surely makes sense.
if they are gonna introduce simulations, why not go all the way.
well oks if they wanna keep these simulations and their quality, then
restrict it to the
ccna coz you would find a lot of newbies who are giving that exam these days.
dont introduce the low quality stuff on ccnp coz professionals would just
get bugged off
it.

Why would the exam simulator give you the help option? And you should
always remember the full command.

The simulators from www.CiscoPress.com and www.RouterSim.com do support
the help command and abbreviated commands. But nothing beats real
equipment.

I think you would be surprised how many people do not know what conf t
really means.  Forcing people to use the full command makes them learn more
about
what it does.  We all should at least know what the full command does, then
and only then should we use the abbreviated versions

RE: The CCNA exam has changed effective 3-12-02 [7:37960]

2002-03-12 Thread Logan, Harold

The simulation that's on the web page is from a POS simulator they did
for the Network Academies; I doubt that's the same simulator that will
wind up on the tests. I looked around in the certification online
support and found this:

Command Lines 
 
  Question 
  What is the proper way to enter command lines during Cisco Career
Certification exams? 
 
  Answer 
  There are many ways to enter command lines into actual Cisco Routers.
The exam will accept all IOS commands and partial responses that an
actual Cisco Router will understand. For example: 'Show Config' or 'Sho
Config' or 'Sh Conf' - would be acceptable. 'Router # show ip protocol'
or 'router # show ip prot' - would be acceptable. The commands must
include the correct spacing, spelling and marks (#@!). 

I'd post a link, but it's through their "RightNow" deal and the word
wrap would pretty much kill it. If you want to read it, go to the online
support page at:

http://ciscocert.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ciscocert.cfg/php/enduser/home.php

(watch the wrap)

and search for "enter command lines".

hth,
Hal

2002-03-12 Thread Tom Lisa

The simulations they demo are the same type and topology configuration that
we use in
our academy curriculum.  Anyone wishing to practice them can get the
software by
purchasing one of the Academy Companion Guides (Year 1 or Year 2) from Cisco
Press.  The
simulations are on the CD that comes with the books, which are also
excellent study
references.

As Harold Logan pointed out, you have the option in the exam simulators to
enter the
full or partial command, unlike the simulator on the CDs.  It is the old
learn to walk
before you run philosophy.  As others have mentioned, I would think
simulations for the
CCNP exams can't be far away.

2002-03-12 Thread sam sneed

I still think it would be a waste to memorize the entire command. In the
real world you get the ? option so what point in memorizing everything.
They're better off testing us on harder configs than making us type out the
whole command and memorize the exact options. The CCNA is entry level and is
not bound to any specific hardware or IOS version. We all know that commands
are slightly different on the various routers and switches so it only makes
sense to give the ? option.
(example look at the difference in creating vlans on a 1900, 3500XL, and
2948GL-3)
There is no CCIE that would be able to survive  day without the ? option
just the same as there is no UNIX admin that would get by without typing man
"  "   or using some form of the -h option.

2002-03-12 Thread Mark Odette II

I've used both simulators from the sites you referred to ... and though they
give a little exposure, I found for the most part that they still were lame.
30-40% of the commands that the tutorials tell you to give in the simulator
don't actually work.  And you get a verrry limited help on only the commands
that the tutorial session is covering.  If you wanted to query help for a
command in a previous lab simulation, your S.O.L it doesn't allow it.

A personal gripe for the Switching CIM: It doesn't cover MLS :(  I would
expect this to be a more important topic of the subject than configuring
Multicast.  How many Small to Medium networks do you see using Multicast (I
know I haven't)... How many Small to Medium networks do you see using
MLS (I've seen at least a couple of those).

But... you are quite correct... Nothing beats the real equipment!

I think this is a great idea.  However, I'm halfway thru my CCNP
certification.  Is it going to be necessary or advisable to recert in the
600 track?  Please advise.

Jeff

I never use the full commands anymore.  Takes too much time.  You will find
when you get to the CCIE level that you don't have time for it and for the
most part forget the entire commands.  You just remember the abbreviated
ones.

Why would the exam simulator give you the help option? And you should
always remember the full command.

The simulators from www.CiscoPress.com and www.RouterSim.com do support
the help command and abbreviated commands. But nothing beats real
equipment.

I tried the simulation and it makes you type out every single command.
No
abreviations and no "?" allowed. Thats is retarded. If there going to
make
their simulation they should do it right, it is their software they're
simulating. I'd like to see anyone doing any half decent config without
using tab completion or "?".

My thoughts are that its a great idea, and should be applied to the CCNP
too, but the simulation should be as accurate as possible.If they're
going
to be half-assed about it don't do it at all.

According to what I see on the website, use the sample router simulator
they provide and you should have no problems.
The exam objectives have not changed, just the question format.

Ok, that's great! I invested in CCNA 640-507 books and now they change
over
to 607. I hope we can still use this material to study for the exam. Any
input will help.Thanks
