Share your ICND2 Experience

Hello everybody, just passed ICND1 and now preparing for ICND2, can someone please let me know where I can download CBT Nuggets videos for ICND2 or where I can buy them from. Thank you

which dump and labs are coming?any help will do

I failed my ICND2 yesterday afternoon with a mark of 748 and the passing mark is 825, I was 77 points off which I presume is around 5 more correct questions. There actually was not a lot of stuff from 9tut on there – I had a total of 45 questions on my exam and I’d say only about 10 of them I recognised from 9tut which isn’t exactly a great ratio. I was surprised as 9tut was so great for when I took and passed ICND1 and I recognised so many of the questions on there from 9tut. But not so great for the ICND2 exam I did yesterday. VTP and Frame Relay sims were on there. I had a mind panic moment on the vtp sim when I was trying to enter the gateway address in the interface command line when its gotta be in global config…. Anyway I sank too much time into that sim and as a result I ran out of time and had to guess the the last 4 answers without even reading the questions.

I also had to rush through the Frame Relay sim due to lack of time (think it was my question 41) where if I could have just taken the time I would have got full marks as its an easy sim. There also seemed to be an awful lot of questions on switchport security, IPv6 and NAT – all areas that I am slightly weak on. I think the large focus on IPv6 stuff is not fair as there aren’t a lot of IPv6 practice questions out there in order to help you familiarise yourself with them. And besides, I thought having more stuff on IPv6 was the point of the new exam being introduced in October…

So Im surprised at how many questions were on there that I didn’t recognise and shocked at how many questions seemed to asking about obscure material. To some degree it does ‘feel’ like the exam was ‘trying’ to trip me up. I’m pretty bitter and quite gutted about it. Suppose I will take it again next week or something. Really thrilled about that….really thrilled……can you tell how excited I am?

Hi Jay, thanks for the detailed review. I know it’s depressing, hang in there. You will definitely get it next time 🙂

Jay,

No offence Jay but tbh you were almost 100 points away from passing. If you study the areas you are weak on and bring yourself up to speed you WILL pass & you’ll find you will be a better CCNA from it. Dont look at it as though its a bad thing, as you dont want to JUST know the material… Dont forget the foundation knowledge of networking is learnt at CCNA, you have to know a hell of alot more to troubleshoot effectively.

Just took the new icnd2. No config sims, no ip6, 1 show command simlet on frame relay
Plenty eigrp, ospf, and frame relay. Passed with a 965. 3 drag and drop on routing protocols.
Sorry cant remember any more, still buzzing.

In response to ‘Some guy’ – to be fair to I do appreciate what your saying and agree it is better to understand the material rather than learn questions. I’ve always maintained that while some questions are remembered, I do understand whats going on aswell, most of the time anyway. If I’m honest those weaker areas of mine that I mentioned, NAT, switchport security and IPv6; switchport security – I actually thought this was ICND1 (been a while since I took it so thats my bad), NAT – I do get what it does although the nitty gritty of it loses me a bit so I need to look at this more, IPv6 – I literally thought I may get 1 question on this asking me something along the lines of how many bits make up an IPv6 address and not much more than that, I didn’t know it was covered in so much depth.

But yeah, agreed I need to further look at these topics. My time-management didn’t do me any favours, it was annoying that I had a bit of a ‘moment’ on a simple sim and it sucks that I ran out of time and had to completely guess the last 4 questions as I will have undoubtebly thrown away easy marks, (don’t even think my last answer even got submitted as think I ran out of time). To be fair to myself, I know it seems like I was quite a few marks away from passing but I don’t think its a true reflection of my knowledge. Its not an easy exam generally and a large step up from ICND1. Initially, I wanted to re-take as soon as I could but have realised this week isn’t a great one for me as have a lot on schedule-wise. So I think the re-take is going to be next week for me and I will spend the time in between going over stuff and doing more practice questions.

Failing is just a bit gutting though, especially when you pay so much to take the exam.

