Re: HELP !! CCIE 2B or NOT? [7:36542]
I agree - do the CCNPget your MBA. There is a glut of Cisco people at the moment - no matter what country your are in. The MBA would probably be a better choice in the long term - anyways, once you attain your CCNP level (or CCIP) and you keep your skills current by practicing regularly you should still be OK for the CCIE further down the track.

My suggestion is to get your DP and NP and see if you like it, if you have time. Then you can make a more educated decision. Certainly, if you have access to most/all of the routers and switches that are in the CCIE lab page exam, then it would be good to take advantage of your situation.

[7:34923] Hi All, I took the Cisco PIX CSPFA exam yesterday and I was suprised to find out that my score is 970/1000. I've never worked with any type of firewalls let alone PIX Firewall. I read the CSPFA book and borrowed the materials from a friend of mine who went to global knowledge training a few weeks earlier. I am very disappointed with the exam. I don't think anyone like myself should be able to pass the exam that easily. I thought yesterday's test score was a fluke so this morning I went and took the MCNS exam and I got a score of 960/1000. I was completely shocked. A few hours, I decide to sign up for the CCIE written exam. Amazingly I passed with a score of 92/100 That is unbelievable. To pass the exam for someone like myself really de-value the prestige of Cisco Certification by some bookworms like me. Cisco, after all, should make the exam a lot harder than the way it is now.

Re: CCIE starting pay [7:33899]
I agree with everything said so far...what needs to change is the way Microsoft, and now Cisco and most training providers and study guide publishers advertise the IT industry as a way of making the 'big bucks' - the only people making the big bucks are these guys. People looking for a career change read the hype about how much money can be made becoming an MCSE, CCNA etc so they take courses, study guides, practice exams - with no experience - get the cert then all of a sudden the industry is flooded. I'd like to see something like what Compaq does with the ASE - you can only get the cert if you are working for a Compaq partnerthis would really cut down on the amount of paper certified people. A little heavy handed but i think for the best in the long term - at least protects the integrity of the certification industry and the industry in general. Guy wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... A CCIE With no work experience I think most employers would shy away from that! A CCNP, or CCNA possible, but CCIE... Im not sure. That would be like a Brain surgeon with no work experience... WHat would you pay him to operate on your brain Makes you think eh??? I think your best bet is to get a job as a CCNP or CCNA, get a year or two experience (Minimum) then worry about CCIE. Maybe work some other certs in there too, like Unix or maybe Microsoft or something to round you out a bit more and make some opportunities in the market for yourself... Or firewalls, and or something like tripwire etc... My point is, If you have a CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, and 50 other certifications behind your name, and no work experience, poeple are going to know you are a good test taker, but you will still be starting off at the bottom. With a salary range of maybe 30-50k But that CCIE is not going to make it 100k no matter what your cousins brother or whatever told you. All the certifications are for is to take someone who has the experience, and skills, and gives them something they can use as proof of their expertise. It is not for an entry level person to get so they can get a higher start pay... All that does is cheapen the cert. Look at the MCSE. Back when I took my MCSE, that cert gave me credibility. I walked out of every interview with an offer. I could make my own choices. I took my MCSE after several years of workwith Net systems including Novell, IBM OS/2, and Microsoft. It was more of a proof of my skill set. Not a proof I can read Brain Dumps, and hope I will do ok if someone gives me the chance... Now days you mention MCSE, and what goes through your mind??? Thats right Worthless. Now why is that? Its because people with no skills heard of someone who became an MCSE, and started making 70k or whatever... Then that person decided, Hey, I can do that And found Transcenders etc... Became an M CSE, but cant even copy files to a floppy This happened on a large scale, and soon employers were hiring worthless MCSEs, and were getting frustrated... Now, in the IT industry, it has become a low level Cert... TO me that ticks me off. Ive been an MCSE since 96, and mine is prrof of the pudding not a piece of paper... Now, Cisco is becoming the same way. Look at how many people are becoming CCNP...CCNA...etc... How many of those people could configure a medium level network lab without the directions How many could trouble shoot their way out of a paper bag If people dont try to really learn the systems, all certifications will be no better than a 3rd grade diploma! sorry for my soap box, just really feel people take these things the wrong way If people dont wake up, then all of this is for nothing...

