Redesign this network

Ok. Looks like the only tagged vlan is 870 on this switch. No worries I have to ask: Why so many vlans? How many hosts? What are the IP ranges, gateway, mask, etc.? Where is an ipconfig/all from each VLAN? We need this to mimic the functions of the Netware Server. Does that server do...

CCNA Certification Self-Paced Walk-Thru

I was hoping to meet up with Neil. He has 6 CCIE's and is working on his 7th CCIE, one of the guys said. I'd say he's the man to beat when it comes down to the top CCIE out there. His business card is simple and belies his Knowledge level. He works for HP as a distinguished engineer...

CCNA Certification Self-Paced Walk-Thru

:). I never met him. I've seen his videos and we are linked on LinkedIn. I own the CCIE Wireless workbook he wrote for FastLane. I've never had him as an instructor for Wireless. I tool global knowledge as a training parter who outsourced it as I recall for my CCNA-W. I obtained the...

CCNA Certification Self-Paced Walk-Thru

Not personally. I know of Jerome. His LinkedIn profile says he is a Technical Marketing Engineer in Raleigh. We are linked on LinkedIn. I know Keith Parsons over the wire and from the CWNP Program. He's been at it for a while too. Not close by any means. Jerome has done quite a bit of...

Corporate firewalls

I did just - went bald. I'm using minoxidil now... But are u saying if I switch to Juniper I'll get my back? :) Cisco does pay well. One of my students/mentorees is a CCNA Voice and is billed out at $175.00 per hour or $350,000.00 per year annualized. Can't argue that Cisco...

Corporate firewalls

I check for the Cisco Logo... Besides ASA's pay extremely well... Joking sort of. But standardization versus best of breed is my mantra for better or worse.

Network specialist?

In my own home lab to emulate a network just like this one: 1 - 6503 Router - Sup 2, not 720 and not -E chassis. 2 - 2950/3550/3560/3750-X Switches - Mostly the same for the switching infrastructure. 3 - 2811 Routers - Tit for Tat the same. 4 - 3745 will have to suffice for the 3845 Router. 5 -...

Network specialist?

It seems to me we are taking a simple question and beating it to death. College versus Formal Education or Degree versus Certification. Hmm... Ok - So you go to school for 4+ years at a state university and owe about $60,000.00 in debt. Spend your time studying and doing the college thing...
