BGP vs CCNP (For Fred R) [7:75207]
Fred R. You're obvious a pretty smart guy. Your posts here are very well structured and helpful. Don't put so much stock in the CCNP(NA) vs. bgp. I had my ccna only a few short months, when we went to multihoming with BGP. Do you really think that the small enterprise is going to use all the advanced BGP stuff to get it working nicely (route reflectors, confeds, clusters, etc). That stuff is for REALLY big Enterprises, and Bigger ISP's. I have never had to use more than route-maps, prefix-lists and "next-hop self" to get it working smooth. Also pretty much any ISP that runs BGP itself will allow you to advertise a /24 or greater. The only argument where the block comes from. MCI (formerly wcom/uunet) Qwest Sprint ATT Winstar (now owned by IDT) all have offered /24 and bgp for T-1 service. Several I use now. BGP for multihoming, load-balancing, and pretty much whatever else at the enterprise level is very basic and easy to design, setup and even troubleshoot. 1 thing I have always liked alot are the networkers "troubleshooting BGP and design" powerpoint files they put out ever year.

Yes, the Lab Companion guides can be used standalone without the rest of the Network Academy material. They have lots of labs that you can do on your own, assuming you have enough equipment. In the case of CCNA, many of the labs are easier and also more detailed then you have to know for CCNA. For example, there are pages of labs on using a LAN Fluke test and a wire-punch tool and configuring a PC for networking and doing subnet masks. I don't have the CCNP ones in front of me. My guess is they are a bit more advanced and assume the student is less clueless. > (What is the > journal used for anyways?) The journal has summaries and notes and ideas for the student to take notes. I don't think they are helpful. At first the Academy just told students to keep journals. I think that was a great approach and real-world. Personally, I have never been without an engineering journal. I've kept one for 25 years now. They have all my notes regarding projects. I think Cisco should have just explained to the students how people really use engineering journals and tried to get the students to do that too. Instead, they got lots of complains from high-school teachers (who teach the Academy program) that nobody knew what this journal thing was. So they wrote their own journals. Which totally misses the point. Well, anyway, back to your point! ;-) Yes, I think the companion guides are worth the money and would be helpful for home study.

There's also a lab companion guide for switching and remote access. They include topology drawings and all the info you need to set up the lab. Security is new to the Academy program, but there should be some materials for it too from Cisco Press, since it's certainly not new to Cisco or their certification programs. Good luck!

RE: CCNP Lab design and Topology [7:74389]
Have you contacted your local Cisco office for assistance in setting up the Networking Academy? I'm sure they would be glad to help in any way. Else, purchase the Cisco Press books for the various courses. They should indicate what equipment is suggested. My point being that while maybe 2600 series routers are specified - 2500 routers will substitute for some. That may be important if your budget is limited. Just looked at the "Semester Five Companion Guide - Advanced Routing" book. Each student team (usually one or two individuals) uses one pod of three routers. The recommendation is two 2620 and one 2621 routers per pod. Keep in mind that the courses will change as new equipment and technologies are created. Best to teach the basics - and for that older gear may work just fine. > -Original Message- > From: Magdy Ibrahim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 2:26 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: CCNP Lab design and Topology [7:74389] > > > Hi All, > I am wondering If I can find any help here regarding this > case but I am > trying as I knew that most of the list members are involved > in Networking > and communications > Ok, Now I am trying to build CCNP LAB here for studying > purposes in Cairo > University, Egypt.. > This lab will use for CCNP Training, Cisco academy courses and Cisco > security courses... > What I am looking for is what is the equipment I need to > build up such lab > to be a standard One???

What is the impact on me when my certification expires? You may no longer represent yourself as a holder of that certification or use the designation on your business card. And once your certification expires, you will no longer be able to recertify with a single exam. If you want the same certification, you will have to start over and complete all prerequisites and exams. This has been talked about previously on this list.

