ICND1 ( 640-822) Booked for 28th June

dazl1212dazl1212 Member Posts: 377
in CCNA & CCENT
Passed the N+ about a month ago with a decent score so this seems like the next logical step. I am halfway through the CCENT for dummies book. Then intend to read through the relevant parts of Lammles CCNA 7th edition book. Plus labbing labbing labbing on Packet Tracer and subnetting practicing, I'm down to about 60 seconds on the Cisco learning network subnetting quiz. I have read through the Dummies book around a year ago and did a fair amount of labbing. So hopefully I have plenty of time if I get my head down icon_study.gif

    The 640 series expires in September. You should cancel the 640-822 and take the new 100 series. Odom already has a book out for it.

    I already have a bit of material for the 640 series. I'm hoping i have enough time to get both done. If not I will just take the 100 series.
    I would rather not have to rely on Odoms book as I find his style of writing hard to read

    How good a gauge is subnettingquestions.com and the "CCNA subnet quiz" on here on ready my subnetting is up to par for the ICND1?

    Both are great practice for the exam.

    I'm also a fan of Todd Lammle's CCNA study guide book I find it more enjoyable and easier to read. I found subnettingquestions.com to be a good source for practice in addition to practice tests from the book.

    Thank you icon_thumright.gif
    I did some labbing yesterday and playing about with the help commands, watching a pdu go between to routers and being successful was ace icon_cheers.gif
    According to the official subnetting quiz I am averaging around 60 seconds although I keep getting distracted icon_rolleyes.gif
    I asked this question in the subnetting thread if anyone can answer that would be great;

    Say you have a 192.168.1.0 network 255.255.255.192 and you subnet it could you not use say 192.168.1.16 as the network address?
    I'm 99% sure its a no but I just want to double check.
    It is the only thing I am not sure of.

    Isn't the block size 64? So the network add is .0 and .64, the usable hosts are .1-.62

    Yes it is. My question is can you only use say 0, 64, 128, 192 as the network address.
    I'm pretty sure you can. You couldnt use say 17 - 80 as the address range?

    /26 = block size of 64

    0 - 63
    64 - 127
    128 - 191
    192 - 255

    Network Addresses being 0, 64, 128, 192 so you are correct! Broadcasts being 63, 127, 191, 255

    You will get to the point where you see 255.255.255.192 and immediately know it's a /26 and block size of 64. The next thing will be to identify the difference between 255.255.255.192 and 255.255.192.0

    I always liked to write down from /30 to /16 on a paper and stick it up where it can be referenced. It definitely will speed things up especially in testing scenarios.

    /30 255.255.255.252 4 addresses
    /29 255.255.255.248 8 addresses
    /28 255.255.255.240 16 addresses
    /27 255.255.255.224 32 addresses
    /26 255.255.255.192 64 addresses


    Something like that posted up will really help you with memorization.

    This is an excellent post. I have started writing;
    128/64/32/16/8/4/2/1
    and 1/2/4/8/16/32..... and so on to help me with the powers of 2.
    I might do that in the exam before it starts if you are allowed.
    I knew it was but I sometimes have a habit of second guessing myself

    Exactly, write it down during the tutorials. I have done that several times with no issues. I say do it so you don't have to worry about second guessing yourself in a testing situation.

    You have plenty of time to write down some notes before the exam on the sheets they provide you. The amount of info I put into my subnetting reference tables is ridiculous, but allows me to get the info I need for any subnetting question very quickly without having to worry about making an error in my head :)

    I also write down common ports and (for the ICND2) am planning to write various things like acl/nat statement syntax, etc just so I don't accidentally get any of that confused for some reason.

    Great stuff. I saw a subnet table a while ago someone posted on here actually. Might see if I can find it.

    Could you possibly tell us exactly what you wrote? :)

    Didn't think it was worth doing another thread for it...
    I was doing a lab in Packet tracer and it required me to put in a enable password and an enable secret.
    I put the pass as mypass and the secret as mysecret.
    Tried to log in with the secret and it failed. Tried multiple times and I couldn't log in.
    Tried the mypass even though it shouldn't work and it didn't. Thinking I may have put the secret in wrong I reset the router and did it again and it still didn't work.
    Is it a fault with PT? I spent ages messing about in PT last night for various reasons and didn't get much actual studying done. May avoid PT for the rest of today, things too addictive

    Here's a little table I wrote up I have been using for subnetting practice and it helps.
    128/64 /32 /16 /8 /4/ 2 / 1
    128/192/224/240/248/252/254
    11111111-8-11111111-16-1111111-24-1111111-32
    1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128 etc, etc

    Kind of panicking a little now as I've had to lab along with the book my studies have slowed a hell of a lot now.
    I cant read a load of commands without doing them as it doesn't sink in.
    I really don't want to mix and match exams if possible

    Sorry for multiple posting but I didnt think it was worthy of a new thread
    I am just over half way through the CCENT for Dummies book.
    I took the Pearson exam that comes with odoms book and got 700.
    Am I on track for the exam?

    6-20 for me. I'm doing the 100 series. It should be interesting. I'm still wondering if I should have studied for the 640 series.

    What are the differences between the series? Say I get 640-802, does that mean that after it's retired I won't be able to get CCNA:flavors without completing CCENT first?

    I think they basically took some subjects from the ICND2 and put them in the ICND1.
    I'm going to have to mix and match it isnt ideal but its still a CCNA
