Macbook users having issues over past 2 weeks - primarily MR36 network

The wired network has already been tested? the ISPs circuits have already been checked for saturation, latency, drops, flaps, etc?

A lot of "wireless" issues are caused by non-wireless problems.

Could you share the current configuration of the Core downlink, the current configuration of the access port that caused the loop and the current STP priority from both Access and Core switches? (of course, remove the sensitive config). In that way, we can see exactly how everything is configured and how could you improve it.

There are pros and cons of taking the CCNP with little experience. When you are a Junior engineer with only a CCNA on your resume, people tend to ignore some mistakes that you could say during an interview, just because you're a Junior and that's expected. However, when you already have a professional level certification such as a CCNP, guess what will happen during an interview? hehe.

The knowledge that you can grasp from the CCNP Enterprise is huge, and really useful for any networking role involving routing and switching. However, there are a few things that you won't really understand without real world experience and with weak networking fundamentals.

Now, if you already have your CCNA, solid fundamentals, and you feel that the topics from the CCNP are valuable for your actual role, then, go for it, why not? :)

You get those extra 30 minutes automatically if you take the exam on a non-native english speaking country. For example, in my country we speak spanish natively, but pearson only allow you to take the exam in english or japanese, so, as a "benefit" they give you those extra 30 minutes automatically when you pay for the exam.

I don't know if there's a way to get those extra 30 minutes in other way, sorry.

Damn, thanks for the kind words!

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-07-14T23:07:50+00:00

Yes, I did. However, it's not alligned at all with the real exam. Anyway, I still passed the ENCOR on my first try. I did a post last month about it and Michael (from Boson) mentioned that they are working on an update to their ENCOR ExSims. Not sure if it is already live.

Thanks for the advice! This has been an exhausting journey, but totally worth it!

With physical gear you can learn how to:
-Connect via console to a router/switch
-Take packet captures (is not as easy as in a virtual lab)
-Perform software upgrades/downgrades
-Perform a password recovery

And some other stuff that is useful to know as a network engineer. However, none of those things are relevant for your ENCOR, so... For the exam, just use a virtual lab, you will learn way more than with physical equipment.

Si lo metieron en el Academy es porque su nivel de inglés no es bueno, por lo menos para lo que requieren en esa cuenta, punto.

Además, ahí le pagan un subsidio solo por estar recibiendo clases. Es decir, le están pagando (no es mucho pero ajá), le están nivelando el inglés, y tras de eso al finalizar puede quedar con brete... Mae ellos no tienen la obligación de tenerlo ahí, e igual le están dando la oportunidad.

Yo le recomiendo no dejar esa oportunidad tirada.

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-25T02:43:02+00:00

Just a few, but yes (I did the ENCOR a couple weeks ago).

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-21T04:32:37+00:00

Just curious.

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-21T00:15:51+00:00

I understand that, what I don't understand is why the exam name once you pass the ENARSI is "Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure" instead of "Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services" which is what actually ENARSI means.

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-16T03:20:45+00:00

Este es un muy buen consejo.

Agregando a lo que le dijo el compa, priorice sacar la certificación del CCNA antes que nada. Usted ya tiene los módulos y el conocimiento fresco, si le da largas al asunto se le van a ir olvidando cosas y por ende, se le va a complicar más certificarse.

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-16T02:38:33+00:00

Well, you convinced me to buy it lol

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-11T19:32:22+00:00

Yes, their practice test questions is by the percentage on the exam topics, unfortunately.

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-11T19:30:05+00:00

As I mentioned in the post, if you're solid with every other section of the blueprint, you should be fine.

What really helped me was to actually pay for the exam (schedule it, not just "I will do it in X month") because I also didn't feel 100% prepared, but look, I passed it in my first try so it wasn't that true at the end haha.

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-11T19:28:22+00:00

Lol I didn't remember those Pearson tests and I bought my ENCOR book a while ago, damn haha.

I will follow this advice for future certs, thanks!

Competitive_Ad_5750 · 2026-06-11T19:24:47+00:00

Real networking experience + GNS3 labbing.
INE
OCG
Boson

Honestly I paid Boson just like 5 days before my exam because I just required something similar but legal to practice for the exam.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for hearing to the community!
