Question:
You wrote back to me about where I can look to find jobs in CIT CCNA and I have some more questions. I had taken the first class at the College of DuPage to get a CCNA and I plan on taking the next class.
I really want to get a job in this and not just spend money and time taking classes and get a CCNA and then no job. Is there still a demand for CCNA engineers in this economy? And if so, do you think the demand will grow for a CCNA engineer?
Reply:
There is a demand for qualified, certified network engineers, James. Do a search on ‘network engineer’ on the web. Try http://www.indeed.com; http://www.careerbuilder.com; http://www.monster.com; http://www.dice.com; http://www.usa.lucidjobs.com; http://www.ilworkinfo.com; http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tch.
Question:
What I got out of reading what you wrote to me was that a CCNA engineer can work in a lot of industries. Am I correct? These companies and organizations hire and need someone with a CCNA and not just a manager because you wrote manager. Am I correct? (The reason I ask that is because as someone who would be new with a CCNA, I would not be a manager.)
Reply:
Yes, you are correct. A networking engineer can come from any one of the many vertical markets, I mentioned. IT is everywhere!
Question:
Here is what you wrote me: "IT managers across all vertical markets, government, healthcare, education, finance, insurance/securities, wholesalers, and retailers in the production and distribution of products, law, entertain/sports, real estate, etc. hire our graduates. Depending on the individual student’s background, he/she may find a career in any of the following fields with a degree or certificate from CIT: network administrators, system support specialists, system administrators, technical support specialist, network support specialist, computer support, security specialist, convergence specialist, or VoIP support specialist. And of course, there are also many opportunities and careers in security, not only as a career but as a network professional in the IT departments of any of the above mentioned industries."
Reply:
I did not say that you are limited to becoming an IT manager, James. I said that IT managers from all these vertical markets hire our graduates. That, of course, is no guarantee that you will take our four CCNA prep courses and be guaranteed a job. It doesn’t work that way.
Question:
You also wrote that it would be a good idea to get an internship while working on getting my CCNA. I agree and I want to do that. In getting an internship, I can look at state and local governments, schools --high schools, insurance companies, stores like Macy's and Sam's Club and Walmart, factories, and Lawyers. Am I correct?
Reply:
Yes. In addition, internship opportunities exist for currently enrolled COD students completing a program of study through the Cooperative Education and Internship Program. You can go online to register, and check current internship openings at www.cod.edu/intern. Also, students may call 630-942-2611 for an appointment for more information.
Question:
I am confused as to the different fields you wrote, such as, network administrator and technical support specialist. It's confusing to me because at the college we learn how to be a CCNA engineer. How do we become those that you mentioned?
Reply:
James, I highly suggest that you do some research on your own. You can ‘google’ these different fields to get an understanding of each. In addition, you can search on them through the links I listed above, and take a look at the different job descriptions for each. You also have the COD library resources available to you.
Question:
I am also confused as to what I can write on my resume and tell these people in these industries about what I can do for them as an intern.
Reply:
You write the truth – your current and past job experiences. There is a wealth of information in our library on resume writing.
Closing Comments:
Thank you Joanne for all your help as I look to continue in the CCNA classes. Please let me know your thoughts.
Reply:
You are on the right track, James. That CCNA certification is the first step!

Request Timed Out and Destination Host Unreachable
There is some confusion over the difference between the, "Request Timed Out" message response and the, "Destination Host Unreachable" message response.
"Request timed out" The browser reached the server where the web site is, made repeated requests for data but was ignored. Browsers set a time limit so when they reach a server that does not respond they will not get stuck forever. After a while they give up.
On the other hand, a "Destination Host Unreachable" message response indicates that the browser could not reach the server, such as when there is a problem with the DNS service. The server can't be found or there is a problem with the name to IP address translation.

NetLabs is Coming Your Way For Fall . . .
We are planning to implement Phase I of NetLabs this fall as many of you are aware. NETLAB Academy Edition® provides remote access to Cisco Networking Academy Program lab equipment and curriculum. Phase I will include three (or maybe four) multi-purpose academy pods used for ROUTE, TSHOOT”, CCNA Security, Wireless and Voice classes; and three Cuatro Switch Pods used for SWITCH and TSHOOT.
Today, Justin, Bill, and Gene took an inventory of old routers that had been stored in a lab cabinet – unusable. They checked each router, verifying memory and flash, replacing and adding memory and swapping out power supplies, etc. as needed to put as many of the routers back in service as possible. As a result of their ingenuity today, in addition to around ten 2600 routers, they have upgraded four 2651XM’s that we will use in the multi-purpose pods. We will substitute these routers for the 2811’s in the original plan (since we will only be using them between the two 2811’s, to pass traffic.
I will be keeping you posted on the progress of this project. Way to go Guys!

