Re: Off Topic - inauspicious beginning [7:45592]

2002-06-03 Thread Chuck Larrieu

haven't looked lately. In general, you can take the lab six months from now,
or you can take it tomorrow. I.e. there are always last minute
cancellations, so you can get in with very short notice. Otherwise, the wait
list is about 4 months

I picked December for a particular reason, or actually a couple of
particular reasons. I postponed from my scheduled June date.

Best wishes.

 Hey out of curiosity,  is december the soonest you can get in to the lab
 now?  How long is the wait list?

 
 
  Not worth dragging this one out much longer.
 
  the router model is 36xx, which alone should be a big clue. the router
is
  situated so I can easily get to the serial ports, leaving the aux and
con
  ports up against the wall, so I have to reach behind, feel around with
my
  fingers, find the port, and fumble around some more to plug in. all
other
  models I have worked with have the con and aux port on the same side of
the
  box as the data ports. I guess the last time I used it I was fooling
around
  with aux port settings. it just never occurred to me that I was in the
aux.
 
  DOH!
 
  On the other hand, all was not lost. I've had a good time simulating my
  customer network, checking out my policy routing etc. interesting
design. on
  the clever side if I do say so myself. works like a charm, which means
the
  implementation people either aren't getting it, or the vlans are not
  configured correctly on the switch. more on that another time.

183 days and counting. like the Flying Dutchman,  I'll pass the Lab
  if...
nope - better not make that threat. you never can tell..
   
actually, the gods of the Lab have already started with me.
   
I haven't had the routers on in quite a few weeks. Been busy at
work.
  Had
some big projects to keep me out of my own lab for a while.
   
So I have a customer network that I need to clean up a few things
on. I set up a model in my own lab, cable everything up to emulate
the customer's situation, and begin. First step - configure the
frame relay switch.
   
try to get into enable mode. Keep getting asked for a password.
Rats!
  What
is the enable password? I try the usual suspects, and come up empty.
   
no problem. I'll just do a quick password recovery. I do a search on
  CCO,
quickly locate the procedure, and begin...
   
power off. power on. control break. no luck - the router just boots
as normal.
   
hhm I've done recoveries before. no biggie. why am I
having the problem?
   
Now I know the smart guys among you will tell me it's because I use
  hyper
terminal. so I close HT, and load up my copy of Tera Term. repeat
the power off power on sequence, try alt b, and no luck. the router
loads as
  usual.
   
now I'm panicking. I have been trying this via my term server. I go
directly into the router, replacing the term server cable with a
direct
  connection.
   
still no luck. alt b with Tera term, control break with hyper term.
the router still loads as normal.
   
Well, I've figured out the problem. I've gotten into the router. I'm
happily working on my customer simulation. the frame switch is
configured as I wish.
   
the question to all of you - what was the problem? what was the
  solution?

Personally, I hold a special place in my heart for this book. I credit Clare
Gough completely for my passing ( barely ) what was then the ACRC test.
However, that was a couple of years ago. No, this is not the latest and
greatest in terms of test preparation books. On the other hand, if you have

And my offer still stands - dinner for Clare and guest on me. thanks for

 Hi All,
 I took the Cisco PIX CSPFA exam yesterday and I was
 suprised to find out that my score is 970/1000.  I've
 never worked with any type of firewalls let alone PIX
 Firewall.  I read the CSPFA book and borrowed the
 materials from a friend of mine who went to global
 knowledge training a few weeks earlier.  I am very
 disappointed with the exam.  I don't think anyone like

 myself should be able to pass the exam that easily.

 I thought yesterday's test score was a fluke so this
 morning I went and took the MCNS exam and I got a
 score
 of 960/1000.  I was completely shocked.  A few hours,
 I
 decide to sign up for the CCIE written exam.
 Amazingly
 I passed with a score of 92/100  That is unbelievable.
 To pass the exam for someone like myself really
 de-value the prestige of Cisco Certification by some
 bookworms like me.  Cisco, after all, should make the
 exam a lot harder than the way it is now.

 Anyone care to comment on this.

Re: why I can't configure scheduler allocate? [7:34579]

2002-02-06 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I can only parrot what the command references on CCO provide.  The master
reference for both 12.1 and 12.2 specifically state that the command in
question is for 72xx and 75xx routers. However, elsewhere I was able to find
reference to use of the command on 17xx routers with ADSL WICs.

My bunch of 25xx's running enterprise code do not have the command
available..

It should not be a surprise to anyone who has studied Cisco for  a while
that there are discrepancies between what the published references say and
what really can be done on routers. My most recent favorite is the show ip
protocol-discovery command which seems to appear on only one particular IOS
image for the 3620 router.

I would say at this point that your question is more properly directed to
Cisco.

  The 2nd router that only has 700 routes in it's routing
  table that it learned from it's IBGP still has the other
  103k routes in it's adj-rib-in from it's ebgp peer right,
  they are just sitting dormant?  So if the other router
  somehow lost it's ebgp peer, it'll send withdraws to the
  ibgp peer and the other guy will take over with 104k
  routes correct?

 Exactly...

  Could you define what you meant buy if an iBGP peer
  learns that another iBGP peer already has a better route
  to a specific prefix,  it will issue a withdrawl to that
  peer for the prefix(es).

 Let me see if I can articulate that a little better...


   [ eBGP ] [ eBGP ]
   [AS 701] [ AS 1 ]
   |   |
   104k|   |104K
   |   |
   |   |
   [ BGP  ] [  BGP ]
   [AS X] [AS X]
   |   |
   |

 My router that connects to AS 1 has learned roughly 104k prefixes via
 eBGP...

 My router that connects to AS 701 has also learned roughly 104k
 prefixes via eBGP...

 Via iBGP, the AS1 connected router tells my other router of the 104k
 prefixes that it has learned...

 At the same time, my AS701 connected router is transmitting the 104k
 prefixes it has learned to the AS1 connected router...

 Once each of my routers has finished their mutual exchange of routes,
 the AS701 connected router sees that for all but approximately 700
 prefixes, the AS1 connected router has an equally good path, and via
 the iBGP connection, he issues withdraws for 103.3k of the routes that
 he had previously announced to my other router...

 At this point, each of the routers has a full table learned via eBGP,
 and 'show ip route' yields about 4 gazillion pages of output...

 A 'show ip bgp' also yields a ton of output, but the AS701 connected
 router shows two entries for each prefix (One learned via the external
 peer, and one learned via the internal peer), but the AS1 connected
 router has a single entry per prefix.


  If both of those routers are receiving full routes, and
  without any other configuration, how would the routes
  learned from one provider be any better than the other?

 With no additional configuration, customer routes (those that
 originate in a directly connected external AS, or are a single hop
 away, if single homed) would be fewer AS hops away...  They would be
 preferred...

  Thanks and great post!

 Thank you...;)

 I heard the scheduler allocate was introduced in IOS ver 11.2 and I have
 just upgraded my access server (AS2509RJ) to ver 12.0(4) but still I can't
 configured it.  why?  Did I use the wrong binary?

Re: IPX Routing problem [7:34376]

2002-02-04 Thread Chuck Larrieu

has the ring of a problem I have made several posts about.

try adding no ipx route-cache on the appropriate interface of the Cisco
router.

check the very recent archives for my posts and John Neiberger's posts on
IPX problems over the past couple of weeks.