This was my second time taking ICND2 and I failed agin with a 790. I though I was doing so well with the exam so you can imagine just how shocked and piss I was when it said “NO”. i do not where where I am falling short on…

Just read my post…. Wow !!! I really needed spell check on this…. My print out said that “Implementing and verify WAN links” was my problem area anyone have any advice…

Hello everyone, I am taking the exam this Friday, and I wanted to ask a couple questions to those of you who took it recently, maybe Jay, Canada Joe, or Bridge and jump in….

I know my VTP Sim and have it down, and I think I will be fine on multiple choice…

but my big question is the Frame Relay Testlet/Sim everyone keeps mentioning…. can anyone link me or tell me what specifically/exactly that one is. I want to be prepared!

Thank you so much

I think they are talking about this Frame Relay Teslet/Sim
http://www.9tut.com/ccna-hotspot-questions

Let me know if I am wrong…

@ Eric – I believe Nick is correct.

Nick and Broffredo, thanks for the reply,

That was the one I thought it was as well, I just wanted to make sure, greatly appreciated… 2 more days and I find out!

@ Eric – ok great. Let us know how it goes for you

@Eric: Good luck for your exam… I have mine next month.. do share your experience pls

Hi – Can someone describe what the fram-relay testlet is like? is it something that needs to be configured or is it a series of questions where you need to enter commands to get the answers? any help would be great. Also is the the sims all here on 9tut?

thanks

Hello! I have just wrote the exam about an hour ago – 958, went well. If you study 9tut and the HeavyMod dump (271 questions 40 something votes) on exam collection you will be 100% set for the exam.

VTP and Frame Relay – frame relay was just the 4 questions Nick pointed out a few comments back – follow his link to the frame relay hotspot.

I took ICND1 and passed. Im studying for ICND2. Where should I focus my 9tut efforts? The pages with all CCNA 640-802, OR… Just the ICND2 640-816 section will do? TIA

Just the ICND2 640-816 section will do… that is what I did…

@ Haji ICND2 640-816 seems there are only few exam topics, do you think it would be good to review ACL, IPv6, NAT, DHCP, Security, Troubleshooting & some topics in the CCNA 640-802 as well? Tnx

Took ICND2 today and pass with 972. Study ICND2 640-816 section and HeavyMod Dump and you should be fine. 99% are from HeavyMod Dump. I new drag n drop but if you know basic access list then you should be fine.

Got VTP Configuration Sim, Frame Relay hotspot, OSPF Sim. Just understand basics since they trick you in few questions.

Now have to study for CCNP… Best of luck!!

passed! 958…same stuff as nick posted. study and understand and you’ll do fine. wendell odom’s book, cbt nuggets and heavymod, thanks a million!

@ Eric, Haji, Nick & Scott – Did you get any ACL & IPv6 questions, or can someone please let me know what else do I need to study? I wanna be prepared!

Thanks in advance.

@Greg, yeah there were a bunch of both. they were all on HeavyMod’s dump

Congratz Scott and thanks a lot.

Jay – I hope you pass bud, I would suggest viewing Chris Bryants video’s as he really goes alot in depth about all topics rather than just glossing over like CBT Nuggets does. He has a sale on atm and i think its only $40.

Try not to let the fail get you down, as I said just think of it as a learning experience and you just need to learn abit more about IPV6, NAT etc to pass. Make sure you are all over configuring NAT Pools,NAT overload etc as that is a possible sim they can ask. If need to ask anything let me know.

Congrats Eric, Nick and Scott.. I have about 30 days until I take my exam.

I commented that the material found on the website is outdated and fails to pass the exam 640-816

@ Slype, how did you know, did you take the exam? Could you tell us about what are the coverage or topics you have encountered?

Re-certified CCNA today by passing ICND2 with 900+ score!

Labs were VTP, Frame Relay Sim, and OSPF Hotspot. 3 D&D

I can confirm that 80% material on this site to be accurate. CBT Nuggets, Work Experience, and HeavyMod dump worked for me! Good luck to all.

