You might look at your local community college's offerings. Probably better bang for the buck than many other offerings. On Sun, Nov 2, 2014 at 10:02 AM, Colton Conor wrote: > We have a couple of techs that want to learn cisco and networking in > general. What do you recommend for learning and

Depends on how quickly you want them trained, and how they tend to learn thingsŠ Reading is good, but can be boring and tedious and not always have all the answers. Standard ILT can be costly, but very quick and often standard (though I¹d shop around for who you have as an instructor since that ca

You can look at tools like NS2/NS3 or OMNet++, but these are not going to do what you want out of the box, they are a framework for network simulation but you'll have to program them to do what you want, they are more used in academic settings. If you want a nice interface you are kind of stuck ri

I am aware that you can see if a port is up or down through SNMP. I guess that was a bad example. I want to see the entire output of a show interface command. For example, we have multiple types of access networks (GPON, DSL, Cisco ethernet switches). Some of the show interface commands are fairly

Tail-F's ConfD can operate as a front-end CLI and do the things he wants it to do in an operational sense but I would agree it may not be the easiest to use tool for simply monitoring and grabbing interface state/statistics. It's fairly flexible and can do a lot of abstracted things through its C

Depends on how the techs in question learn best, but I've found that a good CCNA book (like the Lammle one) combined with either a network simulator (I like Boson, but packet tracer and GNS3 are both good too) or, better yet, physical hardware they can play with. Alternatively, if you have a local
