Hi all,
I was just wondering if there is any labs in this exam, I mean simlets etc.
Also if someone could please let me know if Test Inside (T.I. 5v.71) is enough to prepare for the exam or do we need the Pass4sure questions as well.
I appreciate your help
cheers.
There are no lab sims in this exam.
Guys an update on pass4sure 122q/a… pl. provide download link for same.. or provide the latest the greatest material to pass the exam in one go… planning to take it before this friday…
Correction: P4S… 222q/a
I need P4S with 222 questions as well…..Please share …..thanks in advance
Hi,
I took CCDA exam last September and got 1000/1000. I do recommend reading CCDA quick reference guide, its like 60 pages that summarize the entire CCDA course.
I used P4S and others. I forgot the versions though. I will try to find out and post it here this weekend.
Is it possible to pass the CCDA without looking over P4S?
Thank M for your post…good luck
Hey M;
I’ve studied some of documents about 640-863. And also took a look up the questions on TI v5.71 (128 questions). Do you really think that TI is enough to pass? I’ve downloaded some of P4S versions but could not find the passwords or cracks for them. If you’ll give GA, i’ll trust you and will take the exam immediately. Thanks to advise. Brgds
@ Neptune : You write
Codec: G.728
Bit rate: 16 Kbps
WAN Bandwidth: 256 Kbps
Packet Header: 6 bytes
Payload: 40 bytes
CRTP: Yes
And give an answer not very well explained.
Since I recently studied CCNAvoice exam certification guide, and I really understood all of it (with the help of ch1 of ONT book) let me post a thorough explanation.
I suppose that the voice sample is 20ms duration (they usually are 20 or 30 ms, that means that the amount of information of 0.02 or 0.03 sec of human voice is sampled and quantizized according to the codecs specifications, then the next 0.02 sec , then the next…). Since the G.728 codec functions in such a way that it only needs 16000 bits /sec to carry its information (it is smarter than the G.711, needs less bits to “say” more) the information of the 0.02 sec of voice needs 16000*0.02=320bits=40 bytes.
So instead of giving me (well the question did it, not you!) the payload as 40 bytes, you could give me the sample size as being 0.02 sec.
So these 40 bytes are at the application layer, and need to be packed and encaptulated (UDP/RTP, IP, layer 2 ). So we have cRTP so we add 4 bytes (we should add 40 bytes , 20 from IP, 8 from UDP and 12 from RTP = 40 bytes total if we have no compression). I suppose that the 6 bytes you mention as packet header are the layer 2 header (it should be from a frame relay, if it was ethernet it would be 20 bytes according to CCNAvoice book)
So our packet is not 40 bytes now , as it is ready to get transmmited in the wire, but it is
40+4+6= 50 bytes, and it still carries the information of 0.02 sec of voice.
So since we initially needed 50 packets of 0.02 sec duration to send, to fill a second of human voice, we still must send 50 expanded packets (that they no longer carry only bits concerning digital audio information, they now also carry bits concerning headers).
That means we must be able to send 50 packets of 50 bytes size per sec.
2500 bytes/sec are necessary for our phone conversation (in the download direction and another 2500 bytes/sec in the upload direction).
So that is 2500*8=20000 bits/sec = 20kbits/sec.
So if our total bandwidth is 256kb/s (for download and another 256 upload) this bandwidth can sustain 12 calls (and leave some 16 kb/s for data packets)
I hope this made it clear to you boys and girls!

Passed 987/1000 today. TI 5.71 is still valid. Dunno where i made a lil mistake :)
Is there any CCDP site available like CCDA?
Hi Everyone,
Just passed the CCDA exam, scoring just a little short 987/1000.
Test inside is still valid, anyone needs it you can download from the below link
Exam is still available until April 2011
Test inside link
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KSZJA695
I found all Drag and Drop questions in this great site apart from one new one apart from one of them about the Wan technologies.
it is easy to guess the answers if you have read the Cisco press CCDA exam certification guide.
I was confused with one option and that being which Wan technology reserves the bandwidth and does not release it when required, ( I dont remember the option well)
I ticked TDM but could be wrong, other options were Sonet and Dwdm
Apart from that the rest everything is here on this site.
I suggest to everyone to read the CCDA book, do all the chapter questions and then test yourself with Test inside, If you you read the book thoroughly you will answer most of the questions anyway, and then visit this great site and do practice the Drag and Drop questions.
I wish everyone taking exam good luck and would like to thank Dstut for all the help provided here.
Cheers.

I hear there is a new drag and drop question in regards to WAN technologies, such as Sonet, ISDN, ATM etc…Any truth to that? How many drag and drop’s are on the exam, 2-3?
