Since you are playing around with QoS, you might as well take the Cisco DQoS
test.  I took it last week and passed.

 Hi guys,

 Just a quick one and am sure this has been asked many times.

 Two rtrs with serial line between them. On one router

 !
 hostname QOS-RTR1
 !
 class-map Data-Service
   match access-group name Data-Hosts
 !
 class-map Voice-Service
   match access-group name Voice-Hosts
 !
 policy-map Customer1
   class Data-Service
bandwidth percent 50
   class Voice-Service
bandwidth percent 20
 !
 ip access-list extended Data-Hosts
  permit ip host 10.1.1.22 any
 ip access-list extended Voice-Hosts
  permit ip host 10.1.1.21 any
 !
 Interface serial0/0
  ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
  Service-policy out Customer1
  bandwidth 512




 Now, if there is only a data stream running from the one configured host
in
 the ACL, and I have a 512k line, This data traffic even though it is
 configured for 50% of the bandwidth, can automatically use 100% of the
 bandwidth (if I have the max-bandwidth thing set to 100) Correct?

 Then if I start the voice stream from the other host, that has 20% of the
 bandwidth, this will then scale down the data traffic so that the 20%
 bandwidth can be guaranteed for the voice stream.

 Please can someone confirm.

 Many thx indeed.

Re: CBWFQ Newbie [7:73034]

2003-07-26 Thread David L. Blair
Jonathan,

You meant to be the priority command on the Voice class-map, not the Data
class-map.

 I think you want to use a variation on CBWFQ called LLQ. This
 uses the priority command instead of bandwidth, to assign
 voice traffic to a Priority Queue which will take precedence over
 other traffic.

 In other words:

 policy-map Customer1
class Data-Service
  priority 50
class Voice-Service
  bandwidth percent 20

 Here's a link to the priority command


http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fqos_c/fqcprt2/qcfwfq.htm#1022204

 and here's a link to an LLQ example:

Re: CBWFQ Newbie [7:73034]

2003-07-26 Thread David L. Blair
Remember with CBWFQ'ing you are reserving bandwidth, but not when the Voice
queue will be serviced.  Voice quality does not tolerate delay or jitter.

The best would be change the bandwidth command in the Voice class map to
priority.  This would changing the queuing on the voice stream to PQ and
change the overall queuing from CBWFQ to LLQ (PQ/CBWFQ).

Re: VoIP over a pt-pt T1 with encap ppp [7:65370]

2003-03-14 Thread David L. Blair
Rule of Thumb for VoIP:

1) If the link speed is T1 or better use G.711 codec which uses 64kb per
call (also refer to as a voice flow).  If the link speed is less than T1 use
G .729 which use 8kb per call or similar codec with built in compression.

2) QoS.  VoIP is successful when the delay is small and constant (Jitter).
G.114 defines an acceptable one way end to end delay of 0 - 150ms.  Delays
as high as 400ms might be tolerated if both parties are aware of the
problem.  There are many factors involved in a delay budget: Processing,
Serialization, and Propagation.  This refers to the time it takes to
digitize the voice waveform , put into a packet and transfer the packet to
an interface and send the packet across the network where the packet is
converted back into an close copy of the original analog waveform.  As you
can see VoIP dictates small packets with a little delay as possible and that
the packets arrive in a steady, constant flow.  Which brings up Jitter.
Jitter is when the delay is not constant. The conversation becomes choppy
because the voice packets arrive at a different spacing than they were
spoken by the sender. Voice packets are best effort and never retransmit a
packet.

3) Packet size. Data likes large packets, is more tolerant of delays and
jitter, but all packets must be received.  Dropping packets leads to data
corruption, so retransmitting packets are allowed. To minimized delay and
reduce Jitter, change the MTU to allow voice to flow and not get stuck
behind large data packets.

 You shouldn't compare SIP and CCM.  SIP is an industry standard, whereas
CCM
 is a Cisco product.  Any vendor, including Cisco, can and has implemented
 SIP.  Only Cisco can 'implement' CCM (after all the first 'C' stands for
 Cisco).

 There is a significant amount of SIP in production - almost all of it in
 service-providers.   Most of today's 3G wireless networks, for example,
rely
 on SIP.

