Did'nt get too much on Unix and appletalk, but make sure you know the OSI model well, like which layers do what, and what devices work at each layer etc.

You should at least know all the stuff in our Netware Linux and Appletalk TechNotes, and yeah, you have to know the OSI model pretty well. Don't worry though, it may seem like a drag to learn the OSI model, it will help you understand many other aspects of networking.

I got very little on the OSI model and loads on appletalk unix etc...
Just depends what questions get picked i guess

/usr

You should know the OSI model regardless. It's not going to go away after this exam.

Not only that, it will make your life easier if you're planning on continuing in IT as a career. Anything dealing with networks, you'll want to know/understand/explain the OSI forward and backward.

The good news: The effort you put into the study, it will stay with you and save you much headache in future exams!

/usr

Best of luck, by the way.

I took the 2k5 beta. There weren't too many: Appletalk (3-4), Unix (4-5), Novell (8-10) out of 90 total. You definetly need to know the OSI model.
