Going through the official Cisco text for CCNA data centre 640-911 and it talks about TWO TCP/IP layer models in addition to the OSI model. The only difference between the two is that Layer 1 and 2 are called the "Link" layer on the older one (4 layers), and the newer one (5 layers) goes back to calling them Physical and Data Link. Why not just skip to the end and only talk about the 5-layer model. Cisco  E: Lammelle's text only refers to the 4-layer TCP/IP model.

Not yet. I'm still combing through the Odom textbook I acquired a few weeks ago. I need to spend a lot more time with the practice test environment that came with it. Some of the practice question diagrams are just so unpleasant to look at. I think I got as much as I could out of the Lammelle book I picked up first, but wasn't feeling comfortable enough to jump into the exam. Once I've mastered the Odom book I think I'll be fine. Actually, I like the Odom book a bit more because topics are split up into smaller pieces. Decent review and practice plans included as well. Definitely makes it easier to target specific weaknesses when reviewing. ACLs are my sore spot as well. I really hope that we won't run into any simulation-based ACL questions because of the gotchas like "you didn't put [permit ip any any] as the last statement" Tentatively scheduled for end of October but looks like family engagements are going to force me to push it into November.

MrBigglesworth posted:I might actually take the test before you then I think I'm going to go for the last week of October. Good stuff I'm tying to be extra careful about passing on the first try. I paid for my exam before the Canadian dollar tanked. The thought of throwing down another $250 USD to rewrite makes me want to weep.

Trip report from my friend who just did the CCIE routing & switching lab. - 10 exam users per day. There were a few other people doing security and data centre exams at the same time. - The routing and switching exam is entirely virtual, but you do it on a single-display desktop with windows xp  - Troubleshooting component was 2 hours to complete 10 simulated trouble tickets. The typical stuff like 2 servers can't talk to each other. - Diagnostic component was 30 minutes to work through 3 tickets. They found this part was the toughest. - Config lab is the biggest part at 5.5 hours. You get a huge diagram simulating a multi-national business with different sites, service providers, and requirements. About 50 devices including routers, switches, servers, workstations. More than half of the devices are routers, as the exam title would suggest  - You don't have to subnet. All the IPs are provided for you. - At some point during the config a proctor will tweak something like an interface (just 1 thing) and you'll have to fix it. Any questions (without disclosing actual test questions) I can pass along!

I also had success with Wendell Odom's CCENT book. He's a bit over-detailed sometimes, but the practice material that comes with the book is solid.

That'd be me. I've ramped up a bit since December had me side-lined. Probably a week away from finishing Odom's textbook, then into the Test > Fail > Practice cycle. Looking at early March now.

Better safe than sorry. Thanks for sharing the appendix! I always forget to check for errata and stuff.

When I was getting ready for the ICND1 (before the new exam came out) I was using a site called Headmagnet to make flash cards and quiz decks. I don't think it's been updated in over a year, though.

Im pretty up and up on the actual CCNA R&S type stuff when it comes to how it is configured in NX-OS, I am just worried about the hardware questions from chapter 2, so much crap about power requirements, RUs used, number of fans, BS that should all stay on an accessible spec sheet, not memory!

MrBigglesworth posted:Failed 640-911. 723 needed 818 to pass. A few things I know I didn't study for as feared and one thing that really pisses me off is where 2 commands do the same goddamn thing but you can only pick one answer. I HATE those types. Other things mentioned are not in the Official Cisco Guide. Wrote down a bunch of poo poo when I got back to my car for concerns I gotta study up on. Sorry to hear that  if you don't mind me asking, what didn't you study for and what do you feel wasn't mentioned? I'm finding a lot of stuff in the Odom text that wasn't mentioned in Lammele's, but I'm really crossing my fingers that somehow using both books will cover me. And the extra appendix...

Highly recommend this course (SEC 401 at SANS) if your company pays for it (it's not financially reasonable to do it on your own, like 8k plus travel expenses) but a really rewarding experience if security interests you. Take a class with Eric Cole if you can. Way to go bro!

Cisco cert questions: If a cert like a CCENT expires, but you write a new exam shortly after, does it retroactively re-up your expired exam? Eg. Expire in January and pass an exam in February.

Paging MrBigglesworth. The appendix for 640-911 talks about a lot of Cisco-centric features that exist on Nexus gear without explaining what it is in any great detail. Did you find product-based question on your exam run were basic "this feature is supported by model xyz" or did they get into any gritty about stuff like FCoE, CPU share, whatever. I was so close to being through this part of the studying phase so this extra appendix for poo poo that should appear on the next exam is giving me a chapped rear end.

Turns out 11L means 1 minimum fabric modules to operate the I/O card 1 number of fabric modules to achieve max capacity L means XL module. Edit: I wish the differences between M and F module cards was included, similar to your explanation, because it makes so much more sense. But yeah, if they ask for the pps capacity I'll be boned on that one Sprechensiesexy posted:Just passed my JNCIA-Junos exam. They should really do these tests in pubquiz format, in an actual pub.

Question for anyone with a CCIE or similarly-levelled cert... How quickly could I self-study myself to that level? Things are changing in my workplace and a networking role with a high-level cert is in demand. I have the first CCNA data centre exam scheduled for 7 weeks from today. I figure I could finish the second exam 3~ months after to finish off the Associate cert. Any recommended resources to help ease the process? I'm willing to invest $$$ to the cause and will likely get some of it reimbursed by work (as long I pass first). My study method is fruitful, but I'm terrified of failing on the first try so there is a lot of repetition involved. No brain dumps, of course.

This chapter on Data Center Storage Architecture is just so......guhhh Man, don't crush my spirits before I even open the book. My 640-911 is in 4 weeks and I might just change gears to finish CCNA R&S in one exam before opening that book. The appendix they pulled from it to tack onto the first exam was just soul-crushigly awful.
