This has been planned for some time now but we need to move faster then I would like. I just received a bill from our co-location facility for the GroupStudy service and let's just put it this way, in most locations rent on a two bedroom apartment is less expensive. So we need to try and reduce our bandwidth usage (an eventually find another co-location facility). It has been quite clear for some time now that the GroupStudy server needs help. We are dropping an unacceptable number of messages (I personally have had five in a row discarded) and the messages that make it take a random amount of time to propagate. To fix this, I have purchased a new server and bandwidth (at a lower cost facility). We will be migrating to the new server in the next few days. Once the move is complete we will cut over to the new server. But wait it gets better .. We are dumping majordomo as our list software! Our new software will allow you to change a number of options.

It is also a good idea to login to the server and set your password to something more memorable then the random password given.

New CCNA tracks [7:71256]
I haven't seen anything about this before, so I thought I'd share an article from CertMag Cisco_PolishesCisco Polishes CCNA Certification Cisco Systems will announce several enhancements to the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) program tomorrow, June 24th. CCNA, Cisco's most popular certification, was introduced in April 1998 and is the entry-level certification for the Cisco Career Certification Program. It requires base-level knowledge of IP networking and troubleshooting. Enhancements to the CCNA program include a new two-step exam path, revisions to content and a new recertification option. Candidates will now have two paths to approach CCNA certification: a single-exam path that includes exam #640-801 (which will be available June 30th) or a two-exam path that includes exam #640-821 (Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies, or INTRO) and exam #640-811 (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, or ICND). http://www.certmag.com/articles/templates/cmag_nl_extra_content.asp?articlei d=298 zoneid=37 (watch the wrap)... --- Dennis Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=71256t=71256 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 2 different CCNP certifications [7:66547]
It depends on how strong (and or overconfident) you are. If you REALLY know all the material, than the Foundation is a nice shortcut. It's quite a bit more expensive than the other exams, but cheaper in total (if you pass); and if you pass, you're through in one test session. The problem is, if you blow one part of the test, you blow it all. For most people (myself included) taking the separate tests allows you to compartmentalize your studying - study switching for a few weeks, and take the test; study remote access for a few weeks, and take the test; etc. Unless you've got BGP running through your nervous system all the way to your ASs, than I would go the multi-test route.

In their online curriculum, they refer to two flavors of switches: Set Based and IOS Based In Cisco's Network Academy online curriculum universe, Set Based switches are switches which use set commands, e.g. 4000 6000 series switches. IOS Based switches don't use set commands, e.g. the 2900XL switches. However, if you look at Cisco's CCNP Switching book by Hucaby, et al., they make the following distinction: IOS-based commands (found on CAT 1900/2820, 2900XL, and 3500XL) are similar to many IOS commands used on Cisco routers. Set-based, command-line interface (CLI) commands (found in 2926G, 4000, 5000 and 6000) use set and clear commands to make changes to the configuration.

CLI is simply the Command Line Interface, meaning you are given a prompt to enter commands at. Set- and IOS-based CLI's appear on different families of switches. There is a third category of switches that are configured through menu choices. I've already posted this, but in case it doesn't make it back to the original author of the thread - I tried to answer this question by listing which models of switches use which CLI, and provide a sample configuration for each.

I've spent the last three months updating Cramsession, Boson and Quizware test preparation materials, so I've been buried in this for a while now. I would definitely agree that the new blueprint is much harder then before; and I think Bernard's suggestion about preparing as if for the lab is a great idea. I would, however, like to offer a slightly different perspective on this. Many people who passed the old written exam were nowhere near ready to face a lab attempt. From this point forward, the people enter the lab for the first time will be in a better position to pass; and that might save you time and money in the long run. I feel like what you need to know for the new written is more relevant, not just for the lab, but in the real world at work as well. Perhaps I'm just being overly optimistic, but I don't see this as a pure negative...

I think there are a lot of very useful tools to prepare for this exam, and if I were preparing to take it I would avail myself of several of them. The subject matter is both broad and deep.

RE: Mac Layer access list [7:48324]
My intention is to buy an Aeronet 1200, which I believe will have much of this functionality built in. For the initial testing I'm using an old Lucent (Orinoco) access point that I had in my desk from the last time I played with 802.11b two years ago. Since I've long since lost the cable and documentation I haven't been very successful getting a console session to make any changes (if anybody knows the cable pinout and console settings, let me know). I can easily filter based on static IP addresses, but MAC addresses would be better because it would make it that much more difficult to hack. By the way, even once I get the Areonet AP, the principle security tool is 128-bit WEP. The problem here is that WEP only offers encryption, not authentication or other security features; and It's already known to have been hacked - so the access list would still be nice as an extra layer of security. --- Dennis -Original Message- From: Logan, Harold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 12:32 PM To: Dennis Laganiere; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mac Layer access list [7:48324] As others have pointed out, having your upstream router act as a bridge is your best bet.

