Todd Lammel CCNA Study Guide

Robert J Stowell’s Question:


Hello, does anyone have experience with Todd Lammel’s CCNA study guide? I have heard it is good. Also does anyone have any recommendations as a self study routine using Todd’s book to take the exam with about a month of studying? Thanks! 70-646


List of helpful answers:


#01 Ryan


I’m currently studying under Lammle’s 640-802 CCNA study guide 6th Edition book. I’ve also taken cisco netacad and read one of those books. Lammle’s is deff better in comparison between the two of those. For selfstudy I would reccomend it as he does tend to be less flat (makes for easier reading). 646-363


I have not however taken the CCNA exam yet, (taking the one exam). So I do not know how it compares to the actual test.


As far as studying or self-studying.. I currently combine Lammle’s book + Cbt Nuggets Video for review + dynamips for an emulated hands on approach. I did recieve classroom training for the catalyst switches. There are simulators out there that can emulate the CLI interface for you though such as Boson.642-453

How To Clear CCNA Certification In First Attemp

#01 Tarun Vyas


Now CCNA has incresed certification amount so I can not afford second attemp.


I have made compleate prepration for ccna exam and study all but still unable to solve the question.


Please any one can help me how can I clear the CCNA certification in first attemp.70-624


#02 Travis Newshott


Study hard, lab it out, learn the technologies, understand the concepts. Once you are confident in your comprehension, relax and go knock it out. Don’t worry about failing, failure should be the last thing to cross your mind. Remember, you’re just answering some questions on stuff you should know. If you’ve studied hard, you’re just a few dozen mouseclicks away from certification.


I know this sounds generic and vague, but in my opinion, that is how it should be. You’re getting tested from the same pool of questions everyone else is, and the onus is on you to show up and pass. There is no guarantee for anyone…..156-215.1


#03 bytesnagger@CLN


Excellent response. Here’s some more information from the website. Note the date restrictions.

Study Material for CCNA Security

Anweesy3’s Question:


I am a current CCNA pursuing the CCNP. I have the ONT and ISCW left to take. This new CCNA Security cert seems very valuable since I want to pursue security. I was wondering since the CCNA Security and ISCW have very similar topics, can I bypass purchasing the exam guide for the IINS 640-553 and use my study materials for the ISCW instead? What are your opinions?


List of helpful answers:


It is better to continue with the CCNP track, as you said ONT and ISCW left to take. You can go through the syllabus which is given in this site itself and compare with the ISCW. It is better to wait for CCNA security as it is a fresh paper recently released. Even i am preparing, but planning to take this exam after one month. We can get more views, and details about the paper.


I am using SND and SNRS for my prepartion. Just go for the link and I hope this will clear it..


http://www.cbtnuggets.com/webapp/product?id=445


My advice is to take for CCNP and meanwhile material will be available.. and then go for the security.


—— Naresh


Just so you are aware, Cisco Press has two product out for the CCNA Security Exam. They are:


CCNA Security Official Exam Certification Guide (print book with CD test engine)

CCNA Security Quick Reference (digital review product)

Which Router Should I Buy For CCNA?

So you want to get your CCNA and you need to buy a router for your CCNA home lab? Now the question is which router should you get? I have been in your shoes and know when you are just starting out, it is tough to make sense of all the different models of Cisco Routers available. The good news is there are a lot of good options available to get a good CCNA router for a fair price. 350-018


I recommend getting a Cisco 2611 Router or a Cisco 2621 Router because they have to two Copper ports instead of one and offer the most training flexibility. If the cost isn’t much different, go for the 2621 because it offers 2 10/100 Ethernet ports and has 128MB of memory versus the 2611 that has 2 10Mb ports with 64MB of memory. Don’t forget to buy 2 routers as most of the CCNA Labs require two routers. You could also get 3 routers, but from my experience, you will rarely actually need 3 routers to practice for your CCNA. 642-373


Another issue that comes into play is the IOS. If you can get a router with 12.4 already installed, you are way ahead of the game. Remember, the only legal way you can get a copy of the IOS is to buy a Cisco Smartnet contract for your router. If worse comes to worse, look for 12.3, but do your best to avoid 12.2. While it is a solid IOS for production, the new CCNA really focuses on the newer 12.4 version and some commands may be different from what you are learning.


This recommendation is for building a CCNA Home Lab. If you plan on building a CCNP Home Lab, then you should check back later for a post about which router you should buy for CCNP. The great part is even though the routers for CCNP are more expensive, if you buy them while working on your CCNA, you can use them for both certifications. 640-816


Also, if you have the money, you may be better off buying a complete CCNA Home Lab. You can usually find a complete CCNA Lab Kit including 2 or more routers and 1 or more Cisco Switches. Just keep in mind what I said about the routers

Cisco Newbie: Start On The CCNA

Want to start getting into routers etc so looking at doing some cisco stuff?


