Subinterfaces [7:71421]

2003-06-26 Thread Srivathsan Ananthachari
Hi,


Any ideas on why encapsulation is not allowed on individual FR
subinterfaces but rather on the physical interface only..??

TIA

I would think that the physical interface can only support 1 type of
layer1/2 
Encapsulation at one time..either frame or hdlc etc..

Hi,

Well, encapsulation is done prior to placing the packets(Frames) to the
physical medium - I guess it should be done on the physical interface.

I would be interested in what other members have to say, but I think it
makes sense that it should be on the physical interface.

In DLCI Prioritization , what's a primary DLCI , is it the dlci
specified in the

frame-relay interface dlci   command

( is it XX ) ??

Can you create priority-dlci-group in a physical interface ( major
interface like serial 0 for eg.,  I understand it can be done in a
sub-interface )..??

RE: Subinterfaces [7:71421]

2003-06-26 Thread Mwalie W
Hi,

I think your questions are quite in order and there is no reason to feel
that you are dragging it on 

What is the purpose of encapsulation (data-link layer)? To enable
transportation of upper-layer data on the physical medium, right?

It may help in this particular case to look at, for example, the fields that
comprise the Frame Relay frameFlags, Address, data, FCS, Flags.

The Address field contains the DLCI, representing the connection between a
DTE and the Switchthis is a layer 2 address (DLCI)

So, the encapsulation should actually be on the physical interface, not the
software (sub)interface.

May be:)

Take this with a grain of salt because I'm pulling this from the rear-most
vaults of my brain.  It seems to me that you want to use 'dialer dtr' on the
serial interface so that it raises DTR when it wants to dial.  Then you
configure your modem with the number you want to dial and set it to dial out
when it sees DTR go high.  

That might be the trick, or it might not.  :-)  

HTH,
John

RE: Subinterfaces [7:71421]

2003-06-26 Thread Zsombor Papp
Hi,

since you also brought in the network layer into the discussion, I think it 
would be good to discuss some more generic questions than what you asked 
originally (specifically about serial/frame relay):

a.) Why do I need to assign an encapsulation on the physical interface?

b.) Why can I have only one encapsulation on a physical interface?

c.) Why can't I specify an encapsulation on the subinterface level?

My answers:

a.) "Encapsulation" in this context really means "data format". The purpose 
of specifying an encapsulation on the physical interface is to let the 
router know what is the ultimate format that should enter and especially 
*leave* the router on that particular *physical* interface. You can't 
receive/send data on a subinterface per se, you can only *logically* assign 
the already received data to a subinterface based on the information you 
extracted from the data you already received. So what would you do without 
having an encapsulation assigned to the physical interface? Would you check 
for every possible L2 format, say ATM cells on Ethernet interfaces? :)

b.) If the encapsulation/decapsulation is done in hardware, and the 
interface hardware supports only one encapsulation per physical interface 
at a time, as Larry alluded to earlier, then you obviously can have only 
one encapsulation per physical interface. More importantly though: how 
would you decide in which format the information needs to be sent out if 
you had more than one encapsulation?

c.) In general, you can. In the case of Ethernet interfaces for instance, 
you can specify encapsulation on a subinterface level. In fact I seem to 
remember that you *had* to specify it on a subinterface level for a while, 
and it was in fact the encapsulation type that selected the subinterface. 
The reason for this behavior is that "Ethernet" has two sub-layers within 
Layer 2, so even there you have an implied encapsulation assigned to the 
physical interface (the lower of the two sub-layers,  the IEEE 
802.3/Ethernet II format), and only the higher layer (layer 802.2) 
encapsulation is assigned to a subinterface. There was a lengthy discussion 
about Ethernet encapsulations on this list a few days ago, btw.

At this point, the more specific question is in order:

d.) Why can I not specify any encapsulation on a Serial sub-interface in IOS?

Well, perhaps because the encapsulation you specified at the physical level 
(see above why you have to have that) took care of everything that you 
would characterize as "encapsulation". This of course doesn't mean that all 
the packets assigned to a subinterface are the same, but for some reason we 
don't speak about "IP encapsulation" vs. "IPX encapsulation" and the like.

>If it's possible to assign a network address ( IP / IPX viz., ) to the
>FR sub-interface why not be able to specify encap as well..??

Network addresses don't specify the data format, they are the data 
themselves. If you wanted to ask "how come I can run IP and IPX on the same 
interface", then the answer is "because something at a lower layer will 
usually indicate what kind of packet you are receiving".

Thanks,

Zsombor

Re: Subinterfaces [7:71421]

2003-06-26 Thread Thomas Larus
Your point about frame map statements and layer 3 addresses brings up and
interesting point.  You CAN have a different kind of frame-relay
encapsulation on different PVCs, and you do this with frame relay map
statements.

