00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:08,695
[music]

2
00:00:08,695 --> 00:00:13,034
So for INE, you would create
an account, which is free.

5
00:00:13,034 --> 00:00:15,226
You don't have to provide
anything for that.

7
00:00:15,227 --> 00:00:19,017
So members.ine.com.

8
00:00:19,017 --> 00:00:21,087
Let me log out.

9
00:00:21,088 --> 00:00:24,110
So when you go to members.ine.com,
you'll be required to put in a

11
00:00:24,111 --> 00:00:24,912
username and password.

12
00:00:24,912 --> 00:00:28,724
If you don't already have one, you can just
sign up, and you can see here it doesn't

15
00:00:28,724 --> 00:00:31,091
require any kind of credit
card or anything like that.

17
00:00:31,092 --> 00:00:33,447
Just put in some basic information.

18
00:00:33,447 --> 00:00:42,874
And then once you sign up, you
will have access to this.

20
00:00:42,875 --> 00:00:44,169
So there you go.

21
00:00:44,169 --> 00:00:52,622
And from here, you'll want to click on
the left where it says rack rentals.

24
00:00:52,623 --> 00:00:53,984
Now we've got a whole variety of racks.

25
00:00:53,984 --> 00:01:00,957
You can see, if you scroll down,
CCIE routing and switching v5

28
00:01:00,957 --> 00:01:02,631
full-scale troubleshooting.

29
00:01:02,632 --> 00:01:07,669
I've been primarily concentrating
on the CCNA/CCNP rack.

31
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:12,436
And all these require tokens, and
these are the amount of tokens you

33
00:01:12,437 --> 00:01:16,050
need to spend per hour of rental.

34
00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:21,120
So for example, cost 3 tokens to
rent an hour on the CCNA/CCNP rack,

37
00:01:21,121 --> 00:01:27,288
cost 8 tokens to rent time on the
full-scale troubleshooting CCIE rack.

39
00:01:27,288 --> 00:01:29,550
Where do you get these tokens
and how much are they?

41
00:01:29,551 --> 00:01:34,405
Well, up here you can
click on purchase tokens.

43
00:01:34,405 --> 00:01:42,991
Let me see if I can make
this a bit larger for you.

45
00:01:42,992 --> 00:01:44,158
There you go.

46
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,815
So just so if you do it from here,
you can see a 100 tokens is a $100,

48
00:01:48,816 --> 00:01:51,022
500 tokens is $500.

49
00:01:51,023 --> 00:01:53,408
But a lot of times if you just
navigate around our site,

51
00:01:53,408 --> 00:01:57,110
a lot of times we'll have
promotions on rack rental tokens.

53
00:01:57,110 --> 00:02:03,596
Where you can get like 200 tokens for a
$100 or if you buy a CCNP bundle for

55
00:02:03,597 --> 00:02:06,918
$50 you get 200 tokens along with that.

56
00:02:06,919 --> 00:02:09,311
You might just want to do a little bit
of searching to see if we have any

58
00:02:09,312 --> 00:02:11,378
current deals on the tokens.

59
00:02:11,378 --> 00:02:15,666
So you buy the tokens up front,
and you look and you say, okay.

61
00:02:15,666 --> 00:02:20,086
Let me just reduce this a little bit.

62
00:02:20,087 --> 00:02:23,534
Now I said, I said, don't ever
put any money on anything

64
00:02:23,535 --> 00:02:27,300
until you can see what
the topology looks like.

66
00:02:27,301 --> 00:02:29,956
Let's take a look at the
CCNA, CCNP first of all.

68
00:02:29,957 --> 00:02:32,058
It'll be my bad if we
don't have one in here.

70
00:02:32,058 --> 00:02:36,993
Let's take a look at
a rack rental guide.

72
00:02:36,993 --> 00:02:40,535
Sure enough, right here,
in the rack rental guide,

74
00:02:40,536 --> 00:02:45,061
which is free for anybody to look it,
it shows you some topology diagrams of

76
00:02:45,061 --> 00:02:48,677
what you have available to you.

77
00:02:48,677 --> 00:02:54,111
It talks about what do you need
from a software perspective.

79
00:02:54,112 --> 00:02:55,643
I say well let see, what else?

80
00:02:55,644 --> 00:02:58,294
Maybe I want to try, maybe I'm
willing to do 5 tokens an hour?