Also - tell me if that solves the problem. My customer continues to have
problems of various kinds, and my latest communication from the Cisco TAC
engineer on the case included a comment about how Cisco had no IPX over VPN
support groups. ( yes, I know your issue is not VPN, but still... )

 This should be a good one.  I switched out an old IBM 6611 for a Cisco
7204
 this weekend.  There is a point to point T-1 from COUR002 to COUR001.
 Encapsulation is still PPP (didn't want to change too much. IBM requires
PPP
 encapsulation).  People from the COUR002 router are not able to access a
 particular server hanging off a Token Ring port at COUR001.  I do a show
ipx
 servers on the COUR002 router and I see that the router is gettng the SAP
 advertisement from the server hanging off the other end of the link(as
long
 as they are not left over from before this weekend).  But my user on the
 COUR002 cannot get connected to the server like they were as of last
 Friday.  Here are the configs for the involved ports:

 COUR001
 interface TokenRing2/0
  description 2nd floor
  ip address 172.25.30.200 255.255.255.0

  no fair-queue

 We are using OSPF for routing and that seems to be fine.  My thinking is
 that for some reason IPX is fouled up. I just cant figure out where or
why.
 Any help would be appreciated.

Re: OSPF DR problem [7:34379]

2002-02-04 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Cil, I drew this one out a little differently just to put a fresh
perspective on it.  Without seeing the requirements of the particular
practice lab you are using, it's hard to say why you were seeing or not
seeing what you did.

area 0
--
||
  R1R2
||
 frame relay   area 1  ISDN area 1
||
  R9R8
||
--  -
area 2


The discontiguous area 1's are irrelevant unless there is overlapping
addressing. The area 2 is placed the way it is in order to force the
creation of a virtual link - common in practice labs and study materials, as
all us CCIE candidates know full well ;-

I am inferring from other comments in other posts that you needed to use the
IP ospf priority command on the R2 ethernet because the requirement is that
R1 is the DR in area 0.

So, given what I see ( not knowing the particulars of your addressing and
various other things, there is no good reason why R9 and R8 should not see
the ethernet network that is area 0.

Along the trail of broken things, I have sometimes run across bizarre issues
which are solved only by reloading routers. My humble pod of 2501's running
enterprise 12.1.11 code sometimes have bizarre problems. I have a theory
that these bloatware images just barely operate within the confined spaces
of 16 megs of DRAM and sometimes you have to clear it out. I have had
bizarre things happen when configuring and unconfiguring various routing
protocols and features. Sometimes, admittedly, mistakes happen when you are
tired, and you can't see straight to correct errors you have made. But other
times, reloads have made magic happen. I am at the point where I am thinking
about backloading to an IOS build that takes less space, just to see if the
occasional weirdness disappears.

Again, based upon what I have seen throughout this thread, and given that
your areas and other configurations are correct, I see no reason why  the
area 0 network should not be visible from R9 and R8.

Chuck

PS as has been discussed here and elsewhere many a time, good practice and
good design have little in common with the CCIE Lab ;-

PPS which practice lab are you looking at? I have NLI, IPExpert, and
SolutionLabs at my disposal.

 Remember, I think from a design point of view. I say for some reason
 there's an Area 2 because I think it's a bad design not because I was
 surprised to see it there in the show output. ;-) But thanks for replying,
 because it made me question my expectations.

 Here's what part of the network design looks like:

   ---R2---Area-1-ISDNR8---Area-1-Ethernet
   |
   Area 0  |
 Ethernet |
   |
   ---R1---Area-1-Frame Relay---R9---Area-2-Ethernet

 When I did a show ip route on R9 and R8 I thought I would see the
 Ethernet LAN in Area 0. That was not a logical expectation? I should just
 see a default route on ABRs?

 Thanks.

 Priscilla,
 
 There must be at least three areas involved in a virtual link.  So I am
 intrigued by the phantom area 2.  What area were you expecting to see on
the
 other side of area 1?  In your case, it seems as if the ABRs are directly
 connected.  That is to say, the transit area is in essence a p-t-p
 connection.  That isn't always necessarily the case so I don't think OSPF
 makes any kind of distinction.  As I understand it, the virtual
 connection/tunnel is treated like an unnumbered one.  So the network
 statements have to be in place for the transit area in both routers, area
0
 in the backbone ABR, and the discontiguous area in the discontiguous ABR.
 So that is the basis for my interest in your phantom area 2.
 
 Of course, this doesn't seem to be in any way related to why you wouldn't
be
 able to see the area 0 network across the ISDN connection.  The
interesting
 parallel is that virtual links and demand circuits are both treated the
 same.  That is, the DNA bit is set for routes learned via either one.  So

 there anything in your setup not consistent with having DNA show up in

Two comments:

1) so long as there is an area 0, and all other areas connect to it, those
other areas can all be area 1 ( or any other arbitrary number ) and there
will be no reachability problems. This assumes no overlapping subnets. Other
than making summarization a bear, there is nothing wrong with doing it
this way. Bad practice and bad design, but not bad behaviour.

2) I'm interested in your rationale as to why a discontiguous area 1 would
in and of itself cause a problem with routers in either of the discontiguous
areas such that they cannot see area 0 routes. I can't think of one myself,
which may or may not mean anything.

 Maybe Discontiguous is the wrong word for it.The problem I see with
this
 design is that there is basically 2 Area 1s.  The point -to- point
 connections would be fine, however in order for the Areas to function
 properly they need to know of each other ( all of Area 1 as a whole needs
to
 know of the other)  This is done via LSA Types 1 and 2.  I know the
 reasoning for the Area 2, however I still stand behind the notion that if
 you were to change the Frame-Relay Area to 3 your problem would be solved

 You might also get around this by changing from point to point to a
 non-broadcast environment and specify all of your neighbors Router IDs'  :
 R1 (S0) R2(BRI0) R9(S0) and R8(BRI0) on each of the routers.

 Cil, I drew this one out a little differently just to put a fresh
 perspective on it.  Without seeing the requirements of the particular
 practice lab you are using, it's hard to say why you were seeing or not
 seeing what you did.

 area 0
 --
 ||
   R1R2
 ||
 frame relay   area 1  ISDN area 1
 ||
   R9R8
 ||
 --  -
 area 2


 The discontiguous area 1's are irrelevant unless there is overlapping
 addressing. The area 2 is placed the way it is in order to force the
 creation of a virtual link - common in practice labs and study materials,
as
 all us CCIE candidates know full well ;-

 I am inferring from other comments in other posts that you needed to use
the
 IP ospf priority command on the R2 ethernet because the requirement is
that
 R1 is the DR in area 0.

 So, given what I see ( not knowing the particulars of your addressing and
 various other things, there is no good reason why R9 and R8 should not see
 the ethernet network that is area 0.

 Along the trail of broken things, I have sometimes run across bizarre
issues
 which are solved only by reloading routers. My humble pod of 2501's
running
 enterprise 12.1.11 code sometimes have bizarre problems. I have a theory
 that these bloatware images just barely operate within the confined spaces
 of 16 megs of DRAM and sometimes you have to clear it out. I have had
 bizarre things happen when configuring and unconfiguring various routing
 protocols and features. Sometimes, admittedly, mistakes happen when you
are
 tired, and you can't see straight to correct errors you have made. But
other
 times, reloads have made magic happen. I am at the point where I am
thinking
 about backloading to an IOS build that takes less space, just to see if
the
 occasional weirdness disappears.

 Again, based upon what I have seen throughout this thread, and given that
 your areas and other configurations are correct, I see no reason why  the
 area 0 network should not be visible from R9 and R8.

 Chuck

 PS as has been discussed here and elsewhere many a time, good practice and
 good design have little in common with the CCIE Lab ;-

 PPS which practice lab are you looking at? I have NLI, IPExpert, and
 SolutionLabs at my disposal.

The Neverending IPX over IPSec Story [7:34443]

2002-02-04 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Ok, so now we can IPX ping all over the place. So now the customer says his
workstation can log on to the single server across the WAN, but that
response time is hideous. As in 1200 baud hideous.

So I ran a few tests here in my own lab, once again mimicking the customer
network.

