I'm up for my 70-410 R2 and 70-411 R2 this summer (as well as my CCNA R&S). I'll be done the classes for 70-687 and 70-688 in a couple weeks but I can't afford to take the exams yet, nor am I quite sure I want to. Is there much demand for MSCA-Win8.1 in the kind of system administration environment that's looking for a CCNP/RHCSA/MSCA-Server2012? Or is it just a waste of time and money?

I passed 200-120 last Thursday and got the "congratulations, make sure your address and name are right" email the next day. How long does it usually take for the certificate to arrive? The email says 8 weeks but I can't imagine it actually taking that long to ship from wherever Cisco is to Vancouver...

VLSM is something that eventually just clicks for people. Often visibly. As in, you can see it on their face when they finally get subnetting.

I just realized my right hand is more like space j i o ; now. I don't know when that happened but it must have been completely subconscious. Traditional typing just feels wrong in comparison.

There's literally a page and a half on Easy Virtual Networking at the end of the ROUTE Foundation Learning Guide. It basically says "this is a thing that exists and you should pimp it to employers so we get more money and you get to flex your Cisco creds".

Marshall Louis posted:I have avoided this book because of the comments and ratings on Amazon...what has your experience been? It's okay. It's wordy and heavy as gently caress, which is appropriate for a textbook. I also have the FLGs for CCNA R&S and they did a pretty good job of preparing me for the CCNAX. I haven't done SWITCH yet but I know people who have used the book for it and did well.

Has anyone here done the Certified Wireless Network Adminstrator certification? I have the textbook for it from a wireless class and don't know whether it's worth studying further for the cert.

psydude posted:Yeah. It's worth getting if you're doing a lot of wireless work, but I'd also recommend getting the vendor certs like the CCNA, too. Good to know, thanks. I'll add it to the long list of certifications I want to get but can't because there's a gaping hole in my wallet.

I grabbed the ROUTE Foundation Learning Guide and looked for the section on PPPoE to see if it's much of anything. There's a page and a half. That's it. It says to buy a different book for more on PPP and PPPoE.

MF_James posted:I have never done telnet localhost 123123, does that basically test that something is listening on that port on the server? That's what it seems like. Telnet is more or less just a plain text TCP connection. There's a few control sequences but since it's that simple you can eg. telnet to a web server and send HTTP commands and get a response. It's a fairly common way to test if an SMTP server is up; send "EHLO\n" and if you get something back, you're in business.

Yeah, I never had any IPv6 configuration questions on my CCNAX. There might be on the upcoming revision though, if they're pushing for "future everything".

Judge Schnoopy posted:Layer 0 is also pretty good, in that if you don't have the poo poo you need for your solution you are properly hosed. Layer 0 issues stem from cheap budgets and miscommunicated requirements. I've always interpreted layer 0 as being "the laws of physics". A layer 0 problem is impossible to solve because you cannot change the speed of electrons in copper or the speed of light in glass.

One day we'll be able to capture micro-wormholes and just shove some Cat15e or whatever we're on by then through them for zero-latency 100 Tbps links across the solar system. Y'know, assuming this pitiful species survives the next three and a half years.

Also presently 2019 has no GUI whatsofuckingever. You manage it from Project Honolulu, which is surprisingly not actually terrible. More navigable than Server Manager at least.

I just downloaded a vNext ISO and installed it, and it's Server Core with none of the graphical shell packages in the install.wim. My options on install were Standard and Datacenter. No options for either for Server with a GUI or explicitly for Server Core.

Hrm. My three years on my CCNA R&S is almost up. Thinking maybe recerting with CCNP TSHOOT since my employer will pay for it and in the three years since I've done the CCNA R&S they've added Metro Ethernet and some other odd ducks to it. Good/bad idea?

The Nutanix NCSE-L1 is terrible. All sorts of questions about sizing based on Oracle and Splunk and various VDI vendor features, and a bunch of ethically dubious ones that made my skin crawl about convincing customers not to do POCs and just close the deal. The remote proctoring system that they outsourced the heavy lifting to is abysmal. It took 25 minutes sitting on a "this may take up to 2 minutes" screen to get a proctor to show up and verify my ID, and all the while the live support chat in the locked down exam browser was like "just phone nutanix". Yeah, because I'm going to pick up my phone in a secure testing environment. That's how this works.

Only ones I know are important day to day stuff. Most software that cares about port numbers for analysis etc. accepts the name of the protocol instead like "https" or "dns" or "finger" so for day to day work sometimes you don't even need that. For everything else there's google.