83
00:02:58,295 --> 00:03:02,970
What about the CCIE v5?

84
00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:14,234
Do we have a topology
diagram somewhere in here?

86
00:03:14,234 --> 00:03:29,845
We have a listing of how many devices it
has, it talks about how to schedule it,

89
00:03:29,845 --> 00:03:36,759
walks us through the scheduling, canceling
a session, but I did see something.

92
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:44,053
If I go back here - I think it was in
this page - there was a resources button.

95
00:03:44,053 --> 00:03:54,871
If I click on that, hardware
configuration, reference configurations.

98
00:03:54,871 --> 00:04:06,697
I don't see anything in here showing Let
me just keep going all the way to the end.

101
00:04:06,697 --> 00:04:20,626
Canceling a session, loading
your configuration.

103
00:04:20,627 --> 00:04:23,145
Okay, well here.

104
00:04:23,145 --> 00:04:25,412
Now if I was looking at this
though, I'd be wondering,

106
00:04:25,413 --> 00:04:29,906
Okay, is this the actual topology
or is this just an example?

108
00:04:29,906 --> 00:04:33,867
I'm not entirely sure.

109
00:04:33,868 --> 00:04:39,441
Saving your configuration.

110
00:04:39,441 --> 00:04:40,202
Here we go.

111
00:04:40,203 --> 00:04:43,964
All right, we had to go a few
pages into it, but now we see it.

113
00:04:43,965 --> 00:04:46,859
Physical LAN cabling.

114
00:04:46,859 --> 00:04:51,854
Remember, like I said, all this is--
the routers are all virtual connected

116
00:04:51,854 --> 00:04:57,127
to physical switches.

117
00:04:57,128 --> 00:05:11,803
Interface connections all right well
from this I could probably build a

119
00:05:11,804 --> 00:05:18,093
topology diagram.

120
00:05:18,094 --> 00:05:21,388
This is just talking about how
to use the control panel.

122
00:05:21,389 --> 00:05:25,546
Once again, I'm not sure if this is the
actual topology diagram for this particular

125
00:05:25,547 --> 00:05:29,974
rack or not.

126
00:05:29,975 --> 00:05:36,158
Telnet talked about
how to work the menu.

128
00:05:36,159 --> 00:05:52,437
Once again using the control panel,
I'm hearing a busy line, is there--

131
00:05:52,438 --> 00:05:59,646
For me personally, if I was considering
renting time on this rack,

134
00:05:59,647 --> 00:06:04,436
I haven't seen other than that one
physical topology diagram that showed

136
00:06:04,437 --> 00:06:09,000
me how the server hosting the virtual
routers has physically connected

138
00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:15,813
to the switches, I haven't
seen anything else.

140
00:06:15,814 --> 00:06:27,766
This is the closest that it got, but I
know that this thing has more than just--

143
00:06:27,766 --> 00:06:29,099
okay, I can sort of build this.

144
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:37,946
It looks like every single router has a
single Gig interface into a virtual switch.

147
00:06:37,946 --> 00:06:41,727
But I don't see any mention here of any
serial interfaces or anything else,

149
00:06:41,728 --> 00:06:47,132
so I might want to send an email to INE
saying, do you have any other lab topology

152
00:06:47,132 --> 00:06:53,083
diagrams that go with
this particular rack?

154
00:06:53,084 --> 00:06:55,305
So that's an example of
what I was talking about.

156
00:06:55,306 --> 00:06:57,781
Before renting time on a rack, you
want to make sure you're very

158
00:06:57,782 --> 00:07:05,475
clear on what the topology
diagram looks like of that rack.

160
00:07:05,475 --> 00:07:09,477
Let's say you've looked at the CCNA, CCNP,
and you say, okay, this looks good.

163
00:07:09,478 --> 00:07:11,227
I've looked here at
this topology diagram.

165
00:07:11,228 --> 00:07:15,196
I should be able to do
whatever I want with it.

167
00:07:15,196 --> 00:07:16,259
Okay, I've decided to use that.

168
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:20,299
You purchased, I don't know, a
100 tokens to start out with.

170
00:07:20,299 --> 00:07:24,359
Then you click on schedule.

171
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,855
Now at this point I'm not
using any tokens yet.

173
00:07:26,856 --> 00:07:34,655
I'm just getting to the schedule
page, and I can do a search.

