I passed the ICND 1 today ;D with a 926. That's better than I thought I was doing while taking the test.

Now I'm certified. I made the mistake of taking the ICND 2 (passed with 972) first because I thought that's all I had to do to recertify. But my certification was expired so I had to do the whole test again.

I had one full sim and about 5 simlets with multiple questions. I had quite a few of drag and drop. I thought the practice questions on this site for $39 were well worth the money and prepared me quite well for both halves of the test. THANK YOU HOW2PASS!!!!

I think I'll move onto CCNA Voice since I'm in the Telecommunications industry.

I got a 678 out of 825.  How long should I wait to take it again?  I was thinking about a month.  When I take it again do I get the same questions or similar?  I will try again it wasnt as bad as I thought how2pass does help.  If anyone can give me any tips that would be helpful.

Folks,

Hope someone can answer this question for me.

I currently have a CCNA which runs out in mid June.

I also have the BSCI which runs out in mid June.  I did the BSCI to re-certify my CCNA.

My question is if I complete the BCMSN examine in the next couple of months will it re-certify my my BSCI as well as my CCNA.

Cheers

Kevin

Hi Forum Admin

Just doing sims and I cannot get a ping to 192.18.1.1 to respond in this sim even though all appears OK?

could someone make me clear with this plz..
Slot time is the time for a signal to reach the farthest end and get a jam signal from there back .. for traditional 10mbps ethernet using coax cable max cable lebgth was 500m..so using max 4 repeaters total network length was 2500m..so two times it is 5000m..and with 2*10^8 as the propagation delay..
it would take 25microsec..but considering 3microsec delay/repeater it would be 4 repeaters*3microsec *2(for both direction) ie another 24microsec..total of approx 50 microsec..during which our station can transmit 500 bits..rounded off to nearest power of two..that would be 512 bits..
Now if that was the correct or approx correct calculation for 10mbps..
Consider this for std ethernet 100mbps..
100mbps uses utp cables..whose max length is about 100m..so using 4 repeaters thats 500 m..giving a total of 1000m both way..which takes 5microsec..using same signal speed..and during this time our station can send 500 bits again..so approx 512 bits.. so that makes the slot time in both the same .. but why don't we consider repeater delay here ?? or am i getting it wrong..if so plz correct me .. thanks in advance ..

needed help with this question ..hope someone would help ..
full-duplex transmission requires point-to-point link ,like we get by using switches.. but bridge ,which is quite similar to switches (except a few diff),usually connects two network segments ,which makes it a multi-point link.. but if a two-port bridge is used to connect single node on each port..Can it be used for full duplex communication ?? plz help..thanks in advance.

Hi people,

I have a question on Ext-ACL. Please help..

Users in IT Dept network (192.168.3.0) should not be able to ping or access KL Dept network (192.168.3.0) and vice versa.
Both IT Dept and KL Dept should be able to access the internet.

So my acl command is:
deny ip 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.255 host 192.168.3.0 eq icmp
deny ip 192.168.5.0 0.0.0.255 host 192.168.5.0 eq icmp
permit any any

Is my command correct?
A friend of time told me that, my command will block the respective network from accessing the internet and everything else as well?
Is it true?

Please help people! Urgent! Thanks!!! 

I had this doubt while studying about bridges and switches..Hope someone would help me.
A bridge helps divide the collision domain by dividing an otherwise single network into two or more network segments,so that each network segment acts as a separate collision domain.If two or more devices from different segments intend to send data to nodes which are in the same segment ,does that result in a collision at the receiver segment ??
and similarly I read that there's no collision in a full-duplex switched system,so there's no need for collision handling techniques.. What if two or more nodes in such a system,send data to a same node..does that result in a collision at the receiver side ??
Hope to get help from someone..thanks in advance.

I am completing Exploration by Cisco Network Academy.
But I am not sure to take CCNA or ICND1/ICND2.

My trouble to make decision is topics in Exploration are not structured to match the syllabus of ICND1/2
I have to pick and match topics to ICND1/2.
However, taking single exam CCNA seems to have a lot to remember, the risk is higher on one go.

Can some share some thoughts, CCNA or ICND1/2 easier to pass?

Each time you pass a Professional level exam, your active CCNA certification automatically recertifies for an additional 3 years period.

The Professional level exams (BSCI, BCMSN, Composite, etc) have a validity period of 3 years. So to earn your CCNP, you must complete all required CCNP exams within 3 years of taking your first CCNP exam.

Once you complete all required CCNP exams (within 3 years), your CCNP status will be active for 3 years beginning with the last test you took.
