Security: Firewalls setup
Hi all, I was brought in a meeting which I am over my head (typical me). The scenario goes like this: (there is actually two similar setup that needs to be done and one of them will have the PIX mentioned and the other setup has nothing yet) Web clients (through cable modem) want to access an AS400 behind a firewall (PIX 506 v5.1). We would like them to authenticate as securely as possible. We do not have a Tacacs+/Radius authentication server or any as a matter of fact, yet. Any comments welcome (reference to a book also welcome). I have no experience with firewalling so bare with me and be descriptive. This is just a discussion. I will not be implementing any design myself but I would like to have a few ideas on how to come about to do this the "cheapest" way possible. This is for a College and we are already over budget (as usual).

Novell 5 DNS or 3500xl problem??
I am starting to get in on the internetworking portion of the network. We have 4 3500xl stacked through GBIC running 6 vlans (2 on same switches) and routing between all of them. We have a Vlan for the Servers and the rest to different labs. We are running Novell Primary DNS and Win2000 Secondary DNS. We are also connected to the outside to another DNS. The switch is config with ip name-server (outside DNS). Do not know if that matters. 1) When we use primary only the win98 clients goes and grab the Novell DNS, no problem and I can access the internal web server and go outside to access our other web server. 2) When we config a primary DNS and a secondary it cannot go and get the outside web server. My question is: What is a way to make sure that my WIN98 machine use our primary DNS and then our Secondary if the primary fails without trying to go outside our network? Is a Novell at the Novell DNS that I am missing something? Is this a switch config issue? This is my first go at the internetwork so I do not have any config to provide. This is only my second day and I am trying to come up with something to start troubleshooting this issue. Thanks!

Re: Repeated Questions
Same thing happen to me. I was thinking at the moment (about 2 months ago) that I got the answer wrong the first time around. I double checked and I was right (it was a very straight forward question) the first time. It is always scary when you get a repeated question or similar scenario. I remember when I wrote Novell's exams that they come back with the same subject if you did not answer it properly the first time around. Not the same question but at least the same are of a particular subject. Just my 2 bits...

Re: CCIE Written Passed
Congrats Chuck, This is your time for a little rest before the "big one". I have been on this list for about four months and realized that the help I am getting is invaluable. The best advise from the list so far is surely the reference to Jeff Doyle's BIBLE I have been procrastinating on the OSPF (chapter 9) for at least a 1 1/2 week so far. OSPF is so well written, covered, explained, broken down, configured etc... that I cannot wait to take in the rest of the book (I started with chapter 9) My library consist of over 100 books (not only Cisco) and this is by far the most comprehensible book that I ran across for the subjects covered (wish BGP was covered). I know it has been said a thousand time but if you do not have that book the you don't have a complete routing library! Way to go again Chuck and I like your comments!

Miss me while I was gone? :- I am quite pleased and very proud to announce that I passed my CCIE written this morning. I won't bore you with my score, let alone the number of questions on the test and the passing score. This sort of thing information is available elsewhere. My own score is irrelevant, except to say that it wasn't even close. ;- All in all, this was a very good test, in my opinion. There were a couple of questions that might be considered ambiguous. There was certainly a bit of whimsy to be found. I nearly broke out laughing at a couple of the totally discongrous things I saw. I have to wonder how many test takers even realize the humor that is to be found in a couple of places? :- In terms of preparation, let me state that in my experience, there is NO substitute for Jeff Doyle's TCP/IP Routing, nor Bassam Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures. I also used the CCIE Exam Cram book, with good effect. Heresy as it is to suggest this, I believe that in terms of pure test preparation, that with regards to Radia Perlman's Interconnections, one might find better ways to spend one's time. ( this is NOT to say there is no value to be found, NOR is it to say that one should NOT read the book. It is only to say that in terms of pure preparation for the CCIE written as I saw it, there are better sources available ) I also took advantage of a number of study materials freely available from CCO, CCPrep, and our own groupstudy web site. The latter two sites have some token ring / RIF information that was invaluable. I also spent a LOT of time with the materials one can obtain by subscribing to Certification Zone ( disclosure - I have been compensated for services rendered to Certification Zone ) If I were to tabulate, I would say that the plurality of questions involved OSPF and bridging of various kinds. There was far less BGP than I would have expected, given what the Blueprint describes. In terms of a couple of areas, such as router operation, protocol behavior fundamentals, and so on, that Exam Cram proved to be quite useful. One might consider investing in this one even at the CCNA level, and growing into it. Also, when you read my signature, your will understand that I am embarrassed to report that my worst score by far fell under the category of security Lastly, I wanted to mention that I saw several questions on my test that I have also seen posed here on Groupstudy - almost word for word, and right down to some very accurate representations of the diagrams. Some of you bad boys and girls have been violating the NDA. Shame on you ;- I am aware that Nigel, Bernard, and the other Chuck will be taking their written's over the next couple of days. It is definitely looking like the class of 2001 is shaping up quite well. Hey, guys, I look forward to seeing your announcements of your own success Monday and Tuesday. There is no doubt in my mind. If I can do it, you certainly can. Just don't outsmart yourselves. Always THINK! :- I kinda look at it this way. I began the climb to Everest at the shoreline of India. CCNA/CCDA = Delhi. CCNP/CCDP = Katmandu. CCIE Written = Base Camp 18,000 feet. The rest of the climb looks real steep, real tough. But I can look back along my route and see that I have come a long way. And like the Little Engine of lore, I Think I Can! There are too many of you who are entitled to and deserving of my thanks for your advice, your wisdom, your good humor, your knowledge.

