You can take the 3.0 exam to complete your CCNP but you will be CCNP 2.0
certified, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I didn't find CIT that difficult. Just make sure you know all the debug

when there is a problem with the switch. 

The rest of the test is common logic basically.

Lowering of standards on CCNP 2.0?

2001-01-31 Thread Geoff Zinderdine

Listmembers,

I wrote the BSCN on Monday, and I must say that I was
underwhelmed.  I read Halabi and Moy's book on OSPF a
year or so ago so they weren't exactly top of mind,
and used the BSCN guide.  Even using this guide almost
exclusively I scored well over 900 with ten days
study.  

I hope that I just got an easy batch of questions from
the pool.  It doesn't bode well for the value of this
certification if the bar is significantly lowered.  I
hope that they put the pass up to 790 as they did with
the ACRC.  Even at this level, it would still be a
relatively easy exam.

Does anybody else feel the same way?  I don't want to
see the value of this certification which so many of
us are spending a considerable amount of money and
time on plummet because of a relaxing of standards.

If so, perhaps we could write individually or as a
group to Cisco to recommend a reevaluation of their
passing grades/exam development.  If I am way out in
left field on this, my apologies to the list for
lowering the s/n ratio:P

that is Cisco's principal corporate goal.

I honestly don't know if someone in Cisco is doing something as 
rational as saying what tasks should a BSCN certificated person be

But if they have, it may not be inconsistent to lower standards if

Hello there,

I think BCRAN and CIT are ok .
for BCSN you need to have the knowledge of ACRC ( check the exam outlines to
know what to read  from this book )   you need know BGP .
for BCMSN you need to have the knowledge of CLSC ( check the exam outlines
to know what to read  from this book  )  multicasting .
but the best think is to get the book which are relevant to the exam I will
say.

I hope that will help

RE: Lowering of standards on CCNP 2.0?

2001-01-31 Thread Kathy Mihalisko

Geoffrey, I disagree somewhat. For me what's valuable is the
learning/knowledge acquisition process. Too many folks come to see an exam
or a cert as the be-all end-all. Which is understandable, because everyone
wants a reward for all their hard work. But it's more satisfying in an
enduring kind of way to take stock of everything you made yourself learn
that you did not know before, and otherwise might not make the time to
learn. Before BSCN I didn't know jack about BGP, but now I'm better informed
and that in itself is a good thing.

Second, the availability  quality of study materials for CCNP v2 are
improved over the situation that existed for v1. That helps a lot. In
addition, it seems Cisco aimed to bring the scope of v2 questions more in
line with its official course content. That, too, helps, and I think is a
welcome development. My first exam was the old CLSC--I had 2 obscure
questions on Cat 3xxx hardware that I could not, later, find the answers to
in any published Cisco documentation. What was the point of asking such
questions?

Third, I don't think a Cisco cert will be as devalued as the perfectly
worthless MCSE cert anytime soon. I've been teaching MCSE classes for a
number of years and sometimes hear from students: "Why did you spend so much
time on the subnetting stuff, it was not on the TCP/IP exam!" Or, "I don't
have time to come to class, just tell me where I can find the Transcenders."
etc. etc. Many hiring managers are aware of this devaluation, which was
brought about by Microsoft putting Marketing above everything else. If Cisco
starts to go down that road, then we can be concerned, but not to worry yet!

I would say to a certain extent you are right with the possible exception
being BGPv4.  To me, the test was challenging but not that difficult,
however some of the questions that I got on BGPv4 did not reflect the
materials that I studied regarding the protocol.  I have since acquired
Halabi's second addition though; and must say that it is a good read.

I will agree with you on the fact that the exams were easier than the 1.0

however, I did take BCMSN, BCRAN, and CIT 2.0 and they were very easy. There
are allot of people who are passing these exams. I believe that considering
that Cisco released these exams not to long ago, they will raise the passing
percentage in a couple months.

From what I have noticed, Cisco will take all the statistics from these
exams and evaluate where they need to adjust the score to make it that much
harder to pass. I hope this is the case. Just my 2cents.

