Hi, the "View as PDF" version does not display correctly. Your "Clearspace" script seems to be concatenating all the bullet point together into a single line making it fairly unreadable. Also the regular printable version doesn't properly spread the body of the document across multiple pages, I suspect the CSS/HTML isn't setup correctly to span multilple pages.

Using Word 2003, the headings and formatting are correct, but there were no actual dots. A select and re-bullet will take care of that.

Hi, the CLI commands are version independent. They will depend if you have a switch or a router. IOS 12.4 is fairly recent, but you should be able to view the version of the IOS you use during the exam scenarios. SDM version 2.5 is the current version, but 2.41 is enough. The menus have not changed that much from one version to the other.

Hi, my advise, is to get the 'Official study guides', they come with a CD that includes Boson environment that you can buy the full version and study/practise for the exams. if you have some additional $$, you might want to consider CBT nuggets or Chris Bryan Trainsignal. All these options are cheaper than outside courses/bootcamps.

Hi, deteiled SDM questions will be in the Security/wireless exams, but other wireless related questions will be part of the CCNA exam.

I'm currently trying both a webucator.com course for ccna prep (under $100) and an e-book from thebryantadvantage.com (under $100) and so far i'm happy with them. I took the exam years ago and failed with a 825 after reading the todd lamle book and working out scenarios on a makeshift lab at work.

I am curious to know whether the current 640 802 exam consists of voice,wireless and security questions? Is there a new syllabus for 2009 or is Cisco just adding topics as we move along?
