Cisco 3D Product Catelog Application

Recently while watching INE CCIE DC Nexus Class, Brian McGahan over here :

http://www.ine.com/all-access-pass/training/playlist/ccie-data-center-nexus/nexus-hardware-architecture-100121011.html

He showed Cisco 3D product catalog application. While the application was originally designed for IPAD and IPhones. I found that application is also available for Desktops. All you need to do is to download one application first to open the catalog and  second the catalog file itself. Both files can be find here:

Similar sort of application is also available for Cat 6500

CCIE R&S Routing Study Plan - IPv4

Every once in a while I get this request to write a CCIE R&S Routing Study Plan similar to CCIE R&S Switching study plan :

http://deepakarora1984.blogspot.com/2010/03/ccie-r-switching-study-plan.html

So lets list all routing topics and allow me to list my attack plan for each of those starting with RIP today... I'll keep adding for rest soon...

1. RIPv2

2. EIGRP

3. OSPF

4. BGP

5. REDISTRIBUTION

6. Learning each of above mentioned routing protocol from MPLS prospective.

Misc :

1. ODR

2. PBR

3. OER/PFR

4. Understanding CEF & IOS Switching

5. Understanding Load Sharing Vs Load Balancing

6. Protocol independent features

So lets begin with RIP for today :)

  RIP

####

1. INE R&S ATC VODs RIP Lectures 

http://www.ine.com/self-paced/ccie-routing-switching/bootcamps/ccie-routing-switching-advanced-technologies-class.htm

2. Jeff Doyle's TCP/IP Vol 1(2nd Edition) 

Two Chapters Just Talking about RIP along with some very good corner case scenarios. Technically one chapter talks about RIPv1 which is not on blueprint but still a good read to grasp fundamentals.

Make sure you test all RIP labs given in this book along the way.

3. Read about RIP from Ruhann's R&S Handbook :

http://routing-bits.com/handbook-for-rs/

4. Enough Theory ? .... Not yet :) ... Move onto RIP Technology Page

 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/tk554/tsd_technology_support_sub-protocol_home.html

5. Okay... Enough Theory...Time to get some hands dirty with RIP Labs.

Alternatively you can follow any good R&S workbook vendor's RIP Technology Labs like - INE (www.ine.com) , IP Expert (www.ipexpert.com) Or Narbik (www.micronicstraining.com) ...Whatever works best for you

6. Some important blog posts.

http://ardenpackeer.com/routing-protocols/tutorial-troubleshooting-split-horizon-issues-part-1/

http://ardenpackeer.com/routing-protocols/tutorial-troubleshooting-split-horizon-issues-part-2/

7. Enough ? :)... Not Yet... Lets move to final phase and read through IOS 12.4T RIP configuration & command reference guides along with 12.4 T IOS Independent Feature Guide/Command Ref and make sure next time you know where to find what.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_rip/configuration/12-4t/irr-12-4t-book.html

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_rip/command/irr-cr-book.html

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_pi/configuration/12-4t/iri-12-4t-book.html

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_pi/command/iri-cr-book.html

8. Though by this time you should be good with RIP troubleshooting as well, but just to add one extra bit, INE R&S Troubleshooting Class On Demand is an excellent resource to prepare for this part.

Some Nice Surprises

My First Grammy Award

Finally on Dec 21st INE put my name on it's blog with a little thanks note and a lovely gift. Though CCIE is not finished yet but it's nice to see that a major CCIE vendor and elite team of experts recognized your name.


Feels like I got my first Grammy Award.  

But CCIE number is yet to come. So need to put lots of hard work in coming months.


But another thing I forgot to mention above is that it was second time when I found my name on INE blog. :-)