Need some guidance on OSPF Stub area, inverse mask and loopback
Please could anyone confirm these statements: 1) No AS External LSA (type 5) originate from a stub area 2) No ASBR Summary LSA (type 4) originate from router if not an ABR router (internal router) 3) In the network statement you would use: router ospf 1 network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 10 area 10 stub OSPF would run on all active interface (unless "passive-interface" command used on some interface) Would you still use a loopback address? interface loopback0 ip address 192.168.10.1 router ospf 1 network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 10 area 10 stub Wouldn't your "network statement" advertise (more LSA's) your loopback since it "fit" inside the all host address? Let's say you have 15 routers inside the stub network (this is a possibility, right?) would this produce unnecessary LSA's by advertising the loopbacks? Isn't the purpose of a stub area is to limit LSA? Or would you rewrite your network statement more restrictive: interface loopback0 ip address 192.168.10.1 router ospf 1 network 192.168.100.1 0.0.63.255 area 10 (100+ allowed to be advertised) area 10 stub Am I understanding the concepts properly about the advertisement? Is my wildcard ok in my last network statement? This is how I figure the inverse mask: In short: 192.168. 0110 0100.1 (for readability only use third octet) . 0011 .

Final review of BSCN Thomas II book
Rating: 4 on a scale of 1-10 If you haven't gone through the archives to see my first few comments then I will recapitulate. What I did not like: 1) Too many errors (typo, figures, wrong answers,) 2) No flow and standard in the writing. Example: If there is a command review at the end of a chapter, the reader (me anyway) expect that there will be command reviews in the following chapters 3) Lack of explanation and information in all the tables and diagrams 4) Very confusing presentation of the commands. No flow again and no order 5) Intros only to OSPF, BGP and EIGRP. Not enough info and not very well ordered. 6) Lacks: RIP, RIPv2 ,IS-IS (at least basic stuff) What I liked: 1) Fairly good review of the Ip addressing scheme; Classes, Sub/supernetting, CIDR, IP Unumbered, Classless Classful, VLSM etc... tricks stuff for beginners (chapt 4) 2) Very good intros to OSPF, BGP, EIGRP and good definition of terms 3) Very good description of the output of different SHOW commands, OSPF especially Overall this book lacks depth and I do not feel that this book will help you with your BSCN exam very much, unless you are looking for an intro to routing protocol and you want to add a book to your library. I wouldn't recommend this book for anything else. Not worth $101.95 cdn I am not recommending this book for the BSCN but rather a few other books. A MUST is Mr Doyle's ROUTING TCP/IP which covers OSPF, RIP, RIPv2, EIGRP and IS-IS. There is a second edition of INTERNET ROUTING ARCHITECTURE by Mr Halabi, which covers BGP inside and out. With those two books (which you will need anyway for your CCIE library) you will be able to understand about routing protocols. Just a man's point of view ! Any comment are welcome!

