krzysztof's mind map...

posted at ccieordie.com


Krzysztof Saleski CCIE# 24081 mind map…

this is an amazing effort and used to be available here:
http://inetcon.org/study/CCIE_RS_Quick_Review_Kit.pdf

however, this link is busted, or at least doesn’t point to this great pdf anymore… fortunately, i have a downloaded copy, and i don’t think krzyztof will mind as it has been posted free for a long time… so here it is… it lives:

more on wendell's new icnd2...

1. The sending VPN device  feeds the orignal packet and the session key into the encryption formula, calculating the encrypted data.

2. The sending device encapsulates the encrypted data into a packet, which includes the   new IP header and VPN header.
 

3. The sending device sends this new packet to the destination VPN device  

4. The receiving VPN device runs the corresponding decryption formula, using the
encrypted data and session key—the same key value as was used on the sending VPN
 device—to decrypt the data.


it is safe to say the icnd2 is no longer the same animal as it was... for those just starting out, go right to the new books... for those half way through ccna, go back to the beginning if you don't think you'll make it to the exam before october 1st... for those who have ccna or better, this is a must read...

wendell's new ccna series...

if you haven't done so already, get over to ciscopress and get wendell's new cnna book(s)...  this is a major departure from the last icnd1 and 2...  any self respecting network guy/ccna or better will want to read this right away... there are also many extras, videos, tests, etc... 

no matter your certification level, this is a must... it'll probably be quite a few years before another...

i got mine two days ago....

below is a post i did over on ccieordie.com

quote of the day, wendell…

of course i got the new ccna book (the icnd2, anyway) because this is monumental… it has been quite a while since there has been a sweeping change to this series…  anyone who has slaved through ccna will want to read this, no matter your current cert level… it also comes with extra content like videos, test engine, etc…  you owe it to yourself to take a walk down memory lane…

here is a nice sample tidbit…  you know by default the priority of a switch is 32,768 without the extended system id… when using the root primary macro, the new setting will be 24,576… you also know that priority is set in 4096 increments… but that’s an 8192 difference not 4096… do the math…

For the switch intended to take over as the root if the first switch fails, use the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root secondary command. This command is much like the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root primary command, but with a priority value worse than the primary switch but better than all the other switches. This command sets the switch’s base priority to 28,672 regardless of the current root’s current priority value.

again with the beginning...

ccieordie.com is the new beginning... 

when i first launched this thing it was dedicated to the struggles in the trenches... that's where it hurts the most... i do not envy those starting the journey, but i do envy the excitement of discovery...

this place is about the pain of adversity...

ccieordie.com will be about the new pain... i thought all along if i ever survived CCNA, and God willing CCNP, that i would launch a new site...

that has happened...

i'm going after CCIE like i always knew i would and i don't care who gives a shit...

this place isn't going away, but my sorry ass ruminations will mostly be chronicled there...

remember that none of it matters until CCNA...

ccie or die...

i'm building a new site dedicated to my pursuit of ccie...

it can be found here:

http://ccieordie.com/

be patient, content is coming...

this is the logical continuation...

gre instead of virtual link...

this is borderline trivia, and i think bad design, however... a very good reason to not use a vl is due to the DNA (do not age) or no dead timer...


where am i...

as you might imagine, i am currently lost... i went through a bout of decompression yesterday after finally consolidating CCNP... this has been a dream of mine for a long time and now that it is here it will take some getting used to... but i'm sure i will get used to it...

the fact is there is no celebration going on here...  there is only the work, more consolidation, going back to the beginning to move forward again...

there is some relief that there is no test in the coming months... i plan to wait until the first of next year before sitting the CCIE written... and that was always the plan; yesterday has not changed that... 

pucker time is over and i am happy about the loneliness of the long distance run ahead... there is no immediate fight; there is no rush; there is only the battle with me now... and for that i am grateful...

back to squares...

but i do like having this to keep me company:
