I am getting ready to take my CCNA next Tuesday and I seem to have a mindblock in ISDN theory. Can someone who has taken the exam recently let me know how much emphasis is on ISDN?
Thanks in advance
 
grg2,

The simple answer - most people I know who have taken the exam say - not much!

From the Cisco Exam topics page for the CCNA, here are the topics that have to do with ISDN -

- Choose WAN services to meet customer requirements

Understanding the difference between ISDN, PPP, Frame Relay, HDLC etc.

- Implement simple WAN protocols

Understanding IOS commands used to configure ISDN

- Perform simple WAN troubleshooting

Understanding show and debug commands used with ISDN

- Evaluate key characteristics of WANs

Once again - Understanding the difference between ISDN, PPP, Frame Relay, HDLC etc.


These are the 4 areas where you might see an ISDN question, with about 55 questions on the exam, you would be lucky to see 2-3 questions.

Here is a good link at Cisco that covers the basics of ISDN.


What book did you study for the exam - reread that chapter!

Also, if you have access to the Sybex CCNA Study Guide by Todd L. read it - always felt that Todd's book was one of the best for JUST getting the facts needed for the test.

I hope this helps!
