I am a CCNA that is currently studying for my CCNP. I have been a network engineer since before people knew what the Internet was and we all thought IPX/SPX was enough to connect the world. I have had the following certifications in my time: CCNA, CCENT, Network+, CCNA (2003), A+ (1996), Proxim Silver and Gold Engineer, MCP (Windows 98), CCA, Novell CNE4, 4.11, 5, Callware CNTE, 3Com IPTE, and a hand full of others. I often come up with my own labs to practice, learn, and just have fun with, and I thought I would start recording them and posting them for others to see and benefit from. Sometimes my labs are strait forward stuff that you need to know for an exam, and sometimes my stuff is some crazy idea that has nothing at all to to with the certification path. I will try to answer as many questions as I can. Sometimes I may use GNS3 and sometimes I will go over to real equipment, because I have a bunch of it and there are some things you cannot do with GNS3
