  Since you're being compensated (paid) by your

  you?
   
  If you don't compensate someone for helping you, 
  how do you know that your helper didn't just give you enough rope to go hang 
  yourself in front of that customer?  i.e. They gave you enough 
  information to think you know  what you're doing but not enough to 
  be successful.
   
  And since money is involved, and hence the 
  concept of harm (legal definition).  Do you have adaquate liability 
  insurance to protect not only yourself but also the person who helps 
  you?  
   
  That should just about cover it,

RE: MCSE or CCNA or both [1:763]

2000-11-11 Thread JL

I'm not so sure, myself within 48 hours of updating my resume online to
reflect my CCNA I received a job offer. Without having both certifications
no one would talk to me about employment (this with 3 years experienceas a
network admin/help desk)Of course when going for entry level positions it
certainly helps if you are or can be mobile (i.e. have the ability to
relocate). I moved to Kansas City to take a position working for Sprint on
their ION platform as a Network Operations Specialist. I get to learn ATM,
troubleshoot Nortel PVG's, Lucent Stinger DSLAMs, Cisco 12012GSR
routers...etc... None of this would have been possible without my ability to
move and my CCNA (having an MCP was an added bonus). Good Luck all looking
for work (keep an eye on Sprint for openings BTW)and once again thanks to
all on this who spend their own time to tutor those of who are climbing the
ranks.

There is another forum here :Jobs@groupstudy.
In the past days I remember seeing several postings of new CCNA holders who
were not getting any job offers with their new certification. BUT who knows
what THEIR experience overall was like??
  I believe that from what I have seen a CCNA will NOT guarantee you a job
(neither will an MCSE)and that in the end your all around
knowledge/experience is what will count. Hiring managers are generally smart
enough to know that just because someone has an MCSE or CCNA does not
necessarily mean they can really do the job. Many conduct interviews with
numerous technical questions to test your level of expertise. The best you
can hope for is that the CCNA/MCSE will win you an interview. We all hope
that a company will hire us and give us the opportunity to get the
experience to warrant that high paycheck.
If you find such a company please let me know as I will go work for them
also.
  Of course if you have the experience to do MCSE and/or CCNA level work you
can probably get along without either certification.

Re: Which one is correct?

2000-11-11 Thread User PETE



I am assuming you have two PVCs at each branch office for either a
doubly-large CIR, or because you have two physical interfaces. either way,
 unless some weird frame-switching is being done, and im not sure if this
is possible ( though it prolly is )  each branch office pvc is going to
require a corresponding pvc at the CO. you will need to use six
frame-relay map commands on the point-to-multipoint at the CO.

Re: OSPF Totally Stubby Areas and area default-cost

2000-11-11 Thread Peter A van Oene

 Totally stubby is a cisco nob that takes the concept of a stub area a step further.  
In a stub area, only LSA types 1 (router) 2 (network) and 3 ( summary) flow within the 
area.  Hence, no routing information concerning prefixes outside of the OSPF domain is 
injected into the area.  In a totally stubby area, the flow of normal type 3 LSA's is 
halted as well.  This leaves the area with no information about any prefixes outside 
of the area.  In order to allow traffic to exit the area, a single type 3 LSA is 
propagated by each ABR which advertises a default route. The default cost nob simply 
allows you to set a cost for the route instead of using the standard OSPF metric to 
the ABR itself.

Hope this helps some

Pete

Re: Why not supernetting?

2000-11-11 Thread Peter A van Oene

You guys must be integrators!  She has a 5500 already, which although somewhat dated, 
should be able to provide enough horsepower to route to 600 users in 5 or 6 subnets 
surely.

I highly expect her issue is not lack of hardware related.  I expect there is a 
misconfiguration or faulty cabling at some point along the line.  Really, this type of 
troubleshooting is hard to do offline however :)

Question Identifier

If there are 360 questions in the database, this is question x of 360

If you ask a question to Boson about a certain question, the QID is what

It's just a question ID#

Basically, each question has a corresponding QID#. I believe their program
randomize a set of QID so that when you take the exam, you get a fixed set
of random questions for each Exam (A, B, C or D).

I don't think it's relevant to the test taker.

