I PASSED MY CCNA JUST NOW

Hello everyone. i'm 33M Filipino and i just passed my CCNA today. my journey was rough. a lot of distractions and pauses all the way. but i kept on studying even a bit of time everyday just to retain what i studied.

i don't have IT experience, i did not go to bootcamp, just pure self study. my only resources are Jeremy's IT Lab and Indian gurus on youtube. No Boson Exsim, no paid practice exam. I made it and it feels so good. so, to everyone studying and preparing for the exam. keep on going!

I have recently uploaded several new troubleshooting labs. Some in the general troubleshooting and some in the fundamentals section. The general ones are meant to be more of a challenge like while the fundamentals ones are a bit more straight forward. They are more like learning to drive in the parking lot of Walmart instead of on the busy streets. Well, at least that is what I intend them to be. I'm always open to feedback. The Packet Tracer labs are .pka and self grade, but quick answers and walkthrough answers are provided. ALL labs are FREE. No signup or registration necessary.

PRAISE GOD I PASSED!

After 2 semesters of studying proctor lead and self study I have passed my CCNA!

I used the official CCNA 200-301 textbook (pdf can be found on Google for free). And supplemented with Jeremy’s IT lab, Bosons Exsim, and any packet tracer labs I could find online.

Bosons exsim was my best investment, I highly highly recommend it for the sake of recall and test taking skills. I made over 1200 flashcards and only used them after creating them once (not my main study method).

The most helpful study tip I can give is teach back, I was the only one in my curriculum who actually planned on taking it so my professor asked me to walk the class through some Boson questions and explain them which helped my find my weaknesses and those questions that I could get right but could never explain why.

Please feel free to DM or comment for any questions you may have!

I don’t know anything about networking and I wanna start learning it I see that CCNA is the most popular base course.
Are there any other courses and certifications that would help me get into networking

Study group / accountability

I am looking for a study group or partner. Who is ready to pass the CCNA and have it behind us??? My CCNA instructor said that is the best thing to do. No one in my class wanted to opt in.

Hey all, I figured I'd share this with others since I found it very useful as I'm studying for my CCNA as well. I know many use Wendell Odom's Official Cert Guide book to study with but did you know he also has a Youtube course as well?

I personally do not have the books but I am using Jeremy's IT Lab, Todd Lammle's CCNA Cert Guide book and have added Wendell's Youtube course into it as well. Personally I love the way he goes over each topic thoroughly and gives great content, which helps to reinforce everything I learned and jotted down from JITL.

Anyway here's the link for the series. It seems like it follows the book's chapters, and as I mentioned I don't have the books so I just search for the topics I am going over. For example I'm going over the IPv6 address types and he has different videos for each type and they're explained very well.

Hopefully it comes in handy for you as much as it has been coming in handy for myself!

CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is a Cisco specific Neighbour Discovery Protocol works on Layer 2. CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is also licensed to run on some network devices of other vendors. There is also a standard Neighbor Discovery Protocol named LLDP that works on all wendors.

By using CDP, Cisco devices discover their directly connected Cisco neighbours. But to do this, CDP must be enable on both devices. By default CDP is enabled on Cisco devices.

CDP provides many important information about the neighbour device. Device IDs, ip addreses, capacities etc. are provided to the requested neighbour by using CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol).

There are two versions of CDP. These are, Version 1 and Version 2. The information that is collect is increased by the new version, version 2. And CDP version 2 is the default one.

How CDP Works?

First of all, to use CDP, CDP must be enabled on both end devices. Each CDP enabled device send periodic messages (advertisements) to the multicast adress ” 01:00:0C:CC:CC:CC ” and makes its information available to the nodes which are listenning to it. This periodic advertisements sent every 60 seconds ( Hello Time ).
