RE: Book: CCIE Troubleshooting IP Routing Protocols [7:47099]

It has some nice flow charts.  They make the logical sequence of
troubleshooting steps easier to understand.  It helped me nail down a
multicast routing problem the first day I had it.

RE: New Book for CIT [7:47009]

2002-06-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Having just written the new 606 exam today, I can tell you for a fact that
the 506 book is still valid. But what is more important is the knowledge
learned from doing the foundation (routing,remote access, switching), which
helps with troubleshooting. I still don't see how one can troubleshoot if
you don't have the theory bedded down well. 

This exam was tough for me. BSCI was easier in my opinion. Maybe it's
because I never paid to much attention to this book and all the small print.
I passed by about two questions I think, and the exams are still in the
format of the old exams with a few changes of course. Based on the questions
though, I can safely say ... don't take it lightly anymore. I had a guy who
was writing CCNA next to me, and he didn't pass. I think those exams
probably look like the one's they show on the cisco website.

Well, now I start again with my CCNP books, this time to make notes after
cross-referencing the CCIE level books.

I've got a rather large OSPF area 0 network with no non-zero
areas.  This network will continue to grow both in number of
network elements and number of subnets on these routers.
 
What commands, and specifically, what information provided by

are nearing the point, from a routing perspective, that its time
to segement the network in some fashion?

serial interface down/down or up/down - answers & questions [7:47130]

2002-06-21 Thread Nigel Taylor

John, All,

Actually, both router interfaces(DCE or DTE) will

show "down/down" if the both ports remain "administratively down".:->

Seriously, where I work since alot of our circuit are located in

various locations within a number of our building we make use

of what we call an Automatic Network Control Circuit (ANCC)

system which logically maps our DCE devices from our Demarc

to our NOC equipment area.

Nonetheless, in answering Priscilla's question there is no

one answer to the question. Basically, if the CSU/DSU is

configured with a mismatch on the framing then the router

port will come up/up. If the encoding is mismatched then

this will cause the CSU/DSUs to lose "SYNC". Technically

this will cause the router port to continually flap(up/down).

When the CSU/DSU is configured correctly with the

bandwidth(the configuration of the DSO slots(Nx64))

mismatch, this will allow the equipment to "SYNC" and

the router ports will indicate up/up, however no data

will traverse the link.

 

John, is very correct in that the DTR on the DTE device

has to be asserted for the DCE device and obviously for

the DTE device to indicate an up/up.

Howard, also brings up a good point in that framing and

encoding does relate to layer one. Question? If encoding

and framing are thought of as sub-layers of layer1, then

what parallel can be drawn to other layered tecnologies

 that would allow/indicate an active interface without all the

requirements being met. (i.e ISDN, ATM, and an IP interface)

 

Chuck, I took your comments to heart and took down a

number of of T1 customers to prove my noted few points.:->

I hope youre happy.

Nigel

Re: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Bob Timmons

Ok, I have a backup frame relay that I can test on.  Here's my findings:

I have an Excalibur ISX5311 connected to a 7206VXR.  We have a full T to the
frame using ESF framing.  The line is up/up.  I modified the framing to D4
(there appears to be no SF?), and checked the line.  It went down/down.  I
was surprised.  I expected up/down.  It was showing DCD & DTS were down.

I then put my framing back and changed the linecode.  We use B8ZS, so I
changed to AMI.  The line then started flapping up/up to down/down.  Again,
when in down/down it was showing DCT & DTS down.

Anything else I should test?

Re: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Tim Potier

I have found a good bit of conflicting information on the causes of
down/down and up/down.  All agree that down/down can be caused by:
1. no cable connection
2. CSU/DSU powered down
Some other reasons, although not consistently referenced in the literature
are:
1. Faulty cable (may also cause up/down)
2. csu/dsu failure (not specify hardware or software)(may also cause up/down)
3. router serial int hardware problem
4. a DCE router interface will be down/down if DTR is not raised by the DTE
device

There are a plethora of reasons for up/down

Not sure this clarifies, but hope it helps some

While writing some questions for a practice test, I found myself
questioning what I thought was the right answer. Here's the scenario:

A Cisco router serial interface is correctly connected with a good V.35
cable to the data port on the DSU side of a CSU/DSU. The CSU/DSU has been
misconfigured for the framing method (SF instead of ESF). The framing
doesn't match what the provider is using. (The question refers to a CSU/DSU
that is external to the router, not one that is built into the router.)

