I have a problem with a real-life situation it goes this way : The ip address of our client network that is using PVC 266 is 202.161.137.0/25. As I told you earlier when I disable the network from client end,there are still packets in the serial about 75000 both i/p and o/p rate. When no hosts are connected in the network and only 2 Serials are connected the input rate should be 0 right. But it is not so in our case. Moreover we have given rate-limit but are not able to restrict the uplink of our client. Our client link is of 128/384 for PVC 266. Could you help us out and sort out our problem. What might be the cause. The PVC links are PVC 266 is of 128/384 PVC 277 is of 266/1024 I have also attatched router configuraton for your review I am suspecting the prefix list only control out-bound but not in-bound let me know your little input : here is the router configuration version 12.0 service timestamps debug uptime service timestamps log uptime service password-encryption service internal ! ! ! ! ! ! ip subnet-zero ip wccp version 1 ip tcp window-size 32000 ip name-server 202.161.131.228 ip name-server 202.161.131.243 ! cns event-service server ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! interface Loopback0 ip address 202.161.158.137 255.255.255.252 no ip directed-broadcast ! interface Ethernet0/0 ip address 202.161.131.241 255.255.255.240 no ip directed-broadcast no ip mroute-cache ! interface Serial1/0 description Cyberstar no ip address no ip directed-broadcast encapsulation frame-relay IETF fair-queue 64 32 0 frame-relay lmi-type ansi ! interface Serial1/0.266 multipoint ip address 202.161.128.90 255.255.255.252 no ip directed-broadcast frame-relay map ip 202.161.128.89 266 frame-relay interface-dlci 267 ! interface Serial1/0.276 multipoint ip address 202.161.128.34 255.255.255.252 no ip directed-broadcast ip wccp web-cache redirect out frame-relay map ip 202.161.128.33 276 frame-relay interface-dlci 277 ! interface Serial1/2 description "Leased line to Client" ip address 202.161.158.233 255.255.255.252 no ip directed-broadcast rate-limit input 128000 16000 32000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop no keepalive ! router bgp 64545 network 202.161.131.224 mask 255.255.255.224 network 202.161.137.0 network 202.161.158.0 network 202.161.159.0 neighbor 202.161.128.33 remote-as 11919 neighbor 202.161.128.33 soft-reconfiguration inbound neighbor 202.161.128.33 prefix-list 1 out neighbor 202.161.128.89 remote-as 11919 neighbor 202.161.128.89 soft-reconfiguration inbound neighbor 202.161.128.89 prefix-list 2 out ! ip classless ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 202.161.128.33 ip route 202.161.131.224 255.255.255.224 Ethernet0/0 ip route 202.161.131.224 255.255.255.224 Null0 ip route 202.161.131.224 255.255.255.240 202.161.131.244 ip route 202.161.131.240 255.255.255.240 Ethernet0/0 ip route 202.161.137.0 255.255.255.0 202.161.158.234 (Serial of client) ! ip prefix-list 1 seq 5 permit 202.161.131.224/27 ip prefix-list 1 seq 10 permit 202.161.158.0/23 le 24 ! ip prefix-list 2 seq 5 permit 202.161.137.0/24 ! snmp-server engineID local 00000009020000D058F83860 snmp-server community public RO snmp-server enable traps casa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
