MY CCIE JOURNEY

#1 setting up of access server failed still working on it ... i could telnet the server easily but i wanted to set up access server seeing from jermy in cbt .. may be we need to have some real hard ware i guess ... i saw chris bryant site to set up access server everything was fine in the console configuration

but

accessserver(config-line)transport input (instead of input i was getting out / preferred options so here i was missing the set up of access server )


#2 now coming to concepts ... i had few doubts on fd , ad and got cleared ..


k..

i learnt the basic concepts

they are

eigrp tables

eigrp packets

eigrp k values

and important point is that only two k values are used in calculation of path / cost .... the other three are not used ..and for two networks to talk to each other the important point would be same k values match . any mismatch would make topologies / routers ignore other router's packets

fd / ad part

implementation of eigrp with auto summary option on / off

loop backs(these are really handy for me instead of setting loop backs from vpcs / microsofts loop backs )

aliases (these were the tricks told by jermy in cbt ccie and worked great for me)

aliases (write once copy every where .. this i the beautiful step i dint even knew that copying and pasting can be done and all configs such as aliases and console preferences in one copy paste go wooooow thanks to scott morris )

ip default network and its output

ip 0.0.0.0 network ....

eigrp show commands ... important being the #show ip eigrp topo (alias is siet)

show ip route (ailas is sir hehe)

and editing of band width and delay for load balancing / for disturbing load balancing


the following is the newtork diagram and its configs

i advice the beginners to follow how i has written configurations and details about interfaces it really helped me and i was not wasting my time ...




and a small interface config with alias
