Re: trouble accessing cisco documentation CD [7:8330]

2001-06-13 Thread Bryan In Richmond
Those CD's are the bane of my existence. I send hate mail to Cisco about those things. I have systems that they absolutely refuse to install on, even if I install all of the crap they put on those things. That Netscrape Castigator is 1997 technology. For GOD's CISCO "IE 5.5". Give me a brake here.

I don't think that anyone dislikes the Cisco CID book. I think that some folks wish it was a bit more focused on the exam itself. Try the Sybex ( I haven't read it but it comes highly recommended here) if you want a book focused on the test. Personally I read the Cisco book and with my prior knowl

Re: Layer3 switch vs Router [7:7406]

2001-06-06 Thread Bryan In Richmond
Well, Someone may have a product based answer for you but literally a router is a layer 3 switch. Just think of all of the functionality that a switch offers you and add on the route switch module to sweeten the pot. A router either bridges or has separate subnets on each of its interfaces.(simp

Each PC needs to be on a separate subnet or network unless you are bridging. You then need to define the router interface local to each PC as the default gateway. try these three subnets... 192.168.1.0 192.168.2.0 192.168.3.0 using a mask of 255.255.255.0 good luckBryan - Original Mess
