Posting from iPhone… More to come later

OK…  So what means what?

What keyword in a problem statement will tell me to use LLC (priority) or just the bandwidth command?

Auto RP vs BSR?

What keywords do you think tell you to do what?  There has to be millions!  I’d like to see what you all think.  Not just about QoS or Multicast of course…

Let’s hear it!

Well another Narbik bootcamp is over.  Certainly glad I attended the second one.  Picked up a few things I missed first time around and now I’ve got some more gear to go over…

I’ve booked a date for the Lab too.  I wont tell you what it is though!

You know why these things are called 2600s?

That’s how long they take to reload!!

2600/60 (seconds) = 43 minutes.

Move along… Nothing to see here.

Here I am back in Sydney for the second edition of Narbik’s bootcamp.  It would appear he likes to add bits and peices to each course he does, which is good I think…

Mind you, I am stuck here with no credit card and $40 cash to my name.  The bank is being a PITA, and I cant get a new card until at least Thursday.  I’m not going to whinge…  I’ve got too much stuff I need to do.  Like more L2 in preparation for OSPF today!

Been a while since Ive written hasnt it?

Well right now I am in sunny Sydney, it is 21º and I am in Narbik’s training room looking out the window at the Sydney Cisco office.  I am resitting his bootcamp like he recommends, and I think I will schedule my lab for a fortnight after I finish the course.  I’ll write during the course my notes and thoughts.

Hope you didnt miss me too much!  Do you even remember me?

PS My site was ravaged with spam bots so I had to do a complete cleanout of the thing…  Hope not too much stuff is missing but I think I might need to fix some ads up….

Narbik always recommends one attends his Bootcamp, study, then attend another one.  Narbik just so happens to have one coming up in Sydney from 29th September to 3rd of October.  He offers the resit for free too…  Makes sense I suppose as you have already been supplied with the training materials so you don’t need to pay for them again…

I found Narbik’s course excellent, and the best training course I have ever attended, except for ones I delivered of course   (in case you forgot I am a CCSI and MCT)

All jokes aside, Narbik has upcoming courses in USA in California in October, November and December; Dubai in October and December; Malaysia in October and Amsterdam in September and December.  Please stay out of the “Coffeeshops” in Amsterdam whilst attending the course.

If you want to get your CCIE studies well on track, then I urge you sit one of these courses.  However if you live in Adelaide, then do not sit one of these courses.  I would prefer it that there were less CCIEs here as it would make me look better.

This is what I will be doing next, just to recap then ts off to the land of the big bad assessor lab!

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.

Done Security now..  I dont mind security.  As we all know, all you need to do with Security is change a few ACLs here and there, isn’t that right?

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!
