640-445 SNAM
As prep for the CCIE, I am scheduled to take the Global Knowledge class of SNA Config for Multiprotocol Admins on Dec 18th-22nd, http://db.globalknowledge.com/catalog/course.asp?course=5600&cat=6 I was wondering what opinion people might have regarding not only the class, but the provider as well. Also, has anyone taken the test for Cisco for the SNA #640-445 and if so what can you tell me, without violating the NDA. tia Stevan Pierce Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=1&i=1075&t=1075 -- You are reading GroupStudy's Associate Mailing List.

Re: why the prompt is different for 5505 switches? any one know?
1) If your colleages sent you the config files from the 5505 switch fabric then it would look similar to the second line "somertarou>(enable)"; however, your colleagues sent you the config off of the supervisor engine. 2) To get the to the switch fabric, get the address of the fabric and telnet to that.

Re: host name to IP address resolution
Jason, Since you did not specify if you were trying to ping NetBIOS name or DNS name, I am going to assume that you were trying to ping the NetBIOS name, but will also give an explanation of trying to ping the DNS name. NetBIOS To avoid confusion on the server when pinging by NetBIOS name, the server will respond only to the primary IP address bound to the NIC; however, you can define multiple NetBIOS names to multiple IP addresses via a HOST file or WINS. The fact that the interfaces were down tells me that someone did not know what to do with the IP addresses and stuck them there OR was playing around. DNS One of the reasons behind adding multiple IP addresses to a server would be to define multiple web sites to a server, shared hosting. Is there IIS or its equivalent running on the box? If yes, then you have your answer-multiple web sites Stevan ""Diesel"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 8mvpvj$l23$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:8mvpvj$l23$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I recently ran into a situation where a single hostname was assigned three > different IP addresses for resolution.

Re: Ethernet Troubleshooting Woes
John, You may have already answered your question by asking it to the group. "Bring a PC back to the switch room and connect it to any port and the program runs as advertised. So, I'm not going to waste my time with that. I've also considered replacing the NIC in the server since we're seeing errors coming from it, but that would not explain the problems we're having, anyway, so that is probably pointless. any ideas?" What is the one thing that you are eliminating when you brind the PC to the back room with the switch?? Yes, that's right-CABLING! I am going to assume that you are using fresh cable for this and the cable happens to be Cat5. As far as an expensive company to install this, do it yourself or find someone. I used to work for a company that installs cabling in nearly any part of the US. If you are interested, I can have someone from the organization call you and quote a price to you. Install some new cabling, Cat5, and spend about $20 a NIC and viola-you have 100 full to the desktop. Users will love you; and, then you will able to spend more time studying or cruising the Internet Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
