I took the 640-822  ICND1, CCENT exam yesterday (on my birthday, woot!) and passed, with authority! I have been sailing around on cloud 9 since then.

Now onto the ICND2 exam/CCNA certification!

Here is my plan for the last day of study:

a. hit the key topics in all the chapters

b. cover all the IOS commands at the end of each chapter

c. cover the terms in the back of the book

d. practice subnetting (see cbt nuggets printout)

Here are the topics I need to cover in the ciscopress book before Monday:

Chapter 11 Wireless LANs

Chapter 15: Troubleshooting IP Routing

Chapter 16: WAN Concepts

Chapter 17: WAN Configuration

Chapter 18: Exam Preparation

update: completed all chapters by last night exam except the Exam Prep, which is reserved for today.

For some reason the following commands will not stick in my head, most likely because I have not used them much.

Port Security (sticky mac, security protect):

Switch(config)#int fa0/1

Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access

Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address sticky

Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security violation protect

Allow SSH Connections (telnet bad!):

Switch(config)#username philip password K33pItS@fe

Switch(config)# ip domain-name philipstraatsma.local

Switch(config)#crypto key generate rsa

Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your
General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take
a few minutes.

How many bits in the modulus [512]:1024

% Generating 1024 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable…[OK]

Switch(config)#line vty 0 4

Switch(config-line)#login local

Switch(config-line)#transport input ssh

Default gateway:

Switch(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1
