    @ Mindlos

    ICND1 has 50 questions consisting of multiple choices, drag and drop, sims, and sub netting.

    The passing score for ICND1 is 805

    To do sub netting without calculating, simply use this format
    Decimal Value 128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255
    2nd Octet /9 /10 /11 /12 /13 /14 /15 /16
    3rrd Octet /17 /18 /19 /20 /21 /22 /23 /24
    4th Octet /25 /26 /27 /28 /29 /30 /31 /32
    Subnet Increments 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

    hope that helps!

    I took ICND 1 and it did not go well, it was my first time and I was bug down with doing subnetting using binary, this take too long better use decimal path, and when sim question start pop up I was left with few time so as you know I had to do what I got do to just mark all questions. Look I figure it out that you have 120 min with 50 questions. That means you have only 2.4min on every question so you need quick thinking close but not close to CPU). Time pressure – you need to find a way to cut time pressure down. I’m going back again with help of 9tut I have find many way to cut time pressure and new trick. Finger cross!

    Failed AGAIN.. 787.. really not sure what i missed.. got 100% on security simlet (banner option is correct btw), said i got 60% on imp. of routed office, and %50 on WAN questions, dont know how or what i missed because i know those sims (it was the 2nd one), I had plenty of time and i went over each question, well third time is a charm, any suggestions?

    Passed first attempt 912/1000 had 2 mins to spare so i didnt fly through fought it was pretty hard but cbt nuggets, train signal, todd lammle and wendell Odem books helped me and 9tut.net of course another site that is good is subnettingquestions.com which was actually reccommended on this site so i’m just confirming what has been said before.

    forgot to mention i used packet tracer alot aswell

  9. kgardner
    July 6th, 2012

    Just passed ICND1 with a 950, first try! I got the Security testlet, implementation sim and the show config sim. Drag and drops were for DHCP, routing protocols and the IOS copy cmds.

    Know your subnetting first and the basic paths of a packet, datagram, etc. and you’ll do fine.

    Pass ICND 1 second attempt, if u read my previous comment (8 comments above from this). This site help me cut down time pressure almost 6 questions came from this site exactly without any twist on them. Preparing for ICDN2 fingure cross!

    Passed ICND1 yesterday, 974 with 30 mins to spare. Exam was much easier than i expected. I used CBT nuggets, configure terminal & the Cisco press book. Know subnetting, subnettingquestions.com (although i did expect more questions on subnetting), show commands, the sims, the drag & drop questions on here, everything kgardner & irishdave said…on to icnd2 – which I expect to be 10 times harder!

    Hi there, Iยดm happy to announce that I passed ICND1 today scoring 974 with 27 minutes left. My studying material was the following:

    CBT nuggets
    Pass4sure
    Testking
    Lead2pass
    Boson
    subnetting.com

    Boson was a lot more difficult than Pass4sure or Testking, but it was really helpful to understand and gain the knowledge required to pass this certification.

    I got the ATM, PSTN, FR and Leased Line drag&drop question, the lab where you need to put 4 routers and find out their local interfaces by using “sh cdp neighbors” command and another one available on this website (the one where you have to use “show interfaces” to answer 4 questions.

    No more study today but back to work from tomorrow, planning to take ICND2 before the end of summer.

    Good luck to all and thx for this awesome site.

    Passed today, 974/1000. Thx to 9tut!
    The questions were like darko.

    July 10th, 2012

    >>the lab where you need to put 4 routers and find out their local interfaces by using โ€œsh cdp neighborsโ€ command
    Better to use “sh cdp neighbors detail” command, because all subnets have the same mask.
    Also i got Security Testlet, 4 questions. “Welcome” in banner is unsecured message!

  17. Numer
    July 10th, 2012

    I used “sh cdp neighbors” command + sh interfaces to find out the different subnets in use.

    Also, I only had one wireless question and no questions at all about GUI.

    Are there SDM questions on ICND1. Cisco and most recommendations say know it but I’d rather not fill my head with information that simply isn’t needed.

