CCIE switch suggestions [7:65904]
I know this question probably has been asked here before, so forgive me. I already have three routers (2x2514 and a 2509) and a Catalyst 1900 in my home lab. I want to get a switch that will help me in preparing for the CCIE. Can anyone make a suggestion on a switch that will give me the IOS features that I need while not being outrageously priced? -- Brad A.

Re: Placement of IDS [7:48420]
The easy answer to your question is It depends. Do you trust your firewall? Do you trust your internal users? The best solution would be to have an IDS on each side of your firewall. That way you could detect both external and internal threats. -- Brad A. Nixon CCNP, CCDA, MCP, CCSA Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Re: Class C summarization question [7:48367]
Dain, Just out of curiosity, who was the author of the test question? When I was studying for my CCNP I ran into several poorly written questions and others, like this one, that were just plain wrong. Also, are the people that think that 2 to the power of 4 equals 8 the same people that write to this list asking what they should study since they failed the CCNA on the first and second attempts? -- Brad A.

Does anyone have an example config of connecting a 2500 series router to a DSL modem? I thought it might be interesting to try since I have two 2514s in my lab.

Re: Connecting Windows NT RAS [7:28570]
You actually don't terminate the calls to the NT server, you need an Access Server. A T1 line can handle up to 24 calls a time. The RAS server can simply be connected to one of the LAN ports on the Access Server to authenticate the calls. Check out the Cisco AS5350. -- Brad A.

Hi Group, Assume that I have a T1 line that need to be connected to a Windows NT 4.0 server running RAS. The goal is to allow 24 simultaneous call to the server. What hardware do I need to provide this kind of connectivity? Do I need 24 serial ports on the server, each connected to an external modem? If the answer is yes, how do connect these 24 modems to the T1 line?

Re: Finished CCNP - Let me know if you'd like advice [7:24370]
Congratulations. If what you say is true, I'm in pretty good shape. I have already passed the BCRAN and BCSN. I am taking BCMSN on Thursday. I saved CIT for last since I figured it would easy to pass after I have studied all the other topics to death. Brad Brian Wilkins wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... I finished up my CCNP today, passing the BCRAN (last test). I started with switching, then routing, then support (after I did the CCNA, of course). In terms of difficulty, here are my personal ratings from easiest to most difficult: CIT (support), BCMSN (switching), BCSN (routing), BCRAN (Remote Access). Although routing and remote access are probably interchangeable on the list, because there were some questions on BCRAN that simply were not fair. There were a few questions that asked for a single answer, but more than one of the choices would have been absolutely correct with the information presented. There were also some questions that required more than one answer, but only one was actually correct. I had difficulty with the routing one, simply because of so much BGP, which I don't work with all that much. Anyway, if anyone has specific questions, please email me and I'll try to assist you if I can. Best of luck to all. P.S. Thanks to all of you who contribute to this site. I have found it to be a valuable resource in preparing for the certification.

Hi Group, I just finished the Routing 2.0 exam with a score of 850.The required score is 690.There were 61 questions. The materials used: Routing TCP/IP - Doyle (No comparisions) Internet Routing Architechture - Basam Halabi (Gives the understanding far beyond the exam lines). ACRC - Cisco Press book Cramsession PDF - Posted by some friend in group some days before (Really good-go to www.getCCNP.com ). BGP Paper from CCO - After all nobody can explain cisco things better than cisco themselves. ofcourse Boson Routing 2.0 exam 1 - Gem is the one word to describe it. And for those who are scheduled or studying for that: 1)There is a lots and lots of BGP but nothing that is not covered by the CCO BGP paper. If you understand and learn from that BGP is down ( atleast for the exam.). 2)Equal share for OSPF as well as this also had lots of questions. 3)Know how to identify different types of routes and know how to find the next hop from the route table (by weight,localpre.. etc.). 4)Eigrp had some questions mostly commands.where you will asked to type the command number from a list displayed. So, that is all buddies, 3 more to go. Ram. **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.

Re: Ethernet Trivia
I believe this is correct. The first packets will arrive at the same time, but subsequent packets on the Fast Ethernet will arrive more quickly because of the encoding. ""Kevin L.

They would bith reach the destination at the same time (speed of electricity through copper). The difference is in the rate at which the bits are placed on the wire, the Fast Ethernet would be placing 20 bits of information (actually encoded as 24 bits) on the wire for every 2 bits that the 10bT would place on the wire.
