Re: Topics covered for the CID 640-025 exam?? [7:72479]

2003-07-19 Thread Cisco Nuts
Thanks so much for the info. It's amazing what Cisco says will be valid
topics for the exam and what exactly comes in the real exam!! I wonder
why Cisco does not even mention the topics in their web-site. So I gather
that IPX, AT, Windows, X.25 will be covered in the exam?

2003-07-19 Thread Cisco Nuts
Chuck,

Thanks for the useful info.

Question for you: Why does Cisco does this? Is it just to screw us,
seriously? :-

If you have checked out Cisco's web site for the CCDP exam topics, IPX,
AT, Windows Networking, X.25, SNA and Stratacom switches are NOT
mentioned at all. But someone else who took the same exam on 12/2002 just
pointed out that everything else but SNA and Stratacom switches were
covered on the exam.

I wonder if Cisco just published a new exam topics on their web-site.

They do mention HSRP, IRB, Spanning-Tree, Vlans, BPDU's etc. etc which I
don't see being covered in the CID book.??

I am confused!! All I am using in the CID book by M. Birkerner. I wonder
if this will suffice.

Sincerely.

 if it's any help, the CCDP recert exam pretty much followed right
along the published exam topics. I don't recall being surprised by
anything I saw.  As for the CID itself, I took the 3.0 exam several
years ago and the only real gripe I had about it was the stratecom
stuff, which was not included in the course materials. It took me two
tries to pass, but mainly because I didn't treat the LAN protocols
seriously the first time through. If recent experience is worth
anything, the published exam topics are probably the best place to
start.  For both my CCNP and CCDP recerts, I found that a couple of
years of reading and hands on as part of CCIE Lab prep were all that was
necessary ;-   Cisco Nuts wrote in message

Cisconuts,

pointed out that everything else but SNA and Stratacom switches were 
covered on the exam.

Sorry for my English, second language!
I did not mean to scare you that I got other topics. What I really mean is:
As the Cisco guideline for 640-025 does not mention the topics, I didnot get
SNA, Stratacom.

And, since I took the exam longer than half year ago, I do not remember
exactly so I can tell you I didnot get hit by IPX,
AT, Windows Networking, X.25 neither.
I would say: no!
In my memory about that exam:
I like this Exam better than 640-441. Even it was a long exam, the questions
were straighforward and topics mostly fitted as posted in guideline.

Goodluck,

Dear Cisco Nuts,

Okay, they will ask some questions on desktop networking: broadcasts and
that kind of stuff. I think you have to read that chapter in the CID book
(Windows Networking).

Otherwise, you should be fine with Cisco Internetwork Design (CID) course
book: know it inside out because everything is there, and it can confuse if
not covered thoroughly.

I did it twice, but should have done it once actually.

Good weekend.

Well, thank you.someone finally responded!! :-)

I will definitely go over the Windows networking part but how about those
other topics that I mentioned.Are they going to be asked at all?

I do not see these topics listed under the exam topics on CCO.

When did you take your exam? Things might have changed but I am not sure.

CCDP requirements: pointless to do CID if you don't already [7:72027]

2003-07-08 Thread MCMORDIE Shane (BMB)
Hi,

I'm aiming at CCDP but I don't have BCRAN.   Am I correct in thinking
that there is no point in me registering for CID before registration
finally ends on July 25th - because to go this route to CCDP, BCRAN is
also needed - but is no longer available?

Therefore better for me to forget CID and go straight to ARCH?

Thanks,

BCRAN is still available. It's still required for CCNP so it has to be
available. More here:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/lan/programs/ccnp.html

The real question is can you get CCDP without BCRAN even during this
transition period? At some point BCRAN won't be required for CCDP. Has that
started already? I think it has. You better ask Cisco and/or check your
progress on the tracking system to be sure, though.

Good luck!

According to CID lingo a collapsed backbone is a single router or switch
acting as a backbone in a campus design model. It contrasts with a
distributed backbone where routers or switches are spread out among floors
or buildings, all connected together via something like FDDI. (Yes, CID
still has FDDI in it!)

Maybe that picture you are looking at is an error.

Good luck with CID. It's a fun one! :-)

Hi,

I have done that exam today and passed barely. This after I failed barely
last week.

I used great books (because I like great books!).

1. Top Down Network Design - Priscilla Oppenheimer.
2. Cisco Internetwork Design - Mathew Birkner.
3. Boson Test #1 Practice Test.