Re: vtp, spanning tree [7:14961]
Priscilla is of course correct - i looked at only one aspect/benefit of VTP. OSN Priscilla Oppenheimer wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... At 02:13 PM 8/5/01, Cisco Troubleshooter wrote: can any body tell, why we need spanning tree protocol per vlan If you have a large, switched network, all the switches are in the same spanning tree. Converging the spanning tree can take a long time. In addition, traffic flow may not be optimized. The selection of the root bridge and which interfaces are blocking might not be optimized for all the applications and devices in the large, switched network. With per-VLAN spanning tree, each VLAN becomes a single spanning tree with its own root bridge and own set of blocked ports. This way you can optimize traffic flow and reduce the amount of work to converge to a spanning tree. It's somewhat analogous to dividing a routed network into areas or autonomous systems. Also, at least with Catalyst 1900 switches, if you allow all VLANs to travel across both trunks, you will have a loop. If you don't configure per-VLAN spanning tree, you will have a broken network. You would think spanning tree would just work around this problem, but it doesn't seem to when VLANs are configured. and vtp why it is needed what purpose it serves VTP is a management protocol that allows switches to share information about VLAN names and IDs. It reduces configuration because you can configure VLAN names and IDs on just one or two server switches. The rest of the switches act as clients and pick up the info when they boot. By default, the switches do not keep track of which switches have which VLANs configured, however. I disagree with the other responder who said VTP reduces bandwidth usage on links and switches. It's VTP pruning that does that. If you configure VTP pruning, then an added VTP message gets sent. The added message includes VLAN membership information. With VTP pruning, the switches become a bit smarter and do not forward traffic for a VLAN across a link or to a switch that has no ports in that VLAN. This must be configured. Without pruning, VTP just shares info about VLAN names and IDs. Priscilla thnx in advance jd __ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

Thoughts on CCIE Written [7:14116]
Passed the written today - here are my thoughts: If you are a CCNP in good standing you shouldn't have a problem with this...of course hit the token ring (RIF calculation; Ethernet to TR MAC address translation) and bridging concepts. The exam wasn;t as hard as it was made out to be - overhyped just a little :)...everything is relative though i guess. Passing was 70% - i was very pleased with my score (scored well above 70%). What did i use?

Re: Infinity question!! [7:14138]
the answer is 'D' - that is an easy one suleman ibrahim aboo wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, in a distance vector protocol, counting to infinity? A. calculates the time taken for a protocol to converge B. checks to make sure the number of route entries donot exceed a set upper limit. C. counts the packet dropped during a routing loop. D. sets upper limit for hop count , so that routing loops can be broken if this limit is reached. E. causes the router to enter an infinite loop and requires the router to be restared. the choice is your's. thanks in advance for your help. suleman aboo. _ For Rs. 20,00,000 worth of Aptech scholarships click below http://events.rediff.com/aptechsch/scholarship.htm Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=14145t=14138 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Thoughts on CCIE Written [7:14116]
Follow this link: http://www.ccprep.com/resources/news/archives/Token_Ring2.pdf It is a great paper. The only thing it doesnt do well is explain ethernet-TR mac translation. Also be sure you know bin-hex conversion for the RIF stuff. Good luck. Oliver Gayathri wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi Where can I find the Token ring White paper? Thanks Gayathri Oliver Nadalin wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Passed the written today - here are my thoughts: If you are a CCNP in good standing you shouldn't have a problem with this...of course hit the token ring (RIF calculation; Ethernet to TR MAC address translation) and bridging concepts. The exam wasn;t as hard as it was made out to be - overhyped just a little :)...everything is relative though i guess. Passing was 70% - i was very pleased with my score (scored well above 70%).