 Hi there,

 I completed my CCNP 2.0 on 3rd Jan. 2001 (scores between 82-89%) within a
 space of 6 weeks.

 I feel the high standard from CCNP 1.0 to CCNP 2.0 exams has dropped
 considerably.  I failed my ACRC exam back in August and was forced to
 abandon it due to the expiry date.  ACRC was a good standard exam.  That
was
 the true level of testing!  The passing score for the old CCNP 1.0 exams
was
 79%, whilst now (for CCNP 2.0) it's a sheepishly low 69%.

 I managed to pass the new BSCN and CIT exams in under three weeks without
 ANY prior Cisco experience.  I feel the passing score should be increased
to
 79% instead if 69%, otherwise CCNP 2.0 will end up flooding the market and
 decreasing it's value like Microsoft exams.

 I don't feel Cisco should be dropping their standards in Professional
 Certifications.

 Just my thoughts...What do you guys reckon?

2001-01-14 Thread Craig Columbus

I haven't taken any of the 2.0 exams, but those I've spoken to who've taken 
1.0 and 2.0 concur with your assessment.  Why did Cisco "dumb-down" the 
tests?  Probably because they're trying to find that delicate balance 
between having enough certified people in the field to help sell their 
products and making the tests just difficult enough to ensure that the 
certified people aren't complete morons.  Remember, Cisco isn't creating 
certifications to help our careers...they're creating the certifications to 
drive their product placement in the marketplace.  If it's hard to find 
someone "certified" to maintain the equipment, a customer isn't as likely 
to buy the product.  Personally, I'd love to see Cisco make the exams much 
more difficult, but I can't see that it will ever happen.
The new CCNP track has made my job more difficult.  I can no longer take 
the CCNP cert to mean that the candidate actually knows anything about 
networking.  Therefore, all my candidates now get a comprehensive tech 
interview.  You'd be surprised the number of CCNPs that can't explain basic 
subnetting or the differences between distance-vector and link-state protocols.

Hello all,

I've heard expert, meaning knowlegable and very experienced, CCIEs say
*exactly* the same thing about other CCIEs after interviews... i.e., "don't
understand or can't explain basic concepts."  These people aren't morons,
some folks just have different goals and views concerning their CCIE and
networking carrers.

I'd say that it's all very relative, some people have a passion for what
they do and others don't.  Being that I just went through the entire 2.0
CCNP track, I do agree that it was easier than I expected and the assessment
that this "easement" is "sales driven," is probably very accurate.

Nonetheless, I still hold a certain amount of respect for anyone
successfully passing the CCIE certification - it's just not easy!  I believe
that Cisco will soon "soften" the CCIE track as well - this is already
becoming evident in the multi-rating CCIE system.

RE: CCNP 2.0 completed and is a joke!!!

2001-01-14 Thread Chuck Larrieu

CCIE's put their pants on the same way you do.

I don't think it's a matter of knowing or not knowing their stuff. But I
have found that in some cases some CCIE's can be either so arrogant or so
insecure, that they will always be right in a discussion, whether they are
or not. This can lead to problems.

I have had a CCIE tell me I was wrong about something about which I had done
extensive research, and even had a Cisco bug report number, for example. In
this particular case, he was wrong, but he arrogantly stated that he had
never heard of such a bug and doubted it existed.

Something to keep in mind.

The dozen or so I've had contact with were sharp as they come.  Half were
with Cisco, the other half with other firms we've sub-contracted with.

I will say, as some have, that having "the number" can make some of these
folks very arrogant, but I run into that enough I doesn't bother me, I'm
just here to get the job done.  If I need to, I find the documentation I
need to go up the chain of command and get things done, but I've never had
such a run-in with a CCIE.  Although, many of these CCIE's have been very
friendly and helpful.

I have used several of the CBT sustems Cisco 
Technologies CBTs and must say that I would prefer good books, Boson 
exams, lists such as this and good hands on to them. To me, they seemed 
slow, difficult to navigate, not completely thorough with regards to the 
material and quite frankly not in depth enough. I think that they are 
useful however to glean a base knowledge of a technology but as far as being an 
indepth study aid, I would think not.

