cleared CISSP

guys,

I cleared CISSP. Thanks for allowing to gasp some air. But here is the complete story on how i made it.

how to pass cissp
how to crack cissp
what it takes to pass cissp
sample questions of cissp

everything can be found on below link to my another blog on which I have completely explained it.

CISSP on Monday

I am so afraid!!!

done with ccnp in march.....next what!!!

CISSP

CCNP TSHOOT

The final step to the professional certificate is here. Need to take a deep breath and give the exam.

Will keep posted. How it goes.

Regards,
Ravi

TSHOOT : GNS3 Set UP

At last all working fine...!!!!

HOW TO PASS TSHOOT :: STRATEGY

I was wondering, how to pass the TSHOOT. I successfully completed the routing and switching. Now the big challenge is ahead : TSHOOT.

I was very confused on the approach I should take to pass this exam. Later, I though, let me put down what I actually know.

I started making complex networks. Making a complex networks you will always do some mistakes and you will start troubleshooting the issue. So I created some complex networks to understand the base line(just to revise myself).

Things I forgot were back in the brain. I started recollecting everything. CCNP CBT nuggets took me almost 4 months to understand and work it up during my routing exam. But to revise it now just took 6 hours.

Now that I am done, I started creating these big networks(making sure that I do mistakes in this process) and understand how that things should work in first place. Reading the error outputs, checking different commands, how to use these commands to workout for a solution.

I finally planned my strategy:
1> Start creating complex networks: you will definitely make mistakes.
2> Try including all routing protocols, all type of areas(like in ospf) in to one single network.
3> Throw frame relay just for fun
4> read as you go. if you are stuck at some point, go back to you routing books and videos and refresh them.
5> I planned the preparing the topics in the following manner
             1> routing protocols
             2> redistribution along with point 1
             3> switching
             4> etherchannel and high availability
             5> IPv6
             6> Finally prepare the network diagram given for the TSHOOT: just to make sure I understand everything and better understand how the network should work in first place.

I will try posting the scenarios which I prepared.

Regards,

TSHOOT OSPF

TSHOOT : EIGRP over NBMA

 In the above practical, I wanted to revise whatever I learned in CCNP route EIGRP:

Above diagram is in the GNS3 and to the right in the logical diagram of the network.

I covered following eigrp over
1> multipoint NBMA
2> point to point NBMA
3> point to multipoint
4> redistribution

I am going to paste the config of the R1 and R5. And outout from R7 and R4

why the above behavior based on the output shown below?

Now the new question is why Variance is 6??

Why

1> Changing the bandwidth caused the change in the output of the show ip route?

2> Why the best routes are via 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.4 and why not 192.168.7.2 any more?

3> Is there any other parameter that can be changed to make this work alike?

In the above network the switch 4 is now the root. I have changed the priority to 4096 for vlan 1.

How to change the priority?

Switch#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#spanning-tree ?
  mode      Spanning tree operating mode
  portfast  Spanning tree portfast options
  vlan      VLAN Switch Spanning Tree
Switch(config)#spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 4096


Now question is why the port F0/1 on switch 3 is amber???

STP: Understanding the basics of STP_chaging the interface speed

As soon as I changed the speed, the cost of the path increased and thus the SWITCH4 (the middle one) ports are mostly amber.

Switch>en
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#interface range f0/1 - 6

Switch(config-if-range)#speed ?
  10    Force 10 Mbps operation
  100   Force 100 Mbps operation
  auto  Enable AUTO speed configuration
Switch(config-if-range)#speed 10

Now the question is why the 2 O'Çlock interface is amber but the 12 O'Clock interface is green???

STP: Understanding the basics of the STP

Understand why the ports are green and amber. Remember that the order of values compared between BPDUs is:

1. Root Bridge ID (= Priority + VLAN + MAC address)
2. Total Root Path Cost
3. Sending Bridge ID (= Priority + VLAN + MAC address)
4. Sending Port ID (= Priority + Port index)
5. Receiving Port ID (=Priority + Port index)

Post that follow will have the same scenario.

VTP is already running. Switch 5(12 o'clock) is the vtp server with domain CISCO and all other the clients. None are in transparent mode for now. 


question is based on the information above which one of these switches is the root??

passed switch

I passes switch on 11 Jan with score of 945. Good one!

Now I will post the scenarios for the TSHOOT as i go along.
