Re: Whats the difference between Classful & Classless??? [7:38867]

2002-03-19 Thread Guy Russell

SIMPLIFIED!

classful relies on the class of the ip address, since subnet mask
information is not advertised.

Classless, means your free to use whatever subnet mask you want,. Since
subnet mask information is supplied with updates...

Re: Rack [7:38796]

2002-03-19 Thread Guy Russell

I use music racks... they are designed for amps, and mixers etc... usually
for DJs. They have a good counterbalance system, and are on rollers... They
come in 2 standards... europe and american... the american standard is the
same peg spacing as network equipment. and they look sharp

They are under 100.00 usually and stand about 4.5 feet or so.

It depends on your site connector protocol... If your using smtp for

Re: Connecting 2501 Ethernet. [7:17546]

2001-08-28 Thread Guy Russell

Sam,

The AUI connector does not contain a transceiver...

So for any connection you will need a transceiver. They make them for BNC,
and RJ45.  If you are needing an RJ45 connection, just go and buy a
transceiver for that purpose... You can get them at some electronics stores,
or look on ebay. they arent that expensive.

Actually, If I remember correctly, he read the Japanese book of change...

Which is also why we refer to making alot of money as Cha Ching(as in

This is where he discovered that One, meaning full, and zero, of course
being very empty!!

Re: Resume [7:15949]

I have never been asked to prove my certs...

That is what technical interviews are for...

And I never put logis on resumes.. My resumes are on plain white paper, with
no frills...just alot of information.

Besides, most people in this business know that tech skills are easy to come
by... Anyone with knowledge of systems, should be able to get almost any job
done with a little research. So get your certs, if they ask you a question
in the technical interview you do not know, tell them... Dont BS it, tell
them you are not sure exactly, but you can find out. Write down what they
ask you. get their email...

After the tech interview, send them a thank you email, and include the
solutions to questions you could not answer during that interview.. You
might be surprised how well that works!!!

NO one knows everything... You might be surprised how many people here
answer questions after they look it up for you... Your best skill will be
that ability to search through information for the answer...

Re: cisco lab [7:15484]

2001-08-09 Thread Guy Russell

You can get a 2511 or 516 access router...

the 516 will give you 16 telnet ports wich can be hooked up to your console
ports on the routers...

Or once your configured, you can simply type in the address of the router
you want to play with, and it will log you in.

Cmon guys... be nicer than that...

I think you are on the wrong group for that, but its not that big of a
deal...

It would be nice if you gave us more information...

Are you installing a program, run a program, is it on the network, or
locally...

How was it distributed..

The first part tell you what is up...
the class needs to be registered. You can find information on how to do that
by searching the knowledge base at microsoft.com

the other is searchable too.

Re: Why Should the Binary Math Method Be Used to Subnet [7:15313]

2001-08-08 Thread Guy Russell

Ive been working with NT for years, and TCP/IP just as long... Developing
sites and deployments...

I personally learned subnetting through binary, and have gotten to the point
that I can calculate quickly in my head...

now this to me is even quicker than opening some program, typing in a few
figures, and getting the answer...

Most people probobly use the calcs etc, but the idea is to make sure you
have an understanding. When going to a client site, and looking at the way
their subnets are set up, I think it is essential to be able to glance at
the environment, and have a good idea if there are any mis configurations of
subnetting. this could quickly rule out something we might not catch right
away... Especially using VLSM...

some may never get to that point, and thats ok too, but you can probobly add
1+1 faster than you can type it in on a calc..

LOL, that pretty much summs it up!!!

No, the test is not difficult..

The questions are short, and are on a basic understanding of the key points.
You are not expected to know as much detail as you would in a CCNP test...
But with proper studying, you could do very well without much hands on...

You could get the Sybex book for CCNA 2.0, it will be easy for you to
understand, and will get you a good foundation for the rest of your career
certs...

Nothing will replace the hands on, but for CCNA, you could do it!

Re: ccnp bootcamp [7:14356]

2001-07-31 Thread Guy Russell

Typically, I would not advocate any Boot camp... They are good to help you
get to pass a test, but then you only have a paper... Not too useful in a
technical interview... Yes, companies dont trust paper anymore, you have to
prove it now!!!

But I can say I did attend a 2 day CCNA bootcamp. My company was going to
send me for training, but it had to be on a weekend... thus the boot camp. I
basically was going to see what kind of routers I should get for my own lab,
and to play with them first hand. Now I was going to give the guy a chance,
but wasnt really optimistic on the idea

Well, Was I surprised. The knowledge from the instructor was great, and
answered alot of questions, he also stayed late each day to let us play on
the routers etc...and ask questions as much as we wanted... He also showed
up early in case we had more questions after going over everything that
night before... I would have to say I would give this guy 2 thumbs up!!!

The company was IT Mentor

www.itmentor.com

now they do have a CCNP bootcamp, but its only held in California, but you
have access all day and night to their extensive lab!!! So big bonuses!!

