Token Ring in home lab questions

2000-12-27 Thread Lori S Carter

Dug through the archives and found very little on setting up Token Ring in a home lab. 
I'm still confused. How is this done? Any good sites that I can go to find out this 
information? 

Among other equipment, I've got an SMC MAU, a Token Ring NIC installed in a PC, DB-9 
to RJ45 media filter, and a 2504. What type of cable do I need between the media 
filter on the router and the MAU? I know it's not a standard Cat 5 cable because Token 
Ring uses different pins than Ethernet. What about the cable between the PC and the 
MAU? The NIC card can handle either RJ-45 or DB-9.

On the MAU, there are two ports that are labeled RO and RI with small push button 
switches next to them to enable or disable "wrap". What are these for?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lori

PLCC tool and 4000M+ questions

2000-10-24 Thread Lori S Carter

1.)Does anybody know where I can get a PLCC (Plastic leaded chip carrier) extraction 
tool so I can replace the boot roms in some 2500's. Or is there another way of 
removing them without damaging them?

2.) Cisco's website and their technical staff claim that the 4000M+ can only handle 
8MB of flash memory (two slots that can each handle a 4MB flash module)even with 
upgraded boot roms installed. I find this hard to believe. Anybody ever upgraded the 
4000M+ with more than 8MB flash or is it even possible?

PLCC Tool, 4000M+ Flash questions

2000-10-24 Thread Lori S Carter

Let's try this again. I sent this once but it didn't make it for some reason. I have 
two questions. If anyone could answer them I would really appreciate it.

1.) I can't locate a PLCC (plastic leaded chip carrier) extraction tool to change some 
boot rooms in some 2500's. Where can I get one or what can I safely use in place of it?

2.) Cisco's website and tech support claim that the 4000M+ can only handle 8 MB of 
flash (4MB + 4MB in the slots). I find this hard to believe. Has anyone found out any 
differently? This 4000M+ has the latest boot roms.

Thanks,
Lori

Go to the site www.brobeck.com. They represent Cisco and other "big names" in stuff 
like this. Send an email to Michelle Falkoff. She's one of the lawyers who represent 
Cisco.

there's someone from Cisco who's responsible for monitoring Cisco-related

 Router A and Router B are configured to route IP to each other over a

Router Simulators

2000-09-03 Thread Lori S Carter

I searched the archives but found nothing on router simulators. Just curious if anyone 
has used them and if they're any good for CCNP preparation. I was out to the RouterSim 
site and it's tempting to purchase because you're able to configure about four routers 
and two switches. Any information would be appreciated.

Need Cisco cable source

2000-08-03 Thread Lori S Carter

I was lucky enough to get a Cisco 4000 and a 2501 from my brother-in-law to start up a 
lab! Without having to dig through the archives, can someone give me a good source for 
inexpensive Cisco cables? I want a source that explains the cables and what they're 
used for. I want to emulate Frame Relay between the two routers.
Thanks,
Lori

Ashish's subnet chart
Do not waste your time on the brian dumps that are out on the internet

1 hour a night and 8 hours on Saturdays for 7 weeks. The hard part was keeping
focused on the exam objectives and not diving down into detail that is not part
of the exam. I have used routers for years but never took the time to go
back and memorise the foundational stuff. I already have my MCNE but I need
to recertify by August 31and I will have passed the last MCSE test by the end of
September I hope. NEVER put stuff off till the last minute...
