Someone borrow me a Cisco Layer 3 network device..

[saffakanera]

Hey guys, anyone got a spare / old Cisco router I could borrow? Writing CCNA in a month, packet tracer is fine, but I would really like to interface with the real deal. End of the month ill buy you a case of beer.

Sandton area.

Sorry dude, but I have to correct your grammar, You borrow from people, and lend to. So your Title should read "Someone lend me a cisco..." or "May I borrow a Cisco...."


Jeesh... thanx mom for drumming that cr@p into my head

Why not use something like Dynamips / Dynagen ? or is you are looking for Pix/ASA stuff there is PEMU (or something like that).

Cheers ...

use dynamips/gns3. it is sufficient for the exam and uses real IOS images

haha, thanks for the links man, appreciate it. Just thought the real thing would be good, but yea ill get the dynamips solution then

Any router in specific? I may be able to get you one - although it may be old and the options above better suited to writing an exam....

I just moved over to MWEB, maybe you should do the same ;-) Apparently its just that little bit quicker...

dynamips/gns3 will work great for ccna, remember to use vlan database for VLANS

R1#vlan database
R1(vlan)#vlan 10
R1(vlan)#exit

Good luck with the sudies

Conradl: Do you have any routers you would want to sell? starting up with a home lab

 

[saffakanera]

Sweet thanks for the info guys, if you guys got any tips n tricks for the CCNA lemme know, cheers.

Hey guys, quick question to anyone who did the CCNA or ICND2 exam, I see that the Sybex and Nuggets place a lot of focus, with regards to VLSM's, on class C, as well as classful subnetting etc.

Does the CCNA exam focus on class C more? Im asking this because im getting a bit worried about the host sizes in B and A, its gonna be a mission to calculate those!

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, its mostly in the 4th octet...however you should know how to at least write out for eg a /15 with starting and end ip's

Shot, got it, thanks man.

saffakanera, you should be able to do vlsm in your sleep irrespective of network class.

 

[gregmcc]