Going to take my 2nd try at ICND2 tomorrow, and boy do I wish I had seen and used 9tut before the exam T.T so many questions that appear familiar… thanks to the explanations I think I can figure out all the stuff I didn’t get last time. wish me luck!

passed icnd 986. 9tut is a great site!!!

oops icnd 2.

Mistro 9tut has it going on great site. Took test on Saturday (7/6/2013) cut a 720 however vtp and frame relay sims were on the exam as well as the drag and drops questions. My weak areas were WAN and IPV6. I will be ready next time.

Thank you 9tut for providing me with the exact information needed to pass the ICND1 (837) and ICND 2 (860) certifications. I had the VTP sim, OSPF hot spot, Operations Q1 and Q3, STP Q6, RIP Q2/Q9, EIGRP Q10, and many other questions from the examcollection heavymod.vce. I also used Bryan’s Advantage ICND1/ICND2 book and part of Wendell Odem’s ICND2 book.

Can someone please give me a link to the ospf hotspot question that is on the actual, I can’t seem to find it!

Thanks

I passed the ICND 2 exam today! I used the 640-816 cisco press book, cbt nuggets, and this site! Thanks 9tut!!!!

Can someone please give me a link to the ospf hotspot question that is on the actual, I can’t seem to find it!
Thanks

I’ve passedmy Icnd 2 today score of 930, VTP, Frame relay sim one has to use the command show running-config and to the see the password use show running-config. Security Drag and drop and I passed that with knowledge as its not on the website or on any dumps, overall this website is excellent, however keep in mind one must know his/her stuff….any questions just ask me people….Donating to this site shortly

I have a question if someone can help me with after completing and obtaining the CCNA- via the ICND 1 and ICND 2 route , which Cisco requirement/essential is in demand on the job market, ie security, routing and switching etc etc , I hope my question makes sense to everyone…

ricky123 – the entire internet IS routing & switching, we all need security, we all have a voice, and wireless is beautiful. its more of a question of which one do u wanna do. personally i’m a generalist and want to do it all. my heart is into security but i want to master R&S 1st so i can better secure it. you can’t lose with R&S, most companies run/need voice and of course, security. if u r unsure stick with R&S until you starting leaning towards a certain direction. do a search on a job site for keyword CCNA in your area and see what other skills they are looking for. but most importantly, follow your heart.

thereisnogod – Thank you very much for the advice , really appreciate it…

is the frame relay sim on this site and is it going to be on the icnd2 v2 exam? Passed the icnd1 last week easily but I’m pretty worried about the icnd2 exam.

practice questions on:
http://www.ciscovce.com

Hi there I’d like to know will there be any Frame relay, STP configs/Sims in the ICND2 exam? Thank you.

Hi Billy,

Just passed today. I got a frame relay simlet. No config just viewing the current setup. I didn’t get any STP sims/config. did get VTP sim though.

Thanks 9tut.

I passed my ICND2 today. I had the VTP sim, Frame-realy hotspot (with dubai router), Drag&Drop Q2, Drag&Drop(part2) Q3, STP Q6, OSPF Q1, Q2, and Q3. Thats all I can remember…
I studied the Oldom book, 9tut and Heavymod dump. I have to say that luckily, 90% of the questions were part of the 9tut ICND2/CCNA pages.
Thanks for all the help 9tut and to all the community in here!
On CCNA Sec now !

Can anyone tell me what sims they’ve gotten on the new icnd2 exam?

Passed the ICDN2 exam yesterday, its a wonderful feeling!! Thanks 9tut.. Glory be to the Almighty God!!!

Thanks 9tut! This site is very educational in Cisco Studies. Passed recently with 986/1000. Resources were 9tut/Web Research/PacketTracer/Real Equipment/NHCLC. Mix those in with alot of study hours and there you have it, Success!!! Now on to CCNP! Thanks again and Good Luck to all!

