Someone pls help oo

I was connected to this spectranet wireless stuff

I was monitoring the data usage on my laptop... It was moving normally.. Like few megabytes of data...

All of a sudden I saw it was showing about 1gig without doing any real stuff online... I was shocked

I checked my windows update... It was off..

Abeg, do you know if it's possible or how to check what's using the network underground? Or the possible reasons for the sudden upsurge in data usage

Biko

Thanks!

Are you familiar with Wireshark? It's based off of TCPDUMP (if you are familiar with Linux/UNIX) but it's a graphical UI.

With Wireshark you can actually view the traffic on a network. It's amazing software

For Networking newbies I have to tell y'all something,I know theoretically it's said that Cat5e cable has maximum length of 100m but guys believe me when I say you shouldn't ever try running the cat5 cables in the market for anything more than 10m. I was called in to troubleshoot a network failure and for a very long time I didn't realize the cabling was the problem as it was in conduit and was actually working. Only that after a few hours the connection just goes dead. We tested the network cable end to end andhad consistent readings and the latency wasn't a problem it took a whole day to realizd that just one cable between a server and switch was actually a very inferior cat5 cable and as such was losing connectivity intermittently. So guys be careful and get very high quality if you're using cat5 or preferably just use cat6 cables and mind the diameter of the wire core because the larger the diameter the better connection.

OH My! That must have been a pain. I've never had such issues with Cat5 cables. I find them very dependable but then I agree quality does matter.

Honestly we felt quite embarassed because we were called upon to fix things up quickly. Defiinitely quality though,inferior cables are just a pain in the offing

Having searched far and wide on nairaland for people with this type of practical knowledge on networking,i end my search here.
i would so much love to be part of this group.
my mail : egbosikelechi@gmail.com

i have real passion for networking but haven,t found an avenue to nuture it.

i have done comptia N+ at NIIT and presently studying sybex ccna routing and switching guide to help me acquire more knowledge.

please help me to be guided on this path i have chosen.

orlamicome@gmail.com am in


already studying for ccna. Pls which one is better ccna routing nd switching or ccna security

If youre serious with networking you gotta start with R&S,then maybe wireless before security or voice.

Exactly. That's one thing you've learnt and shared with us. Thanks a bunch. Noone knows it all

If she's into security,after rns,she can go to ccna security straight..

Doing ccna rns before ccna security is just to let her has basic understanding of the field I.e NETWORKING!!!!!!!!

Ofcourse that's the most logical path IF she's into security,but she sounded like a newbie so I gave the other choice.With RnS and Wireless you still get alot of security skills to get by quite well unless you're going much deeper

Hello geeks, I have been able to integrate a switch IOS on GNS3 using IOS3725, NM-16ESW module, then set it up as an Ether-switch . You can now more switching configs and perhaps create a switching topology which and be managed. I also able notice that I couldn't implement Rapid-Pvst, only the native ieee pvst runs as default. Since you will be using this as a switch you can also disable IP routing @ global mode.

Am actually studying for my switching exams so that's why I decided to do a little research about this.

Below is the link to download IOS 3725

Happy Switching

If the person is really interest in becoming a cyber security expert,there's no need for wireless as training on ceh ,msce etc can easily make up for that. + ccnp too

I wish I could comment. I am not really a big fan of security.

OK bro....can I get materials from you on ccna rns 200-120 Todd lammle sybex series

I learnt that 640-802 composite exams has been retired!How true is this

640, it's been almost two years since this got retired. The new one is the 200-101

I just don't understand if you expect to make sense out of your comment. Noone is doing skill knowledge competition. It's thread where if people know something, they share. I just stated I wasn't a big fan so I didn't know what to say about security. So which one be this your no be you ask question. If you don't have anything to say, why not refrain from using your keyboard ? Na must make you comment?

I mean composite exams not individual icnd 1 or 2 type

Yes, it is outdated. Been 2 years now. The new composite is 200-120. Sorry I wrote 200-101 earlier.
And somehow I didn't totally get your initial post. You asked for books on CCNA RnS 200-120 and then talked about 640-802. The 200-120 now replaces the old 640. Cisco retired the terms with 640 2 years ago and now it's CCNA - 200 and CCNP - 300.
Just google CCNA v2.0 or CCNAX

baba11:

@ kode12:We are all learning here.Don't take it personal.

From my post ,what i mean is that if she really wants to be an expert in the security circle,she doesn't need wireless rather rns and security is enough because she may still need to do ccnp,ceh,msce which will be somewhat like repetition or mere waste of time.

* ***don't take offence * * **

We are all learning here... OKAY

I'm referring to the composite 200-120 type...Can I count on you for preparatory materials

I'm sorry, but, wasn't this your question ?

I've given the answer to the second question twice now. IT HAS BEEN RETIRED AND REPLACED WITH 200-120. 200-120 is new the composite and 640-802 is old. In fact, the last time I heard that was in 2013.
The 640-802 has been now replaced with the following exams:
200-120 CCNA Composite
100-101 ICND1
200-101 ICND2

And for prepatory materials, get the Todd Lammle book. It's not that expensive and it's good enough to study, understand and nail the exam.

All the best.

Bros why u dey hot like that na,I wasn't even talking to you oh twas baba11, I quoted you in error and I think baba11 got our jerk we're good bro

Oh that was a mistake ? AH I was surprised. I responded since it was me you mentioned and not baba11. I actually made my initial post as a joke because believe me that security no be my thing at all. To go the security route, you must know everything. From Wireless to Voice to Data, everything, you're securing all forms of data flow so you've gotta be a jack of all trade plus a little ethical hacking too. Eh that thing e get as e be.

Yes oh,thats why I said don't just bother with security if you're not going all the way. CCNP RnS security is tough enough,anyone with good grounding can implement adequate security protocols

This is already a study group. The most you can do is contribute and not asking people to follow your group. If you read the thread properly, it's a study group on where people share stuffs. If you've got anything to share, you can go ahead and share.

That being said, I don't really think you can lab CCNA collab effectively (I'm not saying it's impossible) but you'll have to configure a lot. Kudos on having set that up. How's it working for you ?
And the INE All Access Pass - how much did you get that for ?

I think it is better to have a Skype study group or any other video conferencing app. So we can demonstrate and learn better. This platform is just a forum, it can't replace study group.
