in Network+
So I took the exam at 8:30 this morning. Passed with Flying Colors.

Things that I would study.
OSI model and what protocols go in which layer.
Wireless implementation.
Routing Protocols.
The troubleshooting model. They test heavily on this.

What I used to Study for the exam.
CBT Nuggets - Great series for study.
Tom Lammles Network + Book.
and the study guide from MCMCSE.

Next stop is the Security + by the end of the year. Good luck for anyone who is getting ready for the Network +. Study hard and relax you will get it.
Goals for 2011.


Graduate from WGU by Dec 2011. I have almost 80 CU's starting in February. This is also my new years resolution for 2011.

On the list for January 2011
Project+ and CIW Foundations.

    Congrats on the pass. Nice score as well. Do suggest if you're going for Sec+ to pick up the Gibson book, it's all you'll need.

    Congratz!!!

    What do you mean by the troubleshooting model? I am currently studying for the network+.

    I definitely recommend getting Darril Gibson's book for the Sec+.

    Taken from - The Network+ exam: Your first list to study

    CompTIA’s Network+ troubleshooting model includes eight steps, which you should know inside out:
    1. Identify the exact issue.
    2. Re-create the problem.
    3. Isolate the cause.
    4. Formulate a correction.
    5. Implement the correction.
    6. Test the solution.
    7. Document the cause and solution.
    8. Give feedback.
    In my own experience, port numbers, media lengths and speeds were some of the points to ensure you know. I just memorized a big table of those and when I went to test copied it out on my dry-erase for a quick reference.

    Hypntick is correct that is the model I was speaking of.

    And yes I already have the Gibson book in hand ready to start studying as soon as I get a moment at work.

    I have about two to 3 weeks to study for the exam. Unfortunately all the testing centers around town are closed right before and after Christmas. It shouldn't be a problem though.

    here is the current methodology:
    4.6 Given a scenario, implement the following network troubleshooting methodology
    • Information gathering – identify symptoms and problems
    • Identify the affected areas of the network
    • Determine if anything has changed
    • Establish the most probable cause
    • Determine if escalation is necessary
    • Create an action plan and solution identifying potential effects
    • Implement and test the solution
    • Identify the results and effects of the solution
    • Document the solution and the entire process
    2011 Certification Plans so far:
    [Cisco: CCENT (ICND1)-> CCNA (ICND2)]
    [MS: MCP-> MCDST-> MCTS / MCITP:ESDT7-> MCITP:EDA7]

    Class taking:
    [Cisco NetAcademy - Network Fundamentals (35%)]

    Video currently watching:
    [CBT Nuggets - CCENT w/ Jeremy (50%)]
    [CBT Nuggets - 20-721 (40%)

    I plan on it. Might even squeeze in A+ by the end of the year. I need to renew it for college. Wish it renewed itself when I took hire exams like Cisco.

    Ah I gotcha!! Thanks for the heads-up and Congratz again on the pass. I hope to join you in the passing of Net+ in a few weeks.
