These people are my colleagues! really nice people.. and in the end of the table yeah,that's me - it's nice to have icq and web access on your phone ;-) oh,yeah - this restaurant is the best sea food restaurant in Iceland, it's placed about 60km far from Reykjavik and the food was really cool.

ccie lab preparation


I just bought the new internetwork experts labs that I have stared working on,Internetwork experts are one of most recommended training companies for CCIE's and their labs looks hard
enough to prepare me for the real exam, so - the show began.

ccie written exam passed

Today I passed my CCIE written exam, to take the exam I used
SamHallabi BGP Book, Jeff Doyle - CCIE Tcp/ip Routing vol1 and vol2,
CiscoPress R&S Cert Exam Guide vol 2 (2006) and the popular
Cisco Documentation CD.

My impressions from the CCIE written exam are: This is an absolutely
pointless test, when you prepare for it you have to forget for all that
you know about how things are working, there were some crazy questions
in which you see more than two correct answers but you cannot choose
between any of them and the question doesn't say 'choose most right or the most correct'
or something specific which can direct you to the most correct answers.

I passed my CCIE Written Exam

So, You Want To Be a CCIE?, Part 2


Prepare yourself for "game day" of the CCIE exams in this second part of a two-part primer on Cisco's highest-level cert by the columnist of TCP Q&A.

by Scott Morris

July 2005 — Editor's note: To read part one of this two-part series, go here.

There’s never any point in time when you will truly know everything. Similarly, there’s never any point in time when the exam will be as bad as you may think it is until you try it! So you can spend years and years “studying” for the CCIE written exam and never think you know enough to take it. But you won’t know until you try. And you may also surprise yourself along the way: You probably know more than you give yourself credit for. (Either that or you’re really lucky!)

So, You Want To Be a CCIE?, Part 1



Get on the right path to Cisco's highest-level cert in this two-part primer by the columnist of TCP Q&A.

by Scott Morris

June 2005 — Editor's note: To read part two of this two-part series, go here.

Whereas desire alone can sometimes get you a certification, wanting to be a CCIE requires ambition and determination to endure a long and arduous trek across difficult technical terrain. After all, it’s one of the most sought-after certifications in the industry. As a matter of fact, more people want to be a CCIE than want to be the president of the United States, according to some surveys (obscure as they are). In my own poll, four out of five said they would rather be a CCIE than president!

force10-EANTC public report















I've read EANTC (europe advanced network testing center) performance report about Cisco vs Force10 (it's public and it can be found on internet) so we decide to ask force10 what they think about this report and they gave this answer, there it is:

rmon how-to



naloji mi se da configuriram rmon notificationi koeto ne e neshto osobeno,
vpechetliawashto beshe towa che sled kato razpitah se okaza che dosta malko
internet service provideri polzwat kakwata i da e forma na notification,
(izkliuchwam grafikite koito chertaiat za natowarwaneto na linkovete), ta
jelanieto mi beshe da napravia sistema (bazirana na niakakuw otvren code
kato razledah nagios/jffnms/opennms i dr) koiato da razpoznawa specifichni mibs
i da generira email/sms's kum grupa ot hora, za jalost ne mojah da nakaram scriptovete
koito biaha za tazi cel da rabotiat, kakto i da e, napisal sum na niakolko reda
v primer kak da se polzwa rmon i kak da nabliudawame skorosta na daden interface
na Cisco Device.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIB's that I'm using are private (they're working only on cisco devices)

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.8.ifindiex for Outgoing
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.6.ifindex for Incoming
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First,we need to find out what is the ID of interface's that we want to monitored , that's can happen with snmpwalk command - there is an example
(for it I'm using core1a and interface Gi2/12)

root# snmpwalk -Os -c -v 1 core1a | grep 2/12 "use grep to match wanted interface id"
ifDescr.60 = STRING: GigabitEthernet2/12 "there it is, ifDescr.60"

lets see what is the speed of Gig2/12 on incoming direction:


snmpwalk -Os -On -c -v 1 85.91.0.5 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.6.60
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.6.60 = INTEGER: 1055000

show inter gi2/12
GigabitEthernet2/12 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
....
10 minute input rate 1031000 bits/sec, 705 packets/sec
10 minute output rate 176000 bits/sec, 216 packets/sec
...

We add interface ID in the end of community string, just like as in the example:

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.6 <- show me incoming traffic then we add .60 [which is interface ID] 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.6.60 <- and it's became [show me incoming traffic on Gi2/12] Next Step is to create rmon configurations on the Router or Switch which is very simple: rmon event 1 trap nick description "ifInOctets Rising to Maximum" owner nick rmon alarm 1 lifEntry.6.60 60 absolute rising-threshold 650000 1 falling-threshold 620000 1 owner nick that said's, if rising-threshold reach 650Kbit/s generate trap to snmp-server/s, which is described as event 1 - it's not necessary to make alot of events u can make just few for all situations and using their ID's, falling-threshold is the normal threshold, the digit after lifEntry.6.60 [60] is how often to make check if rmon face the condition that we describe, the router will generate log just like this: Aug 20 10:49:23.110: %RMON-5-RISINGTRAP: Rising trap is generated because the value of lifEntry.6.60 exceeded the rising-threshold value 650000 Usefull links http://www.tldp.org/linuxfocus/English/January1998/article21.html [SNMPwalk] http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk961/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094478.shtml [RMON]

The Corporations, The Movie

Този филм може да преобърне представите ви за света в който живеем.

Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.