Re: Which one is correct?

2000-11-11 Thread Kenneth Lorenzo

You're talking about 2 PVC's going to the same site from one site? Like Site
A's connection to Site B's connection has 2 PVCs? I believe if that's the
case, you'll need 2 DLCIs since you need 1 DLCI per PVC. For 3
subinterfaces, you'll have a total of 6 if I understood your question right.

It's quite strange to have 2 PVCs going to the same site though...

Re: Should I save my old router?

2000-11-11 Thread Circusnuts

I don't have personal experience, but I do work with 4 CCIE's that obtained
their lab cert's in 99 & 2000.  The only IOS's you should see, are the ones
critical to the scenario (i.e. 11.2, 11.3, 12.0 (for voice & triple DES)).
I asked this very question myself.  One of the guys (my boss) said he went
home (after failing the exam the first time) & took off 12.0 from a majority
of his lab routers & replaced it with 11.2 (because that almost all that he
saw :-)

Just thought I'd throw in the answers I received, when wondering the very
same thing...

Re: IOS differences

2000-11-11 Thread Circusnuts

There's a Cisco Press book (which the title slips my mind @ the moment), but
it's always best to remember 11.2 started NAT & DES (early IPSec), 11.3
started PAT & a lot of the technical (module) stuff, & 12.0 brought the new

Re: Which one is correct?

2000-11-11 Thread jeongwoo park

Sorry for the unclear question.

What I was trying to ask was the FR configured with
Multipoint.
When multiple PVCs are configured in a subinterface of
the central site router, I was wondering how many
local DLCI numbers are needed. There are three branch
offices, and each branch office has two PVCs going to
central site router. Then there will be totally 6 PVCs
in this whole structure. From the view of central
site, its router has three subinterfaces, and each
subinterface has two PVCs. 
Now, how many DLCI numbers do I need totally at
central site router?
Would it be 6 because there are six PVCs?
or
Would it be 3 because there are three subinterfaces?

I hope this question is clearer.

Re: VoIP

2000-11-11 Thread Rodgers Moore



Don't take this the wrong way, but I have a couple 
of questions. 
 
Since you're being compensated (paid) by your 
customer, how do you intend on compensating someone in this group for helping 
you?
 
If you don't compensate someone for helping you, 
how do you know that your helper didn't just give you enough rope to go hang 
yourself in front of that customer?  i.e. They gave you enough information 
to think you know  what you're doing but not enough to 
be successful.
 
And since money is involved, and hence the concept 
of harm (legal definition).  Do you have adaquate liability insurance to 
protect not only yourself but also the person who helps you?  
 
That should just about cover it, 
thanks.

Re: OSPF Totally Stubby Areas and area default-cost

2000-11-11 Thread Raul F. Fernandez

Bob,

A stub area may have more than one ABR. Stub areas are areas into which
information on external routes is not sent. Instead, there is a default
external route generated by the area border router, into the stub area for
destinations outside the autonomous system. To take advantage of the OSPF
stub area support, default routing must be used in the stub area.An area
could be qualified a stub when there is a single exit point from that area
or if routing to outside of the area does not have to take an optimal path.
The latter description is just an indication that a stub area that has
multiple exit points, will have one or more area border routers injecting a
default into that area. Routing to the outside world could take a
sub-optimal path in reaching the destination by going out of the area via an
exit point which is farther to the destination than other exit points

Hope this helps. I derived this information partly from Doyle's book on
TCP/IP Routing and the CCO.

Sincerely, Raul

Need help setting up Teltone Isdn Demonstrator

2000-11-11 Thread Alfredo Machin

This is my setup:

2504(int bri0)-Demonstrator-2503(int bri0)

The Demonstrator came with a program that allows you to change the
configuration of the Demonstrator. Some of the parameters you could change
include:

D Channel X.25:
None
Permanent (PVC)
Dial-Up (SVC)

B Channel:
None
Permanent B1
Permanent B2
Permanent Both
Loopback

Caller Identification:
On
Off

Electronic Key Telephone Service:
On
Off

Can anyone tell me what configuration I should give the Demonstrator so that
I could get connectivity between the 2 routers? Also, I'm extremely new to
Isdn so can anyone tell me if the cables I use to connect the 2 routers to
the Demonstrator are just regular straight-through Rj-45 cables, or do they
have to be cross-over cables. Thanks!

