Yes.

SIMs are EXCELLENT study tools for the CCNA because; - Most people don't have frame relay or ISDN setups in their basement. - The labs that Boson bundles with the software package are quite good. You pretty much need the sim for a lot of the stuff seen on the exam. The BOSON sims can be...

What area of study is this question from? -SnowNinja

hardeepsanghera, First, I'm surprised that all of these sims have been seen on tests in the past few months. All of the posts that I have seen on the subject of sims seems to be that NAT and OSPF seem to be the flavor of the quarter. I took the exam twice and had 1 OSPF sim each time...

Yeah, mostly ditto. I recently completed the CCNA (May 19th), BUT I missed it on my first try. I started studying in late January and gave myself 3 months. After I missed it the first time, I went on the web and asked for guidance. I succeeded on the second try. Beware! CCNA is updated...

How does this Cisco Academy work? Do you sign up for it specifically for one certification track? How long/expensive is the program? -SnowNinja

No, it doesn't quite help. I'm eager to figure out which way is correct. In the context of an access control list, where the range does not start with .0, how do you set up the range. Let's say the start of the range is 192.168.10.11 and you want it to go to 192.168.10.43. What would that...

Just checked it out on Amazon (and read some of the preview). Wow, it looks like an awesome book. I'm going to have to get it . . . -SnowNinja

"The latest top down is also great for understanding business goals/constraints." What is "the latest top down"? -SnowNinja

"No, access-list use wildcard masks which are in essence subnet masks in reverse. That is, a wildcard mask bit 0 means "check the corresponding bit value" a wildcard mask bit 1 means "don't check the corresponding bit value" So you have to resort to binary to work it all out." Hmmm. Okay...

If the range of IPs for the subnet were .1-.31 wouldn't the entry look like; access-list 1 permit 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.30 That is to say, that the allowable range of hosts would begin with .1 and increase another 30 to get to .31? I believe access-list 10 permit 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.31 would mean...

Darn, wish I knew :( Just ordered my CCDA stuff on Saturday, first one came in. Oh, well. Live and learn . . . -SnowNinja

Yes, true, must set password for VTY access. tlecuru, I definitely recommend the BOSON CCNA Network Simulator (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=JV1MYJ9BmS&isbn=1587201313&itm=4). It has a ton of labs that you can work with. It DOES lack scenarios with VLSM...

I think this one is refering to two possible problems with router access; 1 - Inability to telnet in because of an ACL prohibiting connectivity to port 23 2 - No login set for the VTYs. It's a common question in most study guides I've seen for the exam. If you can ping, there's connectivity...

I've ordered the book, I can't wait to get started. My only question is, you mention that the book came out in 2004, but Teare's CCDA book is listed on amazon and ciscopress as having been published in late 2003. Are we talking about the same book? -SnowNinja
