That's a really good idea... I wonder if I can get work to pay for that...

That's a nice router. I picked up a 2511 awhile ago, but never really ended up getting much use out of it. You don't really *need* a router to pass the CCNA, but it does help.

If you get the right IOS you should be able to do a lot of cool stuff on your home network if you're bored.

Aye. I am doing it for a variety of reasons though.

I have a Cisco router, too! Or, rather, my Linksys has a Cisco logo on it for some inexplicable reason!

Harrrrrrr.

TestKing PDF's that they sell are the ACTUAL test questions with answers. That is why new versions come out almost weekly with updated questions. People who use testking are papercert cheaters and give the people who put time and effort into getting a cert a bad name.

I just failed it 2 weeks ago (scored 586), the new test is nothing like any of the study materials available (including the Cisco Press books). Learn ACL and eACL's (concept and advanced troubleshooting) forward backward and in you nightmares before thinking about taking the new CCNA exam.

note: I'm the backup guy to our medium size network (I think we have about 60 or so switches ({including 2 redundant layer-5 core switches} and a dozen routers that I help administer)

Ah, okay. So they're like this:

ACL = access-list 101 deny ip any any

eACL = access-list 101 extended deny ip any any eq 666

more like

ip access-list 101 extended name<cr>
permit tcp host 10.1.1.2 eq www any<cr>
deny ip 10.1.3.0 0.0.0.255 10.1.2.0 0.0.0.255<cr>
permit ip any any<cr>
^Z

this one allows only 1 host to access any address using port 80
denies anything on subnet 10.1.3.0 from accessing anything on 10.1.2.0
and allows all other communications

The big differnce is standard ACL's don't allow you to choose protocols as efficiently, and with eACL's you can reuire more perameters be matched exactly (my example is pretty basic and more advanced perameters exist however I'm also still learning eACL's, otherwise I woulda passed the exam 2 weeks ago right ;))

Extended access lists are source and destination access lists. Standard access lists are source only. The CCNA was not bad when I took it a year ago...and I do not think they have changed the material at all.

I manage a PIX firewall, so I know what eACLs are, just never knew the abbreviation for them. Everything I've ever read just called them extended access lists or extended ACLs. I can write ACL entries in my sleep, trust me. ;)

Tell me in narrative form what you want to go in or out of a network and I'll write it for you. Right after I fall asleep... ;)

Which test did you take, the 640-801 (I don't know for sure if this one has even been out a year yet) or 640-507?

From talking with our network admin he said I should be able to pass blindfolded (he took the old ccna, and the current ccnp) and according to the 640-801 study materials and practice tests I shoulda made ~90-95% on the test. however the current study materials barely even mention ACL's let alone prepare you for the questions about them on the current exam.

I'm sure I got everything right on the test except for most of the ACL questions (which I'd estimate made up over 75% of the questions on the exam). I know a few of the conceptual answers on standard ACL's but alas, I basically wasted $200 (cost of the test + fuel for the 200mi. round trip to take the exam)