Passed 949/1000 in NY
4 out of the 5 Drag and Drop questions were valid…
The PPDIOO drag and drop was not on the exam, but the other 4 were…
There was a new one on Managment – so brush up on these
MIB
SNMP
ATM
Cisco Works
Hi The Dude,
there is at least 4 drag and drop, I got all that is on this website plus one about Wan technologies, Sonet, ISDN, ATM, TDM DWDM, modem.
They are easy to guess if you have read the book. See my comments above.
Rameen
100% VALID , ALL QUESTIONS FROM THIS SITE , NO NEW DRAG AND DROP , I JUST ENCOUNTERED 3 D&D , REST ALL IS THERE ON THIS WEBSITE , I PASSED 933/1000.
BEST OF LUCK TO THE FUTURE CANDIDATES !
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
I want this cert…is it true the exam and material will change Dec 16 2010?
Is that true? the exam is changing??
Passed CCDA to finally get my CCDP today.. everything on here still the same on the exam… wish y’all the best…
Dear all,
I have ccda exam in 28th December, 2010.I’m studying only all questions and answer from publish in this site.is it enough for my exam?
please suggest me about it.
Thanking you in advance,
Vobesh Roy
@vobesh: Most things if not all on this site should suffice. If you can get your hands on TI v 5.71, it will help you greatly… check for the link somewhere in this forum…. All the best
The 640-863 CCDA exam expires April 30, 2011, which I assume this site has questions for. Cisco does have a new exam, 640-864 for CCDA that was introduced Dec 16. But, until April 30, 2011, you can take either exam to get CCDA.
Thanx to GOD.
Thanx to dstut.
Thanx to every one who help me .
I passed CCDA Exam today with score 973/1000, all the questions from this site or you can use TI5.71 it will be helpfull.
there is one new D&D question about (SNMP,MIB ,RMON & Cisco Works)
I passed ccda today with 1000/1000 and imho TI 5.71 + dstut should be suffiecient. I think all the questions on exam were here.
Can anybody comment if there will be an alike site for the ARCH exam? Or could anybody recommend such a site? Not merely where dumps are posted, but where questions can be discussed among peers?
Just did the exam. Still the same. Only one new drag and drop (basic things about ISDN, WAN, SONNET and stuff).
What is the recommended path for the CCDP and what similar test prep materials are available on the web to accomplish this? I am testing for my CCDA tomorow.
Hey everybody , i dont know i can’t understand CCDA , i dont know how to use it in real life , i dont know what to do to begin designing a netwok , CBT nuggets CCDA Video is Sucks , i can’t understand anything from the instructor , i dont know in designing we are gonna use SONA or Top Down approach or Architectural mode , really i got confused about many things , please advice me how to study this certificate
Hello guys. I passed CCDA yesterday. I had not new questions only like on this web site.
My exam will held in 5th january,2011. is TI 5.71 + dstut is till valid???
I gave exam on 1 jan 2011, got 1000. TI 5.71+dstut is valid. only one drag and drop was new.
what was the new drag and drop give us some hint
Has anyone taken the exam lately?
Passed 640-863 with perfect score, thanks to dsut… a very wonderful site for preparation.
Only one Drag n Drop which I have not seen before but understandable. All I can remember is there is SDM, CSM, Iphone, a type of computer but very simple, just know SDM and CSM.
can anyone please give us info regarding new Drag and drop what do you mean of SDM,CSM,IP phone plz.
passed this evening with a 949/1000.
read the Cisco press book, did the questions, studied the questions here and used the testinside engine.
I had 5 drag and drop questions, the only not listed in in dstut is the WAN one.
As long as you study the book, the questions listed here, and can reason logically, you will pass.
Now I am on my way to CCDP…then CCIE…
Good luck to all…
DragonNetwork
can you give me some information regarding WAN one plz.
hi friends this is prakash,i want give ccda exam in this month,so please suggest the dumps download link and provide the simlets..plz..any one urgent..
Hi dear,
Passed 640-863 with 1000 Score.many many thanks to dsut and its all stuff…… a very nice site for exam preparation.
I follow this site examples and cisco ccda exam guide for this exam.
Thanks
Romesh
I Passed 640-863 with 1000 score…2 voip computations and 3 drag and drop. no new drag and drop.
I used the quick reference sheet and the official book
what do you mean by 2 voip computations can you plz give me alittle info on it
those voip computations are the number of calls using g.711 (pcm) and g.728 codec, given the wan bandwidth and the payload. if you don’t know how does the answers were derived, you will just memorize the answer. but those problems have different approach of solving, since they are using different codec. try to revisit some electronic communications book like the books from tomasi. i used those book aside the official books from cisco press and the quick reference.
what the exam i can clear it and get certif ccda
and have laps or just m-choice and d&d
plz help me
and the fees of this eaxm ?
What is the EXAM Price???
I have passed today with 1000 points, TI 5.71+dstut is still valid, only one new drag and drop question
