Re: Hybrid to Native IOS conversion [7:38859]

2002-03-20 Thread Aaron Laws

I work for the military... that should help you understand why we didn't
figure this problem out sooner...

The guy that threw this project my way forgot that we needed to upgrade our
memory before loading the c6sup11- image.  I know, its the most basic
thing to check when doing something like this, but there was a period of
about two weeks between reading the release notes and starting the
conversion... we knew we needed to do it, we just forgot.  No comments about
how dumb we are thanks. :)  It might not be all of our problems, but it is
definately a problem that will keep us from doing this conversion right away
($$$).

At least we aren't faced with RMA!!!

Thanks for all your help and comments, really appreciate it.

Aaron

RE: BSCI Passing Score [7:54990]

2002-10-18 Thread Aaron Laws
I just took and passed the BSCI test this morning.  That's a tough test. 
Passing score is a 700.  Hardest part was not knowing what to expect on it.

I studied the Routing Certification Guide and the BSCN book.  The Cert guide
might have been the best thing for the old test with all the theory
questions, but I think the BSCN was more helpful because the questions are a
lot deeper and more detailed on this new test than the Cert guide goes
into.  Plus the Cert guide has so many mistakes (typo and technical) that it
is really frustrating.  My suggestion- read both.

Unless you have a photographic memory, I don't think it is passable without
prior knowledge and hands-on experience.

IS-IS wasn't too tough, just read through some white papers on the Cisco web
site and you'll be set.  I have never used IS-IS and I did fine on that
section.

RE: extended access-list in/ out [7:58750]

2002-12-11 Thread Aaron Laws
Do you even need to specify the source port?  Why wouldn't you just do:
access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq telnet?

Which Certification? [7:61152]

2003-01-15 Thread Aaron Laws
I'll have my CCNP completed next week upon successful completion of the
Support exam.  I was planning on working the CCDA/DP track next before
eventually working towards CCIE.

I am about to separate from the Military and have been browsing through job
postings and noticing significantly more jobs looking for a combination of
CCNP and MCSE than I see for just CCNP or CCDP (or both).

I am still planning on doing CCDA/DP, but my question is this:  for the job
market we have today which is the more valuable set of certs to have,
CCNP/MCSE or CCNP/CCDP? (emphasize "today's job market" since I am still
planning on doing DA/DP down the road),

How beneficial is the MCSE towards CCIE?  I have to believe that a thorough
understanding of the front end stuff like AD, Exchange, DNS, etc is
extremely useful for complex networking/infrastructure issues.  What I hope
to hear from you is whether that knowledge and experience is "required" or
just "helpful."  Help me out, throw some opinions out here.  I appreciate
your guidance and help.

Re: Which Certification? [7:61152]

2003-01-15 Thread Aaron Laws
Thanks guys (and Priscilla),
You have hit on the head everything I have been trying to decide.  What I
enjoy doing more than anything is Network Engineering stuff.  I don't even
enjoy Server/OS stuff.  But with the market like it is, and having to
consider that I will have a 19 month old and a 3 month old when I separate
from the military (scary huh), I need to look at what is going to get me in
the door right away.  I get out in June so that doesn't give me enough time
to get my MCSE (at least not if I want to learn anything), but maybe enough
time to get MCSA and show that I am working towards MCSE.

Since my long term plans have me doing what I enjoy, I know I am going to be
pressing on with the Cisco track once I get my feet planted.  But I think it
would be smarter to go with MCSE first to get my foot in the door (and
especially if I should have it later one working on CCIE).
