Re: trouble accessing cisco documentation CD [7:8330]
Those CD's are the bane of my existence. I send hate mail to Cisco about those things. I have systems that they absolutely refuse to install on, even if I install all of the crap they put on those things. That Netscrape Castigator is 1997 technology. For GOD's CISCO "IE 5.5". Give me a brake here. Can't they just make the whole thing html? I don't always have access to Csico.com. Sorry for the rant. Please bug TAC about this.

Re: Which is the Best Book on the CID test [7:8117]
I don't think that anyone dislikes the Cisco CID book. I think that some folks wish it was a bit more focused on the exam itself. Try the Sybex ( I haven't read it but it comes highly recommended here) if you want a book focused on the test. Personally I read the Cisco book and with my prior knowledge/reading it was more than enough to pass the CID exam. I did read the Sybex exam notes and found it vague at best. Good Luck!

Re: Layer3 switch vs Router [7:7406]
Well, Someone may have a product based answer for you but literally a router is a layer 3 switch.

A router either bridges or has separate subnets on each of its interfaces.(simplistic answer of course).

Passed CCIE written today [7:5947]
Thanks for all of the help and interesting discussion. I passed the CCIE written today and it was a bitch. The written is only a test that is a turning point for focus. Yes it is hard and it also can be somewhat convoluted. To avoid all of the questions about what did you use and "what was on the exam" here is a synopsis that does not violate the agreement. (I hope!) Preparing for the CCDP and CCNP are the best ways to get there. After that go with a Cisco prep book (I used the Que CCIE prep). Read all of the white papers that you can get your hands on from Cisco, concentrating on the areas that you feel you are the weakest. Hands on is the best teacher but it does not substitute for understanding. As Cisco says the steps are - Hands on, self study & training. Use the Rossi token paper @ http://www.ccprep.com/resources/news/archives/Token_Ring2.pdf Confirm your knowledge of RIF's @ http://www.loopy.org/rif.cgi Thanks Chad! Read the cramsession @ http://www.cramsession.brainbuzz.com Boson gives you an idea if you are ready but ... The CID book is a great refresher and yes the blue print on Cisco.com is to be followed with reverence. I have read alot of e-mails about what people did and did not see on the test and they are all different. The blueprint is your best guide. Use it. I will not answer specific questions about the exam but anything general please feel free to email me personally. On to the real test. ugh Man I love this stuff!!

Re: Distributed Director [7:5794]
I use one for load balancing between two IIS servers. One server in Jersey and one in Richmond VA. Basically a www request gets forwarded to the Dis Dir. by the DNS server and then the "router" picks either of the two servers at random to send the user to the intranet home page. The servers are replicated with Veritas replication exec at the www level so they have the same web content. The director polls each of the servers every 20 secs on port 80 to confirm that web content is available. If one of the servers is down then the user is always forwarded to the server that is up. I have the older version though. I believe there is a lot more functionality to the newer models.

To determine whether a Flash memory device is full, use the dir command. To permanently delete files on a Flash memory device, complete the following task from privileged EXEC mode: Command Purpose squeeze filesystem: Permanently delete all files marked "deleted" in Flash memory. Command : squeeze filesystem Purpose :Permanently delete all files marked "deleted" in Flash memory When you issue the squeeze command, the router copies all valid files to the beginning of Flash memory and erases all files marked "deleted." At this point, you cannot recover "deleted" files, and you can now write to the reclaimed Flash memory space. Note The squeeze operation can take as long as several minutes because it can involve erasing and rewriting almost an entire Flash memory space.
