Please log in for more thread options about that. For practical I have 2 2501 routers and 2 1900 switches at home, all purchased on Ebay. For study it was the Wendell Odom Intro and ICND books, plus the QUE CCNA book (ISBN-10: 0789735199 ISBN-13: 978-0789735195) which I quite liked as it does seem to walk you through the theory, then install/practical, then troubleshooting. Test itself was a bit odd - certainly had a few questions that I'd not seen the likes of before, but they were still asking the same sort of stuff - if you follow me. Point being that you really do need to *know the theory* and how to *apply it*. Had a couple of standard drag/drop questions (such as how to enable terminal vty access - don't mind mentioning that as it's in all three textbooks noted above). The sim was easy - just an interface that needed enabling. The other thing that did come in handy for subnetting was the fact that I wrote down my little table. I know we all do this differently, but my version is simply: Prefix Example IP Hosts Subnets /28 192.168.0.240 16 16 From that I just expand either way - up to /31 and down to /22 appears sufficient. Also that listing is with 0-subnet in mind. OK, that's about all I can say in case I get some nasty reply back from those CertGuard guys. Thanks again for the input from the folks here (and yes BernieM and Scooby - I still have that EIGRP error message! ;) ). Good luck to all, PM | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Paul, Great news !!!! Nice way to start the holiday weekend. BTW - if you want to post the configs for the devices in question with the EIGRP, I'll check it out. Also, if you can, include some kind of topology info - what interface is plugged into what. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Abbreviations did work, but what didn't is going from command line view to topology view (or whatever they call them) while in a telnet session. The connection was closed so I had to keep telnetting back in after switching. And moreover, I tried creating an ip host entry to save typing type for the pesky IP adddress but it would not even let me do that! Cost me a few seconds, but they all count. (Just ask Liverpool FC!!). PM | ||||||||||||||||||||||
