Re: Support Passed [7:44599]

2002-05-21 Thread Erwin

So Support is the first exam you took? Kinda strange because normally once
you passed Routing, Switching, and Remote Access, you start taking the
support. How did you manage the troubleshooting section of Remote Access in
Support ? =)

It was quite sometime back when I finished my CCNP, but my suggestion about
the Remote Access test is trying to understand each of the topic in the Exam
Objectives and make sure you have hands-on on them.

Good Luck

EIGRP NBMA and multicast together.. [7:44603]

2002-05-21 Thread suleman ibrahim aboo

Hi,

Can anyone please help me on this-

Its about EIGRP NBMA and multicast together..

EIGRP uses 224.0.0.10 for its hello packets.


In an NBMA environment such as Frame Relay how does this work ?

Does each FR interface need FR Multicasting enabled (I know of the 
BROADCAST cli option but not a MULTICAST one)

or does EIGRP think cleverly and actually send out Unicasts to its 
known neighbours ? If so, how does it learn of new neighbours ?

please reply to my e-mail address.

Thanks in advance

Before you start taking any actions, first use a Sniffer to see what is

Ip helper address: which is the mac address? [7:44608]

2002-05-21 Thread TP

Dear group,
When my CPE  comes up, it makes a dhcp request. The DHCP server is located on
a different subnet .Between dhcp client (CPE) and dhcp server there is a
router whit ip helper-address configured.
My question is the following: if the DHCP server has to assign a specific IP
address to a specific MAC address (CPE's MAC address) but there is a router
between them, the DCHP will read the router MAC address...how does it works?
Where  DHCP will read the correct mac address before giving the right IP
address?

Thanks in advace,
Teresa

Doyle on Lab Rats [7:44611]

2002-05-21 Thread cebuano

Excerpt from Doyle's Vol.2 page 792.
Labs also provide an area of the network where you can just play around
with the commands, testing the effect of misconfigurations and practicing
troubleshooting. The lab can be used in this way for training and CCIE
preparation. Only with a lab can you THOROUGHLY experiment with
configurations, break things to see what happens, and determine what
symptoms identify misconfigurations.

This is exactly how we are all educated in colleges and universities.
Remember the labs in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Human Anatomy...
So for those of you that have no respect for lab rats, you might need
to rethink your opinions.

Know your ISDN pretty well. Know the U-T-S-R (use tange sparingly richard)
sequence and reference points of a ISDN circuit. Bone up on a the protocols
that make up ISDN, PPP and X.25  I had only a couple of X.25 questions but
alot on ISDN, Frame and design(which router for what circumstance) I had two
questions on connecting via DUN(windows) so give it a brief look. A few
light questions on NAT and a few on AAA(basics)

The books I used were the Cisco Academy series along with the lab book for
some practice labs. The Exam Cram was terrible relative to the actual test
which was somewhat surprising given the Routing and  Switching books seemed
to be a much better match to the test material.

I used Trancenders and CCXX's study questions. Both matched well to the
exam. BTW- the current exam NOT the new one in the wings.

The DHCP server doesn't read the actually MAC address of the client PC.  The
DHCP client builds a DHCP request packet that includes the client's MAC
address.  The DHCP relay just passes that packet to the DHCP server, along
with additional information (such as what subnet the request is coming from).

Nice of you to take Jeff's words and use them out of context.  I believe
what Jeff meant is that as we are experienced network engineers pursuing
CCIE certification, we should set up a lab for practice as we cannot perform
the necessary configurations on our production networks.  The thing you
forgot to mention while taking liberities with his words is that lab rats do
not know what a production network looks like.

2002-05-21 Thread Kent Hundley

Maybe not if you keep the room temperature low enough, but your going to
need a lot of air conditioning. ;-)

Seriously, disconnecting fans will eventually cause your router, or any
computer, to fry.  Without heat dissapation, your components will eventually
just quit working and fill your house with the lovely smell of burning
circuits.

You might try buying/building some sort of enclosure, but that enclosure
will likely need a fan as well.

