Finished applying CCNA commands to the ISP HQ network. The book I used was from the book CCNA Portable Command Guide, 2nd Edition. I didn’t have any RIP, EIGRP, HDLC, FR networks, so I didn’t apply them. All the routers (except the other ISP’s and Peers) are in OSPF area 0. That’ll likely change once …

Finished some network diagrams for this project. This is a very simplified ISP (headquarters) model, but I’ll add things as I read more books. E.g. BGP, MPLS, VoIP, POTS, ATM, Security, etc, etc.
I wrote 2 wiki pages for self-reference. One is an outline of CCNA topics and the other is all the commands I could find in my CCNA study books. These were for the exams when I was studying in 2011 and it’s already outdated. Specifically, the books were for exam 640-802 CCNA. CCNA Topics/Terminology CCNA …
I got myself a Raspberri Pi, model B (512 MB RAM) and installed IPFire on it. I’m using the Pi as a personal firewall and learning tool. I tried turning on IDS, Proxy, Content filters, but the Pi would crash after a day or so. I’m awaiting a stronger USB power supply to see …
Added IP addressing and basic OSPF (just some network commands). All the routers/switches are in Area 0 for now. Verified end-to-end ping connectivity on all routers except the other ISPs and Peers(those shouldn’t run OSPF). Lessons learned: Duplicate IP addressing leads to > OSP warning about a subnet being re-introduced > OSPF Flooding war > …
My original plan was to just learn various computer networking topics in order, but I found a more fun way to learn. It’s much more fun to build various labs that reflect actual scenario’s. For example, building a lab that reflects a small ISP and apply various things that I learn to that one lab. …

Added some more pages to the wiki. Added Network Engineer topics page. I’ll probably keep working on that page and the various topics there. Tried out MediaWiki, but it’s so slow… I can’t seem to enable caching. I’ll come back to it once I can make it fast. The site is under /wiki2. Learning Perl …
Created a new wiki for computer networking related material. It will mostly serve as a reference and point to existing resources on the web. The wiki was created using DokuWiki because I didn’t have free access to a MySQL database. The Wiki is at tamwl.users.sonic.net/wiki.