 To make things more confusing, Cisco may implement SIP within CCM soon.

Re: CCNP v3.0 [7:37500]

2002-03-07 Thread David L. Blair

Yes, all Cisco beta tests are three hours or more long.

The reason is in a beta test you are asked around 150 questions whereas a
production test is around 60 questions.  Almost every test vendor does the
same for their beta tests.

You are asked more questions to validate the questions. Vendors want to
develop a test that can be passed.  The beta process is their means for
determining which test questions will be used in the production test pool of
questions. In turn, the test vendor makes the test available at a reduced
cost or free in some cases.

Re: Re: Sample Rate [7:36566]

2002-02-27 Thread David L. Blair

 John Neiberger wrote:
 What I'm trying to find out is why the original 4KHz limit on
 voice calls was put into place.  It sounds like it was simply
 an arbitrary decision.  4KHz is sufficient for a telephone call
 and to provide clear calls that included higher frequencies
 might have added some technical complexities, perhaps.

 They also added a high-pass filter around 400Hz since most
 telephones can't reproduce low frequencies well and it also
 filters out some harmonics of 50-60Hz hum that might show up
 from time to time.  That is concrete reason for including a
 high-pass filter and I wondered if there was a concrete
 technical reason for including the 4KHz low-pass filter. From
 the sounds of it there really isn't a technical issue, 4K is
 just a nice round number.  :-)

I used three sources to answer John's query: Voice over IP Fundamentals,
Cisco Voice over Frame Relay, ATM, and IP, and Integrating Voice and Data
Networks.  These are great books for anyone wanting to know more about
voice technologies.

Interesting Facts and Ideas I came across:

1) Human hearing is in the range of 200 Hz to 20,000 Hz

2) Human speech is in the range of 250 Hz to 10,000 Hz. Most of the
information comes from the middle frequencies. According to Nyquist, Human
voice contains sounds that are more often Middle-pitched frequencies than
either High or Low pitched frequencies.

3) Frequencies greater than 4,000 Hz are filter out to limit crosstalk.

4) During the Analog to Digital conversion voice samples are put though a
process called Quantization.  Quantization is the process of rounding
sampled values to the nearest predefined discreet value. Pulse Code
Modulation (PCM) is a Quantization process. PCM is also used to achieve 12
to 13 bits of voice information in 8 bit words. Two commonly used PCM's are:
mu-law (North America), and a-law (Europe). What you hear is not someone's
voice, but a representation of their voice.

5) Noise is a major issue when talking about voice quality.  Noise is
constant problem for Analog signals.  What is signal and what is Noise?
When a Analog signal is amplified so is the Noise, which in turn makes the
quality of Analog calls worst as the distance increases.  Digital Calls are
less suitable to Noise than Analog calls.

6) Delay is a major issue when talking about conversation flow for two
reasons: 1) For a conversation to flow normally, the delay is receiving the
voice information must be less than 250ms.  When the delay is more than
250ms, the human receiving the voice message will start to talk thinking the
human sending the voice message is at a breaking point in the conversation,
i.e.. both people are talking at the same time similar to a collision in
Ethernet.  Delay is also important in how the voice packets are filled
during the Analog to Digital conversion.  That is why ATM (ATM cell is 53
octets, 5 octets are header and 48 octets are payload) is a good method for
transporting voice packets because the delay to fill the payload section is
smaller than with other cell/packet types.


Answer: It does indeed seem that the 4,000 Hz mark was arbitrary in nature;
3,500 Hz or 5,000 Hz would work also.  It is a nice round number to work
with.  Simplies any math work.  Middle frequencies carry the bulk of the
information and Human speech upper limit is 10,000 Hz amd 4,000 is near the
middle. The low filter is also to reduce the frequencies that carry less
information.

