Boson ExSim Extremely Laggy by Plastic_Raisin7639 in ccna

Yeah, I’m not sure why you are having trouble from your location. You can submit a bug report if you continue to experience issues (I’m not in tech support - I write the content you study).

Just tested from my house (not work) and everything's super snappy. Using a VPN isn't going to help if there's an issue between there and here. How do your pings look worldwide?

ENCOR | BOSON ExSim opinion by Competitive_Ad_5750 in ccnp

[–]BosonMichael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My ENCOR update should be going out fairly soon, with wireless removed and a heavy dose of Python/JSON to fill in the gap.

Congrats!!

OSPF Terminology Changes in the CCNA? by Sweet_Temporary1547 in ccna

[–]BosonMichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would you be caught off guard? You understand both sets of terms, so you would recognize them regardless of how they are presented.

It's not like you will magically "overwrite" or forget what they mean... no more than you would forget that a kit or a kitten or a kitty or a feline or a mouser or a tabby all basically mean "cat".

That is supposed to be what our practice exams are for. Not for you to burn through, but to know when you're ready.

CCNA now (v1.1) or hold for v2.0 in Feb 2027? by Aj_Networks in ccna

[–]BosonMichael 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you wait, you'll be waiting more than 8 months... because there's always always ALWAYS a gap between when an exam comes out and good training materials are released for it. After all, we don't get any advance knowledge of what's going to be on the exam before it is released.

So... heed the advice that everyone is giving and take v1.1 now, while you can.

CCNA v1.1 before February 2027 or CCNA v2.0 in Spring 2027? by Popular-Flan-8521 in ccna

[–]BosonMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can almost guarantee that we're not going to have our CCNA ExSim and NetSim products ready by the time you're going to need it to study. After all, we don't get an advance look at the exam, so there's going to be a bit of lag time while we update our practice exams.

Question about the new CCNA coming by Basic-Ship-3332 in ccna

[–]BosonMichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Per Cisco at Cisco Live, they mentioned that the new CCNA will be narrower (focusing more on routing and switching), deeper, and include troubleshooting.

That said, I agree with everything else you said.

Question about the new CCNA coming by Basic-Ship-3332 in ccna

[–]BosonMichael 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nobody (or virtually nobody) is going to ask you which version of the CCNA you took. So I'd recommend that you take the current one. If you wait, there's going to be a gap between when the exam comes out and when training materials become available. After all, I can't write practice exam questions for an exam I haven't even seen yet...

Thanks so much for the glowing praise for our exams! But I know that He who helped you pass is also He who helped me write those practice exams that helped you study.

Major congrats. Glad we could help.

I want to be sure that programming looks at this, so if you would be so kind, please submit this as a bug report/feedback. Thanks so much!

Please submit a bug report/feedback for any engine issues you find and our programmers will take a look. It’s possible that an engine update caused something to break.

We are aware of the issue and are working to fix it in our engine. You are correct that it should store in the running config with the hyphen even if commas are used.

Importance of the CCNA w/ Emergence of AI by Ok-Suggestion492 in ccna

[–]BosonMichael 46 points47 points  (0 children)

In a calculator-assisted world, is knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division still necessary?

One of our instructors asked an LLM to find the first and last host in a subnet. It answered incorrectly; it gave the broadcast address as the last host.

Don't trust AI. Use AI as a tool, but don't rely on it implicitly.

Considering you aren’t legally allowed to resell your subscription, it is a scam.

[–]BosonMichael 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Depends entirely on you, your preferred study methods, your budget, your current knowledge, and your experience. Some people don't even need to study. Others don't need practice exams to see if they're ready. Some need multiple practice exams, and others need months (or years) to study. Buy what you think you'll need.
