OT: Wise moves...? [7:4495]
Hi Group, Have a couple of questions for you. I am out of work right now (contractor) and am having trouble finding work (market is horrible in my eyes). I have my CCNP, CCDA. I was going to finish up my CCDP by taking the CID but just stopped studying for it. Well, recently I got re-motivated and decided I would get back to the books, even if I didn't find work. I'm not sure I want to go for the CID though. With my concerns on finding work, I have had some thoughts on getting into voice specializations. From what I know these are what's hot right now and maybe I should go for this instead of the CCDP. I'm basically asking what your thoughts are on this decision. Also, I'm wondering what books I should read up for the test. I will probably read 3 books for this because I want to more than just pass the test, I want to understand it. I figured I would look for these 3 types of books: 1. A book that's easy to read (less tech talk, more Layman's) 2. A book that's very techy (like a Cisco-press one) 3. A book that talks about all aspects of voice. If anybody has any ideas, please let me know. Also, let me know if you think I'm going the right way. Thanks all, Mark Z. ~ CCNP, CCDA I feel like technologies interpretation of a starving artist.

Frame Relay backup issue (resolved) [7:4067]
Hey All, Got the job finished for the site today. While working I broke it down. There were 2 remote sites that kept having the problems of the neighbor dropping and using the other PVC to route. I tried all the things I said last night and nothing worked. I had a headache and was about to give up when I noticed something. Their whole network is subnetted 255.255.255.252...so why, on the only 2 sites that had problems, was their subnet 255.255.255.0? Hmmm, somebody give it the good old fat-finger? ;) I changed the addresses over and the neighbors stayed up past the usual 1:20 and they didn't drop again. That also explained to me why the neighbor relationship would drop but the frame pvc wouldn't (layer 2). Problem solved. Now I'm out of work again, lol, thanks for all of your help guys, it's appreciated. Mark Z.

Re: Frame Relay backup issue...(thanks) [7:3686]
What might a resolution be for this or could you point me to where I can find this? Would I have to allocate more bandwidth? Mark Z. - Original Message - From: Erick B. To: Mark Z. ; Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 2:24 AM Subject: Re: Frame Relay backup issue...(thanks) [7:3686] Another possibility... If they are using a dv routing protocol such as RIP and every now and then they push alot of traffic across frame, perhaps some routing updates are not making it across causing the route to go away and the router to use floating/alternate route over ISDN. I've seen this happen with RIP with heavy traffic. Hope this helps... Erick --- Mark Z. wrote: Thanks for the help E. I have a feeling that it might be a backup load issue that I'll have to fix.

Frame Relay backup issue (clearer understanding) (long) [7:3953]
Hi Everyone, I know i didnt give many specs on my previous question but thats because today was my first time out at the site. Here's what's going on there and i believe I have the answer now for tomorrow. They have 2 routers in the core (A=primary, B=backup). They have 18 remote sites, most of which are cisco and there are a few remote nu-bridges (never heard of these). My concern is with the cisco's for now. This is how they have it set up. Each site has a primary PVC going to core_A, and has a backup PVC going to core_B. I learned that the secondary is actually not a backup PVC, but it is always up, so if the primary fails then that one is still good and info will be sent to core_B and then from that to the destination of core_A. They are using EIGRP as the routing protocol. Now, what the issue here is: Some of the cisco branches are using the backup PVC initially, even though the primary PVC is not down, basically causing unnecesary traffic in between the 2 cores and taking 2 hops instead of one to core_A. I got some help tonight and was told that this was more than likely a path selection issue and setting the metrics to make the primary PVC the more feasable route should do the trick. Also, I was told that I could basically set the bandwidth statements for the 2 PVC's and make the primary's higher, therefor making it the most feasable route... Also, when doing a show ip eigrp neighbors command on one of the trouble branches, I noticed this: Where the uptime for the neighbor connection is, the Backup neighbor connection (pvc) would say up for like 5 weeks, and the Primary neighbor connection (pvc) would keep bouncing every 3 minutes or so (not the frame pvc...it's always up, but the neighbor connection bounces). I was told that i should check out the hello timers and make sure that they are all alike throughout the eigrp network. Sorry this one was so long guys, I just noticed that a couple of people took interest. If anybody has anything to add please feel free. Themore i go in there tomorrow with the better. I have this bad feeling that all of the above will be set correctly on the devices and I'm gonna be sitting there with my head in my ass wondering what's next ;) Have a good one all, and thanks, Mark Z. ~ CCNP, CCDA (slowly realizing what it feels like to be a paper CCNP...but working to change that) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=3953t=3953 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: CCNP 1.0 [7:3733]
From what I know you are fine. As long as you took the 2 1.0's when they were valid (well apparently), you can still finish the CCNP with the next 2 tests...and don't worry about the CCNA. I got my CCNP 2.0 while holding an NA 1.0...Good luck with the tests, Mark Z ~ CCNP, CCDA I have taken ACRC CMTD exams. Now that these old exams are expired do I have to take all 4 new exams to be CCNP or can I just take two new exams still be CCNP. I am CCNA 1.0 certified. Is it still valid or do I have to take new exam for CCNA also..? thanks, patterson __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