R1--internetR3ethernetR4p2pR7---
p2pR8
|---ipsec tunnel--|

ping tests from R1 to R8, both IP and IPX. Check out these results:

500 pings each test

1000 byte payload   500 byte payload1500 byte payload

IP   41 ms24 ms59 ms
IPX  220 ms  127 ms  330 ms

whoa, Nellie look at the latency that the IPSec tunnel appears to add!
this certainly goes a long way towards explaining the slow IPX response
across this WAN VPN.

well, folks, it would appear that I have one more ocean to cross to get this
customer happy. Cisco is talking about eliminating IPX RIP routing and
replacing it with an IPX static route. Don't have time to fool with this any
more tonight. More after some sleep and another day at work.

but it is interesting.

As I gather together my 2001 tax year materials, I thought I'd just offer to
the group that the cost of books, classes, home lab routers, etc. MAY be tax
deductible.

there are provisions in the tax code for deducting the cost of those
training materials and classes which contribute to your ongoing ability to
perform your job.

As always, you should check with a qualified accountant to assure that you
are eligible and in compliance with the zillions of tax laws out there.

 Exactly.  You pretty much hit it right on the head - demand is so low that
 Cisco's decided that not only can it not support a CCIE program, it can't
 even support a CCNA program anymore.

 I don't want to be unduly harsh, as I believe all technologies ultimately
 have their proper place.  But let's face it.  The Stratacom acquisition
 basically sucked for Cisco.  Sorry to put it so bluntly, as I know there
are
 some Stratacom experts out there who will object, but you know in your
 hearts that it's true.   Cisco hasn't put major development muscle into
the
 Stratacom line ever since the last major hardware refresh, the MGX8850,
 which came out more than 2.5 years ago.  Rumor has it that Cisco would
 really like to sell Stratacom off, the problem of course being finding a
 buyer.

 Paul Jin  wrote in message

  Also, the big question is, who is going to keep buying stratacom

 in

  If Cisco thought that the demand for this product was huge, I do not
think
  they would have cancelled the program.  I have heard some reasons why
the
  CCIE track was cancelled was due to the fact that even people working on
 the
  switches could not gain access to the equipment, just for the lab
purpose.
  But why cancel the NP/NA track.
 
  Probably, people that needed these boxes already have it.  They already
  either have more than they need for future expansion or since big chunk
of
  the customers were telcos, they are in bad financial shape or going out
of
  business.
 
  Lucky for me, I only got the the CCNA-Wan part before they cancelled the

they
  went through to NP.  And then it was cancelled.  Now they are all

IPX over IPSec Tunnel - mystery solved?!?!? [7:34231]

2002-02-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

It's been a while, so let me restate the problem.

R1--internet---R2--ethernet---R3---frame_relayre
st of network
   |-IPsec_tunnel---|
  IPX encapsulated

IPX RIP |  |-IPX
EIGRP---|

hope this makes sense.

all routers are seeing all servers and all routes.

However, the IPX client workstation cannot see or log on to a server located
somewhere in the EIGRP domain.

I had been blowing off the customer, telling him it was a workstation / NIC
problem. He finally got ticked at me, and I finally went on site to see what
I can see. Note - I am in sales, not implementation. The implementation
people closed the project once they saw all IPX routes on the R1 router.

So I arrive on site, and find that IPX pinging is not properly working. R1
can IPX ping to R2, but not to R3, or anywhere else in the IPX EIGRP domain
and visa versa. HHHmmm.. IPX routes are showing up
everywhere. IPX servers show up everywhere. debug IPX routing shows routing
exchanges taking place. But IPX ping fails from the IPX RIP domain into the
IPX EIGRP domain and back. Got a clue?

I didn't, so I opened a TAC case.

Let me add that R1 and R2 are 827 routers with IP/IPX/IPSec IOS images. R3
and the rest of the network are 1720 routers with desktop images.

Cisco's answer, given in an offhand manner after reviewing my configs, blew
me away. I can come up with no rationale as to why their solution worked.
But here it is:

add the statement no ipx route-cache to the tunnel interfaces of the
827's. One of my pals in implementation telneted in, did so, and told me
that IPX ping was now working fine from every place to every other place in
the network.

Cisco TAC told me that it sounded like a problem with fast cache Huh?

What further puzzles me is that I cannot duplicate the issue here in my own
lab. IPX pinging works just fine from the RIP domain to the EIGRP domain
across the IPsec tunnel. 25xx routers all, with more or less the same IOS
versions.

Well, this one has been fun. chalk up another one to the vagaries of the
bloatware that the IOS is becoming/has become.

 fast switching is enabled on the tunnel interfaces - and it is by default.
 What often confuses is that ICMP pings are usually successful.

Off Topic - CCIE LAB and NDA [7:34244]

2002-02-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

before I shut down for the evening, a few random thoughts on the CCIE Lab
and NDA. Inspired by several posts here of late from persons asking about
topology, IOS versions, or speaking of rumors about equipment changes.

1) It is unclear what really constitutes NDA. Caslow? The ECP1 class? NLI's
practice labs? Caslow's new prep class? Cisco's own ASET lab? All of these
could be considered violations of NDA in many ways, from topic content to
lab topology. Cisco's own ASET program used real but retired CCIE labs.

2) what is it Cisco really considers CCIE level skill? In the past, things
like DecNet, Apollo, and Vines were core topics. Cisco has recently dropped
those, plus ATM LANE, presumably in response to market conditions. Which
leads one to ask - why token ring? The only real world token ring project I
have been involved with the past couple of years is ripping them out and
replacing them with ethernet. The apologia that there are still some major
token ring networks around is a bit lame. There are still some major DecNet
networks around, I'm sure. Until very recently ( and maybe they still are ),
a major utility company out this way was still running Vines. As was the U.S
Navy.

3) Is the CCIE a forward looking certification or not? Based on what I am
seeing in the marketplace, the advanced skill levels that one needs to meet
demand center around VPN, VoIP, wireless, security, and the underlying
infrastructure required to support these technologies. that means lots of
QoS, switching, L2-L3 interaction, ATM, giga-whatever, etc.

I would purely love to see discussed good focused discussion on core
competencies, core issues. But there is that awful specter of NDA that hangs
over all of our heads.

In a very strange way, NDA is kinda like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
We all know what's in the Lab. We all know what study materials are designed
to model the Lab. But we don't dare speak the truth in front of the children
( those who haven't been yet ) for fear that some higher authority will trou
nce on us if we do.

I'm not sure if there is a real point to this message. Maybe what I want to
say to all of those who keep asking about Lab equipment, Lab topology, Lab
IOS versions, and the like, is that understanding of the core topics is the
most important thing. If you have them down cold, the equipment and the
topology will not matter.

I'd like to comment on the rumor about changes in the equipment, but that
damn NDA.

Re: frame relay question [7:34090]

2002-02-01 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Some telcos have some basic oversubscription requirements, designed more so
that they can sell you more bandwidth than as a real practical requirement.

Here in California, for example, the local telco permits no more than a 2
for 1 oversubscription.

So if you have 20 spokes, each at 256K CIR, then you MUST have a minimum
2.56 megabit CIR at your center ( fractional DS3 or ATM ), for example.

I believe the reasoning is that the telco does not want a lot of calls
complaining about their circuits when the problem is overutilization of
bandwidth. And they want to sell you more, of course. ;-

 2.56 megabit CIR at your center ( fractional DS3 or ATM ), for example.

 I believe the reasoning is that the telco does not want a lot of calls
 complaining about their circuits when the problem is overutilization of
 bandwidth. And they want to sell you more, of course. ;-

Re: frame relay question [7:34090]

2002-02-01 Thread Chuck Larrieu

each remote has two DLCI's - one to the first T3, one to the second. you use
load sharing to balance traffic across the links.

