Chapter 6: IP Forwarding

Read most of chapter 6, which is IP forwarding. It’s all review so far. I’m going to do some verification in the form of labbing some policy routing which is part of this section. I don’t use PBR often, so I won’t lie and say I’m sharp on it right now, but it’s pretty straightforward, [...]

Sleepy thoughts of CCIE motivation

I’ve gotten 2 hours of sleep in a 44 hr time period, and have a minimum of 5 hours until I can go to bed. Long story..no, it’s not by choice. I’m ready to sleep. Anyway..that’s your forewarning. I like these posts. I like writing up something that I truly believe, thinking that maybe, just [...]

IP Subnetting chapter whipped!

Finished the IP Subnetting chapter. I decided to read it from start to finish, and I pretty much did that. Good review never hurts, and thankfully I was on point with all of the exercises already, so I’ve “still got it”.. Started the IP Services chapter. It’s disappointing how short the sections are for each [...]

3640′s arrived!

So the 3640′s arrived! They look great! I bought them from Cablesandkits.com based on reading some solid reviews. They were a little bit pricey from cablesandkits, but the equipment is in GREAT shape, is super clean, and was packed very well. Overall, I’m very impressed! Now I’m just waiting on the rack and the rest [...]

Here is what it will consist of: (4) 3550′s (3) 2611xm’s (3) 3640′s (instead of 1841′s) (1) 2522 (Frame switch) (3) 2501′s (BB routers) (1) 2511 (Terminal server) If you’re familiar with Internetworkexpert’s topology, you’ll probably notice that you only really “need” two BB routers [...]

CCIE Motivation

  I love the internet. Not because of social networking sites, viral videos, or the latest updates on tiger woods’ infidelity. I love it because it’s the only place that I can see (well, read) about others who are just as motivated as myself, if not more. In the real world, I know about 200 [...]

Why I think the CCIE R&S V4.0 is easier.

Alright, hear me out. I’m not saying the CCIE is easy. I’m not saying it’s “easier then ever.” What I AM saying is, I think the v4.0 (while many have been afraid of 4.0)- is easier than 3.0 Here’s how I see it.. Cisco had a problem with cheating/braindumps We all know it. Braindumping was [...]

Review, review, review, and some more review..

So I started the CCIE exam cert book again, and got up to Chapter 7 with the time I had fairly quickly, which was good, since pretty much everything was still fresh in my mind. I am going to lab some IP services stuff and HSRP/VRRP/GLBP today and tomorrow, and then hit the books again [...]
