to this question

On Question NA343, why is there both a "CSU/DSU" box AND an "Analog Modem"?  It seems like the green box would be the CSU/DSU and the line going from the green box to the WAN would be a Digital Line (aka Serial link).  There is no explanation for this question.  Adding an explanation as to why this is the way it is would be really helpful.  If this is a real question on the test, I would not know why I am putting this as the answer.

Thank you,
Geoff

Hello,

I have the following Problem with the topology below. If the connection between as1_r1 and as1_r6 or as1_r3 and as1_r7 flaps one time, all routers gets a high CPU load and the route 10.1.16.0/21 (the summary is configured on as1_r6 and as1_r7 on the serials) is in eigrp active state all time, because every router queries for this route....

One solution is to shut down one serial on as1_r{1,2,3} or to configure as1_r6 or as1_r7 as a stub router, but I think there should be another solution.

If needed, I could post the configurations...

Thanks in Advance
Viets

When will the interactive hands on lab be available for sims 5 and 6?

Hi All,

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

I have approx 5 weeks before the ICND 1 course.

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

Thanks in advance for you help

Jas

Hi,

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

Had the following sims:

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

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

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

The answer states:

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

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

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

That is a rough test. Thanks how2pass, couldn't have done it without ya. By the way, on one of the labs where you configure VTP transparent but it wants the VTP advertisments to be forwarded...the switch defaults to VTP version 2 when you set it the vtp mode transparent. The material on this website always seems to be pretty right on. As a matter of fact I have recommended this site to two other people and one of them passed their CCNA recently and the other passed their CCENT(useless cert) this week.

Thanks again
