-Authentication.

Switching Section.

-STP ( RSTP ).

-VLANS

-Port Security.

-Inter-vlan Routing.

Security Features.

-ACLs

-SSH

Other Features.

-NAT&PAT

-DHCP

-IPv6 ( in CCNA concern ).

Note: I may Edit this post.

4.18AM!……VLANSSS,VTP,EIGRP!!!!.

No I was not Dreaming about networking ( please tell me i`m not the only oneeeeee!!!! ), i was just playing with EIGRP,VTP and vlans mainly!!!! a 5 Router Topology, 2 acting as Switches! i decided to Practice , Routing and Switching, finished VLAN and VTP Portion of the ICND2! ( it lacks information -.- ) and wanted to play with it!!!!!! i have some Thoughts in my mind of something i just figure ( well its been a long time !! i realize it ) regarding Network Desing and other Stuff! maybe tomorrow i`ll post something! ( no promise ).

In other issued and almost Crazy!!!1 waiting for the books i ordered to finally arrive!!!! BSCI and BCMN cisco press Study Guide!, they will be my Phisical Reference ( cause i already have themmm on di…….. ). !!!.

see you later lets see if my brain wants some sleep!!!!.

Main Changes on CCIE Routing and Switching 4.0 Revision.

The main changes on the new CCIE R&S v4.0 certifications standards are:

1. The addition of MPLS/VPN, EIGRPv6 and the emphasis on troubleshooting.
2. The addition of a separated 2 hours troubleshooting section to the exam.

We did not remove any topics from the syllabus and we will cover the certification standards (aka blueprint) through 3 sections:

1. Open Ended Questions: up to 30 minutes.
2. Troubleshooting: up to 2 hours.
3. Configuration: up to 5 1/2 hours.

You can find more detailed information on the CCIE R&S v4.0 at

Very Cool Stuff, MORE TO LEARN, MORE TO HAVE FUN .

hi Maurilio Gorito.

I would really apreciate a more Inside View of the new Troubleshooting Section in the CCIE R&S 4.0 Revision.

Thank you in advacne.

Hi,

The Troubleshooting section will have a maximum of 2 hours. The candidate will be presented a series of questions or ‘trouble tickets’ for a given scenario or topology. The referred topology will pre-configured.

Based on the information provided such as IP addressing diagrams, IGP routing diagrams, and so on you will work to identify and fix the issues. You will be given points for working scenarios.

Regards,
Maurilio

Update#2:

Hello,

During the lab exam you will have access to the documentation online at http://www.cisco.com/web/psa/products/index.html.

Regards,
Maurilio

note: time to stat Being Familiar to the Products index

OSPF Hidden show commands. ( Part Two ).

I Decided to Ask in the Cisco Netpro Forums and this is The answer i got, For those of you who are curios of the “Hidden commands”

“I can not speak to the details of these hidden commands. But I can say that in general there are a number of commands that are not documented, and therefore are “hidden”. Many of them are inserted because they provide helpful diagnostic functions. But they may not have been through the level of testing and evaluation for Cisco feeling comfortable in making them generally available and documented. Because they are not documented they do not qualify for support assistance if you use them and something unexpected happens.

I would advise you to be cautious about using the undocumented commands. Many of them are helpful and useful, but some of them are dangerous.

HTH”

OSPF Hidden show commands.

Practicing some OSPF configurations ( Authentication Specifically ) i found that the show command “show ip ospf e” is not listed in the show ip ospf ? ! so it does not exist but it gives and output, and i decide to investigate and found very interesting stuff.

This commands are hidden in the IOS, the reason i do not know but here they are:

show ip ospf bad-checksum
show ip ospf delete
show ip ospf delete-list
show ip ospf ev
show ip ospf events
show ip ospf maxage-list

CCNA Topology Part I.

