RE: routing exam [7:5453]

2001-05-22 Thread John Andrews

That's what I wanted to know.  Somehow or other, I enjoy the dryness of
cisco
press materials.  Much better than others I have looked at. I like the
detail.
 I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks again,
John

routing exam [7:5453]

2001-05-22 Thread John Andrews

How good is the routing book isbn# 1-58720-20-001-5 by Clare Gough?  I have 
just purchased this book for preparation for the 503 test.


Do I need more than this or is this an adequate preparation for this test?


Comments?

John

Have a great day!

b**** tests [7:5194]

2001-05-20 Thread John Andrews

First of all:

I worded the subject space that way because I was unsure if the word B
is
banned here or not, so that was to be on the safe side so this would go 
through to the group.

My question:

Are the above tests for switching close to the exam type questions that
appear
on the prometric. I have both switching exams and have been using them for 
practice examinations.

Comments appreciated..

John Andrews

Have a great day!

RE: Passed BCMSN [7:4546]

2001-05-19 Thread John Andrews

I guess I will be first.  I am also memorizing and studying in hopes of 
passing my switching exam with no experience.  I currently work for a very 
small company with ten 95 computers and 15 or so unix machines on a unix 
server.  My main job is to unsnag people who lock their computers up and to 
print reports.  But, I am studying for my tests.  Hopefully one day, when I 
finish I can gain some real networking experience.  In the meantime, I am 
learning the unix language and have learned great self restraint of the 
defined art of self control when wanting to strangle users.  You just keep 
plugging away, but, noone I don't think would ever say that practical 
networking experience is not a valuable asset to have..it's just that some
of
us don't have a choice.  But you don't quit trying.

And that's my two cents:

Wow, I can't believe you guys are really having this conversation

Knowledge is absolutely useless unless it is shared.  Creation, invention, 
imagination all originate from knowledge.  Questioning is the beginning of 
anything and everything.

No questions are stupid.  They are just the keys to a puzzle.

CCNP ?? [7:4789]

2001-05-16 Thread John Andrews

I have a question or two.  I am in the near future planning on taking the
CCNP
switching exam.  My question is this?

How through is the test compared to the sybex book?  Will that, plus the
boson
tests prepare me adequately enough to pass the test and in addition to the 
edge tests that are included with the book?  Also, what are the main areas 
covered?  I am NOT asking for specific questionsbut generalities only. 
Something like VLANS were a large portion of the CCNA exam.  I am suspecting 
that rp's, switch types, commands, pim sparse and dense modes are the main 
portions.  Or at least this is what I am getting out of the sybex book.  Am
I
seeing this wrong or am I on the right track?

Thanks,
J
(the one who will be glad when this test is done)

Have a great day!
John A

Switching Exam 504 [7:2513]

2001-04-29 Thread John Andrews

Hello,

I am getting ready to test on this exam in a couple of weeks.  Would someone 
please tell me or give me some information please.

Right now to prepare, I am using the Boson switching tests and the Sybex
book.
 I have also read the CLSC book by Cisco Press.  I know it is outdated, but
it
still have alot of very very good info.

Will this be enough in anyones opinion?

Thanks,
