1)  linux is not UNIX, similiar but not the same, check it out before
speak it out.

2) Cisco IOS is Unix based since then.

3) I just hardly believe that, Unix can not be used GUI too.  Please
tell me what is x-windows, CDE.

4)Please check out the information before you post.

5)The technical knowledge of this jason guy make me laugh and tyring to
show off...

Support of ISL/802.1Q in ethernet interface [7:6867]

2001-06-02 Thread Frank Kim

Hi folks,
I know ISL/802.1q can only be implemented with FE or GigE.  Is there any
reason why ethernet interface isn't in the game?  I know 10mbps is slow
but it's a useful feature for folks with 10mbps swithces online and don't
have routers with FE interface.  I overheard somewhere that newer ios has
such feature for supporting isl/802.1q in 10mbps ethernet interface.  Can
anyone verify this?  Thanks for helping.

Re: It group study worth it or not!!!??? [7:6837]

2001-06-02 Thread Gareth Hinton

Hi all,

Fairly basic question I think, but as I've not had anything to do with
Newsgroups before this one, I don't know the answer:

I take it that if you subscribe, you send an e-mail which goes to everyone
who's subscribed, but if you don't subscribe, (ie. you just post to the
newsgroup) the only people that see your message are the ones that view the
newsgroup.

Is this the case, or have I got it wrong?


One more quick question. Has the formatting of the threads gone all to pot.
I've sent a couple of e-mails to Paul with a low priority asking if
something is wrong, as I have a couple of other news groups which are fine.
The problem seems to be that threads never seem to go deeper than one post,
threads get separated, threads marked as 'watched' do not function
correctly.

Anybody?

Cheers,

Gaz

STP commands [7:6871]

2001-06-02 Thread Hunt Lee

Can someone please shed some light on this? I have read many times (on
p153-158) on Cisco BCMSN book but still very confused between on the
following 4 commands:  And I don't understand when do you have to use
them, since I thought root port is determined by the lowest path cost. 
If equal, it goes for the lowest Bridge ID.  And if it still equals, it
goes for the lowest port ID.

1) set spantree portpri 2/3  [vlans]
VS
2) set spantree portvlanpri 2/3  [vlans]

And

3) set spantree portcost 2/3 
VS
4) set spantree portvlancost 2/3 cost  [vlan]

Thanks!

RE: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Louie Belt

Any CCIE or CCIE candidate worth his salt would want the lab to be tougher.
A number of study aids are now available that were not in the past.  This
has somewhat lessened the difficulty of the process (as witnessed by the
backlog of people taking the lab after breezing through the written).
Making it tougher is just a method of counterbalancing all of the increased
study aids and maintaining the value of the CCIE cert.

If you truly want to obtain your CCIE then you should want it to be as
difficult as possible, otherwise where is the value in the cert?  If you are
not up to the challenge, then don't make the attempt.

As for who should evaluate the CCIE program - most (not all)employers
couldn't begin to answer the questions about what is needed from a CCIE.
The biggest employer of CCIE's is Cisco (by far) so they should already have
an idea of what is needed.  Cisco has been respectful enough of the CCIE
population to also ask for their input and most have given it willingly.

My main interested is in preserving the value of the CCIE cert.  I am
currently studying for my 2nd CCIE cert and still hope they make it tougher
(before I complete it).  I also hope they make the recertification tests
tougher as well.

I'm up to the challenge - are you?

Forgive my cynicism, but any CCIE *would* want the lab to be tougher - they
would know that any CCIEs that came along after they received their number
increase the supply, thus lowering the cost of the good. ;-)

I think Cisco ought to be asking companies who *hire* CCIEs what skills
*they* would like to see in those who carry the CCIE certification - not the
number-carrying CCIEs themselves.

I filled out my survey and told them I wanted it to stay a two day lab -
and if anything - make it tougher.  The explosion of materials available to
help people get though the written and prepare for the lab has taken some of
the challenge out of the process in my opinion.  I would prefer they keep it
a 2 day lab, make it mean as h*** and keep the prestige in the cert.  I also
told them I did not want them to stop issuing the medal for those who

Hi, I'm Bob, a computer trainer. I have a lab set up with 2 PCs with 2
routers between, a 3600 and 2600. I have both end PCs on a 192.168.0.0
network going through my e0/1 between routers on a 10.0.0 nw. I can ping
from router to router, but not from router to the outer PCs., nor of course
can I ping from outer pc to outer pc. Is there something I'm not considering
right?

1 & 3 apply to all VLANs on the respective ports--all VLANs are treated the
same. Commands 2 and 4 allow you to change the values on a per-VLAN basis,
treating each VLAN differently.

Hope this helps!

Enjoy!

Re: PC to PC thru 2 routers??? [7:6877]

2001-06-02 Thread Bryan in Richmond

Each PC needs to be on a separate subnet or network unless you are bridging.
You then need to define the router interface local to each PC as the default
gateway.

try these three subnets...

192.168.1.0
192.168.2.0
192.168.3.0
using a mask of 255.255.255.0

good luckBryan

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Bradley J. Wilson

If I weren't up to the challenge, I wouldn't be on this newsgroup.  Are you
up to the challenge of leaving the bar at the same height that it was when
*you* passed the test?  I personally think the test is difficult enough as
it is.  Am I a wimp because of that?  Do we need to dump some dirt on the
top of Everest now that it's been conquered by someone else ahead of me?

If Cisco wants to make the test "tougher," they're well within their rights
to do so.  I just hope they don't call it the "CCIE" - call it something
different, and reset the numbers to zero (or 1025, whichever).

Any CCIE or CCIE candidate worth his salt would want the lab to be tougher.
A number of study aids are now available that were not in the past.  This
has somewhat lessened the difficulty of the process (as witnessed by the
backlog of people taking the lab after breezing through the written).
Making it tougher is just a method of counterbalancing all of the increased
study aids and maintaining the value of the CCIE cert.

If you truly want to obtain your CCIE then you should want it to be as
difficult as possible, otherwise where is the value in the cert?  If you are
not up to the challenge, then don't make the attempt.

As for who should evaluate the CCIE program - most (not all)employers
couldn't begin to answer the questions about what is needed from a CCIE.
The biggest employer of CCIE's is Cisco (by far) so they should already have
an idea of what is needed.  Cisco has been respectful enough of the CCIE
population to also ask for their input and most have given it willingly.

My main interested is in preserving the value of the CCIE cert.  I am
currently studying for my 2nd CCIE cert and still hope they make it tougher
(before I complete it).  I also hope they make the recertification tests
tougher as well.

I'm up to the challenge - are you?

Forgive my cynicism, but any CCIE *would* want the lab to be tougher - they
would know that any CCIEs that came along after they received their number
increase the supply, thus lowering the cost of the good. ;-)

I think Cisco ought to be asking companies who *hire* CCIEs what skills
*they* would like to see in those who carry the CCIE certification - not the
number-carrying CCIEs themselves.

