Help about a technical interview I had PLEASE!

2000-09-14 Thread John Barnes
I had technical with a CCIE interview yesterday, and I’m not really sure were to go with this. He asked me a lot of pretty high level questions and some not so high level, the problem is, I feel some of the answers he wanted were wrong. I’m going to post the questions, the answers I gave, and th

I took and passed the CCIE written today. Not that bad a test coming off the CCNP track. Honestly, I'd never even touched a switch before about 4 months ago. Wish I could say more about it, but it really is a fair test. Sure made me feel better about that crappy interview I had this week. mak

The NIC and mb must both support the WOL feature to use it. It seems with the newer version (PCI 2.2), you don't need to use a cable, but with earlier PCI versions, you do. I've known people who claimed to use it for software distribution off hours and weekends, but I've never actually used it m

RE: Modem connection through Console port

2000-07-21 Thread John Barnes
I think the problem is that the baud rate between the modem and the console port are not matched, hence the garbage. I've seen this happen before. Computer -> 115200 -> modem -> PSTN (56k?) - > modem -> (baud rate the modem is picking) -> console The default baud rate on the console is 9600, so

I recently had IDSL installed from Northpoint. Long and short of it: I have a 802, and it will support IDSL. I'd like to use the 802 instead of the 3Com DSL bridge. The encapsulation according to Northpoint is VWAN(?). Does this mean ATM? Is is possible for me to configure the 802 to wor

Can you ping the firewall from Router A? If not you probably don't have routes to the internal networks. The firewall will have one for the directly attached network by default and a default route, but not a route for the other 2. --- Arya Salahi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is the IP network

Ping sends an ICMP echo request, tracert may send ICMP echo request or it may send a UDP packet. If the tracert you are using is sending UDP (with increasing TTLs), then an access list or firewall could be reponsible for what you are seeing. Ping works off of ICMP echo request/echo replies. Tra
