Cisco Security Specialist 1: To self-study or not to [7:54756]

2002-10-02 Thread Eric Mwambaji

I am interested in pursuing the CSS1 designation. Can
anyone tell me if this cert is a bear without the
necessary training. 

There is a slight chance I may be able to get my
employer to spring for the classes but I need to find
out more before I start 'pulling teeth'.

I have self-studied up to the CCNP level but I'm not
sure I'll be able to get to all gear I need for this
cert. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks
Eric CCNP

Re: collissions on serial line? [7:34816]

2002-02-08 Thread Eric Mwambaji

Theoretically, it is impossible to get collisions on a
serial line. LAN bus architecture experiences
collisions because two devices can send frames to the
bus at the exact same time. Serial interfaces transmit
on a frequency if you will. This means that the frames
will pass each other even when sent at the same time.

Re: Token Ring defined [7:24643]

2001-10-30 Thread Eric Mwambaji

The term Token-Ring describes the original IBM
specification and the subsequent IEEE 802.5. However
802.5 does not specify a physical topology. Original
IBM's TokenRing specifies a star topology with all
workstations connected to a Multistation access unit
(MAU)ie Physical star logical ring. 

  h1
   |
   |
  h2-(Mau)-h4

  h3

Token flows from h1 to h2 to h3 to h4 then back to h1.

Latency on ATM interface - Any ideas [7:12978]

2001-07-19 Thread Eric Mwambaji

I experience intermittent increased latency on
extended pings from a 3662 to another 3662 router
accross my lab WAN. The ping starts off with replies
at 32 ms but once in a while the reply goes over
600ms. ie the replies are not constant. Removing
the vbr-nrt from my config results in faster replies
between 1 and 2 ms but again every 13th or so reply is
10ms. Does any one know what maybe causing this??? My

Re: CertificationZone White Paper EIGRP ?

2001-01-15 Thread Eric Mwambaji

Think of it this way

The only K values that are set to 1 are K1 and K3
which are Bandwidth and Delay. If all other values are
set to 0, then the metric calculation in Eigrp will be
dependent on the values of Bandwidth and Delay which
is a truth in Eigrp world.

To cut a long story short. K2=K4=K5=0 means that
by default, these values are 0.

 
--- Phil Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 
 I'm having trouble with the equation referenced on
 page 5 (A4) concerning the metric calculation.
 Ref Don Dettmore.
 
 If this equation is correct as it stands and
 K2=K4=K5=0
 Then the Right Side of the equation will be 0, which
 when multiplied by whatever on the left side will
 equal 0. i.e metric = 0. I'm guessing a little that
 these two sides should be added together not
 multiplied ? Can anyone verify this ?
 
 I've cross checked this with Ivan Pepelnjak' book on
 EIGRP. Chapter 1, Page 10 "Computing a Composite
 Metric" appears to verify that the White Paper is
 CORRECT. They both suggest that if K5 = 0 then the
 Composite Metric = 0 ???
 
 Ivan also suggests that if all K-Values are set to
 zero then the composite metric is always 1 ?
 
 Wether or not you add or multiply both sides
 together
 the composite metric will = 0.
 
 Anyway, there is also a typo below 108 should read
 10^8
 
 
 
 SNIP
 This differs from the bandwidth usage in OSPF, in
 which route cost, by default, derives from the sum
 of
 interface costs along the path. OSPF interface cost
 defaults to 108/interfaceBandwidth, where
 interfaceBandwidth is 1544 or the value of the
 interface bandwidth commands (with a value in
 kilobits).
 
 
 END SNIP
 
 
 Any thoughts ?
 
 Phil.
