Cisco Certification: The "Secret" Key To Getting Your CCNA And CCNP
Author: Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
Whether you're working on your CCNA or CCNP, Cisco certification
exams are the most demanding computer certification exams in the
IT field. Cisco exams are not a test of memorization, they're a
test of your analytical skills. You'll need to look at
configurations and console output and analyze them to identify
problems and answer detailed questions. To pass these demanding
exams, you've got to truly understand how Cisco routers and
switches operate - and the key to doing so is right in front of
you.
The debug command.
Of course, there is no single "debug" command. Using IOS Help,
you can quickly see that there are hundreds of these debugs, and
I want to mention immediately that you should never practice
these commands on a production router. This is one major reason
you need to get some hands-on experience with Cisco products in
a home lab or rack rental. No software program or "simulator" is
going to give you the debug practice you need.
Now, why am I so insistent that you use debugs? Because that's
how you actually see what's going on. It's not enough to type a
frame relay LMI command, you have to be able to see the LMIs
being exchanged with "debug frame lmi". You don't want to just
type a few network numbers in after enabling RIP, you want to
see the routes being advertised along with their metrics with
"debug ip rip". The list goes on and on.
By using debugs as part of your CCNA and CCNP studies, you're
going beyond just memorizing commands and thinking you
understand everything that's happening when you enter a command
or two. You move to a higher level of understanding how routers,
switches, and protocols work -- and that is the true goal of
earning your CCNA and CCNP.

Cisco CCNP/BSCI Exam Tutorial: Rip Update Packet Authentication |
|
When you earned your CCNA, you thought you learned everything there is to know about RIP. Close, but not quite! There are some additional details you need to know to pass the BSCI exam and get one step closer to the CCNP exam, and one of those involves RIP update packet authentication.
You're familiar with some advantages of using RIPv2 over RIPv1, support for VLSM chief among them. But one advantage that you're not introduced to in your CCNA studies is the ability to configure routing update packet authentication.
You have two options, clear text and MD5. Clear text is just that - a clear text password that is visible by anyone who can pick a packet off the wire. If you're going to go to the trouble of configuring update authentication, you should use MD5. The MD stands for "Message Digest", and this is the algorithm that produces the hash value for the password that will be contained in the update packets.
Not only must the routers agree on the password, they must agree on... |