I think he is referring to a RJ45 jack on one end, and a RJ45 connector on the other, so that you can turn a normal patch cable into a cross-over cable. I'd actually suggest plugging all of the router Ethernet ports into a switch so that you can create VLANs and match two routers up in an ad-hoc kind of way remotely...

We all know that the existing CCNP (640-xxx) will no longer be available after Sept and will be replaced by the new 642-8x1 series. However there is no preparation materials (e.g. Cisco Press books) available as of today. Can someone let us know the differences between the current exams and the 642- series so that we can prepare to sit the new exams in Oct/Nov?

RE: CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
You have a great start. Let's consider what you have. The 2500s are great. In time, you will want to load an Enterprise version of IOS. That requires 16 MB Flash and 16 MB DRAM. There are many sources of third party DRAM and Flash - check the archives. You didn't say if the 2600s had any WIC cards. Two WIC-1Ts in each would be great. I recently bought several at an average price of $50 each. Just be patient. Again, verify how much Flash and DRAM you need for all your routers to run the images you want. Back-to-back serial cables. Again several sources. I have purchased from Bob Lowery, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good prices and great service. Length depends on how you group your routers. Three foot (one meter) is handy if the routers are close together. Six foot or ten foot might also be useful. Ethernet cables. You'll want some crossover cables. May I suggest making some very short ones with a plug on one end and a jack on the other. Then add a regular patch cord of the desired length to meet your needs. Consider racking your equipment. Besides the full height racks you may have at work, there are short portable racks made for musicians. The rack is part of a shipping container. The discussions about these on groupstudy indicated they were quite reasonably priced. If you start with Routing, I would think that you have everything you need. I'll assume, without checking, that the 8 A/S module has DB-60 interfaces. Later when you do Remote Access an ISDN simulator would be a great addition. CCO has many resources. There are many great books. Consider some of those mentioned often on the list.

RE: CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
I think they're suggesting that you make a short cross-over male to female cable (instead of the standard male to male patch cable). The idea being that you could still use your standard patch cables and where a cross-over cable was required and simply connect the short cross-over to one end. Does this clear it up for you or are you more confused? ~~ R.

RE: New CCNP 642-8x1 exams [7:73598]
After looking over the blueprints, there aren't a lot of differences between the old exams and the new exams that I can see. There are some newer topics, but I really don't see enough change between the old exams and the new exams to get nervous about. I noticed that Cisco likes to take a topic from an old blueprint and re-word it so that it looks different in a new blueprint, even though it's the same topic. Here's what I've noticed "most of the time" in the past when Cisco releases a new version of a particular exam: The core topics are always covered, regardless of whether you're taking an old exam or a new exam. Cisco likes to re-word questions taken from old exams and put them on new exams. However, they still cover the same topics. Know these core topics and you have 90% of the exam covered. The other 10% may be new questions covering new technologies, etc. Just my opinion.

CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
Like the other person previously... I am trying to build a lab. I am personally starting my Cisco track but I have recieved some routers from my work. I personally have 2-2501, 3-2503, 1-2504, 1-as2511-rj(which I dont know how to use), 1-2611, 1-2612, 1-3640 w/ 8 a/s module: 2ME-2W module: 4-port ISDN Bri module (dont know module name), 2-2912, 1-2950. Can you also give me any suggestions? Larus has mentioned a backbone router but isnt the 3640 sufficient? Overall... is there anything else that i need to improve this other than 3550 switches which are way out of my budget!!!?

Re: CCNP >> MCSE >> hands on [7:73284]
Please clarify: You mentioned both W2KServer & Desktop (is is Professional)? If W2Kserver are you running Workgroup or Domain? If domain, please check to make sure W98 is logged into the domain. If Workgroup do you have any personal firewall running? If you do, check the traffic log and open UDP port 137/138 for local network or open up all for local network subnet. Did you share the W2K drive (not just administrative share) and allow everyone to the share? If W2Kserver install network monitor on the W2K and capture the traffic for analysis.

