Anyone a certified CCNA?

[ManOfArms]

I'm going with the Cisco Press book, however, do any of you have experience with any router simulators? Which would you recommend?

I swear by www.routersim.com. I got 71 of 75 correct.

Did you self study or take any courses? Which books did you use for self study?

Thanks, karma going your way

A friend of mine works for Todd Lamle in Dallas. They teach a certification course. I'm reading CCNA Fastpass right now.

I am a CCNP, did all of the studying myself. I used the Cisco Press books and Lamle's study guides. I ahd a few old routers to play with, but the one DT mentioned looks good. Good Luck.

Even better was I later sold the router simulator for the same amt I paid for it on Ebay; I threw in a book.
I also went thru Cisco Networking Acadmey, only because my co. paid for it. It was a 90% waste of time because I was so far ahead of the rest. I stopped going and passed before it even ended.

Thats what I thought I have 3 years hands on experience, so that should work in my favor. I'm thinking with the Cisco Press CCNA study guide, and a simulator, it should be all I need.

Thanks again.

I am using the press book and using Todd Lamle's keystone learning systems software. It's great stuff. Someone told me Keystone was going bankrupt or something?? Maybe thats old news. Anyways.. I took my 1st class exam and made an 899. Have 2 more class finals and then I take the real test.

You'll probably kill the exam then. I had only used router simulators and I got 71 of 75 correct. I haven't used much Cisco stuff since then. LOL.

 

[the nature boy]

you have 3 years exp with routing and switiching? you'll have no problem.

No... but I play one on TV.

I took a class they offered at the local college, and read through a study book that kind of just outlined everything. I failed the first time I took it by about 2 questions, but went back 4 days later and smoked it up.