Will the Cisco router serial interface be down/down or up/down?

And, would the answer be any different if the question has to do with
misconfiguring the encoding (AMI versus B8ZS)?

If you have real-world experience with this, that would help. I have read
the Cisco documentation and the troubleshooting charts, etc.

Thanks

Priscilla

I have seen down/up, but this was on xGS routers around release 9.x. 
In those cases, it meant there was a main processor hardware (or 
rarely software) failure.

Im trying to configure authentication on my routers so far so good ,
however I would not like to have any type of authentication via
console., just in case and also if the tacacs goes down I can still get
in with local account I created.. so far if I place this on the console
line =line con 0 no authentication none
It would let me in , and if I place nothing I get promted for the
username and password on my tacacs , but wont let me enter my enable
password.?
Maybe if I understood each line I could  configure it better...

At the password prompt, if you enter your configured enable password you
get

Sounds like it's working as you have it configured, how did you want it

Slightly OT [7:47142]

2002-06-21 Thread Brian Zeitz

Our company purchased some load balancers, they seem to want to use NAT
in every configuration. I don't think it's a great idea to run NAT on an
intranet (which is what our app is going to be). Can anyone suggest a
good load balancer that is good for running on an intranet? Maybe I
should be looking at cisco. The device we are using is "Coytote Load
Balancer", Do you think a web switch would be better? Seems this device
is really for dual network design, not an intranet application. I guess
I should be looking at cisco content switches?

Re: BGP Prefix List Question [7:47117]

2002-06-21 Thread Paulo Roque

I have developed a method.

I draw a generic rule like this:

lenge-value---le-value---32

For the command  "ip prefix-list MYLIST permit prefix/24 ge 25"  I put  that
values on the rule:

len=24
ge=25 (values greater than 25 marked with *)
le= not present

2425***32

So the command "ip prefix-list MYLIST permit prefix/24 ge 25" match the
prefix length from 25 to 32.


For the command  "ip prefix-list MYLIST permit prefix/24 le 28"  I put  the
values on the rule:

len=24
ge= not present
le= 28 (values lower than 28 marked with *)

24***2832

So the command "ip prefix-list MYLIST permit prefix/24  le 28" match the
prefix length from 24 to 28.

===
Finally for the command  "ip prefix-list MYLIST permit prefix/24 ge 25 le
28". I put  the values on the rule:
len=24
ge=25
le=28

24--25***28--32

So the command "ip prefix-list MYLIST permit prefix/24  ge 25 le 28" match
the prefix from 25 to 28.

April. I recall some emails going around from people
that couldn't believe when Prometric told them that
they passed. I called at that time and they told me I
had passed. I didn't believe it either. Call Prometric
today and I think you'll find like I did that if it
seems too good to be true it usally isn't. I'm just

I agree. I think the materials Michael was looking at overgeneralized. 
Words like "only" and "always" just don't come into play with networks 
unless you're talking about the speed of light or something. ;-)

Seriously, this much I know is true:

The link between the router serial interface and the CSU/DSU (which Howard 
tells me is really a DSU) is V.35. The router acts as DTE. The CSU/DSU acts 
as DCE. (We tend to think of the switch in the provider's office as being 
DCE which is true also, but on the local level, the DSU is acting as DCE).

On a V.35 connection, this much I know is true:

DTE is responsible for DTR and RTS

DCE is responsible for Data Carrier Detect (CD), DSR, and CTS.

Numerous things can go wrong to cause the DTE or DCE not to assert one or 
more of these. They have to all be asserted for the interfaces to be up/x.

However, are all those things local to the V.35 endpoints and cabling? Or 
could a problem out the other end of the DCE (out the carrier side of the 
CSU/DSU) cause them not to be asserted? Could a misconfiguration of framing 
or encoding on an external CSU/DSU cause a problem that resulted in a 
down/down interface? I think from the answers that I'm getting that the 
answer is yes. (or at least flapping and sometimes being down/down ;-)

Thanks everyone for your help. Don't I come up with some good ones? ;-)

t/r question: hex vs decimal involving 3920 & routers [7:47148]

2002-06-21 Thread Mirza, Timur

i don't have a 3920 t/r switch on me, so i have to ask this question:

is it accurate to say that 

1. the bridge id & ring # under the t/r interface on a router is in DECIMAL?


