A dumb question (hit me or ignore me ;)) [7:58288]

[deltan]

Why can't I directly hook up a laptop to a 6509 switch
port that enables "stp portfast" (using straight-thru
cable)?

I can't ping anything in the same subnet (as the
port's VLAN's) and there's no ARP entry in either my
laptop or in 6509.

Any words will be appreciated. :)

Bill

Re: Off Topic - Cisco vis a vis World Com [7:47505]

[deltan]

UUNet is a Cisco shop for sure (Canada and US).

And don't confuse WCOM's data networking division with
UUNet (WCOM's subsidiary in Internetworking).

Those students might be talking about the data
networking sidetrue or false, I don't know.

SNMP and password recovery?? [7:5852]

[deltan]

say, a network admin lost router passwords, however,
he still remembers snmp community string (for r+w).

how can he retrieve or reset the passwords (what's 
the mib variable?) without having to tftp-upload a
whole router config???

btw, the stuff obtained from snmpwalk is really not
as readable at all as the router config itself. ;)

diff b/w BSCN and BCMSN?

[deltan]

Could anyone tell me the differences between BSCN and
BCMSN in terms of coverage for switching and routing
etc?

Any more details would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: Who wants to be a CCIE... Challenge Question

[deltan]

sorry i don't see why you HAVE TO have 'ip classless'
as the networks are all full class C's (or maybe only
subnets of full class A's as they are 10.x.x.x??!!).
anyone else wants to clarify/confirm? :)

It's the DOD model (not five layers as "claimed" by

Questions from a new CCNA (repost)

[deltan]

(seems the list server lost some mail on saturday?!
anyways i am sending my mail again - my apologies if
you see it twice).
--

greetings from a newbie in this group!

i finally took my CCNA last week with a score a little
over 900.  however, i only got 40% in network
security,
which i have NO way to believe!!  i am confident in
what i was tested regarding that part, and i used to
work in network security with a tier-1 ISP plus i use
ipfw on UNIX on a daily basis (access lists are pretty
much closed-type ip fw, imho).  anyway, i am very much
curious to know what the heck i answered wrong (if the
test system had no fault)! -- is there ANY way to talk
to cisco to find out -- i'm willing to pay! :)

now questions:

1) any comments (pros/cons) on skipping CCNP and
taking
   CCIE (written) directly?  some people did that.
2) any recommended books (and courses) for CCNP and
   CCIE (written)?

being new to this group, i wanna express how i feel
here.  sad but true, i had to delete 3/4 or more of
the
postings i got from this list before i started to see
interesting stuff (i personally think 1/2 "garbage"
is OK but 3/4 is a little too much).  sorry for being
fussy! ;)

to see it more than once)

Greetings from a newbie in this group!

I finally took my CCNA last week with a score of 906.
However, I got a real low 40% in network security that
I have NO way to believe!  I answered all the related
questions with full confidence, and I know my level of
security knowledge/experience (Cisco or not) as I used
to work in network security with a tier-1 ISP, plus I
run ipfw on UNIX on a daily basis (Cisco access lists
are pretty much the same as closed-type ipfw, IMHO).

Honestly, I am very curious about what the heck was
going on with my answers and the scoring system! --
Is there ANY way to talk to Cisco or Sylvan Prometric
to find out (I'm willing to pay! :^)) ??

Also, a few questions:

1) any pros and cons on skipping CCNP and taking CCIE
   (written) directly?
2) any recommended books for CCNP and CCIE (written)?

Thanks a bunch,-deltan

overlap of CCNP and CCDP exams...

[deltan]

I noticed the foundation exam (and the three separate
ones) is the same for both CCNP and CCDP.  Can one
take this exam just once, then CIT and CID, and get
CCNP and CCDP certs?
