Need assistance. IP Camera behind Cisco ASA.
I have installed an IP Camera on the network, which has a Cisco ASA 5505 as the firewall. I want to enable it so I can login off net. I understand that I need to identify the port used for GUI, which I believe is 80, but I can change that port. The manufacture suggests it be changed to 8090, which is no problem. So, from…

OSPF Routed Access Layer Design
Scenario: I'll do my best to explain this clearly... forgive me if it's confusing. Collapsed core design. 2 x distribution layer switches. 25 access layer switches. Routed access layer (access layer switches connect to both distribution layer switches via L3 links) If I simply run OSPF there's going to be a lot of routes…

I've read the entire 642-437 Cisco Press book by Kevin Wallace and am almost finished with the CBT Nuggets series for this exam. Is six weeks enough time to prepare for this test to those who have…

Load Balancing with VRRP
I wanted to do something like GLBP's round-robin load balancing, but I don't think this is possible with VRRP. What load balancing capabilities does VRRP have?

Type 3 LSA's and SPF
I just read a few paragraphs in the OCG that have thrown me. It says that if a type 3 LSA changes, it doesn't cause SPF to re-run, and recalculate the routes. How does that work then? If I have something like this: and I add a network to R100, R100 will update its type 1 LSA to include the new network, then the ABR is…

Help With Lab Please
I am doing the last OSPF CBT Video / Lab. Jeremy has you setup a large multi area ospf topology. I am not far in but ran into a snag. For some reason I cannot figure out why I cannot see loopbacks from R3 in R2's routing table and or any other router that should see them, like R1. This has got to be something simple but…
