Studying for ICND1 640-822 before deadline, thoughts?
I would like to get some feedback on my studying plan for those of you who have passed the ICND1 640-822 exam. I am using WO's 640-822 3rd edition for studying and I am only 2 chapters in. My goal is to study enough to be ready to take the test before the September 30th deadline this year when the test changes. That gives…

Failed 100-101 ICND1 and Learned a Lesson
I am certainly not prepared with a final score of 705. Though, the part that really confuses me as compared to all the other exams I have taken previously, the practice tests from the Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom shows that I knew the material that was covered. All other practice tests I took before for other…

NAT Label Question

Assuming my local host at 192.168.2.100 sends a page request to 157.166.255.18 (CNN I think), then: the inside local is the 192 address the outside local is the 157 address Assume…

CCENT Down
I don't post often, but I am on here daily reading other posts. This place has helped me greatly. I do not do networking work daily at work so that wasn't much help. I used Odom's ICND1 book and subnettingquestions.com. I think I have probably answered 500 of the questions on that site. I would just do a few every hour…

Netflow analyser client
Having looked into this, is anyone using a netflow client to analyse the traffic? Solarwinds appears to be the most popular but that appears to be a hungry beast regarding resources and memory. Can anyone here recommend a trial or full version of a netflow analyser that will run on a laptop/PC? Thank you.

Hi fellow exam takers, Just wanted to share some opinion on CCNA Security as someone that has been studying for it for about a month or more now.

How to delete VLAN in a VTP server?
By reading books, I got the impression that deleting vlan.dat would delete all the vlans. It doesn't. The command "del vlan.dat" only deletes the vlan.dat file in the flash. All vlans are still active. If I reload the server switch, somehow the switch would grab all the vlan information from a VTP client switch and all the…

Is hardware essential to pass CCENT?
Hi, studying for my CCENT and really enjoying it so far. I was wondering if you need to practice on hardware to pass it or do the simulators do just as good a job at accustoming you to the IOS? Also, if I did buy a switch, would it make sense to add it to my home network or just keep it as an isolated lab unit? Thank you

Windows 7 Can Participate in STP
I decided to hook my Cisco 2960 switches up to my home network. For now, [as there is no physical cable to the room where my lab is] I am using a PC running Windows 7 Professional to act as a wireless bridge.

Passed: 979/1000

Is there a way to prevent the main lab router from sending it's networks out of a specific port? Not sure if…
