Cisco CCNP Training Course – Day 3 – ROUTE

Cisco, Networking, , , , , , , ,

On to-day 3, most of you have probably noticed that I am posting these online a day behind when I actually take the class, which is helpful, as I spend the evening typing up my notes and building the topologies etc in Visio. It’s a good way to re-cap stuff.

So I cheated a bit on the last post as I stopped before OSPF, so we hit all the main points in one big go.

So heres a quick summary of what will be covered in this post;

  • OSPF
  • OSPF Timers
  • Packet Types
  • Hello Packet
  • OSPF Convergence
  • OSPF Convergence Troubleshooting
  • Router ID
  • OSPF Virtual-Link
  • OSPF Authentication
  • DR/BDR Concept
  • Point-to-Point Links
  • Broadcast Multi-Access Network
  • Non-Broadcast Multi-Access Network
  • Point-to-Multipoint
  • Point-to-Point Subinterface

Cisco CCNP Training Course – Day 1 – ROUTE

Cisco, Networking, , , ,

Note: This is a dump from my notes of the day, I will write more posts on each subject for my training in the future and elaborate as I go on.

Just a quick late night post. Due to the changing of the CCNP exams from 31st January, its spurred me on to do something Exam wise, I’m self studying the CCNA Security, but after finding a cheap last-minute deal with the Knowledge Academy, I’ve booked myself on a 10 day CCNP course.

I don’t expect to be able to pass the exam’s at the end of the course, after all its essentially 3 Cisco Press books, once per exam (SWITCH, ROUTE, TSHOOT). And some training vendors offer this course for 15 days +. Therefore I expect to be catapulted into the CCNP curriculum allowing me to continue my deeper studies further and pass the exam.

Just before I booked this course, I also bought Chris Byrant’s video course on udemy.com (gave me free CCNA Security Videos too!), I’ve not watched the videos for the CCNP yet, but for the CCNA Security the website seems buggy!

What I learnt today – Start on CCNP Route

Welcome to my lightbulb moment

General,

Good Evening,

This is the first step into the wide world of an idea which has been burning away at me for some time.

I am a;

  • IT Technician,
  • Engineer,
  • Teacher.

I am a geek.

Having spent as much time being educated as educating, as it is a never ending circle. I have decided that maybe I should contribute back to the world, and therefore I’ve decided to offer training materials. This website is not yet complete, and will in time change dramatically, as will our services, which will be defined by your needs and wishes.

Currently we are still in the early days of prepping and writing the content. But I have already shared my vision with people I believe whom can provide the community the same amount of enthusiasm as myself.

To quote an old cliche, “Watch this space”

 

Over and out, Dean.