2. the bridge id & ring # under the t/r interface on a router is in HEX? 

therefore,

if u want to assign RING 100 to BRIDGE 10 on r1-to0 & RING 200 to BRIDGE 14
on r2-to0, u would use these exact numbers on the routers under the t/r
interface...

...but on the 3920, u would configure the following (as practice, i just add
1 to the crf)

for r1-to0 connected to the 3920:

virtual bridge:

vlan id:100
vlan name:  brf100
bridge id:  A

virtual ring:

vlan id:101
vlan name:  crf101
ring #: 64

for r2-to0 connected to the 3920:

virtual bridge:

vlan id:200
vlan name:  brf200
bridge id:  E

virtual ring:

vlan id:201
vlan name:  crf201
ring #: C8

admin distance question [7:47147]

2002-06-21 Thread bergenpeak

Looking at the administrative distance values for the different
routing mechanisms.

Why would eBGP have a lower admin distance for a route than
if learned via an IGP (like OSPF or ISIS)?  Why wouldn't 
the default behavior be to prefer routes learned from the local
IGP rather than via eBGP?

Re: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

I guess the question is too hard for a practice test if NOBODY can answer
it!?

Here's the thing: Cisco says that a down/down interface means the router 
interface is not sensing a Carrier Detect signal (that is, the CD is not 
active).

Now, from my studies of V.35 I know that data carrier detect (DCD or CD) 
comes from the DCE side of the V.35 link, carried on pin 8, yadda, yadda. 
It comes from the data interface on the DSU side of the CSU/DSU.

If the router is correctly connected to the CSU/DSU, will it see CD or does 
the answer depend on whether the CSU/DSU is also correctly talking to the 
telco?

Does "carrier detect" mean literally what it sounds like it means? Would 
the CSU/DSU not assert CD if there was a problem on the telco side? And 
hence the router wouldn't see CD and would say the interface was down/down.

Not something I can easily test. Maybe I better simplify the question. ;-)

Re: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

The interface ends up being down/down if encoding and framing are 
misconfigured on the CSU/DSU? Sorry, you weren't clear about that part 
which is the part I'm desperately trying to confirm. ;-) Thanks.

Re: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

Thanks for the additional answer.

Cisco says to check the cable, yes, but they don't go so far as to say 
that's the only time you would see down/down. They say the meaning is no 
CD. Well, when is there no CD? Of course there's no CD if the cable is bad. 
I think there are other situations where there's no CD also. Cisco also 
says that down/down could be a telco problem. See here:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/itg_v1/tr1915.htm#xtocid195572

This may be one of those things that will remain a mystery. I can reword 
the sentence to make sure the reader knows to check hardware when an 
interface is down/down. I would love to say more, but I don't think I 
better without confirmation.

New search engine, and suggestion... [7:47154]

2002-06-21 Thread David j

Hello everybody. Firstly I just want to say that changing the search engine
to google was a very good idea and secondly I think that a good way for
supporting groupstudy would be to sell (at reasonable price) an annual
CD-ROM with the archives, I wouldn't like to lose such important source of
knowledge if something happens or if some day Paul doesn't want to continue
with all that...and we could consult groupstudy off-line...
It's just a suggestion, I presume that Paul have already think about
it...perhaps it isn't a good idea...opinions are welcome..

RE: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Daniel Cotts

And to add some more confusion - some CSU/DSUs (Larscom) use a EIA-530
cable. In Europe either X.21 or V.35 are used depending on country and (I
think) speed.
I am guessing that a EIA-530 carries the same signals as a V.35 but uses a
different form factor plug (DB-25).

RE: CCIE Beta results [7:47144]

2002-06-21 Thread Frank Merrill

I did call Prometric a while back, and yes, they did indicate a passing
score, but then I asked the CCIE team to verify the validity of that
information, and they clearly said that the results had not been fully
analyzed, and that the pass/fail cut had not yet been determined.  (That was
about 2 weeks ago I think).

