Cisco ROUTE: Brace Yourselves!

So, I just completed the new CCNP Cisco ROUTE exam while preparing to create the next CBTNuggets series...WOW! What a test. Simply put, if you don't really know what you're doing, you won't pass this test. What Cisco has been able to do with the simulation engine is amazing. Typically, the simluation engine for testing is limited to basic objectives (set the password to such and such, change logon banners, etc...). In this world, you'll experience powerful, multi-path simulation engines. No more bullet list of objectives to accomplish - you've got to pull your requirements out of a (fairly complex) scenario and put your ninja configuration skills to the test.

GNS3: Using SecureCRT w/Tabs

GNS3SecureCRT

After much pain and toil, I have finally gotten SecureCRT 64-bit to integrate with GNS3 where each connection opens in it's own tab with the correct hostname. Here is the string I used (Under Terminal Preferences):

c:\PROGRA~1\VANDYK~1\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.exe /T /N %d
 /telnet 127.0.0.1 %p

Found this helpful tip on this forum post.

Anything Cisco or iPhone are always interesting. Anything Cisco AND iPhone are great! Two interesting updates from Cisco:

1. Apple announces the next iPhone software update (v4) will include Cisco SSL VPN support (If only those SSL VPN license upgrades weren't so freakin' expensive!)

2. iPhone Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) To Go Application gets upgraded to Version 3 (get security alerts as they happen)

Cisco IOS Shortcut: pipe exlude

If you have ever been working on a large Cisco chassis, undoubtedly you've had to hit space bar about 100 times when you issue show commands that include all the interfaces. Well, here is a quick time saver for when you are using the show ip interface brief command and you just want to find interfaces that are not admin down. Here's how it works:


A normal show ip interface brief results looks like this:
