In case you wanted to start the VMware desktop certification path, I strongly suggest to avoid the view ICM 7.0 ondemand course. I have just completed it and there are lots of content issues(typos, cut&paste from old releases that are possibly misleading, even straight up wrong diagrams/slides) and the lab hasn't been correctly provisioned(RDSH had an expired license in my case). Go for a instructor led course for 7.3 instead.

Hi, I'd like to do the VMware VCPDCV 6.5 delta exam. Do you know any good study resources? My last VMware official course (view 7 ECM) was an absolute waste of time(wrong info, copy/pasted slides and so on) so I'd like to avoid them if possible.

Done the vcp-dcv 6.5 delta exam. Doable but stay on your toes for questions about migration procedures, varied maximums and the big bullet points on the what's new list. EDIT: Did any of you guys took any pearson vue exams recently? Did they made you not just remove personal items, but clear pockets and check if you got anything hidden in your trousers legs? I had less body checks while going in state buildings. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Sep 6, 2018 |

Judge Schnoopy posted:I'm taking the VCP6-NV exam on Thursday. I don't remember anybody in this thread saying they've taken it. Any other insights on VCP in general? Tons of 'select 2' or 'choose all that apply' type answers? Was the content reasonable, or did it feel like a weird mix of gotcha questions and sales-pitch poo poo? I did the test, it's exactly like any vcp test, everything is a pick one or many, no complex simulations or anything. Like always check for double or triple negatives. I cannot find the blogposts i used to study for mine but i would suggest you take a look at http://buildvirtual.net/vcp-nv-objectives-study-guide/ and http://everything-virtual.com/vmware-study-guides/vcp-nv-study-guide/ Keep in mind that the first vcp you take is made from two exams, the generic vsphere one(which is chock full of sales/licensing/product lineup questions) and the product specific exam(which is all technical with a very limited amount of licensing questions). Quality wise i would rank my vcp tests in the following order: 1. DCV (everything is product specific and i've never found issues with the quizzes) 2. NV (once they start doing network specific quiz their phrasing may lead to double intendres but it's still decent) 3. DTM (pure junk, it's a lottery to get quizzes which won't gently caress you over with old product issues or not in the syllabus) SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Oct 30, 2018 |

Judge Schnoopy posted:Cool, thanks! I'll search through the study guides and make sure I have an understanding of everything on there. Anything in particular you felt tripped up on during the NV exam? I had exactly zero vxlan questions but several is is and ospf questions. Keep in mind that vcp nv is a medium to low tier in the hierarchy, you need to know how the protocol works, what you need to prepare to set it up in your infra and how to set it up in your nsx environment, more than that is vcap scope.

Judge Schnoopy posted:this distresses me because I know somebody at work who took it, and they said they had one OSPF question that covered the bare basics, but tons of VXLAN questions. So either he doesn't remember the exam clearly, or there's a huge array of topics covered by the test and I'll have to be ready for all of them. Protip (for this exam and everything in the world), chill. Going there all nervous means you will throw answers you know, relax, read the guides chapters on ospf and route protocols and don't stress yourself. Even if you cock up the ospf questions you need to throw off several other questions to get burned. My failed VCP exams were a litany of wrong answers not a couple so answer what you can, mark the ones you have no idea and proceed till the end. If the ones you are on the edge are a handful just yolo it out(like i will admit i did on my nv since i am not a network dude) if half of them are marked tho try to read them all and pick the ones you are more certain as a reference/North star to answer the rest.

Judge Schnoopy posted:I mean, I have 8 certifications, this certainly isn't my first rodeo. But I'm always nervous going into an exam from a vendor I haven't tested with before. I failed the Linux+ because I assumed it would be CompTIA style and not LPIC style, which was way different. Once I knew how to study I crushed the thing, so I'm trying to make sure I'm studying correctly for this VCP. My employer have never paid for my certs(they only paid for the courses, which in VMware case are stupid expensive while the exams are almost reasonable, by having a ccna you saved yourself a 3 grand mandatory ICM course) which i will admit is a better option. If you gently caress up the exam is on you and nobody is going to judge/nag you if you fail. Having my employer oversee the exams would be cumbersome at best and a mayor pain in the rear end. I wasn't being funny/high and mighty/condescending. Stressing/crunching out the day before the exam have always lead to gently caress ups on my exams, so i was just pointing out that panicking about something you don't know much isn't going to help you. That's all. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Oct 30, 2018 |

Diva Cupcake posted:One week ago I received this email that my VCP6-DCV is expiring. There is still a catch if you read the doc, you need to stay within three major releases of the exam or you will need to retake it from scratch. Happy as a clam(we are going back to the vcp4/5 era where you updated your cert when you wanted it and the cert was still valid for older versions) as there was not that big of a knowledge update doing dcv 6.x deltas exams(the sole cert that did shed/changed content was dtm as a good chunk of software making the horizon suite was put into end of life)

Jaded Burnout posted:Humble Bundle has some study guides for cheap at the moment. I started reading the comptia a+ ones on a whim and seems decent if not a bit too dry, the Cisco ones have a very short shelf life(after feb they have limited if no value). Certs are situational(public sector loves them, private cares little about them) but are good resume fodder if you don’t have much experience to fill the previous jobs page. On a related note packt is letting everyone read their catalog for free. The video courses are done via html5 with no restrictions on downloading, so you might stock on some topics you might want to cert on.

BaseballPCHiker posted:I work in the public sector and have no degree. All I’ve ever had is certs and work experience. It will 100% not hold you back from going as far as you want in a technical role. The only time I’ve ever seen a lack of degree hold someone back is if you’re trying to make a switch to IT management. Otherwise get certs, gain experience, and go as far as you want. The next job rank from my base computer toucher position requires a three year university degree, hard requirement, written in both my workplace and the national contract. No way to escape it.

ilkhan posted:I looked at pearson vue to schedule and it was all unavailable. How do you do the from home testing? The home testing package in pearson vue usually has a different code from the standard test to do at a test site, you might have to search on the certification provider site for the exact one.

I know it might sound painful but if you are starting to work on your first VCP cert, this is the time to reassess and think on something different. Maybe AWS? Maybe something on the Microsoft 365 stack? I wouldn't trust VMware certs to hold the same value as those in the near future.

tokin opposition posted:while this is true, I really loving doubt anyone's doing DIY POE in 2022 which is the only time I can think that would be relevant. CompTIA asks some really loving stupid questions, and it'd be nice if they were at all competent at test writing or composition. my diagnosis is too many STEM nerds and no pedagogists Even if you buy premade, it's stil a valid if niche question. Depending on how cheap CAT6 you buy, you could get awg28(cheap patch) or awg26(expensive patch) rather than the conventional awg24(rigid plenum).

Cyks posted:Was the question regarding the cable or PoE/PoE+/PoE++ maximums cause if it was the former they are just asking people to use brain dumps for now on. There’s no way they are expecting people to know capabilities based off wiring thickness. Until very recently awg28 was rated 15w only while 30w was awg24-26 territory(which might make it a old "gotcha" question never removed from the question pool). Cheap awg28 wires pushing 30w gets crispy at long distances. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Jun 3, 2022 |

skipdogg posted:AES is an encryption standard, it can be used all sorts of places, not just for wireless networks. AES can be used in disk encryption, SSL certificates, software encryption, etc. As a quick note, some routers call WPA2 with TKIP encoding just WPA2 so the real underlying differentiation is WPA2-TKIP and WPA2-AES.
