The Key Areas to Apply Cisco 200-125 Knowledge and Skills in Your Career

Cisco stands out when it comes to high-end routers and switches, training and certification. It has played a huge role in the networking field to a point that we cannot mention networking without talking about Cisco. Prepaway 200-125 is a certification exam that validates the IT professional prowess in designing, configuring, and troubleshooting routers and switches. Cisco 200-125 is also a qualifying exam for the award of CCNA R&S certification.

Cisco 200-125 Exam and CCNA R&S Credential

CCNA R&S credential is the most in-demand networking certification in the industry and that is not going to stop any time soon. For candidates to achieve CCNA R&S certification, there are two available options they can choose:

Option 1: CCNA Composite

Here, you will only be required to pass Cisco 200-125 exam. It tests your profound understanding of infrastructure services, networking concepts, etc. in general, Cisco 200-125 exam is made up of the following key topics:

LAN Switching Technologies

Routing Technologies

WAN Technologies

Network Fundamentals

Infrastructure Security

Infrastructure Services

Infrastructure Management

Option 2: ICND1 and ICND2

There are 2 available exams designed for the award of CCNA R&S credential. Both exams assess your knowledge in the routing and switching technologies.

100-105 ICND1 – this exam assesses your prowess in infrastructure services, routing technologies, and infrastructure maintenance.

200-105 ICND2 – the main focus of this exam is testing the candidate’s knowledge in iPv6 and iPv4 switching and routing technology.

It is very crucial to be aware that both the two exams will not be available from February 23, 2020. You should plan to do them before the final testing date catch up with you. Nevertheless, Cisco will also release a CCNA exam to substitute these two retiring exams.

If you have made up your mind to get CCNA R&S credential, then you have certainly chosen one option. I chose the first option and I have got CCNA R&S certification. Therefore, I will be sharing a lot concerning Cisco 200-125 exam which has the following structure:

Candidates register via Pearson VUE website

Time allotted for every candidate is 1 hour 30 minutes

It consists of 60-70 multiple choice questions

It is available in both Japanese and English

The exam is expected to retire from February 23, 2020

Cisco 200-125 exam covers various topics as previously outlined. Every topic is very important in your career because networking is all about implementing skills you have learned throughout the certification process. Today, I would like to share where I have specifically applied the skills I got during certification process in my career.

Installation and configuration

This is one of the major parts that I usually perform regularly because new hardware and software are always incorporated to ensure there is a high-availability of a network system in an organization. This skill is expatiated in the objectives and forms a huge part in 200-125 exam setting. As you perform installation and configuration in your company, you will also have a task of providing technical guidance to the people who are using the systems installed.

User accounts creation and management

As you prepare for Cisco 200-125 exam, you must develop a solid understanding of setting up user accounts, permissions, and passwords. In most cases, you will be required to set user accounts that access a section of the system which they get involved in. Let us take a case study; an account of the CEO of a company should not have the same privileges to the system as that of the Project Manager. The Project Manager is only responsible for handling various projects while the CEO is supposed to oversee the general progress in every department of the organization. Therefore, you must have profound knowledge to limit user accounts when it is necessary.

Training users

Before sitting for Cisco 200-125 exam, you always train to gain the required skills and knowledge. Training is not only meant to help you pass the exam but also to enable you acquire the skills to train others. In an organization, introduction of new technologies is often a tough task. You will have to train other employees on how to use new technology appropriately as it is going to be part of their daily career tasks.

Leading networking team

CCNA R&S credential is solid proof that you have an ability to lead. As a Cisco network engineer of any organization, you will be tasked with roles to implement and plan the future networking developments of an organization. In most cases, you will be leading a team of network technician to ensure that every milestone is delivered at the most appropriate time. With the knowledge gained in Cisco 200-125 training, you will surely offer the best leadership.

More sports feeds more cost-effectively: Globecast announces Globecast Managed Cloud Network

MUMBAI: Globecast, the global solutions provider for media, has announced the launch of Globecast Managed Cloud Network (Globecast MCN), responding to pressures across the sports broadcasting market for more content more of the time, to affiliates and viewers.

Liz McParland, Global Contribution Worldwide and Commercial Director of Contribution UK, said, “The sports broadcasting market is often at the forefront of innovation, given the level of competition for both viewers and sports rights, with the latter increasing in cost. Responding to multiple customer enquiries, Globecast has continued to grow its cloud platform services, the result being Globecast MCN. This allows affiliates to access more content from more sports, with the Globecast quality guarantee, at price points that reflect current market requirements.”