I don't have time to test it now, but I remember learning that to use frame
relay IP TCP header compression, you have to use the proprietary Cisco frame
relay encapsulation.  So if you want to use frame relay IP TCP header
compression or RTP header compression on a PVC, you configure compression
using a frame map statement and that PVC then uses Cisco FR encaps (I think
it is automatically transformed into a cisco FR encaps PVC).

Similarly, if you have frame relay IP TCP header compression on the physical
interface, you can turn off compression on a per-PVC basis using your frame
map statements ("nocompress" comes at the end).

So, you CAN have different encapsulations on a per PVC, sort of.   I think
all this business of cisco  encapsulation working on a PVC when the
interface is set to ietf (and the frame relay switch is configured for ietf)
works because the FR switch doesn't really care what kind of FR
encapsulation is used on each PVC, while it does care a lot about the
lmi-type.  The remote router needs to be set to the correct kind of FR
encapsulation, though (but, again, this can be set per PVC.)

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong in any particular.  I would
hate to have misremembered all or some of this.

Probably the dumbest question that will be asked all day [7:71447]

2003-06-26 Thread Mark Smith
I have a router (actually a pair of them in HSRP but that's irrelavent) that
connects two networks in non-contiguous IP address ranges through a 100MB
F/E TX port on the inside to an ISP network on the outside, also via a 100MB
F/E TX port, at a colo facility. I have a half of a hundred MB pipe to the
outside world. The two networks behind the router are independent of each
other, seperated by PIX's behind the routers but, on occasion, they do
communicate with each other. I currently have a primary and secondary IP
address set on the inside F/E interface, one for each network.  I've never
seen any mention if sub-interfaces being used in Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
interfaces in any Cisco literature. They primarily seem to be mentioned in
regards to serial interfaces. Is there an advantage to using sub-if's here
over a primary and secondary IP address? Any packet filtering is handled by
the PIX's so I don't ever foresee the use of access-lists on the router.
This router simply routes packets. I don't foresee the use of more than two
networks inside but I suppose that's a slight possibility down the road if I
would need more IP addresses and couldn't get contiguous addresses.  I'm not
sure if you can use more than a single secondary address on an interface or
if you can pnly use a single one. I guess I'm not sure if "recommended
practice" would be to always use sub-if's when connecting more than one
network to any interface, use sub's only with serial i/f's and use
primary/secondary addresses with F/E interfaces or if it's time to consider
adding more F/E modules with 2 or more networks. I've used this
primary/secondary config for a couple of years and it's worked fine but, as
my colo facility is Sprint and they've decided to get out of the hosting
biz, it would be a good time for me to reconfigure things during the move if
there is an advantage in doing so.
Thanks.

RE: serial interface and pinging [7:71391]

2003-06-26 Thread Daniel Cotts
Weird but useful. Great way to troubleshoot a serial line. Divide and
conquer. The equipment at each end can be taken off line (one end at a time)
and a loopback put in place. The other end pings its own address. The ping
packets traverse the line to the loopback and return. Various bit patterns
can be used. If the problem clears, there's a good indication the off-line
equipment is at fault.

A physical interface can support more than one encapsulation. It just
depends on who it thinks is going to understand the encapsulation.

The router talks to the first switch in the Frame Relay cloud, but it could
also talk to more than one router across the cloud.

To talk to the switch you have to have the right LMI, as we all know.

The encapsulation command has to do with the router(s) at the other end.
They could be using cisco or IETF and there's no good reason for Cisco to
make it difficult for this to be different for different PVCS to different
routers.

Actually Cisco doesn't make it all that difficult. You can add encapsulation
to the end of a map statement.

I never said that.  Corporate management can indeed be wrong - but not for
long.  Slowly but eventually, the free market adjusts.

For example, right now, what if Harvard all of a sudden got really easy -
easy to be admitted to, easy to graduate from, just all-around easy?  For a
few years, people wouldn't know and those guys who happened to be Crimson
during that time would be living it up, because people would be thinking
that they're just as good as previous alum, when they're not.  But
eventually word would get out, and the value of that degree would plummet.

The same thing happened with the ccie.  It took awhile for information about
the 1-day change to filter out, but eventually it did and now all new CCIE's
are, unfortunately, paying the price.  And just like what would happen if
Cisco decided to restore the rigor of the exam - for awhile, nobody would
notice but eventually people would discover that the new ccie's really are
surprisingly good and they would adjust accordingly.

But I know where you're going, you want to take this back to the old
discussion of how you believe companies are slowly changing to de-emphasize
the college degree for hiring purposes (see, I have my own decoder ring
too).  Unfortunately, I cannot find any evidence of such a change, and if
anything, I am finding the exact opposite.  Consider the following articles:

"...the wage ratio between college and high school graduates reversed and
began a long-term rise. By 1985, the ratio had reached 1.6, and by 1994, it
reached nearly 1.8. This pattern has also appeared in other countries..."

http://www.hawaii.gov/dbedt/hecon/he11-98/value.html

"The main index of the return to human capital investment, the Dow Jones
Average of the labor market as it were, is the wage premium paid to workers
with a college degree relative to the wage for those with just a high school
diploma. In 1980, this premium was about 35 percent (close to its all time
low); by the mid–1990s, the college wage premium had risen to an all time
high of over 70 percent (roughly double its level just fifteen years
earlier). The rise in the college premium was mirrored in other educational
returns as well. The premium for a graduate degree, like those being
conferred on many of you here today, has also doubled, from roughly 45
percent in 1980 to more than 90 percent by the mid–1990s. Hence, measured
broadly, the economic value of higher education roughly doubled in the
fifteen years from 1980 to 1995, a rather incredible change. "

2003-06-26 Thread douglas mizell
Jeez,

 That is ridiculous, the program is run by Cisco, a private 
corporation. It is not a government entity and requiring those types of 
prerequisites makes no sense. How do you quantify experience anyway? What 
about a guy who has fifteen years in the industry, gets his CCIE but has 
worked on the same technology, same network etc for years, he is not working 
with new technology so has no real experience with it either. A "labrat" as 
you call it has taken the time to explore the new stuff and will at least 
have an idea how to work with it in a production environment. There are two 
side to this arguement but I think there are a few who seem to be angry that 
a motivated individual is able to study and pull off something that they 
believe is reserved for only experienced engineers. It would not be in 
Cisco's best interest to load the CCIE with unnecessary baggage. The fact is 
that if you can pass the test you are probably an above average guy 
technically and have the potential to learn and master just about anything 
that could reasonably be expected of a network engineer.

Look, first of all, I'm obviously not endorsing that anybody with x years of
experience are automatically handed a ccie number.  They would still have to
pass the test just like anybody else.

Therefore the idea is simple.  You use a minimum number of years of
experience to eliminate the labrats.  So instead, you get router-caressers
(hmmm, sounds like some people enjoy networking a little too much).  You
then eliminate those guys with the test itself - if that highly experienced
person didn't actually learn how to do all those things you mentioned, then
it's unlikely that he would pass the test.

Now obviously, this is imperfect.  You will still have some guys who carress
routers (man, that just sounds disgusting) and the

Wow,

   There are some big words being tossed around, I had to look 
one up in the dictionary. I subscribe to this list for technical insight 
from alot of people who are much smarter than I and willing to help because 
that is the type of people they are. I never expected a vocabulary lesson to 
boot, I learn something every time I take the time to read through this 
list. The things being discussed such as certification values, salaries, 
management styles etc. are all extremely subjective. I personally think it 
is rare in this industry today to find a position where you as a network 
professional are really a "valued" member of an organization. In most cases, 
unless the core business is IT then we are considered overhead, in some 
cases expensive overhead. Most managers I have worked for including my 
present management have a very vague idea of what a CCIE is and absolutely 
no clue what it takes to become one. For that matter, certifications period 
are window dressing in their opinion. It used to be fairly common for 
companies to encourage, reward and even fund technical training in pursuit 
of XYZ certification because it was in their interest as well. I have not 
had a manager in the last seven years who cared one way or the other if I 
pursued a certification and to get him/her to pony up to pay for it...forget 
it!! This industry has changed dramatically and has, but for a select few, 
become every man for himself. There is no loyalty in either direction and 
job security is now a buzzword for headhunters, it does not exist in most 
corporations today. No sour grapes here, I just see it for what it is and 
play my cards accordingly.

Best of look to all,

RE: change my groupstudy e-mail address [7:71431]

I believe that the easiest way is to go to

And unsubscribe, then subscribe again with your new address. There may a
another way, but last time I had to change my I address this worked for

.. and you installed some additional Flash. My guess is the old bootROMs
don't recognize your new flash. Best bet is to update the bootROMs. - Just
took a look at an old 2501 - it has Intel chips on the Flash - and did have
old bootROMs.
The ancient GroupStudy archives should have specific info on which Brands of
Flash the old boxes used.

Seems like you have a bad flash module.
You may want to change one of the modules to see if the problem goes a way.

RE: Probably the dumbest question that will be asked all day [7:71457]

2003-06-26 Thread Mark Smith
I never tried using sub's on the the LAN interface. I could have used VLAN's
at the time I initially set it up but didn't see a need for it at the time
(still don't unless it's the officiallly Cisco-blessed method and then I'd
just be curious as to why). I just set up a secondary and then later on I
got to wondering if I was "doin' the right thing".

It ain't broke. Guess I don't need to fix it.

Ask your router. I did, and it said:

% Configuring IP routing on a LAN subinterface is only allowed if that
subinterface is already configured as part of an IEEE 802.10, IEEE 802.1Q,
or ISL vLAN.

:)

In other words, secondary IP addresses will do just fine. And btw you can
have more than one per interface (up to 255, or so?).

You might also want to check out the other thread about encapsulations and
such.

