Finishing my Computer Science Degree
Hi Everybody! I just wanted everyone to know that even though I haven’t posted a new blog post in a while or written about my online router simulator it isn’t because I’ve neglected this website or more importantly YOU my readers. I care a lot about you guys. I know that getting your CCNA is [...]
Network Simulator Update – Enable Password Logging In
I probably would have had this done yesterday, but it took me forever to fix some little errors that I had in my code today. But anyways, it’s done now and functional. I still need to make some more tweaks and add functionality for the enable secret password command. Rather than just showing you a [...]
How To Configure DNS Servers On Your Cisco Router
Another important topic that will show up on both the CCENT Exam and the CCNA Exam is DNS. This post will cover a basic DNS configuration on your Cisco Router.
Your router will need to connect to an external dns server either from your ISP or a public dns server so that you can have internet access. A DNS server will translate a domain name like facebook.com to an ip address like 69.63.189.16. These translations will be cached in your Cisco router. So that when another computer inside of your local network needs to translate facebook.com again it will not have to query the external server, but just use what is in the cache.
Cisco Router Simulator: Change The Hostname For The CCENT Exam
An important command for the CCENT Exam and one of the first things to do when configuring your Cisco router is to change it’s name so that you can easily distinguish it from other routers in your network. You may be wondering how would I get confused about which router I’m configuring? Well, when you are logged in remotely through telnet, or maybe somebody else you’ve asked to configure the router may not be familiar with your setup will be less likely to make a configuration mistake if the routers are configured with unique names.
Cisco Router Simulator: Configuration Modes For The CCENT Exam
I’m still in the process of working on my Cisco Router Simulator to help all those out just starting out and are preparing for their CCENT Exam, but I already have some basic functionality working so that you can start getting your hands dirty.
This tutorial is going to cover all the different modes that Cisco Routers have and then allow you to practice entering and exiting them yourself. Cisco routers have several different modes in order to control access to different parts of the router.
CCENT Study Guide Topics
I currently have over 100 hundred posts on my website to help you get your CCENT and CCNA Certification and I wanted to make it easier for your to find the things you are looking for. Below is a list of topics that you will find on the CCENT Exam with links to their respective posts. Enjoy!
CCENT Exam Cost: Plus How to Register Online
Currently (Sept. 2010) the CCENT Exam is going to cost you $125 USD. If you live in another country other than the United States I’ll show you how you can find out how much it will cost you to take the CCENT Exam in your country’s native currency.
First of all I just want to say that if you think that the CCENT Exam is priced too high or that it isn’t worth getting, it is well worth the investment. Because of the important skills you learn along the way of becoming a CCENT you will become a lot more valuable than other people looking for jobs without it. It also is a great stepping stone toward getting your CCNA. Also just within the first month of getting a job or a pay raise (if you already have an IT job) you will earn more than enough to pay off the original investment of $125 plus study materials.
7 Great Cisco Networking Engineers to Learn From
The CCIE has been around since August 1993 and a lot has happened within the last 17 years. One big thing that has changed is that now there is actual curriculum to study and courses that you can take. That just didn’t exist 17 years ago. There was no
Bridging The Gap between IPv4 and IPv6
Many networks these days are still using IPv4 and are not yet ready for IPv6 and so in this article I wanted to talk about the necessary steps to start the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 addressing. A while back I wrote a general introduction to IPv6 addressing that you should look at again to get a little bit more background.
How to Properly Use Wildcard Masks
You will need to become familiar with how wildcard masks work in order to properly configure many different Cisco IOS commands. Mostly you will encounter wildcard masks with access control lists and when configuring the dynamic routing protocol OSPF. ACL’s are also used when configuring NAT and PAT settings. Because wildcard masks come up often they are a very important topic to understand for your ICND2 and CCNA Exam.
