RE: Programming Language for Network Engingeers. [7:58032]

2002-11-25 Thread Clark, John
VB Is usually a good one to learn for a network engineer. Given that most of
the systems I work on run some form of windows, I found it to be an easy
language to learn and very useful for creating quick custom tools that the
end user may need (such as logging into all the routers and saving the
Config to a tftp server every day). Other then that just learn scripting
languages such as VBScript for windows and SH for linux/unix.

2002-11-14 Thread Clark, John
maybe.. but I too would like to know exactly how much focus the exam has on
Token Ring and bridging (srb, rsrt, rsrb) and atm.. I do not think that
violates the nda... now if you gave an example of a question - that would
probably violate the nda.

Am I the only one who gets the funny feeling that such questions violate the
NDA?

 xxx,
How about Token Ring and IPX. Is there as much emphasis on the RIF and etc
as there used to be. Also- how much VoIP and MPLS should we know.

RE: Redistribution metrics. [7:55297]

2002-10-10 Thread Clark, John

What difference does it make when I say default-metric 1 100 255 1
1550 instead of the above.

answer: EIGRP uses a composite metric so you would be changing the bandwidth
(1) and MTU (1550) for routes from ospf that were redistributed into
EIGRP. All the metric does is set a base metric to start from. Since a
redistributed route did not originate from that router then it does not have
a metric to assign to it and therefore can not run DUAL (or SPF for ospf)
hence you have to assign a metric to that route so that the route has
metrics associated with it. I hope this helps and if I was incorrect about
anything then someone else please correct me.

Hi all,

Everytime I get confused with this metrics while redistribution :

The scenario is this :

1.  Redist from OSPF to EIGRP.

router eigrp 1
redis ospf 1
default-metric 1544 100 255 1 1500

router ospf 1
redis eigrp 1 subnets
default-metric 25

What difference does it make when I say default-metric 1 100 255 1
1550 instead of the above.

Does the metrics  points to the destination interface ( metrics ) where
it is redistributed into  OR it points  where the routes are originated
from ( ethernet interface or serial int )?


Thanks,
Rajesh

RE: Cisco Netacad for 640-603 [7:52358]

2002-08-30 Thread Clark, John

I took this, and the Cisco Press CCNP BSCN Certification Study Guide. I
found that doing the 640-603 was probably the best thing I did to prepare
(other then practice labs) The interactive labs were great, and if you make
note cards of everything you feel is important while going through the
course you will pass. It had been a year between my CCNA and when I studied
for 640-603 and I had forgotten most everything, and had not touched a
router since then. This course was a great refresher and helped me pass the
exam my first time.

Hello,

Was wondering if anyone has taken the Cisco Network Academy semester-long
course (sem. 5) for 640-603 (Routing)?  If so, did you find it alone was a
good prep for the exam?

Regards,

Jason

my posts [7:51786]

2002-08-20 Thread Clark, John

Why does it usually take 30mins to 1 hour for any of my e-mails to reach the
group? is there some sort of problem with my setup (I simply email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- is there a diff e-mail I should use) or does it just
generally take that long?