If you look at the RFC, I believe there are only BDR elections.  When a new

Question about eigrp

2000-11-11 Thread Raul Fernandez



I have been working with a system which has under its eigrp 
process this command "eigrp stub connected". From what I gather this perticular 
router acts as a stub and receives no eigrp updates to its routing table but 
does receive and send out hellos because it has established a neighbor 
relationship to the hub router. There is a default gateway which seem to route 
all packages out of the router and into the hub router. Anyone have any links or 
info on this. IOS version is 12.0(7)T and I have looked in the CCO but I see 
nothing so far. Anything on this for reading purposes would be much 
appreciated.
 
Sincerely,

OSPF Totally Stubby Areas and area default-cost

2000-11-11 Thread Bob Hunter

 Hi,
 I'm confused on the subject of totally stubby areas, and the command "area
default-cost". From what I'm reading, one of the qualifications of a totally
stubby area is that if multiple exits (ABRs) exist, routing to outside the
area does not have to take an optimal path. Does this mean that each router
within the area picks the closest ABR as the gateway to everything outside
the area, and that there is no way to control the default route? If so, does
that imply that the area default-cost is used for incoming routes? Would
incoming routes even exits if the area was a totally stubby area?

 I would very much appreciate it if someone would please set me straight.

 Thank you.

CCIE Written Passed!

The second time around was a cinch!  (I failed it the first time with a

and passed with an 84%.  Both times I only had about 5 minutes left on the

The first time, I had done really well in only 3 areas where I'd spent the 
majority of my time studying.  This time around, I studied only in the 
areas I had done poorly in before.   It really showed.   I scored 100% in 
three areas and over 90% in three others.  (And, the areas that I skipped 
reviewing this time around did not suffer much from lack of review, either.)

RE: Some OSPF Questions

2000-11-11 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

Chuck,
Thanks for testing. Now my curiosity is at an all time high. Is it possible
for you to do the test with 4 routers ?
My theory is that 2 or maybe even 3 routers are not enough.
Here is why: 2 routers on a broadcast net will always have a DR and BDR. If
the DR goes away, the DR will know it is alone on a broadcast net. It will
become a DR in its own right. It will not be taking over any duties of the
former DR. The time to realize that it is alone will be 40 secs(default). A
3 router net might have the same issue. The absence of the DR will trigger a
promotion of the BDR. The remaining router will become the BDR. This seems
to be consistent with the broadcast net rules.

Although the code obviously selects BDRs and DRs very early, maybe the
duties of DR flooding do not start until there is at least one other DRother
on the net. 

I only have two routers available and my test produced essentially the same
results as yours. Something I did notice is that the Network type 2 LSAs
never aged. 
If a 4 router test produces the same results then it will be difficult to
say whether LSAs or hello packets determine when the BDR takes over for the
dead DR. I hope they never ask this question on any test.

Winston.

Subject: RE: Some OSPF Questions


Just to put in some empirical data, I set up two routers on an Ethernet
link, in the classic OSPF broadcast scenario. Hello time is 10 seconds. Dead
time 40 seconds ( 4xhello )

I determined which of the two routers was the DR, and which was the BDR

I then plugged into and monitored from the BDR, using repeated "show ip ospf
neighbor" commands

I then unplugged the DR from the ethernet

I then repeatedly reissued the show ip ospf neighbor commands

I watched.

The result of the show command was that the neighbor state FULL/DR remained
in effect until the dead time was reached. After that, there was no
neighbor.

I also plugged it the first router back into the ethernet and repeatedly
issued the commands. After a few seconds the first router showed up as a
FULL/BDR

Of some interest - the debug ip ospf hello and debug ip ospf events were
silent immediately after unplugging the DR. It was only after the expiration
of the dead time that debug ip ospf events indicated the election of a new
DR, to whit, the router I was monitoring.

Where this 0.5 second / half second thing comes from I cannot say. But using
Cisco's defaults in a quick and dirty lab, it is safe to say that this is
not what happens.

