Re: How to become a CCSI [7:1362]

2001-04-20 Thread Richard Deal

To everyone thinking about becoming a CCSI:

Yes, this is acceptable (I'm a CCSI--96045); however, there are some points
that should be made in addition to this:

* You need a training partner to sponsor you--this means, in all likelyhood,
that you will have to become an employee and you won't be making much money

* You will have to put your dues in...probably for a couple of years, before
you can go out on your own as a contract instructor.

* There are a ton of contract instructors (and employee instructors) for
classes like the ICND and BSCN. To really set yourself apart, you need to
specialize in something, like BCMSN, CATM, MCNS (or any of the new security
classes), etc.

Too many times students get these big puppy dog eyes when I tell them what
contractors can make in this business--most don't realize that to make that
kind of money, you will have to put in your dues for a couple of years AND
YOU WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL In this business, there are no easy roads to
networking heaven.

And even if you get your CCSI, you must be able to teach. All too often I
see a revolving door at various trainging partners. They bring someone in,
get them certified (maybe), and then the person fails miserably when it
comes to actually teaching the course content. I can remember one training
partner that I worked for that, over a period of two years, only had ONE
employee become a successful instructor, after going through more than 15
candidates. This is definitely a tough business and not for the faint of
heart. :-)  You have to know the material cold. Cisco and the training
partner will closely monitor your evaluations after each class. Cisco
requires at least an average of 4.2 (out of 5) while many training parters
are much more strict (4.5 out ot 5). If students ask you questions and you
must continually tell them you'll have to look it up (and I've seen many
cases like this), then as an instructor, you won't survive in this business
very long.

Hope this helps...and good luck to those that are really serious about
trying this!!!

Enjoy!

Re: Typo [7:2011]

2001-04-25 Thread Richard Deal

Jennifer,

Either one will do. However, I have experienced a minor annoyance depending
on the software release: when you change the SC0's interface VLAN, it does
not automatically start using it until you either a) reboot the switch or b)
execute the "set int sc0 up" command--the latter is the more preferrable. I
haven't experienced this
problem lately (version 5.x code), but have experienced it in 2.x and 3.x
code--I don't remember with 4.x

Hope this helps.

Enjoy!

The test covers the IOS of the 1900 series and the set-based interface of
the 5000 series--the IOS interface of the XL and 5000 is NOT covered.

And yes, there are some significant differences between the IOS of the 1900
and XL series, as you have found out.

Re: ATM question [7:4452]

2001-05-14 Thread Richard Deal

Actually, this is a very common practice with carriers--they sell you a pipe
of so many Kbps and it's up to you how you want to carve it up. They set up
one VC in side their network and they switch all cells with the same VPI
value to the appropriate destination. This gives you a lot of flexibility.
If you want to set up two VCs with two distinct traffic contracts to ensure
that two protocols, say, for instance IP and IPX, do not step on each
others' toes, you can do this. If the carrier would have set up a channel
instead of a path, they would have to set up a separate VC--more management
on their part.

In your case, however, I would take one precaution--don't use VCI values
less than 32 (0-31). These are reserved for management purposes. I've seen
some issues with the old Cascade switches where sometimes this would cause
problems with your VC--the Cascade switch, instead of passing them
transparently through the network, tried to process them, causing the
customer all kinds of problems.

Hope this helps!

Enjoy!

It's the 1900 switch that uses case-insensitive passwords. The routers, ATM

Re: ISDN [7:5081]

2001-05-19 Thread Richard Deal

Gerri,

Unfortunately, you'd either have to buy real ISDN circuits; or buy a
simulator. The unfortunate part is that simulators are a bit expensive. For
a brand-new two-port U BRI simulator, you're talking about $1,800. Your best
bet is to buy them used, for instance, at www.ebay.com. Sometimes you get
get a good deal, but expect to fork over about $1,000. Everyone in the
CCNP/CCIE hunt is looking for one. :-) Teltone makes a very nice one. I
really like their 4-port model where you have 2-U and 2-S/T interfaces.

Good luck!!!