These resources will take you through, but you have to read the questions
carefully, because two answers look almost alike (to the
uninitiated!)that is when I realized the difficulty of this exam for
someone without networking experience.

I uesd the Top Down Network Design book, it´s a great book, but I actuly
just got through half of it before the exam.

it´s not that hard, and I took the CCDA, the old version after the CID and i
would say the cid is a little harder, and not as boring i.e. does not
contain case study´s like the ccda.

CID, No X.25/Microsoft/Appletalk/IPX? [7:63921]

2003-02-26 Thread Prather Aaron
I was reviewing the exam outline on cisco's site for the CID exam and
noticed that it did not say anything about X.25, IPX, Appletalk, or
Microsoft Networking. Have they removed this from the exam? I got my CCDP 3
years ago and now want to recert (I recerted my CCNP already so all I have
left is CID).  I have my old book, but it covers these technologies
extensively and I dont want to spend extra time on those sections if they
wont even be on the exam.  I know the CID is about to be retired, so I want
to hurry up and take this exam so I dont have to worry about the new one. 
Please help out if you can!

Thanks!

In particular I can't seem to find out if Appletalk,
SNA and Voice are on the exam. The cisco website
doesn't include them on the exam content but the Cisco
Press CID exam certification guide I've got does. I
contacted Cisco but they gave me a pretty vague answer

Trying not to break NDA,

At the time I took CID 3.0 ( Nov/2002 ), There were not SNA, Stratacom, or
voice.
There were not questions DIRECTLY to AppleTalk or IPX. So, you still need to
understand about AT and IPX for yourself and the exam as well.

Good Luck,

That would be the idea: if you cannot find it on the web site's exam content
list, it just might not be on test anymore.  Pay careful attention to what
IS on that list, that is not in the official review books.  You will need
some research and self-study to be prepared in those areas.

likely to be included on the Cisco Internetwork Design exam. However, other

DCN/CID exam difficulty [7:56319]

2002-10-25 Thread
Folks

Due to suffering from Cisco withdrawal symptoms recently (I am between
jobs right now and my lab is in storage awaiting a house move, so I
havent actually had my hands on cisco kit for 3 months) I decided to go
for the only cisco certs that dont strictly require hands-on practice,
the DCN and CID exams.

After spending a week or two studying Top Down Network Design (an
excellent book by the way Priscilla), I signed up for DCN on Tuesday and
CID on Thursday. Over the weekend I read the Cisco press DCN course book
and cert guide and took the DCN exam on Tuesday morning. Then spent the
rest of the day and wednesday reading the CID course book and cert guide
and took the CID exam on Thursday morning.

OK, now I am going to get to the point of this email. What really
suprised me was the difficulty level of the two exams. 

Although I basically did well in the DCN exam overall, I am convinced
that were it not for what I know from my previous CCNP/CCIP studies, I
would have failed this exam. ie I scored 100% on all the technology
areas (Lan protocols, wan technologies, bridging/switching, routing
protocols and Network management), but scored poorly on the core CCDA
areas.

Then when I came to the CID exam, I went in expecting a really tough
exam (based on what I have heard here and other places) and ended up
completing the exam in less than 30 minutes and passing.

So, the crux of the issue is ... was my experience unusual or has the
difficulty of these exams changed recently.  Admitedly I do feel that I
actually learnt a lot in my study for the exams, but somehow I almost
feel cheated.  There is a lot of satisfaction to be gained from pushing
yourself, learning a load of new stuff and then passing a difficult exam
(ie validating your knowledge), and this time I dont seem to feel that
sense of accomplishment.

OK, time for me to stop rambling on.  Any thoughts anyone?

Peter Walker

Hey folks,

I passed CID (CCDP) yesterday.
For those who are studying for this test, don't spend your time with
Appletalk, IPX, StrataCom, SNA and Voice. I got no questions about these
subjects. I think this test was easier that CCDA (DCN is really tough
because of the case studies). I got a lot of Frame Relay, IGRP/EIGRP,
IP Address issues and Hierarquical design questions. Total of 75 questions
to complete in 90 minutes.

Used Cisco Internetwork Design book (Cisco Press) by Matthew H. Birkner
and Bernard's Boson CID#1 and that should be enough.

