MST – not hard, but I dont get much exposure to this so I will do it again

DAI/DHCP Snooping – not something I do much either

BGP – Conditional advertisement, aggreration with leaking specific routes, communities and regexp (is there anything else left in BGP? )

Multicast – not difficult, but not exposed that much to it.

That means I have finished all of Narbik’s Advanced Technology Books.

I will go through the sections I think I didnt do too well in, then sit an assessor lab to see how I am really going.  My next post will be about the topics I wish to cover again before sitting the assessor lab.  Thing is, it seems so long since I did switching or OSPF that I might have forgotten it all!  No L2/L3 means dont bother with anything else in my opinion.  Ill go and have a quick look and see how much I really did forget.  Hopefully not much

Now I am going off to drink beer with my new workmates!

“make sure bandwidth is reserved during congestion” = MQC Bandwidth

“limit to xxx” police

“expedite forwarding” prioity [bandwidth|percent]

etc etc

Remembering some of the formulae required can be a bit of PITA as well.  I can remember ohms law from school electronics class so Bc = CIR * Tc shouldnt be too difficult now should it?

I have to criticise Narbik now.  Just finished a book labelled Volume 5 of his advanced technology focussed workbooks.  Thinking I am ready for some mock labs and all that.  Forgot that Volume 5 is actually two books.  Damn you Narbik!  Go back to Carlton United Breweries and drown in a vat of crappy beer or something.  Speaking of Narbik and beer, I recall buying him his first Coopers Sparkling Ale when we were in Sydney.  Best beer on the planet!

Damn… Just picked up the second half of Volume 5 and realised I still have 30 more pages of QoS to do.  Back to it…

I think I will do ok…  I’ll need to watch out for the “make sure xxx happens” though.  Same old, same old.

Its not 5:30pm Friday night.  What should I do?  More study, or go out?