Taking a tennis tournament as the example, Globecast MCN allows multiple additional feeds to be fed into the cloud at the nearest POP, transported across the world in the cloud and then received at an affiliate’s nearest POP. This allows the affiliate to air the content – following matches they choose – without the additional cost of more fibre-delivered feeds and the risk of purely public internet. As competitions move from location to location, this also provides a very simple way to deliver content without the need for onsite installation, with the processing and management complexity handled in the cloud. We can also take care of last-mile connectivity too.

Globecast supplies an end-to-end solution, including management, signal monitoring – Globecast has multiple, dedicated 24×7 MCRs around the world with comprehensive monitoring capabilities – cloud routing, content security and transport layers. This can include the management of affiliates via a Globecast-provided 24/7 helpdesk. The Globecast MCN routing allows affiliates to request only the feed(s) they need to save bandwidth costs.

Globecast MCN sits alongside Globecast BN, the company’s fibre backbone solution, and Globecast XN, its public internet suite of services.

McParland said, “This is not only about supplying additional feeds, it can also be used for the delivery of primary feeds where fibre or satellite isn’t possible or is prohibitively expensive. At Globecast we work to the mantra of delivering content from anywhere to anywhere, partnering with our customers to fully understand their issues. Combined with our years of experience, we then create platforms that overcome these issues and create new opportunities. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. We have created fluid, flexible services that we can supply as required.”

HISTORY TV18 shines the spotlight on ancient Ujjain and its Lord, in ‘Mahakaleshwar- Legends of Shiva’

India: Ujjain – an ancient city in the heart of India-is a place where history and mythology converge. It was once the capital of a great kingdom that sought to unravel the mysteries of time and space. Today, its cultural and religious epicenter is the temple of Shiva’s most powerful manifestation – Mahakaleshwar, Lord of Time. The modern city – fifth largest in Madhya Pradesh – still has an elemental connection with its past. Along with legends and oral histories passed down generations, Ujjain or Ujjaini was known to be an important centre of scientific discourse and the measurement of time. It is said that the temple of Mahakaleshwar is situated at the point where the ancient Indian Prime Meridian and the Tropic of Cancer once intersected. In fact, Ujjain still has a functioning Jantar Mantar, one of four ancient Indian observatories and sundials, used for making astronomical calculations and measuring time. The city’s connection to the concept of time continues. The Hindu calendar era, Vikram Samvat is still in use. It is named after Vikramaditya – the legendary king of Ujjain. These and other fascinating facets of Ujjain, its presiding deity, the faith and festivity Shiva inspires, come together as a compelling story in ‘Mahakaleshwar- Legends of Shiva’ premiering Thursday, 5th September at 8pm on HISTORY TV18.

The site of Mahakaleshwar Temple is believed to be the most important of the twelve ‘Jyotirlingas’, where Shiva appeared as an endless column of light. Today, it draws lakhs of devotees from all over the country, especially during Mahashivaratri – the festival celebrating the union of Shiva and goddess ‘Parvati’. It’s a time for faith, fanfare and unfettered festive fervor. The documentary follows life in the city and the temple, leading up to the celebrations. With unprecedented access and scholarly insights, the documentary pulls back the layers, to uncover the hidden meanings, symbolism and significance of rituals, practices and beliefs. It provides an opportunity for viewers to experience colour, culture and tradition formed over millennia- a unique aspect of India’s heritage.

Like their city, the characters in the film also straddle tradition and modernity. Whether ascetic Aghori or cool millennial, they are at ease with life in modern times yet bound bybelief and devotion. Twenty-year-old Mansi is abiker and horse-riding enthusiast. She also regularly fasts for her beloved Shiva. Quirky costume collector, affectionately called “Muskurake”,is a school principal for whom Mahashivratri is the highlight of the year. For Ujjain’s award-winning Nagada Samrath, regular urban life is never at odds with his passion for creating Mahakaleshwar’s instrument of choice – the ‘Damru’. And for Aghori Baba Bam Bam Nath, devotion to Mahakaleshwar – the Lord of Time, transcends time itself.

Avinash Kaul, MD A+E Networks | TV18 and CEO Network18"At HISTORY TV18 we've always put forth best-in-class content that’s riveting, contemporary, and most of all relevant for our viewers. ‘Mahakaleshwar- Legends of Shiva’ is truly a one-of its kind documentary which celebrates the spirit of India with all its ancient wisdom and tradition coexisting beautifully with youth and modernity.”

Watch the premiere of ‘Mahakaleshwar- Legends of Shiva’ on 5th September, 8 PM only on HISTORY TV18.

This Teacher’s day Sony YAY! celebrates with their ongoing annual property, Heroes Behind the Heroes

MUMBAI: Real heroes don’t always wear capes; they also teach, mentor and help individuals realize their best potential. Dedicating countless hours to us with their knowledge and insight, it is teachers, who with their blood, sweat and love, become of one of the biggest superheroes in our lives. While we look up to a host of successful icons across various fields, it is their teachers who are instrumental in propelling them to success. This year, on the occasion of Teacher's Day, Sony YAY! celebrates these real heroes through a unique initiative Heroes Behind The Heroes.