Re: CCNP >> MCSE >> hands on [7:73284]
Typically, on a home or small business LAN, the firewall reconizes a network as internal (trusted) or Internet (damned dangerous), and has default port settings based on that. ZoneAlarm is a popular software firewall, and automagically detects networks based on TCP/IP settings. If you designate that you trust the network, the default is to leave the Windows networking ports open (that can be changed, of course). The Internet, however, is by default never trusted. ZA is actually pretty good -- I found a little porn package on a customer's home PC when it tried to phone home and we said words to the effect of "where did that come from?" Why silly, it came from an unprotected DSL connection! Annlee Priscilla Oppenheimer wrote: > One other more useful comment. :-) Does the client or server have personal > firewall software running?

RE: CCNP >> MCSE >> hands on [7:73284]
Yup, realized that right after I hit send. I am used to troubleshooting things here. Have to double check everything a tech says he did. Had a guy one day tell me there was a network problem with a PC, everything at the PC checked out OK. I asked for the cable number, checked the database, check the switch port, and no activity. Went down to the machine, did a couple checks, decided to make sure the jumper cable was pushed in all the way. This is when I discovered that the cable wasn't even plugged in. Since then I check the obvious first. -Original Message- From: Duy Nguyen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 2:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CCNP >> MCSE >> hands on [7:73284] He's able to see the c:\ on the laptop so its not physical.

Re: SHould I buy this CCNP lab? [7:73175]
Looks pretty good. On Ebay most of those routers go around 200 or more (unless they have gone down again). Not sure on the switch, I think the 1924 I have went for 250 with free shipping. The DTE/DCE cables are about 9 a piece. Biggest thing on the 25xx routers is the 16Mb of flash, which those have. Otherwise you have to mess with the rom chips etc. Good luck with your lab those pieces make up a good portion of my lab as well.

Studying for CCNP switching Need a LAB??? [7:73174]
Hi I am beginning my studies for my CCNP. I work with routers and switches at work, and Before that I also took the courses. But I want to have a full CCNP lab now while I read on my own to fiddle around with, and incorporate into my Solaris/Win2000/2003/Linux network. I was wondering what equipment is necessary? Ok if someone would be so kind as to break it down by certification ex.. what i need for swithing, routing etc Then what would I need overall? Also has anyone put their CCNP lab equipment into a full network? If so what does your network look like? Did you simulate separate LAN's/Countries etc... P.S. Do you think it's better to buy it all at once or as needed for each individual test? I know I could probably get it done by just reading and through my job and previous schooling. But i really want a lab so i could turn that lab upside down. I want to be able to handle any situation, i cant very well bring down my work routers or switches, but it can be simulated in a lab without fear of knocking out an entire county. Thanks for the help. I usually see on EBAY that they sell complete CCNP labs, what do you think of going this route? Are they good? thanks sorry for the long winded post.

Thanks God, Thanks father and mother, Thanks friends who's helped me, I've passed my BCRAN 642-821 exam yesterday, the score to pass is 790, the exam has 67 questions, 75 minutes, one simulation (one for my exam, simulation is not difficult, cisco said that you should not spend more than 10 minues for one simulation question) and it's the first exam of mine toward CCNP After the exam, I realize that, it is not very difficult to pass CCNP exams if you could spend time to study CCNP materials, documents on Cisco website and doing some labs, simulator software is a good choice for inexpensive labs Goodluck to me and you all Thanh MN Vietnam Datacommunication Company 292 Tay Son, Hanoi, Vietnam Nakul Malik wrote: >I would recommend the following order: > >Routing --> Switching --> Remote access --> Support > >-Nakul > > wrote in message >news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >>hi ppl, >>Im planning to start on my ccnp---> first step joined groupstudy (as i did >>for my ccna ;-) ).

Re: Starting off towards a CCNP [7:72734]
This is the way I did it. My own humble opinion is that this way scales down in the degree of difficulty, hardest first, easiest last, and the order seemed to sit nicely in terms of what you learned serving you well for the next exam and so on.

