My own experience with CCNA

Just want to share my own experience i got from CCNA exams. Here is the following resources that i used to get the certificate.

Sybex book  – CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide 6th by Todd Lammle : It is the best selling book. It is around 1000 pages. Even it is abit thick but you will not find it boring to read.The writer really provides simple, clear explaination.You can get alot of concepts from this book.

Sybex book – CCNA Fast Pass 3rd Edition by Todd Lammle: It is another book by Todd. It is around 500 pages.It is a quick summary from the 1rst book. After you finish the first book, you ‘d better read through this book to review the main points.

Video Training- CBT Nuggets Cisco CCNA exams Pack 640-802 by Jeremy Cioara: It is quite helpful to go though this video training to clear out all your cloud. It is designed with clear explaination, and Lab configuration illustration.

Packet Tracer 5.1  software: It is created by Cisco. If you dont have real switches and routers  to practise, you can use it as your virtual lab configuration practise.It is greatly helpful though.

Tips:

-  Read through the book and try to get the main points as much as you can. Take note for the main points while you are reading!!   Practise questions and every lab that the book provides. Dont skip it !!

-  Practice Subnetting /route summarization / VSLM until you can do it well. (Subnet in head)

- Practice labs until you are clear with configuration commands for the main configuration things such as routing protocols, VLANs,  ACLs, NAT and Frame Relay  and so on…

- Dont ignore the output of configuration. Try to read through it and understand it well coz some of questions will be troubleshooting types.

- Review concepts again and again until you get most of the things in your head. Do  Practice Tests (Mock Test)  as much as possible so that you will be familiar with the exams types and you will learn how to control your exams timing well.

- The best tool is GOOGLE to clear out all the clouds 

Last thing is Practice , Practice and Practice!

Cisco Networking certifications

After getting CCNA 640-802  (Routing and Switching) , i feel so reluctant which one to continue more..Whether go for CCNA Security or CCNA Voice or CCNA Wireless. After considering for a while, i think i should deepen my knowledge on Routing and Switching. Yes, i must go for CCNP (R/S)to get professional level on routing and switching..

What will the CCNP exams look like?

I need to pass 4 exams to be CCNP qualified:

642-901 BSCI	Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)
642-812 BCMSN	Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
642-825 ISCW	Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW)
642-845 ONT	Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT)

The 642-892 Composite can combine between BSCI and BCMSN and it costs 3,6000 Yen

Here is the exams fees :

BSCI= 1,8000 yen

BCMSN=1,8000 yen

ISCW=1,8000 yen

ONT= 1,8000 Yen

* CCNA exams fee costs 3,0000 yen here.

How about CCIE exams?

It is an expert level or they name it as doctorate level of cisco ceritfied networking. I still wonder if i am able to get it or not. The exams itself is quite expensive and very hard as i heard.

To be CCIE qualified , we have to pass two tests

- CCIE 350-001 written test. It costs 3,0000 Yen

- CCIE Lab test will takes 8 hours for real lab test . It costs 14,0000 yen or so.

This lab test doesnt have in Cambodia yet but in Japan they have. Should i try to get all these opportunity?

How to choose the best baby toys

With so many toys on the market, how can you possibly know which ones are best for your baby?

It’s an important question. Because for little ones, playing is about more than entertainment, it’s their primary means of learning and developing.

In just a few, quicksilver years, your helpless infant will become a competent youngster-walking, talking, socializing, reasoning. In fact, within the first four years of life, children develop a full 50% of their adult intelligence! That’s how fast their brains are growing.

Giving your baby stimulating, age-appropriate toys will help your child develop faster and more fully-cognitively, physically, creatively and more. Understanding how babies learn is the key to knowing what toys to provide.

Born to Learn

Babies are born virtually programmed to learn. Before birth, genetics determine how the brain is “wired.” Neurons travel to different parts of the brain, forming connections, called synapses, that await stimulation.

Once a baby is born, every experience-sight, sound, touch, taste and smell-helps stimulate those synapses and create trillions more. The more complex these interconnections, the brighter a child will be. By providing your child with early stimulation and a wide range of experiences, you can accelerate your baby’s development.

Birth – 6 Months: Stimulating Sensory and Motor Development

Even the tiniest newborn is poised to soak up sensory data like a sponge-and in doing so, stimulate brain development.