Hope this helps.

 guys,

 my boss has just told me that cisco are trailing a few prisons where they
 are offering free CCNP training to convicts

 man does that just bite the buscuit.

 i worked long and hard to pay for my exams.get some work experience
 and at my expence (bieng a tax payer)i am funding a convict to learn
 about cisco.

 i know about re-abilitation.but it is just a bit sick that i as an
 individual,could

 a) been robbed by this man ... my house is trashed and my insurence goes
up
 (i pay )
 b) funding him in prison to learn Cisco (i pay)
 c) comes out of prison and de-vaules a cert becuse he has no experience (i
 pay)


 does cisco want to have a useless cert system(except ofcourse the
 CCIE)because the more people who BLANTENTLY DONT have any experience
 witht these certs ...the less they mean...


 i`m  sorry to rantbut sometimes i wish company`s would consider there
 future..

 FACT (from Cisco) there will always be more jobs for NA/NP than IE`s

 1)i get exams to be employable...
 2)in order to get these exams i push the company`s kit ..

 i have recently installed some 4000`s over another companies kit,even
 thought the other kit is more than capable of doing the job..because i get
a
 side benefit of learning about the equipment and increasing my CV value
 

 3)if i am working at a company and i dont want a cisco cert because it is
 worthless..why would i push that companies products..

 i would simply push another company`s products to get my certs in the
there
 equipment ,to keep my employability

 4) cisco dont sell as much equipment 
 5) certs become even more worthless..
 6) cisco sells even less equipment as no-one is trained anymore
 7) cisco becomes Novell(my appologies to all novell staff)...

 a little for-thought is all that required...

 as my boss says...

  one of my main reson for buying kit is the amount of tech staff
availible
 to install/fix the kit...if there`s no staff there no kit

 in a job market that is already depressed that last thing that is needed
is
 a flood of Certified but unexperienced people on the market..

 the it industry is like no other ,in that fact that we have to CONSTANTLY
 update our skills ...that takes time,money and personal
 sacrfisesomething i dont think cisco is at all concernd with...

 ahh welll.

 no chance of a [EMAIL PROTECTED] list starting any time soon...??

 Hi Priscilla,

 Questions like which answer doesnt not belong  means what??? Is Cisco
 implying that the double negative means positive as we were taught years
ago
 in algebra class or it should be ignored and taken for one negative.

 Am currently taking my CSS1 track, I wrote Cisco Secure VPN yesterday
which
 happens to be the third exam in the series. I came accross a lot questions
 which made no sense at all. Looking at the question, it was not a question
 at all. it was not asking any particular thing, it had no meaning, no
 bearing, no sense in it, they are just like saying
blablablablablablablabla.
 The more I read them the more I get confused and lost at what Cisco was
 tring to ask. Have you come accross questions that made you think 'What
must
 be in the mind of the examiner when he was asking this question, which
 aspect of Network or Security implementation was he thinking of? What I
 normally do is to completely ignore the questions and eliminate the odd
 options in the answer, at the end of the day in many questions like these,
I
 come out with NOT THE BEST ANSWER as they use to tell one, but rather a
 choice that made a different SENSE and MEANING than the other three or
four.

 I sometimes ask whether the current Cisco questions were not originally
 written in English but were translated from another language and as such
the
 transators did not do a good job or is it a deliberate action on the part
of
 Cisco? If it were the former it is long time they take a closer look at it
 and if it is the later, what must have informed their actions?

 Regards.

  To any one who cares using boson CCDP #1  #3 helped .
  
  I started using the latest version of the CID exam prep from cisco
press
 but
 
  Exam prep guides are written with the goal of summarizing what you need
to
  know. They are not the course materials, but go beyond in some ways, and
  may also skip some basic stuff. They can be great for review, but don't
  work for everyone as the primary source.
 
  found the earlier version of the book written by birkner a better
source.
 
  This wasn't an earlier version of the same book. It's a different book.
  This was the course materials ported to book format. The author should
be
  Cisco (course developers) although in this case Birkner didn't exactly
  follow the script and added his own material and left some out.
 
  In general, Cisco Press develops at least two types of books:
 
  Certification guides: not written by Cisco, but still often very helpful
  Course book: training written by Cisco, ported to book format by an
editor
  paid by Cisco Press, usually an excellent resource as the tests are
taken
  from the course.
 
  A question came up about the different types of Cisco Press books in a
  different thread, so I responded here. (My other response never made
it?)
 
  Anyway, congratulations on passing CID! It's a hard test. Good luck with
  CCIE.
 
