Networking and More

Well, I started by modifying my schedule , went all crazy on ACI sessions. Airport It was 107 degrees F when we got here. So very hot. Took a shuttle to the hotel then went to the Mandalay Bay and registered! Got check in PAssed by the Cisco Store and was pleasantly surprised to find the CCDA 200-310 Official Cert Guide, in hardcover. So picked it up! 200-310 DESGN Official Cert Guide I'll read through the book tonight to prepare for the many design sessions that I have. Looking forward to network.

Intro: I passed my Network+ (N10-005) on August 26 th 2015 after intensively preparing for 1 month. Ideally I wanted to give myself more time since I was taking 12 credits that summer in college and working full time but I had just learned that the exam that I had been familiar with through my Networking class at the Community College was retiring at the end of November, so my only choice was: to either take the N10-005 or dedicate a few more months to familiarize myself with the topics in the N10-006 – time that I didn’t have. So I decided to go for it. Scheduling the exam: Naturally I wanted to schedule the exam when I felt ready, but then I figured I would never “feel” ready. I realized that I had to push myself to do it, otherwise it wasn’t going to happen. So I decided to schedule it for the end of August, giving myself just one month to prepare. I did a quick online search since I wanted to purchase a discount voucher, got one from GetCertifiedForLess  ...
