Cisco 3810 router - "no flash SIMM found"?
I had this 3810 voice router in a box and I decided to sell it, since I haven't used it in a while (several years). It boots up to a prompt, but it also boots to a router(boot)# command line. A show ver tells me it is booting to 0x2102 as it should. During the bootup, I get a line that says no flash SIMM found, Flash file…

Cisco Press CCNP Voice books from 2011, update any time soon?

My question is, I'm probably a year'ish out from studying the CCNP Voice, and wondering if these books are…

CCNP Route OCG
Hi all, Just started reading the CCNP Route OCG, and I must say that this is one of the most boring Cisco books I have ever read. Reading every page just makes me die a little inside.

I could get 2x 2960-ttl for a good price but I know they can't go layer 3 which turns me off to them but QOS…
