CCNP Routing & Switching Exam Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Sir,
Greeting of the Day !!
I have passed CCNP route (642-902) and switch (642-813) exam in last year. now I am planing to give my TSHOOT in Dec 2015.
But 642-832 will be expiry on 29 Jan 2015. What I should have to do for complication of my CCNP certification.
Can I give new TSHOOT (300-135) in Dec 2015. If I do so then would it complete my CCNP or I have to pass the CCNP V2 route and Switch.
Please Help me.
With Thanks.
Dharam Thakur

You can take either TSHOOT exam to obtain the CCNP certification.

CCNP ROUTE or SWITCH which class/exam to take??

Hello
My CCNA expires in October but I will take a CCNP certification exam before then. I currently work in a NOC at a cellphone company but we're not using Cisco equipment. Therefore, my cisco skills are rusty. My question is: Which is the LEAST difficult exam to take, the CCNP route or CCNP switch? I would like to get both but my main objective is to be certified before my CCNA expires in October. Anyone with experience with these exams please help me out!! I plan on enrolling in the morning and want to give myself the best chance for sucess in a short period of time. Thanks!

ROUTE would be your best choice to take first.
I took SWITCH first as I figured I knew more about that than routing at the time. I worked with switches far more than routers but what I did not take into consideration was the routing knowledge you needed to have to pass the SWITCH exam, remember for CCNP think Layer 3 switches...CCNA Layer 2 switches, I did not pass the exam. I was already scheduled to take the ROUTE class the following week after my SWITCH exam, that I thought I would pass, so I switched gears and focused on the ROUTE exam. After the first two days of the ROUTE class I realized what I had messed up on with the SWITCH exam and would have passed it if I had this information. So I would highly recommend taking the ROUTE class and then take the ROUTE Exam. Then go on to the SWITCH after that.
Also the most important thing, go to The Cisco Learning Network website and make sure you review the Exam Topics. Based on the Cisco books and instructors what for the lines that start with the word "Configure", make sure you can configure those topics.
Hope that helps and good luck!

Will the expiring CCNP route exam still be valid with the newer Troubleshoot and switch 2.0 exams?

Hi everyone,
I plan on taking my CCNP (route) exam within the next month but I just notice that the exam will only be valid until Jan of 2015. Now my question is that if I take the exam older exam will it still be valid to combine the newer "Trouble shoot 2.0" and "Switch 2.0"? I would like to take the current route test instead of the newer version becaue I've been studying it but I like to know if it will be uselss or not when combining the other to make myself an official CCNP certification holder.

I have found on search:
Q. Can I mix the current exams with newer exams to achieve CCNP Routing and Switching?
A. Yes, it is possible to mix version 1 and version 2 exams, but if you completed version 1 exams for ROUTE or SWITCH, then you will need to prepare version 2 ROUTE & SWITCH as well in order to pass the TSHOOT v2 exam because the TSHOOT v2 exam assumes knowledge of ROUTE v2 and SWITCH v2 topics.
The answer is unclear, yes you can mix, but you will have to prepare for version 2. I hope it's wrong information.

The write-up more sounds like it's an 7206VXR router, a 6500E with Sup720.
FW/ASA/PIX is an ASA 5510

Regarding CCNA Routing & Switching certification.

Hi,
Benefits of CCNA Routing & Switching Certifications ?
What are the companies that will look for the certifiied candidates ?
How will this certification enhance my career and as well as pay ?
Can i consider this certfication just like our university certificates ?
What type of recognization we will have with the help of this certification?
Please input all of your views. I'm just in a confused state and getting all of these quesiton in my mind.
Regards,
Chandu

