RE: Switching, 640-504
The one thing that helped me through this exam was to download from Cisco the specification sheets that have the nice diagrams showing the front and back of the gear. These visual representations gave me the ability to answer some of the configuration questions about the different units. I am a visual hands on person so your mileage might vary. -Original Message- From: Bradley J.

Flashcards and repeated drilling... that's the ticket. It's like how your "times tables" used to be taught in public schools... >From: "Bradley J. Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Bradley J.

Switching, 640-504
This exam is sitting on my head and crushing it. *So* many different switches to remember, all their cards that they do or do not support (and in which slots), how large their CAM tables are, how many ports, which user interface comes with which version of software...yadda yadda yadda. So, instead of asking "is all of this really on the test?" like some wannabe paper chaser, I'll ask a slightly more creative question: has anyone come up with any mnemonic devices which might help one memorize all of these minutiae? Thanks in advance - Bradley Wilson CCNA, CCDA, MCSE, NNCSS, CNX-A, MCT, CTT, and hopefully CCNP if I can memorize all this switching nonsense. ;-)
