RE: Merging two companies

Rodney, In your original post, you mentioned VPN. While I agree that double NATting is generally a viable approach in your situation, you should be aware that combining NAT and encryption will pose additional challenges; especiallly if you have only one IOS device at each site. Regards, -

Re: Voice for lab

The least expensive way to go is get a 1750. The 1750 uses the same personality (VIC = FXS, EM, FXO) cards as the 2600 and you do not need the extra (expensive) voice processor card like the 2600. Careful. The 1750 DOES require a voice processor card, a PVDM-4 will provide DSP resources for

Re: Can't Ping Serial Interface!

Dear Ken, Your setup is probably working normally. It's not generally possible to ping a local frame relay interface because the router fails to map the Layer 3 address to a Layer 2 dlci address. You can view the failed encapsulation with the "debug ip packet" command. You might try one of

Re: Voice over IP

Doug: Be sure to get Caputo's book. It's does a good job of introducing items essential to field work with Cisco Voice. Put his name into the archives and I'm sure you'll see other comments. I find getting to the archives pretty easy from www.groupstudy.com. Search the

Re: snapshot routing

Yes. And, in fact, I once discovered that with modem POTS lines, I had to use a dialer interface. If I just used an asynchronous interface, the routers would dump all the routes on disconnection. I would not expect this to be the case with a BRI interface however. "Hubert Pun" [EMAIL

Re: CCIE Design Written

Wayne, I walked into the Beta exam back in April. I'd say the blueprint is a good description: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/certifications/design_blueprint.html "Wayne Lawson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/14/00 05:33AM Has anyone attempted the CCIE Design written? (The official

RE: Reversed Telnet

Reverse telnet will work fine between 2501's. Just connect the AUX port of the 2501 you're reverse telneting from to the CON port of the 2501 you're reverse telneting to. A loopback is often a good idea, but by no means necessary. You just need a valid IP address that resolves to a

Re: Reversed Telnet

Is it Reversed Telnet to connect RouterA to RouterB via the console cable and then from RouterA access RouterB by typing in the command BRAVO ??? Yes, as long as the RouterB is attached via an asynchrous cable from RouterA to RouterB. The use of the IP host command for convenience is not

Re: Just wanna hear your thoughts... on FRS

I took the FRS. At the time, I didn't have a whole lot of field experience on Cisco gear. Largely because of my lack of hands-on at that time, it was far and away the hardest written exam I have ever taken. Since then, no Cisco written exam has ever caused me fear. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Looking for CVOICE Books

Dorothy, I think Robert Caputo's book, "Cisco Packetized Voice Data" is an excellent reference for Cisco Voice in the field, and a great supporting reference for CVOICE. - John "Edmondson, Dorothy M" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/28/00 01:47PM I am studying for the CVOICE exam. Any

Re: Percentage to success

This is hard to quantify, if, you've taken the complete journey, you probably won't have a great deal of recollection. Nevertheless, I'll take a stab: Starting with not much experience but a good aptitude, I'd say that CCNP requires 10 times the effort of CCNA, while CCIE will ask about 10
