Please log in for more thread options (640-821) and ICND (640-811) exams. The book versions are 5th printing dated Feb 2004 and the CD version is 1.2 on both books. I was able to update the CD version to 1.7 via the web site. I saw the same set in a bookstore but with a notation those included all the new 2005 material. What is new since 02/2004? Are my materials current enough to pass the current exams? I also have the Cisco Press CCNA Flash Cards and Exam Practice Pack 2nd edition. TIA! | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I should add that I do have basic networking experience but not on Cisco. I tried the full 640-801 exam fall of 2004 and failed with a 770. Got hit w/4 sims and pretty much ran out of time. I've gone cover to cover on the Intro book and done all the chapter questions, Foundations and practice exams included. Scoring around 970-980 on the practice exams. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

OK, I haven't finished the book (have chapters 14-16 to go) but took an preliminary Assessment exam from Prometric and failed with an 82.9% Reviewing the missed questions and this one stands out: Q: Identify the methods of logging into a Cisco 2950 switch: (choose 3) A: Console B: Telnet C: Auxilary D: Serial I chose A, B and D but was scored as an incorrect answer. Their answer was A, B, C. The Cisco Press book specifically states a Cisco 2950 doesn't have an auxilary port. Dang this stuff is frustrating!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||

And another one: Q: How many usable subnets (exclude zero and broadcast address) are created when using a subnet mask which borrows 5 bits from the host field of an IP address? A. 8 B. 10 C. 32 D. 30 E. 31 I chose "D" since 2 to the 5th power is 32 minus the zero and broadcast addresses. They said "E" was correct. ????? Every example in the 5th printing (02/2004) of the Cisco Press book you do NOT use the zero subnet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options The Cisco Press books are filled with inconsistincies and errors. I would
suggest going to the appropriate update page for your book and check "Errata" for all corrections done in later printings. Hope that helps! -Russ >
