Re: THE KEY: regarding cisco and SecureCRT softwa [7:18979]

SecureCRT is a great, but PUTTY is free and works quite well.
I use it regularly when I get stuck with a Windows machine.
Check it out:

RE: Road Runner & 2514 [7:18901]

2001-09-07 Thread cassidy smith

I had MediaVision (now ATT Broadband) so I think I was a RR customer too. I
had a similar setup(2611) and a similar problem, I found out that they lock
down your MAC address somehow in their DHCP database. So I spoofed my
"outside" mac address on my router. As you can see I also was providing Nat
translation for my home network. This worked great, I dumped it however in
favor of DSL and some static addresses.

What I find odd about your debug output is that the so called bridge is
using a RFC1918 private address, this would make me think that it may not be
a bridge?? You may want to take a sniffer trace of the interaction between
your Win98 box and the Bridge as it aquires its address. Ethereal is free if
you don't have one.

My old home config:

interface Ethernet0/1
 description connected to Internet
 mac-address 0060.9720.5855
 ip address dhcp
 ip nat outside
 half-duplex
 no cdp enable

Hope this helps!

Passed Written, Thanks! [7:20079]

2001-09-15 Thread cassidy smith

All, Thanks so much for your guidence!

I completed CCNP/CCDP first. 

Then I read the Sybex(Lammle) CCIE Study Guide. I used the Boson Tests #1
and #2, and quickly realized I was not ready for some of the ATM questions.
I picked up the McGrawHill(Giles) CCIE study guide, and used it and the
Cisco Web Site to fill in the blanks. For Token Ring I used the RIF study
aid that is free here at the GroupStudy "StudyNotes" as well as the Rossi
Paper at CCPREP.
I used some of the free study aids at Bosons site, they have some faster
ways to derive your IP access list wildcards and IP summary ranges.

For summary addressing and wildcards:

I passed with an 83% I did pretty well in all areas except for "Performance
Management" section, if anyone knows what that section's focous was I would
appreciate a response. Perhaps the fact that I don't know is indicitive as
to why I did not do so well in that area, I had really wanted to hit a 90% :-)

If I had it to do over, I would have started with assessing myself with the
boson's Having a CCNP/DP gets you about 80% there, I could have saved about
2 weeks if I just found out in the begining that 20% that I needed to focus
on.

I am off to start studies for the LAB, since I don't know where else to
start, I will ask the groupstudy Lab forum moderator if I can join after I
schedule my Lab Exam.

Thanks again for all the advice. Good Luck to those persuing this crazy
certification. :-)

RE: Cute IPX addresses needed [7:20758]

2001-09-21 Thread cassidy smith

Dennis, here is a list I created years ago when I was building a lot of
Netware networks. You can use them in funky combinations. My personal
favorites were "BADC0FEE" and "BABEFACE". When our networks started using
TCP/IP and started really getting big, we started converting the IP network
to HEX and using it for the IPX network, this scaled well and made it easy
to assign both IP and IPX net.

Good luck with your writing!
