Practice Exams $59 through August 31

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

For the rest of the month, PrepLogic is keeping the price of our practice exams lowered to just $59. As many of you know, almost 80% of certified professionals use practice exams to pass their tests. So, if you’re working towards passing a certification exam it’s very important that you get a great practice exam that will help you get prepared for exam day.

For years, one of our most popular practice exams is for the CCNA certification. The Cisco CCNA Certification is still one of the most important credentials a technician can earn. PrepLogic’s Practice Exams give you the most practical and reliable training you can get for this exam with 6 complete practice test modules. You’ll have the option of using simulation mode, which is a straight up simulation of your exam, or learning mode which gives you the opportunity to customize and randomize the exam for your own needs. There’s over 340 questions available in this practice exam, which will give you plenty of experience answering questions before test day. Want to test your skills now? Check out this sample question from our CCNA Practice Exam:

Question
You have two routers within your network, and you need to enable RIP as your routing protocol. The routers are connected by the 192.168.1.0/24 network. Router A also has an interface in the 10.1.1.0/24 network. Router B has an interface in the 172.16.0.0/16 network. What are all the commands necessary to enable RIP on router B, and ensure all connected networks are reachable by router A?

Select the best answer.

A. router rip
B. router rip network 192.168.1.0
C. enable router rip network 10.0.0.0 network 192.168.1.0
D. router rip network 172.16.0.0 network 192.168.1.0

Exhibit:

Q63-Exhibit

The correct answer is D

Explanations
Answer A is incorrect because this command would just activate the routing protocol.

Answer B is incorrect. In order to ensure that router A learns all the connected networks on router B, you must use the network command for each interface, and directly connnected interfaces.

Answer C is incorrect because “enable router rip” is not a correct command.

Answer D is the correct choice. The “router rip” command activates RIP as the routing protocol. The “network” command then activates RIP processing for interfaces associated with the networks. In order for router B to propagate and receive information, both the 192.168.1.0 and 172.16.0.0 network statements must be present.

PrepLogic’s CCNA Practice Exam also provides advanced scoring and testing features to help increase your learning speed, as well as integration with Lecture Series audio training to give you audio coaching along the way. The everyday price for the CCNA practice exam is over $100, so now is a great time to pick it up for just $59. All of our practice exams will be discounted from now through August 31. If you have any questions about the CCNA Practice Exam (or any of our other exams for Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco and many more) give our guys a call at 1-800-418-6789. Thanks and good luck on your exam.

Take Your CCNP All the Way to the FBI

Friday, July 16th, 2010
If you’re interested in a career as an IT professional, but don’t want to be stuck in a boring office, then maybe the FBI is right for you. Investigating high-tech crime is becoming a huge priority, and the FBI needs talented people with excellent tech skills to work on those cases. One way to join the ranks of Mulder, Scully and all of those other cool FBI agents is to have your bachelor’s degree and one of Cisco’s advanced certifications like the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) or Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE).
Recently Cisco has streamlined the entire CCNP program,
http://www.preplogic-training.com/index.php/2010/02/03/all-about-ciscos-ccnp-overhaul-for-2010/
trimming it down from four exams to three. Here’s a quick breakdown of the three new exams:
ROUTE (642-902)
The ROUTE exam went live this March. According to the Cisco, passing the ROUTE (642-902) exam will “certify that the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills necessary to use advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalable and secure Cisco ISR routers connected to LANs and WANs.”
SWITCH (642-813)
SWITCH (642-813) became available on March 10, 2010. The Cisco Learning Network site says that passing this exam “will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions using Cisco’s Campus Enterprise Architecture.”
TSHOOT (642-832)
TSHOOT is Cisco’s toubleshooting and problem solving component of the CCNP. It became available on April 30, 2010.  “TSHOOT 642-832 exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to (1) plan and perform regular maintenance on complex enterprise routed and switched networks and (2) use technology-based practices and a systematic ITIL-compliant approach to perform network troubleshooting.”
Training products for all three of the new CCNP courses are available now from PrepLogic. If you’re a Networking Unlimited Access user, you’ll see these titles automatically be added to your menu of available courses.

PrepLogic Focus on CCNP Route (642-902) and CCNP Switch (642-813)

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Earlier this year, Cisco announced broad changes to the Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) certification. The requirements for the certification were consolidated to three certification exams, CCNP Route (642-902), CCNP Switch (642-813) and CCNP TSHOOT (642-832). The curriculum changes were designed to be a better gauge of a Cisco professionals job-specific abilities.

The new criteria have been well-received. According to one source  “this is the best thing Cisco could have done as far as refocusing their networking content. The condensed and restructured courses enable network professionals to study in a better flow. The new path makes more sense and simplifies the learning process by testing the easier, hardware and configuring skills first, via the routing and switching exams, and then moving onto more complex troubleshooting skills in the final exam.”

Just last week, the CCNP Route and CCNP Switch exams became available to the public. So now that they’re out, let’s take a brief refresher on what you’re going to see on these new CCNP certification exams.

The CCNP Route (642-902) exam will test the knowledge and skills necessary to use advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalable and secure Cisco ISR routers connected to LANs and WANs. The exam covers configuration of secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers.  CCNP Route (642-902) exam topics include:

  • Implement an EIGRP based solution, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Implement a multi-area OSPF Network, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Implement an eBGP based solution, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Implement an IPv6 based solution, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Implement an IPv4 or IPv6 based redistribution solution, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Implement Layer 3 Path Control Solution

The CCNP Switch (642-813) exam will test the knowledge and skills necessary to to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions as well as implement secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice and voice.  CCNP Switch (642-813) exam topics include:

  • Implement VLAN based solution, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Implement a Security Extension of a Layer 2 solution, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Implement Switch based Layer 3 services, given a network design and a set of requirements
  • Prepare infrastructure to support advanced services
  • Implement High Availability, given a network design and a set of requirements

CCNP TSHOOT (642-832) is currently in Beta testing with the real exam expected to be available April 30, 2010. PrepLogic is currently developing a full complement of training for the new 2010 CCNP including Practice Exams, Printables, Quiz Me and Lecture Series audio training, Mega Guides and video training. You can expect to see the first products hit the shelves this spring. If you have questions about the new CCNP, give PrepLogic a call at 1-800-418-6789.