Re: BSCN/Routing 2.0: Here's the Gouge...
Thanks a lot Jennifer and congratulation.

I'm debriefing myself within hours of passing this test (my first CCNP test), so the information I share is fresh in my head. I hope it helps some folks out there. The Breakdown: 61 questions, 75 minutes, need 690 (on a scale of 300-100) to pass. It took me 1 hour, and I'm a slow test taker. Section Analysis: Routing Principles (not so many questions) Extending IP Addresses (not so many questions) Configuring OSPF in a Single Area (tons of questions) Interconnecting Multiple OSPF Areas (alot of questions) Configuring EIGRP (not so many questions) Configuring Basic Border Gateway Protocol (tons of questions) Implementing BGP in Scalable Networks (not so many questions) Optimizing Routing Update Operation (a few questions) Implementing Scalability Features in Your Internetwork (a few questions) Types of Questions: 1) Theory, and lots of it, where you have to pick the best 2 or 3 of the bunch 2) Here's the config, and what does it mean, what does it do 3) Which config. accomplishes the following xxx 4) What command do you use to do xxx, and you select from a huge list in the exhibit; know if you're in global mode, interface mode, etc. 5) Drag drop "matching" style 6) Summarization related 7) Apply the theory you know to some situation, such as interpreting show command outputs Key Concepts to Study (theory and implementation): Distance Vector/Link State, How BGP/OSPF/EIGRP work (e.g., updates, hellos, opens), ip helpers, OSPF LSAs, Summarizing, BGP route selection criteria, route reflector, next hop, prefix list, policy routing, redistribution (for BGP/OSPF/EIGRP), basic show commands Resources: 1. If you have the BSCN course material, that's great. Or buy Cisco Press BSCN book when it comes out. These are bread and butter for the test and keep you focused on what you need to know for the test, rather than having to dig around multiple sources (I hate that). 2. Supplemental resources to further explain things that you don't fully understand from the above are Doyle's TCP/IP Cisco Press book, ACRC Cisco Press book, Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures Cisco Press book, and Thomas's OSPF Cisco Press book (to view the show command screen outputs). I basically used these for reference, not for reading cover to cover. Practice Tests (do after you think you're done studying for the test): 1. Boson (I bought test 3, which has some lu lu's on there, especially quiz D. Each of 4 quizzes in test 3 had 51 questions, so test 3 had 204 total questions. Some questions stressed the same stuff over and over, but that's ok so I can retain and take each quiz just once. Test 1, 2, or 3 can be downloaded for about $30 each from http://www.boson.com/) 2. Free CCO/Colt (strange wording that will deflate your confidence if you use that as a basis for your understanding, plus they don't give you the answers; they just tell you which questions you answered wrong) http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/front.x/wwtraining/colt/ColtLogin.pl Misc. Tips: There is no such thing as too much studying! The questions really make you think and apply what you learned; very few questions are simply recalling things by rote (those of course, are the easy ones).

Re: BSCN
If you go back a few days (starting Saturday morning) I have made a few comments on the same book. So far, on my first read, it doesn't rate very high. As far as a study guide for the BSCN exam I would not count on it. I know I will be using Internet Routing Architecture by Halabi (Second Edition) for BGP and at least Jeff Doyle's "bible" on TCP/IP for OSPF I am half way through chapter 8 (bgp) and it is good for an intro to bgp. I did like the "intro" to OSPF also from chapter 5 and 6. But this is all I will call it "an intro". It lacks way too much "flow" and there is not nearly enough diagram/example of real configuration. However ther is a very good description of the output of the "show commands" for OSPF. Just a man's point of view!

