Taking QoS tomorrow.

NetworkVeteran

We will see whose QoS'ing reigns supreme!

I've read the QoS Certification Guide minus the Catalyst chapter, watched the INE videos, and read bits of end-to-end QoS. I feel better prepared than for most exams. But.. I don't know.. so many tools.. so many chapters.. and so new for me. I hope all will be well.

I'd wish you luck but I know you won't need it. You're going to knock it out of the park

Agreed, you won't need it - But I wish you luck

show em what you got =]

Another one bites the dust.

Booo yahhh...let me be the first to tip my hat and offer congrats!

NetworkVeteran

Thanks, vinbuck.

Score: 881
Min Passing Score: 790

86% - IP Qos Fundamentals
100% - IP QoS Components
90% - Modular QoS CLI and Auto-QoS
89% - Classification & Marking
75% - Congestion Management Methods
64% - Congestion Avoidance Methods
86% - Traffic Policing & Shaping
100% - Link Efficiency Mechanisms
50% - QoS Best Practices

I only skimmed Cisco Best Practices and 2950 Congestion Management so I'm not surprised I lost points there. A solid performance elsewhere, except for WRED (review time!).

I thought the test was straight-forward, up-to-date, and fair. I caught and reported three errors, but those did not affect which answers were right or wrong.

Nice work. Hopefully I can finish my CCIP as well before the deadline.

Congrats. I knew you'd pass.

congrats dude!

In regards to the material, does it go into more than the average engineer to know or is it a must have for any engineer?

Im very weak at QoS and are looking to improve. People have mentioned that QoS in the CCIE R&S is only skimmed in comparison to this so im not sure which would be more appropriate for me. i rarely work with QoS but feel i should gain a solid understanding of it, however, the QoS exam maybe overkill for my situation.

I wouldn't say the material covered by the exam is essential for an average engineer. Then again, one reason to earn certifications, is to outperform the average engineer! I think the sections on classification, marking, and the interaction between various system queues and default queuing methods are the easiest to put into practice--even if your role doesn't include implementing fancy queuing. I've certainly found ways to apply that knowledge. I also like that I can talk intelligently about single-rate, three-color policers and know when/why shaping would be better.

For me, it was an objective, well-aligned milestone between CCNP and CCIE.
