in CCNA & CCENT
Hi,

First time poster here.

I just passed C.C.N.A. without any **** or whatever they are called.

Studied by myself and just lurked around looking at people's problems/topics unless you know exactly what you are looking for and then move away from PC and go back to study.


I suggest anyone who wants to get it done with stick with ONE book and don't waste your time checking Internet for problems.

The way I wasted time was going on Youtube, searching for assistance with a Topic and then watching 5 more takes (By different users) and getting bored.


I used Todd Lammel's Book all the way through.

Funny thing is I lost marks on the basic stuff and got 100% on everything advance.


Good Luck.

Lab:
b.t.w I bought 3 Cisco 2500 Routers + 1 290 and 2 3548 XL(Garbage)

Ever since I discovered GNS3 I stopped buying Routers.....


Any suggestions are welcome for the new comers. Please post!

    Version 6.

    I also bought v7 of the the book.

    Honestly Todd sometimes babbles on about irrelivent stuff.

    I looked at the topics from Cisco's website printed them and then went ahead.

    One important thing I will say is mandatory is looking at Routing tables in actual routers.

    I also passed the CCNA today with the same score, I used the same book 6th Edition. I was nervous before but once I started I was calm and collected.

    My advice is to try to stay calm and relax.

    Congrats on the pass. I myself have been searching around on Youtube watching random videos, and I agree some are good, but most are a waist time especially the amount of time I spend looking for a specific video.

    amm 7 was recently released.... Version 6 contains more specific topics...

    like in ver 7 Switching section - you don't need to read or learn to configure EtherChannel or VoIP.

    Congrats to you both. Great going!
    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.
