The CCNA thingy
This may be a bit out of the line for a blogspot entry but what the heck. I thought I would put down a bit of the summary of a course on networking. It was a 14 day course and kind of interesting because it opened my eyes a lil. We generally use internet so often that we tend to take it for granted but there is another world lurking below the software jargon. The world of switches and routers that kind of is boring but in some ways is terribly easy to know. The course concentrated on use and configuration of Routers(of course CISCO ones). What we learnt is this: 1. Routers are "intelligent" switches operating on an OS called IOS. 2. Routers connect one network to another. 3.You can use routers to monitor traffic between networks and also do a bit of jiggery-pookery to configure them. 4. Basically you can tell them 'connect this network to that'..poor guys will do that.But even more in teresting is that you can tell them..'dont allow this ,dont allow that ...