CCNP 2.0 FOUNDATION EXAM - PASSED

2000-10-09 Thread Jose Luis De Abreu

Hi Friends,

I passed this test last Friday, it is hard because the complexity and
the level of knowledge required... one have to master all the three
sections (Routing, Switching and Remote Access) to get a passing score,
otherwise a FAIL grade is received.

Thanks to all the people that make this group a tool for those pursuing
Cisco certifications... hope I can help some others as well.

... next step SUPPORT and then CCIE written.

Re: CCIE written vs CCNP 2.0

2000-09-27 Thread Phil Barker

I haven't,

but I have sat about 6 mock CCIE tests with
certificationzone.com. I think you need to buff up on
dial-up for the CMTD or equivalent and the CLSC that I
sat was mainly a memory test of how many ports and
what type are available with which cards. (Pretty 
useless info required unless www.cisco.com ceased to
exist). 
I reckon you can pass the ACRC and CIT without any
further work though.

Regards,

Phil.

Re: CCNP 2.0 books

2000-09-26 Thread Jim Erickson

I'm glad you mentioned this, Paul. I would never have thought of this, since
I don't browse the Groupstudy site regularly, but do pick up book
suggestions from reading the list via the newsfeed.

Is there anyway to give Groupstudy a referral bonus if a particular book is
not shown on the Groupstudy bookstore page? For example, I was thinking
about purchasing Inside Cisco IOS Software Architecture later this year and
certainly wouldn't mind having the invaluable groupstudy.com get the
referral bonus, but I notice its not pictured on the page.

RE: CCNP 2.0 books

2000-09-21 Thread Miller, Nathan (AZ15)

The Coriolis Exam Cram Books are out for the 640-50X tests.  They do not
label them BSCN etc.  The books are named Routing, Switching, Remote Access
and Support but they specify on the cover that they are written for the
640-50X exams.  I have purchased them and am using them in conjunction with
the cisco press books for CCNP 1.0.  I take the first test today so I have
no way to tell you how they compare to the exams as study guides.

The ISBNs for the books follow:
Routing 1576106330 
Switching 1576106349 
Remote Access 1576104370 
Support 1576106810 

The site http://www.bestbookbuys.com/ allows you to search multiple book
store sites for pricing etc.  You provide the name isbn etc and it provides
a list of stores sorted by price.

Nathan Miller

What routers for ccna 2.0 and ccnp 2.0?

2000-09-12 Thread Don Crow

I am going to obtain two routers for my preparation for the CCNA 2.0, and
CCNP 2.0. track. I would appreciate any suggestions on what type of routers
to get. I have seen people recommend two 2501 routers while other say get
one with a token ring interface.
I was given the book CCNA Study Guide exam 640-407 by Todd Lammle. What book
would be a good addition to this that would cover the additional information
for the 640-507 test.
Any suggestions on either of these matters would be appreciated.

Re: What routers for ccna 2.0 and ccnp 2.0?

2000-09-12 Thread Stuart Laubstein

You might try a 2501 and then a 2503(ethernet)or a 2504 (token ring). The 
2504 will probably be a lot cheaper(400-600 bucks maybe) but you will need a 
computer with a token ring card etc for it to to be useful as token ring 
test box. ISDN will be the same for both of course. For CCNP you might need 
a 3rd router and or a switch etc to properly try out all the technologies.

If you use the 640-407 book from Sybex, make sure to download the "errata"
and "new chapter 11" from their web site.

http://www.sybex.com/cgi-bin/rd_err_temp.pl?2381err.html

http://www.sybex.com/cgi-bin/rd_up_temp.pl?2381up.html

The errata makes the book much better as it corrects many of the errors in
the book.  The new chapter 11 adds more WAN information.

Enough already with the whole Layer 1/Hub debacle.

The McGraw Hill stuff isn't that bad. It's a case of either-or when choosing
between Cisco Press and Mcgraw Hill.