Back Again!, Today I`m Looking Foward to Make a Whole Topology For CCNA, and when i mean Whole i mean to cover Every Aspect of CCNA in one single topology, with that i mean , Frame-relay,PPP,HDLC,VTP,OSPF,Rip,IEGRP,NAT,ACLs and some other cool stuff. Knowing that some Technologies cannot be done on Dynamips like ISDN ( You`ll have to find a way by yourself). i will Upload My .net.

note: if you still do not know how the hell i`ll emulated cisco switches i remind you, that i will be using Cisco 3640 Routers with NM-16ESW Switching Ports.

Back to Dynagen.

Its been a long time My friend! jaja today i finally Took the descision to go back and use Dynagen front end in spite of GNS3, some events make me do it again, i have already run some Test Labs, and everything its looking fine, need to get used to some Dynagen comands and some other things, but everything its just fine, i have a Draft of a OSPF basic Conf that i`ll post this week, and ill post somewords regarding IOS Software Arquitecture Book later.

About Routers Arquitecture.

I am Really Amazed With Routers  arquitecture, principally with Next gen and Carrier Routers, today i finished reading a 3 post documentation posted by Himawan Nugroho (CCIE #8171 in RS, Sec and SP. ) in his blog (http://brokenpipes.blogspot.com) and i just have another way of seeing a router , and the way how packets are treatet inside the router Hardware, i have always asked my self how routers can do a complex job like running Ip Routing protocols, services, additional features and so on , in the software i  knew there were hardware issued that really helped the router, but not on this focus himawan gives, i recommend to anyone to read his documentation of Routers Arquitecture, and i looking foward to read  “Inside Cisco IOS software Arquitecture”, to learn more about Routers Deep secrets.!

The Path!.

Ok now that the FOCUS of this is very clear is time to Point Out the Path i`m taking to get to where i want. First of all you should know that i really want 3 CCIE path, which means very clear that I  cannot study Toguether the three paths!. so i`ll have to use the Serial aproachment One BY one, One at the time ETC!.

The Three Path i am Going to achieve ( Possitive Thinking ) are CCIE Routing and Switching, CCIE Service Provider and CCIE Security , which makes very clear that R&S track will be my First focus.

Now Going on to Bussines what do i need to get CCIE R&s in the lower layers i need to prove my knowledge in other low level certifications which are:

CCNA. ( exam 640-802).

CCNP:

642-901 BSCI	Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)
642-812 BCMSN	Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
642-825 ISCW	Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW)
642-845 ONT	Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT)

and then i should focus on studiying and practicing toward CCIE ( which will get a mayor revision release on octuber to CCIE 4.0 -.-) but i`ve planned something different ( you can post comments ) when i get my CCNP i am thinking on taking CCIP,CCNA Sec and CCSP, and then prepare for CCIE, but that ill figure it out when i have my ccna and my ccnp, Now that is the really focus.

Note: You can Post Comments on what do you think of this squeme there is no prob with it.

The Real Focus of this Blog.

Thinking and Reading About Other`s Blog i figure out Something i may have not let Clear The main Two Reasons Of this Blog. So Here we are To Point Them again. First of all this Blog Called “Myquest13″ This Means it is very much related to my step by step to gather the necessary knowledge to be a CCIE , when i mean CCIE i Mean being a Real Understander of Networking, i have lots of Goals which i`m organizing in a herachical manner so i can reach them in the way they should, till now i am working on my knowledge related to getting CCIE R&S ( that means taking CCNA,CCNP to prove knowledge whenever i feel ready to take any of those certifications exam ) being that clear The Second Reason is, i`m using this blog as reference to my configurations and anything i know i should remenber or understand so this mean ill have a way to catch up on anything i do not remenber or need to practice again using this blog.

This Brings some other things that may fit as objectives, meaning this can help people in some manner in their Journey to whatever they want or need ( regarding to Networking ), and my desire to do something that people can use as reference, do something and do it free, that is why i am planning on posting configuration videos on my youtube channel and uploading videos and configuration guides in my style , just like other forums and blogs do (like 7200emu,blindhog,netpro forums on cisco website etc) , so if someday someone really start reading this blog, stay tune and welcome to my Quest on achieving Eternal Networking Knowledge(lollll).
