Module1 introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. The principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. By the end of the course, students will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes.
Module 2 describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with RIPv1, RIPv2, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Module 3 describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a larger and more complex network. Students learn how to configure routers and switches for advanced functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement DHCP and DNS operations in a network.
Module 4 discusses the WAN technologies and network services required by converged applications in a complex network. The course enables students to understand the selection criteria of network devices and WAN technologies to meet network requirements. Students learn how to configure and troubleshoot network devices and resolve common issues with data link protocols. Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement IPSec and virtual private network (VPN) operations in a complex network.
You can prepare to take the Cisco CCENT certification exam after completing the first two modules and/or the CCNA Routing and Switching exam after completing all four modules. Exams need to be booked and paid for separately via a Pearson Vue testing centre.
Recently a Cisco 2600 modular access router was gifted to me by a friend who had one for some unknown reason. Recently I have taken an interest in CCNA and just the general cisco networking and thought that this router would be a great way for me to get a grips with everything.
For modules (hardware and software) you may consult CISCO Site 2600 Series as about where to get them, ebay is your friend as Robert5205 mentions (search for specific part number that is compatible with your exact model).
Now for the record, in order to test an interface you need to have one connected to someone from the other site of copper wire so testing T1/E1 would not be possible if you do not have a T1/E1 connectivity available; same for all interfaces less of ethernet (that you are already using).
Hi everyone I am preparing for the ccna certification. For my labs I'm using "cisco packet tracer" I've come to the router chapter. When running my first command "show int serial 0/0/0 or 1" and all other serial interfaces, it doesn't work. From what I have been able to understand so far that in order for it to work with serial interfaces, I have to enable them. The problem is that the "HWIC-4ESW module" is missing at least this should be for serial interfaces.
My questions are:
1) Is HWIC-4ESW module the right module?
2) What are the modules? Ie in reality are the physical cards to be installed in the nim slots? Or are they software modules that are installed in routers anyway?
3) Where can I find these modules for cisco packet tracer? Is there also a guide?
The ciscopuppet module allows a network administrator to manage Cisco Nexus Network Elements using Puppet. This module bundles a set of Puppet Types, Providers, Beaker Tests, Sample Manifests and Installation Tools for effective network management. The resources and capabilities provided by this Puppet Module will grow with contributions from Cisco, Puppet Labs and the open source community.
The Cisco Nexus Network Elements and Operating Systems managed by this Puppet Module are continuously expanding. See Resource Platform Support Matrix for a list of currently supported hardware and software.
This GitHub repository contains the latest version of the ciscopuppet module source code. Supported versions of the ciscopuppet module are available at Puppet Forge. Please refer to [SUPPORT.md][MAINT-2] for additional details.
The ciscopuppet module has a dependency on the cisco_node_utils and the puppet-resource_api Ruby gem. See the Setup section that follows for more information on cisco_node_utils and puppet-resource_api.
Version 2.0.0 of this module introduces the ability to manage Cisco Nexus devices without the need to install an agent directly onto the device. This option is not available for ciscopuppet module version 1.10.0 and earlier.
On each puppetserver or PE master that needs to serve catalogs for NX-OS devices, classify or apply the ciscopuppet::server class. Using this class assumes that your puppetserver or PE Master is managed by Puppet.
The Puppet Agent requires installation and setup on each device. Agent setup can be performed as a manual process or it may be automated. For more information please see the [README-agent-install.md][USER-1] document for detailed instructions on agent installation and configuration on Cisco Nexus devices.
The cisco_node_utils Ruby gem is a required component of the ciscopuppet module. This gem contains platform APIs for interfacing between Cisco CLI and Puppet resources. The gem can be automatically installed by Puppet agent by using the ciscopuppet::agent class. Automatic dependency installs are preferred; manual gem installs should be reserved for exceptional circumstances.
The puppet-resource_api Ruby gem is a required component of the ciscopuppet module. The gem can be automatically installed by a Puppet agent by using the ciscopuppet::agent class. Automatic dependency installs are preferred; manual gem installs should be reserved for exceptional circumstances.
Once installed, the gems will remain persistent across system reloads within the Guestshell or OAC environments; however, the bash-shell environment does not share this persistent behavior, in which case the ciscopuppet::agent class automatically downloads and re-installs the gem after each system reload.
Puppet makes use of the nxos admin user by default for all types in this module. If a different user is required for puppet agent runs then the following procedure can be used to override admin with the desired user.
The module (version 2.0.0 or later) supports remote management through the usage of puppet device, which communicates with the device remotely via the nxapi through HTTP/HTTPS. In order to use the ciscopuppet module agentlessly then the following dependencies will need to be met.
The cisco_node_utils Ruby gem is a required component of the ciscopuppet module. This gem contains platform APIs for interfacing between Cisco CLI and Puppet resources. The gem will need to be installed on any Puppet agent which will be managing a NX-OS device. It can be automatically installed by Puppet by using the ciscopuppet::proxy class. Automatic gem installs are preferred; manual gem installs should be reserved for exceptional circumstances.
The puppet-resource_api Ruby gem is a required component of the ciscopuppet module. The gem will need to be installed on any Puppet agent which will be managing a NX-OS device. It can be automatically installed by Puppet by using the ciscopuppet::proxy class. Automatic gem installs are preferred; manual gem installs should be reserved for exceptional circumstances.
The net_http_unix Ruby gem is a required component of the ciscopuppet module. The gem will need to be installed on any Puppet agent which will be managing a NX-OS device. It can be automatically installed by Puppet by using the ciscopuppet::proxy class. Automatic gem installs are preferred; manual gem installs should be reserved for exceptional circumstances.
To get started, create or edit /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/device.conf, add a section for the device (this will become the device's certname), specify a type of cisco_nexus, and specify a url to a credentials file. For example:
Please note:: In order for the NX-OS device to be managed then the nxapi feature will need enabled on the device and the selected ports for HTTP/HTTPS will need to be accessible by the proxy-agent choosen to manage the device.
The following example demonstrates how to define a manifest that uses ciscopuppet to configure OSPF on a Cisco Nexus switch. Three resource types are used to define an OSPF instance, basic OSPF router settings, and OSPF interface settings:
The following resources include cisco types and providers along with cisco provider support for netdev stdlib types. Installing the ciscopuppet module will install both the ciscopuppet and netdev_stdlib modules.
Enable/Disable enforces the neighbor autonomous system to be the first AS number listed in the AS path attribute for eBGP. Valid values are 'true', 'false', and 'default'. On NX-OS, this property is only supported in the global BGP context.
Enable/Disable/specify size of cli event history buffer. Valid values are false', 'size_small', 'size_medium', 'size_large', 'size_disable'. Size can also be specified in bytes. Please Note: Setting this value to 'default' or 'true' has been deprecated in module version 1.8.0. This property is only used for BGP debugging purposes and idempotency is not guaranteed.
Enable/Disable/specify size of detail event history buffer. Valid values are 'false', 'size_small', 'size_medium', 'size_large', 'size_disable'. Size can also be specified in bytes. Please Note: Setting this value to 'default' or 'true' has been deprecated in module version 1.8.0. This property is only used for BGP debugging purposes and idempotency is not guaranteed.
