So… your new guide DOES cover 640-802? And is there a pre-release site with preview chapters or pre-orders available?

Sybex doesn’t have the book listed, and BN.com (for some reason) has pre-orders for 640-801 books by you coming out after the new test launches. Can you give us a hint where we can find the new book?

thank you sir,
plese any information about ccna exam plese provide.

Do u suggest i answer the latest exam (640 - 802 ) or the old one(640 - 801)and how difficult is it to upgrade from the old syllabus to the new one ?

Hi Todd,

I’m studying to write the 640-801 in October/07 (hopefully I can still make an appointment for October!), and in Chapt 3 of your 5th Edition, where you discuss Subnetting and what the valid subnets are for a given Subnet mask; You mention the formula to determine this is 256 - mask to come up with the block size / subnet. Why not just use the value of the last “on” bit to determine the block size? Its much easier than having to do the math, don’t you agree?

Hello Todd,

Hello I am satheesh from India. Just now i am going to complete CCNA exam. I heard that CCNA syllabus is going to change by november. Please tell me what are the changes will be there in new syllabus? Is it good take up the exam after november as i am going to complete the course within a week? When will i get new book in market?

Hi Todd,

In your CCNA Study Guide, 5th Edition, page 132, Figure 3.2 - it states “The mask of 255.255.255.240 (/28) provides 14 subnets, each with 14 hosts. All the hosts and router interfaces use the same subnet mask.”.

Shouldn’t that be 16 Subnets, each with 14 hosts?

Regards,

- John

Hi Todd,
Have been reading through Sybex 5th Edition and am aware of you 6th Edition release. However this is not available in any of the bookstall here in India.. Was wondering if you have any clue about the distributors here …

One thing that keeps occuring in my mind is which is the best approach - taking two exams or one??

Thank you.

oh! no! im taking ccna 3 and 4 this fall in college. I took the 640-821 and studying for 640-811 now. Is the last test null and void and need to take new full test 640-802 or can I take the 640-816 exam with my 640-821 under my belt? Too many numbers! The cisco web site indicates that i will need to take 802 or 822 and 816. Im really upset with teach for not mentioning this before i took that test! Need to buy Todd Lammle’s book to study, but for which test.

Hi Todd,

I am preparing for the 640-802 EXAM, what must must be done , to ensure that i pass it one time. what is the catch in this new exam?

Hi Todd

My name is Peter from Kenya, an IT instructor I have been training A+, N+ and MCSE. I want to start training Cisco courses, I am already CCNA and working on CCNP certification. Your 5th edition manual was of great assistance. I wanted to know if you have trainer kit for 640-802 or any other material I can use.

hello sir,
i had just purchase ur ccna 5 edition book at 3 day ago but but after that i knew a latest news that a ccna syllabus is changed and u old copy this new syllabus is not included so pls. suggest what i do? and i also planning a give exams at nov. end so at that time that new syllabus is included reply

is there is any different in ccna 640-801 and ccna 640-802 exam

Hi Todd, I completed studying your 5th Edition (I really enjoyed reading it) and unfotunately unable to sit for test owing personal reasons. I am planning to go for 640-802. Does your new study guide is sufficient enough to learn for the new exam/practice commands etc. Please reply. What about the simulators?

Hi Todd,

I just received CCNP & CCDP and I have been successful each time in obtaining the certification from your books reading. I feel these reading from Todd sybex are excellent in the way you present in the easy way to understanding and I could obtain the value knowledge from your book.

Now I am going to train new CCNA (640-802) course to my collogue and new employees at my workplace and I think your material definitely can help me to distribute the knowledge through those people. So I would like to request your slide chapter (power points) file of new CCNA (640-802) course for my guideline, is it possible for me to be recived this helpful from you.

I would be appreciating if you give me. Thanks very much.

Course completed CCNA on old syllabus,where can i get new syyllabus?

Hi, when is your new book coming out? You said the 640-802 exam is much more difficult, apart from the course content, is the new exam setup different from the old one?

Hi,
Please Todd update us concerning the new cisco exams that will be coming up soon, how long does one has to wait before taking the exam now. please inform me soonest.