OR

a couple of folks have suggested muxing multiple T3's at your host site. In
the environment you describe, you should have no problem getting your telco
to work with you. doing so would eliminate the need for two pvc's from each
remote.

 14MB is the CIR and 28MB is the port speed. Normally we assume that the
port
 speed should be double of the CIR, which might not be right.

 for the remote site, if CIR is 14MB(actually what we can get is 15MB), the
 port speed we can get from the vendor is 45MB. so every remote site needs
a
 DS3 access circuit.

 the numbers here are all assumptions. but it presents a question I have.
for
 the central site, the aggregate port speed is less than 2 DS3, but how can
 you assign those DLSIs to the 2 DS3 access circuits?

 Where did you get 28MB from?  In your original email you said that each
 location needs 14 MB.  Are you taking into account that the circuit is
 full duplex and adding the input and output rates together? If so, that
 is not necessary.
 
 If you have three remote sites with 15MB fractional DS3 frame relay
 service (assuming you can get that from your provider) then you only
 need a single DS3 at your central location, again assuming that your
 provider offers a frame relay DS3.

 thanks for your reply. sorry that I didn't make my question clear.
 
 Actually what I want to know is that, if the port speed requirment to
 every
 remote site is 28mb, then the aggregate port speed requirement in
 central
 site would be 84mb. should I order 2 T3 access circuits or 3 at the
 central
 site? if 2, how can i config the 3 DLCI across the 2 T3 circuits?
 because
 there would be 1 DLCI needed to be split between the 2 T3 circuits.

I'm asking because I don't know the real world answer, and don't have a lot

My reading is that OAM will shut down interfaces when the end to end ATM PVC

Re: EIGRP Summary address funny [7:33837]

On IOS versions of that age, EIGRP summarization does not work properly.

 Hi all,

 I tried this yesterday and got some funny results.
  A client of ours uses another private company to do long haul connections
 to overseas sites. They (the private company) are redistributing their
OSPF
 routes into my EIGRP process. They have recently had some instability on
 some of their numerous routes, so I tried using summary addressing on the
 router that connects to my clients network. The summary was correct and
 actually showed correctly in the routing table on the upstream router.

 Problem:

 Even though the summarised route is in the table, the 100's of host routes
 are also there, all pointing to the same place. Now the users in the UK
 could not connect. I removed the summary addresses and all ok again - just
 the summarised route gone from the routing tables. This particular router
is
 using ver 11.1 ( really old!!)

 Now this summarisation works on all the other routers correctly. Any

IPX question - can workstations see the fake servers configed [7:33733]

If I configure SAP sources on a router - i.e. servers and printers - will I

Re: EIGRP problem [7:33636]

2002-01-30 Thread Chuck Larrieu

personally, I would call the telco and whine and complain and rant and rave
at them. It may not be their problem ( based on the problem description )
but it's a great stress reliever.

It is also possible that there is a hardware problem. perhaps a TAC case
should be opened?

Also, it is possible that the IOS image is corrupt. One can still download
similar images from CCO, provided one has a contract.

I agree- EIGRP would be the last place I would look as a cause.

It might be an issue of installed base, or lack thereof. I believe recent
CatOS releases have corrected this, but for a long while, the Cat 400x
series did ISL on trunks, while doing 802.1q on ports. Older boxes, of
course, may only do ISL.

In these days of tight budgets it can be difficult to convince customers to
upgrade

absolutely, everyone should upgrade to the open standard. absolutely,
everyone should migrate from token ring to ethernet. absolutely, everyone
should eliminate native IPX, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk from their networks. ;-

 Well, sort of resolved.  This turned out to be a known issue with Dell

 the network to be available almost immediately upon bootup and can't
 handle the delay caused by spanning tree.  In some cases, even portfast
 did not reduce the time sufficiently.

 So, watch out for those 3COM NICs!

Re: Slightly OT: 2924XL and Blue Screen of Death [7:32536]

2002-01-24 Thread Chuck Larrieu

thanks for taking the time to read through this, Cil. The problem continues
to be a source of frustration for my client and for me.

some comments / responses below:


Priscilla Oppenheimer  wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 What version of NetWare are the clients using? Some of this may only apply
 to older versions.

CL: the server is a 4.x box, the PC clients use the Novell Client32.


 Encapsulation issues are definitely a good place to start. You say that
the
 router is using sap (802.2) but the client is using Windows 95, which
 probably did not default to 802.2. It probably defaulted to novell-ether.

CL: I have worked with the client to try to determine this. I will revisit
the issue. This is one of the things that I am not confident about.


 Where is the login server? Local or remote? Who answers the client's Get
 Nearest Server (GNS) request? Could it be the router? Could the router be
 telling the client about some server that can't actually provide login
 services?


CL: All client PC's in the network log on to a central server. This is the
first location where there is a problem. I dislike introducing wildcards
into the discussion, but this is also the only location where there is an
827 router and a VPN involved. I am looking away from the router if only
because the router is seeing all network devices - central server and print
servers. So far as I can tell, the router in question is configured no
differently than any other router in the WAN.

CL: There is no internal network number configurered on any router in the
network.

CL: this would be a great place for sniffer capability, to really decode
what is hapening. unfortunately, that is not an option.

 Routers have also been known to answer the GNS with the address of a
server
 that the client can't actually reach, due to IPX access lists on the
router.

CL: no ipx access-lists on any router anywhere in the LAN

CL: other folks have offered that ther might be a type-20 propogation issue.
I re-read the Cisco documentation on this, and also checked back to my
reference configurations from the IPX network I used to manage at the
brokerage firm. I don't see type-20 as an issue, really. Perhaps I am
misunderstanding, but type-20 is relevant only when using Micorsoft
netowrking over IPX.  None of my routers at the brokerage firm ever had
type-20 propogation enabled. It was a strictly Novell / IPX network, and
there were never any reachability issues.



 Check network numbers, both internal numbers (on the servers) and actual
 numbers on WANs and LANs. Make sure there are no duplicates. The symptoms
 sound mildly similar to a situation I ran into where the internal network
 number on a server was the same as a number used on the new WAN.

CL: good idea, and one that normally would not occur to me. A colleague of
mine also sugessted sending a print job to the local office printer from
some other office, the theory being that if the WAN print job went through,
we could eliminate the WAN as a problem.


 I assume you have checked this Cisco document on troubleshooting NetWare:

 http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/itg_v1/tr1908.htm

 Good luck. Let us know what you discover! Thanks.

 I'm resurrecting this one because I have a client.
 
 In fact, I was thinking about posing this as a Friday Folly of sorts. The
 situation is this:
 
 We install a VPN from one client location to another. We have done frame
 relay for this client, but frame was way too expensive for the particular
 new office location, and VPN is so generic these days...
 
 Customer is an IPX shop. 827 routers at both ends of the internet
 connection. GRE tunnel for the IPX. Al routers see all IPX devices on the
 network. However, the new workstation not only refuses to see the login
 server, but most of the time plain old crashes / locks up when booting.
 
 Remove the router from the hub, and the PC comes up just fine. During
this
 period, the PC can also print to an IPX printer connected to the local
hub.
 
 My employer's policy is that we have no responsibility for anything
beyond
 the router, but I happen to like this client, and I happen to have a
sense
 of responsibility in terms of recommending workable solutions to clients.
So
 I continue to help.
 
 Suffice it to say that the client is clueless in anything beyond simple
PC
 and server configuration. No troubleshooting skills. No sniffers, no
 advanced education in networking. So it can be painful trying to
 troubleshoot by telephone.
 