  Priscilla
 
 
  The answers are very close to each other and need to be read carefully,
 they
  can be tricky. Watch out for the  which answer doesnt not belong 
  questions those can be the most difficult.

Re: Router doesn't hold Enable Passwrod [7:33645]

2002-01-30 Thread David L. Blair

Do you have an Enable Secret password set?  The Enable password is mainly
still around for support of older IOS code.  Cisco is trying to move
everyone to using Enable Secret.

Have you tried typing out the full command: enable password password?

What is your configuration register set to 0x2102 or 0x2142?  If is set to
0x2142, the router will ignore the startup-config which contains the Enable
and Enable Secret passwords.

If that does not fix the problem, I am out of ideas.

 I appreciate any information you may have..

 I have a 3600 was IOS version 12.0.7 and I was trying to create the enable
 password.  I believe I did it correctly but the router does not hold the
 enable password, it just goes directly into enable mode when I type
 (enable).  Even after I create an enable password, anyone know why?

 The Syntax I entered is below
 (
 config t
 en password password
 )


 Thank in advance..

Re: Totally OT : Was there a man on the moon ? [7:33465]

2002-01-28 Thread David L. Blair

Well, I am old enough, forty next month, to remember the Live broadcast
from the moon or least alleged Live broadcast.

When I was in first grade my school turned on the TV during lunch and we
were allowed to watch the Moon broadcast.  This is very flimsy evidence, but
I have to this date seen a broadcast of that quality, effects, or nature
since.

This concept was made into a movie Capricorn Down starring James Brolin.

 Sorry for this waste of b/w but I have two discening

 moon, instead it was a big stage act. The shadows are
 in the wrong place blah, blah, blah. Unfortunately
 they cannot expand on the shadow theory since they
 don't understand it themselves. They just Want to
 believe in an American etc conspiracy. G.

 My initial defence that Man has landed on the moon was
 based on the fact that Russia didn't make any
 complaints which I'm sure they would have done. This
 has been unfortunately dismissed by the same argument
 i.e propaganda, America etc would not allow the
 reporting of such info-.

 Okay, now I need Physics to help.
 My hunch is that the radio signal of the famous speech
 by Neil Armstrong would be sent on a certain frequency
 which could only be picked up by a receiver set to the
 same frequency, and it would be possible to calculate
 the distance from Neil to Earth. Not done physics for
 20 years so I'm struggling here.

 OR could this be simulated in a LAB to make the
 distance of Neil to Stage appear to be the distance to
 the moon ?

 Any other possibilities more than welcome to shut
 these muppets up.

I have also used Half.com and had similar experiences.  I use Half.com when

Overall, I use www.bestbookbuys.com.  Searches over twenty new and used book

 Based on my first experience with this means of purchasing books, I have
the
 following observations:

 1) price is great

 2) service / delivery sucks

 Don't be in a hurry when you use this subsidiary of e-bay. from the
postmark
 to my hands was about a week, but the postmark is two weeks after I placed
 the order and the order was accepted.

 you have no choice for shipping. media mail ( media is apparently Eskimo
 for dog sled via the north pole ) is the only option.

 reading the site, I see that comments from other customers are all over
the
 board. about equal good and bad. the bad all revolve around turnaround
time.

 I chose half.com because they claimed to have the book in stock at the
time
 I was ordering. Other places stated no availability. I suspect a part of
the
 problem with the particular book I ordered is that is it is newly
released,
 and the seller ( some small shop in New Jersey ) accepted my bid thinking
 they could get the book through distribution and found they had to wait
for
 the release.

 for my money, bookpool is still the way to go.

Re: 2 exams [7:19695]

2001-09-13 Thread David L. Blair

Of the four CCNP tests, I had the easiest time with the CIT test. Score:
875.  Good but not great. If you have been troubleshooting computer and/or
router problems for a couple of years or more and of course have put in
study time that test should not be to much of a problem.  If you have the
resources, read over the CiscoPress CIT Certification Guide especially the
Foundation Summary for each chapter.  Also, look at the CiscoPress CIT book,
ExamCram CIT, BrainBuzz CIT StudyGuide, and Boson CIT test #1.  Ditto for
BCRAN on the reading.