Last stretch to CID on Friday [7:51344]

2002-08-14 Thread Andrew Larkins

Hi all, 

Busy cramming away here for my exam on Friday morning. Anyone have any
pointers
From the Cisco exam outline webpage there is no mention on AppleTalk and SNA
- that bothers me a little as I really expected this
I realise that this is a badly worded exam - can't really be worse than the
CCDA exam??!!

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am taking CID next week, and so far for my preparation, I have been
studying for SNA and Appletalk as well. From my understanding, both topics
are included.
anyway, good luck for your exam, and do let me know if SNA and Appletalk are
excluded.

RE: Last stretch to CID on Friday [7:51344]

2002-08-14 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd like to start studying for the CID Exam.

I have the CID book from a friend. I have looked at the objectives on the
cisco website, and SNA and Apple are not listed there. But they are in the
CID book. The objectives also don't list anything more (to replace SNA and
Apple). So my question is that can I study using the CID with more focus on
the other chapters, and just read over SNA + Apple. 

Am I missing something ... Sorry ... Went for two operations in the last
month ... I think the anasthetic is still in me :}

Thanks
Manish

And, sir, why do you call it Applecrap? ;-) Seriously, can you provide some
technical reasons to disparage it?

Perhaps it's still on Cisco tests because the philosophies behind AppleTalk
had a big impact on modern desktop protocol design. Also, many universities
and schools of all sorts still have large AppleTalk networks. You would be
surprised at how many still use it. It's also still used at scientific and
graphics arts companies.

Many protocol designers admire the pioneering work that Apple did to make
networks plug and play. There's a new IETF working group called the Zero
Configuration Networking group that credits AppleTalk. See here for more info:

http://www.zeroconf.org/

Note that IPv6 has serverless autonegotiation of network-layer addresses
which behaves quite a bit like AppleTalk. (It probably won't catch on in
many environments which have a DHCP server, but it may catch on in other
environments). And how about Microsoft's automatic addressing. (Of course we
normally only see that when DHCP has failed, but still Microsoft thought
enough of the AppleTalk mechanism to steal it. ;-)

And how about service location? TCP/IP barely even has service location,
still to this day. Don't you think it's a little silly that we have to find
resources with a search engine? There is hope with new protocols like the
Service Location Protocol (SLP) and some of the new multicast protocols that
let you find multicasting servers. Note that the SLP RFC credits AppleTalk.

Maybe some expert told you that AppleTalk is chatty. For one thing, any
protocol that tries to automate service location, speed up routing protocol
convergence, and quickly workaround connection disconnects is going to be a
bit chatty. It's a tradeoff. AppleTalk is no more chatty than Windows
Networking or IPX. And you want chatty, how about all those keepalives and
hellos that Cisco routers send?

Maybe that same expert told you to avoid AppleTalk because it broadcasts
too much. That's a myth. It uses multicasts, for one thing, which means a
decent NIC driver that doesn't do AppleTalk shouldn't bother the host.

The descriptions you see about Chooser behavior are mostly nonsense. The
Chooser doesn't send broadcasts. It sends broadcast requests which are
forwarded (as unicasts) to each router in the zone. Those routers send a
multicast onto their networks in the zone. With good network design, this is
no problem.

The Chooser doesn't send continually unless the user leaves it open with a
zone and service highlighted, which is almost never the case. Then it does
send rather often, but backs off after 45 seconds. The problem where it sent
the broadcast request packets (which are really unicasts) very often,
without backing off, was fixed in 1989. By then, it was too late. The
criticism of its behavior (even though already based on misinformation) was
entrenched in people's minds.

Hey, I could go on and on, but I'll stop here, you'll be glad to see. ;-)

 And, sir, why do you call it Applecrap? ;-) Seriously, can you provide
some
 technical reasons to disparage it?

 Perhaps it's still on Cisco tests because the philosophies behind
AppleTalk
 had a big impact on modern desktop protocol design. Also, many
universities
 and schools of all sorts still have large AppleTalk networks. You would be
 surprised at how many still use it. It's also still used at scientific and
 graphics arts companies.

