This book walks you through from logging in to making your router changes right from the beginning of the book. Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:01:46 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/90012801.asp Any client computer, laptop or wireless device with a compatible wireless client adapter allows connectivity with an access point. The client adapter is a radio transmitter with firmware that supports any of 802.11a/b/g signaling. That is needed before the device can associate and authenticate with the access point. Tue, 2 Nov 2010 18:26:06 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/90021801.asp The wireless site survey is an assessment of signal coverage per each access point within a specific building. It confirms with the client 100 percent coverage at a specified signal guaranteeing employees will have no issues with sending wireless packets across the network. Wed, 13 Oct 2010 14:31:24 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/90022001.asp The network switch is the most common network device with most network infrastructure and as such selection of new switches or upgrading is a key part of most network design projects. Wireless designs will have switches interfacing with access points. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94010903.asp You must be prepared to reload a router when it wants an enable password, because if you don't, and there's no one available who does, you'll need to perform a password recovery technique on the router - without erasing the current configuration. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94030302.asp When you make the decision to put your own home lab together for your CCNA and CCNP studies (a very wise decision, if I may say so!), the hardest part is figuring out how to spend your budget. Do you spend it all on the routers and go with a cheaper switch? Do you buy a frame relay switch? Do you buy an access server? Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94030303.asp The basic ARP operation is simple enough. We concentrate on IP addressing a great deal in our studies and our jobs, but it's not enough to have a destination IP address in order to send data; the transmitting device must have a destination MAC address as well. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94030404.asp CCNAs and CCNA candidates hear it all the time: "Get some hands-on experience". There is no learning like hands-on learning. No simulator in the world is going to give you the experience you will get cabling and configuring your own routers. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94030405.asp Walking into a testing center for the first time can be a nerve-wracking experience. You've got enough on your mind just keeping all that new information straight without worrying about what the testing experience will be like. Let's take a look at what you should expect when taking your first Cisco certification exam. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94030406.asp One reason is that Cisco demands you know the OSI model inside and out for both the Intro and ICND exams. You have to admit that's a pretty good reason, but still, students find the OSI model information to be very dry. I understand that, because I've been there. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94040202.asp Ah, the technical interview. Nothing like it. Not only does it cause anxiety, but it causes anxiety for several different reasons. Having been on both sides of the technical interview table, I'd like to share some tips for those being interviewed. In doing so, I'll share some of the more memorable interviews I've been involved in. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94040302.asp Network security is a hot topic today, and will only increase in importance in the months and years ahead. While most of the attention is paid to exterior threats, there are some steps you can take to prevent unwanted Cisco router access from within your organization. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94041402.asp The decimal numbering system, concerns itself with units of ten read from read from right to left. Hex numbers are read much the same way, except the units here are units of 16. The number "15" in hex is read as having five units of one and one unit of sixteen. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94041504.asp There are now two separate paths to the CCNA certification. Candidates may take a single exam, 640-811, or two exams, 640-821 and 640-811. What's the difference? The two-exam approach involves exams with different topics and therefore different preparation techniques. The approach I recommend to a CCNA candidate depends on their background. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94041603.asp There are plenty of articles out there about how to prepare for the CCNA exam. However, there are also things you can do to increase your chances of success on exam day during the most important part of the entire process - the time that you're actually taking the test. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT http://bucarotechelp.com/networking/zcisco/94041703.asp The CCNA is an exciting beginning to your Cisco career, but just having the certification simply isn't enough. A recruiter or interviewer isn't going to be impressed just with the cert; you've got to have some real-world knowledge to back it up. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:35:43 GMT
