    RSTP + Stack

    My first thought is, what is your purpose for using the unmanaged switch, with a connection between each of the 3750's? This is just asking for issues in my opinion. Are you trunking to the unmanaged switch, or is just setup as access ports? Do you have any BPDUGuard or Portfast enabled on the...

    Call Manager to Bogen for Overhead Paging

    Not having the gear right in front of me immediately, you need to have a an RJ11 plug into one of the ports on the FXS card, and connect into the TMB2. Do you know if the router/gateway the FXS card is inserted on configured as H.323 or MGCP Gateway? Makes a difference in the programming. Big...

    Renew Cisco certifications

    The nice thing (I think) about renewing, is as long as you take any exam at or above the level you are at, it will renew all of your certifications. So, you can take any exam starting with a 642-xxx and it will renew your Professional level certifications and Associate level certifications Can...

    Setting up a voice and data vlan on a switch

    Here is also an artical on LLDP that may help as well. http://packetlife.net/blog/2010/oct/4/link-layer-discovery-protocol-lldp-catalyst-3560/ I know of some people that actually did try setting up trunk ports to each phone, so that could be a method. Otherwise, you can put both voice/data in...

    Time running out....

    I have until the end of February to get a test in to renew all my certs. Obiviously worked too hard to let it lapse. Been slowly working on the CCIE RS written..I have a fall back if necessary, but for my own gain, would like to get through the written. Anyone out there have any suggestions...

    Forwarding calls from Cisco to Fujitsu not working

    Can you dial the voice mail pilot number directly from Cisco and get anything different than the busy tones? I've run into several issues going from a non-Cisco phone system to Unity Voicemail, but this does sound familiar. And maybe I missed it but from the example you gave above, where does...

    Which CCNA certification to start with?

    Been awhile since I looked at the CCNA levels, but I honestly think you can't go wrong with having a foundation in the Routing and Switching no matter which track you ulitately want to go down. I have both Routing and Switch as well as Voice certifications, and one of the things that I think...

    TAKING THE CCNA FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

    Granted, been a long time since I've taken the CCNA, but I took it in the 2 parts. I did however take the CCNP routing and switching tests combined. I think there is good and bad to both. You get the same amount of matierial in both tests, difference can be (just as an example) you might have...

    Route Summarisation question

    I think you are correct just giving it a quick look. What book are you using? If from ciscopress, go check and see if there is an errata for it. I've learned the hard way, there are mistakes in the books, but they have done a good job of correcting them and adding updates to the website.

    Failed CCENT THREE times

    Don't let it get you down. The exams are tough. I hate to think how many exams I've failed over the years. One thing I always do before I start preparing for a test, is I start reading reviews for the books I intend to read. Make certain you are getting the "good stuff." Some authors are...

    Ethernet Disconnected

    the times I've run into the Ethernet Disconnected message, so far 100% of the time it has been a cabling issue. Either a patch cable or the drop itself. PC would work fine, but the PC's seem to be far more tolerant of cable faults...ie, faults on pins 457and8. The phones are not as tolerant.

    Old phone guy wants to be Cisco voice guy?

    you could spend a lot of time trying to figure out the scoring, so I'd suggest not wasting your time. Nice job on the NAT and ACL's section, I remember that was a confusing subject at the time I went through the CCNA years ago, same with IP addressing scheme. Since you don't have a lab, I'd...

    Old phone guy wants to be Cisco voice guy?

    first off...congrats on the ICND1. For ICND2, definitely don't give up. Whenever I fail an exam (and I've failed plenty), I use it as a reference for studying later. The break down of the scores should hopefully give you some ideas on the areas you need to re-focus on. What did you use for...

    complete Newbie, where do I start with 3ea 1720's and 2ea 2950's

    There is a lot you can do with that gear. I would recommend possibly trying to get 1 more switch if you can. Just to get a good feel for all the spanning-tree things. Here is a quick over view of what I'd try and setup. Especially if you are just learning. 1. 2 routers, cross connect via...

    Domain to internal IP conversion

    You can do it with NAT, but you will need an external address for each internal host. Another option would be directing individual ports from the outside, to specific hosts on the inside. I've done this with web servers before, just pointing port 80 to a specific address behind the external...

    Cisco QoS for Speed Testing Sites

    I think you are still going to run into potential of some of those speed tests being "starved" out especially under congestion. There might be better ways of handling the over subscription, but would you really want to put a speed test traffic as a higher priority over something else? I think...

    Help for Cisco 2600 Router Set Up For Home Lab

    I'm not sure why your ISP would have told you to that you needed that extra module. I have a 2600 running at home with 1 ethernet internet connected to the cable modem, and the other connected to my internal LAN. The interface I have facing my cable modem, is setup to get a DHCP address from...

    Time for CCNA recertification!

    At this point, you don't really have an option for the 640-460 exam. Looks like it was retired Feb 2011. If I were in your shoes, and had already passed a 642-xxx exam, I'd probably keep going down the path towards the CCNP Voice, however you will need to finish before your CVoice exam expires.
