That sounds about right. Did you do any labbing with Packet Tracer, GNS3 or physical hardware? Also, how did you do on Odom's end of chapter questions?

+1. If setting up networks in PT ,GNS3 and real hardware is second nature to you, then I say you're all set.

Just remember to jot down the subnetting table from /16 - /32 and every little tidbit of info in your head right before you actually begin your exam so that you're not wasting precious time trying to figure out something.

if you jot down the table you should be able to do the subnetting questions in under 15 seconds.... my first CCNA (back when they only had 1 test) a little over half the questions were subenetting based and if I didn't have the chart copied down I would have been SOL...

I did some PT exercises with "Ripv2, console & vty passwords, static route, NAT & PAT, banner ... etc "
Now Im planning to do 1 PT exercise per day untill december 28th.

Sounds like a good plan! Make sure you get back to us and let us all know how you did on the exam.

I'm taking mine in early January so hopefully I'll pass as well!

I took them both (ICND1 & ICND2) and passed them a few weeks back. For the ICND1/CCENT, it sounds like you are about ready to take now. For ICND2 you will probably need another month of study. My ICND2 test was at least 3 times harder than ICDN1.

It sounds like you have a solid plan for the ICND1, as those topics are covered heavily. You must know subnetting inside and out, and especially know how packets/frames traverse networks. The basic TCP/IP Nugget videos are crucial (Videos 2-5). Keep studying and you'll do well!
