New to Routing & Switching

[notoriousBG]

Just taking a chance here n00bs, did you guess what the password was on your new router? and have you figured out how to hook up the console cable?

If not, let me know and I will be glad to get you started.  Also, you mentioned something about your dad giving you some kind of book about routing and switching (also known as R&S) what is the title of that book?

Tell me how its going!

I dosen't tell comands in the the Internetworking Technologies Handbook

The static route thing..... what do you press after "ip route <network> <netmask> <next hop>"?

[nooblet]

On the static route should this come up:

Translating "z"...domain server (255.255.255.255)

Translating "z"...domain server (255.255.255.255)

n00bs -
typing "no ip domain-lookup" at the global config prompt on you router will stop that.  Your router is preforming a DNS lookup on the command you typed because it was ambiguous - it didn't match any IOS commands.  In that situation the router attempts to connect to what it thinks might be a host.  Eventually as you can see it will timeout.

By the way n00bs - ls there a chapter in your book on tcp/ip?  Browse through that and let me know if you need help with anything.

Noto my mom is using that book for a hill on her Department 56 village. Get back to me about that in Jan. Feb. or Mar.

[nooblet]

Hey,

did you send that tcp/ip book my dad gave me? 

[notoriousBG]

Wow - nooblet?

You let your mom use a tool like that for a hill on a "dept 56 villiage"? Only a momma could get away with something like that.  No, I sent no other items to you.  But it sounds to me like you need to learn about class A, B, C & D IP Networks and read about subnetting.

I can get you a Cisco whitepaper that goes over binary to decimal conversion to help with subnetting for IPv4.  It goes over stuff like
(2^3 + 2^5)=40 and anything to the power of zero =1 shows octet place holders like 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 where 128 is 2^7 and 64 is 2^6 and 32 is 2^5 and 16 is 2^4 and 8 is 2^3 and 4 is 2^2 and 2 is 2^1 and 1 is 2^0.  If you add up all ones in an octet the total value is 255.  A formula for subnetting is (2^N-2) which shows you useable IP's

I'll skip hex and nibbles and ANDS and ORS for now.  Read the book your dad gotcha and I'll look for the pdf that covers binary & hex.
