RE: Need help with study for CCIE in Denver Colo.

2001-03-19 Thread Faxon, James

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion on where to focus in  regards
to CCIE written?? 
What are good books, good web sites, study aids ect... 
 
 
Also is there anyone in Denver Colorado that is currently studying or
looking for study partners, we already have a good lab and some good
resources. 
 
 
Thanks in advance 
 
James

Just for future reference the Cisco study questions can be found at

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/front.x/wwtraining/colt/ColtLogin.pl

You do need a CCO login and there are alot of different practice tests.

As far as I know there is no practice questions on CCO.  Actually you will
not be able to find practice questions for cisco test as in microsoft test.

Yes it makes the prep. period harder. The best way the prepare is to read as
much cisco press book as possible. There are few independent publisher with
good books. I can't remember thier name now. But still you can check with
www.certificationzone.com . they have perp tests based on their whitepapers
(you need subscription for full access).  Use it to polish your knowledge.

 Hi,

 Could anyone give me the directions to get to the practice question
section
 on the Cisco website? I have CCO access, but I can't seem to find the
 questions. Also, please include directions instead of just a link, I would
 like to be able to see what else is offered in the section.

 Thanks in advance,
 Fred

FW: CCNP Study Guides

2000-11-24 Thread Faxon, James

Well this is interesting the Cisco Trade books all are coming with cds but
the routing boot is not out yet from Cisco Trade isbn#1587200015 due January
2001 the book someone was talking about earlier what published by Macmillan
Technical Publishing and it did do not come with a cd. So to answer your
question, NO this book with this isbn#1578702283 does not come with a cd but
if you get the Cisco Trade books not the Macmillan Technical Publishing they
all are coming with CDs. I have put all the isbn #'s here for you to
reference and until Cisco gets their Cisco Press web site back up i am
unable to find the Cisco Trade for the Support exam but i find it odd that
Macmillan Technical Publishing puts out a cd for the Support exam and not
one for the routing exam go figure

Switching:158727 
Routing:1587200015
Remote:1587200031   
Support:0735709955 (this is not Cisco Trade this is Macmillan Technical
Publishing that comes with a cd)   

check this site out there is three pages of books.

Hello all,

I know there is a Cisco Press study pack available for CCNP V1.0, I have
been looking on Amazon for the new study pack but the info they provide is a
bit vague. Can anybody comment on whether the CCNP Study pack has been
updated for CCNP V2.0? Any other comments regarding this area would be

RE: Stupid Cat 5xxx question

2000-11-23 Thread Faxon, James

if pin 1 attaches to pin 8 and so on would this mean that it is in fact a
rollover cable?? plus i just ran into an issue with and external modem hook
up that required a rollover cable and in indeed we where able to use the
console cable for this.

well, the cable is the same cisco RJ-45 cable used for any console. it's in
fact "inverted" meaning pin1 attaches to pin 8 of the other side and so on.

 NOPE !

 It has an RJ-45 connector which you can use it
 with  both DB25 or DB9 connectors from Cisco and
 a STRAIT cable NOT ROLLOVER

  I've just read (and never noticed on the 5500 we have at work), that the
  5xxx series has a RS-232 console connector (I assume this to mean DB9 or
  DB25) that requires the use of a rollover cable (it did not say null
modem),
  so I guess that means I need two DB25/DB9 to RJ-45 connectors and a
rollover
  between them to log on through the console port.
 
  Can someone please confirm.
 
  Happy Thanksgiving (to those who observe)

this rfc pertains to service provider vpn's leveraging mpls/bgp
implementations.  Its likely a fairly complex topic for those who are
interested in a general understanding of the "vpn" concept.  I will
personally suggest that vpn is one of the more overused and ambiguous terms
floating around these days "thank you multi million dollar marketing
machines".
 
I would suggest picking up a basic book on vpns and focusing on various
encryption/authentication methods.  Spending some time on the IPSec suite
might prove beneficial.
 
I would also suggest that in the time it took to ask the question, a search
on any internet search engine would likely have delivered countless
resources :)

Can someone pls explain to me why they say that switches running MLS can
route packets and rewrite packet headers in hardware? I know that mutilayer
switches use ASIC but is this still not software based? Even with a
integrated circuit I thought there would still be 'management' software
running just so that the IC knows what to do, and if not can someone pls
tell me how this is so or am I looking to deep into this and they say
"hardware based" because its a piece of silicon
soldered on a board.?
