How to Network Tip of the Week #87 - 21st May 2009

===========================================================

Welcome to the eighty seventh www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

===========================================================

G'day from overcast UK.

I've just got back from Brussels. Probably the worst
driving I've seen outside of Rome.

Well done to Mohamed Fofana who won the latest $1000
CCNA challenge:

We will be running the challenge again in a few months and
probably the same for the CCNP when the content is all
done.

===========================================================

Three New Seminars

You may have received the special announcement e-mail
yesterday. I am basically running three unique seminars
teaching you how to either:

1. Get into IT

2. Get started as an IT freelancer / contractor

3. Start your own IT business and sell it

This is going to be your only chance to benefit from
these seminars. Due to starting up another business in a
few weeks, travel plans and another book I will not be
able to run them again.

If you are reading this weekly tip it stands to reason
that one of the above applies to you. My last contract
netted over $2k per week and my IT company ran on
auto-pilot until I sold it last year.

Forum Question of the Week

Well done to Anthony Ashcraft who has asked a good
question about how to get multiple AS's for EIGRP to
communicate. He gets 10 extra rack hours.

The forum is picking up in traffic now which is really
pleasing to see. The forum is the heart beat of the site so
if you are not coming over to use it you are really
missing out on the best part of being a member.

===========================================================

What Do Blocking STP Ports Forward?

A very simple exam question but can you answer it? If
not then you are not ready for the exam because this is
the typical type of question you will be asked. The
answer is supplied by our dual CCIE Farai on the forum:

Members Forum

The members forum is the place to go for help, support,
advice or just to say hello. In the past few weeks it has
gotten very busy which is a good thing for all of us.

Please come over and post a question or answer or just
say 'hi.'

CCNA Exams

Remember that before you take the exam for real you will
really benefit from taking some more realistic exams. To
this end we have some CCIE approved CCNA exams available
for you.

The exams have a small charge unless you are a platinum
member:

few days to see it all appearing.
