Hi,
I'm an IT professional just about to start studying for the 640-802, I have little experience of Cisco equipment but I understand networking principles to a reasonable degree. I've bought a lab from a friend comprising 3 routers (2501, 2504 & 2611 'show version' information at end of message) plus a 10 Meg switch, so far I've just powered everything up to verify it all works.
Can anyone give me any advice on how best to familiarise myself with the CLI & maybe do a little config work such as renaming the routers & changing the passwords? As far as I can see there won't be any 640-802 books published in the UK until September so I have around 2 months to play before I start to study in earnest. Any web site recommendations or other resources would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Jason.