IS-IS on 1600s? [7:6885]

2001-06-02 Thread andyh

anyone know whether it is possible to run IS-IS on a 1600-series router (non
R-type)?

I have been thru the Featue Navigator and tried a number of the images - the
"router isis" command is there and accepted, but it is impossible to specify
a
NET, etc.

I know that for OSPF on these boxes an IP-Plus image is needed - any similar
gotchas for IS-IS?

I have 10Meg flash and 8Meg RAM which rules out the 12.2 series, but think
I'm
okay apart from that.

many thanks

Andy

BGP -Maximum Paths [7:6887]

2001-06-02 Thread moe humm

Hey gang,

I have a question on maximum-paths in BGP;

This is the scenario:  4 T1's running EBGP to our ISP in a multihome peer 
session; each of the circuits go to a different POP.  Each of the peer 
sessions receive a partial routing table from our provider.  What we have 
found is that load sharing (outbound to our ISP) is virtually non-existant.


well, i'm studying for BCSN and came across the maximum path feature, and it 
seems like the solution.

My question is this: we have enabled maximum-path 4 to load share between 
the four sessions.  This, however has had a neglible effect.  Does the fact 
that we still hear routes from the provider from different pops affect this?

In other words, since the 4 pops are in a different geographical area, and 
therefore may send a different bgp table which in turns overrides the 
maximum path command.

I want to try having the provider send a default route instead; the thought 
being that our router will not have to decide on best paths, and leave that 
to ISP router, but the powers to be don't want that (for some reason...)

Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks all,

moe

I discovered that somehow the configuration register was changed to

initially booted the router and he did absolutely nothing that would
alter the configuration register;  it just seems to have done it during
a reload because we didn't notice this odd behavior until we did a warm
reboot.

Very bizarre.  But, since I changed the config register back to 0x2102
it seems to be working normally.  I can think of nothing that would
cause an unexpected configuration register change like that.  Oh well,
another weird issue in the books.  I think I'll be upgrading the IOS on

Re: BGP -Maximum Paths [7:6887]

2001-06-02 Thread andyh

BGP multi-path only works with *identical* prefixes, the only difference
between the paths permitted  is the router-ID of the originating router.
Are you certsin that you are receiving identical routes from all the PoPs?

If you have four T-1s I would suggest that before worrying about
load-balancing, you seriously look at resilience in your uplink - ie split
your T-1s out over at least one other router.

As far as load balancing goes, and assuming that the PoPs are all pretty
equally connected, it is up to you how to weight the routes.  A really
basic, semi-arbitrary way might be to match as-paths on each link as
transiting each of the top 4 Tier-1s:

UUNet - AS701
C&W - AS 3561
AboveNet - 6461
BBN - AS1

(not sure my details are entirely up to date, but open to comment)

and the set the local-preference to >100 for these paths on each router

this might be a starting point - it is a coarse grained way to split the
traffic, you can fine-tune from there.  it may be worth checking those
AS-paths on each router to see whether any one of the four is best connected
to those routes.

 Silicon Valley is no more. 
 Angry hordes of former dot-commers are looting in the dark. 
 It was fun while it lasted. 
 
 I'm coming back home tomorrow.

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Michael L. Williams

I agree with you.  It's awful easy for someone who's already gotten their
CCIE (which when they passed the lab probably could be quoted as saying
something like "that was the most difficult thing I've ever seen") to now
say "Sure.. make it as difficult as possible "

I don't know many CCIEs personally.  Only a couple, and both of them said
that given the time constraints of the lab (2 days), it is extremely
difficult. So I don't think jamming it into 1 day just because Cisco is too
cheap to spring for more testing centers to keep up with demand is a
"resonable solution".  Isn't this why Cisco is contemplating making it 1
day?   Not to "raise the bar" of the level of the exam, but simply because
they're testing centers can't handle the demand.  Mashing into 1 day, IMHO,
would be a very poor decision.

Agreeing with Brad, do all of the CCIEs that are out there have a problem
with leaving the bar where it was when you passed it?  It only seems fair.

Re: another OT: why you UNIX guys look down on we NT guys? [7:6896]

2001-06-02 Thread Michael L. Williams

In case you haven't noticed, most CCNA books point out the fact that the IOS
uses a "Unix-ish" shell, with command line completion, etc. just like Unix.

Some of the low end equipment, like the 700 series and the 1900s allow you
to use a web interface, but virtually everything else is command line.

Can you provide facts showing that the IOS *isn't* Unix-ish?  Perhaps Cisco
is working on a GUI, (don't flame me for this ... it's a joke), they're
working on a GUI so all the NT admins can have a chance at becoming Cisco
gurus =)

Re: another OT: why you UNIX guys look down on we NT guys? [7:6897]

2001-06-02 Thread Kelly Hair

Jason -

Once again... for the reading impared: Cisco IOS is Unixish.  Did I state
that it IS Unix?  Where do you suppose Cisco came up with the idea of the
Internetworking Operating System?   Please do not tell me MS-DOS, PC-DOS,
Logo or some other crap... Commands like finger, who, telnet, history may
seem foreign to you but they have Unix origins...   If only IOS incorporated
grep, sed and awk then life would be a little nicer (and no... the
inc/begin/exclude in >= 12.0 does not count...)   Regarding your barb on
Unix experts should be CCIEs -  by the same token we should could also state
that all NT admins are on the same level as all script kiddies...  Please...
there are some good/great NT admins out there who are very technical.

You never answered the Windows 3.1 AS question...   Would you trust your
Enterprise to this?   There are Unix systems that are still running from
that um.. time period.  For some fun reading, Jason, check out
http://www.sciam.com/1998/1198issue/1198techbus2.html   Perhaps the link is
a little old but it is one example of how many organizations are attempting
to use Windows NT in the Enterprise.  Hopefully, the IRS does not...   Then
again, 4 billion later and they still have problems perhaps that could be
their new answer.   If only that flat tax would pass... sigh...

If Cisco is working on a GUI then they are going the same path as Lucent and
others before them.   I cannot wait until the know it all manager configures
the network and does not understand why it doesn't work... I mean.. all the
pretty lines with a thunderbolt connected to a ring here and a bar there...
Guess there will always be work for IT folks :)

One last thing.. could you send me some mail offline from this mailing list?
You are listed as an anonymous poster and I would love to continue this
conversation in a more private forum.

Regards,
Kelly

Looking for memory specs for 4000-M [7:6898]

2001-06-02 Thread Tim Medley

OK I'm getting a little frustrated this morning. I have been searching
the archives and CCO with no luck. I just got a 4000-M without any
memory and I'm trying to come up with memory for it.

Can anyone tell me or point me towards the memory specifications for a
4000-M? All I can seem to find on CCO is how much memory I can cram into
this guy; not what memory is compatible.

Also if anyone has some DRAM for a 4000-M they want to sell, I'd be
interested.

thanks,

tm

TCP Sliding Windows question [7:6899]

2001-06-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I am reading Doug Comer's excellent book Internetworking with TCP/IP vol 1.
Highly recommended, and I wish I had followed the good advice of several
other people on this list, and read the book a year ago.

