RE: CCNA Pass Mark

2001-03-20 Thread Brad Shifflett

I can verify the same, 849 to pass, 65 questions, I believe the time is 90
minutes. Tough exam, but passed with a 881.

849 to pass is correct. I took the test a little over a week ago and 849 is
passing according to the Score Report that prints out.

RE: Cisco Certs Becoming Paper CCXX

2001-03-20 Thread Brad Shifflett

My thought is if you can get all the way through the CCIE Lab and all, you
are determined to do the job. How many CCIE's are out there? 8000+-? I would
say from the low numbers, this exam is not easy, I have been in the field
for 7 years and just started to get my Cisco certification. I feel if I
would have started the Cisco stuff years ago, I would have not made it. The
material now is still pretty difficult to understand on some days. But, I
think the difference is, I am trying to understand it and learn it, not just
get by. I want to know the stuff inside and out. I am far from that, I know
alot of people that can take the exam, cram all week, and pass. But when it
comes to real world experience, it is over for them. Lets just weed out the
bad and let them fall on there faces. I like to help people, but if I know
this person is only a paper CXXX then I am not going to help them, it is up
to us real engineers to put these paper guys in there place, let them fall
down and you come up behind them and clean up the mess and save the day!
Happy testing!

Hi,

My two bobs worth,

Any qualification is as good as the paper it is written on.  In my
experience someone with an open mind, willing to learn, has acquired
knowledge, shares knowledge and works smart in an effort to acheive
excellence is what really counts.

The paper does indicate the person has at least seen the words and knows the
lingo, probably the acromymns and often has some understanding.  I have seen
many a good technical person, well qualified, knowledgable and understanding
come copletely unglued when put in a situation the person was not familiar
with.  The mark of the real expert is 'the real expert will seek, ask and
find' the details.  He knows how to extract the details.  Paper
qualifications particularly at a degree level indicates the person can
usually do this.

I understand the pride of having a bunch of letters after your name.
Personally I don't use them although I do have a copy of some of the certs I
have gained on my wall.  These are for my pride not to show others.

I have lost the pride in my qualifications because some have them and do not
share, care or attempt to understand.

Then that is even better. The less there are, the more prestigous the
certification I think it is. I would say some that do pass probably are just
naturally able to do the work with no problem, some are just book smart and
have great memorization skills, but doesn't this really require a deep
knowledge to pass beyond what alot of us can even comprehend right now? I
just started looking at this myself. We just got one guy at our company
passed the lab and one pther passed the written. I can say these 2 are very
smart and bright individuals.

Actually, you are way too high on your estimate of CCIE's.  As of February
28th 2001 there are 5432 worldwide, 2476 are in the US.  A large number of
those work directly for Cisco.

The certification has been around since 1994 and the first CCIE was #1024

Book errors

2001-03-21 Thread Brad Shifflett

Has anyone noticed alot of errors in the Osbourne BSCN study guide? I seem
to find myself proofreading this book more than studying it. Questions with
the wrong answers and the same question twice with 2 different answers: What
are the 3 layers of a hierarchical network: my answer Core, Access and
Distribution, book answer, Core and Distribution only for 1 question and
later on the same question again and they say the answer is Core, Access and
Distribution. It really frustrates me to rely on study materials if I cannot
rely on the answers being right and having to check everything over. Some
diagrams are missing IP adddresses and also in the answers they are putting
in IP addresses that are not even on the diagram. Any recommendations as to
a better book to get? Should I just go with the Cisco Press books? Thanks.

Vlan Question

2001-03-22 Thread Brad Shifflett

Scenario:
Got a client who has a person on the network that does not want to
be on the network but wants access to the server. My thought was to install
a switch, setup to Vlans, one for all the users (10 or so) and the second
Vlan for the 1 user by himself. This way no one can get to his machine, then
setup an access list to permit his Vlan to access the first Vlan and deny
all the other users to his Vlan. Does this sound right? Anything I am
missing? Seeing if I understand Vlans correctly or not.

The user is a very high political figure who is real cautious about security
and paranoid. I like the idea of a seperate nic in the server and two
subnets. The cost of switches could be a deciding factor. Thanks for the
input guys!

but if the server isn't on the same VLAN, how do they get to it?  How does
it get to them?

Routing between VLANs, and VLAN-aware NICs, are pretty much the
only alternatives.  VLANs were introduced to isolate groups, but there's
nothing magical about them.

If there is sensitive data around, you also want host-level security.

Heh, I bet most of us turn dns look-ups off when we
are on routers :)  Anyway, the command is 'ip
domain-lookup'  It should be on by default.  When you
set up the router as a firewall you need to allow tcp
port 43 for DNS to come into your private network
(please correct me if I am wrong on this).  I hope
that answers your questions.
