Can anyone give compare the CCIE written to the CID 3.0 test?  Is there any
similarity at all?  Thanks!

Help! Cisco Internetworking Design test?? [7:682]

2001-04-14 Thread AndyD

Can anyone give me any advice in how to prepare for the CID test?  I've
heard nothing but horror stories on the poor quality of the test, vague
questions,  poorly worded questions, etc.  I've got Todd Laemmle's book, but
it seems pretty superficial.  I've got a Boson practice test, but it's all
over the map.  Could someone who has taken the test give me some
recommendations please?

 Thanks,

AD

CCIE Lab tools?

2001-03-24 Thread AndyD

I'm preparing for the CCIE lab.  Does anyone know if they allow any form of
notes, books, or internet access during the lab?

 Thanks!

CIT Study Guide Recommendation

2001-03-14 Thread AndyD

I've narrowed it down to Cisco Support by Amir Ranjbar or the one by Todd
Laemmle and Kevin Hales.  I was able to check out the Todd Laemmle one at
Barnes and Noble, but haven't been able to find the Amir Ranjbar one to
preview (only on Amazon.com.) It seems to have gotten better reviews...
Anyone have any recommendations?  I've heard this is the hardest of the CCNP
tests, and I'd like to get the best book possible.

Thanks!

How about CCNP's??

 The DC market rate for CCIE's is around $125. This varies with how long
you
 have been a CCIE and what else you know...

  Hi everybody,
 
  Does anybody know approximately what the average CCIE makes in the
 DC area?
  Thanks

Re: Full Duplex

2001-02-21 Thread AndyD

So on a full-duplex 100 mb ethernet link you could theoretically get 200
mbps throughput?? I have had this argument with several people before.  I
thought that 100 mb each direction being possible, if both parties transmit
at the same time but in different directions, you still have 200 mb of
throughput.  They all thought I was crazy - said you can't possibly get more
than 100 mbps out of a 100 mb link.

 Hi akshay,

 If its full duplex you will get 2Mbs of transmit bandwith  2Mbs
of
 receive traffic... In a half duplex link you will get a total of 2mbs for
 transmit and receive.

 hope the above helps,
 Santosh Koshy

  The 2Mbps link i had mentioned is a serial link (E1)  not an ethernet
 link.

   Yes. You'll get 2M Transmit  2M REceive(4M) between AB with full
 duplex.
   With half duplex transfer rate is poor, it is about 1M or less.
   You can imply full duplex only with switch, or just host to host link.
  With
   hub, you can only use half duplex , because each station must detect
   collision before transfer, full duplex doesn't detect collision(There
is
  no
   collision with full duplex).

Re: Equal cost switching

2001-02-19 Thread AndyD

Thanks for all your help.  The way I understand it now is that with multiple
vlans using different root bridges, you can have different vlans splitting
the bandwidth - some going in one direction, some in the other.  But if one
link goes down, STP will then shift all to the good link.  This gives you
some load balancing and also redundancy. It looks like you need to go to
layer 3 switching to do any load balancing other than this.  And
etherchannel is another option for aggregating bandwidth.  But someone said
with etherchannel using 4 full duplex 100 mbp ports will not give 800 mbps
of throughput?  I always thought that in theory that was the case??  Since
the data is transmitted on different wire pairs, if the sender and receiver
transmit at the same time, why isn't 800 mbps possible

Thanks again !!

 Per my other post, STP prevents looping traffic in general, not simply
broadcasts.

 Jason is right. This will defeat the purpose of Spanning Tree of creating

 single path to a destination. The primary reason this was designed was to
 prevent broadcast loops.
 
 If you want to force it to use 2 paths to one destination, use
 port-channelling which statically load-balances traffic going out of two
 ports. Statically meaning it creates a list of source-destination MAC
 address pairs and these pair will communicate from a specific port
 configured to be part of the port-channel. This is in contrary to Dynamic
 load-balancing where each packet will go out of each port of the
 port-channel.
 
 With this in mind, if 4 ports are configured for 100 Mbps full-duplex
 port-channels, this doesn't mean it provides an 800Mbps link.

  Spanning tree is supposed to choose the one best switched path.  But if
 you
  set up two equal cost paths, will it use both?  Is there a way to force
it
  to use the bandwidth from both paths?