Re: Starting off towards a CCNP [7:72734]
I'm gonna deviate from the norm on this. I have taken the BSCI and Switching exams in the last month. I think the study material you have would likely be fine for those except you need to add Is-Is to the routing info. I think that you could hunker down and get ready for the switching exam before they change it September 7. once they change it You will have to either get new study material or supplement it more than for the current set of exams. But like I said, I would knock off the Swiitching one first since (my opinion) it is easier. Get it out of the way before it changes. The Routing exam isn't supposed to change all that much.

The materials have been updated, especially BSCI. BCMSN is more oriented towards the 3550 now, but not too many changes really. BCRAN added some really simple questions on VPN, xDSL, and Cable, but otherwise has remained the same for years. For BSCI, I suggest getting the new material, all the others are probably fine to study with even really outdated material such as CY2000. BCRAN is the hardest test in most people's opinions. Most people do BCMSN -> BSCI -> BCRAN -> CITbut I did CIT first because it's really easy. Most people do CIT last since it incorporates questions from all three other exams. I think it's beneficial to have studied the BSCI material before taking the BCRAN, and also beneficial to study the BCMSN before taking the BSCI, but everyone is different. -dre Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=72737&t=72734 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So it means that I need to spend another US$125 to take the CCNA exam, although the exam itself is easy. I plan to take the CCNA exam this Friday, and then I am a VALID CCNP. :-) After finish that, I can do my best to prepare the CCIE written exam. I think we are "net friends", I'm glad to help you when you need. Best Regards, Grant The following is the answer from Cisco. Cisco's Answer-- Dear Qing: Yes, you will need to take the CCNA exam. To achieve the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification you have a valid CCNA certification. On June 24, 2003 Cisco Systems, Inc. announced three enhancements to the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) program. The enhancements include a new two-step exam path for new candidates entering the networking field, revisions to the existing CCNA exam and the option for candidates to recertify their CCNA certification by passing the ICND 640-811 exam. Candidates have two options to obtain their CCNA certification: 1. Passing the CCNA 640-607 (Last day to register September 30, 2003) or CCNA 640-801 exam (available on June 30, 2003) 2. Passing the INTRO 640-821 exam (currently as beta exam 641-821) and ICND 640-811 exam (available on June 30, 2003) Cisco has developed several recommended courses that are only available through a Cisco Certified Learning Partner.

Careful there! Don't mistake MLS for MPLS. Two different animals entirely.
MLS is Multi-Layer Switching and is strictly a LAN technology while MPLS

RE: Any LANE on CCNP switching [7:72197]
it doesn't seem like anyone wants to commit and possibly tell you not to worry about LANE when you might have some questions on it in the test.

RE: Any LANE on CCNP switching [7:72197]
I passed the BCMSN test, but you can look at the Cisco documentation for what should be on the test. If you've taken any courses for the CCNP, or look at the info from Cisco, you will probably see that ATM, and LANE in specific, is a very small percentage of the material covered, if at all. So, if there are any questions on your particular test the percentage of them should be relatively small. You should be able to miss all of them and still pass, assuming that you get 100% on everything else. I sincerely doubt that Cisco would include more than 30% of the questions that are involving LANE... -Fred Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=72210&t=72197 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re[2]: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
John,
Your best bet is to take either the composite exam or the recert exam. Both
will get you recertified and both are only one exam rather than 4. If you
can wait until the composite exam comes online (August 7th) that one may be
best since it looks like it will recertify both CCNP and CCDP at the same
time. I'm planning on taking the composite myself.
If you do have to do all four test, I'd suggest taking the foundation and
the CIT bt you'll have to be quick since the foundation is being phased out
on September 7th. After that its the composite, BCRAN, and CIT.

Re: CCNP and CCNA recertification [7:72138]
Grant, Correct, you will need to do the CCNA exam againthis should not be difficult considering the rate at which you have been doing your CCNP :-) Good Luck...you are not a CCNP despite finishing the 4 courses. Very strange rule indeed. It must be meant to suit Cisco's Certification Information System logic.

