“An excellent book!” Principles Here is a Cisco video on the product they hyped as changing the internet. Most non-IT persons don’t understand how much data this router can move so the message was lost on the general public. This router will definitely changes things since it provides the backbone for streaming video to . . . → Read More: Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System I’m not really sure how this happened but Bing was suddenly set to be the default search engine in Firefox. I was installing software on my PC and one of them made the change without my noticing. I really don’t mind using Bing occasionally but for most searches I prefer Google. I know as a . . . → Read More: Bing takes over Firefox Here is the link to download a beta version of Office 10. http://us2.office2010beta.microsoft.com/product.aspx?sku=10199928&culture=en-US It doesn’t seem like Office 2007 has been out that long but it really has been a while. You’ll need a Windows Live ID to download . . . → Read More: Microsoft Office 10 Beta I use Firefox most of the time but here is a link to download a demo of all the new features of Internet Explorer 9. http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/ It’s really just a demo of the features on IE 9 so the actual browser is not even available as a beta. The preview let’s you see some of the new features. . . . → Read More: Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview Turns out being a systems administrator/engineer (whatever you want to call us) is one of the best jobs in America.

Using GNS3, I setup a Cisco 2691 router running IOS version 12.3(26) with the advanced security package. To get hands on experience using SDM, it was installed on the router. So far so good..

It’s interesting to hear him speak of his experience, how he came to teach networking and eventually write a study guide. Much can be learned from his experience. I always find it inspiring to hear from . . . → Read More: Interview with Kevin Wallace SSH is the protocol to use for remotely accessing Cisco network devices without exposing the password.