So, if you called Prometric, did they really give you correct info, or are
they just still making the mistake of giving out information that's not
correct?

I agree that this Beta was a bit tough, and that the current 350-001 is a
walk in the park comparatively speaking.

Good Luck!

Re: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Shawn Heisey

I've seen both down/down and up/down in real-world scenarios.  The
difference between the two seemed to be the intelligence of the CSU/DSU.

With a recent Adtran unit, it goes down/down - if the CSU is down, it
takes down the DSU.  I did not delve into the configuration to see if
this behavior could be changed.

A very old Black Box unit that I've played with will happily keep the
DSU up regardless of the state of the CSU.  This one was configured with
DIP switches, and I didn't see a way to change the behavior.

CIT 640-606 exam update [7:47160]

2002-06-21 Thread Andy Barkl

The CCNP CIT exam pool of questions was revised recently and the new exam
number is 640-606, but the questions on the new exam are still multiple
choice and there are a few drag and drop or pick and place if you prefer.
This exam is no more difficult than the prior version in my opinion and it
shouldn't give you much trouble once you've taken the three other CCNP exams.
The exam details as of June 21, 2002 are 58 questions in 90 minutes and the
passing score is 776 on a scale of 300-1000.

I will be writing a complete article on my exam experience and my
recommendations for tackling this one which will be available soon at
www.TCPMag.com

Good luck on your next exam!

RE: Emergency problem with async interface configuration [7:47161]

2002-06-21 Thread Kelly Cobean

If you are using RADIUS to authenticate your users, you can have RADIUS send
the "framed-ip-address" attribute-value pair to the client, effectively
using RADIUS to issue IP addresses based on client username.  There may be a
similar way with TACACS or TACACS+, but I'm not familiar with these.

CL: in my old dial up to the BBS days, I always interpreted "carrier" as
essentially a completed telephone call. I've carried that "idea" into the T1
world I live in now. however, I think we all know the problem with Frame or
ATM, where the line is up ( i.e. there is carrier ) because of LMI or the
ATM equivalent signalling, so dial backup doesn't kick in, even though end
to end is down.

RE: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Roberts, Larry

I have seen down/up on an Ethernet interface before.

On the older code of PIX's (5.x) , interfaces were required to be connected
even if they were shutdown for a failover config. This was for keepalive
purposes...
You would end up with an admin down/up, as it was shutdown, but still
receiving keepalives...
Talk about a condition to make you scratch your head...

I have seen down/up, but this was on xGS routers around release 9.x. 
In those cases, it meant there was a main processor hardware (or

RE: OSPF, when is it time for more than area 0 (try 2) [7:47165]

2002-06-21 Thread Kelly Cobean

Here are some commands you can run, and their significance in determining
whether your OSPF Area 0 routers are working too hard or not:

#show ip ospf:
   Look for:
   "SPF algorithm executed xxx times" - I don't know what constitutes a
high number, but if it's in the hundreds or thousands after a relatively
short period of time, that means that instabilities in your network are
causing the routers to frequently run the Dijkstra (SPF) algorithm, which is
a very processor intensive process.

#show processes cpu:
   Look for:
"OSPF Hello" - Again, I'm not sure what "high" is, but one of our
routers that has 1 Broadcast interface, and 13 Point-to-point interfaces
holds steady at 0.06% processor utilization.  Anyone care to chime in on
what a high number for this process would be?
"OSPF Router" - This is the one that will spike during SPF
calculation, so watch the 5 minute utilization here, if you see it
consistently high, that probably means it's time to move to multi-area OSPF

#show processes memory | include OSPF: (the "| include OSPF" just helps
minimize the junk)
Look for:
OSPF Hello & OSPF Router - Not real sure about OSPF Hello, but I believe the
memory counter for OSPF router indicates the size of your databases.  If you
find these growing large enough to start running the router out of memory,
it's time to move to multi-area OSPF (again, I don't know what size of
network it would take to do this, sorry.  Any takers on that one?)