I have a question on sliding windows as Comer describes it: "The TCP sliding
window mechanism operates at the octet level, not at the segment or packet
level"  Comer goes on to describe the operation of the mechanism, and
indicates that acknowledgements occur octet for octet.

This strikes me as highly inefficient, and something that would render TCP
unusable in networks of any size. Because acknowledgements are based on
sequence numbers, there would have to be a TCP header for every octet. Not
good at all.

I am no doubt missing something fundamental here. Perhaps TCP stack
implementations are written in such a way that the "octets" being sent and
acknowledge via the sliding window mechanism are really segments / packets?
I.e. hundreds of octets at a time?

Can someone enlighten me?

Chuck

   I have this problem. I can't ping anything outside
the pix from machines inside. Pix inside IP is the

the gateway. I can also ping outside world from pix.
What is causing this problem...? I have pasted pix

How to configure 1601 to load balance 2 Internet circuits [7:6900]

2001-06-02 Thread Justin Lofton

I have a customer that has a 128k connection to the Internet and they are
bringing in a T1 to the Internet but they want to load balance on both
circuits for a week to be sure the new circuit is working properly.  What is
the simpliest way to configure this scenario?  Can I set multiple last
resort gateways or what?  Please help!

Thanks everyone!

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

I'm a little puzzled by all this.  Certifications are fine, but they 
are a beginning, not an end.

Now, I freely admit I'm in an odd position.  As far as I am 
concerned, I met the equivalent difficulty of CCIE in the pre-1975 
CCSI program, which was radically different.  I can't see my career 
advancement being improved in the slightest by having a CCIE, because 
I have credentials that are worth more to me.  Now that Cisco is so 
aggressive against study sites, I've made a conscious decision not to 
get a CCIE so I can't be accused of NDA violations.

Yet I think my record is sufficient to demonstrate I believe in 
helping people getting CCIE and lesser certificates.  But I do 
believe that at some point, certification is enough.  Even in 
medicine, you go through National Boards, then usually the boards for 
family practice or a primary specialty, maybe a specialty like 
cardiology or infectious disease that does have a certification, but 
even fellowship training beyond that doesn't have "certification" 
requirements.  There may be a need to take a certain amount of 
continuing education courses.

But the real credentials come with doing, and that can be in an 
assortment of areas.  I've designed some big and complex networks, 
but now work more on protocol performance and product design (and no, 
I can't get into what I'm working on). But one indication might be my 
most active IETF activity on BGP router convergence, the new edition 
of which will be coauthored by Nortel, Cisco, Nexthop, and Juniper.

Participating in professional societies is a real thing you can do, 
and don't tell me it's too difficult.  Local groups of IEEE, ACM, 
etc., meet locally, as do many user groups.  Most of the IETF and 
NANOG work is done on open mailing lists, although it does help to go 
to meetings.

Presenting your more interesting designs and troubleshooting can fall 
into professional activities, mentoring programs, etc.  Trade and 
professional journals always are looking for contributors.  You think 
having three or four or five pages of publications and presentations 
doesn't help your resume? Guess again.

When it comes to passing exams, there is a point at which I remember 
the technical term used for the dumbest medical student that passes 
through school:

doctor.

Make the CCIE lab more difficult?  With more unrealistic rules like 
don't use static routes when they are appropriate design?  Keep 
trying to show complex phenomena with six routers that really might 
not show up before sixty?

Re: TCP Sliding Windows question [7:6899]

2001-06-02 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

TCP sequences bytes. A lot of people assume that TCP sequences packets or 
segments, but that's not true.

The sequence number in a TCP header is the sequence number of the first 
byte in the payload. It's not a segment number. The ACK is the number of 
the next byte of payload expected. It's not a segment number. The sliding 
window keeps track of how many bytes have been sent and acknowledged.

The 3-way handshake kind of breaks this rule, which is probably why people 
get confused. They never go past the 3-way handshake. With the 3-way 
handshake, there are no payload bytes. The recipient's ACK number is 
nonetheless one more than the other side's SEQ number.

Follow the sequence number and ACKs in the following trace, after you get 
past the 3-way handshake in packets 1-3:

1   MyPCServer  TCP HTTPS=   2821020, L=0, A= 0
2   Server  MyPCTCP HTTPS=2134278484, L=0, A=   2821021
3   MyPCServer  TCP HTTPS=   2821021, L=0, A=2134278485
4   MyPCServer  TCP HTTPS=   2821021, L=  384, A=2134278485
5   Server  MyPCTCP HTTPS=2134278485, L=0, A=   2821405
6   Server  MyPCTCP HTTPS=2134278485, L=  156, A=   2821405
7   MyPCServer  TCP HTTPS=   2821405, L=0, A=2134278641
8   MyPCServer  TCP HTTPS=   2821405, L=  304, A=2134278641
9   Server  MyPCTCP HTTPS=2134278641, L=0, A=   2821709
10  Server  MyPCTCP HTTPS=2134278641, L=  156, A=   2821709

Re: show trunk command doesn't work on my switch [7:6858]

2001-06-02 Thread Karen E Young

Arun,

I'm not completely sure, but I think that you have to run 12.0 or higher to
do trunking on a router. You might want to double check that though.In the
mean time, here are examples of a working trunking config on a 2924XL that I
work with and the complementing router config.

Switch...
 switchport access vlan 1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q (you would use isl instead)
 switchport mode trunk

Router...
interface FastEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 speed 100
 full-duplex
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.1
 description Management
 encapsulation dot1q 1
 ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.0
 no ip directed-broadcast

Hope this helps,
Karen

Hello Guys / Ladies,
I am trying to get reverse telnet configured on a 2511. I have 7 other 
routers connected via an asyn scsi cable. all seems to be well but still can 
not get it going. can not telnet to other router via the access server. If 
anyone has quick and dirty notes on this configuration, I would appreciate 
it if you can email it to me ...

Thanks a lot

Re: BGP -Maximum Paths [7:6887]

2001-06-02 Thread Nate Van Maren

It seems that if you are only getting partial routes from each of the
connections, you are probably using your gateway of last resort for most of
your outbound traffic.
When you enabled the maximum-paths, you enabled load balancing for the
partial routes you are getting, but again, that is probably not what most of
your traffic is going to.  I would then configure 4 default gateways, one
for each T1.  You should then load-distribute per-desiccation/per-session.

Thanks

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Kevin Wigle

"This has somewhat lessened the difficulty of the process (as witnessed by
the
backlog of people taking the lab after breezing through the written)."

When the "junior certs" were introduced, it was pondered whether they should
be a pre-requisite to the CCIE written or as I have read before - make the
CCNP/CCDP the pre-requisite for the lab.

On a FAQ at one time, Cisco said that "eventually" the CCIE would become
part of the career certification track which was to say that you would need
to go through the junior certs before attempting the CCIE.

