Google: friendly giant, benevolent despot?

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 09:00 AM PDT


When Google first found its way into the public consciousness it was as a quirky but effective service: a simple search tool that cocked a snook at the monolithic giants of the PC industry. Its 'Don't be evil' slogan and unusual working practices made Google seem like a creative breath of fresh air, churning out innovative free products and enjoying positive PR that the likes of Microsoft and IBM would kill for.

CCNA Wireless - Any netsims available?

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 08:23 AM PDT


Hi,

I am a CCNA and looking to recertify by taking the CCNA Wireless concentration as I would like to add some new knowlegde rather than just retake the current CCNA. I will need to know how to configure Cisco WCS, WLC's and AP's for the exam, so I am looking for a netsim like Boson's but for the Wireless config's only. Does a netsim for CCNA Wireless exist and if so what is it and how do I get it?

Thanks.

Redistribution : Rip & OSPF Using Packet Tracer

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 08:29 AM PDT


I was playing around with Packet Tracer today, thought why not give it a try. Nice program none the less. So here is a very modest try on basic redistribution. I thought it will help someone.

The lab had very basic set up, i used three routers and with a bunch of loopbacks i tested the redistribution between RIP and OSPF. You can use this lab as a tester or a reference point. PT lacks a lot of command options but is still very highly usable.

So here is the setup:

Router 1: (RIP V2)

interface Loopback1
ip address 192.168.10.100 255.255.255.0
!
interface Loopback2
ip address 2.2.2.2 255.0.0.0
!
interface Serial0/0
ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.252
!
router rip
version 2
network 2.0.0.0
network 172.16.0.0
network 192.168.10.0
no auto-summary

Router 3: (OSPF 1)

interface Loopback1
ip address 3.3.3.3 255.0.0.0
!
interface Loopback2
ip address 192.168.20.100 255.255.255.0
!
interface Serial0/0
ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.252
clock rate 64000
!
router ospf 1
log-adjacency-changes
network 3.3.3.3 0.0.0.0 area 0
network 192.168.20.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

Router 2: (Performed the redistribution)

interface Serial0/0
ip address 172.16.10.2 255.255.255.252
clock rate 64000
!
interface Serial0/1
ip address 172.16.20.2 255.255.255.252
!
router ospf 1
log-adjacency-changes
redistribute rip subnets
network 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
!
router rip
version 2
redistribute ospf 1 metric 5
network 172.16.0.0
no auto-summary

Outputs:

Router 1: (Rip)

Gateway of last resort is not set

C 2.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Loopback2

C 192.168.20.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback2

Router 2: (Performed Redistribution)

R 2.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 172.16.10.1, 00:00:00, Serial0/0
3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O 3.3.3.3 [110/782] via 172.16.20.1, 00:20:15, Serial0/1
172.16.0.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C 172.16.10.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0
C 172.16.20.0 is directly connected, Serial0/1
R 192.168.10.0/24 [120/1] via 172.16.10.1, 00:00:00, Serial0/0
192.168.20.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O 192.168.20.100 [110/782] via 172.16.20.1, 00:20:15, Serial0/1

(The routes that are in bold are learned using redistribution)


Now you could use the "passive-interface" command on s0/1 of Router 2 so that route on s0/1 is advertised by RIP.

If you want the PT lab file, here is the link: hxxp://[nofileshares].com/files/195399030/redist-lab1.pkt.html

Note: As i mentioned above PT does lack some of the advance features. For example while redistributing the rip i was not able to specify the metric-type. But as you can see it still works. :)

What CCNA1 labs have you encountered so far?

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 08:13 AM PDT


Hello,

I'm curious: what CCNA1 labs have you encountered so far? At CCNA1 I played with:
- wireshark for packet capture
- cain for interesting demonstrations
- packet tracer for simulating networks
- let's not forget the subnetting labs and wiring cables :)
- another "lab" is playing a game like "Jeopardy" with questions from the it section :)

What other interesting activities have you done so far on your CCNA1 classes? I'm looking for ideas to spice a little my CCNA1 class, so any crazy idea is very welcomed! :D

Thanks in advance!