Re: why isn't PNNI more popular, esp. for telcos? [7:5098]

2001-05-19 Thread Richard Deal

Most telcos use the proprietary protocol of their WAN ATM switches. Cisco's
WAN switches, BPX, MGX, and IGX, use autorouting--proprietary. However, you
can buy PNNI for them for a few bucks more. My guess is that most carriers
that sell ATM services, for the most part, sell PVC-based solutions. I don't
see that many companies buying SVCs (for ATM) from carriers; and therefore,
PNNI and routing interoperability is not a big deal. I teach the CATM class
and one thing I really like is the PNNI protocol on the LS1010's--it makes
my life very easy in an SVC environment--a no brainer.

Enjoy!

Re: ATM in Lab [7:5319]

2001-05-21 Thread Richard Deal

If all you're interested in is PVCs, then this is fine. If you want to do
SVCs, you'll need an ATM switch. The LS1010 is probably out of your price
range--they go for $3k-5k on ebay. A LS100 is a better bet--you should be
able to get this for $500. It's not the same CLI as the LS1010, but you can
build PVCs, it will support SVCs, and it will do SoftPVCs.

Enjoy!

Re: STP commands [7:6871]

2001-06-02 Thread Richard Deal

Dear Hunt,

1 & 3 apply to all VLANs on the respective ports--all VLANs are treated the
same. Commands 2 and 4 allow you to change the values on a per-VLAN basis,
treating each VLAN differently.

Hope this helps!

Re: Vlans - maximum no of devices [7:8128]

2001-06-12 Thread Richard Deal

To all,

In Cisco's BCMSN class, they make the comment of "254". I think that Cisco
chose this number is because that most people use a "/24" mask for
subnetting. In BOTH of Cisco's design classes, this is the recommendation:
* IP= 500
* IPX = 300
* AT  = 200
* Mixed = 200

I think that the design classes make a more accurate guestimate, at least
I've seen this true from my consulting experience. However, EVERY network is
DIFFERENT--what works for one network won't work for another. I had one
customer that had 1,800 devices in the SAME broadcast domain--everything was
bridged, not routers. When I first heard this, I didn't believe it.
Actually, their network "kind of" worked. For 30 seconds traffic would go
through, and the next 30 seconds they'd have a broadcast storm. It was
pretty funny. Of course, they realized one day that when they added another
machine to the network, it broke the cycle, and then they decided to
redesign their network with routers (which was why I was there).

Enjoy!

Wrong!

What about this? 172.16.2.0 255.255.254.0--this has 510 hosts in it.

CSPM 2.3i and NT versus 2000 [7:35980]

2002-02-20 Thread Richard Deal

I'm about to run a trial of CSPM 2.3i for some IDS sensors that I have. I
noticed in the release notes that this version of the product only runs on
Windows NT 4.0; however, I  --REALLY-- would like to run this on Windows 200
server.

Has anyone had any success on running this on Windows 2000 server? If so,
what SP were you using for W2000 server? and what other things did you have
to do to get it up and running? Any of the functionality of 2.3i that you
couldn't get to function?

Thanks for the info!!!

Re: Embryonic connections [7:38451]

2002-03-15 Thread Richard Deal

Steve,

An embryonic connection is a half-open connection. Take TCP, for example.
With TCP, it goes through a three-way handshake (3 exchanges): SYN, SYN/ACK,
ACK. An example of an embryonic connection for TCP would be to see a SYN
without the other two parts of a handshake. This is a very popular form of a
Denial of Service (DoS) attack where a hacker floods a service with TCP
SYNs. Many firewall solutions, including the PIX and the IOS Firewall
feature set have mechanisms to deal with this kind of attack.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Tim,

I have worked with Larry in the past before--he was the first person that I
knew of that had developed a 5-day BGP class. At this time Global Knowledge
had a 3-day one and Cisco didn't even have one. Having taught for many
years, when I saw Larry teach, I knew, hands-down, that he was the best
instructor that I had ever seen. You'll really like him and you'll really
enjoy the BGP class he developed. If I recall correctly, each BGP router pod
has 5 routers which you and a classmate will share. If you are planning for
the CCIE, this is a must-have class!

