With the new version 5 blueprint there are a lot of version 4 students who are trying to work out what has changed, what is new and what has gone. For new students to Version 5 it is probably just as confusing. One of the changes is the jump to 15 code and the use of virtual switches in the lab. This certainly left me with a few questions, if there are no physical switches in the lab then what should you be focussing your studies on? For version 4 I previously just read through the 3560 switch configuration guide. This pretty much is the same for version 5. To master all the switching topics just read through the 15.0SE documentation from the 3750X and 3560X.

Is is possible to simulate a Cisco 3750 switch of do I need to work with the default ethernet switch provided by GNS3? Cisco IOS Software delivers a seamless integration of technology innovation, business-critical services, and hardware platform support.

In this Tutorial for 3ds Max i will show you how to render a exterior scene using Vray as a rendering Engine, This is a step by step tutorial on how to use Vray lights and how to optimize Vray. Open the scene. Assign V-Ray as the current renderer. We'll make a few quick adjustments to the render settings to make a fast initial preview of the first render. Check the Override mtl option in the Global switches rollout, click the button next to it, and select a default VRayMtl material. Its a basic lighting. Render - V-Ray Lights in 3ds Max vray exterior lighting tutorial 3ds max| Rendering| Night lighting tutorial in vray using 3ds max in this tutorial I have explain about. Optimize render speed in V-Ray. Vray 3.0| 3DsMax2013| Wouter Wynen. Learn all the tricks to optimize render speed in V-Ray. We will cover all the theory and apply it to a testscene. We'll also cover a step by step workflow to optimize your scene in the best possible way. Step 1: open 3ds max 9 or any later version. First i am going to make the road for Street Scene. Now make a plane in top view with these dimensions: Length: 84.675 and Width: 327.792. Step 2: right click on the line and then convert it to Editable Poly.

The virtual switches used in the lab are an equivalent compile of this code. You can find the here. I am planning on reading through this again to pick up on any new features.

Its only 1552 pages! There is more info on the changes here CCIE R&S 4 to 5 updates The part relevant to this post is: Candidates who want to prepare using hardware based labs can use the following equipment and Cisco IOS Software Releases • Cisco ISR 2900 Series routers running IOS version 15.3T (I am using the CSR 1000v routers) • Catalyst 3560X Series switches running IOS version 15.0SE Personally I am running 4 x 3560 switches running the latest 12 code, this will allow me to lab the majority of topics, for anything relevant to 15 code I will just rent some rack time.

Cisco IOS GNS3 – Srijit’s Blog All the IOS, IOU, Nexus and other images has been updated, checked and verified with latest GNS3 & GSN3 VM. Download here – Feel free to download them and use them for your Cisco certifications studies. Old ones are kept intact for your reference- • 1700 – • 2600 – • 2691 – • 3640 – • 3660 – • 3725 – • 3745 – • 7200 (v15) – • 7200p (v15) – Mirror Links: 1. If you face any problem setting it up with GNS3 drop me a message and I will get back to you asap. GNS3 is an open source (GNU GPL) software that simulates complex networks while being as close as possible from the way real networks perform, all of this without having dedicated network hardware such as routers and switches. GNS3 provides an intuitive graphical user interface to design and configure virtual networks, it runs on traditional PC hardware and may be used on multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

In order to provide complete and accurate simulations, GNS3 actually uses the following emulators to run the very same operating systems as in real networks: • Dynamips, the well known Cisco IOS emulator. • VirtualBox, runs desktop and server operating systems as well as Juniper JunOS. • QEMU, a generic open source machine emulator, it runs Cisco ASA, PIX and IPS.

GNS3 is an excellent alternative or complementary tool to real labs for network engineers, administrators and people studying for certifications such as Cisco CCNA, CCNP andCCIE as well as Juniper JNCIA, JNCIS and JNCIE. Enjoyed this post?