Re: CCIE RS written update [7:46373]
I don't believe Cisco has announced when the old version will go away, but I think the common wisdom among the people who have taken the beta is that it is much harder. If you're close to ready for the exam, now is a good time to get in study mode and be done with it. By the way, if I'm wrong and it turns out there's a lot of time before the update comes up; so what... You'll already have finished it and moved on to lab preparation, which is a lot more fun... :-) If you need some extra study materials, I've posted some free documents as www.laganiere.net and the old cramsession I wrote years ago is still at www.cramsession.com (with corrections on my website)...

Congratulations!!! Excellent work!!! --- Dennis - Original Message - From: Pierre-Alex Guanel To: Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 9:46 AM Subject: CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535] I took the CCIE written yesterday afternoon and passed (80%) I was expecting more, but I flunked the performance/QoS section of the exam, which I neglected somewhat during preparation. I used both Boson #1 and Boson #3. Those 2 tests are complementary and are NOT substitute for each other. Boson #3 focuses on SNA issues where as Boson #1 focuses on the other networking topics. If you can, you should purchase both tests. For preparation I did a pre-test on Boson #3 and discovered how little SNA and ATM I knew. For 3 weeks, I studied SNA and ATM using CCO + hands-on until the whole thing felt natural. Then, on the 4th week of preparation I repeated the same strategy with Boson #1. I dicovered 3 areas of networking where I had some weaknesses. I only had time to work on 2 of them thoroughly before the test. Thank you to Bernard and Dennis for excellent test materials and to all those who gracefully took the time to answer my questions. I particularly want to thank Priscilla and Leigh Anne who both put me back on track several times during the last two years and Daniel Cotts for squeezing some time out of his busy schedule to spend some time discussing Cisco with me.

I'd agree, especially if you've got a study buddy to split the cost with... On the other hand, the prices I found were from e-bay - so provided Cisco doesn't drop ISDN from the lab, you can always resell the unit once you're done and the only thing you're out is the delta in the prices and any interest you might have lost by not investing in Enron stock...

Re: CCIE Written Question [7:44578]
The problem of canonical and non-canonical MAC addresses exists because Token Ring devices start reading each bit of a byte at the most significant bit, while Ethernet devices start reading each bit of a byte at the least significant bit. The 0's and 1's are exactly the same on the Token Ring wire as they are on the Ethernet wire. It is how the Network Interface Cards (NIC) and device drivers read the 0's and 1's that is different. For example, an Ethernet host would see 0100 when reading an unconverted byte sent from a Token Ring host as 0010. Since we usually look at MAC addresses in Hexadecimal, let's review how to convert the numbers for our purposes. Take a look at the table below. It provides the converted hex digits, and binary examples to show how the numbers were derived: 0=0 ( - ) 8=1 (1000 - 0001) 1=8 (0001 - 1000) 9=9 (1001 - 1001) 2=4 (0010 - 0100) A=5 (1010 - 0101) 3=C (0011 - 1100) B=D (1011 - 1101) 4=2 (0100 - 0010) C=3 (1100 - 0011) 5=A (0101 - 1010) D=B (1101 - 1011) 6=6 (0110 - 0110) E=7 (1110 - 0111) 7=E (0111 - 1110) F=F ( - ) When converting from canonical and non-canonical, or the other way around, take the address in one byte (two hexadecimal digits), convert the digits based on this chart or by actually reversing the bits. Once the individual digits are converted, swap them. For example, A7 would become E5, and E5 would become A7. There are several examples in the questions at the end of this chapter.

Identify 1750 models [7:40857]
I have several voice modules and I wanted to use them in my study pod.

None of the 1750's I've seen on ebay say what model they are, and the sellers I've e-mailed haven't seen any designation on the outside of the chassis. Not having ever seen any 1750's myself, I don't know how to tell them apart.

Pull more copper, is the obvious. Depending upon the telco layout, of course. But, like many of Chuck's musings, this brings up some more real world questions. Given: Investment in analog/digital cu based phone sets at buildings. A score, or more, of PBX's currently on telco copper. New fiber to each PBX building for voice and data. (6 strands, sm) What transport over that fiber would be most cost-effective in the near term? How about the longer-term? Where would convergence fit in the calculations? Let'see. Fiber T1 modems are simple, easy. Pluses. Minus? Old technology, difficult for data guys to manage well, no convergence factor. IP transport for telephones over the fiber pair. Pluses, data guys understand IP, ok convergence path. Bit more costly, currently, though. True VoIP. Haven't heard really glowing reports from large scale, lower budget, institutions,...yet. The convergence path. Costly. Throw out yer copper investment(s). Of course this is not an exhaustive discussion. Just a number of ways 'round the communications barn. Best, G.
