HowTo Use Cisco DocCD/Documentation ?

Hello you,

Long time no write on my blog, sorry for all you who follow it regulary. It was time for vacations and beginning of my CCIE written test preparation. Today, I found a nice tutorial from InternetworkExpert Team, explaining the way to use Cisco documentation and also bring a ccie lab focus.

Here it is !

Enjoy and see you soon

BGP regular expressions

Hello,

Here is an article to remain or learn each metacharacter feature in ip as-path command.

MPLS Lab

Hello,

I’m currently doing Knowledge Net MPLS labs.
I set up my lab on Dynamips and for the moment it runs very well…
You can download the dynagen .net file here.

How to configure SDM with Dynamips

Hello gears,

I installed SDM engine today in order to prepare myself for ISCW test.

I searched the web about howto’s but I never found what I needed. Hope that tutorial can help someone else.

Steps :

• Configure an ip address on a router interface and enable it. This interface must be fast/ethernet type.
  • Ex :
  • Router#conf t
  • Router(config)#ip http secure-server (Some keys should be generated…)
  • Router(config)#interface fastethernet0/0
  • Router(config-int)#ip address 172.16.0.2
  • Router(config-int)#duplex full
  • Router(config-int)#no shut
• Install a loopback adaptater on your pc : You can follow the following article for this Link.
• Run the “Network device list” batch from Dynamips folder and gather the hardware reference for your network adaptater.
• Edit you .net file and add the following statement
  • F0/0 = NIO_gen_eth:DeviceNPF_{ ** your nic reference **}
• Modify the new Windows network connection and assign it a static ip address such as 172.16.0.1/24.
• Run your .net file and try to ping from both sides : Router->PC and PC->Router
• Install SDM engine on your PC. I’m currently using the version 2.4.1. You may need to allow activex, you can trust them.
• Use the ip address you defined on the router and enter it into SDM. 172.16.0.2 in our case.
• You will be prompted for a username and a password. You have to define it into router configuration. Below is an example.
  • Router(config)#usernmame sdm priv 15 password sdmlab

Cheers and Enjoy !