With the onslaught of new study material, bootcamps, virtual racks et al, I
think it is time that the CCIE written be retired and the CCNP/CCDP be the
CCIE lab authorization.

Or, because the CCIE written still has stuff that is not talked about much
any more (if at all) in the current R/S curriculum, then a smaller CCIE
written to cover those topics but integrate it into the present career
track.  CCNA - CCNP/CCDP - CCIE Written - CCIE lab.

This way, we could get rid of the idea of passing one exam and then clogging
the calendar for the CCIE lab.  If you have to get from 4 - 7 exams before
the lab, that would perhaps slow things down and maybe (just maybe) increase
the success rate at the lab.

Hopefully this would stave off any loss of respect for the cert and perhaps
even increase it.

Hello Justin,

The easiest way to resolve this would be to use multiple default routes from
global configuration:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 

The router will load balance between the 2 routes.

Just so you don't think you're being ignored, I've sifted through every

I'm stuck as well. Can't see anything wrong with the config.
I take it you already did a clear xlate/reload.
What does show xlate give you.

RE: TCP Sliding Windows question [7:6899]

2001-06-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Thanks, PO.

I should add that after I posted, I continued my reading, and a couple of
pages later, Comer goes into a detailed explanation about how this works.
Let me try to explain in my own words, and let's see if I "get it".

Starting with me as a user. I want to download a Windows NT service pack -
mucho megabytes.

Before the file transfer actually begins, the TCP deamons on my PC and the
Microsoft server agree on a window size. I'm going to use round numbers to
male the math easier. We agree that the window size is 64K bytes - the
server will send me 64K bytes before it expects an ack from me. Let's
further say for argument's sake that  the MTU throughout the network path is
1000 bytes. I'm also going to skip calculations involving headers and stuff
because I want to keep this simple. But I do understand that TCP and IP
header sizes are accounted for by the sending TCP deamon.

OK, the window size is 64K bytes, and the packet size is going to be 1000
bytes. Therefore TCP can send 64 packets ( segments ) before expecting an
ack.

All right - file transfer begins. My machine receives the first packet. It
sends an ack that tells the sender that of that 64K byte window, I have
received bytes 1 through 1000.  Now, suppose some packets arrive out of
sequence. Let's say I receive packet 20 before I receive packet 19 ( of the
64 packets accounted for in the TCP window my ack tells the sender that I
have received bytes20,001 through 21,000. If I never ack packet 19, ( or
rather, the bytes contained within that stream ) then only packet 19 is
retransmitted by the sender.

The fact that a number of packets ( number of bytes ) can be sent before
requiring acknowledgement makes the whole process a lot more efficient.

That's where I got confused. For whatever reason I had come to believe that
TCP acknowledged based on packets. I believe I understand this now. TCP
operates on packets ( segments is the more correct term )  and acknowledges
that it has received so many bytes out of the byte count indicated by the
window size.

Amazing how it makes sense when you 1) read the material and 2) apply a bit
of thought.

Thanks again

Chuck

Subject:Re: TCP Sliding Windows question [7:6899]

TCP sequences bytes. A lot of people assume that TCP sequences packets or
segments, but that's not true.

The sequence number in a TCP header is the sequence number of the first
byte in the payload. It's not a segment number. The ACK is the number of
the next byte of payload expected. It's not a segment number. The sliding
window keeps track of how many bytes have been sent and acknowledged.

The 3-way handshake kind of breaks this rule, which is probably why people
get confused. They never go past the 3-way handshake. With the 3-way
handshake, there are no payload bytes. The recipient's ACK number is
nonetheless one more than the other side's SEQ number.

Follow the sequence number and ACKs in the following trace, after you get
past the 3-way handshake in packets 1-3:

If the jam signal is all ones, it would look like 0xFFs on a Sniffer. The 
jam doesn't have to be all ones, though. On old bus coax networks, it was 
actually rare to see the jam because by the time the jam happened the 
clocking was so messed up that the Sniffer had already stopped capturing 
and just reported a runt, CRC error, collision.

On a network with repeaters (hubs), when the repeater detects a collision 
it sends a 96-bit jam composed of alternating ones and zeros, which would 
look like 0xAAs or 0x55s. That's easier to see.

A lot of Sniffers don't capture bad frames or runts, so you wouldn't see 
any of these jams in those cases.

Someone else may have some additional information. It's always been a 
question of mine also whether you can really see jams or not.

Of course in networks where full-duplex switch ports have replaced hub 
ports, this is no longer relevant.

Please send messages to the group, not to me. Thanks,

The two communicating stations do not agree on a window size. Each side has 
its own window size. A low-end PC might start with a small window size. A 
big UNIX ;-) server would likely start with a large window size. I took out 
the window size parameter in my example below to simplify matters, but my 
Windows 98 PC started with a window size of 8760 bytes. The server started 
with 17520 bytes. The window size is advertised in each packet. It 
specifies how many bytes the station is ready to receive at this time. It 
can slide closed as a station gets overwhelmed. Hopefully it slides back 
open as the station hands off bytes from its buffers to the application.

Each side specifies the size of the segment it can receive in the 3-way 
handshake. The Max Segment Size (MSS) is a TCP option, one of the few ever 
used. It does not count the TCP or IP header. In my example, both my PC and 
the server said the their maximum segment size was 1460 bytes. So, in that 
sense, they took into account the TCP and IP header sizes and understood 
the MTU, as you say.

Segment size is 1000 bytes, OK.

There's no need to send an ACK yet if the window size is 64 K.

Packets aren't numbered, so your wording is bugging me, and I don't think 
the concept is quite right either. The ACK specifies the byte I expect to 
receive next. It is a single number, not a range. If bytes are missing, I 
have to keep the ACK at the first byte of the hole. The sender resends 
everything from there on.

If I advertised a window size of 64 K and an MSS of 1000, then I don't have 
to ACK each packet. I may have time to sort out packets that are out of 
order as opposed to missing, if that's what you're getting at.

That's right. That's the main thing to understand.

Don't confuse reliability with flow control. ACKs are used for reliability. 
Windows are used for flow control.

You may have better luck with Stevens, "TCP/IP Illustrated." If you can, 
block out some time to study this with a Sniffer. That's how I learned it. 
Then you can start learning about Nagle, etc.!

As indicated by the big fat DCA label silk-screened on the card, it was
manufactured by DCA, aka Digital Communication Associates (which, IIRC,
either folded down or were bought out years ago, possibly by either
Microsoft or Attachmate). Judging by the edge bus connector and the
bracket, it's an ISA (or perhaps EISA) card. Judging by the connector on
the other side, it was probably designed to be mated to something else,
or perhaps as a dual-bus card. (And now that I think of it, I dimly
remember something about an ISA+MCA dual-bus card.)

Does that answer your question?

Re: TCP Sliding Windows question [7:6899]

2001-06-02 Thread andyh

sort of continuing, although on an IPX track

was reading Radia Perlman's book the other day, and she mentions that SPX
has a window size of 1.  Now, I seem to remember from my DOS/Win3.11 days
that there was some kind of SPX burst facility available (with addition TSR
drivers).  Wasn't really au-fait with networking back int those days, but
would I be right in assuming that this adds some kind of sliding window
functionality to SPX?