 So now I have the mystery of the week in front of me. The ethernet
 encapsulation is SAP ( Novell 802.2 ) The PC client is Windoze 95. Client
 tells me he has ghosted a Windows 98 image to the PC and experienced
the
 same problem. Client also tells me he is seeing 802.2 and 802.3 frames on
 the local LAN, but I believe what he is seeing is a printout from the
 print server

configure a /24 or shorter on the interface receiving the updates... ;-

seriously, RIP will accept routes over a particular interface 1) by assuming
that the incoming routes have the same mask as is used on that interface OR
2) at the classfull boundary.

therefore, if the interface mask is a /24, then all routes from the same
classfull network will be assumed to have that same /24 mask. Other networks
will be assumed to be classfull.

Example:

interface = 10.1.1.1/24 then 10.121.121.0 will be assumed to be a /24,
10.1.2.0 will be assumed to be a /24, but 11.115.244.0 will be assumed to be
a /8

hope that helps.

not to mention those little bunnies who don't want to waste the busy network
people's time so install their own cheap switches and hubs onto the LAN,
dual homing them, and wreaking havoc with spanning tree when they power up
and power down their non-authorized equipment. ;-

 Then use VTP and password it.  They can drop a switch but without the
 password configured, it's ignored.

 See the following link for details:

 http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/21.html#v2

 It's best to have things like spanning tree, VTP and whatnot set up since
 few of us are seers and can predict the future with any amount of
 certainity. It's always nice to be ahead of the game when planning things
 like network growth.

Re: Catalyst 6000 in CCIE Lab [7:32918]

2002-01-23 Thread Chuck Larrieu

It is possible that there are a couple of test racks with newer equipment.
It may be that a couple of folks have been offered the opportunity to beta
test a CCIE lab with a 6K switch in the pod.

From information I received from someone high in the CCIE program within
Cisco itself, I learned that a small number of people received their CCIE
numbers based on their passing of the one day lab beta prior to the
official rollout in October.

Cisco is always making them changes  ;-

P.S. if Cisco were really concerned with the possible devaluing of the CCIE,
they could stop most of us in our tracks by using only 65xx and 85xx
equipment, ATM OCx WAN connections, and various other high end high dollar
equipment.  Then only those from big companies could hope to gain the
necessary experience to hope to pass. But that's another topic entirely.

call up your PBX vendor and ask.

or take a close look at the cards in the PBX - they might be labeled. (
which would be how the Cisco guy made the determination )

There is no reason that most PBX's would not support E1 - the vendors want
to sell in Europe too. Some of the low end stuff and key systems might not
support E1 in particular lines or models.

OT: some further observations - CCIE Practical Studies [7:32510]

2002-01-18 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I've now browsed chapters 2-5

Chap 2 - LAN protocols - tells you everything you were afraid to ask about
the raw protocols historical tables. cable types, frame types, IEEE
references. Let's call this the Priscilla chapter ;-

also covers bridging and switching in good detail. I read with great
interest the section on token ring switching, and found it to be the best
guide I have seen with regards to both the theory and the practical
configuration of a 3920 switch. I say this with confidence because the
recommendations are very close to what I developed independently, using
Cisco documentation and the 3920 simulator which I believe NLI is now
selling.  Confidence because  not too long ago I was someplace where this
was important, and everything worked the way it was supposed to on the 3920,
at least. superior IMHO to the very good explanation found in the Kennedy
Clark book.

Chap 3 WAN HDLC - OK

Chap 4 WAN PPP - not too bad. concentrates on ISDN / dial. The section on
PPP multilink is incredibly poor, to the point of being useless. this
surprised me, as there is so much detail elsewhere.

Chap 5 - frame relay. another decent chapter. contains a HUGE error. states
that frame relay split horizon is on by default, and that you have to
disable it manually. not true, and the source of woe to many who find
themselves frustrated with certain sections of various practice labs. on a
frame relay interface, split horizon is DISabled by default. several CCIEs
otta be ashamed of themselves for letting that one through!  ;-

The several lab exercises at the ends of each chapter cover the fundamentals
pretty well. They are not necessarily CCIE level labs, but they are
certainly worth looking at.

So far, what I would say, is that the book contains a lot of good reference
information, some good practical configuration information, and some decent
exercises for all levels. I continue to recommend this one as something
folks new to the field, or just starting out in the certification grid, plan
on adding to their libraries. Along with the books by Doyle and Caslow, this
is one that can serve well throughout the journey.

 Hi all,

 The scenario is this :

 R2R3---R4


 R3 is a FR switch between 2 DTE devices R2 and R4.

 R4 is having a loopback interface, ethernet interface and a serial
 interface.  I am running IGRP 2 on R4 on loopback and serial
 interfaces.  I have not included the ethernet interface in the config.

 Assume, I have assigned the IP for the loopback as 200.0.0.4/32

 The config is this :

 router igrp 2
 net 150.50.0.0
 net 200.0.0.0
 redis connected
 default-metric 64 1000 255 1 1500


 When I issued sh ip route in R4 : sometimes the loopback interface is
 advertised as IGRP route properly and sometimes it shows possibly down
 network.


 I couldn't seem to get the timings of when it was up and when it is
 going down.

 Any insights in this please?

 Thanks

 Chuck,
 I don't think that you are totally correct here. Yes, on a frame-relay
 physical interface ip split-horizon is disable. But on a frame-relay
 multipoint subinterface ip split-horizon is enabled. In both places in
 chapter 5 where I found him referring to ip split horizon, it seems that
 he's referring to it in reference to frame-relay multipoint subinterfaces.
 So if that's the case, he is correct to say it needs to be disabled.

 The rule with frame-relay is:

 Physical interface - ip split horizon is off
 Multipoint subinterface - ip split horizon is on
 Point-to-point subinterface - ip split horizon is on

 We're having an interesting issue that just appeared recently.  We have
 some Dell PCs running Netware 6 and new client software.  We're not sure
 why, but if one of these machines is connected to a 2924XL switch, it
 regularly experiences a blue screen of death either at login or within 5
 minutes of login.

 We have identical machines that operate fine if they're connected to
 our Bay switches or Cisco 1900 switches.

 Have any of you seen anything like this??  That makes no sense to me.
 The only difference I've been able to determine is that Spanning Tree is
 turned off on those particular Bay switches and 1900 switches, yet it is
 turned on on the 2924XL switches.  So, perhaps these PCs are reacting
 badly to STP BPDU.

 Any thoughts?  Our LAN people are doing some testing with different NIC
 software and Novell client software and I'll post back to the list if we
 determine the actual cause of the issue.  But can you think of why it
 would only happen if they're connect to a 2924?

 Hi, all;

 I recently started considering why I might want to have a 32-bit mask
 for my loopbacks as opposed to some other scheme - for instance using
 the regularly documented 24-bit mask on a loopback.

 I am speaking of course, of:  Interface Loopback0
 IP Address 10.0.0.1
 255.255.255.0

 versus approaching this matter in this fashion:

   Interface Loopback0
 IP Address 10.0.0.1
 255.255.255.255

 So, my questions are: 1)
  Has any one here seen a detailed discussion of this matter?
 Can you provide me a link to it?

2) Based on what a friend of mine feels, his view is that there
 is never any benefit to having a 24-bit, or 28, or 29-bit mask on a
 loopback. In his view, loopbacks will always need to be, very logically,
 used with 32-bit masks.

 Can anyone please shed some light on this matter?

 Thank you.

It may also be that copy editors think that because it is tech, that what
they see, although it does not make sense grammatically, does make sense to
other techies. For a tech review I am currently working on, I had to
specifically call the editor and tell him that the chapters were very poorly
written, had lots of poor sentence construction, not to mention bad grammar,
and that he should specifically be aware that the text made no sense no
matter who was reading it. Hmmm... come to think of it, I haven't heard from

I suspect that in this mad rush to get tech books out the door, many of the

 when discussing OSPF.