Think you need to start on the CCNA? but dont really know where or know of any real books that can teach you this from scratch? Here is a guideline for the Cisco newbies to start on the CCNA.


Q: Looking at doing some cisco stuff?


A: Cisco’s Career Certifications & Paths information can be found here.


Cisco also has a CCNA Prep Center — it might impress you, or it might scare you away — but worth a look to get an idea of what Cisco makes available.


http://www.cisco.com/go/prepcenter Only one comment on the prepCenter.


When watching the flash, dont take their word when they say that linux is an operating system.


One who says that linux is an OS, states that his knowledge of operating systems converging to zero (especially linux based).


Q: Don’t really know where or know of any real books that can teach you this from scratch.


A: The books you’ll hear the most about around here are:


Sybex - Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide — by Todd Lammle. Should be on the 5th edition. Great for learning subnetting. Missing some info, but there are one or two new update chapters available for download.


Cisco Press - The CCNA 640-802 books by Wendell Odom. Probably the CCNA Official Exam Certification Library.


You can check out all the Cisco Press Books (and the link to the simulator) at the Cisco Press Web site.


Hands-on practice is important…. but you can get by with the simulator for the CCNA.


Q: Are the exams expensive?


A: The CCNA 640-802 exam is $125.


There is also the 2 exam option (INTRO and ICND). There should be link at the CCNP Prep Center that explains it. I think those are $100 each.


That should be enough links to keep you busy for the rest of the night.

The Discussion Of CCNA Advice For You

# 01 nikalex


I am currently planning to start studying for my CCNA certification.


Is self study the best one or attending classes? Which books are most recommended for CCNA Routing and Switching?


Is it better to take CCNA once or start from ICND1 and ICND2?


# 02 Kailen Harper


I have allways felt the two exam option and self study is the best way to move forward with a CCNA. The Cisco press books by Wendel Odom for ICND1&2 are an excelent choice. Most importantly though is to get a couple of routers or Dynamips and practice. Learning it in a book and actually doing it are very different things. Watch all of the videos on the site here and play the binary game A LOT. Subnetting is the most important thing to learn since without it the tests will take significantly longer to complete. And time is a valuable resource on the test. 642-445


Get the first book, watch the videos, ask a lot of questions in the forums and just keep working at it. Remember even the CCIE’s had to start somewhere.


# 03 Ryan Helton


Yup, I agree with the poster above. I just passed the ICND1 exam and I felt very prepared having used the ICND1 study guide by Wendell Odom and the CCNA study guide from sybex. I also practiced ios commands using GS3. 642-811


# 04 nikalex


Thank you so much for this valuable advice.I heard Cisco has many versions of routers and switches.


Which ones would you most recommend me for practice? I would move those ones cheap and which can be used for CCNP preparation as well.


# 05 Garry Richardson


Hi there, i also agree with all comments above! i passed CCENT 8 weeks ago and nearly read ICND2. I used Cisco Press materials and CBT nuggets, these 2 products go together a treat!


In regards to lab equipmment, a lot of people say you dont need any equipment to get pass CCENT / CCNA but i purchased for CCENT, 2 2500’s and 1 2950 CAT Switch I found it helped a lot, plus its fun playing with live Cisco IOS.


For ICND2 i’ve purchased another CAT 2950, another 2500 and a 2600. The ICND2 explorers into STP, VTP, Inter-Vlan-Routing and much more. The kit i have now, allows me to setup a network, working with all CCNA layer 2/3 protocols and much more. 000-331


I would advise anyone to spend between £100-£200 on some Cisco Kit when working through the Certs.


# 06 Mike Keedy


I’m following the self study track too, I find the Cisco Press books excellent, use the Boson simulator software and have a few 2nd hand routers and switches for practice.


Good luck in your certification, I’m planning to go straight for the CCNA exam, I hope I’ve made the right descision


# 07 Ryan Helton


Hey Mike, I’d say you’re making the right choice just going for the CCNA exam all at once. To tell you the truth I wish I had just done that becuase I feel like I was almost overprepared for the ICND1 and with a little more study of the ICND2 concepts I could have just knocked out the whole thing in one test. 000-331


# 08 Kerry LeBlanc


I agree with all the good advice here. I decided to go the one exam path myself. For resources I am using the Cisco Press set by Wendell Odem. I also have Todd Lammle’s book (Sybex Study Gude) which is excellent. I bought the Boson Exam simulator and the NetSim as well. I think the Boson exam environment is the most accurate for feel and look. 350-029


I also purchsed some equipment from CiscoKits.com. The books and simulators are great, but nothing compares to laying your hands on the real deal. I got two routers, one switch and a great lab book for about 250.00. Plus the equipment will be what I need as I move on to the CCNP.


