CCNA 2 Chapter 1 V.4 Refer to the exhibit. The server broadcasts an ARP request for the MAC address of its default gateway. If STP is not enabled, what is the result of this ARP request?

 The CCNA certification requires you to take one of two paths: split the objectives into two exams for easier study or take a single composite test. Everyone who takes a shot at the CCNA has their own preferred method of achieving it, but neither path is better than the other. If you decide to take the split route, the two exams will include the 100-101 – Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) and the 200-101 – Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2). If decide you only want to take one test, the exam will include the 200-120 – Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (Composite). These exams became available in spring 2013, and the older CCNA exams (640-822, 640-816 and 640-802) will be retired on September 30, 2013

Preparing for the CCNA exams

When studying for these exams, it’s best to prepare the way that works for you. For those who have some experience with networking, self-study is a popular option, and you can do so using any number of available resources, including the courses available through Pluralsight. In my experience, self-study works well when coupled with considerable practice on Cisco’s IOS. For most people at the CCNA level, using a product like GNS3 combined with computer-based training is an excellent approach. For the CCNA R&S exams, make sure you understand the fundamentals, IP subnetting, addressing and basic routing, before looking at other topics. Regardless of the changes to these exams, the fundamentals will always be covered.

For most of the tests that Cisco offers, cramming isn’t a useful option and should be avoided. Go through all of the topics in IOS and learn them, configure them and figure out how and why they work. Cisco IOS is generally a well-documented OS. Cisco also has a very active certification support community that can provide specific advice as issues arise.

Preparing for any test can be stressful, and Cisco’s CCNAs are no exception. No matter how much studying you’ve done, it won’t be of much use if you’re tired or distracted. The best thing you can do to prepare is to get plenty of sleep, and go into your exams as relaxed and confident as possible.