175
00:07:34,655 --> 00:07:41,715
First of all, let's see what
calendar view shows me.

177
00:07:41,716 --> 00:07:43,278
This looks pretty
good, I would say.

179
00:07:43,278 --> 00:07:47,843
It looks like it is wide open.

180
00:07:47,844 --> 00:07:51,668
For the next several days,
it's completely available.

182
00:07:51,669 --> 00:07:56,032
I'm not going to have any fears that
if I use this when I want to use it,

184
00:07:56,033 --> 00:07:58,713
it's going to be unavailable.

185
00:07:58,713 --> 00:08:07,202
Let's take a look at one of the other
ones, how about the V5 schedule?

187
00:08:07,203 --> 00:08:12,104
Calendar view.

188
00:08:12,104 --> 00:08:17,969
This is also looking pretty good.

189
00:08:17,970 --> 00:08:20,550
Yeah, so that also looks great.

190
00:08:20,551 --> 00:08:23,431
What about-- let's see here, I know
that our data center racks are

193
00:08:23,432 --> 00:08:25,293
in very high demand.

194
00:08:25,293 --> 00:08:27,454
Let's choose one of those.

195
00:08:27,454 --> 00:08:34,537
Data center, calendar view.

196
00:08:34,538 --> 00:08:37,715
Yeah, so here, okay.

197
00:08:37,716 --> 00:08:43,843
So if I want to get on the CCIE data center
rack, that might be kind of a challenge.

200
00:08:43,843 --> 00:08:46,767
Fully booked, available.

201
00:08:46,768 --> 00:08:50,282
So that was one of the
other things I mentioned.

203
00:08:50,282 --> 00:08:56,364
Make sure you can understand how busy these
racks are before you spend time on them.

206
00:08:56,364 --> 00:09:01,580
So I say, Okay, I'm going
to go with the CCNA.

208
00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:02,839
I've already looked at the schedule.

209
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,573
It's wide open.

210
00:09:06,573 --> 00:09:10,582
And looking at this, it looks
like you've got a choice.

212
00:09:10,583 --> 00:09:17,102
This is kind of cool because I mentioned
the CCNA, CCNP rack was 3 tokens per hour.

215
00:09:17,103 --> 00:09:19,883
But here, you can rent it looks
like a three-hour duration.

218
00:09:19,884 --> 00:09:26,013
If I want to do it right now from 2:30 to
5:30 today, I can get 3 hours for 8 tokens.

221
00:09:26,014 --> 00:09:28,785
So that's going to save me 1 token.

222
00:09:28,786 --> 00:09:34,414
Otherwise, I can just reserve
a session in the future.

224
00:09:34,414 --> 00:09:37,874
Now when you actually get into the rack,
let me show you what's it going to

227
00:09:37,874 --> 00:09:39,696
look like.

228
00:09:39,696 --> 00:09:46,025
Now you have a choice of
getting into these racks.

230
00:09:46,026 --> 00:09:49,462
When you schedule something, it
will tell you what your username

232
00:09:49,463 --> 00:09:52,494
and password is for this.

233
00:09:52,495 --> 00:09:54,955
And I just scrolled
past it really fast.

235
00:09:54,955 --> 00:09:56,662
I hope you guys didn't see mine.

236
00:09:56,663 --> 00:09:58,737
But you'll have a choice.

237
00:09:58,737 --> 00:10:09,757
You can either just telnet directly to
it just let me bring up secureCRT here.

239
00:10:09,757 --> 00:10:17,910
So if you choose to do this you can
just telnet directly to racks.ine.com

241
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:21,582
and then type in that username
and password that you saw.

243
00:10:21,583 --> 00:10:27,439
I'll show you my username.

244
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:38,300
And then when you telnet in--
let's see here, I misspelled it.

247
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:45,550
Here we go, and now you've got access
to the main menu - the console menu.

250
00:10:45,551 --> 00:10:47,695
And so for example, if I want
to go into Switch 1 I just

252
00:10:47,696 --> 00:10:50,946
hit 1 and now I'm in Switch 1.

253
00:10:50,946 --> 00:10:56,621
If I want to go back to that menu
I just type control shift 6 X.

255
00:10:56,622 --> 00:10:59,000
A common escape character for
Cisco routers and switches,

257
00:10:59,001 --> 00:11:03,327
control shift 6 let go hit X
and now I'm back to the menu.