On an Ethernet subinterface you can specify the VLAN tagging method using an
encapsulation command. That is specific to a router that is doing inter-VLAN
routing and needs to tag frames and you want to specify ISL or IEEE 802.1Q
tagging. In general you can't specify the encapsulation used on Ethernet
interfaces or subinterfaces.

802.1Q isn't really an encapsulation, in that it inserts a shim rather than
surrounding the original frame, but that's for another discussion.

You can't tell an Ethernet interface to use 802.2 except within the IPX
network commands. Maybe you're thinking of the 802.1Q VLAN tagging standard.

But that's not what the discussion said! ;-)

Ethernet encapsulation depends on the upper layer, which isn't like
encapsulation on a serial interface.

IP uses Ethernet Version 2:
Dest Src Type (no sublayers)


BPDUs use IEEE 802.3 and 802.2
Dest Src Length DSAP SSAP Control


CDP, VTP, AppleTalk use IEEE 802.3, 802.2, SNAP
Dest Src Length DSAP SSAP Control SNAP


IPX can use any of those three or novell-ether (raw)
Dest Src Length


Encapsulation is set with the IPX network-layer commands becuase IPX
supports 4 methods. The only major exception is for VLAN tagging. Then you
can specify encapsulation with a subinterface to say whether you want ISL or
802.1Q.


Ethernet encapsulation behavior isn't much like encapsulation on serial
interfaces, which can only be one of the major categories: HDLC, PPP, Frame
Relay. But Frame Relay has 2 varieties.

That's always a good guidance :), however I might have misunderstood the 
original question (I thought you were asking about subinterfaces without 
vlans). If you are interested in the advantage of using vlans over 
secondary IP addresses, then there are some. For example, vlans decrease 
the broadcast domain, ie. hosts on one VLAN won't drive hosts on other 
VLANs crazy by sending lots of broadcast packets. I also seem to remember 
that some routing protocols (OSPF or ISIS?) used to have some issues with 
secondary IP addresses. Unfortunately I don't recall the specifics.

Thanks,

RE: Probably the dumbest question that will be asked a [7:71447]

2003-06-26 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer
It's not a dumb question, as far as I can tell, but it's awfully hard to
parse due to your stream of consciousness style and lack of paragarpahs.
White space is a good thing. :-)

There's nothing wrong with IP secondary addresses as far as I know. They can
come in handy. And yes you can have multiple ones. At some point you should
design your network more hierarchically and get rid of them perhaps, but
that's for another thread.

The one caveat is that packets in and out the same interface, for the few
cases that you mentioned that they do communicate (through this interface?),
you need to enable fast switching. It's not on by default. And h...
I can't remember the command. Maybe somebody else will remember it.

The rumor that secondary addresses are bad has to do with IPX. When
supporting more than one encap for IPX you can do it with secondary or
subinterfaces. Cisco said they were going to discontinue support for
secondary. I don't think they ever did. And they caused lots of confusion
because people assumed they were talking about IP too, which they weren't.

In the IP world, secondary addresses can be very useful, especially for what
you're describing where you have two sets of addresses on one LAN, and maybe
more than two in the future.

Subinterfaces are for VLANs as mentioned in other messages (and IPX multiple
encaps.)

In my experience, networking books at the brick store are often related to
certification, as that's a big market. (So is web technology, in all its
various flavors -- the other 3 racks of books). Within the certification
universe, MCS is _big_, CCNA is fairly big, the plus series (especially A+,
but some of the others) are fairly big, and CISSP seems quite popular the
past few months.

CCIE books are often present (some of which are even good ;-)). But the
middle-range or intermediate certification books are somehow always missing.
I geenerally order from Amazon, or the author's website.

I think people tend to forget that secondaries and subinterfaces are 
not freely interchangeable, although they do have many common 
characteristics.  Indeed, there are times when using secondaries on 
subinterfaces makes perfectly good sense. There are times to use 
secondaries alone (e.g., healing discontiguous networks on 
point-to-point lines). There are times to use VLANs alone (e.g., 
separating broadcast domains; connecting multiple physical LAN 
segments).

The key difference is the L3:L2 relationship. Let me restrict this to 
broadcast media for simplicity.

A subinterface assumes one subnet maps to one broadcast domain.  A 
secondary address maps multiple subnets to the same broadcast domain.

Mapping multiple subnets to a common broadcast domain can be bad for 
performance, especially if there are ill-formed multicast or 
broadcast implementations around.  But if the multicasters are well 
disciplined, the combination of secondaries and subinterfaces, for 
example, can be very useful in supporting multiple DHCP servers on 
several subnets.

A digression, I suppose, but one thing that I particularly hate is 
the ability to put a port into several VLANs. Cisco did this as a 
competitive response to a 3Com feature, and, as far as I'm concerned, 
it's to be condemned in IP networking. The feature made some sense in 
NetBIOS over data link, where you had to broadcast to resolve 
addresses, and there was no network layer.

