I was working with Cisco routers and switches for about two years in the last place and it really would be a waste of knowledge not to sit this exam before I forget it all.

Man I didn’t realise how much i had forgotten until i managed to get my hands on a copy of packet tracer! Packet tracer is like a work bench where you can setup virtual servers, clients, printers switches routers… even wireless routers and test connectivity between the devices. The icing on the cake no less, is that you have an individual IOS and and terminal session on each device mimicking near exactly the actual routers connectivity.

On a side note, who ever invented sub-netting, bit pinching and network address shortening… I’d kick you in the face for making me do maths.

I Started with today and sat my first Citrix exam. I’m delighted to say i passed with flying colours, 96% :)

So now I’m a CCA for XenApp :)

I trawled around for a while and found the cbt nuggets for the exam and i must say even after 5 years supporting server 2003 even i learned something from this guy!

Linky to software is here: http://www.cbtnuggets.com/webapp/product?id=171

cannot recommend the software high enough :)
