RCSA-W 101-01

Barry Coull May 27, 2016 12:08 PM

I am after some advice. My employer has asked that I pass the RCSA-W by June. I have already taken 1 exam with a score of 41%. My roles has me monitoring devices and dealing with any issues. I have never deployed or configured ANY devices. Yes I have changed ip addresses, upgraded RIOS, added in-path rules & SNMP trap config. I have completed the WAN200 course in December 2015 and have been monitoring the devices every since.

I would like to hear from someone else who thinks this is achievable when you consider I have only been working with Riverbed since November 2015.

Any advice or tips on how to pass would be helpfully.

Hi Barry,

Here is RCSA-W Blueprint. This will be helpful for you.

The blueprint dated January 2016 version 2.9 is wrong. Nothing in the general guide telling you to study SaaS yet they have questions in the exam? Also the WAN200 is based on RiOS 8.6.x yet the exam is based on RiOS 9.x??

  Hey Barry ,
  Firstly, Congratulations for passing RCSA-W !
  Can you let me know what all did you study for RCSA-W. Although , I have passed RCSA-W back in 2014 but I believe the version and blueprint has changed now. Can you share some light on it , as you cleared recently so you are the best person to discuss. Also , would it be better to take RCSA-W OR RCSP-W. I have to take any of these exams before November,2016. Please suggest.

    Hi Kochierster,
    
    I went over the steelhead deployment guide a few times. Brushed up on SaaS and steelhead mobile. Also study QoS due to the amount of questions I had.
    
    I found the RCSA-W hard but after solid study I managed.
    
    Cheers
    Barry

Thanks for your revert. It seems that if you found RCSA tough then there is no sense in taking RCSP until I am confident. I guess it would be wise to renew the certification just by taking RCSA at the moment where there is high probability of passing considering my knowledge and preparation.
