Also when configuring tracking you cannot set the timeout…

Mid-December I started using the Official Certification Guide and some CBT Nuggets videos. Glad I was able to get one out of the way.. now to move…

CCNP Switch : Advice for using MST?
Hi Everyone, I am studying for CCNP Switch. I can initially set up MST just fine. At least good enough for the exam. However, my lab has grown to almost a production environment, it has 7 switches, including 1 as a management switch. My problem is once I get MST installed and stable, I bump offline all switches when I make…

CCNP: Route-OCG
Hello all. I've been studying for Route for several months now using OCG, GNS3Vault, Lab Manual and various videos; however, after doing some final research (sitting exam in two days) and forum browsing I'm getting the vibe that OCG doesn't cut it concerning book resources. My question is: how much information is missing…

CCNP Switch: Failed
Just barely! Needed 790, got a 751. Not discouraged, but a little upset about the $250. This test is significantly more difficult than CCNA. Back to the drawing board.

What should I do?
So as some of you may know. I have been studying on and off for Switch (I have a thread on this). Study efforts were a bit tough the 2nd half of last year because my wife had a baby which pulled me away from studies a bit. So in the last month or so I was able to ramp up my studies again and go after switch yesterday.…

Sooooo.... Funny Story
A few weeks back I posted after passing my TSHOOT exam which was the last of the 3 I had to pass. I waited a few days and my profile hadn't updated to show my CCNP certification so I opened a ticket and low and behold my SWITCH exam had expired which was the first exam I had written. I wrote switch back in 2011 and then…