  19. mindlos
    July 12th, 2012

    i wrote i failed i scored 512,
    i ddnt finish the exam,what i wanted was time i did only 30 questions out of 50
    i hard 3 sims and i spend 15 minuetes each
    and lot of subneting
    all i need is speed………..how can i improve my speed on subneting and sims
    i think i am little bit slow
    is there any chance that i can get the same questions when i write for the second time

    for those that passed, have they got revision notes etc they could share for us????

    @mindlos: look for magical number subnet calculation.

    e.g:

    192.168.0.76 /28
    there are 4 bits missing to the full octet, so you calculate 2^4 = 16

    now you know the possible subnets are multiples of 16 :
    192.168.0.0,
    192.168.0.16,
    192.168.0.32,
    192.168.0.48,
    192.168.0.64,
    192.168.0.80,
    192.168.0.96.

    ip 192.168.0.76 resides in subnet 192.168.0.64, with possible hosts from .65 to .78. broadcast is the next subnet – 1, which is 192.168.0.79

    also, if youยดre not a nativ speaker and need much time to understand the questions, learn better english

    passed this morning with 910, with 30 mins to spare

    1. used cbt nuggets, first just watching the videos, (the nugget labs are very valuable to get an understanding), CBT NUGGETS was vital for me

    2. then used train signal (chris bryant) to fill in the gaps he is.

    3. once i felt confidant enough i started practicing the exam questions using lead2pass. lead2pass is very good to understand the type of questions that you will get in the exam and the gaps you have in your knowledge.

    4. then i went and watched the video’s again but this time making notes. you wont realise how much you missed unless you have an idea of what kind of info cisco wants you to know.

    5. Used packet tracer for labs although I did buy physical routers from ebay I probably could have done without them.

    my advice, know the concepts inside out, especially subnetting, had a few questions on this. tcp 3 way handshake, also had DHCP order (DORA), show cdp neighbours, general show commands, make sure you understand the running-config and the different parts on it (banner, how many vty lines, ssh or telnet, service password-enc), backing up the router switch using copy run tftp etc

    Has anyone used the pass4sure? I have currently finshed ccent for dummies and the cbt nuggets videos(mutiple times) I am using the pass4sure now and I am not having any problems passing the virtual exams. I just wonder how close is this to the real exam.

    TIA

    Feel confident, but not 100%. Wanna take some practice exams which give idea for the real exam, like kind of exams that come in the real exam.

    Can anyone tell me where to practice the test from? Please.

    I would really appreciate any input..

I used the Todd Lammle books, Boson Labs, and this site. I’m gonna donate via Paypal as soon as I finish posting. I intend to use this site further during my ICND2 studies, so donate a little $$ is the least I can do.

    9tut
    Cisco.Lead2pass.640-822.v2012-04-06.by.Daniel.339q VCE

    Watch the videos and follow along w/ Cisco Packet Tracer
    Review all of 9tut
    Take VCE exam researching questions you don’t know as they come up

    I used the todd lamle ICND1 book mostly for reference. I could’ve gotten by without it just googling key words on topics.

    Implemetation Sim was on the test.

    Show Configuration Sim was on the test.

    Security Testlet was on the test. (banner message is a threat)

    DORA drag and drop was on the test.

    PSTN – circuit
    ATM – cell
    Frame Relay – packet
    PPP – leased
    drag and drop was on the test.

    Again, my study method worked. I watched the videos while playing along with packet tracer. Then I went through every topic on 9tut reading all comments at the end. This gave me a general idea of what was happening and then I started taking the VCE exam w/ the ‘daniel’ file researching each question i didn’t know as it came up.

    “Matters of great concern should be treated lightly, matters of small concern should be treated seriously.”

    Thank you to 9tut and all who contributed. Good luck everyone.

    For those who took the exam already, there are sims and questions on here regarding RIP protocols but what about EIGRP, OSPF? Are those not until ICND2 or were there questions regarding them on ICND1?

