Time and time again I have noticed those whom are new to the industry wanting to pass certification exams ask for dumps. Dumps in general is just a list of questions and answers that you would face on the actual exam when you take the exam. Think back to a time when you were in grade school, did you ever have access to the questions and answers before you took your final exam? Even if you did, do you think memorizing the questions and answers would be a...

Well I figured I would write a new type of blog regarding a question that I see get posted on the facebook page all the time. What kind of job can you get with the CCNA? Well in order to answer this question accurately you'll need to provide a little bit more information. In general as a CCNA who is new to the networking industry and have limited IT experience than you should not be expecting much as you will find it hard to get your foot in...

The following blog has been compiled to provide information for the different type(s) of WAN Technologies. Keep in mind that Ethernet is a fast growing WAN technology with companies moving to deploy VPLS, MPLS and TLS Circuits for WAN connectivity. As a Cisco network engineer you will still encounter legacy WAN connections. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technologies are fairly common in the United States and other developing nations that provide broadband to customers over existing telephone wire infrastructure. The is however the limitation of distance which basically means...

For years people have used the old and untrusty DB60 DCE to DB60 DTE cables to simulate WAN connectivity between Cisco Routers using WIC-1T modules; and what I mean by untrusty is that these cables have a tendency to go bad after you move them around a lot in a lab environment. While the WIC-1T cards are extremely cheap, the DB60 DTE to DB60 DCE cables can cost anywhere between $5.00 to $15.00 each which can add up really fast in a lab that has more than 5...

One of the biggest misconceptions of all time in networking is the use of a traceroute to determine that your communication with a server has high latency. On windows, traceroute is the same command as tracert. Many people beleive that when they see high latency such as 250ms+ in a single hop of a trace-route that it means that that device in the transit path is responsible for the degraded network performance when in fact it could not be more further from the truth. First lets look at how...
