Thanks to everyone in the group... I passed CID this morning which completes
the CCDP track.
I completed the test in one hour.... They provide two hours to obtain a
minimum 65% on 100 questions.
To study, I used only the Cisco Press Books "Cisco Internetwork Design",
and followed this up with "Advanced Network Design". I also used Cisco's
Self Paced Training "SNA/IP Solutions for Systems Engineers". CCO was
invaluable as I also read through the document "ATM Network Design" and
reviewed the overviews and specs of various ATM products since the Cisco
Press books leave much of this information out.
As many have stated on the list, the majority of the test centers around
Network/Protocol/WAN design. The test objectives published by Cisco are an
accurate representation of what is on the test.
This test was "easier" than DCN as I didn't have to worry about case
studies, however there wasn't as much networking theory, but much more info
to recall. If you didn't read it... or don't know it... you most likely wont
get the correct answer.
General test taking... trying to eliminate obvious wrong answers wont help
much since most of the statements or potential answers are correct, but may
not relate to the question. For example... a question may be related to the
distribution layer.... but makes accurate statements about all three
layers... end result... you have to know which one fits into each layer.
Now its off to CCIE
Again... thanks for everyone's help.