 Many protocol designers admire the pioneering work that Apple did to make
 networks plug and play. There's a new IETF working group called the Zero
 Configuration Networking group that credits AppleTalk. See here for more
info:

 http://www.zeroconf.org/

 Note that IPv6 has serverless autonegotiation of network-layer addresses
 which behaves quite a bit like AppleTalk. (It probably won't catch on in
 many environments which have a DHCP server, but it may catch on in other
 environments). And how about Microsoft's automatic addressing. (Of course
we
 normally only see that when DHCP has failed, but still Microsoft thought
 enough of the AppleTalk mechanism to steal it. ;-)

 And how about service location? TCP/IP barely even has service location,
 still to this day. Don't you think it's a little silly that we have to
find
 resources with a search engine? There is hope with new protocols like the
 Service Location Protocol (SLP) and some of the new multicast protocols
that
 let you find multicasting servers. Note that the SLP RFC credits
AppleTalk.

 Maybe some expert told you that AppleTalk is chatty. For one thing,
any
 protocol that tries to automate service location, speed up routing
protocol
 convergence, and quickly workaround connection disconnects is going to be
a
 bit chatty. It's a tradeoff. AppleTalk is no more chatty than Windows
 Networking or IPX. And you want chatty, how about all those keepalives and
 hellos that Cisco routers send?

 Maybe that same expert told you to avoid AppleTalk because it broadcasts
 too much. That's a myth. It uses multicasts, for one thing, which means a
 decent NIC driver that doesn't do AppleTalk shouldn't bother the host.

 The descriptions you see about Chooser behavior are mostly nonsense. The
 Chooser doesn't send broadcasts. It sends broadcast requests which are
 forwarded (as unicasts) to each router in the zone. Those routers send a
 multicast onto their networks in the zone. With good network design, this
is
 no problem.

 The Chooser doesn't send continually unless the user leaves it open with a
 zone and service highlighted, which is almost never the case. Then it does
 send rather often, but backs off after 45 seconds. The problem where it
sent
 the broadcast request packets (which are really unicasts) very often,
 without backing off, was fixed in 1989. By then, it was too late. The
 criticism of its behavior (even though already based on misinformation)
was
 entrenched in people's minds.

 Hey, I could go on and on, but I'll stop here, you'll be glad to see. ;-)

RE: CID [7:47496]

I just completed the CID exam last week with an 872. I followed the exact
advice Andy has given you (thanks for the recommendation Andy and Leigh
Ann). I read Top-Down Network Design and it is exceptional (both for the
test and for general knowledge). I also used Boson #1 (not great but
adequate) and the CCxx Productions CID study guide, which is good. It has a
few errors and when you know the material well enough to spot them, you are
ready. I studied for 4 days and took the exam. Mainly I did it this way
because some of the sources conflicted on information and I decided to see
what was on the test and did not really expect to pass. The horror stories
about this exam are greatly exaggerated. It is 75 questions in 90 minutes
with a 755 to pass. I finished in 22 minutes. There was no more than a
couple of basic ATM questions, no Stratacom, and no SNA. No 2 page scenario
questions like the DA exam either. Some of the questions are definitely
value judgments that you need to know the Cisco answer to get them right.

CCNP Complete, Passed CID 3.0 640-025 [7:45289]

2002-05-28 Thread Ejay Hire

Hello all.

Today I passed CID 3.0 640-025.  90 minutes, 75 questions, Scoring range 
300-1000, passing score 755.

I will not divulge any information about the exam other than the following.
-The cisco exam outline does not mention SNA
-The cisco exam outline does mention layer two technologies including ATM.
I found the exam to follow the cisco exam outling very closely.

For Preparation I used the Sybex book and residual knowledge from CCNP 
certification.

I've almost got the whole set now.  CCNA, CCNP, CCDP  I'm going to reattempt 
the RS Lab this fall.

Anyone know of any openings for a Network Engineer with 3-5 years of 
experience?

Please CC me on replies.  I'm unsubscribed now because of hotmail 
limitations.

Thanks,

I took the test about 2 months ago, and I thought it was very easy, even
cold. I haven't read any of the study guides, so I can't tell you how close
they match, but I can tell you the things that stood out to me:

-No configuration questions
-Some basic troubleshooting
-Mostly design (i.e. what is best in this situation) questions
-Lots of Token Ring stuff
-Some rough PPP questions (read the RFCs)
-Some ancient (SNA and X.25) stuff
-A decent amount of fairly easy routing questions, mostly OSPF, EIGRP and RIP
-Surprisingly, some network tools questions where the answer was NOT the
Cisco product (Openview, Sniffer, etc.)