  47. cassie
    August 10th, 2012

    thanks 9tut. lead2pass is legit, just don’t memorize the answer, some subnet mask and values are changed. i encountered many drag and drops not in here, like the ones with dns pstn atm dhcp leased line, and another one i completely forgot about.

  54. mmmmm
    August 17th, 2012

    I have read that the ICND2 is a good deal more difficult. But as with anything preparation is everything and having the right study material….I am still working on ICND 1…I took it last week and did not pass, almost though. I was not prepared for the multi tasking part of the exam and I just found this website via a friend and think I will be fine for 2nd time. I wish I had known more about the exam, I would have done a good deal better. I am not used to failing anything. I know some people that passed the ICND 2 with the help of this website though as well. Congrats on ICND1.

    Thanks everybody out there at 9tut.com. I passed my ICDN1 today and I scored 1000/1000 damn happy today:D:D For ICND1 test takers I would say just know your stuff and clear your understanding as to how network works and you can easily get through it.

    Thanks again 9tut and all its users. CCNA here I comes ๐Ÿ™‚

    Taking my CCENT exam tomorrow, August 20th. I have read Wendell Odoms Cisco press book, studied questions here and from exam collection. Worked with all simulations in packet tracer.

    I feel like I am ready. Huge thanks to 9tut! I feel like this is the best website out there.

    I will post my results tomorrow and any additional information about my exam.

    Wish me luck!

    August 19th, 2012

    Steen in regards to subnetting i also had alot of troublw with this at first. I suggest to use subnettingquestions.com to warm up and practice.

    I used subnettingquestions.com until I was able to do every question on the site quick and some of them i can even do in my head.

    That site is good. Also CBT nuggets has helped with subnetting ๐Ÿ™‚

    Good luck studying !!

  61. Electronicoo
    August 19th, 2012

    sorry last comment was for @Pally

  62. Steen
    August 20th, 2012

    Electronicoo, thanks for the advice, but I feel really solid with my subnetting. I can do subnetting questions in my head within 15 seconds or less.

    Just an FYI, I have passed the CCNA 6 years ago, I just let it expire because I was in networking and took a job in SAP administration for 5 years. I have been back in networking for the last year and decided to go the ICND1/ICND2 route this time. Also when I passed the CCNA 6 years ago I went to a 1 week “Bootcamp” and only learned enough to pass the test. This time I am taking my time and focusing on learing all the concepts because I want to continue on for my CCNP.

    Here is my quick refrence subnetting table I will draw out on my markerboard prior to the test:

    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 0 /16 /24 increment 256
    1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 128 /17 /25 increment 128
    1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 192 /18 /26 increment 64
    1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 = 224 /19 /27 increment 32
    1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 = 240 /20 /28 increment 16
    1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 = 248 /21 /29 increment 8
    1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 = 252 /22 /30 increment 4
    1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 = 254 /23 increment 2

    Eventhough I feel confident subnetting in my head, I like to have this quick refrence chart for the tests just to eliminate any mental mistakes. I will be nervous enough just taking the exam. Not sure if this will help anyone or not, but the way I subnet this is the perfect table.

    Best of luck Electronicoo tomorrow. I hope to see us both posting high passing scores tomorow so we can focus on ICND2.

  63. PASSED 937 out of 1000
    August 20th, 2012

    Thank you 9tut for all the help.

    I passed with a 937 out of 1000 I had around 25 min left.

    I used CBT nuggets , 9tut ๐Ÿ™‚ , subettingquestions.org , and read the ICND1 Sybex book.

    After studying all the information I tested my self with lead2pass practice exams which helped me get comfortable and confident for todays exam.

    STEEN good luck to you today hope to see your post later on !

    As far as what type of questions were on the exam. Defintely study the SIMS on this site and know DORA , Subnetting , NAT , Switch Frame destination, ARP.

