has anyone written the exam this week ? or last week ? Any thoughts ? suggestions ? correct answers ?

CCDP VCE – someone just used these dumps you have attached and also failed.

is true that most question are wrong…my suggestion it was to correct them as group …who volunteer….
1st. we split the question by chapter as the book
2nd. we take each one a chapter and start to fix the answer with software
3rd . we collect them all together with correct answers.

who volunteer to split them by chapter? :)

I am working on the pass4sure questions and I am working on the first 100 questions , I can give you their answers by tomorrow. Can you work on the 2nd 100 ? and we exchange tomorrow ?

100 question one day? really is this possible? i had an idea of 5 people each one 50 question or each one take few chapter when the question are splitted by chapter ….the person would read one chapter and start in it …is much more easier than following one question from the start of the book and an other in the end :)

Hi Guys i passed Exam in October and we figured out half of the question I would suggest you to work as a team other wise no one will be able to get any beenfit from this debates.
main things are drag and drop and routing once u get that sorted we almost got 80 + in other domains .

You are right Kash !

I have taken the test yesterday, when i saw these new questions i took some more time but completely surprised by the new drag & drop and anxiously waited after the submission but by grace of god i cleared it.

Two new questions i came across though i cannot remember the full questions but below will give you some hint.

New D & D

CEF
FHRP Routing
No FHRP Routing
Increase bandwidth at core & distribution

New Question

What needs to be considered in enterprise network for the video traffic

A video streaming to be used as a TCP for delay & jitter
B Avoid bandwidth hungry video for unsupported applications

I would also thank you guys for support.

I gonna take ARCH exam on 23 Dec , I hope that the dump will be stable before due date :D

Gentlemen, I have searched everywhere and cannot seem to find 642-874 study material. Please share your e-book for 642-874?
Thanks

There is no official material for 642-874, yet…

Yes there is – Cisco has released their new book V3.

JTA has some corrected answers where as jenna’s is staright copy of the actual test exam. Probably best to start workign with that one

hello frnds

i am little confused here that after CCNA is it CCNP or CCDA. I have done my CCNA and now looking for next step.

thanks

Mathebula and CiscoGeek,
Cisco has released their V3 for the ARCH exam, however it is not available as an e-book. You will need to purchase the hard copy.

christina,
You can take CCNA or CCDA without any requirements. You will need a CCNA certification as a pre-requisite for CCNP. You will need CCNA+CCDA as a pre-requisite for CCDP. Check Cisco website.

What is the best dump to prepare for the exam? Are the ones on examcollection enough?

All, I just wrote the exam yesterday and PASSED !!!!!!!!! Thank God.
Now CCDP Certified !
Unless you read the material and understand it then you will pass.

Sephiroth – It is available as an Ebook. Check the cisco press.

Anonymous – If you want to pass do not rely on any dumps – at least 25 % to 35 % of the answers are incorrect. In my humble opinion , you can use the dumps as reference but dont rely on them whatsoever!

Good Luck to everyone persuing this exam!

@CiscoGeek
Could you share some details of the exam? Were you able to get a good mark (900+)? Thanks.

@CiscoGeek
Congratulations on your achievement. Hopefully, I will be able to get this one done as well.

Doesn’t anybody have this PDF, yet? http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587142880

i have the book pdf

ccdp vce shame on you! Nobody forced you to upload anything so don’t upload crap.

I have the real book and it is 736 pages. Even cisco press page says 736. Yours is 428 pages. What happened to the other 308 pages?

Tusker if you have the book, please provide us with a download link. It will be appreciated very much. Thanks

Anonymous, I would have gladly provided the pdf, but I got the physical hard copy only, bought from cisco press and only have safari online access with no download tokens. If you have a workaround to download the pdf let me know.

sorry didn t know it was incomplete …but somone have the complete he can share …we are just trying to help :)

Come on Gentlemen, help us get this study material. I desperately need 642-874 study material. Anyone here to help?

ccdp vce, thanks for your help. But we are looking for a complete book.

@Sephiroth : The exam material is exactly like the pass4sure / Actual tests – there will be 2 or 3 questions extra. I unfortunately dont remember them. But if you do read the book and understand the general material you should be able to answer them ok.

I have a coupon that provides FREE access for 45 days to the E-Book – Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) Foundation Learning Guide: (CCDP ARCH 642-874), Third Edition.

VALID ONLY UNTIL 26 JAN 2012 –

Hi

Please help me with answers:

Q2. As a critical part of the design for the Enterprise Campus network, which of the following two are true concerning intrusion detection and prevention solution? (Choose two)

A) IDS is capable of both inline and promiscuous monitoring, while IPS is only capable of promiscuous monitoring.

