Are all CCNP certifications 3 exams longs? And do they each cost 250?

Route and Switch are the first two exams (of three) for both CCNP Routing & Switching and CCDP/CCNP design whatever they call it now. ICND1 is a prerequisite for more than one (not all) CCNA certs...so there is some level of game-ability depending on what you need/want to get. Welcome to the certification arms race. Nobody with a weird birth mark on their head is gonna make it stop...

Marshall Louis posted:I have avoided this book because of the comments and ratings on Amazon...what has your experience been? I bought the Official Cert Guide rather than the FLG. It too had like, a page about Cisco EVN, but I remember multiple questions on it. (Multiple might have been like, 2, but I am salty as hell about that test.) The OCG is just like most Cisco books in that it contains a shitload of detail about everything. And then you get a pool of questions where there's only one that's even about BGP, and multiple questions about IPv6 poo poo. It was my fault for not getting better on v6, but there was little time spent on it in the class, so I figured on it having a much smaller showing in the question pool. I was wrong, this time. I had a feeling this would be how it went down; I spend most of my day on ASAs and first/second layer switches, so I do very little with routing. I had counted on this test being the hardest of the three. SWITCH will mostly be a matter of me relearning STP, and TSHOOT is what I do all day every day.

Been studying for 70-412. Federated services have always been a giant mystery to me but the Youtube videos from itfreetraining about ADFS (13 in total) are really, really good at explaining things and I encourage anyone else that is baffled by such matters to check the videos out. Super clear and simple explanations including some good analogies to help you remember things and walk-throughs on setting it up.

It's wordy and heavy as gently caress, which is appropriate for a textbook. I also have the FLGs for CCNA R&S and they did a pretty good job of preparing me for the CCNAX. I haven't done SWITCH yet but I know people who have used the book for it and did well.

For 300-115 Switch, the OCG and the foundation learning guide seem really good. The foundation learning guide seems to have some details the OCG and cbtnuggets/INE don't cover. G/l with route.

210-260 3rd attempt tomorrow afternoon. Spent the last week memorizing stupid bullshit about firepower and hammering out the exact steps for one of the sims I had trouble with. This is my last exam I have to take for WGU and if I don't pass it tomorrow I have no idea what I'm going to do, they definitely won't waive the class for me and I can't keep dropping $250 every other week. Feeling pretty good about it all things considered though, needed an 860 and scored 840 last time. Has anyone who reads this thread passed it?

I was in your boat in November, my term ended on November 30, 2015 and I was in the old CCNA Security track. I'm super glad I was able to take the old exam because it sounds like the new one is hosed!

It's definitely passable but just a pain in the rear end. There was a question over ntp that had me stumped but I'm pretty sure I figured it out. I'm sure I'll get it this time and hopefully they push out an updated OCG this year sometime for it.

Crunchtime posted:Taking Net+ this Friday. Anyone taken it recently? Big things to look for? The practical parts take a bit. I would highly advise marking them for review and circling back around to them at the end. Lots of troubleshooting, IPv6 vs IPv4, and protocol/port numbers. ymmv, but it's not too bad.

I managed to pass the first cert test for Citrix on the virtualization track (CCA-V) today, so if someone is curious about it (no one is curious), here's my observations. The instructor led class is good if you don't know anything about administrating Citrix but painfully dull if you do. The labs are good, they give you an entire hypervisor to play with that's pre-loaded with iso's and templates. It did a good job of preparing me for the simulation portion of the test but fell painfully short in the multiple choice area. Experience with my own production environment was a much larger benefit here but because we use MCS over PVS and haven't really had many problems there was a lot I felt I didn't know and had to make educated guesses on. Now to decide if I want to go for the next cert, CCP-V.

3rd fail in as many weeks. 840 last time and 850 this time. The sim that's bugged I pointed out (again at a different test center) and wrote a long rear end comment on what was wrong with it and the exact steps I took. Going to file a formal complaint with Cisco and see if I can get them to pass me for it because I know what I was trying to do is supposed to work but wouldn't.

Yeah the most frustrating part for me is how easy the lab would be if it was working correctly. I'm probably going to go for attempt 4 on Friday, making it 1K I've spent on a buggy test. I'll need to cram some more on EAP, ISE and general BYOD stuff first

Allow me to be a major bummer and say that as someone who works with all of the products covered in the exam on a day to day basis, almost none of what is covered is actually useful in the field.

Jesus christ dude, I spent 350 on the eLearning materials for IINS 3.0 and 250 on a voucher so far. My first two attempts were covered under tuition. Maybe I'll get a bug bounty for leaving such detailed info on what exactly is wrong or something. Do you have a good source for information on the things you mention? I found all the materials I looked through severely lacking in those areas as well.

Brian Krebs yelled at a Cisco rep today and they're "rethinking" that. As for the BYOD stuff , yeah thankfully. I work for Cisco and half my team are ISE experts. I work on Sourcefire so at least I've been getting 100% on that section

I mean it seems like you're throwing money away at this point, which I dunno maybe you're rolling in loving cash, but otherwise it seems stupid to keep banging your head and wallet against it. I mean I understand you want to graduate, but what if they don't refund you for poo poo being broken? Then you're out hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

I've only actually paid for the voucher once which was for this 3rd attempt. first two times I figured it was my fault for not preparing or paying close enough attention but now I am absolutely sure it's bugged and keeping me from passing. Going to wait to hear back from Cisco on my case and take a break from studying. End of March is my end of semester and if I could have passed it by then and written my capstone paper I would be done with the degree 6 months early and saved on a full term's tuition.

What's the deal with DNSLint? Most MS command line utilities have names that correlate to what they do, but I can't figure out DNSLint. Bill Gates needed a utility to tell him when his DNS needed a new filter?