Re: CCNP and CCNA recertification [7:72138]
There is no recert for CCNA - that would make your CCNA inactive and therefore yes you will have to do the CCNA again.

CCNP and CCNA recertification [7:72138]
Hi,all I got CCNA certification 4 years ago and not take recertification exam yet. If I pass all the four CCNP exams, do I need to recertificate my CCNA in order to get the CCNP certification? Thanks in advance!

RE: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
I really do hate thinking I will lose it, but with any good luck it
should only be expired for a few weeks. I plan to write the 4 exams
within about a 4-5 week timeframe.
I don't really have enough time to do it for the 21st, unless all I do
is braindump it, but would prefer to go over all the material to
remember what I forgot and go over whatever is new, instead. I figure
this way I'll end up writing BSCI which help in going for any of the
CCIP's. I would have preferred just to write the Composite exam then I
could renew CCNP and CCDP at the same time. But such is life with Cisco
Certs.
Thanks for the IS-IS document.

You shouldn't lose your CCNP, albeit temporarily (hopefully). Think how
hard
you worked to get it. How will you feel when you can no longer say you
have
it? I think you should try the recert exam.
I'm sorry if I scared you by saying it is hard. It is hard, but study
the
IS-IS supplement from Cisco Press and some material on multilayer
switching
and eat a lot of blueberries. At least give it a try.
Here's a link on multilayer switching:

Do you know about the free PDF document that Cisco Press put out on
IS-IS
for BSCI candidates? When Cisco added IS-IS, Cisco Press didn't have a
book
out yet that covered it (from a BSCI viewpoint anyway), so they put out
a
PDF. Here's a link:

Good luck whichever way you go, but I definitely recommend not lettting

CCNP disappear, even temporarily.

Also are there any good books to brush up on things that were not in the CCNP three years ago ?? Thanks Simon.

Re[2]: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
If you check Cisco's website, you'll see that the old Foundation exam and both the CCNP recert and the CCDP recert all go offline on September 7th. The new test (642-891) will replace them and comes online on August 7th. The current CCNP and CCDP recerts will no longer be offered after September 7th. Just the Composite.

Well I decided I wouldn't push it in such a short timeframe with the one exam. With work and whatever else probably won't have enough time to study fully for it. So I will write either all 4 again, or cit/bcran and then the new Composite once it's out. Anyone know if the Composite will count towards things like CCIP? If it doesn't I'd just take the 4 exam route.

Re: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
Two other problems with Cisco beta exams is that they are often loaded with errors (meaning you can get an answer right, but not get the points), and that you don't learn the results for months. In your case, you'd spend two months not knowing if you're CCNP is valid (I couldn't handle the pressure if it were me)...

Just do it. It's not that painful. :-) And I think it's your only option. Ask Cisco and check your tracking info to be sure. Good luck!

Re: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
I just did the CCNP recet test two weeks ago and passed with not too much studying -- used boson test to see my weak areas and just brushed up on those areas -- hint -- you can use the same study materials you used three years ago -- nothing has changed. as to the answer to your questions, my experience has been that you should go directly to cisco with these questions so you have a documented answer when they change their mind later on ;-) d ""John Cianfarani"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I have to recert my CCNP by the 21st of this month.

CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
I have to recert my CCNP by the 21st of this month. (yeah I know I left it late, but I was busy upgrading my CSS1 to CCSP). I notice they have a new test coming out ( 642-891 ) Called Composite which is based on BSCI and BCMSN, which will also let you recert your CCNP and CCDP with at the same time. Now that test doesn't come out until Aug 7th. Anyone know if there is still a Beta of this exam available to write? Or if Writing BSCI / BCMSN is equivalent? Also anyone know a way extended you recert date maybe by writing a current CCNP exam or something or am I just gonna have to buckle down and write the 640-851 CCNP Recert exam? Thanks!
