A lot of my posts lately have been about configuring Cisco routers and I wanted to go back and talk about some big picture things as well as some foundational topics that will help lay the ground work to learning the rest of the things you need to know to get your CCNA Certification. In
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
How to Configure Static Routes on a Cisco Router
I think static routes get trash talked a lot by those studying for their CCNA exam. Mostly likely because they are just learning about dynamic routing for the first time and find it really fun to set up. And from that moment on static routes get pushed to the back burner and never make it into the router configuration. While static routes may have some disadvantages they also have many advantages that are worth considering.
Introduction To How Routers Work For The CCENT Exam
Routers are a very important networking devices and without them the Internet wouldn’t exist. One good thing about getting your Cisco Certification is that a majority of the routers that run the Internet are made by Cisco. In other words there is going to be a demand for Cisco Certified Network Associates for a long
CCENT Exam: My Friends NAT and PAT
I have talked previously about ways to delay the huge problem of running out of unique IPv4 IP Addresses by using CIDR and Subnetting. IPv6 has so far solved the problem by offering way more than enough usable IP Addresses, but getting everything transitioned over to IPv6 will take a long time, so IPv4 is
Learn About IPv6 For The CCENT Exam
IPv6 is the latest standard of IP Addresses and is currently in the faze of slowly transitioning out all the IPv4 addresses that are still in use today. IPv6 addresses were mainly created because The Internet was running out of usable IP Addresses to assign out. Every computer or network that is connected to The
How to Subnet a Range of IP Addresses For The CCENT Exam
Subnetting is a very important topic for both the ICND1 and ICND2 exam and is also needed to know in order to be a good network administrator. Subnetting can be a topic difficult to understand at first, but with practice it can become automatic and easy to do. Before you can fully understand subnetting you
CCENT Exam: Classless Inter-Domain Routing
Classless Inter-Domain Routing or CIDR for short has helped solve many problems that has helped delay the complete exhaustion of usable IPv4 IP Addresses for Internet use. This delay allowed enough time for IPv6 to be created, but CIDR has far outlived its original lifespan of 3-5 years back in 1992 because IPv4 is still
Should I take one big CCNA exam or take the two test route?
Originally the first Cisco Certification was the CCNA, and you would have to take one test in order to get it. A few years ago however they decided to break up the CCNA exam in to two different exams so that it would be easier for students just getting into the networking field to obtain
30 Days to CCENT – Day 33
This past week has been crazy because I’ve been very busy doing homework for the five classes that I’m taking at BSU and did not study as much as I would have liked for my ICND1 exam. This morning I decided to wake up at 4:00am and brush up on a few topics before my
