am very much interested.

answerme:
This is great! I have been looking for a forum like this
am currently studying for my ccna certification. I am very interested and willing to share knowledge and learn . Please when do you begin?

opymx:
Only God knows since when I've been searching for a cisco group on Nairaland. I would love to make contributions. My mail id is opymx1@gmail.com

ITbomb:
How long will each video session last and what is the frequency (how many times in a week)

ITbomb:
I'm interested but currently having very limited video access

newacca:
From your wealth of experience which of these cities would you prefer to study in?
1. Milano
2. Siena

@Talitakumi is right! If your sole purpose of coming to Italy is to ''hustle'', I would say Italy is not the right destination. You can as well try Denmark and Germany as he rightly pointed out. On other hand, if you are really interested in studying, Italy may be a good spot compared to the aforementioned countries. Though Italy is not the best destination to study, its quality of education is way better than what is obtainable in Nigeria (in terms of Science and Technology), and there are benefits that come with studying here. Italian Universities (public funded) has got scholarship scheme to help students from low income families (for both Italian and international students). This scholarship (called Borsa di Studio in Italian) covers Tuition fee, Free meal,accommodation and Little stipend every academic year. Please note: scholarship is awarded based on financial need not ACADEMIC merit. 90% of students from Africa and Asia are awarded this scholarship every year. You can't find this opportunity in any European country... even in the likes of Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, etc
You can move to any other country upon completing your studies if you don't want to go back home.
If Nigerian students are still going to the likes of Ukraine,Cyprus, etc to study, I see no reason why you shouldn't grab this VERY rare opportunity to study in Italy.

@Newacca Milano is a big city while is Siena small (about 50,000 inhabitant). I guess i answered your question. BTW, I live in Sinea,

planter:
I have a ccna certification. This study group will sharpen my skills in networking. I'm interested

Mellorix:
What other exams are you preparing for ?

@danindia, check the attachment n download it.u can help me with the config.tanks

Please i was configuring frame-relay multipoint design using packet tracer.using 3 routers (ie a head office and 2 branch offices) connected tru the cloud. I have attached a copy of my packet tracer. All the passwords are 'cisco' for both switches and routers and am running EIGRP routing protocol.The challenge i have is that i cannot ping the branch office routers even when the network is up and running.Also, how do i turn off split horizon(maybe its one of the problem y i cant ping the locations). please also let me know what i need to know about my simple diagram;errors and recommendations. am just done with my ccna about to start ccnp.

Have gotten the basic knwledge abt networking bfre,I did it some time ago buh didn't get tru wt it!so when next month are we starting?

Mellorix:
@DanIndia Do you really have cisco experience? or you are learning for your CCNA cert.

im asking this because ; u are acting like a teacher here. lol rather than a student. - I am sure this group u guys set up is supposed to be a study group but hmmmm -

Tnks

henryskywalker2003:
Ok. If u say so.

henryskywalker2003:
@DanIndia, WOW. For real I never ridiculed him in anyway nor talked down to him. He posted that and said it was an Enterprise network project (not lab) that he worked on last year. He concluded that with saying that questions are welcome. I then made an observation which any network admin would see at first sight about the design of the network. If you notice, I didn't comment on the second topology yet because he said it was an experiment and I felt I should address the project first since it is of higher priority than the experiment. No one would like to deploy a network today only to be called back in few months time due to performance issues. And that network, if it was really a large scale network is just an issue away from a catastrophic disater. My aim was to point out the flaws there so that he can correct them and learn from it in future deployments. True, people can connect their devices how they want, but that doesn't mean they will all be the same performance-wise. Just like you could create a patch cable with any combination you like but don't expect your cable to achieve the same 100 meters expected of a cable that followed the standard. The same applies to network design. A network poorly desgined from the beginning will only lead to future problems that you aren't supposed to have.

On your last but one comment, you made a very wrong statement and I quote "The left side devices are switches not routers and we both know switches are dummy devices, they are not as smart as L3 devices and hence VLANS and Switchport securities can take care of any form of threats posed to that part of the topology.". I can't believe you just said that bro. Wow, where do I even begin to talk about this one? I hope you know that there is a huge difference between a hub, bridge and a switch? I hope you know that there are multilayer and L3 switches? Capable of almost everything a router can do? Wow. I think we need to really do a hangout very soon. Honestly, if you are studying for CCNA you need to really brush up your knowledge on Switches and Switching cos they are quite more than you think they are. The entire network depends on the switches and if your switch design is bad, your network is bad. The router does very little in a network compared to switches. Anyways, I remember you suggesting watching videos on youtube for CCNA, I highly recommend Jeremy's series from CBTNuggets. It will blow your mind.

P.S. Note that I am not talking down or ridiculing you or anything. I would really hate to see a friend pay hard earned money to write an exam only to fail it because of the wrong ideas or knowledge. I have failed an interview for a job at a big firm because of poor network design and since then, I have always strived to be better than I was then, certification or no certification.

@DanIndia, you are talking about labs, I'm talking about live topologies. You can go as crazy as you want in a lab topology, but when you try that in live topologies, that's when you run into issues. I myself have also seen live equipment with more redundancy than usual, but these are very large enterprise networks. I'm talking about ISPs here and really large organisations. As for the routers connected by 5-6 links, I can bet you that the network supports thousands of devices at the Access layer. Besides, you didn't even say anything about the network lacking a logical, hierachical structure. That alone shows a very poor design. Imagine trying to troubleshoot such a network or when you need to scale out the network. Where do you even start to add new switches when you want to scale out? As for a network where everything is connected to each other, that is one hell of a terrible network, you can quote me on that anytime, anyday. Everything is not supposed to be connected to everything. Instead, every device on a layer must be directly connected to every device on the layer above and below it. Hence, every access layer device gets connected to every distribution layer device but not the core or edge. The distribution layer gets connected to both the core and access but not the edge and so on. If you connect everything to everything how do you configure your security permissions and restrictions, QOS, etc. I actually studied CCDA as well as CCNA so, not just saying this for the sake of saying it.
