I think I’ve figured out part of the problem I’ve been having. I haven’t been entirely focused on my studies, and I don’t really have a set goal right now. I’ve been dancing with the idea of skipping the CCNP and going straight to the IE written. Because of that, I’ve been reading chapters in [...]

My wife took the baby with her to another baby shower today. She left me alone so that I could get some studying done. I dunno what happened, but I’m going to call today a wash. I struggled to focus on anything, and stay with it. I made it through another [...]

I think I’m coming down with a stomach bug/flu. I’ve been sick all weekend, and was very lethargic all day.
Even still, I made it through the route manipulation/redistribution chapters and labs today. The labs only covered redistributing RIP into OSPF and OSPF back into RIP. nothing with RIP/EIGRP, or EIGRP/OSPF, so I [...]

Made it through IS-IS and the labs this evening. My wife’s done a decent job of keeping the kids out of my hair long enough to get me through all of this.
I also looked through the Network Academy curriculum and chapter test for IS-IS. I ran across a question that I didn’t see [...]

I hate it when I cut cables wrong and don’t check them before I need to use them. I cut a T1 x-over cable for the T1 WICs I have sitting around and didn’t bother to check it. I went to use it tonight and I have the wrong 4/5 pin pair. [...]

I got through Chapter 4 of the Authorized Self Study guide today and completed the lab scenarios listed in the book. I’m starting to become more and more concerned about the labs provided in the book. The EIGRP chapter covered stub configurations and authentication, but there was nothing in the labs to cover the configurations [...]

I’ve commented about my home lab setup. I’m hyperlinking to the photos because of the size of them. It was messing up the wordpress page.

Yes, it is in my kitchen/dining area. No, my family isn’t really thrilled about it (well, the 16 month old loves to play with it).

finally have some time to work on some labs today. I don’t go into work until later for an IP cut over this evening, so I’m taking a bit of time to work on labs and study this morning. This is truly the first time I’ve really had to sit down and work through labs [...]

I’ve been using a 12U two post stand for my gear. I outgrew that rack in a hurry and since then, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my gear. In my last post, I mentioned the list of equipment I have.
Well, yesterday morning, I found a full sized [...]