But now, if you are in an IP world, and someone says to use this 
technique to share a printer across several VLANs, you now put the 
constraint on the _host_ to be able to support secondaries.

Greetings,

I need some pointers with rate-limiting and hopeing you guys can help 
me out.  We have a DS3 ckt in one of our sites and need to limit their 
traffic to 8Mb to internal traffic and 2Mb if traffic destined to the 
web.  My concern is packet drops when the threshold reachs either the 8 
or 2 meg limit.

You have a BAD ASIC on your module. RMA baby!  What kind of module is
it? I have seen many issues with the 6348 blades as ASIC's failing. With the
6348 mod, ASIC's come in 12 port clusters per ASIC.. when the ASIC's fail to
process, you get Coil errors.. You can either, move your connections to a
different ASIC on the asme module, or blade, but your probably better off
RMAing it in case of future problems..

Several ways.  In an actual certification context, the Nortel 
architect level certification requires that you submit five writeups 
of networks you have implemented, followed by an open-book design 
exercise that has realistic, not speed-typist, requirements.  All of 
these writeups are graded by a board of human experts, which 
obviously limits the scalability of the program.

The idea of presenting case studies is one of the methods used by 
medical specialty boards. Admittedly, they have the advantage of 
being able to approve residencies (or equivalents for nonphysicians), 
and require successful completion of an appropriate program.  But for 
board certification, there are still oral examinations and case 
presentations.

In the pre-1995 days of CCSI certification, there was no exam per se, 
just a variable period -- often several weeks -- of in-person oral 
exams, team and observed teaching, and lab exercises, that still just 
got you a provisional certification. Your full certification came 
after several months of satisfactory class evaluations.

Interestingly, the old CCSI program was extremely flexible. I 
remember several occasions where it turned out I was the expert in 
residence (e.g., on OSI addressing) on a particular topic, and an 
ad-hoc workshop was set up, both to evaluate my presentation but also 
pick my brain.

The CCIE program was introduced in mid-1993, so it's newer than CCSI. 
Sometime in 1995, the CCSI format changed to something more scalable, 
involving passing a written and coming to Cisco for two days of 
"charm school" and observed teaching. In the pre-1995 CCSI, there was 
rarely more than one or two people being evaluated, so you could have 
multiple proctors evaluating at the same time.

Returning to your original point, I have much less concern with 
"years of experience" than the ability to perform in the real world 
and explain what you did.  I recognize this may be more difficult 
when the emphasis is configuration and troubleshooting, but it's 
still do-able: give writeups of how you solved particular and 
challenging problems.

The ability to describe and document a troubleshooting approach is 
extremely valuable -- it speaks directly to things that you would do 
as a senior staffer and presumably mentor. I have some questions that 
I use in interviewing people where I tell them I really don't expect 
them to have the exact answer (although I'd be pleased if they did), 
but I'm looking for them to be able to make me understand how they 
approach the problem.

One of the first five CCIEs uses a related strategy. He'll interview 
by giving you symptoms and asking what your next steps would be, with 
his giving you results.  A favorite question is based on a 
two-router, two-serial line production environment where the routers 
were moved during the night, and the people doing the move 
accidentally switched the serial cables to the wrong routers.  In the 
example, all the routers were running IGRP, so it wasn't that you 
didn't get some meaningful protocol activity -- but lots of very 
weird things as well.

Okey Dokey - understood. If you're just playing around that's fine.

You may have a few options. You could use your /29 for the subnet between
router and Pix, but then you lose two of your 6 available addresses for the
router and the Pix. Although you can grab some of these back, for instance
by using port redirection on the outside interface of the Pix, so that port
80 goes to one of your web servers and 53 to one of your DNS servers etc.
The other 4 addresses can be set up as static NAT through the Pix.
Use Global (outside) 1 interface for outgoing connections to save using one
of your addresses for general PAT.

You could use a private address between the router and the Pix and just
route your /29 at the Pix, then do NAT from there. You don't lose any of the
8 addresses then. You could still do port redirection, so one IP address
doesn't have to be one server. Do as before and chip off port 80 for your
web, and 53 for DNS etc.

Good Luck

I trimmed down some of my extra fluff in the quote, sorry, just read 
the older archives with the same thread name.

Oh I never suggested that either, I just said this initial 
"filtering" process is not clear cut, and we might be filtering 
innocent, bright individuals.

Right.  I am saying, it is NOT the number of years that matter, is it 
the quality of the number of years.  One year of hardened fire 
fighting, troubleshooting, advanced deployment, cut over experience 
is sure worth a lot more than...three years of  "maintaining the 
network" aka Router Carresser.  But who gets to judge the ratio?

So, do we 'weight' the one year of hardened experienced more?  Or 
less?  I am not talking about the exam yet, just, what about the 
legitimate people you are filtering out?  What if they make it "three 
years of experience" because that is how long it takes for the 
"average" IT guy to figure out that Netbios can run over TCP/IP?

