Re: Cisco IOS

Probably first thing to do is wr t (short for write terminal) will give you the running config. You could always post that and we could explain what it says and suggest any changes.

As many have suggested a good CCNA book or webpage is a good way to get started. Cisco also has a command reference that will let you know all the potential commands and their syntax.

There is a hump to get over but once you do it will come rather easily.

Hello all, I am Rip.

Currently a self-employed networking consultant.

I have spent time as an doing Electronic Warfare on an LA class submarine and doing ROV and acoustic work for oilfield and telcom companies before focusing on computers and networking. Found the forum after a great guy who fixed the power supply for my monitor pointed me to it.

Look forward to participating in what looks to be a great community.
