How to Network Tip of the Week #69 – 15th January 2009

===========================================================

Welcome to the sixty-ninth www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

===========================================================

Members Passing

Well done to the below member who passed his CCNA exam
last week. Ashok is in the $1000 challenge which gives him
a 1 in 3 chance of winning. I really admire people to take
on a challenge.

Ashok Reddy passed with an amazing perfect score of 1000
which is a first for the site:

‘Hi Paul,

I am really excited to write this to you. I took my CCNA
640-802 exam today at 11:00 am (EST) 8th Jan 09, USA. I
passed with a score of 1000 out of 1000. I really want to
thank you for putting up a wonderful site like this. CCNA
cram guide and CCNA labs are the most useful tools in my
success. Once again I thank you for being part of my
success.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Ashok.’

I wonder when your name will appear here?

One Thousand Dollar Challenge

There is still time to take the challenge. Just pop over
to the below link and join in the fun.

If you have passed your CCNA this month please ensure
you get proof from Cisco as per the details on the below
link.

===========================================================

CCNP Content

The CCNP content has been added. Well, the BSCI labs have
been so far. It has taken longer than anticipated and there
are yet more labs to be added.

The theory is being finished at the moment. Once that is
done we will add exams, videos etc and then do the same
with the other CCNP modules. I may well add the CCNA
security next (before the CCNP switching etc).

It is still being built so many of the links are not live
yet.

The discussion forum will be up in a couple of days.

Live Rack Update

The live rack is now open to the public so you can use
the kit without having to be a member.

Hopefully the rack lessons plus the content on the live
rack web site is pretty clear but I still have students
asking me why their account isn’t set up or why, if they
have signed up as a non member on the racks their account
has no credits.

I no longer answer these e-mails because I make it
painfully clear how to get set up on the sites. Please
take time to watch the videos and then fill in the
agreement and then your rack account will be set up.

The live rack is here:

New Cisco CCNA IOS Commands

I have been adding videos to YouTube explaining essential
IOS commands you need to know for your exam.

Here is an example. Please give me a score as well while
you are there.
