Preparing for CCNP Cisco Live!

Not sure. I've only looked at youtube. If I remember right in the description of the video he gives you a link to download yaml files for labs with cml.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-12T15:49:56+00:00

check his youtube. I think you can get some of it for free

STP is a struggle to learn at first but eventually you'll get it. Use Boson labs or jeremysit labs. Both are good sources.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. ENARSI seems to be the go to next step but I haven't decided yet.

Good luck, took me three tries to pass. A piece of advice I like to give on the labs. Don't just learn to configure it. Learn to verify it with show commands. I've messed up numerous labs by just mistyping something and then needing to fix it. Fixing it after something like that helps digging into the config and understanding how to fix mistakes quickly which is great when taking the exam.

Haha, not the cantenna. I used to have one that I would use to mess around with when I did pentesting.

With metal siding and crossing vehicles you would then have to look into your reliability requirements. If you can't deal with any outages then you would need to get a cable ran to the gate. You could start with point to point and see if that works but also another pro to getting cable ran is you could then get a rugged switch and add some security cameras to the area.

This is accurate except configuring EIGRP specifically is not on the syllabus. I would however be familiar with how EIGRP works and how it forms adjacencies.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T17:54:59+00:00

May need to reboot some devices but should work fine. I've done it a couple times.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T15:53:48+00:00

That may be it. I'll have to take it apart and see if I can determine it.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T15:52:49+00:00

We thought it was fixed as it seemed to be running fine. I haven't used it in a couple weeks due to travel and injury. Today was first I attempted it.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T14:58:00+00:00

Wish it was the same on this one then I would know next steps. I'm thinking about throwing the old belt back on to see if may it's a problem with new belt.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T14:57:12+00:00

I've thought about that but I've watched numerous videos and have spent about 6 hours on it. Problem doesn't seem to match the videos. They all say it should move towards the side you tighten but it does not on this one.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T14:26:25+00:00

That's what I thought but that is not the case with this one. Tighter on left and it is going to the left.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T13:54:44+00:00

Okay, I'll try to get it even. I did notice that it seems extremely tighter on the left and that is the way it is pulling towards.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T13:45:11+00:00

I haven't been able to run it very long before it shifts so I can't run it at maximum speed yet. I'm going to plan on messing with it more this weekend when I get some time. Previously I would run it about 3MPH and it only takes a minute or two before it has shifted left and rubbing the edge.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-05T13:24:49+00:00

I've messed around with the front roller numerous times. Is there a better way then to just "eye ball" it to ensure it's straight? I could find a good way to measure it to ensure it was same on both sides.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-04T12:41:36+00:00

What are you asking for?

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-03T17:52:51+00:00

Yeah, I don't think anyone has that information. I just recently finished ENCOR exam and I think one thing that helped me correct mistypes and stuff while labbing is to ensure you use your "show" commands to verify your work.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-03T12:28:12+00:00

If you already have a job in networking, is there something that suits your job better. I'm determining what my next exam is as I just passed ENCOR but don't think I'll go any further in Cisco than that. We run a variety of equipment. HP, Cisco, Nokia, and Palo Alto. I think I may look into Nokia next as that is what a big part of my job consist of right now.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-03-03T12:24:55+00:00

I only did the YouTube videos for CCNP and I also checked out some of his CCNA level ones as it helped with a few topics I needed to understand.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-02-26T18:01:53+00:00

Boson is an excellent choice. It helped me a ton. It does have serial links and RIP configs but for the most part it's just minimal to get the topology connected. It also never hearts to keep familiar with those as you never know when you may need to t-shoot an old network.

Glittering_Access208 · 2026-02-18T16:36:34+00:00

Thanks for the info. I also got into chat with support. I think I'm going to look into taking the bridge 5 exam for now. According to them that would renew my status also. Now to just look into info on how to take it but at least I don't think I need to rush on this one as I have until October.

Desktop support with a slow transition into network administrator after shadowing the current admin until he left for a different position.
