Hey Guys,

Just wanted to share a little on what I learned during my condensed ICND2 Course. Provided by Nectar Network Knowledge in Australia...

A LOT of routing (OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, Static Routes)
The difference between Link State and Distance Vector routing protocols
A LOT of switching (VLANS especially)
a little VPN and a little IPv6
Access Control Lists (standard, extended)
a little frame relay (really needed this one!!! frame relay scares me...)
PPP encapsulation on a serial link (also PAP and CHAP authentication)

The training was great and the instructor Chris Welsh is amazing!

The course was on for a week and I loved every minute. Got a book from the course also, the ICND2 Wendell Odom book. It came with some video training, I will use this along with my Chris Bryant videos my dad got me, only wish I had some $$$ to get the CBT ones because I hear they are pretty good.

Oh well I guess thats it, giving myself till September to get the knowledge in and I sit the exam (ICND2 640-816) on the 7th of September. I will then be a CCNA!!!

Thanks guys for all the support and help, I am pretty hopeless at answering most of the questions on here, but I do my best if I think I know an answer. Just wanna give a little something back. Hope this helps somebofy out there, somehow...

Thanks,
David

well the bad news is that in the cisco world (and the network world pretty much) you're never really done with training
