Support Exam inquiry
|

| Hi all,
I am taking my final exam (Support) next Friday for my CCNP. I know that
Cisco has revamped a lot of their exams and have also very recently come out
with new exams for CCNP (642-xxx). The exam I am taking is 640-606. How
much of the exam deals with token ring, IPX/SPX and AppleTalk? I've worked
at an ISP for nearly four years now and not once have I found a customer in
our network that runs these protocols, much less runs them on a Cisco
network. I even worked at a Mac-based consulting shop and *they* didn't
even use AppleTalk.
Should I waste my time boning up on these sorts of "dead" protocols? There
is only so much room in my head and I'd like to save it for things that
really matter, like routing and switching and maybe pornographic images...
TIA,
evt

| I took and passed Support in January, and there were only 2 or 3
AppleTalk/IPX/ATM questions on the exam. It's really the least of your
worries, but you DO have to know the basic issues for these protocols
going into the exam, just in case they do ask any of these questions.
Most of the test will be frame relay, ISDN, and TCP and to a lesser
extent switching. Know your TCP to the minute detail level for this
exam.

| Thanks for the info. I guess I am somewhat dismayed at the amount of
baloney AT and IPX questions that the exam simulators have. While I'm not
the type of person to just memorize a bunch of questions and answers, it's
helpful to have a good idea of what the test will actually be like.
