RE: CID or Core Tests?
I personally would get your CCNP before your conquest on to the CID. The CID is the hardest exam in the series of NP/DP. It also bears no resemblance to the DCN. The DCN is more scenarios, whereas the CID is more into the actual workings of the protocols. In my opinion I would never have passed the CID without first taking the CCNP track.

I have been able to find the answers to most of my questions from the archives or current threads, but this one has me stumped. I have had my CCNA for about a year and just recently passed the DCN test. keeping in mind I wish to complete CCNP/DP certifications, my questions is as follows. Should I sit the CID test and get that out of the way while the DCN info is fresh, or should I take the core tests to prepare for the CID? I'm leaning towards CID, but would like feedback from those who have been there.

Re: CID or Core Tests?
CID isn't much like DCN. CID expects advanced technology expertise, especially in legacy protocols. CID does not have any case studies and only a few "methodology" questions. It mostly has strangely-worded questions about Cisco solutions to problems network engineers face when growing and enhancing enterprise networks. Bottom line: I think it would be hard to pass CID if you don't have the knowledge to pass the other core CCDP tests. Also, if you wait on CID, maybe you'll be able to take a test that isn't ancient. I haven't heard that Cisco is updating CID, but I would think that they must be. Priscilla At 10:04 PM 11/8/00, Mike McDaniel wrote: I have been a fly on the wall for some time.

RE: CID or Core Tests?
Actually the CID 4.0 course is about to debut in web based/e-learning format. The courseware should come out fairly soon after that. I was actually communicating with the Product Manager for the CID course and was going to sit in the beta class, but it was cancelled as their focus had changed to the web format. I'd suppose that the CID 4.0 exam would be developed a few months after the course is developed. --Mike -Original Message- From: Priscilla Oppenheimer To: Mike McDaniel; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11/9/00 12:28 PM Subject: Re: CID or Core Tests?

Re: CID or Core Tests?
Also agree with you robert, i take it several months ago (pass) and seems that this test isn't straight forward. Some questions i find have the correct answer regarding the technologies asked, but you have to choose the correct one regarding the question. So ... you have to really know the technology. and beware for the SNA lots of the question also. - Original Message - From: "McCallum, Robert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "'Mike McDaniel'" [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2000 4:48 PM Subject: RE: CID or Core Tests?