I hit a wall with this. I have proir net experience, and have been studying since the beginning of September. I’ve FAILED 801 twice (with the same score) and am just trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. One thing I saw that I was given Tshooting questions on router with a stick scenarios that neither bootcamp or TestOut talked about (in a troubleshhoting mode, the explained the config and the reasosns for it)

There is still some time for 801, but I am not sure what the best avenue would be. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello Sir,
I’ve failed today by only some points the 640-801 exam. After studying hard your book (sybex 640-801) - I’ve seen that several question in the exam were out of the book context (…) On the other hand, cisco is placing me on hold all the way to 11/8/07 , when is too late for 640-801, thus I need to take 640-802. Do you have any new kit (to be purchased) regarding the new 640-802. If yes, is that new book promise (somehow) to cover the 640-802 exam (hoping the today’s experience won’t repeat.
Thank you,
Victor

One more question please:
Which ccna virtual lab book I would need for 640-802 preparation/ I have the one included in the ccna certification kit - fifth edition (bought about 7 months ago - 2005 edition). Can I still use this one?
Thank you,
Victor

Thank you for the answers/
1. because the 801 exam (on 11/1/07) has questions not covered in the ccna study guide (5th edition) - like line commands for NAT - can I be better assured that the 6th edition will cover the 802 exam?
2. (may be a delicate question): cisco press has also 2 volumes preparing for 802 exam (about 700 pages each): do I miss exam-related topics (or better CLI experience) if I go for your 6th edition kit, instead of buying from cisco press?
Respectfully,
Victor

I am delivering a CCNA class for New Horizons. They have selected your book as the text and has purchased about 25-30 copies of the 4th edition for this class alone. Are there any instructor slides available based on the book?

Hey Todd, what subject shoud i be familiar with in order to be ready for the CCENT exam? Please advice. Thanks

Hi Todd, i have finished training for the old ccna 640-801 and now realise that i have to do the 640-802 exam within a week. i have already got your book and reading it. What advise can you give me?

Hi Todd,

Previous CCNA 640-801 exam covered Cisco 1900 and Cisco 2950 switch commands and configuration. Is the new CCNA 640-802 or ICND 1 and 2 exam covers both routers or just one. Which one? Please advise. Thank you.

Recently I spot Todd Lammle’s CliffsTestPrep CCNA book. It is pretty good in general. But looks like have a lot of typo. Do you know where can I find typo update? Please let me know. Thanks.
I found there was wrong statements in the test. such as test 8 prob 27, pro 31 “ip route 10.0.0.0 0.0.15.255 192.168.1.9″
I think it should be “ip route 10.0.0.0 255.20.0.0 192.168.1.9″

Hello Todd
i bought your book (CCNA 640-802 6th edition), i heared that there are new topics included after 6th nov 2007.
can you tell me please that this book will enough for the new CCNA 640-802 Paper ?

kindly reply me as soon as possible as i am going on to give paper i shall be very thankful

Hi
can someone tell me what I need to know about the cisco network assistant.

will the labs actually expect you to use that to configure the switches.
or will there just be general questions about it.

I have never used it and im much more comfortable using the CLI
Exam in 4 days.

Hi Todd,

Firstly, excellent book - it’s been a good read and very informative but easy to digest.

I was wondering if you have any last minute advice:

I’m new to IT and have been studying for the Cisco CCNA composite since the 640-802 came out, I’ve read the books about three times, done the labs (over and over again) on 2 routers I have at home (2×2500). I’ve not saved the config each time, so when I finish for the day all the config I’ve done gets wiped, so I do it all again the next day (hoping this will make it all second nature!!). I’ve watched your videos, read through the official CCNA guide and run through the practise exams on the CD with your book (which I’m passing at around 95%). I’ve also done extra work on subnetting as well.

Is there anything else I should try before the exam or is it best to just keep doing what I’m doing?

Hope to hear from you soon

Many thanks

Hello sir,

I’m glad that I’m here and want to read about your book regarding your new release of 640-802, I hope this might help additionally in preparation for my CCNA exam. Cheers,

rougemac

I’m Adedara Joshua. I hold my B.Sc (hons) in Mathematics. I will like to take CCNA exams . I need Information about the the CCNA exams. What are the basic materials that are needed for the exams?

Hi Todd,

I’m fairly new to the Cisco certs. I’m used to dealing with the Microsoft certifications. I’m tired of having to learn a new version of their OS everytime they decide to switch it. Anyway, to make a whole story short, I purchased your CCNA 640 - 802 exam book but I don’t have the equipment to study off of. Could you please tell me what I’m suppose to be looking for when purchasing a Cisco router and/or switch in order for me to get the hands on needed? I know you mentioned the 800/1800/2800 series but when I go to the site to look at the different types of routers and switches, they all have different features, such as VPN, Firewall, etc. I don’t know which one to choose in order to study for the exam. Also, will purchsing one router suffice for studying or what is the recommended amount of equipment one will need in order to study for the CCNA? Please help.

Thanks,

Oscar

Hi Todd
I’m preparing to take CCNA 640-802. I have got two of your books fast pass 3th edition which is 500 pages and 6th edition study guide 1000 page . I don’t know which one to read. I was student at the Cisco academy two years back. I just want to revise the old stuff and read the new things. Please help.
