dmarc extension is needed.

Demarc is where the wires enter the building, typically where they stop being the ISP's problem and start being yours.

A laptop is also needed

A laptop is a small computer with a folding screen which operates off of a battery. Think of a tablet, but more powerful and with its own keyboard.

with [b]terminal emulation software (Terra Term, Putty, etc.),

cisco console cable

Cisco console cable is serial on one end, RJ-45 on the other. You're going to need to know cisco ios, if you don't you're p fucked. I have no idea where to buy one, I usually get one when I order a Cisco device.

a USB to serial port adapter.

This you can get at staples

jk about all the bolding, but i am a little confused what a dmarc extension is

Moving network equipment to another wiring closet. I hope you know how to punch down and terminate CAT5 because you're probably going to be doing a bunch of that.

I can order cisco cable on amazon but it wouldnt get here for a while

maybe marks can share files with you on a p2p? i mean if he's really your bro and shit...

If the routers are already set up you can probably just plug into one of the LAN ports, grab a DHCP address, ssh/telnet in, and start scratching your head at the commands. Hopefully they have a web interface and/or the SSH service is enabled. I haven't done ios in a while but I can give you a couple of pointers.

'show run' shows the running config. It reads like a script, just a list of text commands, though some are grouped. typically you can just type in something from the config into another router.

'no' (command) removes one of the configurations. for example if ip proxy-arp is enabled then 'no ip proxy-arp' will remove it

I'm assuming you're just going to be changing ip addresses, so assuming the wan connection is on gigabitethernet0

terminal length 0
(removes linefeeds)
sh run
(displays the entire running config. copy/paste this into a text file so you can put it back the way it was when you break something)
config t
(puts you in configuration mode)
interface ge0
(puts you in the section for the interface you want to work on)
no ip-address
(removes the old IP)
ip-address x.x.x.x
(inserts the new IP)
exit
(takes you out of the interafce section and back to the main config)
exit
(takes you out of config mode)
wr mem
(writes the running config to the startup config, otherwise your changes will be lost on reboot)
reload in 0
(reboots the router)

you're going to want to change the mask and gateway too but I don't remember the commands, look them up in the current running-config and substitute your new values

here's a p good cisco emulator btw it can run the actual router's firmware

do you think i can learn this stuff well enough in 3 days to perform the task marks

[maks]

not a fucking chance. but if you show up and try they'll still have to pay you for a few hours.

okay so should I turn the job down

they said it was okay if I turned the jobs down

[maks]

is a few hours at the rate they're offering worth burning your bridges with this agency?

I'd like to have actual steady work with them

[maks]

I mean if you fuck it up you shouldn't feel bad, they knew they needed a CCNA and they decided to hire an MCP fresh out of tech school because it was cheaper, it's their own fault

I'm an independent contractor, I just dont want to do bad work and leave being all "I dont know how to get this working seeya"

[maks]

I'm sure you can get it working but if you need to do it with ios commands and you've never touched ios before then it's going to take you a week or more and if they're expecting it done in an afternoon then well you know

[maks]

install gn3, and make a fake network with a cisco in it, and see if you can get the cisco working, if so then you're in good shape

hit me up on steam marks

yeah, teh site i would be doing it at is like 4 hours away too

this is not a job for someone who's never used putty

Is this something I need to worry about for this task marks?

was it this

10/10 awesome jon, tyy sir

you will be fine. congrats. going in, no one feels they have mastery of their first job. you'll see that it's bullshit and be able to do it well. your teaching position was probably harder.

camoron, you've never used telnet or ssh or rlogin? well if you haven't then you will learn quickly. if you've done anything at the command line, you can pick this shit up.

lisa had a verey hard teaching position once

if you're required to use the serial cable and run into problems using it then yes

[juji]

I have no experience about networking, I'm ended up about programming and software.

thanks m0nde, if u really think i can do it, i might give it a try. i have used ssl and telnet and stuff, i am just worried i will have no idea what im doing. i emailed the owner and basically said hey, i wanna give this my best shot, whats it like if i need help, or if i cant finish a job, etc.

also emailed the dispatcher asking for more info

honestly someone else sent me that and i didnt really look at it too in depth because it was on my phone, i dont know why he sent me that upon further inspection, seems like soemthing that is pretty situational

you WILL have no idea wtf you're doing
at first. i bet you felt like that at the teaching job but if you are like any techy guy you can google shit or use references or get shit out of more experienced guys. none of this shit is hard it's about attitude
