I thought the exam was trough, but very fair.

One of the Sims had an error within the answers, I advised the girl who said she couldn't do anything.

Thankfully I passed if not I would have been steaming.

I'm really struggling with my studying.

I've spent a lot money on kit for a lab, books, I even did a 2 day course to give me that kick up the backside.

I think I'm finding the reading hard in that I'm really not a keen book person.

Has anyone studied successfully for the CCNA using purely CBT and using books only as a point of ref when things don't stick in?

Any advice on studying welcome!! ]]> CCNA / CCENT spongeym http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/89586-struggling.html Designing a Network-IP addresses http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/89582-designing-network-ip-addresses.html Fri, 24 May 2013 11:10:33 GMT i have such a problem: Their head office is based in Johannesburg with 2 regional offices in London and China. Connections to these regional offices... i have such a problem:
Their head office is based in Johannesburg with 2 regional offices in London and China. Connections to these regional offices should have minimum downtime, so a reliable technology and design is required. The data that is transmitted is not bandwidth intensive.
Company XYZ has a couple of mobile Sales reps that are always on the road and a small branch (8 users) in Cape Town, both of which will need secure access the internal network in JHB HO. Although not business critical, HO requires an internet line with sufficient bandwidth for its users.
Company XYZ has decided to use the IP range 172.16.0.0 /22 that will be used to assign IP addresses for both regional offices and JHB HO. This range will also provide some extra IP addresses that can be used for future grow or for the possible development of another regional office in America. The IP ranges must be divided into equal sizes and assigned in such a way to take full advantage of route summarization to ease overhead on the routers.
The Number of nodes based JHB HQ is as follows (regional offices around same size):

Marketing & Accounting 25 users
Payroll 10 users
Factory 100 users
Engineering 19 users
IT 8 users
Servers 6 servers

QUESTION:Draw up a logical topology of Company XYZ connections to the regional offices. In this drawing also indicate and explain how the Sales teleworkers and the Small branch in Cape Town will get connectivity with HO based in Johannesburg. Give a description (Motivate) of the type of connection used and the bandwidth of each link (be realistic). Also indicate the IP ranges that you will assign to JHB and the 2 regional offices and the remaining IP range that will be kept for future growth.

HERE IS MY ANSWER: (PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I AM DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT HERE)
Thank you!

JHB HO: 172.16.0.0/24
LONDON:172.16.0.1/24
CHINA:172.16.0.2/24
AMERICA:172.16.0.3/24

JHB NODES:
FACTORY: 172.16.0.0/25
MARKETING & ACCOUNTING: 172.16.0.128/27
PAYROLL: 172.16.0.160/28
IT: 172.16.0.176/28
SERVERS: 172.16.0.192/29
LOS ANGELES: 172.16.0.200/28
remaining IP range for future growth: 172.16.0.216 to 172.16.0.254

I think, We have a star topology with JHB HO at the centre and the regional offices, the sales teleworkers and cape town branch revolving around it. the 2 regional offices use a copper wire cable category 5; the sales teleworkers and cape town branch use a VPN. The bandwidth on the wire can be 100Mbps
What could the bandwidth be for the VPN connections (if those are VPN connections?)

I just started my CCNA training/studying this month and I am planning to sit for the cert exam next month.
Just about 10 minutes ago, a friend of mine (CCNA certified), just got a Network Admin Job and he won't stop mumbling about things I have never heard about. ESX, Citrix, what on earth is that? Seriously, didn't know about these things until today.
So my question is what exactly is up about being a network engineer ? Do I need to know about Server OS. I was thinking knowing the Cisco Router Management/R&S and blah blah is enough to secure a stand in the networking field.. now I have to learn how to Operate Servers. I don't even know what evolves around a Server, never saw one - never worked on one. Any idea on how to help a clueless aspiring network administrator ? ]]> CCNA / CCENT danstar http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/89534-ccna-server-clueless.html Passed CCNA ! http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/89530-passed-ccna.html Thu, 23 May 2013 04:44:36 GMT After starting in November but actually getting serious in January.

However I want to add a Loopback address to a Router. Here are my current interfaces:

Code:

I want to give the Loopback an address that falls after 10.0.1.2, however I keep getting an overlap error. See below.

Code:

I'm not sure what that error means.

In my mind, I think that the addresses that I'm trying to use above should work.

However, once I use a different number on the 3rd Octet, then it works. ]]> CCNA / CCENT JockVSJock http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/89528-not-able-set-ip-address-i-want-loopback-address-router.html Cisco router using RIP however no output from show ip route ip http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/89524-cisco-router-using-rip-however-no-output-show-ip-route-ip.html Thu, 23 May 2013 02:20:36 GMT Greetings, I built a basic topology (see attached picture) for three routers (c7200) in GNS3. For the IOS I'm using 12.4(4)T1.

I'm using RIPv2 to build routing tables for all routers, I can run the following commands ok from the East and West Router

Code:

  



east#show ip protocols

Routing Protocol is "rip"

    Interface             Send  Recv  Triggered RIP  Key-chain

    Serial1/0             2     2

  Automatic network summarization is not in effect

  Maximum path: 4

  Routing for Networks:

    10.0.0.0

  Routing Information Sources:

    Gateway         Distance      Last Update

    10.0.1.1             120      00:00:16

Code:

 



east#show ip route rip

R       10.0.0.0 [120/1] via 10.0.1.1, 00:00:12, Serial1/0

However from my Central Router, I am unable to get any output when I run the same command that runs ok on the other two routers. Even though they are all using the same IOS. gns3 demopng.jpg
