Last week I was tuned into the CISCO seminar which was hosted by Carlos Dominguez, and my opinion on the seminar was that it changed my views on what i would become in the future. Carlos Dominguez presents his seminar with many interesting things. Most of which, he talked about his personal life, personal experiences in networking, and how he became the person that he is today. My experiences as a CISCO student so far, makes me think about how i can improve on my ability to work with others, myself, and for other people. It may sound quite simple at first, but Carlos Dominguez's experiences say otherwise.
Who is Carlos Dominguez you ask? Carlos Dominguez is the Vice President of CISCO and he has many years of experience in the networking field. Carlos Dominguez tells us of how technology innovates culture, and has the ability to create successful companies. For example, lets say you just created an expensive restaurant, but isn't special or unique than the restaurants you are competing against. Then you are going to have trouble generating profits from consumers and having more demands from your customers (If you even have any). With the latest 21st century technology, networking can help innovate your restaurant even further with unique ideas to help bring culture to your business and happiness to your consumers. The internet has the ability to not only attract customers to you, but bring the restaurant to your customers by designing your very own website and having to put your own ideas to the world.
Carlos Dominguez also expresses how to become a change agent and what the significance of a change agent can provide to influence other colleagues to the companies advantage. How do you define what a change agent is? A change agent is an individual who can mentally, physically, and triumphantly solve goals that were forced on them themselves. Change agents go farther than their comfort zone because they know they can make the change they want, and they know it has to be done to reach any goal they could accomplish. Change agents also, make changes not only for their jobs to become more easy, but for their lives to be more motivating and awe-inspiring. They help influence their social peers to become more productive, and they make everyone's job more co-operative so that they may get to their milestones as a team. Change agents also have good abilities to lead, an easy way of describing a change agent would be a revolutionary.
I agree with Carlos Dominguez on his views of what a change agent would be. It is in my honesty that change agents are the stepping stones of success and how successfully companies become astonishing with their business. They know how to work as a team, they know what their responsibilities are, and they can successfully meet their goals through mental thinking. In my opinion, Dominguez describing what a change agent, inspired me the most to think about future goals i want to accomplish. If i start working on my "changing" skills, i should start by making the change myself and right now. Could it follow the footsteps of Carlos? I would think of Carlo's career to be out of my interests. I want to become something different than Carlos, but his career in networking isn't bad in my opinion. Although, networking wouldn't be my best major to focus with in the future, i have other plans to begin in college.
In conclusion, i agree with Carlos Dominguez, and Carlos inspired me tremendously on how to think about the future ahead of me. It is in my best ability, to withstand any obstacle in the future to reach my highest goals, and through becoming a revolutionary is the first step. I need to create more goals than what i already have to challenge myself at my best abilities. Like Carlos, planning a future isn't going to easy, it takes time and a lot of effort into becoming what i want to be. However, if i at least try to make the change for myself, i believe anything is possible.

Chapter Case Study #8
a) What's the name of this kind of interface?
- The name for this kind of interface is called cross-talk-interface
b)Explain why it can slow down the network traffic.
-The reason why it can slow down the traffic is because, the number of packets being sent at a time decreases the service of sending and receiving packets. The network was also using CAT-5 UTP which doesn't have shielded protection, which means it is subjected to external interfaces which may cause corruption with in the traffic.
c)Would the result of the test be any different if the networking cable was running next to a just installed small alarm clock instead of an A/C unit? Why?
-Yes, because an alarm clock doesn't use a lot of noise frequency and isn't being used for the majority of the time. The A/C however, is on for the most part and it uses a lot of power to generate sound frequencies, these sound frequencies are subjected to interrupt internal traffic within the CAT-5 UTP cable.

New Blog Gadet for E-mails
You can now follow my blog easier through the new gadget that blogger made. You can now follow my posts by simply putting your e-mail into the bar and hitting submit. Gadget is located on the right of my blog posts, directly on top of the polls. HAPPY BLOGGING!
Lab #5
For lab #5 you have to configure the routers interface, if you do not then you network cannot reach the eagle server (My Situation). To configure the routers you have to first setup the R2-Central router, which is the first router connected with the switch. You have to install an operating system for the Host PC and you need to install the terminal command prompt. After you install the operating system you go to the command prompt, and you type in the command INTERFACE, FastEthernet0/0 which then you add in the ip address given and turn the port on. My failure was the access the command prompt (A simple mistake which i hope i won't make in the future). My biggest failure of the lab which i now understand was to correctly read the instructions that are given to me CAREFULLY.
Lab #4
Lab #4 is basically lab #3 except you fully mastered the understandings of how to actually repair your network. You basically have to replace your "broken" devices (The Eagle_Server) with one that is configured correctly. When it says to replace it means to reconfigure and reboot the problem. That process is called troubleshooting, its something that 90% of the time you have to do when you first make a network. By troubleshooting the network, you will run simulation mode, which directly takes you step-by-step how the packet is traveling through the network. This helps you identify the problem accurately instead of actually taking the time to find the problem more physically. You repeat the simulation and also the trail & error process it takes to successfully send and receive a packet.
Lab #3 Reflection
Lab number three is basically to try and understand what went wrong with the network and to repair the problem in the network. You add in more numbers to the devices such as the gateway IP address and the DNS address which was the main problem of my network. I completely ignored the DNS server IP address, which is probably why the 2 routers didn't want to communicate with each other, it's imperative that you reach all of the requirements to components of the network if you want your server system to function correctly. Therefore, the problem was located in the transport layer which deals with TCP.
Lab #2 Reflection
In lab number 2 the main concepts were to determine if you configured the devices correctly so you can send a packet. The lab simply told you to diagnose the computer and to look at the scenarios when you send a packet to see if you successfully configured your network right. I configured all of the data that was given to me in the charts, after that i connected all of the devices together in the correct diagram. I turned on all of the ports, used the correct type of wire, and finally got all of the lights to go green.
Now was my part in lab #2 to send a packet from the Host computer to the Eagle_Server, without any type of technical difficulties. That's the main challenge and concept of the lab, to see if you know what you're doing instead of just randomly plugging in cables and typing random numbers. In this case, i did not complete the lab; therefore and i knew what the problem had to be. When i sent the packet over from the host to the eagle server, the packet successfully went through the from the host computer to the switch to the router. The packet did not however, travel to the second router. So right then i knew that the network was not working and i was just configuring with random numbers i did not comprehend with. Understanding what went wrong is the next lab.
