When should I move on ...

Hi,
Please advise trying to study of ICND1 and got various material to do so. I am not progressing further and not moving from the basics (learning OSI layers binary to decimal/hex), I don`t know how much of this part I will need for the exam but its bugging me

Can anyone advise ??

You'll still need to know how to subnet fast. You won't need to worry about VLSM or supernetting.

You could pass without knowing how to type things in, but I'd recommand boson netsim, as it's enough for what you'll need at ICND1. $100.

CBT nuggets is great for ICND1.

Pickup a book from amazon.

Find packet tracer and download it. I suggest that you buy the Odom Library set 3rd edition since it has the pdf book of the hardcover books.

OSI layer and subnetting are very essential parts of ICND1 ... if you want to pass a cisco exam you should master both. specially subnetting is an issue that will not go away...

If you are not progressing further in those areas, it sounds like you need some live help. At least a video series or something. I think a lot of books try to over simplify binary conversion and subnetting. The best is to learn from a real person that already knows how to do it. Try to find a friend or coworker that can help you, or at least check out some videos on youtube.

What material are you using? books,vids?
Do you have packet tracer? this is a great help for ICND1 and 2.

Packet tracer is for cisco academy alumni / student only. Thread's author doesn't seem to have any goals with the usual cisco propaganda