A newborn’s vision is limited, which is why tiny infants respond best to black-and-white objects, bright colors and bold graphics. But vision develops quickly, along with motor control. As early as the second month, babies will begin studying their hands and swiping at objects. Most begin rolling over between two and six months.

For babies under six months, the best toys are:

• - Colorful mobiles and banners that stimulate vision
• - Rattles, teethers and other sensory toys that expose baby to a variety of sounds and textures
• - Baby safe mirrors (babies are drawn to faces)
• - Activity centers and baby gyms that encourage reaching and grasping
• - “Tummy time” toys that help build abdominal strength (a must for back-sleeping babies)
• - Age-appropriate educational videos and music that stimulate vision and hearing

6 – 12 Months: Interactive Play

During this period, babies discover cause and effect-shaking, banging and pushing every object within reach. Hand-eye coordination improves; favorite games are “clap hands,” “pat-a-cake” and “peek-a-boo.” Most babies begin crawling around seven months and by ten months, many are starting to “cruise.” In addition, they begin to put sounds together to form simple words.

For babies between 6 – 12 months, the best toys are:

• - Activity centers and push/pull toys that allow baby to create movement
• - Musical and sound-making toys
• - Shape sorters and nesting cups, which reinforce the concept of object permanence
• - Adventure courses that encourage creeping and crawling
• - First photo albums
• - Gentle rockers and bouncers, which satisfy baby’s love of motion
• - Stuffed animals, dolls and “blankies” for cuddling
• - Age-appropriate educational videos and music
• - Storybooks that you read to baby.

12 – 18 Months: Goal-Oriented Play

Many children begin walking around their first birthday, and with this exciting new skill comes a strong desire to explore. Most toddlers are goal-oriented and driven to experiment. They begin imitating grown-ups physically and verbally. Through constant activity, they begin strengthening large muscles and improving fine motor coordination.

For tots 12 – 18 months, the best toys are:

• - Building blocks, play sets and bead mazes that encourage experimentation and help develop fine motor skills
• - Active toys, such as toddler swing sets, safety trikes and wagons that allow tots to delight in motion, while building strong muscles
• - Very simple musical instruments
• - “Hands on” toys like a jack-in-the-box, pail and shovel, and water toys
• - Stuffed animals, dolls and “blankies” for cuddling
• - Age-appropriate educational videos and music
• - Storybooks that you read to baby.

18 – 24 Months: Problem-Solving Play

At this age, tots begin using their imagination. Children engage in imitative and make-believe play and problem solving strategies. They can match objects by shape and color, follow simple instructions, and dance to music. Language also explodes around 18 months, and toddlers acquire new words at a mind-boggling rate.

For tots 18-24 months, the best toys are:

• - Rocking horses, playhouses, miniature appliances and other toys that foster imitative play
• - Puppets and dolls
• Costumes
• - Puzzles, blocks and construction sets that create opportunities for problem solving
• - Active toys, such as toddler swing sets, safety trikes and vehicles that encourage muscle growth and control
• - Simple musical instruments
• - Stuffed animals, dolls and “blankies” for cuddling
• - Age-appropriate educational videos and music
• - Storybooks that you read together.

24 – 36 Months: The Age of Mastery

Fine motor coordination is on the upswing! Now kids are ready for arts and crafts projects, simple sports and beginning board games. Children this age are very responsive to music, videos and books. By the time they reach their third birthdays, most kids are fluent talkers. With this growing competency, many are ready for more “big kid” toys.

For children 24-36 months, the best toys are:

• - Art and craft supplies, such as finger paints, chalk boards, easels and modeling clay
• - Simple board games for beginners
• - Train sets and cars; dolls with accessories
• - Rocking horses, playhouses, miniature appliances and other toys that foster imitative play
• - Costumes
• - Puzzles and construction sets that create opportunities for problem solving
• - Swing sets, sand boxes, trikes and other riding vehicles
• - Electronic educational games and workbooks that introduce kids to phonics, the alphabet and numbers
• - Simple musical instruments
• - Stuffed animals, dolls and “blankies” for cuddling
• - Age-appropriate educational videos and music
• - Storybooks that you read together.