Re: Thoughts on CCIE Written [7:14116]
Some points: - you could pass the CCIE written without a CCNP (lots of pre-CCNA CCNP, CCIE's obviously have) - CCNA and CCNP certs are for the benefit of employers as well as yourself - i found it much more manageable and beneficial to focus on each topic seperately. - when doing the CCNP, the depth of knowledge required on each subject (routing, switching, remote access, support) is only to your benefit. Each exam for the CCNP really tests on more intimate detailed knowledge than the CCIE written will. - having made the above points...and you still decide to by-pass the CCNP then you must have a library that contains: Cisco LAN Switching (cisco press), Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 and 2 (cisco press...of which one you have), Internet Routing Architectures (cisco press), CCNP Study Guide 'Building Cisco Remote Access Networks' (cisco press), and likewise the 'CCNP Support Exam Certification Guide' (cisco press)some ATM material as well (Cisco ATM Solutions)...and of course this is just a suggestion :) The caslow book is great, good choice - but the CCIE Study Guide from Sybex was really good for an overview...and don't forget that token ring white paper Thanks for the encouragement - and good luck to you too. Oliver Spencer Penfield wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Gongrats on your passing CCIE written and good luck with the LAB. I have a question. A bit about myself. I am a CCNA 2.0 and MCSE 4.0 and CNA 5.0 with over 3 years of Novell/NT networking experience. At my work, I have access to Cisco 2500, 2600 and 3600 series routers. But as you may know the real small campus networks are configured with static routes and there is no way to practice. I am trying to by-pass CCNP and go for the CCIE written and prepare for the lab. I have got Caslow's book for CCIE prep, Jeff Doyle's TCP/IP Routing and using Cisco Mentor Sim Labs. You mentioned that after getting CCNP it is easier to pass CCIE written. I guess my question is How difficult is to take CCIE written by-passing CCNP exams? My approach is to study for CCIE written combined as one big topic, rather than dividing it to Routing, Switching, Remote Access, and Support. This provides me a bigger picture. Since I am an MCSE and it was not difficult to pass CCNA with 924 score. I only had to familiarize myself with Cisco router commands. I have also subscribed to examcram.com to receive free questions everyday for Routing Switching, Support, Switching and Remote Access. I have answered 85-90 percent correctly. Any ideas are appreciated.

Re: Study Materials for CCNP 2.0 Track?
Enough already with the whole Layer 1/Hub debacle. The McGraw Hill stuff isn't that bad. It's a case of either-or when choosing between Cisco Press and Mcgraw Hill. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Try layer 1. Hubs and repeateras are purely physical. They don't process data in any way, shape, or form. All they do is move bits from one port to another. They are focused on BITS, not packets, segments, or frames. Check your OSI layer functions. Bridges and switches are layer 2 Routers and MLS cards are layer 3 4 (depending on whether you're switching/routing by net address or protocol/port) Karen E Young ELF Technologies, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desk: 206-770-4035 Pager: 206-994-4514 "Andrew Larkins" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alarkins@glocc: bal.co.za Subject: Re: Study Materials for CCNP 2.0 Track?

Hi guys - I'm studying for the CCNP myself, and I bought all four McGraw Hill Technical Expert books (all supervised by Tom Thomas, author of the Cisco OSPF book) - and they stink. I'd wait for the Cisco or even the Syngress books if I were you. Case in point: in the BCMSN book, repeaters and hubs are referred to throughout as "Layer 2 devices." 'Nuff said.

Hi Tracy, I'm just starting to study for my CCNP as well. I believe--someone correct me if I'm wrong on this--that all the books for the CCNP 2.0 are available save for the BSCN (Building Scalable Cisco Networks) which corresponds to the Routing 2.0 exam. I'm presently studying for the Switching 2.0 exam, and the BCMSN (Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks) Cisco Press book is available for that for certain. I believe the BCRAN and CIT books are also available though.
