Ehazen’s Study Goal On CCNA Certification

kimwerker911 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 02:35:24 +0000

For the past 5 years I’ve been that lone hero in the back room. Monitoring servers, measuring performance, and fixing errors all to keep a few computers running with high availability. It has been an interesting road and I’ve become an expert at the Windows Server enviroment and I’m not to shabby with the Linux enviroment either.

However, there’s one major frustration I have with working in the systems environment and that is the scope of the job. I’m constantly asked if I can write a program, create a new object oriented database, create web page graphics, configure several different brands of switches and routers, etc. Well I’m sure you get my point; the Network Administrator position in most company’s eyes is that an around everything IT related job.

Although it’s fun to have something different everyday it doesn’t allow me to develop a very unique skill set that’s worth a lot (I want to start a side IT consulting company for a supplemental income). Because of this I decided that my general Bachelors degree in computer science isn’t enough. I needed a certification but I wanted one that’d change my roll from that all to general network administrator. I had a few choices, but I decided the best would be networking. I’m not talking about getting two computers to play well together. I’m referring to the links that you see going from businesses to ISP’s or B2B, etc. This is a very technical field and requires a very specialized skill set. It was exactly what I wanted, something that I could learn and then update once a year rather than once every 3 months. This field also put me in a great place to have alternate career paths later on when I’m ready for a change. I could easily add a few things and become a network design professional, a security professional, or a specialized project manager.

So what’s the plan now? Well first things first, I need to get my certifications. I’ll start off with my CCNA and probably late this year or early next year move toward my CCNP. I’ll probably stay in that general Network Administrator’s job for another 2-3 years while I gain actual experience taking side projects at night or weekends.

CCNA Security Commands

As part of my study for CCNA Security I have been making a list of all the commands I need to be adept with. I thought I would share this list of commands with others who may be interested.

For simplicty the list doesn’t offer explanations and in most cases there are a variety of options that could be used with each command that are not shown. It is also not suitable for copy/paste into a router or switch. However, I think it is still a useful quick reference sheet.

You are running both RADIUS as well as TACACS+ servers in your example configuration. I was wondering what RAD/TACS you were running on those two servers? FreeRadius? And what Tac Plus? Just trying to determine what software you are using for your lab studies! Thanks!

By the way, thanks for sharing your config!

#03 solara

The previous example isn’t my config but rather just a list of commands to be familiar with and so I’m not actually running TACACS+ and RADIUS on the separate server addresses that I have shown.

I do my lab work using GNS3 with the C3745-ADVENTERPRISEK9_SNA-M IOS and currently I’m using the 90-day trial version of Cisco ACS 4.2 running on a Win2k3 VMWare box.

Just for interest I’ve attached a text file showing a basic config I’ve used for testing TACACS+. I have enabled debugs on aaa authentication and IP packets between the router and the ACS server and then attempted to logon to the router via SSH.

Which Router Should I Buy For CCNA?

kimwerker911 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 04:26:50 +0000

So you want to get your CCNA and you need to buy a router for your CCNA home lab? Now the question is which router should you get? I have been in your shoes and know when you are just starting out, it is tough to make sense of all the different models of Cisco Routers available. The good news is there are a lot of good options available to get a good CCNA router for a fair price.

I recommend getting a Cisco 2611 Router or a Cisco 2621 Router because they have to two Copper ports instead of one and offer the most training flexibility. If the cost isn’t much different, go for the 2621 because it offers 2 10/100 Ethernet ports and has 128MB of memory versus the 2611 that has 2 10Mb ports with 64MB of memory. Don’t forget to buy 2 routers as most of the CCNA Labs require two routers. You could also get 3 routers, but from my experience, you will rarely actually need 3 routers to practice for your CCNA.

Another issue that comes into play is the IOS. If you can get a router with 12.4 already installed, you are way ahead of the game. Remember, the only legal way you can get a copy of the IOS is to buy a Cisco Smartnet contract for your router. If worse comes to worse, look for 12.3, but do your best to avoid 12.2. While it is a solid IOS for production, the new CCNA really focuses on the newer 12.4 version and some commands may be different from what you are learning.