What about the guy who figured it out in 5 minutes?  Surely we do not 
want to disqualify him just because he figured it out in 5 minutes?  
Of course not, so how do those guys still benefit?

Perhaps that is true.  (I am not going to argue either way, but I 
think it's debatable. :) )

However, this is akin to the scorched earth tactic.  I suppose until 
we find out how many people passed the CCIE, are considered 
WORTHWHILE, and find out how many years of experience they had, we 
will not know how many "innocent" victims we will fry with this 
tactic.

If you are okay with frying X number of "innocent, bright" people (I 
would be very interested in the statistics myself), then sure, we 
should do it, just like the CISSP.  (which I strongly disagree with 
myself)

My argument is, should we really be frying those innocent people when 
I see far more 'hardened' experience people worth far more than the 
router carressers?  Odds are those hardened experience people also 
have faster learning capabilities to keep up.  Those are very good 
people we are potentially filtering out.

No, I am thinking about the IPX case. Using multiple different 
encapsulations on a single physical interface used to be a typical question 
in the CCIE lab, that's why I remember it. I've never had to use it ever 
since, so I might have said something incorrectly, but I don't see what 
that was. I quickly looked at this page:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios111/mods/4mod/4cbook/4cipx.htm

and I think it confirmed what I said (search for "subinterface" within the 
page), but I wouldn't mind to be corrected.

I think I am missing the point here. Obviously they aren't the same, 
otherwise it would be foolish to give them such different names :), but I 
do think that the Ethernet encapsulations play a very similar role to the 
serial encapsulations (only in a different situation).

If you mean that the original question was very Frame Relay and Cisco IOS 
implementation specific, and compared to that my answer was too generic and 
theoretical, then you are probably right. :)

I cite that noted networking authority, Leslie Nielsen, in his

Walking to the instrument, he reached out and stroked it softly,

In that case, nrf, I suggest you do not meditate deeply on the

I don't remember the specifics, but I believe Nortel did something 
like this for your case study writeups for the Architect 
certification. Might have been a letter, might have been spot 
checking.

One of the issues that I keep coming back to is that highly verified 
certifications, be it a professional engineer, medical certification, 
etc., which may use oral exams, peer-reviewed documents, etc., tend 
not to be highly scalable or lend themselves to scaling the way it 
would seem Cisco would like.

Of course, this is rough for the people that worked on sensitive or 
classified networks (I can tell you what the candidate built, but 
then I'll have to kill you).

Mind you, I have a friend that was updating the cabling in the 
Pentagon, who still claims she put a test set on a random wire and 
got the following telegraph message:

 Many Indians. Send help.

  Custer

:-)

Actually, not so :-), when we have the reality that a command post 
heard 30-odd successive SOS messages, interspersed with "we are being 
boarded", from the USS Pueblo, and dismissed it as "operator chatter".

policy based routing and backup [7:71482]

2003-06-26 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all.  I have a question that I would like your opinion on.  I have 2
routers each with a T1 to the upstream provider.  Both routers are running
eBGP to each provider only accepting partial routes and a default from each.
In additon, each router is peering with each other via iBGP through a
directly connected ethernet link which is also running ospf.  


ISPA  ISPB
 | |
 | |
RtrA---ibgp---RtrB


Router A advertisements:
a.a.a.a
b.b.b.b w/prepend


Router B advertisements:
b.b.b.b
a.a.a.a w/prepend



Everything is working as I would expect it.  I have access into the network
if either one of the T1 goes down.  If I ping or traceroute sourcing it from
any interface from within RtrA to an IP address on the net, the packets goes
out based on longest match and preferred route based on local-pref.  This
results in almost always going through RtrB.  This used to be acceptable.  

I would like to set up a policy on RtrA to match on source address of
a.a.a.a to always (as long as RtrA T1 is up) go out RtrA T1 instead of RtrB.
So how do I set it up such that IF RtrA T1 goes down the traffic from
a.a.a.a (source) goes out RtrB T1?  Does anyone have an example on how to do
this?

OT: Early Friday Funnies [7:71487]

2003-06-26 Thread Dom
On a tour of America, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
west coast. His 4x4 Pope-Mobile was driving along the golden sands when
there was an enormous commotion. He rushed to see what it was, and upon
approaching the scene he noticed just outside the surf, a hapless man
wearing a Microsoft T-shirt, struggling frantically to free himself from
the jaws of a 20 foot shark! 

At that moment a speedboat containing three men wearing LINUX tops
roared into view. Spontaneously, one of the men took aim at the shark
and fired a harpoon into its ribs, immobilising it instantly. The other
two reached out and pulled the man from the water and then, using long
clubs, beat the shark to death. They bundled the bleeding,
semi-conscious man into the speedboat along with the dead shark and
prepared for a hasty retreat, when they heard frantic calling from the
shore.

It was the Pope, summoning them to the beach. Upon reaching land, the
Pope went into raptures about the rescue and said, "I give you my
blessing for your brave actions. I'd heard there were a divided people
trying to preach your own OS but now I have seen with my own eyes this
is not true". "I can see your society is a truly enlightened example of
tribal harmony which could serve as a model for other nations." He
blessed them all and drove off. 

As he departed, the harpoonist asked the others, "Who was that?!"
"That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct
contact with God and has access to all God's wisdom."

"Well," the harpoonist replied, "he knows  all about shark fishing.
How's the bait holding up or do we need to get another one?"

As the great (soon to be Sainted) Howard C. Berkowitz would say, What
problem are you trying to solve?"

Are you trying to limit the overall traffic on the DS3 to 10 Mb (2+8)?

Of course you will get drops when the limits are reached. RED, WRED, and
even the various queueing techniques will drop packets if there is not
sufficient bandwidth.

When you say "need to limit their traffic to 8Mb to internal traffic" is
this on both ingress and egress?

Have a search on CCO for class based policing, it may be what you are
after.

Well #3 means it doesn't work (you need at least a default route, or
0.0.0.0/0), so I'll skip that one...

Full routes from two or more providers, with no default route:
Benefits - Ability to move any prefix/AS for outbound traffic to any of the
providers.  Abilty to optimize/maximize loose-mode uRPF features.  Ability
to optimize/maximize prefix-filters/distribute-lists if you are a
transit-AS.  Ability to route 0.0.0.0/0 to Null0, aka "The Default
Free-Zone, or DFZ"
Drawbacks - More routes = more CPU and memory requirements on your routers.
However, scaling with today's equipment and a few good configurations makes
this a very small issue compared to the power you gain
Application - Tier 1 Internet Provider that doesn't receive partial routes
from anyone and gets a full routing table from all peers

Some Full routes, some Partial routes, no defaults:
Benefits - Ability to move any prefix/AS on providers receiving full routes
and some ability to move onto providers sending partial routes.  Ability to
route 0.0.0.0/0 to Null0, which is sort of like "default-free"
Drawbacks - Can't use loose-mode uRPF on all providers (but could build a
complicated strict-mode uRPF for the partial route providers).  Prefix-lists
and distribute-lists also become more complicated if you are a transit-AS
Application - Tier 2 Internet Providers, Content Providers, any company with
IP clue

Partial routes from two or more providers, with partial+default route from
one provider:
Benefits - Ability to move around some prefixes/ASes for outbound traffic to
the providers that will take that prefix/AS.  Ability to send the rest of
your traffic out the default route to the one provider
Drawbacks - Restriction to send the rest of your traffic out the default
route of only one provider
Application - Companies with IP clue that don't have the money to keep all
routers configured properly or with enough memory to hold full tables with
multiple views

Partial routes from two or more providers, with more than one provider
sending partial+default routes:
Benefits - Ability to move around some prefixes/ASes for outbound traffic to
the providers that will take that prefix/AS.  Ability to send the rest of
your traffic out any of the default routes from the providers you are
getting defaults from
Drawbacks - More than one default route can be confusing to deal with
Application - Companies that don't understand how partial+default works

Partial routes from one or more providers, with another single provider
providing only a default route:
Benefits - As Partial, with partial+default from one provider, only that
provider doesn't send partial routes.
Drawbacks - Restriction to default route for rest of traffic
Application - Companies with IP clue, but very little money and resources
(read: only have Cisco 2500 routers or equivalent)

Default routes from two or more providers with no full/partial routes:
Benefits - you are multihomed (not reliant on one Internet provider), but
only in the smallest sense of the term
Drawbacks - no ability to influence traffic
Applcation - Companies who are willing to spend the extra cost associated
with two providers, but aren't willing to upgrade their Cisco 2500 router
that has 2MB DRAM

I'm surpised at all the poor responses to this posting.

This is the Pinnacle COIL ASIC bug... very well-known on the Cat6k platform.
It affects 12 ports at a time ... (on yours it is ports 1-12), because the
Pinnacle
ASIC services 12 ports grouped together.

It only affects the WS-X6248-RJ-45 and WS-X6348-RJ-45 modules.
The bug is not a hardware-only bug, there are actually two versions of the
bug,
one is hardware and the other is software.

If you are running code < CatOS 6.x, then it is more likely the software
bug.

In both cases, you should be able to power off and power on the module to
make the error go away (no need to RMA).  I have found this to be true about
36 out of the 40 times I've done this.  Only in a few cases was it
hardware-related.
Reseating the module is the second mostly likely thing to fix the module.
However,
a soft "reset" does not seem to make the condition disappear.

Open a Cisco case and then try the following:
set module power down 6
set module power up 6

Also, you shouldn't rely on mailing-lists for this type of information, the
Cisco TAC
is the best place for Cisco bug resolution...

