Initially I was thinking of setting up a linux solution so that our computers don't have to be windows machines but I suppose getting the new server 2012 R2 and setting up AD is easier? Linux can authenticate with AD through various means (Pam_LDAP+pam_krb5, winbind, centrify, etc). It doesn't bar you from centralized auth at all.

Okay, going to bite the bullet and schedule ROUTE for the 6th of June. How important is it to get the LSA's for OSPF down? EIGRP I have down, BGP, I can have down if I glance over my notes again, IPv6 knowledge, I'm pretty keen on. Anything else I should really scrub up my knowledge on?

I'll definitely work on these. Thanks! I have some videos to watch, as I'm almost finished up with Odom's book. It did a great job filling in the holes that were left over from CCNA, and I really want to get this exam passed, not so much for the CCNA refresh, but more for the fact that I can take a break from education for a month and go on a vacation. trunkwontopen fucked around with this message at 00:05 on May 17, 2014 |

There's also a guy who ran a kickstarter to find making videos that would cover the entire ccna syllabus. I'm posting from my phone so don't have the YouTube links, but search for them - so far they seem really, really good.

You can actually get enough credits through CBTs that you pretty much just need to watch a bunch of videos and print out the course completion certificates and then upload them to CompTIA to renew.

As an IT manager with 8 years in the field, and only an A+ from 2005, I think I should get a cert or two just to have something current and also for a small academic challenge. I still do a fair amount of technical stuff (small team, internal IT), but I'm not too interested in cramming a bunch of Cisco/Microsoft info. I'm thinking of seeking either a Security+ or going with ITIL/PMP, I see those 2 fields being relevant to my current career path. How does this sound? Anything I should be considering instead?

If you're in a stable position I'd definitely say bang out ITIL in a week or so and then actually study for a PMP. A lot of our middle IT management that was laid off during outsourcing had a very hard time getting equivalent positions elsewhere as they no longer had any discernible technical ability. Project management is a good way to stay needed.

I did not hear about this course until March which is when I waitlisted. Hopefully I should get in soon. I hear... not so great things about the course itself but with other resources it is mainly needed just to meet the course requirement for VCP.

Can anyone suggest any courses/classes for Cisco VoIP or CUCM? Search is down and I didn't see anything in the OP. I've used ShoreTel in the past and I've jumped on this as best I can but my employer is willing to pay for a basic 101 sort of course as well as a little more of an advanced course. They'd like it to be in a classroom setting, on-site wherever it is (basically not online). Seattle area is desired.

Has a lot changed on the CCENT/CCNA exams from 2012 to 2014? I've been watching CCNA lecture videos that cover all of the to-know topics in the CCNA section of the OP, but I don't want to have holes of knowledge come exam time and don't want to waste money on additinal resources I won't need.

I've kind of stopped with the CISSP for now because feh, but I'm looking for some easy certs to bang out before I get back to the states. I'm thinking ITIL foundations and CCNA: Wireless or CCDA. Is ITIL Foundations seriously a study for a week and pass kind of test?

Does anyone have any experience with THESE videos for CCENT / CCNA training? I was gifted a Groupon for them recently. I'm going to start studying for my CCENT with my long term goals of getting at least my CCNP. Are there any sort of guidelines for how long it takes to learn the material and pass the exams? Should I expect to be doing one of these a year or more quickly than that? I've been working in the NOC at a local telco for a few years, and I'd like to transition over to our engineering group. I've have a solid grasp of IP telephony, but I wouldn't say I know sub-netting / networking. I'd basically be going into this as someone who was new to it all, but knew enough random bits and pieces to sound like I knew what I was talking about if I was talking to a layman.

S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:Does anyone have any experience with THESE videos for CCENT / CCNA training? I was gifted a Groupon for them recently. I studied for the CCENT/CCNA for about 30 hours each, and prior to my current job I had been a professional cook since 18 (I'm 25 now). Passed both the tests with flying colors, actually I think I gave them way too much credit. The CCNA really is an entry level cert so I wouldn't stress it. I would watch the CBTNuggets videos on the course and follow along by repeating everything Jeremy does in every video with GNS3. I wouldn't mimic his environment exactly - you're looking to use GNS3 as a tool to apply what you just learned and make sure you got all of it. The simple act of googling around to set up GNS3 and then figuring out how it works and how it relates to your computer, and then googling around to fill in the blanks between what you learned in the videos is way better than any book, in my opinion. Of course, I still bought and read through the Sybex CCNA R&S book (Todd Lammle) and did all of the practice tests before taking the test. The CCENT in particular was very, very easy Turns out you can not know a lot of stuff and still pass the test. I didn't get a higher sign-on bonus with my current employer because I studied OSPF an extra week and got a 993, and to be honest no employer is going to let you even touch their OSPF/EIGRP configs with a CCNA and no experience anyway. fake edit: If any employer would like to let me touch OSPF with a CCNA and no experience, I'm willing to relocate.

Do this and maybe find some reputable site that sells A+ lab practice exams? http://www.professormesser.com/. His videos are all free. The only thing content-wise you won't really get from him is lab practice. I wouldn't recommend doing anything that seems to look remotely like a brain dump, especially for labs. Definitely as far as the labs go be able to identify different parts on a motherboard. Also it seems dumb, but try to learn the naming structure of RAM, speeds of different types of transmission media, and connectors. The A+ exam seems to like to make sure you know a bunch of stuff that you'll only know for the exam and then Google if you ever need to know it again. Still, it has gotten my foot in the door a few times on interviews so far. eonwe fucked around with this message at 23:49 on May 25, 2014 |

It would be nice to knock out the CCENT / CCNA in the next 3-4 months. I just wasn't sure if that was reasonable.

Jeremy does a really good job of taking difficult-ish concepts for someone new like me to understand. I heard so much complaining about subnetting, etc and after watching his videos it was a piece of cake. My advisor told me I should try to get subnetting to under a couple of minutes to have time for the rest of the test, and depending on exactly what I'm doing with subnetting it is well under that. I think I'll be taking my CCENT in a few weeks, and I attribute most of my knowledge of the concepts they test on to his videos.

You might be able to pass the test after 30 hours if you knew exactly which topics to study, but I really would not have confidence in actually knowing the material enough to interview for it.