Consulting Small Business Opportunity
Hi Joanne,
I did get the job offer I’ve been expecting. So I will be changing jobs in a week or so. That leaves my current job up for grabs, and since it’s an I.T. kind of thing, perhaps some of your students might wish to apply? Some experience is necessary, but the job could be tailored to fit the right person. A mature, independent worker is essential as there is little supervision. Here, off the top of my head, are some duties:
Full time (could be part time) position consulting small businesses on everything I.T. in the Western suburbs
Good skills to bring (nobody has all of this, and great depth is not necessary):
• The ability to relate to clients who know nothing about computers and like it that way.
o Fix it if it’s broke
o Avoid disruptions if it is not broke – practice preventive maintenance
o Justify how expensive you are & get commitment before beginning work
o Travel (local) to clients as needed, remote access is fine too
• Quickly grasp the picture even though nothing is correctly documented
o Customer’s goal is always to stay in business
o These computers are necessary evils
o Nothing changed, but now it doesn’t work anymore
• Understanding of small business hardware & software
o Networks, generally under 25 – 30 hosts, DSL or T1
Wired and wireless
Routers, switches, hubs, WAPs, NAS, handheld devices
Cabling (we sub out the big jobs)
Remote access for clients and you
• VPN: hardware or software
• Terminal Server / RWS
Basic security
Sharing printers and whatever else they want to share
Diagnose issues and fix ‘em
o Client Servers, almost all Windows based, mostly SBS, some P2P
Exchange
AD
Enterprise backup & AV software
IIS - maintain web sites
WSUS
Sharing files / printers / whatever
o ISP Servers, almost all UNIX / LINUX
CPanel environment
Hosted email
Spam filter configuration
Apache – maintain web sites
o Desktops
Install, setup, teach, move, repair, repair, repair…
Laptops, ditto
Install software
Database repair
Map drives, printers, make icons
Uninstall malware
Recover systems
AV & BU
o Miscellaneous
Some telephone systems understanding is good
• VOIP / POTS
• Cabling requirements
Basic mechanical skills
• Assemble hardware
• Hand tools (yours, not theirs)
A little respect for building and fire codes
Understand basic business processes
Recommend hardware & software, procure quotes
Interface with vendors / contractors
Warranty support
o Software
Pretty much any OS, but Windows in most depth
MS Office, Outlook, Outlook express
Accounting and general software
• QuickBooks
• Peachtree
• MAS 90 / 200
• ACT! Or other CRM
• TimeSlips
• POS systems
• Bar coding
Assorted software
• HTML / CSS / JAVA
• Photoshop
• LabView
• CAD
Again, just a general idea…
I can collect resumes and answer questions.
Thanks much, and see you next week!

Green Fuels Depot Summer Opportunity
Over the past couple of years COD has been working with Packer Engineering in Naperville, the City of Naperville and Argonne National Laboratory on a project called the Green Fuels Depot. The aim of the project is to demonstrate the conversion of yard waste into useful energy in various forms. The project has recently received funding from the Department of Energy to build a pilot plant in Naperville to demonstrate feasibility. We have the funds to support two student workers over the summer semester to work on the Green Fuels Depot. While no specific qualifications are necessary, and indeed the exact nature of the work to be carried out is still somewhat ill-defined, it is preferred that the students are pursuing some kind of career in a STEM field. Please advise your students of this opportunity and have them contact me as soon as possible.

CCNA Security and SDM
Hi All
Many of you who are gearing up for the CCNA Security Certification exam (640-553)are asking if SDM is going to continue to be the primary GUI interface for the test questions and if the actual certification is also geared toward SDM?
The CCNA Security Certification (640-553) still utilizes SDM within the exam. Therefore students should still be exposed to SDM. However, SDM features have been incorporated into a new application called Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP) and Cisco is in the process of developing supplemental labs and resources that leverage CCP.

IPv6, here we come, ready or not!
According to an article in Hoffington Post today, the last blocks of IP addresses are being distributed this Thursday.
According to the Hoffington Post, "The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, the top-level administrator of the system, has called a press conference in Miami on Thursday. One person said its last five "blocks" of Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses will be distributed then. These blocks, each with 16.8 million addresses, will be distributed to the regional registries. That means the regional groups will have IP addresses to distribute further to Internet service providers, websites and others before running out. Curran expects to deplete his allotment in six to nine months."
Check out the article in Hoffington Post.

Debug IP RIP - suppressing null update
Several of my CIT1122 students wanted to know, when they issued the command, "debug ip rip", what it meant when they saw, "suppressing null update" in the output when RIP was building the route entries to broadcast out to a neighbor.
This is normal behavior with rip when there is no need to include a particular route - either the route is connected and shared between the two routers and there is no need to advertise; the route(s) are learned already from that interface with a better metric than what you have to send; or it could be due to the split horizon rule - specific routes in the routing table are being suppressed because they were learned by that same interface (therefore split horizon says don't send them back out the that same interface).
Hope that helps - Joanne