Re: problem with crypto access list !!! [7:44598]

2002-05-21 Thread Jim Gillen

Pat

Some comments:

1. For IPSec to work the access list at the other end for the crypto map
priority that is matched in the SA must be the mirror of yours ie.

access-list 120 permit ip 10.54.1.0 0.0.0.255
10.55.1.0 0.0.0.255

2. issue a sh crypto ipsec sa command with the access list still active and
the with the access list deleted. The output of this command will tell you if
any IPSec connections have been formed.

3. Try a debug crypto isakmp and debug crypto ipsec and apply the crypto
map to the interface and watch the debug output. Example outputs are on the
CCO...


3. Is this same access list applied to the interface you telnet to the other
router in such a way that removing it leaves a deny any any on that interface
( I assume the access list 20 you refer to is actually access list 120)?

Hope this helps.

Re: problem with crypto access list !!! [7:44607]

2002-05-21 Thread Robert Carpenter

What versions of code are you using on the routers.

 pat  05/21/02 01:32 AM 
Hello Jim, Thank you for the response. 

1) When I said access-list 20 I meant 120. This is not
applied to any interface.
I am not doing telnet through tunnel.
2) Acess-lists are mirror image but the numbers are
not same. 
One is 120 and other is 130. Does that matter ?
3) I have hub-spoke network. I am getting these
problem on Spoke routers 
which are at remote site.
Spoke 1:  misconfigured 120. Tried to change it  lost
connection.
Spoke 2: was able to establish tunnel. Wanted to
change list 120 
to include loop back interface IPs so that I can do
ping test. When I 
removed 120 I lost connection.
Spoke 3: Used debug commands. Able to kick in
tunneling process only 
through Hub router. But tunnel never established. 
Phase I  never kicked 
in when I pinged from Spoke 3 router. Appeared as
though list 120 was not working
on spoke 3. So tried to remove  reapply. I lost
connection when I removed it.
4) I am also using CBAC. But same problem appears with
no CBAC. I actually tried
Spoke 3 without CBAC. 

For me it sounds like some issue with Cisco IOS. But
not sure. Don't
know if anybody else on the group has faced same
problem.


Thanks,
Pat

Re: problem with crypto access list !!! [7:44606]

2002-05-21 Thread Brian Apley

Did you mean access-list 120, as opposed to access-list 20? If you have a
crypto map applied to an interface, and remove the ACL associated with the
crypto map, you get the same results as if you deleted an interface-applied
ACL without removing the application- IOS assumes the null ACL is a deny any
(or encrypt everything), and you will stone up traffic on that interface.

Good real-world lesson- it won't matter in the lab because (I assume)
everything is direct console access- but if you're accessing a customer
router in-band from its outside interface, remove the crypto map from the
interface if you're modifying tunnels, otherwise you'll be calling him/her
to reboot it :-)

RE: Doyle on Lab Rats [7:44611]

2002-05-21 Thread Moffett, Ryan

I think that everyone agrees that in order to pass the CCIE lab, you have to
spend a decent amount of time in a lab playing with scenarios and
technologies you might otherwise have never experienced in a real life
network, or experienced it so long ago that you don't have any where else to
test and learn it.   No matter who you are, you are going to have to get
some of your experience for the CCIE lab in a lab on your own, not a
production network.   Perhaps some people do get all of their experience in
a production network..or several production networks and I am not going to
dispute that, but it is certainly the exception, not the rule.   

I think the problem here is with people who get all of their experience in
a lab network.   Today, it is possible to pass the CCIE written and lab with
little to no real world experience and that is not what the CCIE is about.
I can hardly fault someone who has the time, money and desire to sit down
and attempt the CCIE without much real world experience because I am seeing
more and more employers looking for entry to mid-level network engineers
with CCIE's required or highly desired.   I don't think that was the
original intent of the CCIE either.   

The CISSP already does, or is going to require that you send your resume in
with your application to be a CISSP.   In fact, they audit them to make
sure that people aren't lying on their applications.   I don't claim to know
all the details of the CISSP certification process, but what would something
like this do for the CCIE program?  It appears to keep the CISSP relavent.
Does it really?

