Passed ONT & Finally A CCNP
Passed ONT this afternoon. This was my final test to get my CCNP. It has been about a 10 month journey. Enjoyed every minute of it, but somewhat happy that it is over and done with.
ONT, for me, was the easiest of the tests. I have no great love for QoS but I seem to understand it better than some of the other technologies. For anyone taking this test I recommend you know your SDM AutoQos and wireless management products.
Used CBT nuggets, Cisco Press books, and the Cisco Network Acad materials.
I think I am going to take a week or so off then dive into the two test track to get my CCDP. Should be interesting seeing that I am not that "logically" minded as I think the design courses what you to be.
Oh well, off to get drunk.

So now you have nothing keeping you from taking 294 and a design exam to wrap up your MCSE, right?
Congrats! -

I already have the 294 just need the 298. Haven't thought much about getting my MCSE. My current job is Cisco-centric and I do not get to play with the servers at all, so Microsoft stuff has been put on the back-burner for now. Maybe sometime will finish it off when/if I get bored with networking. -

Congratulations!!!
Prior to working on your CCNP how much experience did you have with Cisco products? Trying to gain some perspective on the 10 month time frame it took you.
Cheers! -

Prior to the CCNP I was doing just basic configs. Setting up Point-to-Point links, basic routing for 10 or less remote offices, L2L tunnels, etc. CCNA level stuff I would say. -

Good luck on the design track.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

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.

This was my final test to get my CCNP. It has been about a 10 month journey.
Congratulations! How many hours per day/week did you study during the ten months? That seems impressive to do while also working full time. Way to go! -

How many hours per day/week did you study during the ten months?
On the weeknights that I did study it was 1-2 hours. The weekends were the time I did most of my studying. I would try for at least 6 hours per day and probably averaged 8-10 on most weekend days.
