New UK CCNP

2001-02-24 Thread WKelly

Yesterday I passed the last exam for the CCNP 2.0.
It took 8 months from start to finish -my job and marriage partner kept
interrupting :-)  And I used the knowledge I learned over the period in
my day job because I provide large-network tech support anyway.

The best brain twisters appear on this list, which has helped the
learning process even though it has caused a lot of doc searching, book
scanning,  and cursing too.
So thanks to all for the problem postings, good advice, useful links,
and moral support. and Natasha for her friday funnies.

For the past 5 years I've been providing server side support to
enterprise networks, frequently being told "There's nothing wrong with
the network". Being forced to prove there was led me down the CCNP
route... so thanks to them too :-)   Hopefully I'll now sit on that side
of the fence !

Regards
W Kelly

Re: MY CCNA TEST!!

2000-12-12 Thread WKelly

Jennifer

Did you find that as the test date got closer, you felt that you knew less and less? Or
open a study book you had read a hundred times and get the feeling it was all new ?

Overstudying can be more of a hindrance than a help. The first test is always the worst
one; you won't be any more nervous before the next test, but keep calm during the
buildup to it and the test itself.

Congrats

Re: Novell servers - rconsole list keeps changing

2000-10-31 Thread WKelly

If the Novell servers are 5.x using Pure IP, [no IPX] then you would need to load the
SCMD module to get a virtual IPX stack on the server. This module has different 
switches
on the command line, depending on whether it is connected to an IP/IPX/Both segment.
This should match the servers in the other segments. "Display Servers" on the console 
is
an IPX application - basically it will use SCMD to get the info it needs to display. If
all the servers are not running scmd then they will not all appear in the console
output. Novell's Appnotes are available freee on the website and discuss the design and
operation of SCMD, and SLP.

Also, for global visibility you should probably be implementing SLP with a Directory
Agent [DA]. The DA registers the services available for a configurable, given part of
the network. You run the DA on one server with other local servers pointing to it [use
slp.cfg in the sys:etc directory]. A DA can register services for itself, or for a
subnetwork. When you issue the Display SLP services command you should see a list of
servers and services that server knows about.

SCMD and SLP work to eliminate IPX RIP and SAP traffic. Previously, Netware advertised
all available services. In NW5, using SCMD and SLP, services must be requested. As 
usual
with Novell, this is very configurable - which means you can get better control of the
network traffic, and into a lot of grief very quickly if you don't understand it. :-)
The Appnotes will give you what you need to get it running.

BSCN Exam

2000-10-31 Thread WKelly

Passed Routing 2.0 today, thanks in part to info I got from the
questions on this site.

If your prepping for this; know BGP and EIGRP theory & focus on the
syntax of the set and show commands. You need to know the command syntax
and also the console prompt it should be entered from. You should also
be familiar with interpreting the effects of such commands when
presented with a few lines of config

Good luck.

Re: PIX, VPNs, Novell

2000-10-27 Thread WKelly

Is the Cisco client capable of NDS authentication ? Why eliminate BM at all?

BorderManager will work through a PIX, it depends on what BorderManager Services you
would need.  If you want to run BorderManager Proxy  the Cisco will need to pass 
traffic
on port 80. If you want to run VPN Services through the Cisco the Bordermanager Server
would have to have a Routable, Valid IP address and the Cisco Firewall can not be
running NAT - though this restriction may not apply with BM 3.6 due soon. For Client to
site VPN the Cisco needs to be able to pass UPD and TCP port 353, UDP port 2010 and TCP
port 213 with a protocol ID of 57.

Re: Pass-thru DMZ?

2000-09-20 Thread WKelly

A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is to protect your publicly reachable servers behind
the firewall. The difference between the more common scenario with two
interfaces and the DMZ, where you use three interfaces, is that the third
interface is a separate segment to which you connect your publicly reachable
servers. This includes for example your web server, mail server, dns and
others.

You can set up light filtering to your DMZ interface in addition to a more
rigorous filtering to the private interface. A DMZ will typically have -

- a public interface, which connects to an ISP
- a private interface, which connects to your Internal LAN
- a DMZ interface, which connects to a separate segment where your publicly
reachable servers are.

Re: Fw: All CCNA 2.0 & CCNP 2.o Beta Questions - FREE

2000-09-15 Thread WKelly

Guys

The best practice is surely to write your own questions based on the
course text. You will find in order to frame the questions, you need to
know the answers and therefore the subject. And as Frank mentioned, test
questions then become irrelevant. I've tried this on 14 Prometric exams
for a range of qualifications including Cisco.. and I have managed to
pass every one [thank God].