Daniel Altbaum was the instructor, (sorry if I butchered the name) he also
does tech editing for Cisco press...

Re: Probobly a stupid question.... [7:14273]

2001-07-30 Thread Guy Russell

I currently run NAT on a 2000 Server...

One interface is using an auto ip address that is received from the ISP...
The other Nic, is linked to my switch and to my router stack...

What I would like to do is take one of my routers, and configure nat on it.
This will replace the 2000 server. I dont need advice on the server end, I
have that well taken care of, what I am trying to come up with is a way to
have one interface of my router to accept a dynamic IP address, and to work
nat on that router, the dynamic interface being the outside interface, or
public interface


Yea, I know about the Linksys router as well, and almost went ahead and
bought it, was trying to figure out how to make it do something it probobly
cant.

You know, one of those I wonder if? deals... thats all.

Set up maybe like a DMZ?

I mean, you can certainly set up your DSL connection to be established and
pull an ip address automagically if that is what your isp supports.

Give us a little bit more detail on your goals.

Re: Random thoughts and musings [7:14173]

2001-07-30 Thread Guy Russell

It will be difficult for you to get into that, for a few reasons...

Unless there is an american company already in it, they will probobly keep
it for their own companies.
(they are very particular about these things)

A chineese company probobly wont hire an outsider for this task, since the
government is very strict on where funding goes. We are outsiders to them.

If you are successful, I think it would be a great gig for a while!!! But I
dont think there is much chance of it.

If you are really looking to try, look into computerpeople, they have pretty
much pulled out of the US, and are strictly for Europe. If there was a
company that had a chance, it might be them

Their website is   www.computerpeople.com

Im not sure what you mean by shutting down the ports, but dont forget the
implicit deny that is not seen... denying all

can you access the web or mail services etc... on that machine

Is it applied to the correct interface..

Re: VLAN routing [7:13465]

2001-07-24 Thread Guy Russell

Cisco recommends that a subnet to VLAN relationship exist, but you are
correct, it is not necessary, nor is it in practice...

If this was the case, then we would not need expensive switches in addition
to routers to "subnet our network... we would save some money, and simply
buy a router, maybe add some access lists to it, and voila...

A Vlan is an administrative boundry. The purpose is to reduce traffic on
segments, both collision and broadcast, and to provide some security. "most
companies who implement this do so to restrict access via departments..

So I would not teach it as a subnet, but just as it sounds... a Virtual
LAN..

appearing to be an independant lan, but actually is part of an existing
Lan...

Not to hard to understand...

Re: ccna challenge question [7:13565]

2001-07-24 Thread Guy Russell

Yes, I agree

But why the bit about Classful. It seemed whoever wrote the question wanted
it to be an issue about the "Classful" idea.

Normally, I would fully agree, but if this was a Cisco test question,
especially since the way they word some questions, how would you answer...

I agree with both points!!!

But again take a look at the term classful. When do we see it...

Now lets break down the question...

Using Classful  assumptions, what is the directed broadcast address for
172.18.2.0 with the mask of 255.255.254.0?

Now clearly, it says... Using classful assumptions

At first glance it appears to be a simple subnetting question where we would
try to find the network and broadcast address. So in that case we would come
up with...

172.18.2.0 as the network ID and 172.18.3.255 as the broadcast...

But thats too easy... if we were sitting at a 100.00 test, we would have to
rethink...

Now, again if we were sitting at a CCNA test, we would see 2 correct answers
for either way we went. Cisco isnt like that...  SO I personally would be
inclined to think its a test to see if we know the difference between
classless ans classful routing.

Again, only if this was an actual test question!!! If this was something
someone asked me off the top of my head, I would agree, but it is a
challenge question

Re: what's wrong with CCIE today? [7:13151]

2001-07-20 Thread Guy Russell

Well, This Cisco guy knows how to configure, trouble shoot, install, and
just about anything on an NT or 2000 box... As well as a Novell Box
v3-1x -4.x. As far as Unix, well, not much expertise there... I can install
various versions of Linux, but my demands of other areas have been far too
great to specialize in everything...

If it were my company, and I needed someone to work on my NT servers, I
would hire an MCSE, or Novell Servers, a CNE... if I need a Cisco guy, thats
what I would hire...

I agree that skills should be spread around, but you need to specialize...
Not be a jack of all trades... master of none... But instead a master of
one, and some knowledge of a few others...

A CCIE is a bit too expensive to be fooling around with unix Box configs...

But knowledge of different systems wont hurt, but I dont see it as beeing
mandatory...

Now for the first CCIES...

I doubt they have had any pressing need over the past few years to learn or
certify in Operating Systems... In fact the first ones, have been held on to
by Cisco, and are probobly the ones who came up with things like EIGRP
etc... Doubt the company they work for has asked them to modify client
systems...