This recommendation is for building a CCNA Home Lab. If you plan on building a CCNP Home Lab, then you should check back later for a post about which router you should buy for CCNP. The great part is even though the routers for CCNP are more expensive, if you buy them while working on your CCNA, you can use them for both certifications.

Also, if you have the money, you may be better off buying a complete CCNA Home Lab. You can usually find a complete CCNA Lab Kit including 2 or more routers and 1 or more Cisco Switches. Just keep in mind what I said about the routers.

EBay Wins Court Victory Against Tiffany & Co

kimwerker911 — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 03:31:58 +0000

EBay, the internet auction site, has won a significant battle in the war over the sale of luxury goods on its site.

A US court has ruled that Tiffany & Co, the world-famous jewellers, failed to prove the online auctioneer was responsible for the sale of fake Tiffany jewellery (tiffany sets tiffany set tiffany necklaces tiffany necklace) on its website.

The ruling could play a key role in deciding the ground rules for doing business over the Internet in future.

Earlier this month, Mo?t Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), the French luxury goods maker, won €40 million (￡31.5 million) in a case against eBay for selling counterfeit goods. The internet site was also told by the French court that it cannot allow sales of four LVMH perfumes, even if they are genuine.

It also emerged that Maclaren and Bugaboo, which together supply over a third of the pushchairs sold in the UK, are trying to stop new pushchairs being sold through eBay.

Tiffany alleged that eBay turned a blind eye to the sale of fake Tiffany jewelry (tiffany sets tiffany set tiffany necklaces tiffany necklace) on its site, and claimed that its employees found 73 per cent of “Tiffany silver jewellery” pieces bought on eBay were counterfeit. EBay said the jeweler chose not to participate in eBay programs that help brand owners prevent fraud.

US District Judge Richard Sullivan said: “Given Tiffany’s choice to sue eBay, rather than individual sellers, and this court’s conclusion that eBay does not continue to supply its services to those whom it knows or has reason to know are infringing Tiffany’s trademarks, Tiffany’s claims against eBay must fail.”

California-based eBay says it takes down more than 90 per cent of fraudulent goods on its site within four hours of their posting.

So what? Buy cheap tiffany jewelry on eBay is not a good choice, why not buy from http://tiffanymall.us and http://tiffanymall.co.uk?

The Legend of Silver and Turquoise Jewelry

kimwerker911 — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 04:02:57 +0000

Learn about this beautiful semi-precious gemstone which has been in fashion for thousands of years. In folklore it is said that turquoise stones can bring you luck when it comes to money and romance. The blue green turquoise nugget is also associated with security and healing by some Southwestern Native American Indian tribes. I believe there is something to these mysterious powers, however I am somewhat biased about these topics. My own expertise comes from over 25 years of using this unique stone in thousands of piece of jewelry like tiffany jewelry, such as tiffany necklaces (tiffany necklace), tiffany sets (tiffany set).

You can’t live in Albuquerque without learning being exposed to Native American arts, crafts and of course turquois tiffanys and co jewelry. The blue color is a favorite for local businesses in their advertising. The stones, depending upon where they come from can be greenish, dark blue, blue green, sky blue and it may have veining of black or brownish streaks. Turquoise is a mineral in the class of phosphates and it’s chemical composition is that of hydrated copper aluminum phosphate and by some considered to be one of the most valuable solid minerals in the Southwestern Native American turquoise jewelry trade.

Some of the finest specimens of turquoise come from the Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico and also from the country of Iran. Please browse our store for some fine examples of Native American sterling silver jewelry items such as turquoise pendants, cuff bracelets, amethyst rings, inlaid money clips in many different styles. There are Hopi, Zuni and Navajo handcrafted jewelry selections and of course friendly advice is always available if you happen to have a question.