I posted this message in response to a lot of rap, crap, xyz-rap, etc. that
individuals who devote their time, effort and money towards advancing
their knowledge and skill (and hopefully career) by building their own home
lab because this is the ONLY way they can get experience are getting.
When are we going to stop shoving this chicken-and-egg syndrome down
their throat? Everybody has to start somewhere.
Hell, do you think med school students start their career in medicine by
working in a production clinic? The only time they get to that level is
after years of learning the ins/outs involved in clinical practice IN A
LAB environment.
Nothing personal, but I just wanted to encourage lab rats who've been
discriminated against and wrongfully labeled by people who feel insecure
with their career.

Hope that clears things up.

RE: Securing SNMP [7:44605]

2002-05-21 Thread Kent Hundley

Check out the SNMP section in this doc:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/cs003.htm

Additionally to the above suggestions, I would add:

-Do not allow SNMP write capability, you almost never need it

-Choose a _strong_ SNMP RO community.  It should contain special characters
such as #,$,@,,^, etc.  It's usually useful to pick a phrase that you can
remember, such as all engineers choose good passwords, pick the first
letter or letters from each word: all e c g p and then selectively
substitute special chars for certain alpha chars: @ll $ c g ) for example.
DO NOT pick things like company name, organization name, sports team
mascots, pets names, etc.  In general, treat the SNMP community string with
the same care you would want the administrator of your payroll server to use
for their password. (and assume if the payroll gets compromised, you don't
get paid)

-Consider using SNMPv3 so that you can use encryption.  Alternatively, setup
an IPSec tunnel between the monitoring stations and the routers for securing
SNMP based communications.

HTH,
Kent

Now that Coriolis is kaput, does anyone have the errata for Exam Prep books

if any were available, but apparently Coriolis was using a dynamic page on

I'm not sure that they ever made errata files available to the public(at
least none of any substance).  And I have good reason to believe that, like
all publishers, they ignored the feedback that they begged for.  After a few
automated we'll be in touch responses, I gave up on them.  Only ever read
one book (routing) and it was pretty bad.  Only good for very final review
so you won't be misled.

I'm a big fan of most Cisco Press books.  However, they totally ignore
feedback and I know of times where folks have pointed out clear errata only
to see the book go through several more printings with the same errrors.  I
read both CCNP libraries and found all but one of the books in them to be
anywhere from satisfactory to great.  Stay away from the routing book in the
Cert Library (as opposed to the Prep Library) - at least until you know the
material well enough to spot where the author or the editors didn't know the

In any case, I recommend one or both libraries.  They can be found
reasonably priced at bookpool and several others I have seen metioned here.

Your comments are false and you sound very ignorant.
I work with guys who have 20 years experience and to trouble shoot a problem
take months. This is because they don't know how the protocols work. How
much money can a company afford to lose when production is downloading for a
considerable amount of time? That's why as a mangersÂ’ we send Engineers on
training to learn about new and merging technologies. And thatÂ’s before you
can put or do any upgrades to the production network you must first try it

2002-05-21 Thread Logan, Harold

Most of the Sybex books I've read have been too dummied down to be of any
use by themselves, but Todd Lammle's writing style is easy enough to
understand that you can take a technology you know nothing about, read a
couple pages, then have a handle on the basics of it. From there it's easier
(for me at least) to cross reference with a more detailed book without
getting mired down in the jargon. The ciscopress books worked nicely for me
along those lines, as the old ciscopress ccnp books read like stereo
instructions.

For the IGP's on the routing exam, you may want to check out Solie's CCIE
Practical Studies book. It goes into more detail than you need to for the NP
exams, but everything is demonstrated in lab walk-thru exercises that you
can set up with a few routers. I haven't checked out the ciscopress books
for any of the NP exams (I took mostly the older versions) but you may want
to pick that up, as Solie's book doesn't cover BGP.