Continuing on Book review: BSCN Thomas II and company.
Well, I do not know if you guys read my first comments on the books but I was not too thrilled about these first few chapters. Chapt 2 and 3 are not very strong on presentation and content. Check archives for earlier comments To add to comments about chapt 3: There is a Command review on IGRP on page 80 which is good but somewhat not very well explained with the context of the chapter Left me perplexed anyway! Chapter 4 is a IPv4 review: subnetting, CIDR, ip helper address, ip unnumbered etc This chapter is well presented, so worth reading, but what I don't really understand is why the authors assume that you know what the exact syntax of a command "replacements" are? Let me explain with an example: Routerc(config)# ip unnumbered donor interface id Seems pretty straight forward. But what I like is that it should be reinforced with perhaps a diagram with proper interface naming and complete with a concrete example. I call it a sample configuration!!! Chapt 5 and 6: Very good intro to OSPF follow by very good descriptions of output commands. Now we are talking Mr. Thomas. Of course I have to comment on the commands that have the "syntax description" only rather than a real sample configuration. These are STUDY GUIDES. I am learning the stuff so please do not "assume" that I know it because I sure don't. I expected a list of commands as per page 80 at end of chapter 3, but NO. What happen to standard writing between chapters? Doesn't this make it a better flow and answers readers expectation? Any comments are welcome.

Hey guys, For the most part I've been lurking on this list, but I thought I'd thank everyone for all the good input and conversation that goes on here, and to give anyone who hasn't taken the test yet an idea of what it's like. I scored an 846, 699 is passing, I found the test to be fairly easy and I probably would've scored higher if I had taken my time on it, I was ready to get it over with and pretty much flew through the test. Here's a general breakdown of what I encountered: - A healthy dose of "select the best switch for..." questions, with tiny scenarios and a choice of switches that would best suit the application. - Some general switch management stuff, like setting a switch's IP address, port duplex, etc. - Lots of trunking questions; rules for encapsulation and negotiation, problems that can occur with trunks, etc. - VTP modes, know these fairly well. - Spanning tree port states and timers, as well as spanning tree optimization such as PortFast and UplinkFast, root bridge selection, etc. - Some general MLS stuff, nothing too difficult, mostly multiple-choice commands. - Very little multicast stuff. Nature of multicasts, IP-MAC address translation, CGMP, very little PIM. - Know the rules that apply when connecting switches: port speeds, link lights, etc. - No HSRP questions at all. - No LANE/ATM. Anyway, I hope whoever is planning on taking the test in the near future finds this helpful. Thanks again for some of the good information I've garnered from this list. Now on to BCRAN I suppose.

Re: BCMSN - Passed
Congrats! I feel books are a lot more complete than what you can learn with an elearning course. It is only part of what you need to learn. It is in effect ONE tool. Keeping also in mind that ONE book is never enough to learn. It is however sometimes enough to pass an exam but who on this list just want to "pass" an exam. We are here to know the stuff. CCO is in my opinion the best reference out there. It beats books. The drawback is that it provides tons and tons of information and you have to choose what you should read. But all the information is in there somewhere. There are also some good self test that can help you gage and I stress the word GAGE your knowledge in an area. It will help you know if you understand the subject as well as you think you understand it. And like me you are limited while you are studying with the hands-on. Virtual labs are a good tool, if you have the $ to practice. When I first started my Cisco cert. I did not know that it was possible to practice on the internet some of the stuff you learn in the books. I bought a couple of PC Bus cards to be able to practice my routing. It is definitely not enough but that is all I could afford. This list is also a good learning tool. Read, read, and read some more. Try to solve some of these problems that are presented on this list. It is amazing how you can learn. My point is: try to use all the resources available out there. It would be nice to have the LAB but you can learn to a certain level without the expansive lab at home. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Passed Switching 2.0
Thanks to the group for their input. I am learning a lot from just reading different threads. There was a few surprises on the exam: SPAN which their is no mention in Karen Webb's Cisco Press book isbn 1-57870-093-0 or on any of the emails I have read regarding the BCMSN outlines. Troubleshooting software packages which I have not seen anywhere either. Apart from these two subjects (about 5 questions) I would say that the book is dead on. Know like the back of your hand: Trunking, STP, commands (there was two questions where you typed in the answer) but about ten that you had to choose the right command. MLS, HSRP, was not covered intensively. No Rmon, ATM, LANE, DDR, QoS, and TAG switching. Even if it is in the outline from Cisco. I am no saying that there cannot be any question on these subjects but rather that I did not get any. I found the exam fairly easy but I was well prepared for it (except for span and the troubleshooting software packages). I scored 912/1000 for a 699 passing score in 75 minutes and 64 questions. I wrote it in 45 minutes. Thanks again to the group! **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.