One thing that surprised me about your post was that Computer Data was
sponsoring the class--Larry used to do his teaching through IMS in Atlanta.
I've had problems with IMS in the past (ie, them not paying me money they
owed me) and Larry probably ran into the same thing. If you take the class,
please tell Larry I said "hi!" and I'd be curious to find out what he's up
to.

Best of luck Time!

Re: diffie-hellman clarification [7:28438]

2001-12-07 Thread Richard Deal

You're both right--there are two types of man-in-the-middle attacks that can
occur--one is with the initial connection. DH does not provide identity
validation--therefore, you might think your setting up a connection to your
remote site when it is really a man-in-the-middle that you're setting it up
with. To solve this, you can use a Certificate Authority to validate the
remote's identity.

The second problem is when the connection is set up to the "real"
destination, but there is still a "man-in-the-middle" peeking at all of your
traffic. Through the DH key exchange, even though the man-in-the-middle sees
the public keys that are shared, it doesn't see the private keys, nor the
new "secret" key derived from the remote's public and your private.

Hope this helps

Happy holidays!

Re: Cisco PIX firewall book [7:33216]

2002-01-25 Thread Richard Deal

Sam,

The book is pretty much a direct port from the CSPFA 2.0 class. The new
class, 2.1, is now out and it does have some minor changes. One that I
remember is that 2.0 talks a lot about WebSense but 2.1 doesn't.

I was somewhat disappointed with this book, considering that the MCNS book
was a pretty good book. I expected the book to be about 500 pages but it
comes in at about 350 pages.

Hope this helps!

Enjoy!

requires you to configure AAA.

Re: CSPFA 3.0 Study Material [7:64214]

2003-03-04 Thread Richard Deal
John,

Thanks for the kudos. I wrote the book with the PIX exam in the back of my
mind, but my foremost concern was having a reader going away with real
working knowledge on how to set up the PIX. There are two minor objectives
for the exam that I don't cover--multicasting and shunning on the PIX. You
might want to read up on these for your test preparation. I'm hoping that
I'll have time in the next couple of weeks to add this info to my web site.

Cheers!

Re: Help Pix 501 [7:64278]

2003-03-04 Thread Richard Deal
Juan,

The PIX does not permit you to telnet into it from the "outside"
interface--this is a security feature. There are two solutions available:
SSH and a VPN. My recommendation is to go the hard route and set up a remote
access VPN connection to the PIX--SSH has been shown recently to have some
vulnerabilities.

Cheers!

No, the PIX cannot block email SPAM. It can help filter web content
information, but requires a third party product, like WebSense or Sentian to
assist. You'll need to find another solution than the PIX.

Re: PIX Question [7:65095]

2003-03-12 Thread Richard Deal
Manny,

Yes, you can limit the maximum number of connections to a device and the
maximum number of half-open (embryonic) connections. This is done with the
NAT command, at least in your case, since the connections are going from
high-to-low security levels. The NAT command allows you to specify these two
parameters. You'll need to be careful as to what you set them to, otherwise
you might be preventing legitimate connections. By the way, the defaults for
these values is the limit of your connection license, so as you have seen,
an internal user could easily (purposefully or not) create a DoS attack and
paralyze your network.

Cheers!

I hate to burst the bubble, but the current BSCI test includes IS-IS. I'm
not sure about the new foundation exam, since I couldn' find when this was
updated, but the BSCI exam was updated within the last 6 months, so I'm
assuming you'll find IS-IS on it.

Was this NAT or PAT?

If PAT, and the client kept on trying to open up new connections, the source
port would probably be different for each, thus a new xlate in the
translation table.

