If you get an IOS image for a router that supports a switch card, you can use that to gently caress with switch commands.

Baconroll posted:I've done the 11g OCA and OCP - For the OCP I'd suggest use a virtualbox system and do endless try-it/break-it/fix-it for all of the recovery scenarios (manual and RMAN). With a virtualbox machine you can just use a snapshot to roll things back if you really manage to trash it. I searched for the books in the google play store and was overwhelmed by the amount of books available. There are some books like the Installation & Administration Exam Guide, but I don't know if this would be enough to pass that exam or if I need to read another book before this one.

SaltLick posted:Maybe try one of the Chris Bryant videos from Udemy? The short segments may be easier to follow and you can lab along side it seems. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the advice, but especially this. Almost at the 10% mark already and it's been much easier to focus on the short segments. It's paced just fast enough to not be boring, but not so challenging that I need to rewatch anything. I won't say the guy is exactly entertaining, but the best you can hope for with these seems to be that they don't have some personality quirk that actively pisses you off, so I'm happy.

Thanks, OP, this was very helpful. I'm already Apple certified and do a lot of management on the command line, so I think the RHCSA will be the next step and should help me land some jobs in non-Apple or mixed environments.

Any recommendations for getting started on my MCSA 2012? I have a decent bit of working experience with 2012 (R2), am just looking for a decent book to prepare for the exams (starting with 70-410, then 70-411 and probably 74-409). The reviews on Amazon are pretty much useless, but the goon hivemind has never let me down.

I took a class through a community college and we used this: http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-EHEP003082,miniSiteCd-MOAC.html I don't know how useful the book would be for you, but the MLO Reg card might be a real asset. It's expensive but it gives you around 20 online labs for 70-410. There's ones for 70-411 and 412 too. These labs are virtual machines so you aren't railroaded into doing the lab the way it wants you to.

Didn't pass my CCENT exam Thankfully, I understand what I did wrong and can refocus on that. 600 with a 800 needed to pass so I wasn't too far off.

That's actually really far off.

# ? Jul 13, 2015 17:11 |

I think the Cisco ones are 300-1000, so a score of 800 is about 70%. a score of 600 is about 40% so its a bit of a gap. Keep hitting the revision and you'll get there

Is Security+ as easy as it looks? I'm taking my test Saturday and everything I've run into so far seems like either fairly common knowledge or very surface level (pick the acronym that's an encryption protocol!). I'm almost worried that I'm going in overconfident.

I've been pretty sporadic in my studying, but I've got the Gibson book and have been watching Professor Messer & CBT Nuggets videos. Honestly prefer the Professor Messer ones... kinda sad that I won't be able to use his stuff for anymore certs.

Ozu posted:The Darril Gibson is the go-to. You probably wont even need it to be honest. Yeah, I'm fairly certain I could pass without it, but so far I've got a perfect streak of passing certs on my first attempt and I don't want Sec+ to be the one to gently caress that up. If the college will give me a voucher for it, I may just go in blind. Thanks for the book rec.

Messer is good as well. Cbtnuggets is helpful, but don't burn your free trial for it. I also bought Gibson's audio offerings, which are the shaded parts if the book and the Q&A.

I am currently working on getting the CCNA and am intending to get a Microsoft server cert and preferably specialize in security. But have zero experience working at corporate job or really even in a cubicle farm. Am I going to have trouble getting a job even if I have the certs? Also, I really want to get into pentesting but going for the Microsoft server cert just in case I have trouble finding work. Is it viable to just jump straight into security and skip any kind of server management? I am open to taking a lower paying job as a help desk monkey just to pad out my resume, would a ccnet be good enough for that or should I go for the A+ as well just to be safe? Did some of the practice questions and was able to answer almost all of them with little effort.

A MCSA or CCNA prior to any real experience would easily get your foot in the door somewhere as desktop support. You wouldn't need A+ unless you really wanted to for that basic desktop support knowledge which you would pick up on the job in a matter of weeks anyway. I would go ahead and pick up Security+ however since that is a baseline security cert until you can go down the CISSP route George H.W. Cunt fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Jul 15, 2015 |

MCSA without any experience would be very difficult. It wouldn't hurt to have one of the three tests so you can claim to be an MCP.