Hope this helps,

There are indeed SNA questions in the new CID exam. I am sure these are

 Hey, you guys keep giving me a chance to get in some free advertising! ;-)

 My next book is about troubleshooting. It is written (with Joseph
 Bardwell's help), but the publisher (Wiley) is still doing the production.
 Stay tuned. Thanks for asking. There's more info here:

 Hopefully the date that Amazon is reporting (July) is worst case!

 By the way, I approve of Robert Padjen's book on CID also. I wrote a good

Hi

I took exam on 04/01 (this Monday).  No questions were about SNA, AT.  But i
could find
some questions were from DeskTop protocol design and lots from WAN. I took
the same
exam on 01/02, that time lots of questions from SNA. Recently exam duration
is about 90
Minutes (last time 120 Minutes - 100 questions) 75 questions.

Hope above helps. All the best.

I'm sure you'll get flamed for advertising your own book, but I'm going to 
give you a hard time also for lack of accuracy. ;-)

Top-Down Network Design is not a certification book, but it is based on the 
work I did on both the Designing Cisco Networks (DCN) and the Cisco 
Internetwork Design (CID) training classes when I worked for Cisco.

I have heard that Cisco has made CID match my Top-Down Network Design book 
even more closely than before. I know for a fact that the description of 
the CID course is taken from my Top-Down Network Design book. I did a 
double-take when I read the following text from the description of the CID 
class here:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/front.x/wwtraining/CELC/index.cgi?action=CourseDescCOURSE_ID=321

Good internetwork design recognizes a customer's requirements embody many 
business and technical goals, including requirements for availability, 
scalability, affordability, security, and manageability. Difficult 
internetwork design choices and tradeoffs must be made when designing the 
internetwork before any physical devices or media are selected.

CID covers typical internetwork design business and technical goals and 
constraints. CID details the top-down design process and the importance of 
using systematic methods for internetwork design. Using systematic methods 
helps you, the internetwork designer, to keep pace with changing 
technologies and customer requirements.

I said to myself, Hey I wrote that. Oh yeah, I should have had a lawyer 
look at my book contract. Cisco can use anything I wrote in the book. 
Bummer. or maybe not?? ;-]

Priscilla

To save a buck, if you
feel comfortable with the material, you may want to
forgo the big book and use the Exam Notes (used books
are out there too). The new test might focus on
multicast more than the books reflect, and they may
have less StrataCom and ATM, but its close enough.
640-025 (the exam the book was written to) is still
the current version.

Good luck.

go to www.cisco.com  Click technical documents.  Look 1/2 way down on the
left hand side.  Internetwork Design Guide..

top down network design is also a good book, (you'll have to buy it) and the
internetworking case studies are helpful in finding the cisco way of doing
things.

I also took it last week, after 2/25/02, and noticed no changes from the
objective list prior to the date that you have stated.  While there are some
changes on the objectives listed on the website, now, ATM  ATM LANE are
still mentioned as objective categorys.

The CID exam was recently updated. The new objectives are on the web
site.
The SNA and extensive ATM coverage is gone. Also Appletalk, IPX, DLSW,
are gone as well.

The exam is 90 minutes long with 75 questions and the passing score is
755.

The Cisco Press CID study guide is OK but the CID exam guide is
terrible. They both have extensive SNA coverage, but like I said, is not
part of the exam any longer.

I highly recommend the Top-Down Network Design book as the new CID
guide. Besides being a great book, it has all that you'll need for the
CID exam provided you are a CCNP.

In my opinion, the new CID exam is not anymore difficult than the CCNP
exams.

Good luck to you.

When is the last time you attempted the exam. I took it last week and
it's entirely new. The new objectives are listed on the web site, SNA
and ATM are gone.
I actually thought the exam was too easy.

I used the CID books but the Top Down Network Design book should now be
the new course book.

I used this book and also used cisco course notes - all seem are high

SNA and ATM switch questions are in great detail - but not covered in
detail
in the book. I have since started on the CIT!

 Hi All,

 Sorry if this question has been asked before but a brief look in the
archives
 yielded no results.

 I'm studying for the CCDP and have only the CID exam left to take. I'm
using
 the Cisco press
 book Cisco Internetwork design by Matthew Birkner. I'm about half
way
 through it and I can't help feeling that the contents are at too high
a
level
 to be of help when sitting the exam.. Can anyone advise if my
suspicion is
 correct and if so what would I be better off studying?

 Thanks