[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

 Try layer 1. Hubs and repeateras are purely physical. They don't process
 data in any way, shape, or form. All they do is move bits from one port to
 another. They are focused on BITS, not packets, segments, or frames. Check
 your OSI layer functions.

 Bridges and switches are layer 2
 Routers and MLS cards are layer 3  4 (depending on whether you're
 switching/routing by net address or protocol/port)

If you disassemble a _cheap_ repeater (Like the kind used as cable 
extenders, You'll find mosfet's configured as amplifiers.  The analog signal 
varies depending on the physical Layer you are using.  I.e. a rs-232

Repeaters are digital devices that regenerate the DIGITAL signal for
retransmission.  AMPLIFIERS amplify analog signals.

Repeaters and Hubs are Physical Layer Devices.  Repeaters amplify analog
signals to reduce attenuation.  Hubs provide multiple connection points for
a single network segment.  Hubs are sometimes called multi-port repeaters.

Switches and Bridges are Layer 2 devices.  They look at the Layer 2 address
(MAC address), and make decisions about the destination of a packet based on
the information contained therein.

21st, but their help desk says the date's been pushed back to September
21st.

I am now pursuing my CCNP also and want to use the Cisco materials for
studying. But looking at Cisco's web site it looks like they recommend BSCN
first. But that Cisco book is not released yet. Are the four CCNP courses
independent or does each rely on the preceeding courses?

 Agreed. In my experience of self-studying for MS, Novell, and Cisco certs,
 I've found each company's official curriculum to be a better source of
 information than any third party material I've tried...especially for
 overall knowledge and not just getting a passing score on an exam.

2000-09-07 Thread Jean-Michel Roberts

Hi,

I plan on buying both books - Internet Routing Architectures and the BCSN
book from CiscoPress.

The book (Internet Routing Architectures) obviously covers all routing
protocols I suppose. Does it also cover OSPF and other elements required for
the BSCN exam as well?

Do you think that these two books are sufficient for the BSCN exam... do you
recommend anything else? (I will also be looking for lots of other resources
on the Internet- RFCs and all)

Thanks,

J-M

Internet Routing Architectures.  It mostly focuses on BGP.  Probably the

2000-09-07 Thread Ejay Hire

Repeaters and Hubs are Physical Layer Devices.  Repeaters amplify analog 
signals to reduce attenuation.  Hubs provide multiple connection points for 
a single network segment.  Hubs are sometimes called multi-port repeaters.

Switches and Bridges are Layer 2 devices.  They look at the Layer 2 address 
(MAC address), and make decisions about the destination of a packet based on 
the information contained therein.

Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 by Jeff Doyle from Cisco Press is an excellent book on
routing. A must have. The Halabi book is more oriented towards BGP.

To an earlier post. Best to take CIT last. You can start with any of the
other three. There are plenty of books for BCRAN and BCMSN available now.

A layer 2 device would be a bridge or a switch.  A hub is just a multiport
repeater, which just relays signaling.  It can't see the MAC address of a
NIC, so it doesn't care where the data ends up.  Hence, layer 1.

This is correct, CCNA 1.0 does count toward CCNP 2.0.  I went and took the

one before you try to tackle the CCNP tests anyway.

Confusing eh?  Hope this helps :

CCNP 2.0 accepts CCNA 1 or 2.

I am a CCNA 1.0 and a CCNP 2.0, which means that I will not need to worry 
about my certs expiring for 3 years from the date I got my CCNP.

If I had never upgraded to CCNP, then I would expire 3 years from my CCNA.  
When I progress to CCIE, then there will be a whole bunch of different 
requirements.  (  2 words :  Aca - Pullco  :D  )

Repeaters and Hubs are Physical Layer Devices.  Repeaters amplify analog
signals to reduce attenuation.  Hubs provide multiple connection points for
a single network segment.  Hubs are sometimes called multi-port repeaters.

Switches and Bridges are Layer 2 devices.  They look at the Layer 2 address
(MAC address), and make decisions about the destination of a packet based on
the information contained therein.

