major_clangerLunchtime, Day 2. Today in class Teech got us to practice saving and restoring router configurations via TFTP server...
This is definitely a very different course from the network design overview, although they sit side-by-side in Cisco's master plan of certification training. That was all block diagrams and case studies; this is lots of short, intense lessons interspersed with periods of tapping away at a terminal window saying things to routers like:
config
interface serial 0
clock rate 64000
no shutdown
(Cisco logic for you: in their Internetworking Operating System, you turn off a router port with the shutdown command. So, obviously, you turn it on with the no shutdown command. Worryingly, after a day or two this seems eminently sensible.)
But at least there are the afternoon break sticky buns to keep us going.