You will solve this problem if you first remove the crypto map xxx in the

access-list or change configuration in the crypto map,etc. When you finish
the reconfiguration, you put again the crypto map in the correct
interface.

 Some comments:

 1. For IPSec to work the access list at the other end for the crypto map
 priority that is matched in the SA must be the mirror of yours ie.

 access-list 120 permit ip 10.54.1.0 0.0.0.255
 10.55.1.0 0.0.0.255

 2. issue a sh crypto ipsec sa command with the access list still active
and
 the with the access list deleted. The output of this command will tell you
if
 any IPSec connections have been formed.

 3. Try a debug crypto isakmp and debug crypto ipsec and apply the
crypto
 map to the interface and watch the debug output. Example outputs are on
the
 CCO...


 3. Is this same access list applied to the interface you telnet to the
other
 router in such a way that removing it leaves a deny any any on that
interface
 ( I assume the access list 20 you refer to is actually access list 120)?

 Hope this helps.

Re: Bridge and switch [7:44649]

2002-05-21 Thread John Neiberger

Marketing!  A switch is simply a multiport bridge.  Bridges originally
had very few ports, as few as two.  When hardware became faster and
manufacturers started adding more ports to their bridges they started
calling them switches to differentiate them from their slower brethren
with fewer ports.

Re: Bridge and switch [7:44649]

A switch is a multiport bridge.  Think of a bridge that bridges together
2 networks  (i.e. has two interfaces, one in each network).  Then
supposed you upgrade to a 3 port bridge, that can connect 3 networks.
keep adding ports up to 4, 8, 12, 24, or even 48 and that's a switch.
The switch operates pretty much like a bridge where it watches the source
MAC addresses in frames, builds a table of MAC addresses and corresponding
ports (the CAM table), and forwards broadcasts or traffic destined for a MAC
address not in it's CAM table out all ports (except the one it received the
frame on)

Cisco certification is under 10 years old.

The Internet and its predecessors worked before Cisco certification

Some people with 20 years experience, therefore, MUST be very 
knowledgeable on protocols.  Other people with 20 years experience 
are not.

This is because they don't know how the protocols work. How
much money can a company afford to lose when production is downloading for a
considerable amount of time? That's why as a mangersm we send Engineers on
training to learn about new and merging technologies. And thatms before you
can put or do any upgrades to the production network you must first try it
out in the lab.

Switching is a marketing term.  You would be wise to focus on Bridging and 
Routing and when the word switch appears, read to fine print to figure out 
if the device in question bridges or routes.

RE: Earth and grounding for CISCO products [7:44558]

2002-05-21 Thread Frank H

If you want a quick test to see if the earth is good or not, your voltmeter
will do (on AC mode). Just stick one lead into the live socket and the other
into the ground socket. If it reads the same as when measured between live
and neutral, then your ground is good. Alternatively, if you measure more
than a few volts between the ground and neutral, then the ground is not good.

Here's another test you can try that gives you a little more confidence in
determining if you have a good ground. If your voltmeter contains an ohmeter
(most multimeters do), then try measuring the resistance between the
questionable ground and another known good ground (found at another location
- preferably a circuit breaker panel on bare steel). If the resistance is
only a few ohms ( 10 ohms from the long meter test lead resistances), then
your ground is probably good. Before you do this test, check the voltage
first, so you don't damage your meter. To get the extra meter lead distance
required to measure between these distant points, you can use an extension
cord.

RE: Bridge and switch [7:44649]

2002-05-21 Thread Moffett, Ryan

John and Mike are both right.   As a matter of fact, there are several
definitions.   In my opinion, the whole topic is adequately described in
Interconnections, by Radia Perlman.   Her take (in a nutshell) is that they
are technically one in the same and that the difference is marketing
terminology.   Ethernet switches are essentially multi-port transparent
bridges (but what bridge isn't 2 ports or more?).   A Ethernet switch or
bridge with only 2 ports could be called a switch or bridge depending on
which one is a better market term.   As time has evolved, new functionality
has been introduced into Ethernet switches, but at their base functionality,
it's all pretty much the same.