B) IDS will stop malicious traffic from reaching its intended target for certain types of attacks.

C) IPS processes information on Layer 3 and 4 as well as analyzing the contents and payload of the packets for more sophisticated embedded attacks (Layers 3 to 7)

D) IPS inspects traffic statefully and needs to see both sides of the connection to function properly.

E)IDS placement at the perimeter of Data Center outside the firewall generates many warnings that have relatively low value because no action is likely to be taken on this information.

Answers : C & E

Thease answers are correct but after a little search i think the (D) is also a correct option.
“Self-Study” v2 Page 275 :

“This asymmetric traffic flow can cause problems with inline IPS devices. Because an IPS sensor inspects traffic statefully and needs to see both
sides of the connection to function properly, asymmetric traffic flows may cause valid traffic to be dropped.”

Please help ……..

Hi

Last night i start to Reviewing and Correcting “Cisco.Prepking.642-874.v2011-11-24.by.Jenna.265q” VCE and by now , First 100 Questions is Cleared.

4.OSPF stub areas are an important tool for the Network designer; which of the following two should be
considered when utilizing OSPF stub areas?
A. OSPF stub areas increase the size of the LSDB with the addition of Type 3 and 5 LSAs
B. OSPF not so stubby areas are particularly useful as a simpler form of summarization
C. OSPF stub areas are always insulated from external changes
D. OSPF stub areas can distinguish among ASBRs for destinations that are external to the OSPF domain
E. OSPF totally stubby cannot distinguish among ABRs for the best route to destinations outside the
areas
Answer: B,E

Sorry, BD true in new Guide

Q7
my opinion:

Trunks – manually prune
VSS – power 2
etherchannel – stp failure
UDLD – fiber-optics
STP – network edge

Mapi your opinion is right

Q21 comment

OSPF statements are most relevant?
i think
A. and B.

Q27
my opinion:

Static RP – static with on inherent failover or l-b mech
Auto-RP – Dynamic utilzing RP mapping agents
Anycast RP – static with MSDP
BSR – dynamic utilizing link-local multicast messages flooded hop by hop

Hi

in my version of VCE i didnt correct any Drag & drop questions.

Asad hi, ok. I realized.

Asad, now i verify your first part

Mapi, I believe you are correct on the RP model drag/drop

Anycast RP
Because some sources and receivers might end up using different RPs, there needs to be some way for the RPs to exchange information about active sources. This is done with MSDP. MSDP announces the source addresses of the sources sending to a group (pg 537 ARCH 3rd edition)
Multicast Source Discovery Protocol(MSDP)

BSR is another dynamic RP selection protocol.
This information is distributed through link-local multicast messages that travel from PIM router to PIM router. (pg 541 ARCH 3rd edition)

Should i Remove all OLD voWLAN & CCVP Questions from VCE ?

Asad, took test yesterday and didn’t pass. Only 2 new questions. Going through each question again and changing some I thought were correct.

Noticed you have B & D correct. Quoted pages from ARCH 2nd edition study guide

Q4 – OSPF stub areas – looks like 3 answers are correct. What’s the correct answer?
(B) OSPF not so stubby areas are particularly useful as a simpler form of summarization
(pg 111) The various kinds of OSPF stub areas can be thought of as a simpler form of summarization. The point of using OSPF stub areas, totally stubby areas, not-so-stubby areas (NSSA), is to reduce the amount of routing information advertised into an area
(C) OSPF stub areas are always insulated from external changes
(pg 128) Stub areas, totally stubby areas, and summary routes also insulate the area from external changes.
(D) OSPF totally stubby cannot distinguish among ABRs for the best route to destinations outside the areas
(pg 130) Stub areas cannot distinguish among ABRs for destinations external to the OSPF domain (redistributed routes)

Hi

crabber , Did you see any vowlan questions in your yesterday exam ?

about question 4 , I’m still searching for answer.

Asad, question 8 Why is STP required when VLANs span access layer switches? I see an arguement for A, B and C. 2 nd edition study guide quotes:

You may need to implement STP for several reasons:
When a VLAN spans access layer switches to support business applications.
(pg 47)

So, I’m thinking C is correct
(C) in order to support business applications

Crabber, You are right.

i also have some doubt about this questions, but i think “to protect against user-side loops” is more realistic than “in order to support business applications”.

there are many single choice question with more than one correct answer.

Asad,
Come to think of it no questions from VoWLAN

Asad,
Do you know why “(A) to ensure a loop-free topology” would not be correct?

Asad,
I struggle with these tests that have more than one correct answer. Microsoft does the same thing.
