Oh yea, one more thing. A lot of TAC people also watch cisco netpro forums. The site is slower than anything I have ever seen, but you might get some free answers there. It is like a competetion between us to see how many answers we can help with.
cisco netpro (need CCO login)...
Sometimes you get these switches used, and actually the support contracts aren't too cheap. I work in TAC - backbone LAN switching, and I say it's okay ;) Plenty of people don't buy them because they actually have knowledgable employees. The bad part is when the company can "afford" the...
Never ever ever route to an ethernet! You will ARP for everything, resulting in an annoying delay with every packet without a destination in your ARP table. But yea, that's what you need :)
Troney,
This would be difficult if you do not own the other side of these links. What you are speaking of would be implemented via routing protocol load balancing or multilink ppp. Both of these must be configured on both ends. As far as a manual load-sharing method, you could put in static...
They are absolutely supported. I work at cisco TAC, so I would definately hear an earfull if we did not support hot swapping. I have seen it done and done it myself hundreds of times. If it does blow up, make sure to scream at me really loudly :)
True, they are "faster", but they are definately needed later on for the 802.1q trunking (which Ethernet cannot do, only faste). The part that is not so fun is that while a 2600 is "faster", they take much much longer to reload, so in a lab, this is not so fun. :(
Good Luck!
Think about why you might be seeing this in rural areas... fiber requires fewer POP's and sometimes can be made into completely passive systems. This means fewer employees and less maintainence. The speed for you is a byproduct, it's all about the service provider's infrastructure. If you...
Two NICs can be in the same subnet and even share the same IP and mac address, usually you need a program on the host with dual nics that will make one virtual IP or GARP when one fails (in non-load balancing configuration). The switch you plug into should be using an etherchannel to spread the...
I hear you there IceWind, some people aren't all about just managing network gear.. there is much more to IT than this. Words of advice: get a security clearance and learn active directory or something similarly in demand and GUI related. Honestly, some GUI's are harder to learn and be...
The main reason is that there is an enormous amount of code cisco has to deal with, and every bug would have to be fixed in the code and then in the GUI, very tedious and there is no time for that. Besides, when your network is down, no GUI is going to help you... console connection at 9600baud...
Oh yea and the ACL thing, you probably should have covered this in class before the exercise too but typically:
R4(config)#access-list 101 deny ip 192.12.5.97 0.0.0.0 192.12.5.98 0.0.0.0
R4(config)#access-list 101 permit ip any any
int s1
ip access-group 101 in
This will stop anything...
Flint is right on.
Ethereal or your NIC may not be in promiscuous mode. If you have checked ethereal, winpcap, and your snort box works on the same connection, I would go to the NIC manufacturer and maybe they have an updated driver or registry entry that enables promiscuous sniffing.
Tips...
Well CCNA has to do a lot with routers, so maybe that's the problem ;) Just kidding, but what bealzz was referring to was just network statements under router rip:

Not that it's cheap, but there are a lot of 2900's. The xl series is older and does not offer gigabit, but you might try:
WS-C2950G-12-EI
WS-C2950G-24-EI
WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC
Do not try to make this more complicated than it has to be. Redundancy is crucial if you rely on these servers for any business-critical applications of course. If you really feel like segmenting your network by broadcast domain, 160 users may or may not be enough to worry about... it all...
... I believe that is supposed to be wireless denotation
Trunking is not the use of multiple connections to a switch, that would be called "NIC Teaming"
Trunking is the encapsulation you will use when using multiple vlans on a single link, which is possible to a server/host, but not...
I have just purchased my first monitor with DVI input, and I am not sure what needs to be done in order to enable the DVI output from my video card. I am using the GeForce FX 5600 with nVidia display drivers, I have their utilitiy as well. The monitor is a dell 2001FP ($451 shipped + tax =) )...
QoS in routers depends on the software version, but switches you must be very careful to get the exact hardware you need since most everything in a switch is done in hardware.
You can apply QoS on a variety of factors. Typically it is easiest if your phones set the DSCP (diff-serv code...
ip nat inside source list 1 interface ethernet 0/0 overload
ip nat inside source list 2 interface ethernet 1/0 overload
access-list 1 permit 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 2 permiet 192.168.20.0 0.0.0.255
This way you have two networks natted on two different outgoing interfaces...
Well that config had two DHCP portions, one is the interface e1 gets an address from your service provider, the other part is about the router handing them out itself. If you make a DHCP pool, you do not need to make statics for every host, and if you use the interface name instead of an...
Actually, if you are assigned the address via DHCP, you will not know the IP address so if you just put the interface in there, it will know which to use for the static.
Assuming you have the dot1q trunking under control, I have an example for you as far as NAT with DHCP. In this example, I am getting a DHCP address from the cable modem as well as handing out dhcp internally and NAT'ing. I also threw in some addresses that DHCP will not hand out (excluded...
I agree, the serial cable is noticably missing. Thinkpads still have an LPT port but no serial, which do you think is more widely used? I haven't used an LPT port since college to bypass (paid) networked printing. Those USB ports on the newer cisco routers might be used for encryption keys...
Turning your machine into a switch is a bad idea. You could run multilink ppp on your router, but you would need a dual connected router somewhere in the cloud to make this feasable. You can also create static routes for different traffic, which is a poor-man's load balancing. Policy based...
If you use shoutcast, you need the server and the shoutcast winamp plugin. It's pretty easy. I forward port 8000 to my server and everything is fine. If you do not want to get listed on shoutcast.com, just don't fill out the genre, station title, etc. You can also limit the number of users...
How are you getting the collision readings, are you consoled into the box? If you are getting collisions with no ethernet connections, then yes, you definately have a problem.
You said it had an uplink port going to to another device? If your hub is connected to a device that also sees...
Collisions are perfectly normal on a hub :)
