| Hey there, lemme ask u this when yall took the test & knowing how cisco tests are, my question is what do u do about the case studies questions, do u write down what is on the case studies on a piece of paper or does the test let u go back to the case studies to refer for information??? I dont think it does but am curious to know how the test is given....
thnx for yur answers in advance.... | |

| Whenever you get a case study question they give you the opportunity to review the case study.
It is a good idea however to make notes on the case as you get given so much info that you probably wouldn't have enough time to keep rereading it.
Some of the questions don't really need you to even read the case study.
Your profile says your working on CCNP, are you doing CCDA first?? | |

| yeah i m doing CCDA 1st, just lazy didnt want to update my prfle....
Thnx for the answer though, but when they ask u a question pertaining to the case studies, do they hve the entire case study in there along with the question or only the paragraph pertaining to the question?????
I just want to be ready when i take the test thas why i am asking  | |

| You get the same info every time and you have to filter out the fluff.
If you do enough case studies, both in the DCN book and the cert guide (I think that's what it was called, basically both Cisco press books) you will have a very good idea of what theyre looking for. The cert guide was good because it had quite a few case studies.
I struggled with mine with a few things, it may be worth you doing the routing exam first.
Any other opinions on this?? | |

| Stay COOL, think logic, read, read and read again...
Cisco Press is good for this one. | |
|
| The test will likely have 3 or more case studies and the questions are not in order for case studies. Review as much asyou can the first time you see a case study and expect to see it pop up again in several other questions. | |

| Hi Alfie,
May I seek some professional advice from you?? Currently I'm a MCSE NT4 and CCNA and hopefully will be getting my CCNP very soon.
I'm currently working as a technical helpdesk in one of the US call centre in Singapore (a branch).
My interest is in Network troubleshooting / design - ultimate goal is to be a network consultant after I get my CCIE.
I saw in your profile that you're a CNE. Hence I would like to seek your advice, given my interest as a network engineer, is it really neccessary to know about unix??
Do network engineers need to know about systems troubleshooting or should they just leave these task to those systems administrators / engineers??
If the former is true, does it mean that I'll have to get all those Sun Solaris, Oracle etc certs as well?? Then that's really very tiring and a long process ;-(
Please give me some professional advice on this if you should kindly spare me some time.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
My email is : netking123@yahoo.com
Thanks pal. ;-) | |

|  Here are a few considerations, CNE is a NOVELL cert. and does require you pass their troubleshooting exam or the Network+ exam. I know enough about Unix to get by, part f my job is admin. for a Unix firewall. Now remember where Cisco routers came from-they were only software running on a Unix platform in the early days at the IOS is still Uxix based. i wish you the best of luck with you CCIE treak, but remember there is no substitution for hands on(The LAB will be proof of that)! The Sun Solaris, Oracle cert. Is only if that is the part of admin. You wish to work in that field. I hope this is a little help for you, and good luck in the future. |