 That says that the author didn't look at the copy-edited material. New
 authors assume that publisher's copy editors have a clue. They don't. They
 apply rules for fixing words and sentences without any idea what they
are
 doing.

 This means that you will probably find other minor mistakes in the book
 too. Don't blame the author, although the author should have been more
 careful during the final phases of the book project.

 Cisco Press copy editors once changed every case of Mbps to MByte in a
 book! In my book, in the index, they changed long fat network (LFN) to
long
 file names. See RFC 1323 for the true meaning of elephant (LFN).

 Thanks for your thorough review of the book.

 Priscilla

   Note, this book isn't unique in this mis-use of the
 term; there are many CCO documents that also make this error.  I'm
 assuming that this is the product of a spell-checker that didn't know the
 term contiguous, suggested continuous and someone hit replace all.
Before
 the flame-war starts, I know that these two words have *similar* meanings
 but in this case I - my personal opinion - think that contiguous is 'more
 right' - besides, it's the term used in the RFC.
 
 Since I'm picking nits; the author indicates that the OSPF process ID on
a
 router should be thought of as an Autonomous System ID.  This number
should
 be the same on all routers within the autonomous system.  Per CCO, this
is
 a locally significant setting used only to distinguish between multiple
OSPF
 routing process on a particular router.  If we were to apply the RFC2119
 definition of should to this statement one might think that certain
 problems may occur if this practice wasn't followed.  I don't believe
this
 to be the case but I'm sure someone on the list will correct me if I'm
 wrong.  There's nothing wrong with using the same process ID on all of
your
 OSPF routers; I would guess that networks are configured that way more
often
 than not; but isn't a requirement.  Given that the lab exam is all about
 splitting hairs to the most minute detail and knowing the various
protocols
 in depth, it probably should have been noted (as in other texts) that two
 adjacent routers can have different process IDs configured.
 
 There are some outright mistakes in the book - I just checked the
CiscoPress
 site for an errata and didn't see one yet.  Here one that I recall off
the
 top of my head:
 
 EIGRP - (p.691) at the bottom of the page, the 'distance' command.

 the required information to change the admin distance of the EIGRP

Off Topic - Half.com book purchase [7:32234]

2002-01-16 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Based on my first experience with this means of purchasing books, I have the
following observations:

1) price is great

2) service / delivery sucks

Don't be in a hurry when you use this subsidiary of e-bay. from the postmark
to my hands was about a week, but the postmark is two weeks after I placed
the order and the order was accepted.

you have no choice for shipping. media mail ( media is apparently Eskimo
for dog sled via the north pole ) is the only option.

reading the site, I see that comments from other customers are all over the
board. about equal good and bad. the bad all revolve around turnaround time.

I chose half.com because they claimed to have the book in stock at the time
I was ordering. Other places stated no availability. I suspect a part of the
problem with the particular book I ordered is that is it is newly released,
and the seller ( some small shop in New Jersey ) accepted my bid thinking
they could get the book through distribution and found they had to wait for
the release.

for my money, bookpool is still the way to go.

OT: First Impressions - CCIE Practical Studies [7:32237]

2002-01-16 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Just got my copy.

Reading the About the Authors section alone is impressive. All those
associated with the book are CCIE's. I look forward to discovering if there
are any errors in the book. One would hope not, given the credentials of the
writers and reviewers, one of whom was the Halifax Lab Proctor for several
years.

So far I have browsed all of the first chapter The Key Components for
Modeling an Internetwork

This chapter covers in good detail all those basic questions - the config
register, configuring a router as a frame switch, password recovery, show
and debug ( called the big show and the big d respectively, throughout
the book. ) building a terminal server, and much much more. This alone tells
me that this book might be a good investment for those just starting out, as
well as those prepping for the CCIE Lab. Sure, all of this information is
available elsewhere, but with this book, it is in one place, easily located,
and clearly explained.

There is even a section about configuring networking on windoze computers.
Considering the number of raw beginners who are coming into the
certification process, this is helpful.

I'll have more comments after I have had a chance to look at the good
stuff.

Re: CCIE Lab Waiting Period [7:32232]

2002-01-16 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Dare I release my currently scheduled date so I can look? ;-

the rule of thumb is that you can book a date this week or in six months,
but nothing in between.

Also, I believe Cisco is opening up dates on a month by month basis. In
other words, say for the month of February the schedule was based on the two
day lab. So in late January Cisco opens up the 14 days formerly reserved for
the second day of the two day lab. So for a very brief period of time there
are a number of openings available in February. This was certainly true a
couple of months ago when I was trying to book my next attempt.

Re: mentor back? [7:31964]

2002-01-15 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Is Mentor back in business? web site is not there.

The news this morning is that a company called Element K has purchased the
Vlab technology, and will be marketing the labs.

Point to note - in terms of Mentor, Vlabs was an asset, people who bought
services were creditors. The bankruptcy court will sell assets and use the
proceeds to start to pay creditors. There is a specific legally defined
hierarchy as to which creditors get paid in what order. Those who were owed
rack time are last on that list. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Unless the Court specifically obligated Element K to honor the open rack
time, they are under no legal obligation to do so. It is possible that as a
gesture of good will, Element K might offer to make good on what Mentor
owed. But depending on the terms of the acquisition, they may not be legally
obligated to do so.

Just as a note, there are plenty of lab scenarios available, free and
otherwise, and more on the way. There are also plenty of places to rent rack
time, with more on the way. To be truthful, I'm not so sure that the Vlab
business model is as relevant as it was a couple of years ago. Time will
tell.

Re: Ospf router id vs loop back [7:32022]

2002-01-15 Thread Chuck Larrieu

interesting question. came up in a customer meeting the other day as well.

IMHO, this gets down to design preference. I am of the school of thought
that there needs be some way of getting to any router in a network ( design
permitting, cost permitting ), and that each router in a network needs some
unique and easily identified pneumonic.

So IMHO, one should use loopbacks, numbered according to some rational
scheme, and that those routes should be advertised.IMHO This should be
true, no matter what routing protocol you are using.

However, others will ask whether in a 5000 router domain, you want 5000
extra routes in your tables. That is a valid counterargument.

Using the RID command under the OSPF process, you can set up a rational
identification scheme. The RID does not necessarily have to be related to
interface numbering. But then you have the issue of correlating RIDs to the
addresses one actually uses to get to the router in question, making it a
bit more complicated to find things when you need to.

JMHO.

why do you think you need to change? seriously? what would dynamic routing
give you that you don't have now - in terms of stability and the like?

it might seem an odd thing to say, but I believe that dynamic routing in
small environments, and maybe even in some larger environments,  is over
rated, no matter whose routers or what routing protocols you use.

BTW, I am personally acquainted with a portion of the network of a very
large technology company that consists entirely of static routes. Over 3000
of them. They had a particular good reason for doing it this way. But my
point is that there are considerations other than because you can or
because you want to

 Listers.

 I would like to make some routing changes to a mostly static routing
 environment.  Currently everything is either routed via default gateway,
or
 static route statements.

 the environment consists of about 30 remote point to point WAN sites, with
 most data traffic consisting of IP.  We have several sites on dual T1's,
and
 all sites are terminating at a central corporate location.  So a big star
 network.   The vendor of choice is cisco for routing and switching.

 Anyone see OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IGRP, ISIS as the way to go?   I would like
to
 make this network more dynamic, just having a hard time justifying the
move.

 All thoughts appreciated!