Re: Mentor Technologies... Bankrupt? [7:23274]

2001-10-18 Thread Richard Deal

To all,

I have no specifics to add about this, except to make a point about this
vlab thing--I know of MANY training parters that bought into this from Cisco
and got slammed because of the complete lack of demand on virtual training.
I think Cisco saw this vision of distance learning taking over the training
business and pushed a lot of their training partners to get into this game.
What Cisco didn't take the time to look at is that universities and colleges
have been looking at this for years. Now if these long-lived institutions
couldn't pull it off (not because of technology, but because of user's
perceptions), did Cisco think they could? Most people that are going to pay
$2,000 for training want the equipment in front of them to touch and feel it
and they want direct interaction with other people, ESPECIALLY the
instructor--making a phone call to some one in support when you have a
question in a vlab is counter-productive--you spend more time on the phone
than you do actually using the material. Plus, in an instructor-led
environment, you learn things that are NOT in the course and book and you
also learn about things other companies are doing by talking to the other
students in the class.

All of this sounds so basic, but many of the training partners got skinned
on this one...some are even filing for bankruptcy...since to do this vlab
and elearning stuff, you need to develop the materials, buy all of the
hardware, and develop a delivery mechanism...and that cost A LOT of money. I
was even asked by one of the training partners to get into this thing by
investing $50K. I thought about it for a few minutes, realized that no one
else pulled it off before this based on my previous remarks, and nicely
declined them.

So not only are training partners hurting like hell because of low
enrollment in their classes, but many of them are at the brink of death
because of very poor business decisions...

just my 2 cents ;-)

Enjoy!

Re: "QuizWare" vs. "Boson" [7:26361]

2001-11-15 Thread Richard Deal

To all,

I'm an author for QuizWare for Cisco tests and I can say that ALL my tests
have COMPLETELY different questions than Boson. The test engine used by
QuizWare is the same engine that Boson uses. Actually, QuizWare is a channel
partner of Boson. QuizWare caters, for the most part, to authors that want
to develop customized tests. Boson restricts their test prices to $39.95 and
the number of questions per test to about 200. QuizWare has no such
restriction, so an author could charge $1,000 per test and put 10,000
questions in it. The tests that I have written for QuizWare have at least
500 questions each and only cost $49.95. Plus, I have a special of buy 3,
get the 4th free.

Hope this helps!

Arni,

I believe the throughput of the 800 series is about 384Kbps when doing
encryption, so you might want a bigger router.

Re: Pix questions [7:57686]

2002-11-19 Thread Richard Deal
Ramesh,

As to routing, the PIX will forward packets from one interface to another,
but you have to do certain things to accomplish this:
>From higher security level to lower, you need nat and global commands; from
lower to higher, you need static and access-list commands.

Fro external people accessing the DMZ, you also need a static command, and I
assume that you have applied the ACL to the PIX's outside interface.

As to the inside interface accessing the DMZ, you'll need to set up a nat
and global command set (or use nat 0 to disable NAT between the two
networks).

Arni,

Thanks for the kudos!

Just do a search on Cisco's web site for "+router +encryption +throughput".
Unfortunately, the only place I've ever seen this information brought
together was Cisco's official course material (like the CSVPN coursebook).
Hope this helps.

Re: pix vpn [7:57740]

2002-11-20 Thread Richard Deal
Ciaron,

You know, I've been impatiently waiting for the same feature. When I teach
classes that are remote for Boson, we use a 3002 and a router. I need to set
up a GRE tunnel and then encrypt this tunnel. And because this stuff
typically goes through a firewall, I need a TCP VPN connection. It would be
great if Cisco's routers supported this feature; then I could get read of
the 3002 and 3005 and just use two routers as the endpoints of the
connection. If anyone knows if/when Cisco has plans for adding this feature
to their routers and PIXs, I'm sure quite a few people would be interested
in this information.

Cheers

Actually, Mark, I'm one step ahead of you :-). My PIX book came out at the
end of October from McGraw-Hill/Osborne. I wrote it as a non-certification
book, but it covers everything you'd see on the new PIX exam. You can check
out a free chapter on Osborne's web site:
http://shop.osborne.com/cgi-bin/osborne/0072225238.html (watch the wrap!).

I also have some extra stuff on my web site that I couldn't fit in the book

Mark,

Thanks for ordering my book. Actually, I was in discussion with McGraw-Hill,
Syngress and CiscoPress and all three wanted me to publish a book on the
PIX. CiscoPress wanted me to do a certification book and I wanted to do a
stand-alone book. I was leary about going with Syngress since they're a
small publisher and my last small publisher, The Coriolis Group, went
belly-up earlier this year. Let me know what you think about my book--good
and bad :-). Also, make sure you take advantage of the stuff that I couldn't
fit into the book by visiting my web site.