I can throw my two cents in as well
I believe when certifications were first introduced, it was a way for employers to "know" they are interviewing with someone who has experience in the field that their certification was in. In the early 90s, I remember seeing so many people drop out of school because bootcamps promised them they would make more money in six weeks of training than they would with a four year degree. Then employers started to ask for four-year degrees along with certifications. And finally, four-year degrees, certifications, and experience. I believe this is partly to blame for the big boom in online education....but, I digress.
I agree with everyone else on here about certifications are not necessary. But, I do believe they help. If a potential employer is looking through resumes and they come across yours, a CCNA on your resume would have you stand out quicker than a person with a four-year degree in MIS. Why do I believe that? Because, as devils_advocate mentioned, CCNA is focused, and it's assumed that if you put the time/effort into that certification, then you obviously know what path you're going to go down. The MIS degree is more broad, and an employer, from that degree, may not know what your focuses are on.
Personally, I would guard against one thing as I've run into this many times in my own career. Certification paths require you to takes tests that are in a track. Sometimes, those tracks have tests on subjects that you may never come across in the real world. That being said, you may apply for a position someone could be advertising for only to find out that it's heavily focused on the area of your certification that you've never had real experience in. For example, I had my MCSE back in the 90s. My "finishing" exam was Exchange 5.0. I was a consultant that managed other peoples networks and was basically a "jack of all trades" if you will. The problem was that I didn't have any real experience with Exchange until one client, a quite large one, called in needing help. The company I worked for stated that they had a certified Exchange administrator on staff and I could be out there pretty quick. Long story short, it was Exchange 2000 and they were two very different beasts. It took me quite a while to figure out what the issue was, but long story short, I didn't have enough real world experience with something that I was certified in. I'm pretty sure all of us at one time in this industry has experienced being in these uncomfortable situations at one point or another....especially if you're going the certification route.
I also believe that the certification tracks are a "cover all bases" route. I think vendors that design these tests are designed to build on your knowledge from the ground up, and eventually everything will come into full circle by the time you're certified in whatever path you choose. This is why you are required to have a valid CCNA before you can attempt other Cisco tracks (with the exception of CCIE (no prerequisite is required)).
I completely agree with Jon as well. Sometimes certifications are more for the holder of the cert than the company they're wanting to work for. The company may look at it as "awww that's nice", but it will help you get in the door. I would look at it as more of a personal goal and take the knowledge that you get from that and build on it. If you like it, it's well worth doing!

New router (switched from Linksys to Netgear 750 - HP J4680 printer all in one - and MAC

My husband puchase a new router - (we were told our old router failed on us) - we had no problems setting up the netgear 750 from the linksys router we originally had - we have a MACBook Pro
My HP printer J4680 - ran beautifully before the router switch - now will only work when directly connected from MAC to printer.
We have had several people troubleshoot for us -( we live in the country - no IT personnel nearby) - no one can seem to get the connection going between the two devices - I reinstalled the printer - read and reread the troubleshooting manual on both router and printer - and performed all the recommendations listed. The basic setup instructions on the HF printer say that despite the proximity of the printer and the router the signal in only fair and that it appears to have a "security" issue - I turned off the firewall settings on computer - no change in status.
we are contemplating returning the Netgear 750 for another linksys - could someone please tell me how or if we can solve this problem w/o having to return the router?
We purchased this particular router for the MAC compatability - the wireless printer is fairly new <<5yrs old and never had any problems w/it.
IT REALLY APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE I CAN GET!! THANX - maggiemae03815

Welcome to the forums maggiemae03815
I saw your post about the connection issues you are having with your new router, Mac computer and Officejet J4680. I understand you have done some troubleshooting already however, I have a suggestion or two for you to try.
On your Mac, try:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Re-add the printer (do not use the AirPrint driver)
Test print
Next contact the router company or your internet service provider to check the settings on your new router. There may be a setting that is blocking the connection to your printer:
Network name and password need to have no spaces or punctuation
If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal
Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer will only connect to g)
Mac filter needs to be turned off
Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security
Multicasting "on"
Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
I hope my post was informational!

Fail to sftp to Router/Switch for remote IOS/config upgrade

I have ssh2 enabled on a cisco3750 & 7204 running IOS 12.2 & 12.4 respectively both with "ip scp server enable" configured, the idea being to sftp configs & IOS down to them. I can open a V2 ssh session to each device no problem. When I attempt to use an sftp client (Putty/SecureFX) to do the file transfer the router/switch appears to authenticate OK but then the session is disconnected. I have logging & ssh/scp debug enabled on each cisco box and attempt to open the sftp connection. In each case the authentication (using same credentials as for SSH2 session) is successful but then the connection just closes. Can anyone help?

They don't make it real clear, but what you actually do is source from the router/switch. From the router/switch, you connect to a server that supports SCP and pull the IOS down or push the config to the server. You use the normal copy commands, but specify scp instead of tftp or ftp.
Hope that helps.

Modem and Router Switch off

Can I switch off both my Modem and Router at night, previously I was advised to keep my Router switched on 24/7 to maintain my speed, is this still the case with Infinity?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The modem on Infinity holds the connection so i would personally advise you keep the modem plugged in, the router should be fine to switch off overnight.
However, there is also a power save feature on the home hub as well.

