From cisco's home page go to training cert then go to tracking system and have fun.

Re: linux on a 2500 ? Was: Programming under IOS
Well I've watched this thread for a couple of days and hoped someone else would find the right answer (I didn't feel like digging). I knew I had seen something about this on my local Linux user group list several months ago. Unfortunately I couldn't find it in my mail archives, bookmarks, general web searches or elsewhere. After asking my local LUG for help and then some more searching, here is the link to the uclinux-cisco project (uclinux is a project for running linux on embedded system, uclinux-cisco is a port to the cisco platform, 2500 series mostly) There is source (~56MG) and several percompiled binaries. http://www.mcvax.org/~koen/uClinux-cisco2500/ Neat idea, and I do want to play with some of the precompiles kernels, but I really have to ask myself, WHY? What is the problem being solved by running linux on such an expensive (for what you get) platform? Any ideas, the web site seemed lacking in this kind of info. Oh well, some of the most enjoyable things are done just for the hell of it.

Trouble copy flash to TFTP, source file not found (Learn to type stupid)
I am still sending this message as it may help someone else sometime Hello, I am having trouble copying the IOS from my 2501 to my TFTP server (Cisco's NT server). The TFTP server is up and working, I can copy configs in both directions. When I try to copy the flash from the 2501 to the tftp server, I enter in the source file name, and then either accept the same name on the TFTP server or change it (changed in the following example). I should be able to copy from the flash no matter what, right? --- Opps --- Just found my own answer, I think. I just copied the file name from a show ver (should work from anywhere the file name is displayed), into the clipboard and then 'pasted to host' from hyperterminal. Worked just fine. I wonder what I was mistyping. Oh just found it, I was typing a one instead of an 'L' here igs-ir-l When I pasted the commands into my email client i could see the difference between the L and one, in Hyperterminal I couldn't tell the difference (I just checked again, whatever font is used in Hyperterminal the little 'L' and the 'one' are exactly the same, D*MN them) Oh well Moral of the story, Watch your typing, your fonts, and copy filenames if needed.

Int E0 trouble shooting
Hello, In my last message 'Thanks for the Archives' I mentioned that I had found the answer to my E0 'line protocol down' problem. Well I lied, although turning off keepalive with the command 'no keepalive' under the E0 interface gives the 'line protocol up' message, the interface isn't really working, seems no keepalive is good if you don't have anything to plug the router into. I had the AUI transceiver connected to my no name 10/100 switch. The tranceiver (LanArt)was showing link down (1 blink). I decided to plug it into my 1924 switch and it works fine. Made up a crossover cable and connected the 1924 to the no-name 10/100 and it works fine, also. I can connect from either the 10/100 uplink (25-26) or the regular 10MG ports (1-24) Why will the 1924 talk to the no name, but the 2501 won't? Is it possible something with the transceiver (I guess I could try the the same transceiver on the AUI port on the 1924 later)? Some other misc. questions I made up an ethernet loopback plug (RJ-45 with pins 1-3, 2-6) and plugged it into the transceiver on the 2501, still couldn't get the line up. Unplug the transceiver and plug it back in (resetting it) and it works, line protocol up. AUI transceiver loopback I read about this beast in the archives, anyone know of a pinout? Can it be used in place of a transceiver and a ethernet loopback?

Thanks for the Archives (was to be-E0 line protocol down)
Thank you for the archives. I was just playing with my new 2501 and was having a problem with the line protocol being down. Looked through my books, looked on Cisco's site, couldn't find the answer (I'm sure it's on Cisco's site I just couldn't find it). Wrote a message asking for help, but before sending, I remembered the archives. Can't ask for help without trying there, can I? Searched on 'line protocol down' and found my answer in about the fourth message I viewed. 'no keepalives'. Doh! So this message is just a thank you and a reminder to check the archives before posting for help, the answer may already be in there.

HOWTO: Make your own Cisco console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9/DB-25)
re twisted enough to fit into the solder cup. 10b. Heat the cup with the iron and insert wire(s). 10c. Repeat until done. DB-9 color code 1 Org 2 W/G 3 Grn 4 W/Brn 5 Blu and W/Blu 6 N/A 7 Brn 8 W/O 9 N/A 11. Check cable: another visible check, then plug it in and see if it works 11a. If the cable works, put the hood on (if you have one) 11b. Uniquely label the cable, both ends. It may not seem like a big deal now, but it sure is nice when you have several routers terminating in the same place to be able to identify which cable goes to each device. Even if your label is only a serial number such as 1001, 1002, etc. you will be able to trouble shoot cabling problems without resorting to the old, tug the cable and see what moves routine (I've done enough of that in my life). 12. Enjoy :-) Hopefully I will get this on my web site soon. I hope this helps somebody, if there are any major problems, corrections or advice please let me know- Matt Wehland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a chance to buy 3 more 2500 at a very very good price, Well if that price is very, very good, buy them, use them, and then sell for a profit. You may find that they work just fine, and if the price is right $600us, then you should be able to make some $ off of them to buy bigger toys.

Re: Cisco Lab Tax Write Off
At 08:12 PM 2/14/01 -0500, you wrote: Are router's/switche's/isdn simulator's purchased for the home lab tax deductible. Also, are the ciscopress textbook's tax deductible expense. Is anyone else claiming these on the Federal Taxes? TIA Even if I can write them off, I wouldn't bother. I plan on selling off most of my equipment in the future, so all I'm keeping track of is initial cost, upgrades, and them price I get for them, so I don't get taxed on the 'Income' when I sell them. And since I don't see the equipment depreciating much while I own it (even for a year) I should be fine. If I were to write it off then I am stuck with the equipment. Even if I keep going for more Cisco cert, how many 2501/02's do I need? I would rather sell off some of the lower end equipment and buy higher end gear in the future. Now if I were starting a school/online rack/router rental, and planned on keeping the gear forever then I would look into write off's. How many people have keep the same equipment for more than a year? Seems like a lot of the routers (from student labs) I look at are being sold to finance newer labs, or people are just getting out of their labs altogether.

The first part of the book goes over the Cisco product line with pictures and diagrams so you get info on what the different models are and get so see what they look like. The next part is basic router stuff, configuring, loading IOS etc. The last part goes over configuring routing protocols, RIP, OSPF, IEGRP, BGP.
