Re: Cisco IOS
What model router do you have? Note that some of the capabilities will probably be limited by the version of IOS you're running, and new versions may well require purchasing a support contract. Might also be worth purchasing a Cisco compatible serial cable if you're going to be messing around with configuration files.Comment

Re: Cisco IOS
There are lots of Cisco router tutorials/books floating around the web, or you can check Amazon reviews - sorry not to be more specific.

Re: Cisco IOS
i had a look around and my model does require a support contract, its a Cisco 2620XM and i was thinking of using it as a home router if possible, i also do have a serial cable. The router is currently running IOS 12.2, i got telnet and some passwords configured but thats about it
For a home router, the configuration is pretty simple. Something like
conf t
int fast 0/0
ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
no shut
int fast 0/1
ip address 192.168.2.254 255.255.255.0
no shut
end
With the above, you are "routing".--- begin sig file ---

Re: Cisco IOS
I was CCNA qualified in 2003. But barely used the IOS since... Had to configure a VPN for a company last year, and maybe two other Cisco 800 series broadband routers... But the official Cisco CCNA book was excellent, both for general networking and for the IOS. The routing commands are similar but slightly different to the Windows ROUTE command, but the great thing about Cisco routers is
a) You have a startup-config and a running-config.. When you have configured the running-config to where you want it, you type wr mem (write to memory) to make the running-config your startup-config... This has the huge advantage that if you mess something up while configuring the running-config, you can simply power off the router and it will return you to the startup-config..
b) By typing show run or show startup-config, you can see one page with the whole configuration. This can be copied to notepad and saved. Every time I make a change to a Cisco router I take a copy before doing anything.
Back at the time I used a number of emulation programs that allowed you to configure a couple of virtual routers.. this made it easy to learn the commands without messing up anything real ... oh, the fun I had sending ICMP packets around my virtual Cisco network :-)Comment

Re: Cisco IOS
Cisco Connection Online is your best bet (www.cisco.com). There are manuals for all of the products, new or old, as well as design documents, White Papers, etc.
Good luck!Comment

Re: Cisco IOS
Probably first thing to do is wr t (short for write terminal) will give you the running config. You could always post that and we could explain what it says and suggest any changes.
As many have suggested a good CCNA book or webpage is a good way to get started. Cisco also has a command reference that will let you know all the potential commands and their syntax.
There is a hump to get over but once you do it will come rather easily.Comment

Re: Cisco IOS
The 2620xm only came with one fast ethernet port. There is a module that can be installed in it to add a second one. This will be needed to use it as a home router with most home internet setups. It also doesnt have very good throughput (about 8mbps)
I have 2 of them I picked up for like $5 each and thought about using them the same way, but ended up buying a 2851 instead.
You can get some good information on cisco configuration from ine training videos on youtube

Re: Cisco IOS
Also you can use a 2620xm as a home router with only one fast ethernet port is you set it up as a "router on a stick" You will slow the throughput down even more thoughComment

Re: Cisco IOS
When I was studying for my CCNA I used "CBT Nuggets" It gave me a great foundation to Cisco style networking. Also try and acquire a device running Cisco OS or use a virtual lab such as Packet Tracer as Ant3202 stated in his reply."Friends don't let friends drink and edit the registry"

Re: Cisco IOS
CBT nuggets is greatvideo series. Seriously watch the whole series and go pass your CCNA. lol. Im using a 2611XM, as my current home router has 2 FA ports, also added a fxs/fxo ports to play with telephony (CME), there is a nugget on that too :p. search google with wildcard for ios file names and you should be able to get up to 12.4 or 12.6 to get the zone base firewall feature. adv-k9 or something like that.Last edited by mattch; 12-03-2014, 11:39 AM.Comment

Re: Cisco IOS
You probably couldn't do much at all with it, except may be practice with some IOS features. But, you will not know if it works because it needs to be connected to another compatible networking device. However, you could set up GNS3 and use your PC as a virtual router or switch.

You will need a relevant IOS image to install in order for it to work.Comment

by SuperAmanI did an hdmi port repair for a PS5 and I lost the small diode z71 SOD923 on the back of the port. I did a trace repair for pin 19 of the port as well. Without the diode I get no display at all. I tried replacing the diode twice but after I get flux on it the marking comes off so I can't tell if I have it on the right orientation. When I measure I get a reading of 1(open) and 923 in diode mode. Is 923 a normal reading for these and also which side should the reading be with regards to the arrow on the board?...

This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.
Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today.... -

by EasyGoing1I've been writing a program in Java that is really just a robust front end for the use of GitHiub Gists, providing a nice interface for developers to organize, maintain and access code snippets that we tend to need from time to time in our different projects.
One of the features of the program is the ability for people to share their Gists with others who use the program over a LAN or over the Internet. The program just basically serializes a Java class and encrypts it then wraps it into a UDP datastream and sends it over to another user.
So I decided to implement UPNP...-

by testaccgtaHi, everyone!
I've recently acquired two brand new SPI chips to replace the one currently in my Acer A514-54G laptop MB (FH5AT LA-K092P). The reason why I'm replacing the current SPI chip is because I had some difficulties with a third-party IT assistant who pretty much lacked the soldering skills and ended up destroying the current SPI chip soldered to my MB from factory.
I've decided to do this on my own because I spent the past month or so learning some soldering skills and BIOS modding through Badcaps and WinRaid forums, hence the attempt. I've also chosen to buy...-