Another good resource is the Brynat Advantage. Fairly inexpensive. MB7-515

Chris Corino’s 3 Questions About CCNA

I figured this was going to be a short post, but the more I think about it, the longer it gets, LOL. So I am just going to throw out a couple questions I am confused about, and if you can answer ANY of them, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Hope everyone’s work-week is going well!


I am planning for my CCVP due to work requirements. I’m extremely excited. However, I have to get my CCNA or CCNA Voice cert. first. Which do you recommend? Pro/cons?

If I go for the CCNA, I either take the CCNA exam or take the ICND1 and ICND2, correct? Recommendations?

When I look up the CCVP, it says the prerequisites are “CCNA (until June 24, 2009)”. Why is there a deadline? Is the exam being retired or changed?

More of a story, not really a question: Not even knowing there was a “CCNA Voice” certification, I bought a book yesterday from Barnes and Noble. I couldn’t understand how it was possible, but listen to this: I can either buy the CCNA Cert. Library for $95 that trains you on JUST the CCNA. OR I could buy a CCNA cert. Library for $60 that trains you on the CCNA, ICND1, and ICND2, along with a 1-hour training DVD, and 2 CD’s with the books on PDF, and 400 practice questions. Anyone see anything wrong with that picture?!? They were both made by Cisco, but the $60 one was a “Barnes and Noble Exclusive Edition”. Needless to say, I got the $60 one. 70-631


Helpful answer form Timothy Walsh:


You’ll need to do it in the following order:


CCNA (Note that you can break this into two tests, ICND1 which gets you the CCENT certification followed by the ICND2 which then makes you a CCNA)

CCNA-Voice (This certification requires you to first be a CCNA, hence step 1. This is a new cert which is why the CCVP has the deadline you spoke of, basically Cisco is allowing those of us already working on the CCVP to finish it before requiring the CCNA-Voice cert.)

CCVP (Currently only requires the CCNA, but after 6/24/09 will require the CCNA-Voice cert) 642-444

CCNA Discovery 4, Is the First 2 Modules Enough For CCENT Exam?

# 01 Araza


Dear All, I am thinking in registering for NETCAD and wanted some advice. It says that after the first 2 modules in the CCNA Discovery 4.0 you will have all the material to sit for the CCENT certification exam, is this true? Not calling Cisco liars but has anyone who has studied the first 2 modules of the CCNA Discovery 4.0 set the CCENT exam? If yes, can you advise if the first 2 modules are sufficient. 650-251


# 02 Chetan


Hi Araza, I completed CCNA Exploration 4.0 course from NETACAD, India in august this year. Contentwise, Cisco says that Exploration track is more advanced than the Discovery Track. 156-215.1


The course curriculum is good.


First two modules of Discovery 4.0 track are meant for the CCENT certification. And they cover all the necessary topics in sufficient detail. But my personal advice is that not to rely on First two Modules completely although they cover the required syllabus.


Keeping in mind the long term goal of obtaining CCNA certificate after CCENT, I personally think that one should Also go for CCENT / CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide by Wendell Odom. 70-624


Cisco NetAcad Material + Cisco Press Books are a great combination. The online tests at the academy are also of good quality.


# 03 Araza


Hi Chetan, Thanks man,that makes a lot of sense. I have purchased the Wendell Odom ICND1 book as well. I am thinking of buying the CBT videos. I am very new to networking so i need all the info that i can get. I don’t want to buy too much as this will confuse me so i thought one book and one video should do. Once again thanks for your advice.

The Cisco Learning Network Playground

It’s telling to watch how young children, as they mature, confront physical or intellectual challenges, applying as much perseverance as their abilities permit, while keeping the effort entirely within the context of having fun. As a parent this process can manifest itself at the playground where my daughter Annika, after spending a few weeks trying to master the monkey bars, will finish, satisfied with her accomplishment…for a while…until ambition leads her to gaze at the giant climbing rock, the next challenge, just across the playground.000-331


I’m excited to introduce you to our new playground, the Cisco Learning Network. Its intent is to assist you in defining your professional goals; planning a strategy to execute; and facilitating success via Educational content, peer exchanges in the Discussion Forums, and finally career guidance as you continue to strive for opportunities provided through your continued Education and Certifications.642-811


Whether your interest is in being introduced to Cisco Certifications; working to prepare for your Entry, Associate, Professional, or Expert Certification; looking for a refresh before taking your re-certification exam; checking in on what people are blogging about; or just stopping by to see what’s new in our ever expanding technical library, we fully expect you to either find what you are in need of, or to let us know what’s missing and we’ll work to correct that.