259
00:11:03,327 --> 00:11:07,840
In fact, I can go back and forth between
them this way, or alternatively,

262
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,389
what I could do--
I think this is the best way to get

264
00:11:11,390 --> 00:11:15,224
into them - to get into the command
line - is just by telneting directly,

266
00:11:15,224 --> 00:11:17,263
to racks.INE.com.

267
00:11:17,264 --> 00:11:20,243
But another thing you can do is--
hold on a second,

269
00:11:20,244 --> 00:11:23,751
I don't want you guys to see this.

270
00:11:23,751 --> 00:11:25,670
Doing too much, you'll
see my password.

272
00:11:25,671 --> 00:11:32,042
There will be a little button up
there that says Control Panel.

274
00:11:32,042 --> 00:11:36,261
And when you click on the control panel--
my gosh, it's showing me my password.

277
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:37,837
Let me just scroll down a little bit.

278
00:11:37,837 --> 00:11:38,488
All right.

279
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:53,541
So when you get in there--
come on.

281
00:11:53,542 --> 00:11:58,352
I'm going to try to
do this really fast.

283
00:11:58,353 --> 00:11:59,679
Okay, good.

284
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,330
So when you get into the control panel,
you'll see something that looks like this.

287
00:12:05,330 --> 00:12:07,998
It'll show you a topology diagram.

288
00:12:07,999 --> 00:12:10,071
You can click on these.

289
00:12:10,071 --> 00:12:12,372
It'll open up a little window
so you can access them.

291
00:12:12,373 --> 00:12:16,575
Personally, I like accessing them via
SecureCRT or Putty or something.

293
00:12:16,575 --> 00:12:20,314
The benefit of this is if
you're working from a workbook,

295
00:12:20,315 --> 00:12:25,607
you can select a pre-existing
configuration for a task or if you say

297
00:12:25,607 --> 00:12:32,642
well I'm not going to work from a
workbook I just want to do my own thing.

299
00:12:32,642 --> 00:12:38,722
Well I would just do erase all configs, and
then load that, and just like it sounds,

302
00:12:38,723 --> 00:12:43,608
it will erase the configs, and then everything
will start out with a fresh config.

305
00:12:43,609 --> 00:12:45,390
When you do this, like it
says down here at the bottom,

307
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:51,112
it will take you about six minutes
to go through this process which is

309
00:12:51,113 --> 00:12:55,022
probably about the same amount of time
you would spend anyway if you were to

311
00:12:55,023 --> 00:13:01,436
log into each device individually
and type write erase and reload.

313
00:13:01,436 --> 00:13:10,214
Now somebody asked if there was a way
to selectively power cycle just a

315
00:13:10,214 --> 00:13:12,716
single device.

316
00:13:12,717 --> 00:13:16,218
Via like some remote
power rack or something.

318
00:13:16,219 --> 00:13:19,289
Our lab techs do have
the ability to do that.

320
00:13:19,289 --> 00:13:22,794
But it doesn't look like you
have the ability to do that.

322
00:13:22,795 --> 00:13:24,749
And you're probably asking because
you're probably wondering,

324
00:13:24,749 --> 00:13:28,418
well if I'm in a device, and
all of a sudden I crash it.

326
00:13:28,418 --> 00:13:34,025
Or I've got some sort of debug, which has
frozen the device, and I can't access the

329
00:13:34,026 --> 00:13:34,874
command line anymore.

330
00:13:34,875 --> 00:13:40,249
And the only option is to re-power
the device, you know, reload it.

333
00:13:40,250 --> 00:13:43,751
If that's your situation, if you're
locked out of a router or switch in our

335
00:13:43,751 --> 00:13:46,290
environment right here,
and you can't do it.

337
00:13:46,291 --> 00:13:50,507
You will have to contact
one of our techs.

339
00:13:50,508 --> 00:13:53,204
I can't scroll up, because
it'll show you my password.

341
00:13:53,205 --> 00:13:57,756
But if you scroll up, there's a button you
can click that says emergency ticket.

344
00:13:57,756 --> 00:14:00,529
And you can just type in there,
hey, I'm on Rack number 1.

346
00:14:00,530 --> 00:14:04,956
I need a reload of Router 2 and
these guys are pretty quick.

