back from malaysia

I am back from Malaysian trip. Now I need to again concentrate on my second hurdle. 

It would require me to concentrate on the logics and not on configuration part. 

I need to restart again everything. Since I know the basics, i need to practice with some major deployments.

Passed CCNA : 987 Score

First Hurdle cleared!


I know there is nothing to boast about but if you are trying to avoid dumps then its really a challenge.


The first challenge is finished. Now CCNP the second challenge. Understanding the networks in itself is a challenge and if you know what perfect dream is....then you will never sleep.

had to reschedule the exam

It was all closed...so I had to postpone the exam to sat i.e. tomorrow 13th....My Malaysian Trip is scheduled next week and next month again to KSA.


Need to push myself hard some more nights...reading  ccna book all over again.

Good vlan concept question from CCNA track

this is really a good question.
what is traffic path for a ping packet from PC1(vlan10) to Sever0(vlan 20)?

The answer was instant but wanted to try
here is the answer
PC1-->R1-->R2--->Server0

this really made my concepts true for access mode and trunk mode. we grow more in ccnp track.

trick to keep CPU utilization low and gns not crashing

Trick to keep CPU utilization low in GNS3

don't let your routers go back to idle state

1> get an idle PC value

2> to make sure..it does not use CPU utilization suddenly in middle of configuration.

>en
# conf t
# line console 0
# no exec-timeout

This will resolve the sudden spike of the CPU. Use already extracted IOS to boot it in GNS3.

Also please do not use 2600 series router images in GNS3, my GNS3 crashed frequent. Tried to google but not much help.