Re: BCMSN: STP topology changes
Ole I am not 100% sure but I think that you forgot that it is only meant to age out the entry faster that the default value of 300 sec or 5 minutes. There are also the Hello msg that tells a switch which port is actually "live". If you read a little further on page 159 there is mention of timers for bpdu lifetime. Hope this helps to clarify.

I am not sure if it's me running on 50% power this Sunday morning (most likely), if it's the book that is written like a white house speech, or if it's both. Anyway, the reason for this e-mail is that I am reading something that to me doesn't make sense. For those of you who would like to comment on this, if you have Cisco Press' BCMSN book, I am refereing to "Handling Topology Changes in Spanning Tree" on pages 142 and 143. If you do not have that book, here's a quick description: Switch A is the ROOT bridge. Switch B and C are both connected to Switch A. Switch D is connected to both Switch B and C. Switch E is connected to Switch D. Since A and D can see each other through both Switch B and C, the connection between D and C is blocked. The situation is that Switch D's link to E fails, and Switch D sends a notice to Switch A (the root bridge) via Switch B. The root bridge (Switch A) now sets the topology change in its configuration for a period of time equal to the sum of the fwd delay and max age parameters. According to step 5 (in the book): "A bridge receiving the topology change configuration message from the root bridge uses the fwd delay timer to age out entries in its address table. This allows it to age out entries faster than the normal five-minute default so that stations that are no longer available due to the topology change will be aged out faster. It does this until it no longer receives topology change configuration messages from the root bridge." The last line in that quote makes it sound like it keeps receiving messages about the link E being down until it's up again - but what if the Switch E never comes up again because it was sold to someone else - will the root bridge keep sending messages about it forever??? - I don't think so, but that is how I read it. Can someone please clarify this for me? Thanks in advance, Ole Ole Drews Jensen Systems Network Manager CCNA, MCSE, MCP+I RWR Enterprises, Inc.

Re: MAC Address support for c1900 series
So basically it's a "trunk link" that you set as a "network port"? Or is it just any port that are basically not use a whole lot and you do not mind having the broadcast whenever a MAC needs to be learned so that way your CAM table stays within the 1024 address range for the 1900's? Doesn't the CAM work on a FIFO base? I am still not too clear on this. Also, what is the command on the switch to tell it that it's a network port? "neal rauhauser" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... The little switches have a limited MAC address table. If you know you have a link where they're going to see more MACs than they can hold you set it to be a 'network' port and the switch doesn't learn MACs from there.

Re: Drive, Motivation and Determination !!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you Terrence. I do not have the opportunity to work with Cisco Products except AccessPro cards (2). I also just started my own consulting firm, so it is not easy to be able to buy the right equipment to paractice on. (NO $ available right now) I have other certs CNE (3,4,5), MCSE, A+ where I get to practice my skills everyday. I also have CCA but do not get to work on Citrix anymore. Not a lot of firms know about this product Citrix doesn't even have a demo version for labs. All they provide is a virtual demo room in FLA. There is also a time factor. I dedicate my time to working and trying to build a customer base. The time that I can spend in my lab is minimal. When you decide to study certification like Cisco it would be nice that Cisco would let us use their lab. After all we are supporting their products. Wouldn't it make sense for them to want certified people that at least saw their products (inside and out) and have minimal hands on? When I first started this certification I phone my local Cisco office and asked them if they had a lab I could use. I was turned away as if I was crazy. How is a person suppose to get real hands on in Edmonton Alberta? After I get more knowledge (books) I will try to give my time freely to get some experience. Just my two cents. ""Terrence Garrison"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... lets face it.

Multicast adrressing: ip to Mac
I am studying for the switching exam and I am converting ip multicast address to ethernet addresses. What i don't get is that they state in the Cisco press book (page 294/295) "the least 23 least significant bits of the ip multicast group are place into the frame..." "half of the ethernet block 01:00:5e:00:00:00 to 01:00:5e:7f:ff:ff correspond to ip multicast" I really only use twenty when I am converting from binary to hex. Scenario: 224.138.8.5 (to use their example) 1110 1000 1010 1000 0101 01:00:5e:0A:08:05 Since the 01:00:5e:0 are always going to be, then I am only concerned with the least significant 20. Is this right? I did their exercise on page 319/320 and got 100% (their is an errata for on of the address but it is a decimal to binary error) but I did not use the 01:00:5e:0 as the base but 01:00:5e: Thanks! ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Multicast adrressing: ip to Mac
I wanted to add that there is also an errata to the figure 8-5 page 294 of the BCMSN book by Karen Webb The 48-bit ethernet address should read: 0001 0101 1110 0 which converts to 01:00:5e This leaves 23 bit that can be matched to the Ip Multicast least-significant 23 bits.

