Re: Passed Switching today -- 3 Down, 1 to Go! [7:10108]

2001-06-27 Thread Eric F. Varner

Congrats!!!

I just signed up to this list and have started down the path for my CCNP and
have my switching test scheduled in 2 weeks. Thanks for the info down below
concerning what types of questions they are going to ask on the exam. Right
now I am using the Exam Cram book + OJT in our lab. Will this be enough to
pass? (I know it's hard to say... but just wondering if the Exam Cram covers
enough to pass)

Thanks!!!

Re: RouterSim 3.0 [7:11342]

2001-07-08 Thread Eric F. Varner

I used the RouterSim 2.0. You can install it on different machines...but in
order to use it on the other machine you have to remove the license and
install it on the other. I did this..but with the 2.0 version is screwed me
outright. What I mean is that I removed the license off of my laptop and
tried to install it on my desktop system. It wouldn't install.. I then tried
to reinstall it back on my laptop..nope! I tried reinstalling the entire
program..NOPE! It wouldn't work at all now. I tried customer service... no
help! I was out the money I paid for it. I hope 3.0 is much better in that
regard.
Bottom line: You can install the program on multiple systems and use the
single license when you want to enable it on that particular system.

Re: Can anyone help an aspiring CCNP? [7:11920]

2001-07-11 Thread Eric F. Varner

IMO it was tougher than the CCNA test. Become one with CGMP and trunking.  I
used the Exam Cram and Cisco Press (Switching). I also used Keystones Video
CD's and practice exam questions. (BTW I have this kit for sale on e-bay) I
felt like I could have done a lot better with more studying. But, I felt
like I was learning as I was going through the material instead of
memorizing for a test. Some of the test questions are poorly written.
Study time: 1 month
Score: 825
Knowledge gained: priceless  :)))
