Cert Monkey ......

It's been a while, it seems that I rarely writing in this blog lately
Last week, my peers telling me that I should take the Juniper exam to extended our Partnership with Juniper (My current company have partnership with Juniper). Well at first I really reluctant to say 'YES', but..., because this one was an assignment from the Company, I took it.

the first information was, off course, www.juniper.net and find out the information about the certification. After digging deeper, I found out that Juniper is giving a discount voucher for JNCIA and JNCIS exam...., Cool. Eh, before we move on, I just wanna tell you guys (I reckon most of you knowing this already, hihihi) that Juniper has 4 Level of certification

JNCIA ---> CCENT
JNCIS ---> CCNA
JNCIP ---> CCNP
JNCIE ---> CCIE

and currently there are 3 tracks to be tackled (ENT/RS, SP, and Security). I studied the fundamental one, which is JNCIA-Junos. Fortunate Enough I have the opportunity to find the resources that provide the Junos Emulator, where I studied with several logical router.

after spending time and get use to it, i'm quite comfortable with the way it runs and feels. It seems that Junos is much more modular compare with the IOS (That is why Cisco developing IOS-XR and other IOS version) because it moch more modular.

in my opinion, in Junos you will have to configure based on policy in almost every single feature. And this global policy will then be applied to specific configuration, such as routing protocol or interface.

most of the networking concept are the same between Juniper and Cisco, but I have to admit, some or most I should say, the behavior is realllllly difference, for example in Routing protocol advertisement.

In Cisco we'll just run it in global config, and puff...., the router will start to talking each other. But, in Junos is not that way, RIP routing for example, has a default export policies which is not going to export anything unless we specified to do so....

sort story I took the exam, and alhamdulillah got my JNCIA-Junos. It seems that I will study more for Juniper because I have to take the JNCIS-ENT also. Luckily my current company have 2 EX Juniper switch so i can study the switching part.

when I think of it...., It seems that I am a Cert Monkey#!&#

I don't know, I just love it when I earn something good, in this case the Certification.

good luck for you folks that is persuing Professional Cert.

Attending the Seminar

Hi everybody, its been a while since I haven't wrote anything in the last couple months.

well today i attended the seminar that was held in Plaza Bapindo, Indonesia. I was lucky enough to see Mr. Himawan Nugroho (Technical Advisor in Cisco System, Triple CCIE) Presented the seminar called "Competing in the Global Market" live.

 It really boost my motivation to working aboard someday ;). Mr. Himawan Shared about his invaluable experience about his projects in Cisco System. The most important lesson that I got when attending that Seminar is that we have to be able to adapt with something that is not according to the plan. well, me myself is kinda person that 'strict' to the policy (most of them are created by myself). I will get mad or angry if I get into the situation where I am not in the position where it should be according to the plan.

Mr. Himawan said that the value of the great Leader will show if he/she get into the situation like i describe above. How can he/she handle or react to the unexpected situation is really important.

Well, it means that there are a lot of case that we are going to face the non-technical problem much more difficult compare to the technical one.

 talking about technical stuff, I was reviewing my Security study, I can't believed that I had already done with Exercising for Vol1 exercise for Security technology, which mean I have to do the 'revise' my own configuration and notes about 'those stuff' before move on into the Vol2, and that quite make my brain freeze..... (I'm now reviewing the L2L VPN, next gotta be ezVPN Stuff)

Last word from me, as a Junior and green in the real-Networking field, is :

Thank you Mr. Himawan for the event, I really appreciate it ;)

A week after surgery

Hello all

well, it's been a while since my last post in July.
I've just done my surgery on my nose...., how's that...?!?!?

well, when i was a child (with funny face, i guess, hehe), I had an accident, that cause my bone inside my nose was 'bend'. from that moment, I had a problem with my nose :(

I've been experiencing this 'illness', which is I completely cannot breath to my local doctor. He just gave me some medicine when the problem occurs. And I've been like this 13 years :(

finally I've decided to know, what is the root cause of this disease, and I know that my 'gland' is bigger than normal, so that is why i cannot breath easily.

on September 24, 2011 I had a surgery....

Now it is time for me to do the recovery, and hopefully after this surgery I will be able to breath normally and I can do hard work without side effect from my nose (usually i will get knock down and I cannot breath >.<)

well, let's go to the technology side of view. starting from this week, I will explore about VPN's Technology. I remember that I've spent the whole day just to test out Certificate based approach on ISAKMP, and that was a good experience.

I'm telling you guys, the Security Technology provide such a great entertainment ^_^

the more I study, the more I realized that I know nothing \(^0^)/, and that is great because it motivates me to study more...and more......

i hope that has been informative :)

OER/PfR the Configuration Template

Guys, I don't know how to upload the presentation either in the P@ or in this blog, so I will come up with the idea of the configuration template.

BR-Configuration
!
key chain KC_OER
key 1
key-string CISCO
!
oer border
logging <-- every log will be count (default=off)
local Loopback0
master 150.1.1.1 key-chain KC_OER
active-probe address source interface Loopback0 <-- To make the Border calculate the parameter based on delay or throughput for example :)
!
end


Master_Controller-Configuration
!
key chain KC_OER
key 1
key-string CISCO
!
oer master
logging
!
border 150.1.2.2 key-chain KC_OER
interface FastEthernet0/0 external <-- The one facing the outside Network
interface FastEthernet0/1 internal <-- The one facing the Master-Controller
!
border 150.1.3.3 key-chain KC_OER
interface FastEthernet0/0 external
interface FastEthernet0/1 internal
!
learn <-- Profile Phase, in this case i will measure based on delay and throughput
throughput
delay
periodic-interval 1 < i will use the result of the calculation for 1 minutes
monitor-period 2 <-- I will do the calculation for 2 minutes
aggregation-type prefix-length 32
!
no max range receive
holddown 180
backoff 90 180
mode route control <-- I will inject the route if necessary
mode route metric static tag 777
mode select-exit best <-- the exit point will purely based on performance
periodic 90
resolve delay priority 1 variance 1 <-- delay is my first concern in performance
resolve utilization priority 2 variance 1
resolve loss priority 3 variance 1
resolve range priority 4
!
!
end

verification command:

Border:
R#show oer border
R#show oer border passive cache prefix
R#debug oer border active-probe detail

Master:
R#show oer master
R#show oer master prefix? <-- need to be verified, I'm not in front of the CLI right know :p
