CCNA Certification Exam Tutorial: Five Frame Relay Details You Must Know!

CCNA Certification Exam Tutorial: Five Frame Relay Details You Must Know!
by: Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
When you’re studying for your CCNA exam on the way to earning this coveted Cisco certification, the details can seem overwhelming! In this article, I’ll point out five Frame Relay details that you must keep in mind when you’re on your way to the CCNA exam!
Inverse ARP starts working as soon as you open the serial interface. This protocol performs dynamic Frame Relay mapping, but you don’t have to enable it - it’s already enabled as soon as you enter the command “encapsulation frame-relay”.
When you’re configuring Frame Relay map statements manually, remember that you’re mapping the local DLCI to the remote IP address.
When you run “show frame map”, the word “dynamic” indicates mappings created by Inverse ARP, and “static” indicates it was manually created.
To spot possible LMI type mismatches, run “show frame lmi”. A large number of Status Timeouts indicates that there may be an LMI problem between your router and the frame relay switch.
Through The Looking Glass
December 30, 2007
My mother used to take me along when she visited an old lady down a cobbled lane who had a crystal ball on her dining room table and a pack of playing cards. My mother was superstitious and really believed a lot of what she was told by the old lady. She wanted to know what the future held not only for herself but for me, her only little boy. I was about five or six years old at the time, and used to gaze at the reflected images upon the crystal ball of the sunlit window behind me and the lace curtains, although the old lady would place her hands at either side of the crystal ball and say that she could see the future and told of what she saw, I could only see the reflection of that window with the lace curtains. The old lady was either a genuine medium or was just guessing what my mother wanted to hear to keep her coming back for more of the same, and make herself a small income to supplement her pension.
Does Your Business Really Need A Website?
December 29, 2007
Website, website, website, everyone says you need one. But do you really? It all depends. It depends on your market, business objectives, and even your comfort level and if you are willing to step outside of it.
If your customers live and work within a few miles of your brick and mortar business or home based business, you might not need one.
If you don’t have any plans to grow your business, you might not need one.
If you’re in denial and choose not to see that change is going to occur with or without you, then you might not need one.
If your community is small enough that you know everyone by their first name or can pass through the town in 30 seconds and you have enough business, then you might not need a website.
If you’re comfortable where you are and don’t want to change anything, maybe you might not need one.
Fact: Change is inevitable. It is the only certainty, besides death, we all know is going to occur.
Internet Marketing: 5 Innovative Internet Marketing Strategies To Generate Tons Of Orders
December 28, 2007
There are two different groups of online marketers.
First group: those who are making lots of sales and piles of cash daily.
Then the second group: those who are making nothing because they are not getting any traffics to their websites.
To which group do you belong?
If your website is not generating any sales, stop being sad.
Here are 10 innovative internet marketing secrets to advertise it, and start generating massive sales!
1. Directory Linking
Create a directory of websites on a specific topic. Give people the option of adding the directory to their website by linking to it. Put your business advertisement at the top of the director’s home page. This technique will get lots of people to link to your website and give you free advertising.
2. Bonus Advertising
Do you have a product or service that doesn’t sell good? Offer it as a free bonus for someone else’s product or service. Get free advertising by placing your website or business ad on the product or in the product package.
3. Autoresponder Trade
Cisco CCNA Exam Tutorial: Route Summarization

Cisco CCNA Exam Tutorial: Route Summarization
by: Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
Preparing to pass the CCNA exam and earn this important Cisco certification? Route summarization is just one of the many skills you’ll have to master in order to earn your CCNA. Whether it’s RIP version 2, OSPF, or EIGRP, the CCNA exam will demand that you can flawlessly configure route summarization.
Route summarization isn’t just important for the CCNA exam. It’s a valuable skill to have in the real world as well. Correctly summarizing routes can lead to smaller routing tables that are still able to route packets accurately - what I like to call “concise and complete” routing tables.
The first skill you’ve got to have in order to work with route summarization is binary math; more specifically, you must be able to take multiple routes and come up with both a summary route and mask to advertise to downstream routers. Given the networks 100.16.0.0 /16, 100.17.0.0 /16, 100.18.0.0 /16, and 100.19.0.0 /16, could you quickly come up with both the summary address and mask? All you need to do is break the four network numbers down into binary strings. We know the last two octets will all convert to the binary string 00000000, so in this article we’ll only illustrate how to convert the first and second octet from decimal to binary.
Time to Tell A Friend
December 26, 2007
The internet has the capacity, sometimes, to divorce not just our minds from our bodies and siphon us into cyberspace but also our common sense.
When it comes to business models the internet seems to have managed to make us forget everything we knew in the Real World (RL for the acronym lovers) and slow down the length of time it takes us to re-learn it.
How else can we explain the fact that the number one selling tool in the universe is so underused on the internet that hardly anyone remembers to implement it. All right, I’ve played games long enough, time to get real and tackle exactly what I’m talking about.
In the real world before you change your mobile phone, splash out for that flat-screen plasma TV or set out to test-drive the latest muscle-car at your local dealer you first discuss it with your friends. That’s because you’re the product of an evolutionary process that has conditioned us, as a species, to pool our resources in order to reach a decision that is far more informed than anything we could have managed on our own.

The Web: Your Window of Opportunity
December 25, 2007
Thinking about starting up a business? The web is the way to go. Look around! More and more, people are relying on the internet as an information resource, a way to foster personal relationships, and method of purchasing goods and services.
What would you think if you received a business inquiry from an unfamiliar company, and you looked them up on the internet to find they had no website? They’d seem a little behind the times, wouldn’t they? They might even come across as slightly unprofessional. It would take away from their credibility, to see that they had no presence on the world wide web.
Likewise: if you own your own business or are thinking of starting one, the first place you should put your name is the internet. Why? It’s the cheapest method of advertising that gets you the most exposure… and it’s a way to present your offer to the world without ever leaving the house.
The web is reputation that builds on itself. It’s a potential buyer sitting at home, typing your specialty into a Google search, and seeing your company pop up. It’s your own website URL getting forwarded on via email. It’s someone in a chat forum passing your good name along because you gave them a bit of thoughtful advice.

How to find and use file-hosting
by: Alex Smith
What’s the difference?
While surfing the net in order to find free space for home video or favorite songs, users often confuse two things - web hosting and file hosting. So, what’s the difference? First of all, web hosting allows you to place your site on the web. And file hosting gives you free space, where you may store whatever you want - from files to songs. So, now you can save your time looking for file hosting instead of web hosting.
Keywords
First of all you must define why you need file hosting? Basically, there are 4 common types of files - video, images, music and data. If you are looking for any special file hosting server, you should use the keywords “file upload” and add the type of file. For example “file video upload”. Another good way is to type in SE “file hosting”. The best SE in my humble opinion are Google and Yahoo! So, start your search and I’ll tell you how to deal with file-hosting services.
