Please share your exam dumps please

[@cd8496]

When becoming a TAC Engineer at Cisco, did they require any prior experience ? If so how many?

[@cd8496]

Also, please create a video on setting up Radius to authenticate against your windows AD.

I helped work on the ENCOR and ENARSI exams for Boson. So glad you loved them!

[@AlexGrayTech]

Michael Aldridge awesome work my friend, they are a great prep for the exam without a doubt!!

[@funkvids69]

The Boson software was great for me on the CCNA. Thanks for your efforts. I'm going to attend the Boson CCNP bootcamp soon.

[@marcinabiszewski8878]

Hi. Thank you very much for this video. Currently I am preparing to ENARSI exam. Everything that you said is very helpful. Regards from Poland.

[@maxitampaxi]

Great overview. I have been CCNA certified for 6 years now and work for a Huge Medical company that uses Cisco routers and switches. The attention to detail part you mentioned in the last part of the video is very important! So many times I have saved my own ass, because I stopped myself from rushing and making sure I knew what I was doing before going forward. If anything these tests help reinforce that. Thanks for the info, I am now studying for my ENCOR exam.

[@lancelee3476]

certainly hope you could create the practice labs you mentioned in your video. looking forward to labbing them if enough people ask for them too

[@AlexGrayTech]

10 pack of labs in the process of being created now :D

@@AlexGrayTech they ever get made? Just found your channel, good stuff!

[@TheBeach5563]

Congrats Alex, I saw a few weeks ago about your Encor success. Thats awesome and thanks for all the advice. Im still working on Encor. Not sure if I will do ENAUTO or ENARSI but will refer back to this video.

[@AlexGrayTech]

ENAUTO looks really cool man, I still might like to get that my self. Let me know if you go down that route!

[@TheBeach5563]

@@AlexGrayTech cool will do that. Actuall taking a Cisco ISE class this week. We will be putting it on our DMZ firewall. My brain is about to crak open man : ). Im trying to decide if I should get the Cisco ISE cert. Wish we had DNA. The teacher is talking a lot about it in this class.

How did you get the jobs for cisco TAC? I'm very interested to join Cisco as TAC engineer

[@EndersGT]

Super interested in labs based on ENARSI objectives!

[@AlexGrayTech]

10 Pack is on the way! It's gonna be a great set of labs ;D

[@sandromilk]

Excellent explanation and tips for tests and for lifetime career! Thanks! Muito obrigado! 😉

[@williamkennedy7313]

How difficult was it to get a job as a Cisco TAC engineer with the limited experience you have? Did you continue to work at Cisco after you got your CCNP or did a lot more doors open up once you got your CCNP. Breaking into the network game from helpdesk hasn’t been easy for me. Any advice would help

[@AlexGrayTech]

Hey man, I got hired with limited experience in MSP work basically help desk for small businesses in my local area. All they really cared about was my degree though. If you have a bachelors, that’s all you need to get into Cisco. They hired a guy who had only an associates but his salary was lower. CCNP will open doors outside Cisco as far as recruiters go, but it did not help me with my tac job really at all outside of exposing me to route redistribution stuff and problems that come with that. I still work for Cisco on the data center route switch team but am evaluating my options internally and externally. Covid has messed everything up for everyone so don’t feel too bad. I went through 3 interviews to get in Cisco, one was in person but obviously that’s not how they do it now. Some of the new people they’ve hired in, I don’t think it’s very difficult to get a job with us lol. Technical Consulting Engineer is the title you want to look for, and if you have the option try for new grad positions.

[@Reason_over_Dogma]

@@AlexGrayTech damn. Didn't know the bachelor's was that big of a deal. I gotta make sure I get mine done then. Sucks. because I hate school. Currently finishing up an as in networking. took a lateral move seeing I already had an associates. Not knowing I could go straight to a bachelor's.

[@rodney11ism]

How was the TAC engineer interview experience? I’m currently doing the CTIP Apprenticeship program.

[@gd2860]

@@AlexGrayTech what’s that pay look like tho? Cisco always be hitting me up!

Congrats on passing the exam. Love your videos. Did you use whitepapers? And if you did, would you share the links ? I'm thinking to build lab in EVE-NG, would 32 gig ram be enough ?

[@AlexGrayTech]

32g should be ok. For white papers just anything on vendor sites is good

[@OmarAli-iz7xy]

Thank you for the guidance.I want to ask I have ccna also passed the ccnp encore but Until now I didn't have experience work..it's good idea to studying enrsi or after get job in the networking field

[@AlexGrayTech]

Sure, it's never a bad idea if you have the time and can afford it!

Try now, I should have fixed it. Certbot is acting up and not auto renewing for some reason. My website has kinda taken a back seat to other passions in my life at the moment. I wish I could free more time for my self to work on all the things I love! Thank you for notifying me. :D