348
00:14:04,957 --> 00:14:11,040
Usually within like an hour or two at the
most, they will certainly be able to reload

351
00:14:11,041 --> 00:14:12,174
something for you.

352
00:14:12,175 --> 00:14:15,273
So you don't have the ability yourself,
but you can do it from here.

354
00:14:15,274 --> 00:14:20,993
I mean, with them, with their help.

355
00:14:20,994 --> 00:14:34,291
All right, I think that's all I really
have to say about our equipment.

358
00:14:34,291 --> 00:14:36,662
Good question, Mary.

359
00:14:36,663 --> 00:14:39,256
So Mary is asking a question.

360
00:14:39,256 --> 00:14:41,230
Let's see here about a
reload possibility.

362
00:14:41,230 --> 00:14:41,963
Let's see here.

363
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:49,994
Let me get into my stuff.

364
00:14:49,995 --> 00:14:59,275
Let's go into a particular router.

365
00:14:59,276 --> 00:15:05,087
Oh, well, yeah, I see that
the whole idea here is that

367
00:15:05,088 --> 00:15:08,534
if I was locked out of this router,
if this router was perpetually on a

369
00:15:08,535 --> 00:15:17,065
debug output or something, or a
traceback and I couldn't get into it.

372
00:15:17,066 --> 00:15:21,419
So Mary, this command you're talking
about, I'm not sure where you would do it.

375
00:15:21,419 --> 00:15:25,376
If I was locked-- for example, if
Router 1 I was locked out of that,

377
00:15:25,377 --> 00:15:32,808
I can't do it here from the main menu.

378
00:15:32,809 --> 00:15:35,405
There's nothing in here in the
menu for me to reload something.

380
00:15:35,405 --> 00:15:35,642
Let's see.

381
00:15:35,643 --> 00:15:36,925
Let me go and clear lines.

382
00:15:36,926 --> 00:15:38,613
Is there-- no.

383
00:15:38,614 --> 00:15:46,305
I can clear lines and stuff, but there's
nothing for me to reload a device.

386
00:15:46,305 --> 00:15:50,388
So yeah, if you want a power cycle device--
and this is probably a lot of remote

389
00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:52,660
vendors have this.

390
00:15:52,661 --> 00:16:00,812
You have to just contact
the tech to do it for you.

392
00:16:00,812 --> 00:16:03,483
Oh, you can use that command when you
have the possibility of a lockout.

394
00:16:03,484 --> 00:16:04,744
Well, that's true.

395
00:16:04,745 --> 00:16:07,294
If you say, You know what?

397
00:16:07,294 --> 00:16:10,945
I want to try a debug message or something,
and I'm not sure if it's going to

400
00:16:10,945 --> 00:16:11,949
cause me a problem.

401
00:16:11,950 --> 00:16:14,619
Yeah, you could do that.

402
00:16:14,619 --> 00:16:18,753
Type in that command and then
force the thing to reload.

404
00:16:18,754 --> 00:16:24,183
Let's see, are there
any other questions?

406
00:16:24,184 --> 00:16:27,753
Mary asks, how does she
get the CCNP workbook,

408
00:16:27,754 --> 00:16:29,500
and are there diagrams in the workbook?

409
00:16:29,501 --> 00:16:31,989
Yes, there are definitely
diagrams in the workbook.

411
00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:36,883
I believe that there are two ways
to get access to that workbook.

413
00:16:36,884 --> 00:16:46,258
If you purchase the CCNP Bundle--
let me take a look at that.

415
00:16:46,258 --> 00:16:50,815
Just one second here.

416
00:16:50,815 --> 00:16:58,298
If you go to INE.com, and you
go to Course Library Cisco

418
00:16:58,298 --> 00:17:07,349
Training - let me expand this a little bit
- CCNP routing and switching.

420
00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:11,014
So a $199 bundle gets you
access to our practice exams.

422
00:17:11,015 --> 00:17:18,488
It also gets you access to the
workbooks, so that's one way to do it.

425
00:17:18,489 --> 00:17:22,885
I think also-- it doesn't mention it
in here, but if you are an all-access

428
00:17:22,886 --> 00:17:26,388
pass member, I think you
can contact our sales

430
00:17:26,388 --> 00:17:31,335
department and purchase the
workbook as a standalone product.