I got 916 points in ICND2 exam, about 50% of the questions are a 9tut.com, thanks for your help!

after two straight 818 scores, decided to use this site for studying. passed next test. this site works!

Just took the ICND2 and passed with a 972. This site along with HeavyMod’s VCE are both valid. I used this 9Tut, HeavyMod VCE, CBT Nuggets, and Cisco Press books to study. Got VTP sim and Frame Relay sim. You must understand the theory behind these questions in order to do well as there are some new questions that are not here.

@ICND2_Passed July 18th, 2013
………..can u tell which new questions u got in your exam

Everyone keeps talking about the frame relay sim where is it ?

@ ICND2 – Second section at the following link.

http://www.9tut.com/ccna-hotspot-questions

Hi,

Has anyone else seen the new sim? also what is it asking for?

Can someone tell me what sims, hot spots and drag and drops they got in their exams please?

Thanks

Has anyone gotten a NAT or ACL Sim on the ICND2? Thanks!

can someone plz share which DND (drag & drop) they got on the ICND2(640-816) exam? is it in any of the samples on the 9tut site? Thank you!

OK… I do not understand this I failed this exam again that makes 3 times (790,790 and 776) I am sure I have been going over this stuff and WTF…. How is Cisco grading these exams.

you may be missing something on one of the sims i failed the icnd1 once and then corrected a sim and passed. this site is a great resource for that.

@Bridge
What kind of questions are you getting and scores are you getting in the various ccna topics. It might just be a case that one section is pulling up down

I have my ICND2 exam tomorrow at 1:30pm! I’ve failed once before about a month ago. I literally just booked it about an hour ago. I kinda feel like I shouldn’t have but I fly out on holiday on Saturday and wanted to try it before I go. I’ve been doing a lot of studying this past week and so didn’t want to not do it and then have to restart studying when I return from holiday. Still thinking I should have waited….

I’m ridiculously nervous!

Thank you 9tut!
Passed today with 974 and 40 minutes remaining.
Got the VTP sims, Fame-Relay “sim”, questions on NAT and Access-lists.

Got my CCEnt six weeks ago, 9tut also helped.
Going for CCDA now.
Cheers

@Jay Good luck Jay, I will try next week…..

Does help command(?) work in ccna exam,pls tell….

@Jay How was it? Hope you got it! Cheers

Hello,
TO anyone who has taken the (640-816) exam recently,
I know that that the VTP and Frame Relay sims were found in most exams. But did anyone get the OSPF sim recently, and also what DND(drag & drop) were found? Please let me know, I am doing final preparations to take the exam. Thanks!

Does help command(?) work in ccna exam,pls tell….

Took 816 today. Got vtp sim, frame relay also got Operations qestion. A lot about an and acl’s. The? Does work in the sims along with short cuts and the tab key. Got drag and drop q2 Stp split horizon lsa and hold down timer. Got q3 in eigrp. That’s all I can remember

Got an ospf testlet. Just skipped it. didnt pass 816 needed 825

@OSPF

can you kindly tell us which OSPF sim it was?

Thank you

@OSPF
was it this sim: https://www.9tut.net/icnd2/icnd2-labsim/ospf-sim ??

just passed icnd2 with 972. 9tut and exam dumps helped!!!!!

I passed! Took the exam at 1:30pm today. Pass mark is 825 – I got 846. Off the top of my head I can remember the VTP sim was there, the frame relay sim was there, and also an EIGRP simlet (that is not found on this site) where the first question asks you how many classful routes you would expect to find in the routing table of R1, by the way ‘classful’ is the important word but you will know what I mean when you see it. Will contribute more fully when I have more time but busy packing for holiday at the moment. Leaving tomorrow. Good luck all

@jay,,,,which EIGRP sim was there?

anyone know about EIGRP SIM????

Where can I find the Frame Relay Sim?

