| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA Certification Exam Tutorial: Prefix Notation |
| |
| When you're preparing to pass the CCNA exam and earn this coveted Cisco certification, you've got to be totally prepared for the many kinds of binary and subnetting questions Cisco may throw at you. You also have to be familiar with the different manners in which a subnet mask can be expressed, and that’s where your knowledge of prefix notation comes in. Prefix notation is an alternate way to express the value of a subnet mask, as opposed to the more familiar dotted decimal format. Not only will you see prefix notation in Cisco documentation, but you’ll probably see it on your CCNA exam. Consider the following two values:255.255.255.0/24Believe it or not, those (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA Exam Tutorial: CCNA Recertification Requirements |
| |
| Passing the CCNA exam and earning this coveted Cisco certification is an important step in your career, but it's not the end of your responsibilities as a CCNA! When you work with computer networks, you've got to be continually learning and staying up on the latest technologies and changes in the field. Part of this responsibility is keeping your CCNA current by meeting Cisco's recertification requirements.Cisco requires CCNAs to recertify once every three years. While most CCNAs will move on to the CCNP in that time, if you choose not to you must meet certain requirements in order to keep your CCNA valid. Cisco does this to ensure that CCNAs keep their networking knowledge current (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco / MCSE Exam Study: Creating A Road Map To Success |
| |
| Planning for success on the CCNA, CCNP, and other Cisco exams is much like taking a trip in your car. You've got to plan ahead, accept the occasional detour, and just keep on going until you get there. But what do you do before you get started?Create a road map - for success.If you were driving from one side of the country to another, you certainly wouldn't just get in your car and start driving, would you? No. You would plan the trip out ahead of time. What would happen if you just got in the car and started driving in the hope that you would someday arrive at your final destination? You would never get there, and you'd spend a lot of time wandering aimlessly.Don't s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA Exam Tutorial: Directly Connected Serial Interfaces |
| |
| To pass the CCNA exam, you've got to master quite a few services and routing protocols that may be new to you. Between RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, and switching, there are hundreds of details you've got to absorb! It's easy to spend all your time on those topics and not pay proper attention to "easier" technologies, and then all of a sudden on exam day you can't quite remember the details of those particular services.One setup you've got to be more than familiar with is directly connecting serial interfaces on Cisco routers. This is also a valuable skill to have in your home lab, since it allows you to add segments to your network setup.A Cisco serial interface is operating as a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA Exam Tutorial: The Best Time To Schedule Your Exam |
| |
| In preparing for CCNA exam success, one of the basic steps is to schedule your exam! And when should you do that?Schedule your exam NOW.I can hear you now -- " Why should I schedule my exam now? I haven’t started studying yet!"From experience, I can tell you that this technique works. People complain about timetables and deadlines, but the truth is that people do their best work with a deadline. “Stress” is not the dirty word that we’ve made it out to be. A diamond is only a lump of coal that was put under pressure.I wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard this:"I’ll schedule my exam when I’m ready."You know when "ready" is?

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA / CCNP Home Lab Tutorial: Cabling Your Access Server |
| |
| A Cisco home lab is an invaluable study tool when you're preparing for CCNA and CCNP exam success. Once you've gotten a couple of routers and switches, you'll quickly get tired of moving that blue console cable every time you want to configure a different device. The solution to this problem is purchasing and configuring an access server (AS).For those of you new to access servers, note that these are not white boxes running Microsoft operating systems. These are Cisco routers that allow you to connect to all the routers and switches in your home lab without moving a cable. You can physically or logically connect to the access server and work with all your devices from there. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: OSPF Router Types |
| |
| When you're preparing to pass the BSCI exam on the way to the coveted Cisco CCNP certification, you can be quickly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of BGP and OSPF knowledge you must demonstrate a mastery of. One set of details that some BSCI and CCNP candidates underestimate are the differences between the OSPF router types. The OSPF router types seem straightforward enough, but what you must keep in mind is that a router can fill more than one of these roles!An OSPF Internal router has one rule - it must have all its interfaces in a single area. It does not mean that area has to be Area 0.An OSPF Backbone router is a router with at least a single area in the OSPF backbo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA / CCNP Home Lab Tutorial: Routing On A Frame Relay Switch |
| |
| When you're preparing for CCNA and CCNP exam success, the best investment you can make is to put together your own home lab. There is no better way to learn Cisco technologies and prepare for the CCNA, BSCI, BCMSN, CIT, and other exams than by working with the many protocols and services you'll need to master in order to pass the exams.One of the most popular articles I've written over the few years dealt with buying and configuring a Cisco router as a frame relay switch. That article is still available on many websites (including my own), but I want to remind you that just because you configure a router as a frame relay switch, that doesn't mean you can't use it as a home lab rou (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA / CCNP Home Lab Tutorial: Planning Ahead For IE Study |
| |
| Candidates preparing to pass the CCNP exams are putting together Cisco home labs like never before. With CCNA and CCNP home lab equipment more affordable than ever, candidates have realized the importance of working on real Cisco routers and switches on the way to earning their certifications.One question I get often from CCNP candidates is goes something like this: "I'm planning on pursuing the CCIE after I get my CCNP. What kind of routers and switches should I buy now in order to use the same equipment in my CCIE home lab?"This is going to sound strange coming from me, because I'm the #1 proponent of CCNA and CCNP candidates buying their own home labs.