432
00:17:31,335 --> 00:17:32,599
So I think those are your two options.

433
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,950
Either you get the bundle, which
has the two workbooks included,

435
00:17:36,951 --> 00:17:40,679
or if you're already an access-pass member,
I think our sales department can sell

438
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:47,682
you these workbooks individually.

439
00:17:47,683 --> 00:17:52,324
Someone's asking if the
tokens have an expiration.

441
00:17:52,325 --> 00:17:53,656
That is a good question.

442
00:17:53,657 --> 00:17:55,499
I have never wondered about that.

443
00:17:55,499 --> 00:18:04,555
So. And Mary, yes, the workbooks
are for the newer series,

445
00:18:04,556 --> 00:18:07,593
they were just developed within
the last couple of months.

447
00:18:07,593 --> 00:18:11,429
Elizabeth says no, the tokens don't
expire - she's had some for two years.

450
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:17,280
Good, good to know.

451
00:18:17,281 --> 00:18:21,368
John asks, when you login to the rack,
what exactly are we logging into - he

454
00:18:21,369 --> 00:18:22,631
likes that interface.

455
00:18:22,631 --> 00:18:28,000
That menu I showed you back here,
this is actually a menu on a router,

457
00:18:28,001 --> 00:18:35,096
using IOS command line,
a menu was developed.

459
00:18:35,097 --> 00:18:39,288
I can actually show you what
that looks like just briefly.

461
00:18:39,288 --> 00:18:41,902
I'm not going to spend a great
deal of time with this,

463
00:18:41,903 --> 00:18:51,770
but this is the access server itself.

464
00:18:51,770 --> 00:18:57,495
Somewhere in here-- here we go, here
is just a little snippet of how

467
00:18:57,495 --> 00:18:59,509
that menu was developed in there.

468
00:18:59,510 --> 00:19:06,543
It's the menu command, and all
sorts of stuff so Trevor is

470
00:19:06,544 --> 00:19:15,684
asking if there's a lab exercise that
would enable you to get into ROMmon mode.

473
00:19:15,685 --> 00:19:24,107
Well certainly, in a router, by
changing the configuration revision

475
00:19:24,108 --> 00:19:26,196
or-- configuration revision.

476
00:19:26,197 --> 00:19:29,352
I'm thinking of the wrong thing.

477
00:19:29,353 --> 00:19:36,601
The word is escaping my tongue here.

478
00:19:36,602 --> 00:19:43,208
Let's see here.

479
00:19:43,208 --> 00:19:48,260
What I'm talking about
is the, where is it?

481
00:19:48,261 --> 00:19:50,893
The configuration register,
that's what I was thinking of.

483
00:19:50,894 --> 00:19:55,511
You can tweak the configuration
register to a non-default value so that

485
00:19:55,512 --> 00:19:59,806
when you reload the device it
will come up in ROMmon mode,

487
00:19:59,806 --> 00:20:02,260
so that's one way you can force
it to come up in ROMmon mode.

489
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:05,911
That's pretty much the only way I can
think of, since you don't have access to

492
00:20:05,912 --> 00:20:10,690
reloading these, I should say,
to power cycling them yourself,

495
00:20:10,691 --> 00:20:13,957
that would probably be
the best way to do it.

497
00:20:13,958 --> 00:20:17,647
There might also be a way-- Let's
just try this out here for a second.

500
00:20:17,647 --> 00:20:21,137
Because if I actually had a real
console-- Let's see, connection to this,

503
00:20:21,138 --> 00:20:22,780
and I reload it as it's coming up.

504
00:20:22,780 --> 00:20:29,121
If I hit the break sequence, like
control shift 6X or control escape,

507
00:20:29,121 --> 00:20:31,297
it should go into ROMmon.

508
00:20:31,297 --> 00:20:34,747
Right now I'm going
through an access server.

510
00:20:34,747 --> 00:20:40,819
I'm not sure if it will
carry those commands.

512
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:45,123
I'm just hitting, ah, yeah, control
escape is just doing something

514
00:20:45,124 --> 00:20:50,500
weird on my keyboard, control shift 6,
control shift 6, control shift 6, control C,

519
00:20:50,501 --> 00:20:54,697
control C, control C.

521
00:20:54,697 --> 00:20:57,863
Yeah, I'm not able to break
into ROMmon from here.