1) What is the default time period that the BDR waits when listening to
LSA's from the DR before it decides that the DR is down and promotes itself
to DR. All the literature we could find simply said that the BDR waits for
the specified time period but never said what that period is.

2) In a Point-to-Point network in which the router in Area 0 is connected to
FR, ISDN, X.25 or ATM branch offices (networks), how does convergence and
updates take place? From what we've found a DR and BDR is not elected in a
strictly Point-to-Point network.

I think an example would explain this question better: We  have one 3620
router in our Ft. Worth office connected to an office in Houston (via FR),
and office in Kansas City (via FR), an office in the DFW area (via ISDN) and
the owner's home (via ISDN). The 3620 is behind a firewall (Pix 520) and the
firewall is connected to a 1720 going to the Internet. I'd like to implement
OSPF on our network simply for the experience. However, I don't have 2
routers internally on our Ethernet LAN that can be configured for Area 0 and

Re: routing protocols vs Tcp/ip model

Routing protocols have network-layer functionality, regardless of whether 
they use an IP header, IP/UDP header, IP/BGP header, or no header at all 
above the MAC header (IS-IS) to transfer their information.

If we can't agree that routing protocols have network-layer functionality, 
we should just throw in the towel and agree that pigs have wings.

RE: Redistributing routes

2000-11-11 Thread Peter A van Oene

Achieving symmetric traffic flow in this situation will be challenging (using BGP).  
Without seeing your configs and getting a better feel for the network I could suggest 
you move toward an asymmetric scenario.  Simply run HSRP into your own LAN and allow 
all outbound to flow out one line, and set a MED value to direct inbound traffic to 
the other.  If you have similar inbound and outbound flows, this will work alright.  
It will provide you with redundancy at a cost of maximizing your bandwidth use.  
Alternatively, you could sacrifice a little redundancy and aggregate the two T'1s with 
MLPPP.

I would opt for the first scenario myself.However, your network could be more 
complex than this and other options may likely be viable.

RE: Some OSPF Questions

2000-11-11 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Just to put in some empirical data, I set up two routers on an Ethernet
link, in the classic OSPF broadcast scenario. Hello time is 10 seconds. Dead
time 40 seconds ( 4xhello )

I determined which of the two routers was the DR, and which was the BDR

I then plugged into and monitored from the BDR, using repeated "show ip ospf
neighbor" commands

I then unplugged the DR from the ethernet

I then repeatedly reissued the show ip ospf neighbor commands

I watched.

The result of the show command was that the neighbor state FULL/DR remained
in effect until the dead time was reached. After that, there was no
neighbor.

I also plugged it the first router back into the ethernet and repeatedly
issued the commands. After a few seconds the first router showed up as a
FULL/BDR

Of some interest - the debug ip ospf hello and debug ip ospf events were
silent immediately after unplugging the DR. It was only after the expiration
of the dead time that debug ip ospf events indicated the election of a new
DR, to whit, the router I was monitoring.

Where this 0.5 second / half second thing comes from I cannot say. But using
Cisco's defaults in a quick and dirty lab, it is safe to say that this is
not what happens.

Subject: Some OSPF Questions

Last night at our BSCN study group meeting in Dallas we had some questions
about OSPF that we weren't able to resolve. If someone or ones could answer
these it would clarify some areas we're a little fuzzy on. Also, if you're
iin the Dallas Ft. Worth area and would like to attend, we'd love to have
you join us..

Thanks for any help,

David Armstrong


1) What is the default time period that the BDR waits when listening to
LSA's from the DR before it decides that the DR is down and promotes itself
to DR. All the literature we could find simply said that the BDR waits for
the specified time period but never said what that period is.

2) In a Point-to-Point network in which the router in Area 0 is connected to
FR, ISDN, X.25 or ATM branch offices (networks), how does convergence and
updates take place? From what we've found a DR and BDR is not elected in a
strictly Point-to-Point network.

