2012 WILL BE HUGE !
After taking 2011 pretty much off, It's back to the rat races again, both literally and figuratively.
2012 New Years Resolutions
1. get my CCNP and/or CCIP and move into an Engineering slot at the end of the year or early next.
2. Lose 20 lbs, both for my joints as I age, and for 20lbs less in the autocross car. I carry 200lbs ok, but I'd like to get into a 34inch waist from my tight 36 now. I'll wait to buy a race seat until I accomplish this... ;-)
3. Make it to all the races I plan to.
4. Get us fully financially healthy so that more can go into the college funds starting 2013
5. Win at least one trophy in STX at a national level race.
6. Win STX locally at both SPOKES and SASCA.

Moving on to OSPF
Another lil' break but getting charged up to push on. Working OSPF sims and some reading.

Link to Tutorial for setting up Putty Connection Manager in GNS3
http://www.brainbump.net/2008/08/gns3how-to-use-putty-connection-manager-for-console-access/
I haven't been able to get this to work yet. Setting up the path in GNS3 to PCM is giving me fits.
I can open PCM by itself and access two routers that I set up in GNS3 after installing PCM, but I cannot open any older lab projects that I made earlier. It appears either the tutorial is not done on a 64bit system, or it was done on an earlier version of GNS3, or both.

CBT Nuggets Advanced EIGRP lab configuration
I ended up finding out that some IP addresses I had set a previous time I had the Junos lab open had stayed attached to the interface. Once I figured out how to delete the addresses, (or I could have just made the IP I wanted active, the primary address) it pinged through fine.
Anyway, with this solved, back to the CCNP studying.
Reworked the EIGRP CBT Nuggets lab in GNS3. These Configs include everything in videos 5 and 6, including the Frame relay router setup.
DON'T Forget to set your clocks in your routers...

JunOS on GNS3
Ok. Apparently, I was making the whole junos on GNS3 out to be a lot more difficult than it is now, it seems, at least for me. The version of OLIVE I sourced already had all the modifications to QEMU, and FreeBSD made, so I didn't have to do anything but set the path to the instance of OLIVE.
Anyway, if you can source a usable version of Olive(the one I found already had QEMU patched for UDP out of the box), and are running at least GNS3 V7.4 on a Vista machine as I am, I can verify it works out of the box, and the setup is similar to QEMU hosts.
After years of simply monitoring Juniper interfaces, now I am configuring them...

I'm Back !
Looks like I'm going to ramp up again for at least taking Route hopefully by the end of the year.
First though, I am figuring out GNS3 as relates to QEMU hosting and running Juniper Olive as I'd like to get Juniper certified in the near future as well. We are using more Juniper in our Commercial Edge Network everyday, and I seem to end up working most of the new installs and initial triage of customer issues lately. I've moved to a daytime shift for the first time since I went back to school back in summer of 2003(Woo Hoo!)
Since graduating last August, there just weren't any opportunities to move to days until just this August, but finally, I'm there.
If I can figure it all out, (and I just got MicroCore and the Qemu hosting figured out in about 5 minutes), I'll post another how to for folks here. The how-to I used for the QEMU hosting is here:
https://docs.google.com/View?id=dfzhd6z4_397g3jjf4db
It's quite good, and actually the process is quite simple.
Anyway, good to be back on it and can't wait to get JUNOS up and running.
Looks like at least a few people may have found what I've posted here helpful, as it's getting close to 3,000 page looks now, and seems to be averaging about 400 per month or so.
