My CCENT Notes

ChickenNuggetz

Great guide! I've been regularly comparing my notes (I'm using Odom's Second Edition ICND1 Certification Guide) to yours that you post here. Quick question for you:

I've noticed you sometimes include some information that I dont see in my book; are you using Odom's newer 3rd edition or Lamele's CCNA book, or something else altogether?

For example, PAP and CHAP are nowhere listed in Odom's 2nd Edition and I dont remember seeing that level of PPP knowledge in the exam topics for the CCENT. I've also noticed the Basic Security you've listed differs from that of Odom's second edition. Sorry if this seems really nit-picky, I'm taking the exam in a week and I guess I got a little worried when I was seeing things from your notes that were not in mine; just trying to be thorough!

I use Todd Lammle's books. I don't like cisco press books.

I know you have already heard this, but thanks for these notes! Going to finish up my CBT nuggets videos, then read T. Lammle's book, practice some labs and go take my CCENT.

There are three ways (options

) to handle an non-secure mac address:
1) Shutdown- The frame will be dropped and will be reported to the log. The port will also be shut down.
2) Protect- The frame will be dropped and reported to the log.
3) Restrict- The frame will be dropped.

First I wanted to say great notes. They make for a good second reference to my own notes for the CCENT.

I did want to bring this to attention though. Protect and restrict are actually backwards.
Protect - Drops the frame and DOES NOT increase the counter.
Restrict - Drops the frame and DOES increase the counter.

Can be found here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/port_sec.pdf

When configuring port security violation modes, note the following information:
protect
—Drops packets with unknown source addresses until you remove a sufficient number of secure MAC addresses to drop below the maximum value.
restrict
—Drops packets with unknown source addresses until you remove a sufficient number of secure MAC addresses to drop below the maximum value and causes the SecurityViolation counter to increment.
shutdown
—Puts the interface into the error-disabled state immediately and sends an SNMP trap notification.

Just wanted to make sure anyone else using the notes as a reference didn't learn the wrong info.

Agreed 110%, great reference but I wouldn't want to "live" there! I'm not too flabbergasted with Lammel's full study guide but I liked those Fast Pass and even the new Exam review guide though it is still very dry! Best teacher is classroom Academy combined with ICND2 labs, imo. You have to develop a torrid love affair with Packet Tracer either way.

Oh this is great resources to me handle by myself for CCENT Theory but there is nor notes about Vlans and Basic configuration. But it's ok this is awesome..

sizeon

in ICND1 you don't need to know how to configure vlans. All you have to know is that VLANS are a separate broadcasr domain (separate network) and in-order for different VLANS to communicate with each other you need a router for that.

mohamedshajid

Absolutely bro, I just asked about Vlan because i'm going to take ICND1/ICND2 Composite exam so i should study all together, There is a much pressure but of course i just separated With out collide

Hey sizeon,

Great notes but I do have a question. I am using Todd Lammle's book also for studying. I need to ask: based solely on studying those notes, could you pass the test? I ask b/c I have notes very similar to yours and are very detailed. I have taken this test before and failed but I'm not sure if it's b/c I didn't study hard enough of if I didn't have adequate notes.

My notes are pretty much a summary of the chapters in the Todd Lammle book. That is what i used to pass the CCNA, BUT i highly recommend you do the labs in the book.

I liked Steve McQuerry's ICND2 book from the "Learning CCNA" series. I hate odom books and i hate lammel too except for first few chapters. It's (c) 2008 so it has almost all the info but its explained better and it sticks more (this is how I test how effective an author is by The Stickiness factor)

Mine are about the same. I have 40 pages worth of notes that I've taken. I'll start doing the labs b/c I def didn't do them the 1st time around. What'd you use for ICND2 studies?

sizeon

I used Todd lammle for both ICND 1&2