Problem with home network [7:6922]

2001-06-02 Thread Paul Borghese

I have a cable modem connected to a linux box that is performing NAT from my
invalid home network of 172.16.1.0/24 to my valid IP address 209.160.20.67.
The 172.16.1.0 network is going into a small inexpensive hub.  This setup
has worked for about a year.

A few days ago, I needed to do some things on the linux box.  When I hooked
everything back up my internet access was horrid.  Found the following:

If I ping from 172.16.1.98 (my PC) to the following addresses:

172.16.1.1 (PC's Default GW, E1 interface on Linux box)
0% Packet Loss
209.160.20.67 (E0 Linux IP address and address PC is being NATed to)  0%
Packet loss
209.160.20.1 (GW of Linux Box)
70% Packet Loss

If I ping from the Linux box I see no packet loss to 172.16.1.98 or
209.160.20.1.  So I can now deduce the connection between the Linux box and
the default GW is clean.

But something is occuring with the NAT translations that causes 70% packet
loss through the box.


Ok, so here is the puzzling thing.  If I remove the hub and use a crossover
cable between the PC and Linux box the address which is problamatic
209.168.20.1 receives no packet loss when pinging from the PC - hence fixing
the problem.

So in other words, removing the hub on the 172.16.1.0 network fixes the
connection at 209.168.20.1 ?!?

Any ideas?


Paul Borghese

RE: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Louie Belt

When the CCIE cert first came about there were not 100+ books avilable to
help you pass it.  There were not a multitude of online labs, lab study
guides, study groups, ...  Since all of those items are now available, I
feel the bar has been lowered.  I'm for putting it back where it was.

Additionally I'm studying for my second CCIE cert, I sincerely hope that it
is much tougher than my first.  I want to maintain the value of the cert.

I agree with you.  It's awful easy for someone who's already gotten their
CCIE (which when they passed the lab probably could be quoted as saying
something like "that was the most difficult thing I've ever seen") to now
say "Sure.. make it as difficult as possible "

I don't know many CCIEs personally.  Only a couple, and both of them said
that given the time constraints of the lab (2 days), it is extremely
difficult. So I don't think jamming it into 1 day just because Cisco is too
cheap to spring for more testing centers to keep up with demand is a
"resonable solution".  Isn't this why Cisco is contemplating making it 1
day?   Not to "raise the bar" of the level of the exam, but simply because
they're testing centers can't handle the demand.  Mashing into 1 day, IMHO,
would be a very poor decision.

Agreeing with Brad, do all of the CCIEs that are out there have a problem
with leaving the bar where it was when you passed it?  It only seems fair.

RE: Problem with home network [7:6922]

2001-06-02 Thread Daniel Cotts

Since you touched the Linux box it would be the first suspect.
Can you verify that there was no configuration change? - even by accident?
If there was a change, can you roll it back to original?
Are there other computers or printers connected to the hub?
Is the hub single speed or dual speed? (10/100)
(Thinking about speed/duplex mismatches.)
How does the Linux box configure the default route? Does it point to its own
E0 interface or to the remote GW? (Thinking about filling its ARP cache)

The burst facility you're thinking of is probably the one used by NCP,
which is Novell's notion of a client-to-server application-level
protocol, and is to SPX what the original NFS was to TCP (ie, a distant
relative). SPX-with-a-real-window was (IIRC) what SPX2 would have been
had it not been stillborn.

All of the above is from dim memories, and any relation to reality may
or may not be a coincidence.

RE: Problem with home network [7:6922]

2001-06-02 Thread Paul Borghese

Yea, I have a theory.  It has to do with the Linux box, defaulting to
100MB.  Let's suppose the Linux box and PC are both running at 100 MB/sec
but the hub is only 10 MB/sec.  Maybe the timing is such that it will not
work past one hop.

When I recompiled the kernel, maybe the new kernel release changed how the
modules works on the Ethernet card, causing it to not detect 10 MB/sec
connections and to default to 100 MB/sec.

I will do a diff on the code.


Who knows?

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Bradley J. Wilson

Well, again, Sir Edmund, just because the newcomers can be better-informed
before their attempts doesn't mean that the challenge needs to be altered or
is less of a challenge for the individual.

Again, I'm not against making certs tougher to achieve.  But it sounds like
there's a touch of bitterness that these study guides weren't around way
back when...well, that's just the way life is.  Making the CCIE "tougher"
and still calling it the "CCIE" is like asking runners to run a 400m race,
but then making them run 500m without telling them. ;-)  Besides, the
argument about the study materials is subjective.  Was CCO around when you
took the CCIE?  Were other engineers around who were studying for it?  Were
used routers around for you to purchase, and perhaps set up for others to
telnet into?  I'm sure there were - if you (and/or others) didn't make use
of them, then that's water under the source-route bridge.

If you want someone to be angry at, be angry at the people who took the
CCIE, passed or not, and then went out and wrote books on how to study for
the CCIE.  But I personally don't think these people are doing a disservice
to the CCIE, nor are they devaluing it - and with a consistent 80% failure
rate, they're certainly not making it "less challenging."  The study guides,
etc. make it more of a group effort, and there's nothing wrong with that -
not against the rules, not against the NDA, and our society wins because
we're able to learn from (and teach to) one another, thereby filling the
desperate need we have today for knowledgeable network engineers.  Don't
punish those of us who have not yet earned our CCIE status for using the
resources which are available to us - or for having the foresight to create
and share new resources.

It really sounds like your argument is that it should be more of a
"dog-eat-dog" world than a world where we're allowed to cooperate and share
knowledge.

Am I wrong?  If so, why?

Any CCIE or CCIE candidate worth his salt would want the lab to be tougher.
A number of study aids are now available that were not in the past.  This
has somewhat lessened the difficulty of the process (as witnessed by the
backlog of people taking the lab after breezing through the written).
Making it tougher is just a method of counterbalancing all of the increased
study aids and maintaining the value of the CCIE cert.

If you truly want to obtain your CCIE then you should want it to be as
difficult as possible, otherwise where is the value in the cert?  If you are
not up to the challenge, then don't make the attempt.

As for who should evaluate the CCIE program - most (not all)employers
couldn't begin to answer the questions about what is needed from a CCIE.
The biggest employer of CCIE's is Cisco (by far) so they should already have
an idea of what is needed.  Cisco has been respectful enough of the CCIE
population to also ask for their input and most have given it willingly.

My main interested is in preserving the value of the CCIE cert.  I am
currently studying for my 2nd CCIE cert and still hope they make it tougher

Re: traffic can't cross pix [7:6895]

2001-06-02 Thread Mike Nygard

Hello Pat,

I concur with Gaz.the config looks fine. We are running the same version
of finesse on some our PIX 515's with similar configs, and can pass icmp
traffic. By adding the line permit icmp any anyit punches a hole in the
ACA and allows the echo reply back in. I would try, as suggested by Gaz,
clear xlate. Also, to make sure translation isn't failing and to watch the
icmp traffic: debug icmp trace.

