did my lab today

Filed under: Allgemein,Certification,Lab — ocsic @ 22:49

but i probably failed.

I found it more difficult than the last time. There had been a lot of questions and i wasn`t able to finish all topics. I missed about 3 to 4 and others i`m not sure. So i will probably not pass. Did not get the mail yet, but i expect it like that. Now i`m just tired and want to sleep. But i will do it again.

ip igmp snooping for 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255

Filed under: Bridging + Switching,Multicast — ocsic @ 12:32

I have read about this subnet range, it`s not possible to disable the snooping feature on a switch. So routing protocols (like OSPF or EIGRP) are always forwarded to other ports regardless the snooping feature. Is that true? Someone with more informations on that.

——————————————————
In general, addresses from 224.0.0.1 to 224.0.0.255 are reserved and used by various protocols (standard or proprietary, such as Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)). Cisco recommends that you not use these for GDA in a multicast network. CGMP and IGMP snooping do not work with this reserved address range.

new dynamips version 0.2.8-RC2

Filed under: dynamips — ocsic @ 11:22

Thanks very much to the author Chris (Christophe Filot) for dynamips. Which is very helpfull preparing for the lab.

Mostly bugfixes, but also now with ISL trunking support.

GNS3 is also a nice tool for drag and drop a topology with the needed devices and IOS versions. It`a still a little bugy sometime, but if you can live with that, give it a try. It`s really nice.
