The material is presented in a concise manner, focused on increasing your understanding of exam topics and preparing you for the numerous challenges the exams present.
Chapter-ending Exam Preparation Tasks sections help you drill on key concepts you must know thoroughly and help increase your speed in answering questions, a difficult hurdle many exam candidates face on the new exams. A Final Preparation chapter guides you through tools and resources to help you craft your final study plan.
Special troubleshooting sections help you master the complex scenarios you will face on the exam. The companion CD-ROM contains a powerful testing engine that allows you to focus on individual topic areas or take complete, timed exams. The assessment engine also tracks your performance and provides feedback on a chapter-by-chapter basis, presenting question-by-question remediation to the text.
The bonus DVD contains more than 60 minutes of personal video mentoring from the author focused mainly on bringing difficult subnetting concepts to life. From a thorough introduction to Cisco's basic operating system to making the transition to IPv6, Todd Lammle walks you through hundreds of commands with short, to-the-point explanations and plenty of figures and real-world examples.
This comprehensive study guide from leading Cisco authority Todd Lammle thoroughly prepares you for the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 1 exam and the start of a career, with pages of exam essentials, real-world scenarios, and hands-on exercises. Topics include the operation of data networks, how to implement both switched and routed networks, and much more.
This fully updated edition presents complete reviews and a more challenging and realistic exam preparation experience. Senior instructor and best-selling author Wendell Odom shares preparation hints and test-taking tips, helping you identify areas of weakness and improve both your conceptual knowledge and hands-on skills. The material is presented in a concise manner, focused on increasing your understanding of exam topics and preparing you for the numerous challenges the exams present.
Books in this series provide officially developed self-study solutions to help networking professionals understand technology implementations and prepare for the Cisco Career Certifications examinations.
This book provides you with the knowledge needed to configure Cisco switches and routers to operate in corporate internetworks. By reading this book, you will gain a thorough understanding of concepts and configuration procedures required to build a multiswitch, multirouter, and multigroup internetwork that uses LAN and WAN interfaces for the most commonly used routing and routed protocols.
Many notes, tips, and cautions are also spread throughout the book. Chapter-ending review questions illustrate and help solidify the concepts presented in the book. I like your blog post.
Keep on writing this type of great stuff. I'll make sure to follow up on your blog in the future. The exams increase the focus on proving the test taker's skills as compared with just testing knowledge. The two-exam path gives people with less experience a chance to study for a smaller set of topics at one time.
The one-exam option provides a more cost-effective certification path for those who want to prepare for all the topics at once. Although the two-exam option is useful for some certification candidates, Cisco designed the ICND1 exam with a much more important goal in mind.
The CCNA certification grew to the point that it tested knowledge and skills beyond what an entry-level network technician would need. Cisco needed a certification that better reflected the skills required for entry-level networking jobs. And so that you can prove that you have the skills required for those entry-level jobs, Cisco created a new certification, CCENT.
Note that there is no separate certification for passing the ICND2 exam. Therefore, ICND2 must then cover subnetting to some degree. Although the popularity of the CCENT certification cannot be measured until a few years have passed, certainly the Cisco CCNA is the most popular entry-level networking certification program.
A CCNA certification proves that you have a firm foundation in the most important components of the Cisco product line—routers and switches.
It also proves that you have broad knowledge of protocols and networking technologies. When you get to the testing center and check in, the proctor gives you some general instructions and then takes you into a quiet room containing a PC. When you're at the PC, you have a few things to do before the timer starts on your exam. For instance, you can take a sample quiz to get accustomed to the PC and the testing engine. Anyone who has user-level skills in getting around a PC should have no problems with the testing environment.
Additionally, Chapter 18, "Final Preparation," points to a Cisco website where you can see a demo of Cisco's actual test engine. When you start the exam, you are asked a series of questions. You answer them and then move on to the next question. The exam engine does not let you go back and change your answer. Yes, it's true. When you move on to the next question, that's it for the preceding question.
The first three types of questions are relatively common in many testing environments. The multiple-choice format simply requires that you point and click a circle beside the correct answer s. Cisco traditionally tells you how many answers you need to choose, and the testing software prevents you from choosing too many. Testlets are questions with one general scenario and several multiple-choice questions about the overall scenario.
Drag-and-drop questions require you to click and hold, move a button or icon to another area, and release the mouse button to place the object somewhere else—typically in a list. For some questions, to get the question correct, you might need to put a list of five things in the proper order.
The last two types of questions use a network simulator to ask questions. Interestingly, the two types actually allow Cisco to assess two very different skills. First, sim questions generally describe a problem, and your task is to configure one or more routers and switches to fix it.