Thanks,

RE: IPX/SPX window? (was TCP Sliding Windows question) [7:6925]

2001-06-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

If memory serves ( always a question in my case ) the facility was called
Pburst, ( maybe pburst.nlm? ) and was one of those things that got blamed
for a lot of problems on Novell servers. Almost the first words out of any
NetWare engineer's mouth were "have you disabled packet burst?"

The burst facility you're thinking of is probably the one used by NCP,
which is Novell's notion of a client-to-server application-level
protocol, and is to SPX what the original NFS was to TCP (ie, a distant
relative). SPX-with-a-real-window was (IIRC) what SPX2 would have been
had it not been stillborn.

All of the above is from dim memories, and any relation to reality may
or may not be a coincidence.

RE: last word: UNIX guys look down on we NT guys [7:6842]

2001-06-02 Thread Jennifer Cribbs

I work with both os's, so here is my two cents.

Everyone should calm down. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an
nt
admin. Or for that matter being an Unix admin either.  However, for what
it's
worth, Unix was first and therefore it is alot easier to move from Unix to 
other operating systems in a job field.  If you can understand the Unix 
language, dos is a breeze.  It's an offshoot. However in my experience, just 
because someone is an NT admin, doesn't necessarily mean they can operate
from
dos mode.  Nt and dos are two entirely different operating systems. 
However,
what what I have seen in my Unix environment, which by the way does not use
a
gui environment, is much much more challenging.  Which I like.

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Michael L. Williams

Louie,

I understand your point about "not a multitude of study materials, etc".  I
can't imagine studying for any Cisco exam without having good books and
Cisco's website at my disposal.  However, I don't see how having more study
material makes the the actual material less complex or performing the
hands-on of the lab less difficult.  So I don't agree that having those
materials available "lowered the bar".  To make an analogy to high-jumping,
I don't believe having the materials lowered the bar, I think it's more akin
to having a better coach to tell you how to jump properly to make it over
the same bar.  And, in my mind, there's nothing wrong with that, since
having a better high-jumping coach doesn't "cheapen" the sport of
high-jumping.

Previously you said, "A number of study aids are now available that were not
in the past.  This has somewhat lessened the difficulty of the process (as
witnessed by the backlog of people taking the lab after breezing through the
written)."

I don't believe this is a good conclusion.  You statement makes the
assumption that the number of people entering the Cisco field, or at least
attempting the CCIE, has been constant.  If anything, this is opposite of
the truth.  I would account for the backlog for the CCIE lab with 2 things:

1) Acknowledging that more and more people are coming into this field and
attempting the CCIE.
2) Cisco has done nothing to increase their lab availability to accomodate
the new demand.  If anything, they're directly responsible for the backlog
because now there are only TWO places in all of North America to take the
lab.  Didn't there used to be 3 places (CA, NC, and Canada)?

I'm glad to hear you're going for your second CCIE cert.  I sincerely wish
you the best of luck!  I admire the fact that you look for, and aren't
afraid of a true challenge.

RE: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Louie Belt

Yes you are wrong (about my perspective).  I have helped several engineers
study for and pass the CCIE written as well as the lab.  My concern is in
preserving the value of the cert. As for dog-eat-dog I'll help anyone who is
sincere and wants to learn - providing they are willing to put in the
effort.  However, I will not "give them the answers" so that they can make
the value of my cert less.

Prior to so much study material being available, you had to study and know
how to handle a wide array of issues, the specifics as to what is on the lab
were simply unknown and therefore you had to be prepared for anything - and
know it well.  Now that the study materials have become available, it allows
a candidate to be more focused on lab specific issues instead of on routing
and swicthing in general.  As a result a candidate can now pass the lab
without having a decent broad knowledge of routing and switching, they just
need to know how to prepare for the lab.  That in my opinion has devalued
the certification.

If we have 100,000 CCIEs all of which know there stuff and are a credit to
the certification then I have no problem with it.  It we have 8000 CCIEs and
1000 of them can't live up to the expectations of the certification, then it
hurts the value not only of the other 7000, but also of any future
recipients of the certification.

I am not bitter or angry (thanks for jumping to conclusions) that the study
guides weren't around, some were when I received my cert and I certainly
used them. I don't want them to go away.  I own many of the books written by
other CCIEs and use them as a reference quite often.  I am thankful they are
available. The materials that exist have the potential to help all of us. My
issue is simply one of "The CCIE certification should not be devaulued" -
that is my chief concern and my reason for answering the survey the way I
did.  The only reason I posted my response to the survey was because I was
asked to do so.  I apologize if my opinions differ from yours and you are
therefore offended.  It was not my intention to offend you.  You most
certainly are entitled to your opinion and I don't expect to change your
mind.


Hope this clears things up a bit, otherwise we'll have to just agree to
disagree.

Louie

Well, again, Sir Edmund, just because the newcomers can be better-informed
before their attempts doesn't mean that the challenge needs to be altered or
is less of a challenge for the individual.

Again, I'm not against making certs tougher to achieve.  But it sounds like
there's a touch of bitterness that these study guides weren't around way
back when...well, that's just the way life is.  Making the CCIE "tougher"
and still calling it the "CCIE" is like asking runners to run a 400m race,
but then making them run 500m without telling them. ;-)  Besides, the
argument about the study materials is subjective.  Was CCO around when you
took the CCIE?  Were other engineers around who were studying for it?  Were
used routers around for you to purchase, and perhaps set up for others to
telnet into?  I'm sure there were - if you (and/or others) didn't make use
of them, then that's water under the source-route bridge.

If you want someone to be angry at, be angry at the people who took the
CCIE, passed or not, and then went out and wrote books on how to study for
the CCIE.  But I personally don't think these people are doing a disservice
to the CCIE, nor are they devaluing it - and with a consistent 80% failure
rate, they're certainly not making it "less challenging."  The study guides,
etc. make it more of a group effort, and there's nothing wrong with that -
not against the rules, not against the NDA, and our society wins because
we're able to learn from (and teach to) one another, thereby filling the
desperate need we have today for knowledgeable network engineers.  Don't
punish those of us who have not yet earned our CCIE status for using the
resources which are available to us - or for having the foresight to create
and share new resources.

It really sounds like your argument is that it should be more of a
"dog-eat-dog" world than a world where we're allowed to cooperate and share
knowledge.

Am I wrong?  If so, why?