    Any questions you guys may have Im here to help if needed. You can reach me at techalert@electronicoo.com

  64. Steen
    August 20th, 2012

    PASSED 925/1000 with 62 minutes remaining.

    I was excited to see that I passed but disappointed that I only made 925. I was extremely confident that I did not miss one single question. I wish I knew what questions I actually missed.

    Here is a list of the materials that I used to prepare:
    9tut
    Train Signal video collection
    Cisco Press ICND1 book by Wendell Odom
    Cisco Packet Tracer
    ExamCollection with lead2pass questions (I only used this after I had completely read the entire Cisco Press Book).
    Equipment from work. (Luckily I already work in networking and have lots of spare equipment to practice on)

    I had the following simulations today: Implementation sim where you need to use “sh cdp neighbor detail” and Security Sim with questions about the logon banners. I only had one drag and drops: ATM/FrameRelay/PSTN/P2P (not on this site).

    The Majority of the rest of the questions were very similar if not identical to the ones listed on this site. The exam questions on examcollection are also valid.

    Hope this helps.

    Congratulations Electronicoo on passing today also! I will see you in the ICND2 9tut website ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks 9tut. I will be donating and signing up for premium membership to show my support of this awesome site!

  65. PASSED 937 out of 1000
    August 20th, 2012

    AWESOME GREAT JOB STEEN!! SEE YOU ON ICND2 ๐Ÿ™‚

    I also had the Security SIMS I picked the banner being wrong because it said “welcome”

    I also had the SIM on ATM/FrameRelay/PSTN/P2P (not on this site).

    Steen I will also be donating and signing up for premium service, how do i sign up i dont see a sign up button anywhere?

    This site is still very valid and I also used the lead2pass exam only after I read the entire book and understood everything.

    @PASSED 937: Could you please describe more about the SIM on ATM/FrameRelay/PSTN/P2P? I will add it on this site when I have enough information about it.

    @9tut: the ATM/FrameRelay/PSTN/P2P is a drag and drop

    There are 4 options:
    1. Cell Switching
    2. Packet Switching
    3. Leased Line
    4. Circuit Switching

    and you have to drag them to the following: ATM, Frame Relay, Point-to-Point, PSTN

    Cell Switching = ATM
    Packet Switching = Frame Relay
    Leased Line = Point-to-Point
    Circuit Switching = PSTN

    Hope this helps!

    I passed yesterday with a score of 962 with 37 minutes left, this is a great site to help you and also if you can get VCE practice exams they help allot! Remember to get the concepts of all the technologies sorted out first before moving onto doing the practice questions and you’ll be fine, thanks to everyone involved with 9tut looking forward to my ICND2

    I took the ccna alone test and failed twice. I want to try the ICND1/2 exam now. What’s the difference between the ICND 1 and 2? are there simulations in each exam?

    @student
    practice the CLI usage in packettracer and read the explanation that comes along with each and every question that is answered here. on the exam you will be facing variations of these questions if not almost identical questions.
    good luck studying!

    Hello All-
    Great Site- had to join.
    I am taking my ICND1 exam on Friday and I was wondering if there were just certain SIM’s that will be on this particular exam or if all of the SIM’s on this site are in play?
    I just found out there are these types of SIM’s on the exam.
    The cheap training material I bought made it sound as if it was mostly multiple choice.
    Can someone please advise me on which ones to work on for the ICND1 exam.
    Thanks

    August 23rd, 2012

    @sascomp: you will get one or two of the sims listed on this site. Study and understand them all. There are even packettracer labs on here you can download. Know how to configure Rip v2.

    @Student: study and understand all the questions in the ICND1 section of this website. I had several that were very similar if not identical to the questions shiwn here.

    Should i take icnd1 or just ccna alone?
    i failed ccna twice and it was really hard in a short period of time.
    will icnd1 and icnd2 be much easier to achieve ccna?

