CCNA GROUP STUDY - (Get Yo Azz In Here!!!)

[CybaCipha]

A bunch of heads have gotten together to study for the CCNA. If you want to study we are going to do the damn thing. So get the CBT and bring your brain and your pencil.

Peace


CBT:

[Beeiii]

I'm all in. Just waiting for everyone to start!!

[kjxxxx]

Some of the relevant posts/suggestions from the post of which this is an offspring. If you want to summarize or expound it above CYBA you can.

Even if I'm not studying the same thing right now (I need to start with something super easy to get motivated) ... I can help you guys or you can help me.

CCNA - we all get the same material. From what I read on http://www.sadikhov.com, the CBT nuggets and the Cisco Press CCNA books / Study guides

we can start with ICND intro, small bite so we get a sense of accomplishment fast. We can start about 8-10 EST watch for an hour straight through.

Go ahead and post post it. I am on the road right now and just doing a quick look.

I think we all agreed that we will all start with the CBTs.

Please install it and watch the first video. We are still trying to find a way to do an online group discussion. Let me know if you can think of something.

[BullaCake]

I don't know what the fuck is a CCNA but I see some minds pulling together to get some Online study group going.

I've watched both the CBT and Train Signal set for CCENT/CCNA and I've taken the first test (ICND 1) and passed to receive the CCENT cert. I can say that CBT is more entertaining, but Train Signal goes WAY more into detail as far as concepts, and I think that if I didn't watch them both series, I might have failed. Problem is, Train Signal is just not as "fun", but like I said, the instructor on that course gives you a lot of concepts that you I actually could relate with on the test. Just make sure you on point with the subnetting. I'm studying for the ICND 2 test now to get the actual CCNA, and I can say that this one is very challenging as it goes real deep into routing protocols. I ended up buying a home lab off Ebay with like 4 routers and 1 switch for about $300, but if you want to practice with a good simulator, check out GNS3. With this simulator, you can load real Cisco IOS's inside the simulator and its basically the real deal. You will need to find the IOS's on somewhere like Torrentz.com.

Here is a the Ebook version of a book I just purchased from Todd Lammalle (sp?) and it is some good stuff I must say as a resource outside of video studying. It's up to date for the current CCNA and is hands down the best CCNA study book out there based on reviews. I used this as well to study for the first test, so I'll upload it for you guys...

BTW, these posts were priceless on helping me use that GNS3 simulator and learning how to subnet...

Dino Velvet coming through with the dope post. Good look fam!

I watched the first video today. I will watch it again tomorrow.

I also looked at 2 Net+ videos to get a review of the OSI model and basic networking.

Let me know how you guys are doing. Also, lets talk about what we can use to collaborate and do a group discussion.

[n1pd]

Great post, Id like to the same idea for the MCSE track.

[uready4me]

Studying now for my CCNA, here in Louisville, KY.
Gone thru the CBT and now reading the CCNA INTRO GUIDE.

Any more I will gladly take.

[kayanation]

Just saw this thread.

I'll jump in on my own and handle this by end of the month (trying to knock out PMP in the meantime).

All the best to all .........

Cyba, keep dropping fire

ill do anything i can to help you guys, it will let me brush up on my stuff since I only see vpn stuff day to day.

Count me on the the help too. I already got mine, but I will be available to answer questions. Just let me know where yall gonna meet at and I'll be available to help yall out.

[greygoose]

bump for the sake of subscription

[greygoose]

quick question, its probably beyond the scope of this thread, if i wanted to get my practice on which router can i snatch up for the sake of practice? i dont own one, (i know they cost major $$$) but i wanna look like on craigslist or something so i can finally join in this

If you are just starting out Look at my advice in the other thread you posted a question in. You will probably do fine for now with software simulation. You can study with us but don't go spending money unnecessarily until you are sure that you want this. Peace

[greygoose]

much obliged

[curryshotta]

Already got my CCNA but I am more than willing to participate. A dude can always learn something new.

You guys should also use dynamips

What is dynamips? Please explain.

[CybaCipha]

Ok so I've been watching the CBT nuggets this week. I've watched 4 videos.

1. CCNA Concepts and hardware
2. IOS basics
3. Router components
4. The configuration file

I have a Cisco 800 that I been using to log in and run commands just to get the feel of it. I don't think I need a lab yet.

Does anyone have any tips on learning the different 802.11 protocols?
I know we are going to hit the OSI Model and subnetting. Anybody got tips for learning those? I don't want to memorize those jawns I want to KNOW them. Feel me?

[curryshotta]

Dynamips is a router emulator. Basically it takes real Cisco IOS images and lets you run them on a pc as it is emulating the hardware.

Its good because once you have a valid IOS you have all of the commands that a regular roouter does. so you can run the protocols to your hearts content.

It can be a bit resource intensive tho, so I suggest having a machine with lots of RAM

I have a very good document on learning subnetting and hexadecimal conversion.

In fact I am gonna write up a tutorial and post it later

I'm CWNA certified (802.11) so let me know how I can help.

The CWNA study guide should help you cover this part of the CCNA.

Also:


A good reference book (I call it the networking bible) is the tanenbaum.


http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Netwo...6441145&sr=1-2


It covers the OSI model in detail and you will always need it.

Consider it an investment with my full recommendation

Thank you sir! How are the rest of yall doing with the studying? I'm 4 videos deep and i'm looking at reference material.

I found an old Cisco 800 router that I can practice commands on until I'm ready to do the dymamips shit.

Peace

I am about the same place. Did you find the dymamips app already ? Them shits aren't fun to watch but I am trying. LOL

Starting at A+ myself.

Took the course back in '00 @ the World Trade Center

Got sidetracked in the medical field and now i have to get back.

Are all the A+ videos dead.

btw Can't search A or + on this board the search terms are too broad.

Thanx

Fam., do a search for "comptia" which stands for Computing Technology Industry Association. They are the board that comes up with most, if not all, of the "standards" for gerneral entry level certs. If you search for comptia you'll find all the A+ stuff you can want.

and all types of other shit. that nigga's threads will have you building a nasa space shuttle within 8 weeks











but to be honest search like dude stated. or search for "ccna" that will sometimes bring up networking and A+ related stuff.

Most of the A+ stuff should be in the CYBA's IT Education Thread.

I have a rapidshare account and flashget and it still took weeks to download all 2,408 videos and associated files. It took another week to get it unzipped, installed and running ... but it was worth it. I put it on a server and host it using Apache http server. It's old but the foundation is the same regardless of what you are studying for.

[kjxxxx]

ran into a stumble on the videos. They are putting me to sleep. I started the OS video and realized that I just keep watching the same first one over and over and falling asleep so I am spent 2 days trying to get the latest bosom simulator to work but no luck so I am going to stick with version 6. Enough time wasted on 7 already. Now I am running into the problem with six where it wont display the pdf for the stand alone labs.

[n1pd]

Bump, what collab tools will yall use for the study session?

Good question ... I have no idea. Somebody mentioned DimDim one time but I never checked it out.
