I have scheduled my ICND1 exam for April 24, 2010.
I am tempted to just go take the exam now to see where I am at (I used a discounted voucher).
I have a few years of hands on experience with Cisco 6509's, 2950s, etc, but not any routers.
Here is the lab that I have assembled:
Routers
1x 3620
1x 2650XM
2x 2621
Switches
3x 2950-12
1x 2950-24
WIC's
3x WIC-1T
1x WIC-2T
Network Modules
1x NM-16A
1x NM-2FE-2W
1x NM-4T
Cables
1x CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC
2x Smart Serial to DB60
3x DB60 to DB60
Study Materials
Cisco Press ICND1

OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□I think I have subnetting down for the most part.
I can solve almost all of the questions on subnettingquestions.com within 10 seconds.
These type usually take me a little more time:
How many subnets and hosts per subnet can you get from the network.... -

subnets = 2 ^ N
hosts = 2 ^ N - 2
memorize the powers of 2 all the way up the scale.ICND1 - Passed 25/01/10

Having just taken the CCNA exam, it's all over the place...know it well... -
OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□Can anyone recommend some labs I should go through before taking the exam?
So far I have done a few NAT and RIP v2 labs.
I have also played around with SDM.
I think I may move my test date up to this Saturday. -
OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□I am getting impatient so I re-scheduled the exam for this Saturday!

OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□Well, I passed the ICND1 today.
This was my first attempt at a Cisco exam. The only word I can use to describe it is bland. -

OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□How long does it usually take before you can use the Certification Tracking system?

There can be a slight backlog as they process the Friday and Saturday (and maybe even Sunday) exams into the tracking system. Best case it still shows up Monday (after 9am) -- otherwise look for it again Tuesday. But you can't complain to Cisco until after the 10 or so days (or whatever) they mention on the score report.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -
OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□Thanks!
I'm hoping my ICND2 exam is a little more hands-on and not as trivial as the ICND1. -
OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□I just received the Cisco 3550 I had purchased, or so I thought.
They sent me a worthless WS-C3524-PWR-XL-EN. -
Optionsxenodamus Member Posts: 758Listening to you is making me consider moving mine up as well, lol. The 30th seems like an eternity....CISSP | CCNA:R&S/Security | MCSA 2003 | A+ S+ | VCP6-DTM | CCA-V CCP-V

OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□I booked my ICND2 for April 24.
I think I should be able to go over everything that I would need to know within 10 days.
