Recently a good question was posted on Groupstudy asking why a router needs to know that an IPv6 address is an anycast address. I often wondered this myself and it turns out, the router does not perform Duplicate Address Detection as it does for normal unicast addresses. A small lab scenario will suffice to give use the results!

As the name suggests, this feature allows routes with a specific tag to be installed in the RIB faster than other prefixes.  By default, the highest priority prefixes are ones with /32 masks. As we will see here, we can tag routes to give them a higher priority than /32 prefixes.

A few weeks ago on the 3^rd of September it was exactly 1 year ago I received my digits. In this article I would like to tell you how the last year was and how the CCIE changed my life completely!

I took the exam in San Jose, CA. Mainly because I was in the US a couple weeks for studying and vacation. During my studies there I felt really good about my level and really had the feeling I was in ‘the zone’. It was in the time that you could still reschedule your exam 30 days before instead of the current 90 days.  With that 30 day limit I was just within reach of rescheduling my exam to about 5 days after I finished the bootcamp I did.

I took a couple days off and did some really touristic stuff and really had a good time in San Francisco. After a good day in the Cisco Building C in San Jose I went home with a very neutral feeling. At 11.30pm I got the e-mail. YES I passed, #21946.
