| It is a great site! Just from trying one of the sims, I could tell that when taking the real exam, I will have to type out the entire commands instead of the short versions of the commands.... shucks. Thanks a lot for sharing!  | |

| Killer site! I really will use this a lot as part of my final prep for the exam in about a week from now.
Regarding the last post, Cisco's web site (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10...n/tutorial.html) specifically says this about abbreviated commands: "In contrast, router simulations in Cisco proctored exams will accept partial responses that an actual Cisco router will understand. For example: "Show Config' or 'Sho Config' or 'Sh Conf' would be acceptable. 'Router #show ip protocol' or 'router # show ip prot' would be acceptable. The exam commands must include the correct spacing, spelling and marks (#@!?)."
Can someone who has taken the exam recently comment on this please? | |
| Nistis 2003-04-18, 12:48 pm |
| Thanks for the info Carlk. I kinda got used to the "sh run" and "config t" and "sh tech" commands from configuring our routers and Pix firewall...lol... and I was hoping that the exams would utilize that format to save a little time  | |

| Great Site. Gives an understanding of how Cisco evaluates the questions with the %. I'm planning to take the test real soon. This will help me al ot. Hopefully I will make it on the first try. | |

| The "celticrover" site is a good one. You have to dig into it, but I found two sims taken straight from the CCNA course material, and they are EXACTLY like what was on the test. They take bit of time to load, so don't give up on them.
The sims that you access by clicking on the "1-H" tabs on the bottom are good practice, but two notes:
1) They are NOT what you will see on the CCNA exam, they are learning tools.
2) The "celticrover" sims demand perfect syntax and spelling; the CCNA exam allows shorthand, such as "config t" and "sho run".
One last thing about the CCNA sims: WATCH THE TIME!!! I laughed when the pre-test instructions suggested to "limit yourself to 10 minutes per sim". If you don't know your stuff, it's easy to sink WAY too much time in the sims and run short of time on the exam. That's one of the problems that I had when I took the test. | |

| Hey agtuttle, thanks for the info. Question for you: During the exam, can we mark questions and come back to them, or is it a straight through run? | |
| agtuttle 2003-04-19, 3:13 pm |
| The test is straight forward: 60 questions, 90 minutes, no going back and no "marking for later". Here is the question, answer it, and move on.
There is a timer at the top, and it counts down from 1:30 (one hour 30 minutes) to 0:00. There is a warning that takes over the screen and says, "5 minutes left, click OK to continue", so that is not an excuse.
=========
Time yourself on a router sim: I give you 3 routers (R1, R2, and R3), and a host on R1 and R3 (H1 and H2).
H1 -- R1 -- R2 -- R3 -- H2
H1 has an ip address of 172.16.10.5
H2 has an ip address of 172.16.40.5
They are all on the 172.16.0.0 network:
Host to Router is Ethernet.
rotuer to Router is Serial.
Devise an addressing scheme, configure all interfaces, and ping H2 from H1. GO!
==========
So, how long does it take you to read the question, look at the topology they provide, devise the addressing, configure the interfaces, and test it?
The pre-test instruction suggests that you take no more than 10 minutes per sim. Expect 2 - 3 sims on the exam. Cisco says that the sims are worth more points than a simple "pick the right answer" question, but I dont' know how much more. If the simple ones are worth 1 point, for example, I would GUESS that the sims are worth... 5? 7? I don't know. Enough so that you can't skip them, but not enough to take 30 minutes on each!
=================
If I left out any needed info on that practice example, sorry. If anybody has any thoughts on what I've written, pro or con, I'm ready to listen/learn. | |

Thanks.

| agtuttle,
I'm trying to figure out the approach on your sample sim. So are the hosts already assigned subnetted IP address (subnetted from 172.16.0.0), and I have to continue subnetting the other segments as well as assign IP addresses to the routers? | |
| agtuttle 2003-04-21, 5:28 pm |
| Hi, ClarkV!
I was trying to provide a "feel" for the sim's, not a workable problem. Can you see that you would have to configure 2 interfaces for each router? Provide clock where needed? Apply RIP or IGRP or static routes or default routes? Etc etc
My point was to expect 2-3 sims on the test; they suggest 10 minutes for each sim on the test; and there is a lot of configuring and typing to get it to work. Know your stuff!
Do you have a router sim? if not, get one! Set up the problem that I provided. Figure out what info you need to supply to make it work. Make it work with RIP, then tear it down and make it work with IGRP! Tear it down and try static / default routes! Beat the problem into submission!
====
It's not really a subnet problem. Use 10, 20, 30, and 40 for the subnets:
H1 (sn10) R1 (sn20) R2 (sn30) R4 (sn40) H2
Does that help? | |
| agtuttle 2003-04-21, 5:33 pm |
| Oooops!
Wrong router at the end. It shoudld be:
H1 (sn10) R1 (sn20) R2 (sn30) R3 (sn40) H2
(It's hard to write these using text-only!) | |
| clarkv 2003-04-21, 5:35 pm |
| Yes that helps, thank you.
That sounds like good advice to make it work with RIP, IGRP, and static routes - I'm going to do that!
Thanks again. | |
