The Handy, Dandy Cisco Product Quick Reference Guide

This guide rocks - it's every router, switch, or miscellaneous widget that Cisco makes and the modules each can handle. Very handy when trying to figure out what to buy for a project. You can conveniently download it from here. -Summer 2008 Edition

Template Parameter Access List

My friend Mike Storm has come up with a good "base" ACL for use on Internet facing routers and firewall devices. While he has it listed on his blog, I am referencing it here for my own future reference.

Assuming my PubNet range is a block of 32 66.238.29.0 - 31. See below

! no fragments
access-list 100 deny tcp any 66.238.29.0 0.0.0.31 log fragments
access-list 100 deny udp any 66.238.29.0 0.0.0.31 log fragments
access-list 100 deny icmp any 66.238.29.0 0.0.0.31 log fragments
! no snmp inbound from the Internet
access-list 100 deny udp any any eq snmp
access-list 100 deny udp any any eq snmptrap

Looking for a Cisco Job?

I never knew this, but Cisco has a "Cisco Learning Network Job Portal" to help you find jobs by certification level. Looks pretty awesome!

CCNA Voice...It's Finally Here!

My latest work has finally come to fruition: Cisco Press CCNA Voice. In approaching this book, I took a different strategy of writing. Rather than focusing solely on covering exam topics, it's written from a "let's build a VoIP network...step-by-step." It contains configuration example after configuration example, which is what I love when I'm looking for technical documentation. Check it out!
