What is it all about? Well, let me tell you. It’s about politics. Of course you knew I’d say that, being a political blogger, it isn’t that big of a stretch really. I know what you’re thinking. “Oh, I don’t really like politics, I don’t like talking about it, not really. Politics are boring.” Oh ...]

“encaps failed on broadcast for link 38″ =’s No IP Routing I come to find out.
IP Routing was shut off on R1 which killed me lol. I couldn’t find anything on this error when setting up the frame-relay connection between R1 and R2 Friday night. The worst part is I thought it was a hardware ...]
Bridging the gap between 3550 and 3560 QoS: Part I
Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:38:50 +0000
The 3560 QoS processing model is tightly coupled with it’s hardware architecture borrowed from the 3750 series switches. The most notable feature is the internal switch ring, which is used for the switch stacking purpose. Packets entering a 3560/3750 switch are queued and serviced twice: first on the ingress, before they are put on the ...]
countdown to next monday!
I forgot to announce the countdown to my next attempts :)
As of now, it should be countdown from 6 to 1. Next Monday is my big day on the next attempt.
Nervous? Can't feel it ;)
I am making the statement now: I can claim that I am an 'expert' for CCIE candidancy. However, at times, I still
find some questions quite confusing. Most of the time, all of those questions turned out to be "ahhh ... just like
that", or in the more happening: "oh, so that is the meaning of that question".
Only two tasks left and those two tasks could only be carried out during exam. The first one is on how to ask
'proper' question to the proctor in order to clarify those 'confusing' questions. The second tasks is: the DocCD.
All this while, whenver I have some spare time at work, either I remote to home or I opened up the DocCD. The
second one is more likely to happen ;) I wish I could have Internet access from my client's toilet, hahaha ... but it
is not critical nor important to my client.
So far, I don't feel any 'improvements' in the DocCD skills as I have always used it for my daily tasks and
references. Before the preparation of this CCIE exam, I used DocCD for references only. During the preparation of
this exam, the DocCD has been turned just like my daily 'newspaper' that have no date and the contents never changed,
yet I like reading it just like the novel or any relaxing literature.
Am I start to sound like nuts? I always am! And I am proud to be called 'nuts' as all of my nutty ideas that
brought me up to this level (and many more exciting ideas to happen in my entire life!)
One of the nutty idea is being a (multiple) CCIE. So, this is considered a crazy ideas, either me or my close peer
that knows me :) You will know it later as I keep updating this blogs in the future and I will surely inform you all
on what happens after I have crossed the path on my first CCIE track.
If anyone of you asked, "what do you plan after you pass this CCIE?", my answer would be:
- If you are prospective employer: here I am, ready for your disposal (with appropriate reward of course)
- If you are my technology peer (in CCIE): I will get ready for CCIE storage ;)
- If you are my business partner: here I am, know having this credentials and how may I help you?
- If you are my students and you are wondering which path would secure you in the job market: follow my steps:
go straight away as CCIE. Do not waste your time in CCNA or CCNP exam. However, there is no harm in attending
the exam preparation, but no need to do the exam ;)
- If you are my students and does not like networking: study hard ye lazy scum!
- If you are my students that study areas that I teached outside networking: take this opportunity while I can (and
willing) to share my knowledge. Squeeze my brain to 0 for your future! Challenge me for any mistakes that I did
(purposely or coincidentally). I am still human, but I will asure you: I am teaching you some lesson here :)
- If you are my peers at SV: get ready to have me in your area and life soon! I will surely bring something
different that not many people would expect me to do it.
Which one are you from the above options? I will give you the chance to enjoy the benefits of having me in your
team. I am not talking big here, but when I decided to take that path and anjoy it, nothing will be able to stop me
:) If you feel you could afford me, then buzz me up or drop me a line, I will find the best way to give you the
solutions. Either I am the solution, I am part of the solution or I know someone that have that solution.
Till then ....
Example Configurations for PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)Sun, 20 Jan 2008 22:20:10 +0000
Below are a couple example configurations for PPPoE. Note that you can run into MTU issues when trying to use OSPF over PPPoE. This can easily be resolved by using the “ip ospf mtu-ignore” command as the dialer interface’s MTU is 1492 while the virtual-template’s (virtual-access) MTU is 1500.

Line Device CSS contatenationWed, 19 Jul 2006 05:28:37 +0000
In CCM 4.1, Callmanager concatenates the CSS of the device and lines and places the CSS of the lines in front of the CSS of the device.
As per SRND, For CTI ports and CTI Route points, it does the other way. ie, CSS of the device comes first followed by the CSS of the lines. ...]
Status Update: 31 December - 06 JanuaryWed, 09 Jan 2008 05:05:14 +0000
I managed to get quite a bit of labbing done this week. The vast majority of it being Volume I RIP,
old habitToday I recalled my old habit in configuring the routers. And today as well, I am using that habit for my home lab
access.
What old habit did I have? Configuring the router using notepad and pasted it to the router. Is it a 'bad' habit
or a 'good' habit? I have no idea!
During my work at various clients (particularly in Australia), I must carry out the router configuraion that way.
Whay is that so? To save time! When a customer request a replacement or a new site setup, most of the time the router
is not yet arrived in the office. Thus, to save time, I configure the router based on my best knowledge on the IOS,
chasis, modules, etc. Then I drafted out the basic configuration for connectivity then build the config from that
point on using all 'imagination' in my head on whether this command would do good once pasted or it will wreck havoc
in the production later. To make things worst, 'usually', the router (or even switch) only transits my office area
for around 4 hours. Thus within that 4 hour, I must be able to configured it in the 'full config' and ship it to the
customer in the same day. I would be lucky to have the router arrived at 5pm, but that means I must ship it before
10am the next working day. That means only 2 hours instead of 4 hour 'transit'.
During that period, there was no such thing called dynamips or in-kind. I must really knock on my head in order to
realized whether the config would work or not (not should!).
As of today, I have a poor Internet connection to home's (dynamips) lab. So, to save time I drafted out the
config, verify it that it would (and should!) work and once I arrived home: pasted it and compared it against the
correct answer. I have a quick glimpse on some answers that I have no idea what it asked. More than 90% of the
question is quite clear for me. Only minor (or silly???) misunderstanding in those 10% that might dragged me down
during my next lab attempt.
In the last two days, I have used extensive full-blown dynagen management. It is a very nice tool and could have
been tweaked for more dynamips options. All-in-all, I already have some idea to develop my own dynamips management
console (I will tell you all later once I got my CCIE number, ok? ;) )
It turned out that my answer so far is able to reach fair amount of correctness (I have not really drill the
details, maybe tonight). I am surprised with the result (and happy of course!)
Now the rest remains in the day of the lab next Monday. I will do my best to pass this one this time and earn the
number that I deserve (and have been desperately waiting on).
So what is your verdict on this composition on ccvp? Are there anymore unanswered questions about ccvp in your mind? #