For the BCRAN test.  Score: 775  Luck to have passed.  I really did not like
the format is this test.  I had 25-30 questions where you picked from an
exhibit the command the question was asking for and then had to type in the
command which was bad for me since I studied more on theory than actual
command structure.  This way of testing also slow me down.  I had to ensure
that I had the correct command and that I correctly typed into the field
provided.  The level is questions were not as difficult as Routing.  KNOW
ISDN COLD!!!  Some Frame Relay.  Know all the ways to remote access a
network and which Cisco product fits each way and how these products are
used in a SOHO, Remote, and Branch Office.  As well as in the corporate HQ.

When I was in the Air National Guard flying in the backseat of the F-4D Jet

When did CCIE Written become a certification? I take serious issue
  with
engineers who do this. It only adds to the cheapening of the
cert. Pass your
lab, get your number, call yourself a CCIE. Til then, you are a
CCNP, CCDP.
My two cents.
   
CL: about the same time the CCNP 2.0 became a certification. Some
  people
will do anything to make themselves look better

 Having recently just passed CCNP this year I will say you must
have
  a
 Router.
 The reason is that the prescribed rituals must be performed in
front
  of
the
 Router.
 Without a Router the powerful spirit of routing, BGPOSPF, wont
bless your
 efforts and even if you do pass all knowledge will be removed from
  you
 within 2 months. Some have said scrificing your most valuable
  possesion
 before the router helps. I give it my time which seemed to work
  well.
Others
 have given the Router spirit money, bought it accessories, even
food
  but
so
 far time works best.
 Hope this helps and smile cause TGIF!!

 I can't remember for Banyan VINES! Maybe it does!? ;-)

 A quick look at Tannenbaum, who does a nice job with generic but technical
 descriptions of the layers, found no use of the word segment. He uses the
 OSI term Transport Protocol Data Unit (TPDU) and the term message.  He
 doesn't even use segment when discussion TCP.

From my discussion with the software engineers at Banyan, we used the term
message.

FYI: I use to work for Banyan.  A good deal of the software engineers were
hired by Microsoft.

Re: Real BSCI Exam Questions! [7:17905]

2001-08-31 Thread David L. Blair

It is a beta test which means some of the questions you failed or passed
will not show up on the production test.

I am guessing if you passed a question that did not make into the production
test question pool, Cisco gave you credit.  On the other hand, if you failed
a question that Cisco decided not to use in the production test pool.  I am
fairly positive that Cisco did not count that against you.

Your raw section average is 67.75%.  Cisco might be assignment different
points to questions.  In that case, percentage of right vs. wrong has less
meaning.  If you passed higher value questions and missed mainly lower value
questions, you could have a low percentage and still pass.

Basically, it is all guesses until Cisco reveals more beta testing details.

Re: Can you pass CCNP w/o having Cisco gears? [7:18107]

2001-08-31 Thread David L. Blair

During the time from when I took my CCNA, 02/2000, and passed my first CCNP
test around 02/28/2001 and finished my CCNP on  06/27/2001.  I rarely had to
support routers at work.  If I had a issue that involved routers, I call the
group that oversaw the routers.  We worked the problem together put I never
was allowed to login to a router or used a console connection to the router.

Disclaimer:
I have three routers at home, but I mainly used them to verify command
usage, like which router mode was required for various commands.   I have
extremely little Catalyst experience.  I have had jobs in the past where I
did directly support routers.  Also, I test well.

Now to answer your question.  Yes, with the books, (CiscoPress and Sybex)
and study guides, (ExamCram and CramSession from Brainbuzz) that are
available and various companies that provide sample tests, (CiscoPress,
Boson).   A person of reasonable ability and intelligence could pass the
CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, and CCDP without ever seeing, touching, or otherwise using
ANY Cisco product whatsoever.  I also do not recommend this course of action
lessens the Cisco certification process.

My current job, I am the Network Manager.  Where I and my staff directly
support all the companies Internetwork equipment (Switches, Routers, Hubs)
plus servers and the company Firewall, and unfortunately DESKTOPS.

You are allowed to take the CCNP test in whatever order you desire.  I
recommend you take CIT last or at least after taking BCSN and BCMSN.

