CCNA Practice Questions

Hi Joanne,
Was looking for some practice labs for the simulation portion of CCNA and found this site http://www.9tut.com/
Many of the labs can also be downloaded and run in packet tracer to practice them.

Dan

From Our President - How Big Are We?

How big are we?
Since I’ve come here, I’ve heard a lot of different statements about the size of this place. I’ve been told COD is the third largest single-campus community college. I’ve heard fifth largest. I’ve heard multiple other variations. Let me give you the easiest, most accurate way to describe our size: We are the largest single-campus community college outside the state of California.
In terms of exact numbers of students, at COD headcount is always an unduplicated enrollment count that measures how many students we enrolled for a specific period of time. For fiscal year 2010, our 10th day total headcount for all three terms (Summer ’09, Fall ’09, and Spring ’10) was 62,555 different students, of which 47,915 were credit and 14,640 were non-credit students.
Full Time Equivalent Students (FTES) is a measure defined by the Illinois Community College Board as is the number of credit hours generated by an institution divided by 15 (a full-time load). Therefore, we can use this metric to compare relative size of institutions of higher education within Illinois. For fiscal year 2010, the total 10th day FTE count for COD was 37,620 with the following distribution: 5,595 summer, 16,036 fall and 15,989 spring.

Update for COD Veterans

In recent years, the College has taken steps to better serve our veterans. The latest development is the opening of an office at the College of DuPage by the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. The office, located in the Student Resource Center, Room 2046, is open on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to assist our veterans.

New CCNP v6.0 Coming to COD this Fall!

COD will be offering the new CCNP v6.0 curriculum in the Fall. These new courses align with the new Cisco certification exams: 642-902 ROUTE, 642-813 SWITCH, and 642-832 TSHOOT. COD will be offering all three, beginning in the fall and spring.

Here is the lineup:
Fall 2010 (1st 8 weeks): CIT2241 CCNP ROUTE: Implementing IP Routing. This course replaces CCNP v5.0 Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks.

Fall 2010 (2nd 8 weeks): CIT2243 CCNP SWITCH: Implementing IP Switched Networks. This course replaces CCNP v5.0 Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks .

Spring 2011 (1st 8 weeks): CCNP TSHOOT: Troubleshooting and Maintaining IP Networks. This course is new.

Note: Two of the current CCNP 5.0 courses, Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks and Optimizing Converged Networks do not have a direct replacement. The content of these courses has either been moved into the CCNA Concentrations (Security, Voice and Wireless), incorporated into the new ROUTE and SWITCH courses, or dropped from the CCNP curriculum. COD offers the CCNA Concentrations in CIT2251 (CCNA-Security), CIT2411 (CCNA-Voice) and CT1151 (CCNA-Wireless).

It is important to note that that COD will migrate to CCNP v6.0 this Fall 2010. The last CCNP 5.0 course to be offered is the CCNP CIT2243 Switching class this summer May 24th 2010 through July 19 the 2010 from 6:30 p.m. until 10:20 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday evening.

The current certification exams 642-901 Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI), 642-812 Building Converged Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN), 642-825 Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW), and 642-845 Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT), will be available through July 31, 2010 and to Networking Academy students using a special promotional code through July 31, 2011. After July 31, 2011, all Networking Academy candidates for CCNP will need to pass the Troubleshoot (TSHOOT) certification exam. The Promotional Codes will be available on the Academy Connection Site on or around July 31, 2010 and they will be good until July 31, 2011. These codes will be released on the Academy Connection Site under the Resources>Certifications and Vouchers Menu.

Networking Academy exam candidates can mix and match CCNP exam requirements to achieve CCNP certification as follows:

BSCI + BCMSN + ISCW + ONT Last day is July 31, 2011

COMP + ISCW + ONT Last day is July 31, 2011

BSCI + SWITCH + ISCW + ONT Last day is July 31, 2011

ROUTE + BCMSN + ISCW + ONT Last day is July 31, 2011

ROUTE + SWITCH + ISCW + ONT Last day is July 31, 2011

After 7/31/2011 you can achieve CCNP Certification only by passing ROUTE + SWITCH + TSHOOT

If you have any questions or concerns about the changes to the CCNP curriculum, please call me. Again, the last chance to get the current version, v5.0, of the Switching class through COD is this summer, as indicated above. Bill Wolfe, Senior Enterprise Architect of Cisco Systems, Inc. and Adjunct Faculty at COD, will be teaching the course and will be incorporating the new switching material from CCNPv6 for those of you who want to get a jump start and be prepared for either v5 or v6.

Also, I want to make you aware that the college is in the process of replacing its student email system. The college is replacing the student portal this summer and students will no longer have a @dupage.edu account. Therefore, if you are still receiving email from me through your @dupage.edu account, but would like me to keep you on my alumni/student list, please let me know so that I can update my alumni/student listing with a different email account for you. If you would like me to remove you from my alumni/student listing, let me know that as well.

Please stay in touch. I really enjoy hearing from you!
