Tis more than time for a new CCENT and CCNA video - and today's video is one you CCNP Bulldogs should have a look at, too! Apologies about my absence this past week. My parole officer was being a real pain.    I KID!  I KID! We'll start this vid with a very quick discussion of a situation that every computer certification candidate runs into sooner or later - one that you won't find discussed in any study guide (except mine!). We'll follow that with an important lab -- so with no further ado, let's get to it right after you grab your copies of my ICND1 and ICND2 Study Guides!

I realize I've been strangely quiet lately.   The silence ends today.   I am likely to remain strange, though.    : ) --  Chris B.

Here's your CCNA and CCENT Training Post for Sunday, Mar 9! Let's hit today's practice exam on Telnet and SSH first!   1.  A user just connected to your Cisco router via Telnet.  Assuming all default settings, what operational mode is that user in right now? 2.   What command will disable your the inactivity timer on a Cisco router's console port? 3.  It's a great idea to be able to telnet to your switch's management interface. By default, what interface is that? 4.  We'll wrap up with a multiple choice question.  Which of the following commands are required at minimum for a successful Telnet configuration? A.  login B.  priv level 15 C.  password D.  logging synchronous Answers coming right up --  right after you click these links! :) Earn your CCENT and CCNA with my  CCNA 2014 Video Boot Camp  for just $44!

Here's your CCNP ROUTE and TSHOOT Training Post for Sunday, March 9! As I was saying before Blogger rudely interruped me... Today's Post has a new practice exam question followed by a VERY important CCNP ROUTE video.  Let's get to it! Today's question: Examine the following and tell me what numeric value, if any, will be used for the OSPF RID on this router.    Assume all interfaces are open and operating normally. int loopback0    ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 int serial1    ip address 172.12.1.1 255.255.0.0 int serial2      ip address 40.1.1.1 255.0.0.0 int fast0/0     ip address 200.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 router ospf 1     network 172.12.0.0 0.0.255.255     network 40.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 We'll check out the answer and today's video right after this! Our website is getting a makeover later this month  -- and we're cel...

Here's your CCNP SWITCH Training Post for Thursday, March 6! Before we get started here, just a quick word -- for those of you asking how the new site's coming along, let me just say it's looking VERY good, and we expect to launch by the end of the month. So if on occasion I haven't been here on the blog every day, the new website is to blame.  : )    It'll be worth it! Right now, let's talk about ARP. Do you give much thought to ARP at all? Me either. It's a lot like DHCP, STP, etc., in that it works so well that we don't give it a lot of day-to-day thought. Network intruders do, though, and that's why we have a little something called DAI -- Dynamic ARP Inspection.  That's what today's practice exam is all about, and there's a Video Boot Camp to boot. Let's get started! 1.  The DAI process uses the same database used by another Cisco router function.  Which one? A.  S...

Here's your CCNA and CCENT Training Post for Monday, Mar 3! I've posted the latest CCNA and CCENT Video Boot Camps here for you, and there's a new practice exam ready for you, too.   Let's get to it! Now on to today's practice exam! 1.  When an EIGRP route is usable and is not currently being recalculated, what code do you expect to see next to that route in the topology table? A.  D B.  D EX C.  E D.  P (Looks like an eye chart, doesn't it?) 2.   By default, how many secure MAC addresses does Port Security allow a port to have? Bonus: If that answer is non-zero, tell me how the switch determines what address or addresses should be considered secure. 3.   Convert the hex value 9F to decimal.
