Hi all,
Today I passed switching with a score of 934 after passing ACRC an year
ago.
Next is support 2.0. I got course meterial for CIT ver 4.0
Is there any difference in the material of these two. Will the CIT
material will be
enough for support exam or I need any other book for Support exam?
Sounds like one of those clauses that got swamped a long time ago, I should
leave this sort of stuff to the lawyers who are always making impossible and
bad law. Most of them come from planet Zog anyway..far...far...away!

Hey gang! Can anyone recommend any security assessment tools for Cisco

Yep I'll second that. I used that book with one Boson exam to get an idea of

Your statement is incorrect.

Go to the Teletone web site:

I believe that the 1000 is an older product no longer manufactured. It may

Emutel makes a less expensive two port ISDN BRI emulator.
The Adtran 550 or 800 are great if you also want to do PRI. .

But aren't these exams adaptive? I.E. if you miss "preliminary" questions
on a topic, you'll get more of them... I don't know personally,
If you read the Halabi's book, then you should be good.