Airport extreme won't work without router/switch

Hi all,
I'm a bit dumbfounded here and am hoping you can give me some answers. I've been having connectivity issues, specifically with random pages not loading while on wifi (all devices). They work just fine on my iPhone through LTE so I decided to try and isolate the issue to what hardware was causing my issues.
Previous setup:
Cisco DPQ3212 VOIP modem -> wired to legrand 10/100 router/switch (wired only) -> wired to Airport Extreme -> Airport Express (set to extend range).
I decided to try and eliminate the router/switch and start from scratch using only the modem and Extreme since that's the simplest setup.
I reset the Extreme to factory settings and unplugged it. Then I turned off the Modem (pulled power, etc.). I let both sit for a while to forget anything they may have been remembering. I then connected the ethernet, plugged in the modem, waited for it to get situated, and then plugged in the Extreme. Setup went fine, but I got 'no internet' and 'no dns' errors. Those went away randomly but the ip address I got was 169.xxx... so something was obviously was amiss.
I decided to go even simpler. Connected iMac directly to modem, reset the modem and voila, I had working internet. Thinking I did something wrong, I reset everything again and tried the Extreme setup. Same issue with connectivity. No internet and a bad IP. Tried the same thing with the Express and got the same errors, etc. Tried switching DHCP & Nat, Bridge Mode, you name it, nothing seemed to work. Airport utility shows green for the Airport but amber for the internet.
So I gave up. I connected the wired router/switch back up, reset everything, and it works again without a hiccup.
Summary:
1. Internet works when modem is connected directly to iMac.
2. Internet works fine connected wirelessly through Extreme (or Express) wired to the router/switch wired to modem.
3. Internet will NOT work when modem connected directly to Extreme or Express, despite factory resets.
So help me out... how can this possibly be happening????

Sorry for the super slow response. Shortly after posting the question my wife had a baby so I've been a bit preoccupied!
I'm using the following:
Airport Extreme: 5th Generation A1408 (version 7.6.4)
Airport Express: Current generation A1392 (version 7.6.4)
(if it matters) Legrand 10/100 4 port Router/Switch (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url =http%3A%2F%2Fwww.legrand.us%2F~%2Fmedia%2FE0E9D84B8E4E4F0EAF6DE2577C23AD7F.ashx &ei=x0rEU8aMHcnjoAT3qYCgBw&usg=AFQjCNGDfOvPP4Dd9k1Xx6FVDkNJi0DOrw&bvm=bv.7081008 1,d.cGU)
I don't have access to a plain switch or crossover cable unfortunately.
And yep, I'm using the WAN port. I get a green light every once in a while, but it really just doesn't work unless I add the other router back in there.
I have been taking the battery out and letting it rest for 30 mins each time.
FWIW, I'm doing all of this due to webpages not loading correctly. I did a trace route to discussions.apple.com and the results show something is obviously amiss. Here's what it says:

How to use a Westell 7500 as a router-switch ?

I have an extra Verizon Westell 7500 DSL modem router (A90-750015-07). How do I turn it into a router-switch that will take an ethernet (not DSL) network feed (with internet access) and distribute it among a few devices and put those devices into some kind of sub-network so they see each other? I'm not using technical terms here - please teach me.
My wife is going to rent a small temporary office that provides internet access via a socket in the wall. Let's assume it's a typical RJ-45 ethernet socket. The internet speed might actually be pretty good - maybe 30Mbs down and very fast up. The total internet capacity is shared with other temporary offices in the facility, but let's assume we'll have enough for our needs.
If the only thing I bring is a single computer, I could use a J-45 ethernet cable to plug its network card directly into this socket and be done. But I'll be bringing at least two computers and a small printer/scanner. Both computers will need to share the internet access, and both computers and the printer/scanner will need to "see" each other. (Just like at home.)
So, if I plug the extra Westell 7500 into the network wall socket and then my PCs and printer into the Westell, I should get what I need here, yes? How do I do this exactly, step-by-step?
I have experimented at home and have maybe 10% success. At home, I don't have an ethernet socket in the wall, but I do have my current (not Westell) modem-router, and it has an unused LAN socket, which I am pretending is the office's ethernet socket. I connected a test computer to the Westell 7500 and logged onto the Westell 7500's embedded server (192.168.1.1), changed its VersaPort from "LAN ethernet port" to "WAN uplink port", connected the newer modem-router's unused LAN socket to the Westell 7500's E1/Uplink socket with a J45 cable, went to the Westell 7500's "Advanced" page and ran "Detect WAN Configuration". That changed the Westell 7500's "WAN uplink port Settings Protocal" from PPPoE to Routed IP. The Westell 7500 now also says its "Broadband Connection Type" is "Routed Bridge".
The test computer connected to the Westell 7500 shows it is connected to the Westell 7500, but it cannot connect all the way through to the internet. At the start, the newer modem-router shows the Westell is connected to it, and the newer modem-router has given the Westell a DHCP address of 192.168.1.5. But after a few minutes, the newer modem-router doesn't show the Westell any more. If I re-run Detect WAN Configuration on the Westell 7500, it says "Automatic Protocol Detecion is in progress" but then "DHCP server was found ... PPPoE server not found", and then the newer modem-router shows the Westell 7500 again as 192.168.1.5. But the test computer does not have internet access.
What exactly should I do with the additional settings in the Westell 7500 to make this work?
If there's a great web site to explain this to me, please point me there.
Thanks.

Trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?

I am trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?
The Apple update Firmware for my Airport Extreme Base Station does not update for some reason? Help?
Additionally, I have an older version Airport Express that does not update with the newer Airport Utility Version 6.3 and asks me to download 5.6 to update? Is this worth it?
Thanks

The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

Why assign IP addresses to router/switch interfaces?

I get why I would ever want to assign a IP address to a router or switch, for remote login and IP for hosts to reach it. But why assign IP addresses to the interfaces? Is it so the router/switch knows which port to send the packet out? Route summation? But I thought they do that through the routing table, like " that address is out this port".
So why would we ever need to assign IP addresses to specific port interfaces?

You normally assign IP addresses to L3 interfaces so other L3 devices have an IP address to forward traffic to. (L2 IP address are generally only used for management.)
Suppose you had Host (192.168.1.5/24) <> R1 <> R2 <> (192.168.2.8/24) Host, and you want the two hosts to intercommunicate. How would you get this to work?
You might started by providing interface IPs on the router interfaces facing the host, such as:
Host (192.168.1.5/24) <> (192.168.1.1/24) R1 <> R2 (192.168.2.1/24) <> (192.168.2.8/24) Host
You then configure "gateway" IPs on both hosts:
Host (192.168.1.5/24 - GW 192.168.1.1) <> (192.168.1.1/24) R1 <> R2 (192.168.2.1/24) <> (192.168.2.8/24 - GW 192.168.2.1) Host
Now each hosts "knows" to send all its off local subnet, traffic physically to the GW IP. So, for example, if 192.168.1.5 want to sent to 192.168.2.8, it would forward the traffic to the GW IP, 192.168.1.1. This is a example of why you want an IP on the router's L3 interface.
Next we want R1 to forward the packet to R2, but it too needs a "next hop" IP address, so we assign addresses on the link between the two router, e.g.:
Host (192.168.1.5/24 - GW 192.168.1.1) <> (192.168.1.1/24) R1 (192.168.3.1/24) <> (192.168.3.2/24) R2 (192.168.2.1/24) <> (192.168.2.8/24 - GW 192.168.2.1) Host
R1 then needs to "know" where to send packets with an destination IP network of 192.168.2.0/24, in this case, it need to "know" to send the to IP 192.168.3.2. When it does, R2, having and interface with 192.168.2.1, will also know 192.168.2.8 can be reached by sending the packet out that interface.
Hopefully, the above will show why IP addresses on router L3 interfaces are needed.
BTW, normally for the R1<>R2 link, you would assign a /30 or /31 network or you might use "unnumbered" interfaces (which "borrow" IPs from another interface).

Link an 871 router/switch wirelessly to an ISP-provided DSL modem//router?

Hi, Upstairs we have a 20-Mbps ISP-provided DSL wireless modem/router, and one floor lower, in basement, I would like to install a refurbished 871 Cisco router, without adding a separate Internet connection. I would like the 871 to connect wirelessly to the DSL router. To the 871 I would wirelessly connect 2 workstations, one of which will host 3-4 virtual machines. The 2 main reasons for this weird arrangement are so my virtual machines and virtual switch do not interfere with upstairs devices connected to the DSL router, and so I can practice Cisco router//switch configuration downstairs where I reside, without added expense of a separate Internet connection. Would I need a separate repeater between the two routers? Humbly requesting any other feedback.
Jeff

To have all routers using the same Network Name and wireless password, you would have to configure them for a roaming network. This would require that the Extreme and Express connect individually back to the Pirelli router via an Ethernet connection.
