    Gooner12, only theoretical. No lab simulations. You only need the mouse in the exam :-)

    Ordermaker im sure you are wrong on this:

    Define some of the activities, tools, and techniques used in today’s network-design process.(Choose three.)

    A.
    Analyzing network traffic

    B.
    Simulation of network traffic

    C.
    Network auditing

    D.
    Filtering incoming network traffic

    ABC is right. The dump is wrong.

    Design Activities, Tools, and Techniques:

    “During the network-design process, tools are available to facilitate some of the activities. Some of the activities supported by tools include network auditing, traffic analysis, and network simulation.”
    http://ciscosecurity.org.ua/1587051672/ch06lev1sec1.html

    I bealive that in network simulation you can generate some traffic..

    Hi All that pass the exam.

    why is the “CCDA 640-864 v2.1” has only Drag and Drop Questions 1 and
    Drag and Drop Questions 2 ????

    do you also need to review the first ccda 640-863?????

    Drag and Drop Questions
    Design Fundamentals
    Cisco Enterprise Architecture Model
    Cisco SONA Architecture
    PPDIOO Methodology
    Network Management
    Wireless Questions
    Voice Design
    Security in Design
    OSPF Questions
    EIGRP Questions
    IPv4 Questions
    IPv6 Questions
    Other Routing Protocols
    WAN Design
    Miscellaneous Questions
    ?????????????????????????????? is this still valid ???????????

    please help i don’t know what to review the new version which has only 2 drag and drops question or it the old verison should be included??????????????????

  8. mguerrero
    September 14th, 2012

    @CCDA_NEED_HELP, the 640-863 should also be included in your “study”. Good luck.

    @CCDA_NEED_HELP (and anyone trying to pass):

    I don’t know why you would review the 863 material…that said the ‘sure-proof’ formula for winning is:

    1. Read the Official Cert Guide 640-864 book. It’s an all around win.
    2. Study (meaning research and learn the answers to) all questions on dstut & aiotestking
    3. Spend the $70 and buy a good practice exam (L2P is the most used on the people posting here).

    Personally, I think you could pass with just 2/3 but you’d miss out on a great deal of understanding which, in the long run, may cost you. Then again, it may not.

    From my experience, all ‘practice exams’ have quite a few wrong answers. Sometimes I wonder if it’s intentional – the only way to be sure is to understand the content (hence my ‘study’ not ‘memorize’ comment above).

    Good luck!

  10. krypsys
    September 14th, 2012

    …that said, about the actual question on DnDs on this site, when I click the two links on the top, I get a great deal more than (1) DnD on each.

    All of the DnD’s here, however, will be on a valid purchased practice exam, as well (and then some).

    @BlackStar

    Congratulations!

    Which resources did you study for the exam? (Dumps, CBT, Book,..)?

  13. BlackStar
    September 17th, 2012

    Thanks Sitavak.

    Both dumps and book… I am not gonna lie. I did not read the whole book, but parts of it. I work in an ISP, so I am familiar with most of the stuff. Study Data Center virtualization, architectures, basics on wireless, basics on security and codecs in Voice. Questions on routing and layer 1 are very easy. You have them straight from the dumps. For drag and drop, make sure they are correct because dumps are not correct. I got two new drag and drops on Virtualization and 3 or 4 new questions on borderless networks, OTV.

    Good Luck!!!

    @BlackStar

    did you also review the “CCDA 640-863” and “CCDA 640-864 v2.1” ?
    what other material did you use for CCDA,

    Congratulation by the way :)

    Mguerrero-passed with 927. 10 questions or so that were included in the dump you mentioned, but I did fine. Advice to all-a lot of D&D’s included, the ones listed on right side links as well as some data center ones…

    Here is a question from 864 actual tests:

    When designing a WAN backup for voice and video applications, what three types of connections should be used:

    A. Private WAN
    B. Internet
    C. ISDN
    D. MPLS
    E. dial-up
    F. ATM
    G. DSL
    H. MPLS <– duplicated

    Actuall tests correct answer is: Private WAN, ISDN and MPLS.
    Any ideas?

    Cisco guide wan backup options are: Dial (isdn), secondary wan link, shadow pvc, ipsec across internet.

    MInd the question asks specifically for voice and video support.

    I passed my exam with 890 marks.
    It’s a tough exam so study the latest exam guide thoroughly and in the last week go through the prep questions.
    D&D are identical to the ones on this site. But like I said study thoroughly if you want to get an understanding of design because it is an important exam!

  30. Delta
    October 14th, 2012

    @JJ:
    The Private WAN, Internet, and ISDN make the most sense to me (A,B,C). I don’t think MPLS is correct because it’s not really a backup WAN link (more of a primary) and it’s listed twice. Dialup implies POTS but could be correct if it were ISDN — it’s also listed in the book as Dial Backup. DSL implies Internet which is already listed in a broader context and DSL would also be considered slow compared to other choices. I also suspect that whoever copied the question listed the correct answers first and then came up with alternatives which is why MPLS is listed twice.

    Which three technologies are recommended to be used for WAN connectivity in today’s Enterprise Edge designs (Choose three.)
    A. DWDM
    B. Metro Ethernet
    C. Frame Relay
    D. MPLS VPN
    E. ISDN
    F. DSL
    G. Wireless
    Actualtest shows answer as A,B,D.
    I think it should be B,C,D. DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing) doesn’t make sense. Frame Relay is listed at http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1722560 in the Enterprise Edge functional area for WAN/MAN. Frame Relay is old but still used.

    Hi Kapoo, congratulation for your new cert, hey can you please send me the Cisco.Lead2Pass.640-864.v2012-09-03.by.FRAIN.340q VCE file, I’m sure you have it from longer than, when we started having issues downloading from examcollection. Look that every time you download any VCE it got taget like a newer version forcing you to purchase a new VCE manager version, I tested it because I re-download a older VCE I have since a month ago tha are working fine, now have version problem, so we may find different place than examcollection to start uploading the VCEs files.

    The three technologies recommended to be used for WAN connectivity wasn’t on my exam but Aman’s new question was. I still think that Metro, Frame Relay and MPLS VPN make the most sense.
