Passed Last week 640-802

[smilee]

I Passed the 640-802 exam last week on my first attempt, scored 1000.

I used the Wendell Odom books, along with a lab I put together at home and of course H2P.

The home lab I used consists of

2 X 2610
1 X 2520
1 X 2521
3 X 2900
2 X 2950

I also have 2 X Pix 501's but these are not needed for the exam.

One thing i found exceptionally useful was to use my home lab and design differing networks using EIGRP, OSPF or RIP with redundant links and VLANS, connected to the internet through my home broadband connection.

H2P was also an invaluable tool, helping asses my weaknesses in order to improve on them.

The exam was quite difficult and I started to stress a little when I had 2 simulations in succession, but I found it useful to stop for 30 seconds, take a couple of breaths, then carry on.

Good luck to everyone working on their CCNA.

Al.

congratulations!
I am preparing for the CCNA 640-802 Exam too, but what a pity is that I do not have the environment of practice as you have.

Hi Smilee

I just acquired my CCNA certification and I'm in the process of working towards CCSP (Cisco Certified Security Professional) a working lab would be a great tool for me.  Question where did you get all the routers that you used to setup your lab?  Any help here would be
greatly appreciated.