 Hi All:

 I just completed my CCNA. I am planning to take BCMSN next. When I
 was reading the Cisco press books I found out that they recommend
 taking BCSN before taking BCMSN. Is that a requirement for BCMSN.

 I am taking BCMSN because most of my work is involved with LANs and
 switches. Is there any dependency between the tests.

 Is it advisable to take BCSN before BCMSN.

 Thanks,
 GBit.

I have two issues with your e-mail.

First, your company wants ME to pay $250.00 to beta test your product.  I
think not!!!  I am not saying it has to be free, but $250.00 is WAY to
MUCH!!!  Maybe $50.00 to $75.00.  Basically, you expect me to provide you
with VALUABLE feedback on your product and you want to charge me an arm and
a leg for providing with VALUABLE beta testing feedback.  I normally charge
customers for the service you expect ME to pay for.

Second, the e-mail did not have an e-mail address in the To: field.  I

For me BSCN was harder than BCRAN and Support was easier.  I recommend
taking Support last since is it basically a review of the other three tests
but from a Support point of view Plus extra troubleshooting related
questions.

BSCN = BGP, BGP, and BGP plus OSPF, EIGRP, and a little RIP

Checkout www.cramsession.brainbuzz.com  each study guide for the Cisco tests

I read that you have multiple certs.  Are you currently employed the IT
field?

I was until last month, the economy.

What and where?

I have been in the IT business since 1986, mainly in Illinois, Arizona, and
now Florida.

I'm changing career after retiring in the Navy next year.  I don't have
networking experience.  I just finished my BS in Information Technology.
I'm
now attending a free Cisco Networking Academy, second semester.  The Navy
is
willing to send me to take my Master's Degree in Electronic Commerce-- for
free tuition!  I have 20 months to use this, or lose the scholarship.

The Master's degree would help especially in E-Commerce, Business
Administration, and Project Management.

My question is: Is it worth taking the CCNA vice Masters degree?

Or vice versa?

Based from your experience, which will land me a job better on networking?

Depends on what you want to do? Be a wrench turn'er or a boss, ( i.e..
hands on or management.)  With limited hands on knowledge ,the best chance
for a high paying job might be management.  I am more of a wrench turn'er
who also manages.

Re: Cisco Certifications still worth anything? [7:10599]

2001-07-03 Thread David L. Blair

 With the death (or extended delay) of CCIE Design, I think that the CCDP
is
 sufficiently different that it can/should be used alongside of CCIE.

 CCNP on the otherhand flows directly into CCIE RS.


I, basically, agree with Kevin except for this.  You are required to be a
MCP before a MCSE.  Same goes for CBS before CBE and CNA before CNE.  Now
with Cisco all bets are off.  The CCNA/P or CCDA/P are mutually independent
from the CCIE (any flavor).  It is redundant, but I feel if you went to the
trouble and expense why not put ALL your Cisco certifications.

Say someone was a CCIE RS, CCNA, CCNP, CCDA, CCDP, MCSE, CNE, and
Checkpoint CCSA.  On a business card, all of that will not fit and look
right.  For example, I would use:  David L. Blair, CCIE, MCSE, CNE, CCSA.
The TOP certification from each certification area.  On the resume I would
list them all.

When I get my CCIE I plan to list all my certifications or least as many
that will fit on one line of a business card.  The number of certifications
is also measure of where you have been and your tenure in the business.

Newly Minted CCNP!! [7:10391]

2001-06-29 Thread David L. Blair

Thanks to the list and especially Ms. Priscilla.

I will try to relate my test knowledge without breaking the NDA.

Order of Passing  Order of Difficult for meScore
RoutingRouting 850
\
Switching Remote Access 774\
The passing score for all the tests was
Support   Support 875
/   around 700.
Remote AccessSwitching  835 /

I took Remote Access yesterday.  The testing method is vastly different from
the other three.  Tons of exhibits!!! Unlike the other test where you might
type in a few commands or pick a command and router mode from a list.  Cisco
decided to change things a bit.  You still have a list of commands with no
router mode, but you must type in the command into the answer field.  So not
only do need to know the answer, but NOW accurate typing is required.
Know the ports of the routers mentioned in the CiscoPress book for Remote
access.


