Hi folks. I've heard various people note that on the CCNA exams, you'll run into quite a few questions dealing with IPX.

I'm in the 3rd course in the Cisco Net Academy program, and outside of some basic information, IPX hasn't really come into play.
In fact, on the cd that comes with the book(s), there is a practice exam you can take. Low and behold, there are usually around 5 or so questions on IPX despite the fact that the book basically doesn't say anything about it?? So I automatically lose 5 questions worth of marks because I don't know anything about IPX

Can anyone confirm if IPX is a large part of the new CCNA exams? I'd like to break the exam up into two (so CCNA 1+2, then CCNA 3+4) so I imagine it would be on the intro exam if it does show up...but again, I can't imagine how it could be on the exam if Cisco doesn't include it as part of their own curriculum.

Thanks!

There is absolutely no IPX in any current Cisco Associate or Professional level exams. I'm pretty sure it's gone from all flavors of the CCIE as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Confirm no IPX/SPX on current CCNA.

I recall the official Cisco announcement they dropped references to IPX/SPX when the 640-801 CCNA was introduced.

Thanks for the info, that's a load off my mind!