The exciting news this month, above and beyond the introduction of Cisco Learning Network, is the simultaneous introduction of our newest Associate Certifications: CCNA Wireless, CCNA Voice, and CCNA Security. The continued goal of the Cisco Certification process is to provide ample Certification opportunities for all the different technology frameworks within the four primary Certification levels (Entry, Associate, Professional, and Expert), and we trust the new CCNAs will complement the existing Certifications.642-445


Providing Certification resources and guidance can be a slippery slope; we don’t want to surprise candidates regarding content and exam topics, but we want the Certifications to be an accurate gauge of one’s abilities and competencies, to stand on its own merits, and to continue to be a badge of honor within the Network Community. We all have a vested interest in the continued success of Cisco Certifications, and so we depend upon your feedback to regularly monitor the state of that art.


The Cisco Learning Network is here to help you meet your professional goals, while also establishing new challenges—a process that hopefully leaves you as satisfied yet eager as that 5-year-old on the playground. Let your determination inspire us all. And just as I tell Annika: have fun, play nice, and let me know when you need help.

Microsoft 70-431 Exam Chapter Summary

"Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Implementation & Maintenance", also known as 70-431 exam, is a Microsoft certification.


SQL Server 2005 includes five editions, with each edition having different func-tionality and feature sets and different infrastructure requirements. Understand-ing the editions and their hardware, OS, and network requirements is key to selecting the correct edition for your needs.


You can install a default, unnamed instance of SQL Server 2005 and multiple additional named instances on the same server. Multiple instances can be bene-ficial for testing purposes and for separating different customers’ databases.SQL Server 2005 requires at least one account for use by the SQL Server serviceand the SQL Server Agent service. To make sure that the SQL Server service doesn’t have more privileges than necessary, you often need to use a separate account for each service.


When upgrading a SQL Server installation to SQL Server 2005, you can perform either an in-place upgrade or a side-by-side migration. A side-by-side migration,
which allows for the continuous operation of the original database environment while the upgraded environment is being installed and tested, can often mini-mize downtime for the SQL Server environment.


You can use detach/attach, backup/restore, the Copy Database Wizard, or man-ual scripting to move database files in a side-by-side migration. Whichever method you choose, you should make a copy of your original files in case you need to recover your original environment because of an upgrade problem.

External factors affect the value and the quality of jewelry, especially diamonds.

External factors affect the value and the quality of jewelry, especially diamonds. For an average person, a gem looks like just any other gem. But to the experienced eye, he knows the differences between a rare stone to one that is not-so-rare.



Therefore, we strongly recommend jewelry enthusiasts to have a keen eye on what is authentic to what is fraud. They should also be on their toes when it comes to the fraudulent practices involving jewelry Tiffany Necklace. They should know the facts of the stones and verify it with the experts.



Jewelry enthusiasts do not have to be gemologists. Neither do they have to be fearful when buying jewelry. They just have to be aware of the fraud exchanges and gem misrepresentation in jewelry markets.

There are jewelers who take advantage of naive customers who do not pay close attention to the gems they are buying. The normal customer purchases the highest quality regardless of the need for it to be repaired or appraised. Sometimes, it may be the highest-valued gem there but it is in need of these two procedures. Therefore its value degenerates but the buyer does not notice this because she is enamored by its sparkle Tiffany Earring.



Mounting is important because this can make or break the deal. An unethical jeweler merely switches the stones and replaces them with something similar for the untrained eye. This is usually a stone with lesser quality. This tactic generates the jeweler thousands of dollars and its tax free.

You can observe these by using loupes. You can also document these for future reference.

Sometimes diamond exchange diamond cut, stores do not have enough time to give the accurate clarity and color grades but they should still note the visible characteristics. This documentation serves as evidence, just in case switching takes place. It also prevents it from happening.



3. If the buyer has a diagram or the photograph of the gemstone, he must ask the jeweler if this can serve as a good enough representation of the product.

5. Be very wary of jewelers whose repair services are of low prices. If its too good to be true, it probably is. Maybe this jeweler has no experience. Then again, give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he is just honest.



6 diamond sale. If possible, establish an ethical relationship with your jeweler so that he will be more trustworthy. This can also lessen the chances of switching diamond necklaces Tiffany Ring.



A Gem with Laser Inscriptions - If you are lucky to get gem stones that have pokemon diamond and pearl pokemon laser inscription, then this can be a feature diamond earring which will help you be aware whether the stone has been switched. Whenever you take the stone to any repair shop or store, tell the person there that the gem has a laser inscription. You can also ask them to examine it under the microscope so that you and the person both agree.



Therefore, when the stone is returned to you, you can examine the stone diamond and pearl pokedex and check whether the inscription is still there. In that case, you will know that the stone is yours. You have to do these things right away to ensure that you are not cheated.