I thought the experience versus certification debate had finally died a

well weigh in.

The problem here is clear.  Some folks with lots of experience are scared
(or merely offended) that some manager or client might think some relative
newbie with great-sounding certs is as good or better (or even nearly as
good) as the more experienced folks.  Many of these experienced people
gained their experience in difficult or underpaid conditions.  The last

 This is because they don't know how the protocols work. How

DHCP NACK problems [7:44671]

2002-05-21 Thread Doug Korell

This may or may not be a Cisco issue but I am running DHCP on a NT 4.0
server and it's been giving Nacks for the past 5 days and is causing a major
headache. Every Nack has been coming from the same subnet as the DHCP server
which seems even more strange. I've watched the packets being broadcasted
with a sniffer and I can see the client requesting, the server replying with
all the DHCP information, the client request again, and the server then
giving a nack.

If I get an IP from a VLAN or token ring subnet, I don't have any problems.
I've been trying to find a rogue DHCP server but there doesn't seem to be
one. I don't think it's any of the routers because they don't need to cross
them to get to the DHCP server (except VLAN and token ring which don't seem
to have problems).

Has anyone had similar problems and if so, did you come across a solution?
We're starting to think the DHCP database might be corrupted and ready to
blow it away (ack!)

Operation Firmware is invalid? Please help...Urgent [7:44673]

2002-05-21 Thread Justin M. Clark

Cisco ws-c1900 switch.  Using db9F-rollover-db9F or null modem cable I can
connect to the console port and get into Diag Console fine, but when I try
to just plug in and configure the switch it just starts spitting out
ATQ0H0 in hyperterminal PE.  I hunted around and a couple places that I
found said try updating the firmware.  So I hit cisco's site and downloaded
cat1900A.9.00.04.bin which was the only 1900 firmware I could find,  The
previous version was 5.34.  So anyway, I did the XModem firmware upgrade, as
soon as it asks me to send the file it kicks back an error that says
Transfer cancelled by remote system (convenietly after it has erased
existing firmware) and then prints out:
Operation firmware version:  0.00Status: Invalid
Boot firmware version:  1.10
WARNING!!! Operation Firmware is invalid.
Upgrade firmware to enable switch operation.

Im stuck at this point, does anyone know what to do or how to get a copy of
the firmware that works on this switch?  and then at that point what kind of
cables, etc do i need to configure the darn thing.

If anyone can get back to me in a hurry or has a version of the firmware
that DOES work on this model it would be greatly apprecieated as this switch
is dead in the water, along with the LAN that is suppost to be connected to
it.

Thanks,
Justin

RE: Logic and Lab Rats [7:44653]

2002-05-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Last but certainly not least, how many mainframe guys know IP networking.
You provide
me a list?Answer is very few. 

Not where I work. 
I know and have worked with quite a few mainframe guys (and at least one
extremely knowledgeable mainframe gal - although I'm not sure she'd
appreciate the term) who are also quite comfortable with IP (i.e. to CCNP
level at least, although they don't all have the certs).  ALL of the
mainframe comms people I work with, and probably all of the mainframe OS 
people as well, have at least a basic understanding of IP networking. 
After all, these days mainframes run IP.  The mainframe world hasn't stood
still over the last twenty years, any more than the IP world, and anyone
with ten year old mainframe experience is likely to be lost in a current
mainframe environment.

I'd be quite happy about somebody with twenty years network experience - 
or 3 months, for that matter - applying a network change without first lab
testing - *in certain circumstances*.  I have done it myself several
times, because in those particular situations, testing in a lab 
environment wasn't feasible and wouldn't have picked up the most likely 
problems anyway. 

What I *wouldn't* be happy about would be somebody (of any experience 
level) doing so if they hadn't had their plans and design well checked, 
hadn't weighed up the risks, couldn't say what their post-install checks 
would be, what their monitoring plans were, and what their contingency 
plans were.

In my opinion common sense beats both certs and experience hands down, and
fortunately none of them are mutually exclusive.  Pity common sense isn't
easily tested for (and anyway, even the most sensible people tend to have
what the hell did I do that for episodes occasionally).

