You are a total Master, love your videos, the energy and enthusiasm is the best, thanks for sharing the knowledge, God bless you.
I appreciate that!
Keith, Awesome channel. What do you think of the ISR 4331as a home lab router. Are there ports truely a gig? Been watching for quite some time.
Thank you gene L. Feel free to join my Discord sever. Lots of people there helping each other out. Each Saturday at 10am Pacific I hold my "Office Hour" where learners can ask questions about the topics they are studying. Mostly focusing on Cisco CCNA 200-301 topics. Feel free to join us there live if you are available. Here is the link ogit.online/Join_OGIT_on_Discord
Thanks again gene L!
Hi Keith, great video as always. What term em are you using and how did you configure mutiple different colours for certain commands or key words ?
Hey keith, what terminal program are you using ? I like the different colours.
should be secure CRT take a look: forums.vandyke.com/showthread.php?p=45225
I like your style! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a similar setup at home that I built for my CCNA and beyond studies.
Very cool!
Excellent ! Just ran into your channel. Will be back.
Keith what is that terminal application you are using?
Thank you for the question Russell Jarman. I bought a license for SecureCRT, and it has a .ini input function for Cisco keywords that makes it look fun.
@@KeithBarker Thanks Keith had a feeling it was SecureCRT.
Keith, I love this idea. In some of your videos on cbt nuggets you have us blow away the config and recreate them in different way to try different techniques out. Will wiping the config remove the vrf as well or is there a way to make these management consoles persist between configuration wipes?
Thank you for the question Bryan Hutchins. In a word, yes. If we erase the startup-config, then reload, the entire config will be toast.
One solution would be to create a basic config, with the VRFs and IPs (int he VRF) in place, save it, and then copy the startup configuration file to a different name such as start.txt, then you could copy the start.txt to the startup config, reload the router, and it would come up with just the config you need for the mgmt.
Happy studies, and thanks for the insightful question Bryan.
Great video and great content, but I have a question: what's that balanced spinning metal thing in the background?
Thank you for the question Miller Diller.

Keith, did you make a video some time ago where you showed us how to configure HSRP when there are 2 ISP lines to your house? (Basically, redundant WAN connections.) Can you please share the link if there is such a video? Have a nice weekend.

Wooow! Thank you!!! :) Much love!
I do the same exact thing with all my old stuff lol. I have one of those giant clear tubs and it's full of 1 gallon ziplock bags with USB (types separated), power cords, display cables, random connections I never use, mice, webcams. I feel like I could start an eBay store straight from that box and stay afloat for a while LOL
Keith, I've been following for so many years and still you are the best! I appreciate all the material!
Thank you Fer Girano!
Congratulations dude, great content with a good explanation.
Much appreciated!
Thank You
What happens when we connect straight cable instead of crossover cable.
Hi Keith, if I'm studying the CCNA 200-301, is setting up a network topology like yours sufficient enough to learn everything I'd need to for the exam? Great video. Thanks.
Yes, absolutely. All you need is either PT software (free from Cisco) or a few routers and switches. At a minimum 3 routing devices, and 2 switching devices.

Thanks again Ali MSH!
Can I replace the generic switch with a vlan on a managed layer 2 switch?
Edit: There of course would be a layer 3 device to do the routing

Keith. would like to Porsuit my ccna 200-301 would you help me ? i have got a lab and i dont know how to make it being helpul to make it working to reach the internet. i know you have posted a video, how to connet the lab to the internel, can you share the link, pleas. thanks in advance
It should be easy enough to go to his channel page and search for it in the videos list, it was a fairly recent video.
Hello Keith, I love the vids and content you keep coming out with. I have a question, how do you get your secure CRT to have those colors. I have hard time reading terminals outputs sometimes. Thank you
Thank you for the question. forums.vandyke.com/showthread.php?p=49910
thanks keith
Happy to do it, thanks for the feedback Working_LAN.
Hey keith it`s Azooz
i have a question that, is your videos on TH-cam is enough to prepare for the CCNA ?
or should i attend at CBT nuggets? Thanks
Thank you عبدالعزيز الجابري You will want some full course training, as this channel won't be addressing each and every topic on the blueprint. CBT does cover it all, and there is a 7 days free option when you join. learn.gg/ogit-cbtn
Happy studies.
Keith Barker thanks
What ? I’m confuse. How many routers and switches do I need in order to set one up for a home lab? Just so I can practice getting better CCNA lab.
You don't **NEED** to set a home lab up to complete your CCNA, it would be perfectly adequate to use Packet Tracer or other virtual solutions. With that being said, there's some aspects of higher level certifications that you need equipment to lab, and there's a certain novelty aspect to physical gear. In that sense, you can get as many as you think that your particular design will need to be effectively accommodated.
Virtual gear is actually preferred to physical gear when it's possible because of its scalability...if I want to add an extra router to serve as a BGP route reflector in a CCIE lab, it's much easier for me to drag out a new router in CML, GNS3, or EVE-NG compared to spending $100 to wait 2 days while a UPS machine throws around my router like a game of hot potato.
Kelvin Tran hi kelvin, thank you for your response. Do you think it possible to pass CCNA exam by just watching CCNA course videos and do the lab but ignore reading the book?
@@vsonic86 You can pass the CCNA if you learn the content. However you do that is up to you.
I would love to see a vid about reverse telnet config with an octopus [er, octal] cable
Joe A. has a video from many years ago, here is the specific starting point, in the video, for the config th-cam.com/video/GPVGhKO7Izk/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy.
Greetings Everyone!
Well explained , Enjoyable and Awesome .
Many thanks!
I setup ospf between my cisco router and juniper gear
That is always fun to do a protocol "cross vendor". Way to go!
Nice job, dude! Juniper's OSPF syntax is fun! I actually quite like their show ospf database command, especially the show ospf database [LSA type] (e.g. netsummary, external, etc.) commands. I like that unlike IOS, it doesn't choke you with the details of the LSAs if you decide that you want to filter by LSA type...
Now, their BGP syntax can be shown the door by a horse...
Keith , where can i buy the tshirt?
Thank you for the question Jaime. I don't have them publicly available, but that is on my list. Thanks for the interest, and happy studies.
Ohhhhh already finished😢😢😢
Thank you for stopping by, next time! We have an online quiz Sunday morning at 11am Pacific. Topic coming up is reading a routing table! Join us if you can.
Keith. You’re simple the best
Thank you Bonito Viegas!
Nice video.
Thanks for the visit
Keith! Thanks
Happy to do it, thanks for the feedback
Keith, I'm a big fan and a CBT student. I have (3)1941 routers in my home lab and your vrf method is working great on all of them. However on my (3) 3750 switches I'm having some difficulty. They are running IOS 15 and it spits out % Enable CEF globally before configuring VRF on any interface. The sub options are distributed, line card, load-sharing, optimize, and traffic-statistics. Which should I choose? I've googled high and low and can't figure it out to get vrf working on my lab switches. Thank you sir!
Thank you for the question Mark Lipford. www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipswitch_cef/configuration/15-s/isw-cef-15-s-book/isw-cef-enable-disable.html
See if that above link may provide a clue or two.
Great video tutorial Keith! I’ve been playing a lot setting my gns3 with server 2016 and win 10 client connect them to my gns3 lab topology but this is only inside my gns3, I have to connect it to my internet, and this is going to be another exciting project!
Thanks again for the video
P.S. : I guess Covid-19 can’t make you go out and go to barbershop 😁
Thank you
