So, I just built this in Cisco Packet Tracer.
 


It works, too.

Do you do networking as an actual job, or side hobby?

Yeah, exactly.

I have a lot of beautiful pictures. Depends what your in the mood for, I'm always open to share.

I'm a networking major, so it's going to be my job. Honestly, cabling and configuring a router is more fun than I thought it would be. The Packet Tracer work you see there is actually based off of this:

 

 

 

 

(Not pictured: most of router 0 and the hosts connected to it. Also, that phone isn't my phone, it was my partner's.)

 

and this:

 

 

 

 

The router there with just the console and serial ports plugged in is serving as the functional equivalent to an ISP for the project, as in it controls the connectivity of routers 0 and 1 (I was assigned Router 0 1, it's the one beneath the ISP router) like how an ISP controls your Internet connection. Setting it all up and pinging from router to router and host to host was honestly one of the most rewarding things I've ever felt all year.

I agree. I have a lot of ponies on my computer, but I think the one certain pony that takes most space up is Fluttershy. There's way too man

y cute photos of her.

Well, I'm glad everything is going your way. Having a major in Cisco is great. I heard it's quite a difficult job, from the my friend. He wants to go for a cert, except he's too nervous to take the test. He's studying from left to right for a different cert. I wish he'd just keep to one, and get one cert first before studying in a other, but he says it's a easier cert. Hopefully, he gets his shit together and goes from there to get a job. That's what he really wants. And getting a major in networking? That's a great accomplishment! Bravo!

I personally like this. I guess I'm a sucker for weird stuff on the internet~

There's honestly way too many. I'd be stuck in this thread forever for pony. Although, I'm already bound to cute/funny picture threads in the forum lounge already. XD

I think if someone wanted me to do something like that, I'd be like a baby shoving a brick into their mouth

Glad it's fun for you, and good luck for your future :3

 

It's really weird when I look at other things like that... I start thinking "How can anyone find that fun?", but then I realise that other people probably think the same about me with video editing.

@@Fox,  Well, I'm currently a fourth-quarter student at New England Tech, so I'm still studying. What I can say is I've come a long way from Cisco I, which was last quarter. For example, in Cisco I, on my first quiz I got a 67% grade on the first quiz. Cisco II? 89% on the first quiz. Remember, I only had Cisco I one quarter ago.

 

I swear that choosing to major in networking really changed my perspective on how the Internet works. Never for a second would I thought that a router is configured over CLI, or that a router has its own CPU, RAM and storage, or how the OSI and TCP/IP networking models work.

Who woulda figured that plugging in cables to interfaces on a router (or switch), then typing into a command line commands to make those interfaces work and make your hosts able to communicate with each other would be fun.

Simply put. Knowledge is power. I would love to learn about those things, but I don't think I'd have the patience to learn all of it. To me, it seems a bit boring from one side of it, but very interesting on the other side. It's really just getting over the super technical stuff probably that is seizing my interest in learning more about it. Although, I do hear more about it from my friend who is studying Cisco. Best of luck btw. You're close. : )