2000-09-07 Thread andy lennon

You are wrong there,

Think about this:
How can you regenerate a digital signal?  By definition a digital signal is
made up of discrete values. If some of these are lost, which is why you
would want to regenerate the signal, how could you do this?

The last person was right with their definition, after all, if you are
talking about computers then you are talking about electron flows and these
are by nature analogue (ignoring quantum theory which is still a complete
mess. etc etc).

2000-09-07 Thread Karen . Young


Try layer 1. Hubs and repeateras are purely physical. They don't process
data in any way, shape, or form. All they do is move bits from one port to
another. They are focused on BITS, not packets, segments, or frames. Check
your OSI layer functions.

Bridges and switches are layer 2
Routers and MLS cards are layer 3  4 (depending on whether you're
switching/routing by net address or protocol/port)

RE: Study Materials for CCNP 2.0 Track?

2000-09-07 Thread Steve and Monica Brokaw

Well, please so me something other than your opinion to back that up,
because here's what I read:

"repeater -- a physical layer device that forwards bits, in contrast to
bridges and routers, which forward packets."  Interconnections, Second
Edition Radia Perlman Page 530

"Repeaters fall into two categories: amplifiers and signal-regenerating
repeaters.  Amplifiers simply amplify the entire incoming signal.
Unfortunately, they amplify both the signal and the noise.
Signal-regenerating repeaters create an exact duplicate of incoming data by
identifying it amidst the noise, reconstructing it, and retransmitting only
the desired information.  This reduces the noise.  The original signal is
duplicated, boosted to its original strength, and sent."  MCSE: Networking
Essentials Study Guide Chellis, Perkins, Strebe Page 393-394.

"Repeater -- A physical layer device that only regenerates a bit stream.  No
intelligence is associated with a repeater"  ACRC Exam Cram  Morgan, Shroyer
pg 410.

"repeater



Device that regenerates and propagates electrical signals between two
network segments. See also segment. "

Cut and Paste from CCO
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/demos/ccna-demo/glossary/r.ht
m


Now I suppose we could argue that "bit" doesn't mean digital, but then we'd
have to argue exactly what is digital and is anything digital and then we'd
have to get into Manchester encoding etc, etc.  However, if you plan to get
it right on any test you take, you ought to use these definitions, I did.

Study Materials for CCNP 2.0 Track?

2000-09-06 Thread T. Miller

I am readying myself to start in on the CCNP track, having completed the
CCNA 1.0 back in Feb/99 (and being on hiatus from Cisco work until now).

Does anyone know if/when Cisco Press books will be available for the CCNP
2.0 track?

Also, I'm considering a specialization (i.e. an extra exam from what I
understand) in either security or Voice-over-IP...any advice?

Thanks.

Agreed. In my experience of self-studying for MS, Novell, and Cisco certs,
I've found each company's official curriculum to be a better source of
information than any third party material I've tried...especially for
overall knowledge and not just getting a passing score on an exam.

 Hi Tracy,

 I'm just starting to study for my CCNP as well.  I believe--someone
correct
 me if I'm wrong on this--that all the books for the CCNP 2.0 are available
 save for the BSCN (Building Scalable Cisco Networks) which corresponds to
 the Routing 2.0 exam.  I'm presently studying for the Switching 2.0 exam,
 and the BCMSN (Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks) Cisco Press
book
 is available for that for certain.  I believe the BCRAN and CIT books are
 also available though.  Best of luck.

 ~Seth~

Will CCNA 1.0 counts toward CCNP 2.0 certification?

2000-09-06 Thread Richard Tran

I already have my CCNA 1.0. Do I have to take the CCNA 2.0 to count toward
CCNP 2.0 ?

Re: ccnp 2.0

2000-09-05 Thread Casey Fahey
Hi Jason,  You are a 1.0 by virtue of your CLSC being 1.0. When you take CLSC 2.0 you will become CCNP 2.0.  For me, I am a 2.0 since I took all 2.0 exams except for CCNA, which goes either way.  For detailed certification paths see www.galton.com/~cisco .

The only thing that has changes is the name.  Super-easy test.