Re: CSS1/CCSP [7:58241]

2002-12-01 Thread Richard Deal
Shahid,

Unlike the CiscoPress book which omits this very important configuration
component, I've spent some time in by book about dealing with multiple
interfaces as it relates to address translation AND filtering, like ACLs and
conduits. Probably one of the most difficult configuration tasks on a PIX is
dealing with a PIX with muliple interfaces, especially when it comes to
address translation. So I definitely spent some time talking about these
topics and how to configure your PIX in this situation. Hope this helps. If
you have any other questions, don't hesitate to holler.

Cheers!

To all,

I have the same problem with my 501 at home--the power connector that Cisco
developed is junk. Just touching the power connector (seated into the PIX)
usually causes it to have conniptions.

Re: Resricicting Certain Users -Pix 515 UR [7:58861]

2002-12-12 Thread Richard Deal
To all,

WebSense, and N2H2 (in 6.2), are good solutions if you want to filter web
CONTENT--if you have a statitic list of sites, then using an ACL will do the
job. Another solution, especially if you have roaming users and their IPs
are assigned via DHCP, is to use Cut-Through proxy--with this solution, the
user must authenticate BEFORE you allow the connection going out. This gives
you per-group control on who access what. This can be used for traffic in
BOTH directions on the PIX.

Cheers!

Re: PIX DHCP problem [7:60893]

2003-01-12 Thread Richard Deal
To all,

Use the "show route" command to see if you received the default route. One
configuration mistake that you might have made with the "ip address" command
is omitting the optional "setroute" parameter at the end. This parameter
accepts and uses the default route received from the ISP. The command should
look like this:
>> ip address outside dhcp setroute

Also, remember that if you are pinging THROUGH the PIX from the inside
interface, you must have an ACL on the outside interface allowing the
returning ICMP traffic: ICMP traffic is NOT stateful in the PIX.

You can also use the following debug command to help troubleshoot (assuming
you have 6.2):
>> [no] debug dhcpc detail|error|packet

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Re: Richard A. Deal Books [7:62027]

2003-01-28 Thread Richard Deal
Mark,

Thanks for the kudos. I worked really hard on the book and I know, after
having written 6 books, that you can't please everyone. However, of all of
the books that I've written, I'm proudest of this book. Yes, there are some
errors that slipped in during my last review of the book and when it went to
production, which does, unfortunately, happen. But as I discover these, I
put them on my web site.

As to my MCNS book, which is what the first poster asked, I had finished it,
but before it went to print, the publisher (The Coriolis Group) went out of
business. Since the MCNS has changed, I've decided not to create a new book.
I'm getting a contract this week to write a CCNA book for McGraw-Hill and
have been desparately trying to convince them to write a Cisco VPN book--one
that covers ALL aspects of VPNS with Cisco products--PIX, router,
concentrator, and their software clients.

If you have any questions about my PIX book, please don't hesitate in
shooting me an email. Thanks for your support!

Cheers!

Re: Richard A. Deal Books [7:62027]

2003-01-29 Thread Richard Deal
GM,

It depends :-). First, you typically get an advance. This varies, but can be
between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on the subject (how hot it is) and the
previous track record of the author. This money counts against any royalties
that you make...which is why they call it an "advance". You then get
royalties. Royalties are based on net profit of the book.

As an example, if a book says it costs $50 on the cover, this is considered
gross profit. Net profit is what the publisher gets for the book. The
publisher typically marks the book up by about 50%. This can vary depending
on whether the book is hard or soft-bound, includes CDs, and its page
length, as well as other things. So net profit on a $50 book is about $25.
You get a percentage of the $25. Royalties can range anywhere from a very
low 5% up to about %18 percent. Sometimes this is on a sliding scale. For
instance, it might be that you get 8% for selling 5,000 copies and between
5,000 and 10,000 you get 10% and for anything above 10,000 copies, you get
%12. As an example, if your percentage is 10% on a net profit of $25 a book,
you only get $2.50 a book.