@Frame Relay
http://www.9tut.com/ccna-hotspot-questions
The frame relay question can appear as either a sim/testlet

in the sim you just need sh run & show fr map to answer the question, and in the testlet the output of both commands is provided to you

What EIGRP sim are you guys referring two. Did this require any configuration? Wild card mask and testing with the ping command? How about the Frame Relay Sim ? Any advice and help is deeply appreciated.

passed ICND2 with flying colors. vtp & frame relay sims with different values. you must understand the material.

I have passed with 916 marks yesterday. Got new 5 questions but not hard as thought. Anyway “9tut” helped me alot with some questions since answers are more clarified. Some answers were different on some questions, but if we understand basics we can face those in pretty confident. One of that question was Frame Relay one. And VTP Configuration Sim question was there with same ip scheme as many guys told . But remember it had 192.168.2.32/27 may be you will be received with different subnet. So stick with subnetting. Please Follow all Sims and questions too. Best is do your studies well, Use 9tut and examcollection dump then face exam in confident. I wish you all success !

Just Passed by 944, VTP sim, OSPF simlet & Frmae Relay hostspot are there, Heavymod dump is very valid, Thanks a lot 9 tut

@TM

can u please tell us which OSPF sim u got?
was it the following?: https://www.9tut.net/icnd2/icnd2-labsim/ospf-sim

@unknown

Here is the Question i got https://www.9tut.net/icnd2/ospf-questions , but one additional sub question was there in the exam

Thanks, but can you elaborate more, was it a question regarding ospf loading balancing with bandwidth and cost being the correct answers? Please, if you remember.

Hi,

I am taking the exam next week, can someone please tell me what sims they got in their exam and also the drag & drops they got?

thanks

I am taking my ICND2 this Friday (08/09)…I hope to reply to this with very positive results! 😉 I seem to notice that VTP and Frame-Relay Sims are very popular on the exams…I have yet to see anyone post that they got the ACL/NAT/EIGRP sims. Are these on the ICND2 are do they stay on the full CCNA exam?
Also…any idea on how many questions there will be and perhaps how many labs/sim typically?

@Nervous Test Taker

Can you try and remember what sims and drag & drops you get please?

Thanks

Thanks to 9tut, I passed today Score 944. I used this site Todd Lamle, CBTNugets (Jeremy Ciora) ICND1&2 Videos as well as Packet tracer and GNS3 for some frame relay practise. I got the VTP Labsim as on 9tut but different ip’s, the frame relay where you have to issue the show frame relay map & running config to answer 5 simple questions. The OSPF sim was there too. D&D questions of accesslist, OSPF&EIGRP. STP Question the 1 with access layer. If u understand your material and visiting this site on regular basis, surely you will make it. Thanks to 9tut

what drag n drops are people getting seems like most of the sims are vtp ospf and frame relay

I got the VLSM and ACL D&D a few days ago. I also got the VTP Sim, Frame simlet and OSPF simlet with the same questions that everyone else said. Scored over a 975 on the exam. I think I probably got one wrong. Thanks 9tut and everyone else who contributes!

On to the CCNP!

@Broffredo

Congratulations! I am not clear on something, can you tell me which specific VLSM and ACL D&D you are referring to, also the OSPF simlet, is it the https://www.9tut.net/icnd2/icnd2-labsim/ospf-sim following, in which you had to do the configuration? Thanks

I got D&D on question 1,3 and 4 as referred to this link http://www.9tut.com/ccna-drag-and-drop-questions

Got it! Thanks!

taking it today

@Unknown_Territory – Thanks!

Question 1 & 4 from here – http://www.9tut.com/ccna-drag-and-drop-questions

One thing I noticed was in the VLSM one, you have to start with the smaller subnets and then work up to the larger ones. I was always taught to start with the larger first. Not sure if it’s like that for every exam, but beware.

The OSPF one was no configuration. Just questions. They were from Exam E on the popular HeavyMod dump.

i failed 720 i got the ospf hot spot, frame relay, vtp sim , VLSM << which i think got me a bunch of identify IPv6 addresses questions…