523
00:20:57,864 --> 00:21:02,072
So changing the configure register would
probably be the only way to do that.

526
00:21:02,073 --> 00:21:03,978
Is there a way to keep track
of your token balance?

528
00:21:03,978 --> 00:21:04,787
Yeah, certainly.

529
00:21:04,788 --> 00:21:10,099
When you log in to the member's
dashboard, it will say right here.

531
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:15,006
It'll give you your token balance, so it'll
show you that how many you've got left.

534
00:21:15,007 --> 00:21:17,033
And yes, Dean, exactly.

535
00:21:17,034 --> 00:21:21,083
For the CCNA and CCNP racks,
that's 3 tokens per hour.

537
00:21:21,083 --> 00:21:25,073
So when you go into rack rentals,
all these numbers you see here -

539
00:21:25,074 --> 00:21:28,822
5 tokens, 8 tokens - that is per hour.

540
00:21:28,823 --> 00:21:31,557
So basically, the way you can
look at this is, right now,

543
00:21:31,558 --> 00:21:38,217
at full retail price of
100 tokens equals $100,

545
00:21:38,218 --> 00:21:45,278
this particular rack is $3 per
hour if 1 token equals $1.

547
00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:47,321
But like I said, we have a
lot of discounts frequently

549
00:21:47,322 --> 00:21:52,388
where you can purchase two-for-one for
tokens and things, so look around for that.

552
00:21:52,389 --> 00:21:55,676
So someone's mentioned that on one of the
other racks, the CCIE security rack,

555
00:21:55,677 --> 00:21:59,830
there actually is a way to
reload a device remotely.

557
00:21:59,831 --> 00:22:00,575
Okay, that's good to know.

558
00:22:00,575 --> 00:22:02,843
So apparently, the CCNP
rack does not provide that,

560
00:22:02,844 --> 00:22:07,199
but the some of the other racks might.

561
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,637
I don't think SSH is available.

562
00:22:10,638 --> 00:22:15,526
Right now you can only telnet into these
racks, but to confirm that what I would

565
00:22:15,527 --> 00:22:19,428
suggest doing, is I would suggest going to
a particular rack you're interested in--

568
00:22:19,429 --> 00:22:24,780
let's just go back here to the
rack rental guide for CCNA,

570
00:22:24,780 --> 00:22:31,508
and it should say somewhere in here--
yeah, I think just telnet connections

572
00:22:31,508 --> 00:22:34,141
currently is supported.

573
00:22:34,142 --> 00:22:40,118
Mary, you asked, you purchased the IE version
5 workbook a while back but you had to

576
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,206
stop your studies for a while.

577
00:22:42,231 --> 00:22:48,187
You're getting back into it now, should
you just use the IE or get the NP.

580
00:22:48,187 --> 00:22:52,588
If you were pursuing your IE--
let's just pick a random number,

582
00:22:52,589 --> 00:22:56,791
let's say three years ago you
were pursuing your CCIE,

584
00:22:56,792 --> 00:23:00,545
so back at that point in
time you already had an NA,

586
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:05,003
NP equivalent knowledge and you were
starting to learn on your CCIE.

588
00:23:05,004 --> 00:23:08,434
And then it's been three years,
you have to stop for some reason.

590
00:23:08,435 --> 00:23:12,549
And now, you're getting
back into it again.

592
00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:17,020
You can lose a lot in
that amount of time.

594
00:23:17,021 --> 00:23:23,174
From my own personal experience, I
worked with Cisco for 17 years as an

596
00:23:23,175 --> 00:23:25,289
employee there.

597
00:23:25,290 --> 00:23:29,639
I left Cisco and I knew
routing and switching really,

599
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,202
really well before I left Cisco.

600
00:23:32,203 --> 00:23:35,787
I left Cisco and I went to
work for a WiFi company.

602
00:23:35,787 --> 00:23:39,543
I didn't do anything with routing and
switching for a whole year while I just

604
00:23:39,544 --> 00:23:41,559
learned WiFi.

605
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:45,952
And it was amazing after just one
year of being away from Cisco,

607
00:23:45,952 --> 00:23:50,606
how much routing and switching stuff I've
forgotten, even some of the basic stuff.

610
00:23:50,607 --> 00:23:57,918
So if that sort of describes you,
this is what I would recommend.

