Network device configuration - CCNA Level

Welcome!

ShowIpRoute.eu site contains examples of Cisco network devices configuration - routers and switches. It is mainly CCNA level, but there are some topics which exceed this level (not too many). You may find materials helpful, if you are learning to CCNA certification exam (hand on labs included). You can treat this pages as some kind of notes, additional info and repository of necessary, basic commands of IOS (Internetwork Operating System) as well.

Different version of IOSes use different commands and have varying functionality. It's possible that some commands presented on this site do not fit your router or switch IOS. Be prepared to dig into Cisco documentation, if something goes wrong.

You can use RSS feed to trace changes of this site or subscribe them via e-mail through RssFwd site (update: RssFwd is shutting down :-(. If you know good, free and reliable web site with rss to e-mail functionality please let me know).

How to learn to CCNA exam?

The best way for learning for any IT certification exam is sitting in front of device/system console and configuring every single exam topic requested from Vendor. It's good to make mistakes, because that gives you opportunity to correct them. People who know, how to correct errors and manage problems are most valuable for IT market. That gives IT specialist experience which is most expected. Do not spend all the time only on tests, which are also valuable, but don't give you feel of real administration experience. This site was prepared mainly for people, who learn to CCNA exam in front of routers, switches, cables, PCs and console.

Besides configuration, you have to know theoretical aspects of networking technologies. You should be aware how protocols works, how devices talk each other and know "IT terminology". This knowledge gives you opportunity to understand configuration and makes background for correcting mistakes and problems. You can find here sample question with answers (Exam Q&A on the top bar), which can help you learning for CCNA exam. These questions have been prepared based on Cisco requirements for 640-802 CCNA exam (and 640-801).

It's illegal to public real exam questions, so you will not find it here.

Discussion and ratings

Every page can be discuss. You can use it, if you want to:

  • talk about particular topic from page;
  • report page content mistakes;
  • give some additional info or clue.

Every page can be also rated. It will be good to know, which pages are good and which are poor quality. Frankly speaking I'm mainly interested, which pages are not good and why. That is the signal to correct them. I would be pleased, if you write your critical opinion in discussion either.
