Took it on October 6th, failed with a 770.

Took it again today, October 20th, passed with an 898, and with 10 minutes to spare.icon_twisted.gif

Now that's my style, lost it for a while, and it is back in full force!

The trick? Know VTP, know VLANs, and know ACLs. Obviously know subnetting, that is a given.

    The trick?
    I just suggest know everything the exam blueprint -- that way there shouldn't be anything tricky on the exam or in an interview for a CCNA job.

    CCNP or CCSP, haven't put a ton of thought into it yet. I'm taking a week off, and then I'm going to research which is a better fit for me.

    Thanks for asking! I love how folks on these forums aren't like "Congrats!" and thats it...

    Instead, you get "Congrats! What next?"...

    This is a beautiful thing. It keeps people motivated, and we all benefit from shared knowledge. It is a pleasure posting here and hearing what people have to say. :P[/i]

    well done congrats enjoy your ccna!!!

    Well, sad to say...the geek in me has already started to look at BSCI icon_study.gif

    BSCI will fit into what we're doing at work now, we just changed out a bunch or routers at all of our remote sites, so routing is more relevant (at the momemt)....

    I'm in the mood now, so I don't want to slack off then to lose the motivation...I'll probably be at it from tomorrow...

    Anyways...good luck whatever you guys choose, but I'm sure we'll be asking each other stuff along the way...

    Congratulations
    It must be a good feeling. I failed twice. Once with 707 then 809. Which study material did you use. I used Sybex book and a few classes I went to. That was a few years ago. I'm trying to make a comeback. I have the new sybex book 6th edition for the 802 and routersim simulator version 5. I also have 2 1720 routers. I know its good to have your own lab but I cant keep up with all the changes with cisco sometimes. I cant afford to by routers every 15 seconds. Do you think I can make it with the routersim and two 1720 routers for the 802?
    Thanks

    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.
