Yes, the technology questions were very easy. The JNCIS-ER should be a step up. Let us know if that is so when you take. Why have subnetting, when engineers can use a subnet calculator?

The questions I did have were covered pretty well in the JUNOS Enterprise Routing book. The Juniper-specific questions were a little tougher with my limited exposure to their equipment. What surprised me was how easy the technology related questions were, like the very basic OSPF and VRRP stuff. And the complete lack of subnetting or simulations. I was really expecting it to be more similar to the CCNA exams, but it was much less difficult, IMO. How can they not have any subnetting on there?!? It was shocking.

As I remember, I had several "obscure" M7i/M10 hardware questions which weren't covered in the OJRE pdf's. lol, you would think, right?

Just JUNOS nuances? With your experience it couldn't have been the technologies. Right? What’d you have trouble with the first time around? Just JUNOS nuances?

Nice work. The test isn't that bad at all, though I admit I missed it by 2 points the first time O_o. At the time thought the OJRE student and lab guides were just a little lacking (as compared to the Sybex JNCIA Study Guide which was written for the JNCIA-M). Congrats! Nice work.

If I ever get around to taking the DA I'll post about it (if I pass, haha). I think I need to do it soon, I feel ready, but I'm not super confident. Thanks!

It's encouraging to know it's not too difficult to get into the Juniper stuff. It's going to be something I plan on tackling on the side once I've passed my CCNA exam, and am working on the CCNP. Be sure to make a post after you've taken the CCDA exam, I'm also quite curious about what that one will be like as I'm hoping to take it myself. Jared Congrats Colby!