Oh. Your message didn't say anything about IPX. 

Also, this was a weird analogy that doesn't quite work: "only the higher
layer (layer 802.2) encapsulation is assigned to a subinterface." Ethernet
II doesn't have 802.2. Neither does novell-ether. IPX can use either of
those, as well as 802.3 with 802.2 and 802.3 with 802.2 and SNAP.

Ethernet encapsulation depends on the payload. IP uses Ethernet II, CDP uses
SNAP, etc. With the exception of IPX, it's not configurable. (Actually ARP
is configurable too for historical reasons. Long story that I can't get into
now).

That's not like encapsulation on a serial interface that doesn't care about
the upper layer.

Think about the IOS software. It has to know what it is encapsulating on
Ethernet. It doesn't on a serial interface.

That was what I meant by the behavior being different.

3com to Cisco Interoperability [7:71490]

2003-06-26 Thread Ron
I am working in a shop where we are migrating from 3Com to Cisco switches
and routers.  I am having difficulty connecting Cisco and 3Com switches at a
Gig.  I am not sure what to look into when connecting these two links
together.  Sometimes I get a link light and no communications and sometimes
I get nothing.  Are there any encapsulation issues, timing issues that
anyone can lead me in the right direction on?  I need to get these to work
together during the migration.  We are not doing any vlan trunking or
anything fancy between the two, just switching.

I am a bit surprised by this statement. Are you saying that the Ethernet 
specifications mandate the usage of, say, Ethernet II encapsulation if you 
want to transport IP packets? Frankly, I have never read the Ethernet 
specifications, but I thought that *in theory*, you can pretty much 
transport any payload in any Ethernet encapsulation, it's just *usually* 
not done. Am I mistaken? If so, can you point me to some documents that 
would enlighten me? (Seriously.)

The fact that something is "not configurable" doesn't prove anything 
outside of the scope of the IOS implementation.

As a side question, do you think that TCP must run over IP? :)

Hey, if the employer wants to do that, there is nothing wrong at all. 
What's 'wrong' is that you apparently expect them to do so.  The
employer is
obligated to compensate you for your time according to whatever
employment
agreement you arranged when you were hired, nothing more, nothing less.
If
you want to altruistically give time and effort above and beyond what is
necessary, that's your prerogative, but the employer is not obligated to
reward you for it, and if you're truly being altruistic, then you
shouldn't
have anything to complain about, because altruism means to do something
without any expectation of recompense.

Now, if you're not being altruistic and you are willing to do
extraordinary
work but because you expect a reward for it, then you should play "Let's
Make a Deal".  Tell your employer that you're willing to do
this-and-that
task but only for such-and-such an increase in compensation or a similar
arrangement.But if you don't do that, you can't complain
ex-post-facto.

I don't think it's irrelevant that Cisco IOS (and most operating systems)
only support configuring the Ethernet encapsulation for IPX.

Newbies think you can configure the Ethernet encapsulation in a generic way
and for multiple protocols. You can't, and you wouldn't want to anyway if
you want to interoperate with any other device.

You can configure the type of VLAN tagging that should be used and then
there's the IPX anomoly that we have been living with since 1981.

With Cisco IOS, the fact that you can enter a generic "encapsulation"
command on serial interfaces that affects all packets and that you can't do
this on Ethernet is an important distinction that has caused confusion for
numerous people on this list over the years. I thought it was worth further
discussion, though not this much discussion! :-)

No. Ethernet specs don't say what the payload will be.

Well, I have for what it's worth, which is not a whole lot. :-)
I've read every Ethernet spec since Bob Metcalf's original memo from 1973.

No. You're not mistaken. 

I think it's interesting and relevant that IP always uses Ethernet II on
essentially every modern operating system, even though Ethernet II is old. I
think it's interesting that other protocol developers have made other
choices for the encapsulation. I also know that it's an area of confusion
for 1000s of students of networking, especially Cisco certification
candidates, even though Cisco doesn't make you learn protocols. But I'll
help people learn protocols and you can't stop me! :-)

Has anyone try upgrading Wireless Bridge Aironet 350 Firmware?
Would the firmware be different between FCC and ETSI?
I tried to download the firmware from CCO, however the link seems to be

Regarding what Carroll Kong wrote -

 "I guess we have to wonder what Cisco's ultimate goals are. If they
decreased the lab time and altered the exam to be more 'streamlined' and
'easier', why would they immediately step backwards?"

In my experience taking the lab, I must say the 1-day lab is not necessarily
easier than the 2-day.  It may be more streamlined but it is not easier. 
The difficulty is still there.  I passed on my 5th attempt and met the 2-day
format a couple of times during my journey.  My first lab exam with some now
obsolete content (appletalk, etc.) in the picture seems easier to me now in
comparison to what I saw the last time.  Either way, I'm a proud high number
CCIE.
