BSCI 640-901 [7:74922]

2003-09-06 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Hi there,
I have registered for this exam for the 22nd of this month. I had the option
of the newer exam (642-801) but I chose this one. The reason being the fact
that this exam covers more material than the newer one. However, I guess
there is a difference in knowing your technologies and passing a paper. :)
Anyway, I would really appreciate any tips for preparing for the exam.
Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Kenan

Hi there,
The book I am using is the Cisco book for the old BSCN exam. However, I am
reading stuff off the Cisco web-site because that is a good place. Also, I
am using Internet Routing Architectures by Sam Halabi.
I am looking forward to the simulations though because they are the ones
that seem to test most of your practical experience. Nonetheless, I have my
fingers crossed till after the test results come. :)

Cheers,

Kenan

Re: Bakup Interface with Wireless! [7:70410]

2003-06-10 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Dear Ms. Priscilla
Thanks alot for your answer but the problem still remains there. The
explanation is as under:-

I don't think you have to be running a routing protocol to use Dialer
Watch. Routing protocol independent—Static routes or dynamic routing
protocols, such as Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP
(EIGRP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) can be used.
This is very true but you see by RP Independent it means that one can use
*any* Routing Protocols. As far as Static Routes are concerned, in that case
the interface to which that static route is pointing should go down so that
the router would remove that specific network from its Routing Table and the
dialer watch would initiate the backup link.

You see the basic criterea using Dialer Watch is as under:
1. Whenever a watched route is deleted, Dialer Watch checks to see if there
is at least one valid route for any of the defined watched IP addresses.

My problem is that my main Wireless Link never goes down and show the status
UP even when its not working. I am not using any routing protocol so the
only choice is to use Static Route. Now as the Wireless Link never goes down
the static network entry doesn't remove intself from the Routing table and
thus the backup link never initiates.

I suppose the best solution would be to use a routing protocol just btw the
sites so that I can watch for the network part.

I hope I have explained my problem to you. 

Thanks to all of you. If you can find any other solution then I would be
grateful. Thank You once again!

-Kenan

Bakup Interface with Wireless! [7:70410]

2003-06-09 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Hey!
I have a branch office connected with a Wireless Link. I want to configure
my ISDN link(which can also connect to the same branch office) as a Backup
Interface with the wireless link.

The problem which I am facing is that when my Wireless link goes down, it
doesn't show line protocol down and the line is up, line protocol is up
is always there even when the Wireless link is not working. Therefore my
backup ISDN interface never comes up.

I would really appreciate any help/suggestions in this regard. Thanx alot in
advance!

cheers,
-Kenan

PDM for PIX [7:69852]

2003-05-30 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Hi there,
I have a PIX 515E. I am trying to use PDM on it. The configuration is IOS
version 6.0 and PDM version 1.0. The client is Windows 2000 with IE 6.0 and
all the service packs intalled. When I try connecting to the PIX via the
browser, somehow it just doesn't work. Everything else seems to be okay. PIX
is configured to accept PDM connections from the client. Any suggestions how
to fix it? Is there some encryption or something that needs to be
enabled/disabled?

TIA,

Kenan

Boson Router Simulator [7:63395]

Hi there,
I had heard about Boson Router Simulator for a long time now. Having not
much to do, I decided to give it a try. The evaluation version seems to be
much slower than the actual thing.
What I need to know is that is the software worth the investment? Or should
I just go for proper hands-on only? Any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers,

Kenan

PIX firewall simultaneous connections [7:62575]

Hello groupies,
I was reading the PIX book and it apparently said that the no. of connection
supported by a PIX firewall (higher order) is 500,000. Does this mean that
upto 500,000 sessions can be established or something else? If so, what do I
do if I have a thoroughput of say 2 million users? Thanks in adv.

RE: CCNP BOOKS [7:61303]

2003-01-18 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Hello,
You can download the supplements from the Cisco site itself. For eg, they
have the supplement for BSCN book, which features IS-IS. So download it and
use that. The link to the site of course is www.cisco.com and search for the
missing topic.
As for the exam, I would suggest to definitely print out the course outline
first and make sure you have covered all the topics. If you think something
is missing in the old book, just get it off the site. There is more material
on the site than you would need for the paper. But it is definitely very
comprehensive and handy too.

Cheers,

Kenan

RE: Switching Exam [7:60934]

2003-01-18 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Hi there,
First of all, sorry for the late reply. I have been really busy with other
committments. Secondly, I was really upset to hear you couldn't clear the
BCMSN exam. I just got a few tips which I used to study. Maybe they might
work for you as well.

1. Underline/highlight the important points
2. Practice everything very thoroughly
3. Write on the top of your book Everything is difficult before it is easy!

Trust me, I had a tough time myself trying to grasp the concepts. But one
you get them, it is not really that though. Sometimes, you might feel that
the material is not enough so refer to the Cisco site for help on things
like BackboneFast etc. But overall, it is really not that tough. Go through
the whole book thoroughly 2 or 3 times and underline/highlight all the major
points for constant review. Also, keep a printout of the exam outline with
you and mark the topics as you cover them to be sure nothing is left out.
Best of luck on your next attempt. I have faith you'll clear it this time...

Cheers,

Kenan

Hi there,
I suggest get 3 2600 series routers. Even though 2500 would also do, 2600
has some value added services which the 2500 don't offer. Just a thought! :)
There are other things needed which I am sure others will help you out with.
Good luck with your lab set-up.

CCNP - which paper to give next? [7:60735]

2003-01-09 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Hi there,
I am on my way to doing the CCNP certification. Having good hands-on, I
decided to attempt BCMSN first and then I did my CIT. Now, I having taken a
break, I want to move on to my next paper. I can't make up my mind whether I
should attempt BSCI or BCRAN next. I feel inclined towards BSCI 'cos routing
fascinates me more than remote access. However, I just want to know what you
guys think is the best way to go about it. From what I've heard, BCRAN
features some hard-to-do hands-on so I am probably leaving it aside for now.
Any help is greatly appreciated so thanks in advance! :)

RE: Please recommend some books for ccnp [7:60355]

2003-01-05 Thread Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi
Hi there,
COngratulations on clearing your CIT exam. My personal experience so far has
been that the best guides for the exams are the official Cisco books
themselves. Otherwise, a lot of books cover the same materials but I don't
know how much of a help they'd be.
As for the Foundations vs. individual papers, hmmm. The FRS paper is tougher
because you have to clear all the sections in one go and the no. of you
questions you are allowed to score incorrect is much more limited (per
subject). Also, FRS paper requires extensive studying. So, if you think you
can manage all 3 in one go...go ahead! :) But otherwise, play it safe and
take one at a time. All depends on how much you know.
Good luck with the rest. Take care.

Cheers,

Kenan

Hi there,
Yes I have cleared BCMSN and CIT. I do have a solid grounding in both but I
myself don't feel too good about BSCI (especially after IS-IS) so I think I
will try my luck with BCRAN. I have hands-on experience so I don't think
there should be much of a problem. Besides, I will study before appearing
for the test. Am counting on the official course book and Boson so will keep
you guys posted as to what turns out.