Re: Bridge and switch [7:44649]

2002-05-21 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

And it's worth mentioning a couple other things too, just to confuse 
matters. ;-)

Although a switch behaves like a multiport bridge, it is often placed in a 
topology where a hub used to go. Because a switch has so many ports, people 
use them to connect individual stations. Bridges were rarely used that way. 
Bridges connect networks.

A switch can forward multiple frames at once, whereas many bridges 
couldn't. Due to the advanced switching fabric (to use another marketing 
term), a switch can forward a frame from port 1 to port 2 while at the same 
time forwarding a frame form port 3 to port 4, for example. Switch design 
is much more complex than bridge design. Bridges (and first generation 
switches) had a shared bus and very few bells and whistles. Modern switches 
use technologies such as

ASICs
shared memory
crosspoint (crossbar) architectures
star-wired architectures
methods to eliminate head of the line blocking
virtual output queuing
etc.

You get the idea.

Priscilla

No, I think the discriminator is 15 ports. Just KIDDING! Seriously,

there probably were a few vendors that had bridges with a few more ports.

Most bridges were hardware based. Well, there was that irksome bridge 
software for the IBM PC that turned it into a source-routing bridge. Throw 
two NICs into an old PC, run that software, and you could extend your 
network. Caused all sorts of problems if the PC was underpowered. ;-)

Switches have more sophisticated hardware and numerous ports. That's really 
about all you can say (other than the it's marketing answer and my more

Re: Logic and Lab Rats [7:44653]

2002-05-21 Thread nrf

Amen to that.  Humility is called for on both sides.

Apparently I've been tagged around here as the 'King Experience' guy.   The
very ironic thing is that on another message board, I was the person who was
arguing that experience was NOT as important as other posters had indicated
(this was an experience vs. college degree argument).  Basically it boiled
down to the fact that while experience is indeed extremely valuable,
particularly nowadays, even experience can sometimes be taken too far.  For
example, one guy said that experience always wins no matter what (which is
patently false), so I gave him the example of 2 guys, whereas both guys had
good experience, but the first guy had stellar degrees from the most famous
schools, all kinds of certs, a killer personality, and everything else,
whereas the second guy had none of that (besides the experience ), but he
had a day's more experience.  Hey, if experience really beat everything all
the time, then companies should always pick the second guy, because after
all, he had more experience (one additional day).   Clearly this is false.

My point is simply this.  Experience, education, certs, work attitude, etc.
etc., they all form your suite of qualifications.  None of them should be
pursued at the exclusion of all others.  In fact, the best strategy seems to
be to work on your weaknesses.  For example, if you have lots of certs and
education, but no experience, then get experience.  Conversely, if you have
lots of experience, but no certs and no education, then go get certs and
education.

  considerable amount of time? That's why as a mangersm we send Engineers
 on
  training to learn about new and merging technologies. And thatms before
 you
  can put or do any upgrades to the production network you must first try
 it
  out in the lab.

Re: Console Kit for 1924 [7:44619]

2002-05-21 Thread Michael L. Williams

Are you sure it's not DB9 to DB9 rolled?   We have some of these older 1900s
around, and we simply take the standard Cisco console (rolled) cable and
stick a RJ-45 to DB9 connector on (similar to the one used to connect the
cable to the laptop).

 Man- I had one of these a few years ago and if I'm not mistaken it's a
 DB9 female to DB9 female Null.

 All the best !!!

 Subject: Console Kit for 1924 [7:44619]

 I have an older Cisco Cat 1924 switch with a db9 console port on it.
 Does
 anyone know where I can buy barter or steal a set of cables to get me
 into
 the thing, I have tried every combination of cable I currently have but
 they
 are apparently all the wrong pin-outs.

 Thanks,
 Justin

 Do you remember Mainframe systems??? Do you remember LU and PU and logic
 controllers?? Do they all work the same as IP networks or VOIP and IP
 telephony networks?
 Do you know all the traffic in your data network??? You seem to be bitter
 about something. Do you want someone with 20 years experience Appling a
 network change without testing out first in a lab environment???