Most technical writers don't get rich selling technical books. Most
publishers are looking for average sales of 500 copies a month. So given
$2.50 a book, you just make $1,250 for that month. Of course, if you had an
advance of $10,000, this money goes to paying off the advance. So you might
not see any real money until about 9 months later. A really hot topic
typically sells more than 1,000 or 2,000 copies a month, but this doesn't
happen too often. Of course, you might get really lucky, like Todd Lammle
did when he came out with his first CCNA book. Rumor is that he sold over
250,000 copies in 18 months...talk about nice royalty checks :-).

I got into the writing business by accident. In my first marriage, I was
paying a lot of alimony and didn't have any spending money :-(. This is when
Cisco's certifications were taking off. Since I taught these classes, and
had a minor in English, I thought, hey, what the heck. It will at least give
me some money to travel a bit. So my first contract was with the Coriolis
Group to write a Cisco Switching book for Cisco's switching exam.

Writing isn't for everyone. Constantly I get asked how easy is it, or how
can even begin to write a book? Typically, I can get a first proof of the
book done in 3-4 months, which is about 600-700 pages. It takes persistence.
There are many a day when I don't feel like working at it. When I was
writing my first book, I was under a lot of stress--working during the day
and then writing 3-4 hours every night. And then writing every weekend.
Today, my schedule is much more flexible

Cheers!

ARe: PIX and asymmetry [7:62100]

2003-01-29 Thread Richard Deal
Jamie,

Not quite...what you can do, however, is have all traffic go through one PIX
and have another PIX as a failover. In this scenario, if one PIX would fail,
the other could kick in--in this scenario, only one PIX is active. Of
course, this still presents a problem of an exit path--by default, the
active PIX would choose its defalt route and thus you would lose load
balancing out your two exit points. The PIX does support passive RIP, so
this might help. Or you could configure static routes...but you would,
unfortuantely, not have any ability to route based on the source of the
address--only your Cisco routers have this ability. And perhaps in the
upcoming 6.3 release, OSPF might be introducted (--might--), but don't hold
your breath.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Re: VPN tunnel with IPSec over GRE [7:54634]

2002-10-01 Thread Richard Deal

It's probably an MTU problem.

I have an IPSec connection being tunneled via GRE, which in turn, is
tunneled by another IPSec connection. Don't ask why I'm doing this :-) But
we had to set the MTU down to 1320 to prevent fragmentation, and thus
performance, issues.

In your case, you might want to try using the extended ping with the "no
fragment" option to determine which MTU size will work in your situation.

Re: BSMSN 1.1 Vs 2.0 [7:71932]

2003-07-05 Thread Richard Deal
David,

No, the course has completely changed. The switches are different--3550s and
2950s. Most of the content is different, including topics like new enhanced
STP features, CEF, VRRP, queuing and prioritization, metro and optical, and
many other topics. I'd definitely take the newer version since, in the 1.1
course, you'll probably get a 5500 with an RSM to to multilayer switching
and this is an EOLed product; plus the 1.1 class covers the CatOS--the 2.0
covers the IOS, which is the direction Cisco is pushing.

2003-07-22 Thread Richard Deal
There is a new exam, called SECUR. With this exam, no PIX stuff is
covered--only router stuff. I would definitely look at the objectives for
the exam, since there is a bunch of new stuff, like Authentication proxy,
IDS, and other stuff.

Cheers!

Huge differences.

I'm just finishing my Exam Cram book for Que Publishing on the new exam, and
there is probably a 50-70% change in material. Out of all of the CCNP exams,
this one definitely changed the most. MLS is completely revamped--CEF; new
enhancements to STP--RSTP and other stuff; IOS configurations instead of
CatOS (with few exceptions); new hardware; Metro Ethernet; tons of stuff on
802.1Q; Queuing techniques and IP telephony; new security stuff--VACLs and
PVLANs, and many other things.

In other words, studying the 604 material is not near enough for the new
exam.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
