OSPF plan of attack
Read some more OSPF tonight. I’ve decided it’s going to be a LONG road to OSPF supremacy! For the written, I want to know OSPF well, but I’m not looking to learn every little detail so that I spend so much time on it I forget all of the other subjects..make sense? So here’s my [...]
EIGRP done.
Sorry for not staying on top of this thing the last few days! Work, and getting a strange stomach bug made studying difficult, and updating my blog even harder. I am still at it, I assure you all. Here’s my progress in the last few days. Finished IP Forwarding..straightforward Read Chapter 7 (EIGRP) Labbed INE [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Keeping track of it all: ip access-list log-update threshold
I’ve been doing some great studying lately. Here’s my progress: -Read up to page 85 on the CCIE Exam Cert Guide (4th edition) -Read 10-20 pages of the BCMSN book, used it to review on some layer 2 topics that the exam cert guide didn’t go into to much detail with -Did up to page [...]
Plan of action
Yesterday I watched one of the CoD videos from INE (EIGRP), did some EIGRP labs from Vol I (INE also), and read some OSPF. I quickly realized I needed to focus on one area at a time, not skip around anymore. That being said, I’ve developed a simple, but hopefully effective, plan of action. It [...]
IEWB Vol I/EIGRP labs
I finally got to give the rack a test drive! It performed well! Anyways, I only had time to run through some EIGRP labs from IEWB Vol I. I finished about half of that section, they were pretty basic. I still tried to take my time and verify everything before testing it out, so I’d [...]
“Final” pic..
Got the cabling done. In this picture the term server is missing since I had to return it to CiscoKits so they can send a “new” one, and therefore the Octal cabling isn’t shown, but the rack is pretty much in it’s “final” shape. It should be noted, I’ve moved things around just a little [...]
Troubleshooting your frame switch
After spending way too much time troubleshooting my frame switch, I figured my advice could help others. In my case, I had a very, VERY weird issue with my frame switch, which essentially manifested itself in the form of one-way communciation between the devices connected to it. The interfaces would come up for 30 seconds, [...]
Cables, cables, and more cables
I’ve spent the last few days getting the rack all wired up and the terminal server working. It looks like I have an issue with my terminal server (2511) not working on some of my TTY lines. I have contacted CiscoKits, which is sending a return mailing address label to me, so I can ship [...]
