My advice is as follows:
Greg
I am planning on learning Cisco myself (first) so I can ask more intelligent questions during real training...
My question is:
----------------
What are Top 10 Command should I focus on and / or Tasks?
I want to know things such as - what command allows me to open port XX on interface XX, etc - REAL world tasks without the 1000 pages background info.
Thank you.
Not to sound sarcastic but I would get very famaliar with the basics first, the ones you will use all of the time. And learn their shorter keystroke version. Config t (configure terminal) int (interface) en (enable) FA (fast ethernet) s0 (serial0) eth0 (ethernet0) lo (loopback) noshut (no shutdown) copy run start (copy running config startup config) and also learn to use the up and down arrows. These will also save you time when configuring a router.
You will use these commands 99% of the time you will configure a router, depending on the types of interfaces the router has
Hope this helps.
S.c.
great start thx...
I have this Netsim 5.x from Boson and have no clue where to begin...time to READ. Any input on some good starting material? Thanks.
LOL...that's one great site Greg! If the Cisco reading materials were like that, I would learn alot faster! That's hilarious site!