Re: 520 PIX Firewall upgrade [7:6934]

2001-06-02 Thread Mike Peterson

Hi Jonatas, This may have already been answered, but I would like to
share my experience with this upgrade of PIX 520 .First of all you have
to determine your memory size ( flash, RAM) , you might not see thesize
of flash when you do # sh ver but you will see 128MB of RAM  and as far I
know all PIX box with this RAM has 16MB of flash .Also write down your
Serial Number it will help you getting the activation key for VPN-DES or
VPN-3DES when you send your request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and provide
show version output to them.If you do #  wr t  at the end of your config
. in ver 4.2(4) you might see your key sometime (it depends). Go to
www.cisco.com and download the procedure for upgrading PIX 520 and read
the procedure carefully and proced to download the ver. you want (I
recommend a lowerver. 5. 12 f.i. first and then another one higher f.i.
5.25), so you will have to download the followings file : bh512.bin,
bh525.bin, pix512.bin, pix525. bin , rawrite, readme..The procedure has a
small typos when you prepare your floppy disk , after formating youhave
to C:\>rawrite and put the file name : bh512.bin instead pix512.bin 
and follow the procedure. At the end it will ask you for if you want to
change the activation key so if you got it from Cisco TAC you can put it
know ...and you are done.Caution: If you have another PIX 520 which is
your failover PIX  when you plug your failover cable you might run in
some problems  all you have to do is too wait long enough till you PIX's
syncronize , to see you can type # show failover and look to see which
box is Active and which is in standby. Good luck, Mike

I'm very glad you finally agree. See, it's not that difficult.. in case you

NAT on PIX515 [7:6938]

2001-06-02 Thread chris fong

Can anyone tell me more about the 'Show Connections'
and the 'show xlate' commands on the PIX? Does the 'sh
conn' show the current connections and if so, does it
show the outbound connections and the inbound
connections or just the outbound connections? The same
for the 'sh xlate' command.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Opinions on Cisco Access Pro AP-EC's [7:1045]

2001-06-02 Thread Ron Bandes

Not just on the CiscoPro AP, but on all IOS routers (as far as I know), you
must have an Enable password set on the router in order to enter Privileged
mode from the AUX or VTY ports.  Only the CONS port can enter Privileged
mode on a router lacking an Enable password.  Unfortunately, you must be in
Privileged mode to set the password, so you are in a Catch 22 until you
solve your problem with the CONS port.

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

Louie- I don't think we're talk'n Apple to Apples here...

During the early CCIE exams, I was told candidates were able to use their
own notes during the test (if Pamela Forsythe is out there, she could
confirm this rumor) & can you imagine how much "easier" the lab would have
been with versions 9.0, 10.0 or even 11.0(22) IOS.  I agree there's more
information available, but after having sat through a 2 week CCIE lab prep
class...  I think the information just gets you in the ballpark.  Things
like bad time management & poor interpretations, are big obstacles no book
can fix.  I believe the exam is as hard (if not harder) than it's ever been.

RE: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Louie Belt

I agree there is no way to talk apples to apples - too many things have
changed - but don't forget you no longer have to deal with LAT, X.25, CLNS,
DEC, Banyan Vines, Appollo, Appletalk or ATM Lane.  (Voice was already on
the lab prior to these items being removed.)

My concern is with the material that is not focused on teaching you
networking (I have no problem with that), but on the material the simply
teaches you how to pass the test (kind of like all of the Microsoft
braindump material available - desinged only to help you pass the test).  I
see too much material as of late that is way too focused on passing the lab,
not on learning networking.

VPN question [7:6952]

2001-06-02 Thread default

Hello,

I'm afraid I'm clueless about VPN's other than basic traversing of
rfc1918 IPs over a public network. What Im wondering is that my cable
connection to the internet is handled by a cisco2610. On the other side of my
work is an Intel Netsructure VPN gateway use 3des as their encryption. This
else look pretty basic.

Has anyone configured a cisco->intel vpn? Any tips if so would be
appreciated.



Thanks in advance,
Dave

Are you referring to packet burst?  In essence, this is what 
you described(watch wrap):

http://support.novell.com/cgi-
bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/2947728.htm

It was my understanding that many folks wanted to disable this 
capability and the article makes mention of this in a note on 
the bottom:

"Note: Customers have reported that the MS Client for NetWare 
may cause high utilization on NetWare servers.. Disabling the 
Packet Burst functionality of the MS Client resolves the high 
utilization problem. According to one customer, the following 
registry edit disables Packet Burst on the MS Client:"

Still, the intent was good.

Many folks also associate sliding windows with SPX.  
Technically, that is not correct.  True windowing did not 
really happen until SPX II, which also facilitated orderly 
closure of the connection (if requested).

 Wasn't really au-fait with networking back int those days,
> but

SPX II to be more precise.  In a way, one can regard packet 
burst as a windowing mechanism, but it was not as refined as 
SPX II (IMHO).

The real issue is why Novell missed the boat on IP.  Too 
little, too late.  I am a big fan of Novell Netware.  It is a 
rock solid NOS.  Unfortunately market share typically dictates 
what will be used.  The Beta vs. VHS wars are a prime example.

Yes, I still have a working Betamax :-)

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread No Data

As far as this thread goes Ill put in my two cents
worth.

Im just starting to study specifically for the written
right now having just gotten my CCNP so I am in with
those studying for the lab now (or real soon). 
Personally I think Cisco could go right ahead and make
the lab as hard as they want.  In all honesty I never
see the lab being as hard as the orals a 'pure
science' graduate student must take.  It is only, and
will probably ever only be a technical exam and will
never even come close to the difficulty of a
theoretical examination where new ideas must digested
and expounded upon.  Everyone has always known what to
study, routing and switching on cisco
hardware/software, these are not massively huge topics
as a fairly comprehensive library would only fill a
couple bookshelves.  In fact I wouldnt mind if the
test was a single question 'Redesign the overall
topology of the Internet with regards to emerging
traffic patterns expounding upon different paradigms
of routing.  Give specific configuration examples at
all levels of the network using any given piece of
Cisco equipment.'  The current lab is not that hard
and will never be that hard, but if it was I would not
be disappointed, I would personally like such a
challenge.  CCIE is not the be all and end all of
knowledge; it is just a verification of technical
skills on a small selection of platforms.  If it was
made more difficult I would not begrudge anyone else
who achieved the certification before it was made
harder, I am comfortable with my skills and abilities
and really feel no need to use a paper certification
as a crutch for the future.  Studying for the written
and lab though does help me to focus and explore
routing so I continue to do it.  In conclusion, it
should be as hard or as easy as Cisco wants it to be,
I am confident that I will still pass no matter what
when I take the lab a year from now.

What king of routing are you using.  Make sure if you have static routes
that you have an entry for each of the subnets.  To make it alot easier
enable rip routing and also make sure that you set the default gateway on
your pc's to their corresponding router interface ip.  or post configs to
help you more

as to why they sent me the books, A+, CCDA, Solaris Admin. Why in the world

it? And CCDA-No interest.
If they had shipped me 3 CCIE books, I might have considered it-maybe.
My question is has anyone is this group ever got such an offer without your

Re: Subject: Re: TCP Sliding Windows question [7:6899]

2001-06-02 Thread Paul Werner

Priscilla's explanation is right on the money I have added a 
few comments to expand on some areas that were not mentioned.  
See below.