Re: ospf in a non-broadcast mode not working? [7:32077]

2002-01-15 Thread Chuck Larrieu

split horizon is NEVER an issue with OSPF. Nor with BGP

If you are using the physical interfaces in all cases, and you are trying to
ping the directly connected interface of the other side, your pings will
fail. This is true of all routing protocols. At least according to the
extensive experimentation and resulting observation when I did these tests
last September. I've never brought it up as a topic of discussion because I
could not come up with a conceptual framework that explained the phenomenon.
I do have a note indicating that static maps must exist for all directly
connected addresses to overcome this problem.

betcha if you use an extended ping, and use something other than the
directly connected interface as your source address it works fine.

Re: EIGRP 'default network' Rehash [7:31799]

2002-01-14 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I created a line of routers  R5---R1---R3-R2   ( that's the way the test
pod I was using is set up )

There are loopbacks on R5 and R2 that are addressed and will become the
default networks

R5 and R2 contain the statement ip default-network.

R5 contained the 100.x.x.x/24  and the 199.1.1.x /24 nets

R2 contained the 135.35.x.x/24 and the 155.55.x.x/16 nets.

R3 was where the routing table outputs were taken. The default network was
propagated properly and as expected only for those default nets that were
also classful.

Again, my point is that there appears to be an issue with flagging the major
network when all you have are subnets. I did not try advertising  EIGRP
summaries from R5 or R2. That might work too.

 Chuck,

 Many thanks for taking the time.  Could you clarify that you are issuing
the
 'ip default-network x.x.x.x' command on one single router and all of the
 others are flagging it accordingly?  Or are you issuing 'ip route 0.0.0.0
 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x' and then 'redistribute static'?

 By the way, you illustrate the classful/classless issue quite nicely.  It
is
 my understanding that, where the 'ip default-network' command works, you
can
 issue it twice - once for the major network and once for the subnet.

 Murtaza,

 Thanks for the post.  Both of the techniques in that text work quite
 nicely.

Re: OT - Cisco lightstream ATM configs [7:31758]

2002-01-14 Thread Chuck Larrieu

well, this has been an interesting search. finally got something that
appears to work.

For those whose rack rental places continue to expect you to configure the
lightstream as well as the router side of things, something like this
appears to work.

ATM1 atm pvc a b interface atm 2 c d

ATM2  no configuration required

so in the particular pod where I am working:

interface ATM0/0/0
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 atm ilmi-keepalive
!
interface ATM0/0/2
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 atm ilmi-keepalive
 atm pvc 1 52  interface  ATM0/0/0 1 50
!

note that ATM 0/0/0 has no pvc configuration

test with:

ls1010#sh atm vc
InterfaceVPI   VCI   TypeX-Interface  X-VPI X-VCI  Encap Status
ATM0/0/0 1 50 PVC ATM0/0/2 1 52   UP
ATM0/0/2 1 52 PVC ATM0/0/0 1 50   UP

now I have end to end ( assuming the router side is configured correctly )

interesting. time wasting.

 72xx ) can route across ATM, or I can rely on the good will of some of you

 Hint to rack rental places: ATM core switch configuration is NOT part of

Re: GBIC ??? [7:31770]

2002-01-13 Thread Chuck Larrieu

there will probably be a ton of posts, but why not? I'm waiting for a
download to complete.

The 65xx series switches come of the shelf with a 32 gig backplane. If you
anticipate needing a bigger backplane, you must purchase a switch fabric
module ( SFM ) which then increases your backplane to 128 gig.

Ah, but here's the deal. In order take advantage of this increased
backplane, your line cards must be fabric enabled. Otherwise they will be
able to use only the default 32 gig crossbar.

Cisco is the only major vendor that does it this way that I can figure.
Extreme and Foundry certainly don't.

so get our your wallet and get ready to shell out if you require a bigger
backplane on the 65xx product.

Re: EIGRP 'default network' Rehash [7:31799]

2002-01-13 Thread Chuck Larrieu

without knowing your configs, I can't say for sure, but in fooling with this
a bit after reading this post, I believe you may have run into a classful
issue on the default-network.

in a simple linear setup R5R1-R3 observe the R3 routing table:


 *   100.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   100.1.25.0 [90/304128] via 172.10.15.5, 00:09:32, TokenRing0/0
 172.10.0.0/29 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C   172.10.15.0 is directly connected, TokenRing0/0
D*   199.1.1.0/24 [90/304128] via 172.10.15.5, 00:09:32, TokenRing0/0
 181.37.0.0/27 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C   181.37.13.0 is directly connected, Serial1/1
r1#

note that the 100.0.0.0 classfull network is flagged as a candidate default,
as is the classful 199.1.1.1 network. but the EIGRP route that has been
learned is a subnet of the 100 net - 100.1.25.0/24 to be precise.

now check the R3 routing table:


 100.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   100.1.25.0 [90/20656128] via 181.37.13.1, 00:10:45, Serial1/1
 172.10.0.0/29 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   172.10.15.0 [90/20528128] via 181.37.13.1, 00:10:45, Serial1/1
D*   199.1.1.0/24 [90/20656128] via 181.37.13.1, 00:10:45, Serial1/1
 181.37.0.0/27 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C   181.37.13.0 is directly connected, Serial1/1

note that the 100 network is not flagged, but the 199.1.1.0/24 network is.

as a sanity check, I added another router into the line, set up two
loopbacks - one using 135.35.1.1/24 and the other using 155.55.1.1/16
not from the following that there are two candidate defaults on R2: ( plus
the 199 advertised from the other end of the line. note the similar issue
with the classful versus non classfull breakdown of the two candidates.

 100.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   100.1.25.0 [90/21168128] via 192.200.23.3, 00:02:09, Serial1/1
C*   155.55.0.0/16 is directly connected, Loopback102
 172.10.0.0/29 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   172.10.15.0 [90/21040128] via 192.200.23.3, 00:02:09, Serial1/1
D*   199.1.1.0/24 [90/21168128] via 192.200.23.3, 00:02:09, Serial1/1
C192.200.23.0/24 is directly connected, Serial1/1
 181.37.0.0/27 is subnetted, 1 subnets

 *   135.35.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C   135.35.1.0 is directly connected, Loopback101
r2#


now check the R3 table again - note that the classful default only shows up:

 100.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   100.1.25.0 [90/20656128] via 181.37.13.1, 00:42:38, Serial1/1
D*   155.55.0.0/16 [90/2064] via 192.200.23.2, 00:03:40, Serial1/2
 172.10.0.0/29 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   172.10.15.0 [90/20528128] via 181.37.13.1, 00:42:38, Serial1/1
D*   199.1.1.0/24 [90/20656128] via 181.37.13.1, 00:42:38, Serial1/1
C192.200.23.0/24 is directly connected, Serial1/2
 181.37.0.0/27 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C   181.37.13.0 is directly connected, Serial1/1
 135.35.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D   135.35.1.0 [90/2064] via 192.200.23.2, 00:04:05, Serial1/2
r3#

So to summarize ( so to speak ) EIGRP does indeed advertise the default
network throughout the domain. But there are still things to be aware of.

s vermill  wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Sorry to bring this up again but apparently, for at least some of us, it
 needs to be.  I chimed in the other day and offered a way to get EIGRP to
 distribute a default route.  That basically amounted to simply defining a
 static to 0.0.0.0 and redistributing static into EIGRP (whoever corrected
me
 by pointing out that the 'network 0.0.0.0' command isn't necessary, I
thank
 you (it was in BSCN)).

 Wayne jumped in and explained some problems with EIGRP and the 'ip
 default-network' command.  I thought it all sounded quite reasonable.  So
I
 tried this in the lab for several hours today (no get a life remarks
 please).  I must be really dense, because nothing I try works quite the
way
 (that I thought) it was described.  It seems that the only way to
 sucessfully use the default-network is to configure it on every single
 router in the AS (I tried this with RIP just as a sanity check and it
worked
 just fine).