But look at it the other way.  Do you want some new guy fresh off the street
(or fresh off his cert) but who has no experience fiddling around on a
mission-critical part of your network? I didn't think so.


  Last but
 certainly not least, how many mainframe guys know IP networking. You
provide
 me a list.Answer is very few. Many PBX or Telecomm Engineer knows VOIP or
IP
 Telephony??  Answer is very few. Giving me dates when things start is like
 tell me that we still need to go print a circuit board for two days and
use
 tubes, diodes, and transistors, instead a sing microprocessor.

On the other hand, who's more likely to show up to work late?  Or show up
drunk or high?  Or get into a fight with his coworkers?  Or surf porn in
front of female coworkers?   The guy who's been in the working world for 25
years or a new kid?

Experience is not just about knowing which command does what.  It's also
about general work attitudes and maturity.


 Finally, There are many people with 20 years of experience who feel that
 they don't need to learn new technologies and therefore still trying fight
 progress.

There are also a whole lot of new guys who feel they don't need to learn new
technologies too.  They get their nice shiny CCxx or whatever and they feel
that they that's the end of the road.

Pride and ignorance exist in both camps.   But pride and ignorance generally
exists less with the experienced guys because of the laws of evolution.
If you were always proud and ignorant and you felt you never had to learn
new things, chances are you wouldn't have survived for very long in the
industry anyway, so how exactly did you manage to rack up all that
experience? That's not to say that there are no experienced guys who are
proud and ignorant, but it's just less likely.


We do not know every thing out there but at least we can try to be
 knowledge as possible.

  You need to be more appreciative of people who want to be the best. Be
 weather it be CCIE or Cissp. They have to study just like any other
 professional. If my doctor doesn't put in at least 100 hours of training
and
 giving me a diagnostic, I will sue his pants off.

Aw come on now.  You might have a young doc fresh out of med school who's
just been studying 100 hours a week.  On the other hand, you might have an
old-doc who's still studying.working for 100 hours a week.  So who's likely
to be the better doc?  Or, let me put it to you more bluntly - if you need
life-saving surgery, who do you want operating on you - the guy straight out
of med school or the guy who's been around for decades?  Exactly.


 Stop being an idiot

Umm, off-topic, but enlighten me, please.  Why is it worse to surf porn in 
front of female coworkers than it is to surf porn in front of male 
coworkers?

What if it was a woman surfing porn in front of coworkers?  Do your 
opinions change?  ;-)

 Yes. (And if you were asking Howard, the answer is emphatically YES ;-)

HeHe! Heck I was doing some file transfer troubleshooting on a Mainframe
towards the end of last year, I got elected because I knew the switches,
routers, lan/wan protocols, sniffers, nethealth, openview and somehow I
recalled some of the MVS things I did 15 years ago. The mainframe people on
both sides of the circuit were blaming it on the network, and our main MVS
guy was going on vacation for a couple of weeks. I was able to prove that it
was an MVS application problem.

The main point here is that there is a heck of a lot more to think about
when running a network than to worry about what the cisco equipment is
doing.




 Do you remember LU and PU and logic
 controllers??

 Yes.

 Do they all work the same as IP networks or VOIP and IP
 telephony networks?

 Yes, pretty much. Networking 30, 20, 10 years ago dealt with the same
stuff
 we're still dealing with today:

 layers
 cables
 wireless (not as much as there is now, but definitely some)
 circuits (both virtual and real)
 connectionless versus connection-oriented
 reliability versus low overhead
 connection establishment and teardown
 flow control
 windowing
 packetization
 signaling
 error detection
 error correction
 ACKs and NACKs and WAKs (WAKs kind of fell out of favor)
 dynamic and static addressing
 dynamic and static routing
 pesky users
 security (although the old-timers should have done better with this ;-)
 network management
 transferring files and other data
 database lookups

 You get the picture.

So Pricilla are you saying that there are more than 7 layers in the protocol
stack?
