I am feeling nervous, but I don't think further studying will help! (on and off for six months since ICND1).

Fingers crossed, I'm going in!

A little nervous huh???

This last night just go over the stuff you dont really feel 100% with. Maybe watch those specific CBT nuggets and get some lab time in, if you have one.

Good Luck!

Take a quick look over the ICND2 blueprint and see if there is anything your weak on. It never hurts to take a look at those areas the night before (or the morning of!). Good luck man! Hopefully tomm. you will join the ranks as a CCNA.

GOOD LUCK DREW!!!

You should be good, my only advice would be to get a good rest and have a quick review tomorrow morning Wish you all the best!

Good luck. Watch that clock and don't forget to breath!

Good luck! Read each question carefully on the exam so that you make sure you have a clear understanding of what they are asking (it helped me when I took that exam).

Updated - passed with an 862!

Not thrilled with the score, but I am happy to have passed (on the first try).

I got hung up badly on an early sim, I know I didn't get full credit (but I know I got at least part of it right).

Then later on I was hit by a simlet that really constrained the commands I could use to solve the problem, did some guessing there (time was running down!).

I flew through the remaining 15 multiple choice questions, making quick decisions to make up for time spent earlier, and expecting one last sim I never got. I feel like I did a great job with subnetting, NAT, ACL, and routing protocols.

I struggled with VTP and STP, only because of the WAY in which the questions were asked.

Overall I think the test was a FAIR assessment of my knowledge, however my ability to troubleshoot and fix CISCO gear is much better than the test would allow for. For example, if I could use the full range of commands I could have knocked out that simlet, but I realize CISCO is testing me on using SPECIFIC commands, not just ANY command.

Drinking this weekend!!!

Configure, Verify, and troubleshoot a switch with VLANs and interswitch communication: 80%

Implement an IP addressing scheme and ip services to meet requirements: 88%

Configure and troubleshoot basic operation and routing on Cisco devices: 66%

Implement, verify, troubleshoot NAT and ACL's: 100%

Implement and verify WAN links: 83%

Another "Andrew" laying the smack-down on ICND2 is certainly a good sign for me. That's awesome!

I don't know yet. I've been studying Cisco (ICND1 & 2) for more than a year, so it is strange not knowing what to do.

Most likely:

Windows 7 (first step on renewing my MCSE into MCITP EA)

or

Linux+ (would be good for jobs where a little Linux admin is required)

or

CCNA: Wireless (wouldn't help me that in much in my job, but would be nice to have, I'll probably wait on this one until I need to renew my CCNA)

Congratulations!!

It sounds like you could use a few drinks now

Congrats for passing!

Nicely done.. I think the exam focused WAY too much on VTP and STP.
