Passed the ICND2 this morning with a 958/1000. And yes the ICND2 is no joke! How2pass does an excellent job in getting you ready for the exam. Yes the questions are similar to how2pass but NO they are not the same like a braindump. As everyone before me has said, you must KNOW the content to pass the exam. How2pass does awesome job in preparing you to take a Cisco exam and taking the questions over and over will help you to keep your emotions in check while sitting the exam.
My prep is as follows:

1) Todd Lammle CCENT Sybex
2) CCENT for Dummies
3) Todd Lammle CCNA Sybex ver 6
4) Cisco Press ICND1 and ICND2, Cant stand the books but Wendel Odoms subnetting with the magic number is money!
5) Todd Lammle Video series, Great for review after you read his book.
6) CBT Nuggets CCENT/CCNA. Jeremy Cioara taught me every thing I know.
7) How2pass to polish it all off.

Between all the videos and book work, I think Im around 300 hours of Prep. Im currently working as a Network Admin and I dont have the Liberty of being a Paper CCNA tech. You just cant fake it here on the job site. Im currently watching the CCNA for the Real World by CBT nuggets and its looking like it might be a bust after watching the first 4 Videos. We will see. I will be starting CCNP Switch in a few weeks and look forward to meeting my wife and kids again. Good Luck for those of you who are getting ready to certify.

Hi All,

Just wanted to share my success!

I know the basic networking stuff to comfortably set up a home network but needed something under my belt to get me some more cash in a better job more specifically focused in networking. Had lots of personal stuff going on at home (death in family and trouble with the missus) which didn't help at all. Took some time off work and knuckled down.

My method:
-Watched only CBT Nuggets on ICND1 in 2 weeks solid, taking notes and working out a fast subnetting method.
-Gave up gaming and drinking over xmas/nye
-Signed up to How2Pass, did a few of the separate topic sections but concentrated on the final exam in test conditions for 1 week as exam was fast approaching.
-Done the final mock on 60 questions setting, approx 15-20 time, but never actually passing :/ always hit just under the H2P pass rate.
-Went into the exam feeling pretty ok as I knew the mock did stretch me even though I never passed.
-Didn't bother with the prep time in the exam, used that to draw up binary charts etc.
-Done the exam with 30 mins to spare and I passed! 862 points!

Now on to ICND2.

Hi All,

I wish to thanks How2Pass for helping me with my CCNA studies. I bought their materials and studied them for about a month and a half, I took the exam and after 40 minutes I was ready. Thanks again and I really recommend How2Pass for anyone who wish to study and also understand any CISCO course.

Passed ROUTE Friday 20th  I got above a 906.  There were 4 simulations, 2 drag-n-drops, 0 testlets.  labs were  OSPF config,  OSPF virtual-links, OSPF/EIGRP redistribution, and the Policy based routing

note : this question was there.

Which two reductions are the correct reductions of the IPv6 address

2001:0d02:0000:0000:0014:0000:0000:0095? (Choose two)
A. 2001:0d02:::0014:::0095
B. 2001:d02::14::95
C. 2001:d02:0:0:14::95
D. 2001:d02::14:0:0:95

Ans C D

Passed ROUTE today!  I got above a 900.  There were 4 simulations, 2 drag-n-drops, 0 testlets.  Simulations were  OSPF config,  OSPF virtual-links, OSPF/EIGRP redistribution, and the Policy based routing simulation.

i have a question on the eigrp variance question (it's easy to find the question- just go to the eigrp section and skim through the questions until you see one that has answers:
-3
-4
-1
-2
-5

the lowest cost path is 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
multiply that by variance 2 equals 60

i see four routes that have a variance of 60 or less

AFGH
ADEBCH

hi- there is something about lab 6 i don't understand.

the requirement says:


all other traffic should go through EoMPLS link.

but in the explanation of the config. at the end it says:

traffic that does not match any of the given match conditions... is routed normally through destination based routing.

it seems like this means the remaining traffic could go through either mpls or frame relay.

I want to thanks how2pass for making my CCNA 640-802 exam easy. Questions were quite similar and these 2 months
of preparing for test were quite well spent. I would strong recomend this site for my friends

I believe the answer to this should be "The wildcard masks for 10.x.x.x networks are incorrect". 

I think this because the wildcard masks are 255.255.255.255, which means it only includes interfaces with address that matches 10.0.0.0 EXACTLY.  Also, I don't see enough information in the topology to determine if the areas are configured incorrectly or not.

Thanks,
Brad

In both questions listed above, the crypto map matches interesting traffic on access-list 102. Access-list 102 matches GRE, ISAKMP and ESP traffic.

Now I can understand matching GRE so that the GRE traffic is punted through IPSEC, but surely the the ISAKMP and ESP matches shouldn't be in here?
