need a reply

DanIndia:
There are thousands of free tutorials on YouTube but those ones wouldn't teach as those who do it for a living. You cant tell me those Instructors are as better as Cisco Certified and Recommended Instructors. And yes, those tutors did it because they are willing to help others. The other videos (INE and CBT) are copyrighted, you are not allowed to share them and even if you do, it's illegal.

I understand you're not financially buoyant but you're investing in your future and career. So do what you feel is right for you. You never know who is sniffing around. If someone gets a hold of your name and ID and report it, you would get a total life-ban and that's Cisco for you. It's serious.
The INE videos you're probably talking about must have been recorded by Brian and I know him, well not on a personal level but I know how hard it is to record long minutes of videos. How do you think this same individual would feel if he finds out the countless numbers of hours he spent recording those clips didn't really pay off because it was being distributed freely on a forum?

And to be honest, most people who study for CCNA wouldn't want to spend hundreds and thousands dollars for it, most especially someone from Nigeria when everything dey computer village. If you've got a good internet access, YouTube is even more than enough. There are hundreds of it, you go watch you go tire lol.

All the best on your cert exams.

thanks man. . .you sealed it all.

am interested too danindia

they only train with a live router n switch towards d end of the course but packet tracer is good tool for you to master the commands

What's the latest version of packet tracer available for download and where can I download it?

secondly, I'll appreciate it if someone in the house can explain to me in layman's term what Summarization is? I'm not really getting the concept as explained in chapter 5: VLSMs, of ccna official study guide by Todd Lammle. Thanks

The latest version is 6.2 and u can search on Google and download through the numerous links,I tink the file size is 175mb.
Summarization is just like giving a summary of all the IP address in a particular network

Thanks but the problem I'm having with it is that I always get it wrong whenever I want to ascertain the best IP address to use for summarizing a set of IP addresses.

That's right. You'll always get it wrong at first... but when you practice and lab a lot more than you currently do, you'll be able to do it at the top of your head. So the tip is PRACTICE, LAB, REPEAT.
Remember, practice makes perfect.

All the best in your networking journey.

Thanks for the advice.

Please also feel free to ask questions on ccna, ccnp, wireless, ccie. I can also send you materials. One love.

Good evening.. Please do you have materials on ccna security.

you have to consider the number of host u have in each network and then assign a subnet DAT will not waste so much IP address and u consider d block size of DAT subnet and where it ends will b d beginning of another network.the main reason behind summarization is to conserve IP address. I hope this helps a little

It really helped. You explained the concept so well that I had no other option than to understand. Thanks so much.

Hi, I'm Sunday. CCNP certified, CCIE in view

Nice explanation, however, the aim of summarization is not to conserve IP addresses but to optimize routing table entries.

It's quite easy. The key to summarization is knowing the node of interest of the networks in question and then looking for the right block size that encompasses all of them and translating that block size into the correct mask. The key is your block size. I really love this thread.

I'm really enthusiastic about the network engineering career path but then I have some questions. What are the prospects of a Cisco career path in the current Nigerian labour market? The reports I'm getting have been conflicting. Recently met a guy who has CCNP and still can't find a job + a guy with CCNA who is jobless too. Some people also vouch that at least with a CCNA you'd definitely get a job in the IT industry. How true is this? Please this question goes to @sundayslim and the house generally.

Thanks to you and to everyone that took his time to answer my question. May God bless you real good.

Getting a good job with your certifications depends on you as a person. When I got my CCNP, I didn't get a job immediately. I had to learn how to properly package myself in my CV. That was when I got the job. Some people still don't know how to write good CVs. However, you don't just go online and apply for jobs like everyone else. I got my job by walking into the company and speaking with the HR personnel. They admired my courage because I told them that the company needs a young and skilled professional like me who has ideas to offer. I got called later, passed the interview and today I'm working with good pay. 100k to start, 120k after 6 months. Other benefits are available. It's just about being creative in your packaging and being confident, and that differs from person to person.

Thanks for the reply man. A friend of mine told me something quite close to this. He said with a networking cert its better to walk into companies (ISPs especially) and apply rather than wait for the online adverts because 70% of networking jobs aren't advertised. I'm currently preparing to take the CCNA soon but I already have 8 months experience as an intern at an IT firm. I've read many materials and spent many hours labbing on PT so I feel good about my chances but then I can't seem to shake off this voice in my head that says I should enrol for CCNA at a training centre regardless, maybe just to see if I can learn something I don't already know. What would you advise? Should I just focus on dumps and my self study or join the class instead considering that would be another financial sacrifice? Thanks.

NEVER EVER focus on DUMPS. Focus on the studies. Dumping an exam isn't the same as passing it.
Study it first, understand it and everything else comes next but don't let dump be a focus. By the way, I like your spirit though. You've spent many hours labbing, Awesome. Have you broken anything on PT yet ? I'd advise you to try and do labbing on GNS3 too. You'll get the feel of a live gear.

Mr. DanIndia, seems your schedule is tight? Cos I'm yet to receive a valid I'd to join the lecture and. Partake from your vast knowledge.

DanIndia:
Got it. Noone has showed up from the thread though. I'll post a few screenshots from yesterday's session.

Ha-ha... It's been quite challenging, but very interesting too. Haven't messed up anything yet, but I've been opportuned to fix a few problems. From my experience so far, I've learnt that a well built network will save you a lot of stress.
