Couple of IT interview questions..

As previously mentioned. paradgidm and Headrat are only responding to belittlement of our industry. I don't even specialise in networks!

The digging/questions were purely to demonstrate to the OP that he actually knew very little. Default routes and VLSMs are taught as essential basics in the lowest Cisco qualifications.

I won't even bother asking paradigm or chiefrat the answer to my now slighty wasted question. :p

What you should have distinguished between is larger enterprise networks using a variety of Cisco hardware/software and smaller office, Windows based, networks using standard routers, hubs or switches and software firewalls.

It applies to any network - including any home user connecting through a nat router.

Hell, it even applies to a single PC dialling up through a modem!

I'm deeply deeply upset no-one even lol'd at this image. If [TW]Fox had a cat it would look that miserable, and it took me a WHOLE 3 minutes to produce.

bah

First thing you check is that the cabling is properly connected from router to the wall(terminology check).

Second check your password and username are correct.

You should also have some software from the routers manufactures that run you through the setup. (am assuming this has all been done)

Thirdly see if the ISP is assiging you an IP address if it isnt i would likely say the problem is at the ISP end.

If it is then you want to check that your firewall is not blocking the conection.

That has to be the funniest post you have made so far. I know you are not trying to be funny and you can get a job in IT and work you way p but seriously please stop putting your foot in your mouth.

Didn't you think to at least look at the routing table? What does your username and password have to do with this?

Go for a helpdesk job not a routing job that demands experience at the very least.

So you've read a few things on the web and now you think you understand them, I've just read a couple of interesting articles on brain surgery doesn't make me a brain surgeon does it!

Here's a very easy test question for you, you have server on a subnet behind a router, the server is able to ping the router but not able to ping anything on the internet. The server is able to ping other machines in the subnet and visa versa. Even thought the ACL's are open nothing from the internet can connect to the server even though the webserver is running.

Q. What would be the first thing you would check?

check if the internet is turned on?

mm not sure what to think of this thread but for sure some are up their own arse.

What do you expect when there are quite a few network professionals on here and someone comes long pretending to know all about Enterprise level kit and failing badly.

Sure some of the comments are blunt but better than letting him think he actually knows something. My primary field isn't networking yet I have to know at least the basics (I know a little more ;) ) and I don't pretend to know how to do some of the more serious stuff.

He could get a job in IT and work his way up if he adopted a little humility and there in lies his problem and why he got such a harsh response. He assumed he knew far more than he does.
 
rz30, getting a helpdesk job is well within your reach, from the knowledge perspective. Any employer who saw your attitude would disqualify you from their selection process. If you already got the job, then tjat attitude would be a big bright signal that your career progression has ended with that particular employer.

Knowing how to make toast is not the same as being a three michelin star chef. Thinking that it is easy to become such because it only took you 5 minutes to learn how to make toast makes you look ignorant or worse, stupid.

Lose the attitude, realise that there is always more that to learn and someone might employ and even promote you.

And you want to connect your hosts to the storage on the fibre channel SAN using?

;)
Click to expand...

My hosts all have a Fibre Channel HBA.

In fact, most of them have 4 dual port HBAs. But that's because we test a SAN product, and each host acts as 4 virtual hosts.

An exchange server for example, could get it's storage via Fibre channel, but the users are still going to connect to it by Ethernet.