Very correct.  The only way to see this is to "count the bytes" 
as the go across the wire. To help a little bit, I have 
included an ASCII capture summary for a TTCP transfer (watch 
wrap):

http://www.west-
point.org/users/usma1983/40768/chesinc/docs/ttcp2.txt

This is not a theoretical capture, rather a real 10 minute 
transfer between two windows hosts using a direct connection 
with a crossover cable. If you look at the first sequence 
number, you will see it is SEQ=20602846 .  Look at the window 
size and the packet length size (8760 and 1460 respectively).  
We should expect to see five more packets cross the wire before 
an ACK is sent.  You will note that the next sequence number 
(SEQ=20604306) reflects an additional 1460 bytes.  Finally, 
look at the ACK.  Note that the ACK is indicating, "Hey, I want 
to see the **Next** 1460 bytes, hence the number ACK=20611606.  
This is considered a positive or expectational acknowledgement.

The almost full headers are here(watch wrap):

point.org/users/usma1983/40768/chesinc/docs/ttcp.txt

What is equally important is that the ISN (Initial sequence 
number) should be a truly random value, so as not to allow 
hackers to spoof a connection.  There are some pretty well 
documented cases where this was not done, most recently with 
the CBOS on the 600 series routers.

Also, one point of note is the issue of selective 
acknowledgements and negative acknowledgements.  Originally, 
most Internet hosts did not have a TCP/IP stack that 
incorporated SACKs.  With the advent of Solaris 8 and Win 98, 
SACKs were employed in major operating systems.  The effect of 
the selective acknowledgment (as opposed to the negative 
acknowledgement is as follows.

In the instance where you had the transfer I mentioned above, 
consider the situation where I received segments 1 and 2, 
missed segment 3, then received segments 4, 5, and 6.  Would it 
not be a little bit more efficient to tell the server that I at 
least got segments 1 and 2?  That is the point behind SACKs.  
In the case of negative acknowlegements, the intent would be to 
say to the server, "okay, big guy, it looks like I got 
everything except segment number 2.  Whaddya say we resend 
segment number 2 just to make things complete?"  Negative 
acknowledgments are not supported, and likely will not be 
supported unless the TCP specification is rewritten.  Frankly, 
a good sliding window and SACKs seems to be sufficient for 
optimization.
 
I **Strongly** agree with Priscilla's endorsement of TCP/IP 
Illustrated, by W. Richard Stevens.  Unfortunately, it is 
copyrighted September, 1994.  It will never be updated by the 
original author, since he passed away recently.  My 
understanding is that his wife is trying to find somebody 
suitable to make a next edition (which is long overdue).  I 
hope a suitable person will be found.  The Stevens book is a 
*must* read if you want to understand TCP/IP.

v/r,

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-02 Thread Avran

In my opinion, CCIE's are definitely needed for the internet.  What I mean
by that is cisco like all others needs people out there to setup and manage
networks.  Making the exam harder and harder may make a good CCIE
candidates, however the markets usually will not wait to get the all-rounder
CCxx from Cisco. Because Ms.Juniper and Mrs.Foundry are all pushing for
people to be good at making and managing networks.  The more reccomenders or
users the better sales.  When you have more CCIE's and CCNP's and of course
CCNA's the more reccommenders for Cisco products.  Same is the case with all
products.  And as long as Cisco can back the recomender with the quality
products, there is a good future for CCIE's etc.  Few years ago it was Novxx
and Microxx certification was the way to go, how ever Novxx could not back
the reccommender with quality and so may be doing the last dance now.
Microxx just understood the idea but patches for greed is yet to be
invented.  Judge Jacksxx is still working on it.  CCIE is only another level
of knowledge.  It probably will be seen different if the standard is to have
Phd's in networking.  So work hard in knowing more.  Explore the unknown,
expand the known.  That is the only way you will be the best in what you do.
CCIE is the best now, however what % of every CCIE does the world need.
Should they all specialize?

By the way, all the above statements are only opinions and should not be
used directly or indirectly for any decision making.

said kinda sparked some questions/thoughts

Two things, IMHO, that no amount of book reading or practice in a lab can
give:  The ability to be a quick thinker and good troubleshooter.

I know there are writings and courses on troubleshooting, I used to teach
one, however, I believe that true troubleshooting skills, that separate the
"good" CCNP/CCIE from the "paper" CCNP/CCIE, is a natural thing that a
person either has or doesn't have.  Kinda like the ability to play music by
ear.  Either you can do it or your can't.  I learned that I had good
troubleshooting skills when could (successfully) debug assembly language
code that I'd written while teaching myself at the age of 12 using the
trusty Commodore 64 Programmer's Reference Guide.  =)Some people can see
and read about common problems and learn their solutions, but it's the true
troubleshooters that can use their tools and logic to zero in on problems
quickly that really make the grade.  Isn't the first half of the second day
of the lab a kind of "think-fast" troubleshooting session?  I think that is
what the CCIE lab exam should (and I thought did) try to determine if
someone has.

Focusing on testing for "true troubleshooting" talent would definitely
separate the "good" from "paper" candidates and would keep the CCIE from
being "devalued".  Heh, I've been typing this response for about 30 minutes
now (editing this, editing that, etc), but I think I've hit on what I truly
would like to see between the CCIE written/lab.  The written should be used
to evaluate knowledge of protocols, routing, switching, commands, etc.
the lab should be used to *focus* on whether or not someone can
troubleshoot.  I think with enough pratice, anyone can take a lab diagram
and configure the equipment properly.  But fixing something that is broken
takes intuition, logic more "talent" so to speak, so why not focus the
lab on troubleshooting many problems over a 2 day period... for that matter,
give the candidate a fully configured network when they walk in and don't
give ANY information about it... then tell them "I can't ping from here
to here" and let them figure it out from the ground up.. This is all
just random mumblings at this point... any comments are welcome. I
apologize to the group for such a long, pointless post =)

As a side note...  I keep seeing people say things where they draw some
conclusion about the lab (or what it's difficulty should be) based on some
feelings about the written exam, etc.   Aren't the written and the
lab, really two mutually exclusive entities?  I realize the written is
needed to get to the lab, but from what I've been told about them both, the
written still covers X.25, DECnet, Appletalk, etc. (i.e. OLD STUFF) and
excludes topics like multicast and voice (NEW STUFF), while conversely the
lab has dropped most of the stuff like X.25, IPX, AppleTalk, etc and
includes stuff like multicast and voice.  I don't know 100% about what's
been dropped or added to the lab (or the written for that matter), but my
point is simply that it seems the written isn't meant as a "preparation" for
the lab because they test different things, so why base opinions about the
difficulty of the lab on the difficulty (or ease) of the written or how many
people have passed it?  As someone else said, the extremely high failure
rate of the CCIE lab should be an indication that it's plenty difficult no
matter now many people pass the written.

Thanks,
Mike W.

Check out Nortel Networks' NetID. It's probably the
best thing out there.