All and all I am glad it is over.  I just melted a hole in my VISA card
buying books for my CCIE Written and Lab studies.  FYI:  cheap books try
www.bestbookbuys.com.  This website is the AltaVista or Google of book
sites.  It searches 10-20 book sites for the best price including shipping
charges.

Re: Book Recommendations [7:10201]

2001-06-28 Thread David L. Blair

 I am currently studying for my CCNP, and should have it knocked off in a
 couple of months.  For study material so far, I have pretty much just been
 using the Cisco Press study guides and CCO.

I just got my CCNP yesterday.  I used three or four books per test:
CiscoPress  1) Courseware Book, i.e. Cisco Internetworkign Troubleshooting;
2) CCNP Support Exam Vertification Guide; ExamCram 3) CCNP Support; and
Sybex 4) Support by Todd Lammle and et al.  A lot of money, but now these
bboks are my reference library for my CCIE studies.

   Through Simplicity there is Complexity

David L. Blair - CCNP, CCNA, MCSE, CBE, A+, 3Wizard





 I am just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good books,
 especially involving routing protocols such as OSPF/BGP/EIGRP, for someone
 at the CCNP level looking towards gaining enough knowledge for the CCIE
 written and eventually CCIE lab (gulp).  I am after not just a study
guide,
 but for more detailed info - not targetted at a specific exam but more to
 increase the detail of my knowledge in these areas.

 A couple that I am looking at (that you guys have talked about in this
 list):
 -Routing tcp/ip vol 2 by Cisco Press
 -Top down network design by Priscilla

 It would be great if you could make some suggestions as to what good books
 you have found.

 Thanks in advance!

 Sam.

Re: CIT Exam is very tough [7:9270]

2001-06-21 Thread David L. Blair

I only use two practice test programs whatever comes with the CiscoPress
Certification Guides and BOSON.

Personally, of the three CCNP tests I have taken so far here is how I rank
them, Routing, CIT, Switching.  Routing, for me, was by far the hardest
test.  All during the test I was watching the clock and barely finished in
time and thought not that I was going to pass, but just exactly how badly I
was going to fail!  Score 850.  Not bad, but could definitely be better.  I
took Switching three weeks later.  Finished in half the allotted time and
only worried a couples of times about not passing.  Score 835.  I then took
a break and took the CIT test last week.  A little harder than Switching,
but not by much.  I thought I would pass and only started worrying when I
got a series of ISDN questions.  Score 885.  My best to date.   Individual
results vary.  I found the CIT the most familiar since I have been
troubleshooting computer or electronic problems since 1981.  Most of the
test just seemed to make sense, if you know how to troubleshoot.

 I asked a few days ago about the new test for the R/S lab on the boson
 site.
The only answer I got was one about the sample questions.  Since
nobody
 said anything, I figured I'd put my money up ($30). To give you an idea
of
 where I'm coming from, I'm a ccnp, so I have that level of experience
with
 ISDN.
 
 I thought I know ISDN, but I learned a lot about dialback, how to prevent
 different routing protocols from keeping a ddr up, and troubleshooting
ISDN
 problems.  There were a lot of find the problem configurations, and a
 whole bunch of troubleshooting.  I got at least as much from this as I
did
 from any of the $70 books I've been buying at a rate of two a week, and I
 feel like I got more from this since it's interactive (my mind works that
 way).  I figure this gives me a good running start at configuring my
2503's
 when they get here.  Anyway, I hope they come out with a few more, and
 cover
 stuff like ATM and VoIP.

Re: passed BCMSN

2001-04-06 Thread David L. Blair

In electrical terms, leakage can refer to a Capacitor leaking DC voltage
instead of blocking it.  There other electrical references to signal
leakage.  So it is my guess that whomever coined the phrase "frame leakage"
was familiar with one of the those other electrical references about signal
leakage and applied it to the data world.  As previously mentioned, "frame
leakage" is when frames belonging to VLAN A  incorrectly appear in VLAN B.
This occurs when you have VLAN trunking turned on and a configuration error
or possible a hardware problem with the multi-layer switch.
