Trunking physical switch to CCIE R&S Dynamips lab

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:48:13 +0000
i am trying to add a Catalyst 3560 (SW5, ignore SW6 for now) switch to my Dynamips lab using only one NIC. SW5 will connect to a NIC that will be bridged to ETHSW1 to connecting a physical network to the R&S lab. (The other NIC will be connected to SW6 and bridge that ...]

IE Volume 2, Lab 20 - A lesson in humility

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:11:23 +0000
I knew from about 5 minutes into the initial lab read that I was screwed on this one. Not only were there a few time-sinks, like doing AND and XORs across all four octets of three IP addresses, but there were a couple items I simply didn’t know how to do. To round ...]

Configuring VLAN Assignments from the Network Diagram

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:58:42 +0000
In many of the Internetwork Expert labs you are asked to create VLAN assignments based on the information in the network diagram. Here is my two step process for accomplishing that task.
1) Issue ’show ip int br | e ass’ command and look for SVIs and routed ports.
Rack22SW1#sh ip int br | e ass

IEWB-DYN Lab 6 - IGP Highlights

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:04:49 +0000
I had some time at work a couple of days ago and picked a lab at random to work through. I chose lab

countdown to next monday!

I forgot to announce the countdown to my next attempts :)

As of now, it should be countdown from 6 to 1. Next Monday is my big day on the next attempt.

Nervous? Can't feel it ;)

I am making the statement now: I can claim that I am an 'expert' for CCIE candidancy. However, at times, I still
find some questions quite confusing. Most of the time, all of those questions turned out to be "ahhh ... just like
that", or in the more happening: "oh, so that is the meaning of that question".

Only two tasks left and those two tasks could only be carried out during exam. The first one is on how to ask
'proper' question to the proctor in order to clarify those 'confusing' questions. The second tasks is: the DocCD.

All this while, whenver I have some spare time at work, either I remote to home or I opened up the DocCD. The
second one is more likely to happen ;) I wish I could have Internet access from my client's toilet, hahaha ... but it
is not critical nor important to my client.

So far, I don't feel any 'improvements' in the DocCD skills as I have always used it for my daily tasks and
references. Before the preparation of this CCIE exam, I used DocCD for references only. During the preparation of
this exam, the DocCD has been turned just like my daily 'newspaper' that have no date and the contents never changed,
yet I like reading it just like the novel or any relaxing literature.

Am I start to sound like nuts? I always am! And I am proud to be called 'nuts' as all of my nutty ideas that
brought me up to this level (and many more exciting ideas to happen in my entire life!)

One of the nutty idea is being a (multiple) CCIE. So, this is considered a crazy ideas, either me or my close peer
that knows me :) You will know it later as I keep updating this blogs in the future and I will surely inform you all
on what happens after I have crossed the path on my first CCIE track.

If anyone of you asked, "what do you plan after you pass this CCIE?", my answer would be:

If you are prospective employer: here I am, ready for your disposal (with appropriate reward of course)

If you are my technology peer (in CCIE): I will get ready for CCIE storage ;)

If you are my business partner: here I am, know having this credentials and how may I help you?

If you are my students and you are wondering which path would secure you in the job market: follow my steps:
go straight away as CCIE. Do not waste your time in CCNA or CCNP exam. However, there is no harm in attending
the exam preparation, but no need to do the exam ;)

If you are my students and does not like networking: study hard ye lazy scum!

If you are my students that study areas that I teached outside networking: take this opportunity while I can (and
willing) to share my knowledge. Squeeze my brain to 0 for your future! Challenge me for any mistakes that I did
(purposely or coincidentally). I am still human, but I will asure you: I am teaching you some lesson here :)

If you are my peers at SV: get ready to have me in your area and life soon! I will surely bring something
different that not many people would expect me to do it.

Which one are you from the above options? I will give you the chance to enjoy the benefits of having me in your
team. I am not talking big here, but when I decided to take that path and anjoy it, nothing will be able to stop me
:) If you feel you could afford me, then buzz me up or drop me a line, I will find the best way to give you the
solutions. Either I am the solution, I am part of the solution or I know someone that have that solution.

Till then ....
