Hi Keith, you mentioned this in your video, but I can't find it anywhere else. Can you tell me what happens when DTP negotiates and one side is "on" and the other is "auto"? Thank you so much.

[@KeithBarker]

Hi Amy Great question. There are a few things at play. If one side of a link is set trunk "ON", DTP (by default) is still enabled, and so the other end could be auto, and it would still form a trunk. Here is a great matrix and example www.learncisco.net/courses/icnd-2/vlans-and-spanning-tree/dynamic-trunking-protocol.html Hope that helps, and best wishes.

your point about questions being "great" hits home. MCSA asks idiotic trivia questions one after the other. I had to use Kaplan just to pass it. Frankly, I don't understand how people can pass the CCNA and be so weak on conceptual understanding of networking. I don't care about memorizing nomenclature, like the DNS packet structure.

[@jasonbanick8280]

Keith Barker, another way to look at, We are all beginning this journey to get our CCNA, you have created a CCNA family, once we earn our CCNA, some in the family will want to advance to CCNP, but maybe at that point they could use CBT nuggets to learn the more advance knowledge. Something to consider, (no need to reply to this thought) you started this following how do you maintain it once they have Earned their CCNA? Do you let them go or still put more content that is on subjects outside and advance CCNA. One final thought, all the study material is the same subjects, the difference is the delivery of it. We come to your channel because of your personality your energy and your graphics you are warm welcoming and human because we all love to see a few non planned things along the way which makes you human and makes me smile when you make a slight mistake like forgetting to change the camera view. Your reactions and just go with the flow approach is fun! Thank you for everything you do!

Hi Keith just a quick question, for example you book an 200-301 exam at the test center then later on you change your mind to home exam location would that be possible? thank you.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question Jeremy Westwood. I am not sure if changing from test center, to home is an option. You would need to contact VUE to see what their policy is.

[@kneedeepinthedoomed]

Does the new exam contain anything about WAN protocols such as PPP or Frame Relay? I'm looking at the blueprint and I'm wondering why the WAN stuff seems suspiciously absent. Do I still need to lab this? Do I need to lab other routing protocols besides OSPF? And how much VoIP is in there, do I need to do any VoIP labs? It seems like there are these giant holes in the official syllabus.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question. For the CCNA 200-301 there isn't anything specific in the exam topics (exam blueprint) regarding PPP or Frame Relay. No great reason to lab that up for the CCNA. For VoIP, the blueprint touches on high level QoS topics that could apply to voice traffic. Other than that, no VoIP lab work would be needed for CCNA. Hope that helps, and happy studies.

There are also all the PT labs I have made, available at thekeithbarker.com with new labs added each week. AT CBT there are also the built in virtual labs, that I encourage you to do as well, as part of that training.

Another great video from the KB forge! I actually have a question for you regarding test preparation. I expect to be more or less ready within the next two months to take the CCNA exam. Do you think it would be beneficial at that point to attend the ENCOR training classes as additional reinforcement for the CCNA material. This would tack on another two weeks or so of preparation time. I am not under a time constraint so this would be feasible for me...

[@KeithBarker]

Yes, absolutely

[@TheBavaNeche]

There is a guy saying that if you go ahead and study for CCNP -- 70% of CCNP is CCNA and if you Pay for and Take CCNP Test --- a person can forego CCNA. Is this true?

Thank you for the question Bava Neche. The CCNA is not required by Cisco for the CCNP, however the knowledge and skills in the CCNA are absolutely needed (and much more) for the CCNP. Hope that helps, and happy studies.

I just don’t want to be slowed down if the electronic pad is not as responsive. Thanks for your help...

Thank you for the question Shawn. Think of it like the basic free paint program in windows. It is a custom one that is part of their testing software interface. There is a basic text tool, pen tool, etc that you can use (using your keyboard and mouse). You may want to practice a bit with a basic paint program (the free one in windows) so that if you need it in the exam, it will be familiar.

Hi Keith i just want ask something if you dont mind? would it be safe to say that in order to prepare and pass ccna would it be like 60% (Labs) 40% theory( Book) or it depends on the persons comprehension/experienced? im confused i do have understanding on some topics and needs a thorough brush up plus the additional topics addded to the 200-301. what can you suggest i have this feeling that i dont want to read cover to cover on books. do you think 60% on labs and 40% on books works? i know its a case to case basis i just want to hear an advise on my thoughts? thank you.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question Jeremy. I would use the blueprint as the guide. Rank yourself on how well you meet each of the objectives, and continue to study on those areas you don't yet know well. If you lab most of what you are learning, that will help your learning the most.
