#130: CML For FREE! (VIRL 2)
You can now access Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) for free! Thanks to Cisco DevNet, you use a cloud based version of CML for free. All you need is your web browser (you will need to install Cisco AnyConnect VPN client to access the labs remotely).
This is Part 6 of my CML (VIRL 2) series showing you how to download, install and configure Cisco VIRL 2 (CML-P). The new version of Cisco VIRL allows you to create virtual Cisco networks using just your Web browser. You don't have to use a thick client or any other software - everything is included and everything is easy to use.
The new version of Cisco VIRL 2 is one of your best options for CCNA, CCNP and CCIE Labs. VIRL 2 has multiple advantages over other platforms such as GNS3 or EVE-NG. VIRL 2 supports an HTML5 web client and contains all the Cisco IOS images. You don't have to use a thick client like you do with GNS3. You don't have to follow a convoluted process to get Cisco images working like you do with EVE-NG.
You don't have to try to find images as they are all included as part of your VIRL subscription and by simply mapping an ISO drive to your virtual machine you can immediately start using all Cisco IOS images in your topologies. Both EVE-NG and GNS3 require that you provide your own IOS images - typically they recommend that you buy a VIRL subscription anyway. That means that you are already paying for VIRL.
VIRL2 is also an official Cisco product - that means that you don't have to worry about any gray legal issues with regards to running Cisco IOS images on your laptop. This is an official Cisco product that is supported by Cisco. By paying your yearly subscription fee of $199, you can use Cisco IOS images such as IOSv, IOSvL2, ASAv, NX-OSv and others without any worries. VIRL 2 has everything you need to get started.
Disadvantages include the requirement to license your installation. That however has been simplified dramatically from previous releases. There is also a 20 node limited in topologies. However, for most of us that is fine for a lot of labs.
Is VIRL better than GNS3 or EVE-NG? In many ways it is. But, all platforms have advantages and disadvantages. If you are studying for your ccie, you many prefer gns3 or eve-ng as they don't limit the number of devices in a topology like virl does. VIRL-PE limits you to 20 devices - so your topologies cannot be massive like they could with gns3 or eve ng. However, if you are studying for your ccna or ccnp, VIRL may be more than enough.
Cisco have made massive changes to their certification programs and it is fantastic to see the new version of VIRL in action.

#129: All I Need Is 443 CML - P (VIRL 2)
The only port you need to open on a CML-P (VIRL 2) server is 443. You can telnet to devices using an encrypted, authenticated tunnel using the local breakout tool that comes with CML-P. No need to open lots of port numbers on your firewall. Just open TLS (Port 443) and you can connect remotely to the server. Very nice feature! I like this.

#127: VIRL 2 Terminal Server SSH, Multiple Tabs, Scripts And More
VIRL 2 has a built-in multiplexing terminal server that allows you to SSH directly to devices running in VIRL. You can either SSH to the terminal server and then use commands to access devices, or you can SSH directly to the individual devices. The advantage of this is that you can use applications such SecureCRT, Royal TSX or SolarPutty that support multiple tabs to easily access individual devices running with in VIRL.
This is Part 4 of my VIRL series showing you how to download, install and configure Cisco VIRL 2.

#123: My CCNA 200-301 exam experience: Tips & Tricks
You can get my updated CCNA 200-301 course for $9.99 here (but this price expires in a few days): http://bit.ly/ccna9udemy - this is all you need as it includes labs. I passed the new Cisco CCNA 200-301 exam! Here are my first thoughts and feedback about the exam. Some good, but some surprises in the ccna exam! However, this experience will help make my CCNA training even better. Good thing I decided to take the exam and see what's on it. I think you will also be happy I did this.
It's the new ccna exam, with lots of updates including wireless technologies, devnet and other technologies to help you launch your career in networking. Once you get your ccna, you are on your path to ccnp and ccie!
Video is about my ccna 200 301 exam experience: tips & tricks
====================
Additional Q&A plus tips:
====================
Question: How many questions in the exam? Answer: Over 100. You get about 1 minute per question, so use your time wisely.
Tip: Write down your subnetting tables or any other important information before you click start. You will have time to do things before you actually start the exam.
Tip: Arrive at least 15 minutes early at the test centre.
Tip: Don't stress if you cannot answer one question. Just do your best. You have over 100 questions in the exam.

#122: Troubleshooting Kali Linux Installation Issues
Having trouble installing Kali Linux? Passwords don't work? VT-x or AMD-v issues? Root not working? Well, in this video I show you step by step how to resolve those issues. I'll show you what the new default password is for Kali Linux 2020. I'll show you how to resolve issues with apt-get and apt update and apt install. How to use su to become root. How to fix issues when using Kali Linux with VirtualBox and VMware Workstation Player. Don't let Intel Virtualization issues (VT-x) or AMD-v virtualization issues stop you using Kali Linux - change your setting in the BIOS of your laptop or computer. These types of issues can be overcome and you can start learning Ethical hacking with Kali Linux.
It's so easy to hack badly configured networks using Kali Linux! Make sure you have configured your networks securely! Otherwise, look at how simple it is to hack networks using Kali Linux running on a Windows 10 computer. Applications like Yersinia make hacking with Kali Linux super easy! It's important that you as a network professional know how to protect networks from hackers. Even the new Cisco CCNA 200-301 exam covers some of these hacking topics. Don't just learn the theory of hacking, learn how to hack practically.
In this Ethical Hacking with Kali Linux playlist, I'm going to show you step by step how to hack and protect networks. This is white-hat hacking, not black-hat - in other words this is about teaching you Ethical hacking to help you better secure your networks!