 If that is the case, can a good argument be made in favor of this approach
 over redistributing static?  Or summarizing to 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 on an
 interface?  Both of those, at least, propogate throughout the AS after
 configuration on just one router.

 Thanks in advance,

 Scott

You
 should really focus on your loopback and token ring interface

 Make sure you can put the loopback interfaces in a 'down down' state.  For
 the token ring interfaces, make sure you can program the router to
 automatically bring up a token ring interface without a mau or media
filter
 or anything at all connected to the interface...and for that matter, if
you
 do use a mau, make sure you can bring up the interface WITHOUT pushing in
 the RingIn and RingOut buttons (inside joke).

2002-01-11 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I had the extreme good fortune of sitting in a meeting today with a
customer. The project has moved out of the sales phase ( a year in the
making ) and into the project phase. In attendance were the customer's top
IT networking staff and my employer's project team.

This ended up being a four hour meeting, completely dominated by Customer IT
Director and my employer's Mr. CCIE

One of the high points? the customer had sent Mr. CCIE an L3 switch
configuration the previous day. Mr. CCIE was to offer comment on the design.
Mr. CCIE said from what I see here, I'll bet you have a routing loop. I'll
bet that if you do a traceroute from that switch to this particular network
it will go nowhere. The customer said you're on, telnetted into the
switch, performed the trace, and sure enough, the * * * * * * appeared after
three hops. You shoulda seen this guy's face!

this was but a small part of a fascinating dialogue between the customer and
Mr. CCIE.

Oh, it did not hurt that Mr. CCIE had fifteen years technology experience,
and ten years in networking.

Anyway, back to the books. I'm jazzed about learning the dirty little BS
things again!

Re: CCIE counters, r they going up? [7:31318]

2002-01-08 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I don't see a lot of announcements over on the CCIE list - just a couple in
December, and none so far this month, unless I missed something.

OTOH, I see that #8472 announced on 12/1 and #8548 announced on 12/18.
that's the most recent I have seen.

Not surprising with the holidays.

I am not at the computer that has my history table on it.

Re: IGRP Subnet mask issues [7:31349]

2002-01-08 Thread Chuck Larrieu

considering how often and to what depth this issue has been and continues to
be discussed here and elsewhere, it shouldn't be too hard to discover the
answer.

try changing your network on the R1-R2 link to a /24 and see what happens.
then report back your findings along with your own speculation.

 I have two routers. One of them is running IGRP,BGP and OSPF and other is
 running IGRP only.
 The network between two IGRP routers is 30 bit mask.  Here is the diagram:

 IGRP/BGP/OSPF IGRP

 R1-R2
 10.3.255.10/3010.3.255.9/30

 R1 has some 24 bit 10-netorks directly connected to it as well. I have

 R2:

 10.0.0.0/24 networks won't show up in the routing table of R2.
 Could someone explain why it is happening what is the fix.

 On pages 214- 215 of Routing TCP/IP by Doyle mention that when using
 secondary interfaces with RIP v1 the routing process sees secondary
 interfaces as separate data links. Thus in a routing table there will be
 equal-cost routes for the next hop addresses associated with both the
 primary and secondary addresses. I am not able to reproduce this, in my
case
 the next hop address is always the one associated with the primary IP
 address. Was this behavior changed some how in later versions of IOS. I am
 using ver 12.2(1).
 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: EIGRP 0.0.0.0 Route [7:25308]

I realize this thread is way old, but another possibility is to put the quad
zero static route on the edge route, and use the default network command to
propogate a default to the rest of the EIGRP domain.

internet---internet_router-firewall-edge_router---eigrp_domain

edge router configs
  ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface to internet
  default-network address_of_inside_interface

one more way to skin this cat.

 Part of the reason I wanted to send a summary of 0.0.0.0 to the remote
 sites is so that they wouldn't learn a huge routing table full of entries
 thru EIGRP.  i.e., I could send a summary route of 0.0.0.0/0 and that
would
 effectively keep EIGRP from sending *all* of it's routes without having to
 mess with distribute lists, etc.  If I rely on EIGRP to send that default
 route thru to the remote sites, it will indeed do that, but it will send
it
 along with all the other routes.

 Just being lazy I guess =)

Re: Passive Interface Help [7:30648]

2002-01-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

All part of traffic control. Why waste bandwidth for updates that are not
required.

example:

OSPF domainrouter--IGRP domain

the OSPF domain does not require direct knowledge of the IGRP domain, so why
send IGRP updates out the interface into the OSPF domain? or visa versa.

also, as a matter of basic security design, suppose you have:

bunch of usersethernet_interface-router--routing_domain

one might consider preventing routing advertisements into the user ethernet
domain as a precaution against users who may be running routing protocols on
their workstations and creating havoc as a result.

I worked on a VPN/RLAN project for a major technology company a few months
back. The company had several thousand users on this network, most of whom
were engineers. The company had ongoing problems with these engineers
testing equipment and services and creating situations where the engineering
work caused major problems on their production network. So they opted for
static routing to the end user, and suppression of all routing
advertisements out any of the VPN tunnels and RLAN connections.

Make sense?

   interface does not advertise its route to its
   neighbor ? Now if that is the case, why can
   I still ping an interface that is set to passive.
   Please note: This is excluding directly connected

it

2002-01-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I should also mention that in the ISP environment, this is particularly
useful and particularly necessary. According to my reading, ISP's will
habitually place all interfaces to the customer side as passive ( for the
ISP IGP ) and will then specifically activate interfaces where route and
routing protocol advertising should occur.

All of the examples surrounding the passive-interface default command (
available in IOS 12.0 and higher ) that I have seen on CCO specifically
reference ISP requirements.

Essentially, why advertise internal routes and updates out every dial up and
DSL connection? Why do your average Joe customers require this? So save
their bandwidth for the things they really want - transferring megabytes of
pictures via e-mail ;-

2002-01-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

the idea of 24 hour rack rental can be attractive. especially for doing
those full blown practice labs.

OTOH,  smaller increments make sense for a lot of reasons as well. Suppose I
want to spend the last couple of weeks before the test doing certain
specific things - voice, ATM, Cat configuration, for example? A couple of 8
hour sessions ( or less ) might be just the thing.

Also, Brad, at present your racks require how much lead time to schedule?
Last time I looked, it was weeks to months. One other place I looked it was
days to a couple of weeks. I don't know at what point it makes it worth
yours or any competitor's operation to add more racks, and I am not sure
what the tolerance is for long lead times to get access. Supply and demand
meet impatience. :-

I will say that in my experience, it has always been easy to reach someone
in your office to check out various things, or to do voice testing. This is
not always true elsewhere.

   might be more
open to the idea if Cisco saved comments with
 the
   configuration, but,
of course, it doesn't.

 In the ongoing IETF BMWG work on routing convergence, we are hoping
 that NTP will be good enough to track protocol behavior, but some of
 the more statistically-minded researchers are worried that it will
 not. I'm hoping that most of our basic measurements can be done using
 NTP-synchronized routers as the source and sink of data, but other
 workers are pressing for GPS or other, more accurate time
 synchronization.

I thought the NTP stratum 1 reference clocks were about as accurate as one
can get.

Off topic a bit, but one of my installed utilities is an SNTP client that
can use any public time source as a reference clock. I'm using NIST, NASA,
or the USNO depending. Aren't these sources based on the atomic clocks that
claim accuracy of 1 millisecond per century or so?

Re: dsn from cisco router? [7:30627]

2002-01-01 Thread Chuck Larrieu

if you have the ability to look at the running configuration, look for the
command ip name-server [address]

chances are good there is a direct correlation between the presence of this
command and your ability to ping domain names.

 internet addresses like: ping www.yahoo.com

 and get replies but on others i dont. Can someone tell
