A few short thoughts on why people fail the CCNA and how you can be one of

those

who passes first time.

1. Please ensure you have a full and detailed understanding of:

All routing protocols -

theory and

configuring

Switching including

STP and VLANs

and how to hard code

root bridge

priority

Subnetting..answer

subnetting questions in a few seconds

Route

summarization and VLSM

NAT - how to

configure and use access lists to decide on NATted traffic

Frame relay - theory

and hands on

configuration

DHCP theory and

configurations

PPP theory and

configuration

Wireless theory

IPv6 addresses

Wildcard masking

TCP/IP - all

your port numbers as well as CDP, ARP, ICMP etc

Access lists -

be super good at hands on access list

configurations

Securing the switch

and router with passwords, SSL, port security, console security

2. Please also ensure that if you are using our extra

hard CCNA exams that you are

getting 95% at least EVERY TIME before you sit the real thing.

3. If you are nervous, please use our

Cisco hypno recording every day.

4. Be FAST at hands on..please do not fart about using question marks or

wondering

if you need to be in interface mode for certain commands. You need to be FAST,

FAST, FAST with your hands on.

This list is not definitive but if you know all the above you should be 95%

ready for the exam.

Thanks

Paul