India has always been a country that has placed its teachers on a pedestal. Taking forward the annual celebrations of Teachers Day, Sony YAY’s Heroes Behind the Heroes campaign recognizes and celebrates those mentors/gurus who have not only groomed world-class individuals across various fields, but also continue to encourage budding talent. Sony YAY! aims to strengthen the bond kids’ have for their teachers, mentors and guides.

Building on the unprecedented support for the last two years, which brought a host of teachers and students under one roof, the third edition of Heroes Behind the Heroes continues with the promise to recognize and felicitate the nation’s eminent mentors. The past editions of Heroes Behind The Heroes witnessed stalwarts such as Sania Mirza, Terence Lewis, Subhash Ghai, Kailash Satyarthi, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and many more being recognized for their efforts.

In the current edition, Sony YAY! acknowledged inspirational personalities such as:

Vivian Fernandes, better known as DIVINE, an Indian rapper who brought upon a new wave of rap and hip-hop right from the streets of Mumbai. A genre that was unheard of, DIVINE was the face behind redefining India's underground rap movement.In his bid to take the rap genre to greater heights and give rise to new superstars, DIVINE, through his label, Gully Gang Entertainment, now manages and unearths desi hip-hop talent by churning out content round the clock.

With more than a decade of experience in the Indian film industry, Remo D’Souza, is not only credited for his success today as a film director, but for his sheer passion for dance. The ace choreographer has taken his expertise forward through mentoring and training dancers at his esteemed Remo's Dance Institute.

Director Mahesh Bhatt, is well known for his distinctive work in Hindi cinema. The Indian film-maker is regarded highly not only in the Indian film fraternity but also globally. Having mentored and trained several successful Bollywood actors, he is credited for some of the finest work in the film industry.

The Heroes Behind the Heroes campaign also celebrated those gurus who have not just produced cricket icons that represent the country, but have also made grass-root cricket in Mumbai prosper immensely through their academies. Dinesh Lad, is a renowned name across cricketing circles. Dinesh is credited for nurturing and honing the talent of the country’s current Vice Captain, Rohit Sharma and his own son Siddesh Lad. Not only that, he has been mentoring and grooming talent at the Swami Vivekananda International School.

A product of the Mumbai grounds himself, Mr. Dilip Vengsarkar today presides over three academies in the city. The channel celebrated his contribution to not only Indian cricket but also coaching and mentoring famed cricketers, Ajit Agarkar and Ramesh Powar. Under his guidance, budding cricketers of today have honed their cricketing skills towards reaching their dream of representing India.

Not just cricket, Badminton too continues to win laurels for the country with its shuttlers dominating on the world stage. One of the most inspiring figures in producing the new badminton stars of tomorrow has been Mr. Pullela Gopichand. Mr. Gopichand has taken the likes of Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu under his wing and trained them to perfection. In addition to these two superstars, the 2009 Dronacharya Awardee grooms youngsters at the Gopichand Badminton Academy in Hyderabad. A badminton player himself, he has a watchful eye over India's badminton contingent as the National Coach.

The initiative also celebrated and felicitated heroes from other walks of life, one of them being Afroz Shah, the man behind the largest beach clean-cup drive in the city. In October 2015, this Mumbai-based lawyer spearheaded the drive that saw the 2.5-km long stretch at Versova beach being entirely transformed over three years ago. The Versova Beach clean-up every Sunday was one of the largest citizen initiatives that the world has witnessed. His efforts were even recognized by the United Nations, which awarded him with the Champions of the Earth award in 2016.

Another face for change that was recognized through the initiative was Ria Sharma, the founder of the NGO, Make Love Not Scars (MLNS). MLNS has since 2014 rehabilitated over sixty acid-attack survivors. Their campaign #EndAcidSale won a Gold Cannes Lion in film in 2016. Over the years, her NGO, which works to raise funds for acid attack survivors in India, has helped rehabilitate many survivors medically, legally, financially, psychologically, as well as educationally.

Adding a layer of fun to the heartfelt initiative with these heroes were Sony YAY!’s iconic duo of Honey and Bunny. The pair known for their light-hearted banter and teaching kids something or the other through their camaraderie, celebrated these heroes. It was an enjoyable experience for the icons as the feline duo visited them personally to felicitate them.

Through the campaign, the channel aims at celebrating and recognizing these iconic personalities who continue to chase excellence and produce new champions of tomorrow. Celebrating these gurus who have shaped today’s heroes, for their heartfelt and selfless contribution during their formative years, is what Heroes Behind the Heroes stands for!