Re: Multicast adrressing: ip to Mac
ok ok ok!!! some of you might think that I was in left field. I think I know where I went wrong. I am mixing the 48-bit ethernet address with the conversion process. Let me explain: I was adding a full "half octet field" 01:00:5e:0 when it is actually just one bit (0) from the ethernet address. Group of four bits to convert from binary to hex. I actually discover this by replying to my own question. Sorry for using valuable thread! Should of tried to understand before asking!

Re: Bcran cisco 700?
The group can correct me if I am wrong but Cisco bought an outfit call Combinet and inherited the 700 series. They are onlu producing three of them now: the 761M, 775M, and the 776M. Don't get me wrong they are supporting the lower end ones also but not just producing them anymore. "Daniel Ma" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:8nsol2$arf$[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: BCRAN
I just wrote the exam and there was a lot of "writting the commands" questions but you had a choice of about 80 or so commands. Know them because they have tricky commands just to confuse the hell out of you. Know ISDN and modem stuff very well. Just for reinforcement learn AT commands. A few frame and x25 questions. Just a few queuing, aaa, and compression question. PPP of course was the main focus. I got 795 and the passing was 709. I really did not know the MODELS enough. 700 series to 12000 (at least know what their purpose are.) I could add more but I think that you get the picture. ""Sheahan, Ryan"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... In preparing for the BCRAN exam would you suggest I study the CLI well enough to be able to re-enter the commands. Similar to the Routing exam?

BCRAN and Caslow book!
(config-line)# modem bad . Is this one of those undocumented command? I look at cisco' site and could not find the command. It is supposed to remove from service an integrated bad modem on an access server. I also would like to say that the Andrew Bruce Caslow: Bridges,Routers and switches for CCIEs isbn 0-13-082537-9 is a must for any exam preparation. This book rocks Very well presented, flow is excellent, comprehension level doesn't need to be high ( I'm a greenie), good overall reference book. If there is other books like this one out there I would buy it for sure. ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Generic Advice for CCNP
Read part of Caslow's book and I am really enjoying it. I am now preparing for the BCRAN and found the book a must for nay of the Cisco's exam. Well organized book and easy to understand. Worth every penny and more! ""nnrp-corp.news.cais.net"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 8n8ulh$5dd$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:8n8ulh$5dd$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... I've finished my CCNP and have moved on to CCIE written studies. Thanks to the recommendations of this newsgroup, I bought the Andrew Caslow book, Cisco Certification. In reading the first 4 chapters, it occured to me that it would be of great benefit to those pursuing the CCNP. For example, Caslow's explanation of Frame relay and ISDN are lucid almost beyond compare. I used to think Chappell was the greatest Cisco author but now I think its Caslow!!! I wish I had read Caslow prior to the BCRAN, ACRC and Support. So, my advice--purchase this book--read it topically as it applies to the test you are currently studying for. You might want to read the first few chapters just for the hell of it...its a great intro to cisco routers/switches, interfaces, etc... So, are there any other Caslow lovers out there? Has anyone taken a course from him? Is there anyone familiar with Caslow who thinks there is someone better when it comes to writing about Cisco technology??? I would like to take a class with the guy prior to the CCIE lab.

BCRAN exam and Hats off to all participants!
First I would like to say that I have been reading posting from this newsgroup now for almost a month and I have to congadulate all the participants for the great postings. Back to subject: Nothing is covered on these subject in my BCRAN book from McGraw Hill/Syngress ISDN 0-07-211908-X (it is not a very good book anyhow) dmz (do not know what that is) TAG switching VPN/VPDN VoIP I have read that these are not covered on the BCRAN exam but they are part of the outline from Cisco! Can anyone clarify if these are covered subject?
