Networking is such a specialized skill it isn't surprising that so many networks are badly configured. I worked at a company that used routing processes as a substitute for VRF. It was madness.

hi Rob can you help my setting up my Cisco ASA 5510 please can do IT by myself 😁

Is this for the new CCDE AI exam?

Not sure what that notification sound was that kept going off, but it's the exact same sound I have on my work phone for Webex messages and I kept thinking someone sent me a message everytime I heard it.

I have 3 standard Switches because some are 1GB and some are 10GB, can you still use a Single DV switch? and just adjust Teaming, or use Multiple DV switches?

Can you please share your server characteristics?

Hi, speaking of Design, how DC core should be connected to Campus core? For example: there is location where users are sitting and also Data Center, and we need to interconnect Campus Core (catalyst switches) and DC Core (nexus switches). Interconnection between Nexus and Catalyst should be L3 with some sort of routing protocol running between them or it should be L2 with VLANs spanning between between them? And if answer is "it depends", could you please bring use cases for both designs?

Do group ID's need to match. I have a pseudo wire that is sending receiving on 1 side while not receiving on the other. Cbit: 1, VC Type: Ethernet, GroupID: 9 MTU: 9000, Interface Desc: DSB (DOL_S.6TH_ST_101 MPLS to 27880_Hwy_160) {1030070} [100M] VCCV: CC Type: CW [1], RA [2] CV Type: LSPV [2] Remote Label: 16 Cbit: 1, VC Type: Ethernet, GroupID: 6

This is so valuable. Me being a network engineer , you wont see this kind of valuable content even if paying £1000's . Absolutely brilliant and real time content.Keep it up .

I just canceled my Patreon subscription. Are going to add other sources of payment like Paypal?

Keep up the good work Rob. Hope we can signup to the website soon because now it will not let you.

Thanks Rob! I'm going through KBITS right now but soon as I'm done with his material I will jump on this.

+1

The new IOL-XE (both L2 and L3 images) inside CML 2.7 are really very light, but I think it lacks some features if you compare it to IOSv-L3 and IOSv-L2. So, I don't think you can use it completely as replacement for IOSv-L3, but maybe you can mix and match, in the same topology you can use both images to make as big topology as you want and at the same time it won't need a lot of resources. But of course you can check IOL-XE and maybe it has all features you need. Generally, from my experience IOSv-L3 and IOSv-L2 are not very resource hungry. The most important, please don't use CSR 1000v 🙂

Please use /30 between devices whenever possible and whenever it's correct by design, in that case the topology feels more realistic. Staged approach which you want to use for CCDE / Real world networking is a great idea. What I'd like to see it's something like greenfield deployment, when you build everything from the scratch: switching, routing, security (firewall, all kind of vpn, etc.), wireless, load balancers, SP, DC, etc.

I had the issue with Patreon when I tried to cancel it, it gave me the option to get the $25 or $10 price so as not to cancel the subscription. So I was able to get all access for $25.

Website would be best, I believe . The Patreon Enterprise workbook level, so If I purchase the level once and cancel afterwards I have lifetime access. Just so that I'm reading and understanding the levels.

Awesome 🎉

Hey Rob! First off all, let me thank you for everything that you are doing in the networking field. I admire your passion. Keep it up! Could you please help me out...I am trying to replicate the campus design in EVE-NG, the three tier network design that you portrayed in this video and I would like your advice as to which network devices I am to put at each each Layer - Access, Distribution and Core. Should I go with the iosvl2 image for access and distribution and perhaps iosv l3 or Nexus for Core?! I have a dedicated server, so processing power and memory should not be a problem. Cheers!

longtime veiwer Rob! wondering if your notepad notes be available on google drive like your RIP notes are please?

Hi i have a sophos in eve-ng with lag config on protocol lacp connet this devices to nexus vpc , portchannel and lag interface both up without problem i allowed vlan 10 on trunk but i cant ping svi 10 from firewall and viceversa If this possible for you please run this scenario maybe i can findout what is my problem thank you❤

Hey man you've been doing this ish forever .. respect for the consistency

Great. Thanks!

That is a wild sentiment regarding the self lab building. I feel that the prebuilt labs don't save time when building "complicated" technologies. It is so much nicer to understand all the pieces involved as you inevitably build upon the basic operation.

Thank you Rob , your content is top notch you are one the few ones that know how to effectively explain it concepts and you also give real world scenarios , may God bless you and your family <3

Hi Rob, in one of the previous video you mentioned that you want to size down topology of ENARSI lab. And you were going to remove disaster recovery site from the topology. Is there any way you can keep it? I think it would be interesting to test things related to disaster recovery.

Most memorable Nick Russo content you studied (may he R.I.P.)?

What’s your opinion on Cisco adding a lot of 5G content to the SP track?

Just a tip, I don’t think anyone passed the CCIE-SP exam since the November change (or hardly a couple)…. so please wait before taking the exam for attempt #1.

When are you planning to take the CCIE SP exam?

Does this mean you will he attempting the CCDE lab exam? I don’t think it will harder than your triple CCIE attempts for RS.

Any new BBQ creation?

Why did you say before that the BGP Conditional Route Advertisement is considered your toughest BGP feature? I have studied it lately and I’m not seeing what you see in it difficulty wise, and hence want to see your POV

Is the BGP SoO used in ISPs mainly for traffic engineering or to stop loops?

May you please talk in your next video about ISP-to-ISP communication and between them is multiple ISPs? As in how the traffic would go - the multiple ISP rings (if I may say) and so? You’re welcomed to go of tangents. Its an interesting idea that its all ISP rings with no “core” or “backbone” if that makes any sense.

Welcome back Rob!

Ty. Will be signing up soon.

So will the All Access Pass also give you access to the Workbook under the $50 option in Patreon. Sorry, it's early in the morning and I need a little clarity. :) As always. thank you

I think the pseudo sd wan reference was more of a relation to understanding HSRP. But HSRP is more for the LAN than WAN.

Lets go! Congratulations

Great video my man!

Your video is amazing, but i have to ask you about if i can go straightforward with a specific blueprint such as ccnp Encor without reading official books like cisco press, i meant that if i can pass the exam according to video courses and practicing extensive real lab scenarios, is that fillup the gap ?

Hey Rob, I’m truly impressed by the number of certifications you’ve completed. Your ability to balance study with your other responsibilities is remarkable. Could you create a video outlining your study process for these exams? I’m particularly interested in how you determine when you’re ready to take an exam, among other insights you might share.

I like the way you made the Excel sheet. Did almost the same for my CCIE and using the same style again for current CCDE study. Can recommend. Looking forward to more video's of your CCDE study.

What do you think of doing weekly lab streams over the topics you are studying for. I think that would be awesome for those of us who want to follow along.

Rob, I would love to see content around your CCDE studies. I'm on the CCIE track at the moment, but CCDE is something I'm interested in at some point as well.

Great info Rob! Since the Island until now you have stayed focused!
