Hi, i have started studying for CCNA R&S and want even a virtual partner to take part in it. My roadmap leads me to CCIE Security and CCIE R&S. Anyone volunteering? We can hook up on gtalk/msn and keep discussing it through emails as well. I am already having other technical certifications and have a masters in info security so i assume myself not to slow you down…

I have a great CCNA roadmap that includes labs and videos based on the 31 days before your CCNA book.  For the labs though you need to have Cisco’s Packet Tracer, to get this you must me an academy alumni.  How much Cisco experience do you have?

# 03 rOckY

I am not a pro.. what do you suggest i go through this roadmap?

# 04 real_magiz

I am practising with PT for my CCNA exam soon. can you help me anything?

# 05 Harold Carter

Here is a lab i use in my CCNA study groups. It is taken out of the 31 Days Before your CCNA study guide with some additional tweaks.  See if you can get it to work. I have the answer keys I have created, either as a completed project or each individual task.  Let me know what you think. In the zip file is the PT setup and the project tasks.  The cloud and ISP are already configured.

But I really don’t even know the set-up of the exam, like how many questions, is there like a lab session part and all, please fill me in.
