CCDA update
Well, I finally passed a practice test. It is the crazy wording that gets me every time. I am starting to see the end in sight and let’s hope I am not being delusional. Two weeks to go until I sit the CCDA. It has been a long painful road. This exam has taken many months to long to study for.

Go, Go Turbo ACLs, Mighty Morphin' ACLs
p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }a:link { } Photo taken from kevindooley on FlickrSo I just learned about these bad boys today, Turbo (complied) ACLs. Ever hear of them? Using them is a great way to cut down on processor resources for your Cisco 7200, 7500, and 12000 Series Routers. (On a side note, doesn’t “Turbo ACL” just make you think of Power Rangers or something. I can’t help but get...
