Hi everybody

I got my CCNA certification last week after several months' hard study.  The problem facing me now is that I'm not really sure where to go next.  I have absolutely no IT experience -- I only decided to become CCNA-certified because a friend told me that it would get me a decent salary.  I've been unemployed for many years.  What do people think I ought to do?  Should I learn more about Windows, Linux, Unix, etc., or go for CCNP?  Would employers be likely to hire somebody solely on the basis of the applicant's certification?

These are sincere questions, and I appreciate any and all sincere answers.  Thank you.

The answer to this question claims that traffic from the Internet to the data center is load balanced across 3 paths, but I think the correct answer is 4 paths.

It's true that Router A load balances across its 3 links, but the question states that all routers have the variance configured. Therefore, Router B will load balance across two of its links, making a fourth path.

I set this up in GNS3 with the ratios of the metrics for the various links exactly the same as presented in the question. I checked the routing table on A, and sure enough, it had 3 entries for the "data center" (loopback) connected to router H: through B, D, and F. Router B had two routes to the data center: through C and E.

Then I set up Wireshark on Router E on the links to Routers B, D, and F, as well as on Router C on the link facing router B. Finally, I sent 90 icmp packets from Router A to the "data center," and the results were as I predicted:

A->D->E->H: 40 packets
A->F->E->H: 30 packets
A->B->E->H: 12 packets
A->B->C->H: 8 packets

I will grant that the question states that the K-values are set to their default, while I set them to only compute delay on all routers. However, I can't conceive of any way that would contaminate the results.

Just took ICND1 and got a 95 (950). When i signed up for how2pass I thought it would take about a month and a half of study to be ready for the test. It only took about 3 weeks! I Defiantly recommend this site.

Has anyone recently taken the ICND1 exam?
This site appears to have questions not related to the material covered in CCNA1/CCNA2 courses.
It seems to have questions from a general CCNA Exam(CCNA1,CCNA2,CCNA3,CCNA4 couses),
not the specific material from CCNA1/CCNA2.

Does that make sense?
I want to practice JUST questions for ICND1.

Also, if anyone has taken the ICND1 Exam lately, how accurate are the practice questions
from the section labeled " Recently Added / Modified "

Thanks!

Good morning,

I was hoping you could clarify the terms around affiliate commission. If a company sets itself up as an affiliate and employees of that company make purchases using the affiliate link, would commission still be paid?

I look forward to receiving your response.

Kind regards,

Hello
I am looking for a way to study the CCIE Written exam test questions via a web page like how2pass uses for CCNP. Who has found a site that has these questions with a web ui, a way to login via a web portal to review the questions?
Thanks!
Matt

Just wanted to give a heads up to takers. I got the access list sim and the EIGRP sim. They where very simular to the practice ones on How 2 Pass. 3 Months of study got me a 876 

Thanks for good help. Would not have made it without H2P. I was really psyched up, to get some sims's, and say to myself before the test, "bring it on".  To my dissapointing, i did not get any SIM's, just simlets.

Stydy aids, Chris Bryant, some IPV6 on the internet, and my home lab.

Passed ICND1 a couple weeks ago at 950, then ICND2 a couple days ago at 944.

Here are 2 things that I did that helped me pass these tests:
1) Make sure you read every word of each answer explanations after doing each HOW2PASS practice question. They are well written, and explain concepts very clearly. Don't rely on rote memorization of the answers.

2) Spend a lot of time on the SIMs and Hands-on-Lab 7 and 8. I am glad I did Hands-on-Lab 7 (NAT) because that alone prepared me to answer a number of NAT questions on the actual test.

Good luck!

I sat for this exam on Friday May 17th. I studied for four months, using this site, CBT's and my basement lab with 5 2600's and 2 3500XL switches plus a 2500 mgmt server. (Cntrl+Shft+6-X in my sleep)

I scored a 988/1000.

I was given 6 labs/simulations included in 52 overall questions. I finished with just a couple minutes on the clock.

I waited 6 months between the CCNA and this test (2 year old in the house and a full time job). I won't make that mistake again. "Back to the lab?" As my wife would say!

Thanks H2P