612
00:23:57,919 --> 00:24:05,230
If you still got access to the IE
workbook, what I'd say is if you are an

615
00:24:05,231 --> 00:24:11,372
all-access pass member, go to the NP
videos, and go through the NP videos and

618
00:24:11,373 --> 00:24:13,539
create your own labs.

619
00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:17,544
You don't necessarily need the NP
workbook, just watch the NP videos,

622
00:24:17,545 --> 00:24:22,101
create labs as you're going through
it to refresh yourself on stuff.

624
00:24:22,102 --> 00:24:25,495
Then once you've gone through the
whole NP video series and you've just

626
00:24:25,496 --> 00:24:29,150
done a bunch of labs that you came up
with off the top of your head for like,

628
00:24:29,151 --> 00:24:33,569
OSPF, and BGP, and Private
VLANs, and stuff like this,

630
00:24:33,570 --> 00:24:38,769
then I think you can go back to your IE
workbook, and resume with where you left off.

633
00:24:38,770 --> 00:24:42,481
That should be sufficient
I would think.

635
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:49,366
In the future, if you have any other
questions about building a lab--

638
00:24:49,366 --> 00:24:52,596
I know a lot of you guys from the
beginning had questions about using

640
00:24:52,597 --> 00:24:58,845
virtual equipment like the VIRL from
Cisco, or using VMware - stuff like that.

643
00:24:58,846 --> 00:25:01,920
Let me show you one other thing that
you have available to you as well to

645
00:25:01,921 --> 00:25:05,300
get questions like that answered.

646
00:25:05,301 --> 00:25:12,627
If you go to our member's dashboard,
you'll see here our INE online community.

649
00:25:12,627 --> 00:25:13,891
Once again, this is all free.

650
00:25:13,892 --> 00:25:16,139
You didn't have to put in any
credit card or anything for this.

652
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:20,215
Go to the INE online
community, and CCIE forums.

654
00:25:20,216 --> 00:25:23,585
Now even if you're not at the CCIE level,
if you're practicing for the CCNA or

657
00:25:23,586 --> 00:25:26,423
the CCNP, you can
still click on this.

659
00:25:26,423 --> 00:25:31,850
You'll see there's a lot of discussion
forums in here, a lot of CCIE related stuff.

662
00:25:31,851 --> 00:25:35,686
If you scroll down, actually there's
even some rack rental stuff,

665
00:25:35,687 --> 00:25:39,091
this would be a good place to type in
your questions about, hey if I purchase

667
00:25:39,092 --> 00:25:41,410
the datacenter rack, can I
reload something myself?

669
00:25:41,411 --> 00:25:43,082
Can I power cycle something?

670
00:25:43,082 --> 00:25:45,757
This would be a good place to
type in those types of questions.

672
00:25:45,758 --> 00:25:47,711
Does your rack support SSH?

673
00:25:47,712 --> 00:25:50,110
You could type it in here.

674
00:25:50,111 --> 00:25:58,571
Also, we have, scrolling down
below, CCNP, and CCNA forums.

677
00:25:58,572 --> 00:25:58,997
These are great.

678
00:25:58,998 --> 00:26:03,911
I've actually seen people put
questions in here about rack stuff,

680
00:26:03,912 --> 00:26:06,907
about hey I'm building a rack, and
I need to know how much memory do

682
00:26:06,908 --> 00:26:10,749
I need for my ESXI
workstation, or whatever?

684
00:26:10,750 --> 00:26:13,796
You will get answers to that.

685
00:26:13,796 --> 00:26:21,641
I would recommend using either a CCNP,
or CCIE forum for that kind of thing,

687
00:26:21,642 --> 00:26:26,714
as far as detailed questions about building
racks and how do I get access to VIRL,

690
00:26:26,715 --> 00:26:29,202
and how do I tweak it,
and stuff like that.

692
00:26:29,203 --> 00:26:33,981
If you put your question here,
in probably less than 24 hours,

694
00:26:33,981 --> 00:26:36,027
somebody will get back
to you with an answer.

696
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:38,260
You'll probably get multiple answers.

697
00:26:38,261 --> 00:26:41,137
This is a great, also
free, resource for you.

699
00:26:41,138 --> 00:26:46,204
All you need is a free INE member's account
to get access to these discussion forums.

702
00:26:46,204 --> 00:26:51,101
