Hi all and Happy New Year

I have been working on a simple website for a little while now and it's now time to release it to the world. Eventually it will contain all my notes from study for 640-801.

Let me know what you think

Paul

I wish I found your site when I was studying for my CCNA!

The Subnet Tutor program really helped me. In fact I use it to answer 5 to 10 problems a night just to keep it fresh. Which I highly suggest to everyone to do.

For example tonight I was troubleshooting an issue for a hospital and the visio map had the following information:

Secondary Router S0/0/0:0.733 10.1.18.165/30
AT&T PE Router 10.1.18.158/30

I quickly picked up the phone and contacted AT&T to find out the correct IP Address for the AT&T PE Router!

The actual issue was with the primary router however. It was a slow response issue. I was returning around 158-244ms echo replies across the WAN Link with no high bandwidth usage, errors or packet loss. I had AT&T bounce the PVC and that fixed the issue. A small issue really, but one takes what one can get.

 

cool, glad you like it.

I got to the point where I could subnet in my head almost straightaway. A bit like Neo when he can see the Matrix within all those green characters. Well, that's what it felt like anyway

I never really grasped subnetting to this extent until I read the Cisco Press Wendell Odom books. His explanation made it sooo much clearer than MS Press 70-216. OK I passed 70-216 but found myself still stumbling and generally feeling that I could get a better grasp. Plus loads and loads of practice, it's absolutely essential.

Your router problem sounded interesting. I would be frustrated that I couldn't find the problem. OK a bounce is great and it works but I guess I am a bit of puritan and would want to know EXACTLY what happened. But hey, you'd go mad if you didnt let these things go occasionally. Another essential IT skill!