The number of SPF calculations and CPU utilization are the two big ones to
watch our for (and are directly linked to one another)  If you see lots of
re-calc's and they are holding your processor hostage, then you should start
thinking about redesign.

network elements and number of subnets on these routers.

What commands, and specifically, what information provided by

Re: serial interface down/down or up/down [7:47101]

2002-06-21 Thread Roy Bender

Hi Everyone, I am new to this group and I just passed my CCIE written and am
looking forward to participating.

I have done a lot of lease line installs the last couple of years, and I
have worked with EIA-530, V.35, G.703, EIA-232 etc...Most of these installs
required me to go through an additional pieces of equipment like a hardware
encryption unit or an additional set of CSU/DSU’s to extend the circuit
while maintaining the carriers Demarc point. Anyway, I have been required to
make numerous cables to make things talk. And during troubleshooting/testing
with a breakout box I discovered that the only signal required to bring the
serial port up was a high on DCD/CD with all other leads open. Just
something to think on. Cheers

RE: CCIE Beta results [7:47144]

2002-06-21 Thread Kaminski, Shawn G

Prometric may be giving out accurate information at this point, unless they
just get off by messing with our minds. The first time I called (about two
weeks ago) they said I had passed, which I couldn't believe because I didn't
even study for it and was only curious to see what was on the beta. I called
today and they said that I had failed, which was more in line with my
expectations.

Try the Atlanta Cisco users group.  They have study sessions for CCNA

HSRP [7:47177]

2002-06-21 Thread Tim Potier

Lets say I have HSRP configured on a series of routers... I know clients are
sending packets to the MAC/IP of the well known "virtual MAC" with Cisco
equipment.  Assume the receiving station recieves the packet directly from
the router participating in HSRP with the highest priority... what is the
source MAC the receiving station sees?

Re: 678 cbos upgrade [7:46374]

I have tried this and gotten nowhere, mostly because I do not get a prompt
at all via console.  My term settings r all correct, verified at work
via a 2511, and I tried the ctrl-c during boot as an option to get to a
rommonish prompt.  Theres this red light on onside that does not turn off.
Online docs talk about,"Use the monitor's xmodem download procedure to
recover."  Monitor's xmodem download procedure?  What monitor? What r they
talkin about when they say monitor?

Re: CIT 640-606 exam update [7:47160]

2002-06-21 Thread

Hmmm, not sure if I agree with that based on my experiences with the 606 
beta and the 506 exam.  I took the beta back on march 18 and failed 
(according to prometric anyway, I still dont have any official results and 
it isnt showing on the tracking system), so I took the 640-506 exam this 
week (booked before the change to -606).

I found the beta exam I took in March, really difficult and had a feeling 
that I had failed when I left the test center. On the other hand I found 
the 640-506 exam that I took this week really simple. Admitedly it is 
possible that I somehow learnt a lot between march and this week, but I 
dont think I have learnt that much since then. There were a number of areas 
where I recall tough (for me at least) questions in the beta that I 
focussed on before this last test, but found that there just werent many 
questions about them in this test.

Just my $0.02

RE: Cable Modem DHCP problem [7:47175]

2002-06-21 Thread Mark Odette II

Randy-

The assumption is that you had a PC hooked up to the cablemodem prior to
the current expectation to use the router as the Ethernet host behind
the cablemodem.

Whether or not this is true or not doesn't really matter, but...

... in all of my experiences over the last 6 months, pretty much every
cablemodem provider has their equipment set up in such a way that the
first one or two MAC addresses that are connected to the cablemodem for
Internet access are recorded in some MAC Database and paired with the
"extended" DHCP lease you get.  The only real way to clear these MAC
entries from the DB is to call tech-support and tell them you are
replacing the network card in your computer, and need to have the MAC
table for your modem reset.
It's is advisable to NOT tell them you are hooking up a router to it, as
they will immediately "go stupid" and tell you they don't support such a
scenario - like as if a router's Ethernet interface is any different
than any other Ethernet interface!

Once they have the MAC table reset, they most probably will remotely
reset the cablemodem, or have you power cycle it.  This will allow for
the learning of the new MAC address to associate with your DHCP lease.

This is most probably why you can't get on the net at the current time
with your DHCP lease.

Let us know if this fixes your problem!

Good Luck!

Mark
