Day 5 - Class Day 2

By my second day in West Virginia, I had already fallen into the groove. The morning drive from Stonewall to Buckhannon takes about a half hour, and when the weather is nice it is a great drive. I have learned that West Virginia weather rivals Texas weather for uniqueness. In Texas, we say that if you don't like the weather, wait an hour and I think West Virginia is the same way. So far it has been cold (it snowed heavily last week), rained, been sunny and warm and that was just this morning!

Today in class we started routing, my favorite module in the series, dynamic routing firewalls and began looking at QOS. Everyone in class is a quick study so we are moving rapidly through the materials. Tomorrow we should finish in time to take the certification exam and then Friday it's over to the other side of town for a meeting with MicroLogic.

RouterOS Tip: If you only visit the command line on occasion, possibly you don't know how to edit properties of different facilities that contain more than a word or two. For example, a script can be very long and without Winbox, it might be very difficult to create or edit a script without a command called edit. Edit will prompt you for the value you want to change and then open a very basic word processor type window in which you can work on the test of the particular command. Give edit a try!

Example:

[admin@MTRoadShowRouter] /interface wireless> edit 1
value-name: ssid