    Took this exam 2 weeks ago and missed it by 5 pts! First time I had seen the drag&drop for 1. Cell Switching 2. Packet Switching 3. Leased Line 4. Circuit Switching. Make sure to use 9tut for the sims and drag&drops and some of the Lead2Pass are mixed up. Besides missing two silly questions that still haunt me to this day… I also couldnt get my show cdp neighbors command to work. I plan on making this exam my B**** tomorrow !!!

    @ Student: There are different opinions which way is easier to get your CCNA. I passed the CCNA 6 years ago, but I never fully learned all the concepts. I went to a bootcamp and they taught us just enough to pass the CCNA test. This time I want to progress past the CCNA to the CCNP and maybe CCIE level and didnt want just a “Paper Certification”, so I am taking the time and effort to make sure I fully understand all the concepts. I feel this will give me the foundatin I need going forward.

    The ICND1/ICND2 tests break the material basically in half where as with the CCNA you need to know all of it. The ICND1/ICND2 both have approx 55 – 60 questins each for a total of 110 – 120 questions for the CCNA. The CCNA exam has about 55 questions by itself. So some argue that the CCNA is the easier way but it is more broad.

    @Z: Good Luck man! Wish you the Best.

    Scored a 899 !!! I got to the point where I could do the entire 339 Lead2pass dump in less than an hour. Although, I did stumble when it came to the Command Lines. I got the Implementation Sim for a second time, and another I had yet to seen; but nothing too crazy. We need to add 1. Cell Switching 2. Packet Switching 3. Leased Line 4. Circuit Switching to the Drag&Drops !!!!! I was given this again but by reading these comments I was prepaired. I did go through a month of actual studying before those accuse me of just memorizing lol

    1st time visiting here and blown away. Sat ICND1 twice: 1st time failed 724 then studied harder failed again 712 on the 17th August 2012 …no help from any websites.
    Gutted but determined to use more recources.
    I had the implement sim which threw me and sunetting IDs which also threw me.
    All comments highly appreciated. Payback with exam info whe I take it next…

  97. YAH!
    August 27th, 2012

    Pass the test today
    920

    For the drag and drop had
    -DORA
    -Frame relay switching one
    -ARP TCP DNS one

    Had the Show Configuration SIM,Implementation SIM
    Also had the Security ARP and i chose the banner both times as a security threat cause it had Welcome and got 100% for security .

    The rest were multiple choice.
    None where from this site

    Need to know how to subset or you will fail.

    Also for for other tips
    When i started the exam.you get a 15 min tutorial how to use the exam interface.its the same one off the cisco website.
    Ur timer doesn’t start till after you click finish for the tutorial or the 15 mins.
    I use the entire time to write on my 3 whiteout sheets for numbers,commands,etc just for references.

    Passed ICND1 yesterday with a 937.
    Just realized that since it was my second attempt that if I had failed again, then I would have had to wait 180 days before re-taking. So be sure and try and pass the first time or be VERY prepared for the second attempt.
    I was told that you could take as many times as you wanted, but that is not the case.
    Fail 2 times and you cannot take the same test for 6 months.
    One way around it is to taken the entire 640-802 for both the ICND1 and ICND2 together.
    I was broadsided by the SIMS the first time and ran out of time and barely failed.
    The cheesy training material I had purchased made it sound as if the test would just be multiple choice and selecting commands, no real SIM’s.
    This site was very instrumental in understanding the commands and concepts I had learned about and then applying them to real world SIM’s on this site.
    If you know the concepts and then practice the SIM’s on this site and other sites you should be fine.
    I practiced and learned all the SIM’s here before re-taking ICND1 and now I have a head start on the ICND2, which I am working on now.
    I had the Drag and Drop Simlet for the routers, the show configuration SIM, and the security testlet, which I selected the Banner as a threat because both said “welcome” and I got 100% on security. There was one other answer that could have been right but after reading about the Banners being threats, I selected them.
    Good Luck!

    @ Yippe
    It is actually if you pass you have to wait 180 days before you can take the same exam again you just passed.