I think an example would explain this question better: We  have one 3620
router in our Ft. Worth office connected to an office in Houston (via FR),
and office in Kansas City (via FR), an office in the DFW area (via ISDN) and
the owner's home (via ISDN). The 3620 is behind a firewall (Pix 520) and the
firewall is connected to a 1720 going to the Internet. I'd like to implement
OSPF on our network simply for the experience. However, I don't have 2
routers internally on our Ethernet LAN that can be configured for Area 0 and
elected to DR and BDR. All other routers connected to that router are via
NBMA Point-to-Point connections. Since I only have one router on the
Broadcast Multiaccess network (the 3620) and routers connected via PtoP
don't participate in DR and BDR elections, how would updates occur? Can
their only be one DR (in this case the 3620)?

3) The books and tutorials all state that "router ospf 6" defines ospf on
the router with a process ID of 6. They then all say that you shouldn't
define more than one process. Does that mean that you can have a router with
the following:

router ospf 6
  network 10.100.0.0 0.0.255.255

router ospf 7
 network 10.200.0.0 0.0.255.255

If this is an allowed configuration, what kind of instances would it be used
for? Also, exactly what is the process ID used for?

RE: multiport nics or nic teaming

2000-11-11 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

I can suggest SUN Systems' "Cluster" services. If the data and connectivity
is important enough to have HSRP and redundant switches, I would check out a
cluster of 2 or more Sun servers. This software suite will allow each
machine to keep an eye on each other and if one goes down, the other will
take over. It is not trivial to do but it is much easier than trying to
force the same IP on two different ports in the same machine with automatic
redundancy.

TCP/IP does not like two identical IP addresses on the Internet or on the
same subnet much less on the same server. Since I am surrounded by SUN
servers and Cisco routers, I will suggest that if you have "machismo" you
can try configuring one port with the ifconfig command and then use the
"unplumb" switch to deactivate it. Configure the next port with the same IP
and then activate it with the "plumb" switch. If this works and it is a big
IF, (I expect the TCP/IP stack to complain) you would still have the problem
of making it fail over automatically.

In addition, SUN has the ability to place network interfaces into "Interface
Groups" but these basically have different IP addresses acting as a group.
Much like a virtual address. That is also worth a try.

Lastly, multi NICs are basically for placing a device on two or more
subnets. If the hardware manufacturer says his NIC ports can all have the
same address please let me know. I would be very interested in obtaining a
few of them myself.

RE: Some OSPF Questions

2000-11-11 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

It appears that there might be some small misunderstanding about DR and BDR
relationships.
On a Multi-access net the DR is the "pseudonode" which represents the net.
It is similar to NLSP in this regard.
All OSPF routers refresh their LSAs occasionally. The DR sends LSA type 2 to
all OSPF routers on the net. This way all routers get a refresh of who is
who etc. Hellos are only used to establish and maintain adjacencies.
Prior to 11.3 LSA's were sent every 30 minutes and all routers refreshed
their databases. Now the default for all LSAs is 4 minutes(240 sec). This is
configurable by using the command "timers lsa-group-pacing".

A BDR, being an OSPF router would miss any other OSPF router after 10 times
4 = 40 secs using the default. This will cause it to change its routing
behaviour, however the BDR to DR functionality would not take effect until
it did not see the LSA type 2 packets from the DR after the set time(4 min
default). I am not sure if that has been changed in 12.x

the DR is the only router who originates LSA type 2 packets.

Winston

You couldn't be more right!  I jumped the gun.  My response to your
question 1) was incorrect.  The BDR to Dr transition doesn't use the
Hello protocol.  The BDR listens to the LSAs from other routers
(non-DR/BDRs) but doesn't reflood or ack them unless the DR fails to.  

I still can't find the exact timer value (or what it's called-if
anything) that must go by before the BDR takes over.  I've reviewed the
RFC2328 section on flooding procedure and references to the DR/BDR,
Doyle's, Thomas' and Caslow's book but no mention of the length of time.

One response said 0.5 seconds and quoted an Exam Cram...I don't own any
Exam Cram's but shouldn't there be a source reference somewhere?  That
very well could be correct but they had to get it from some where?  Any
ideas?

Also, regarding question 3) Mr Berkowitz did come up with scenarios
where he used multiple OSPF processes on one box.  I'm sure there are
enough possible permutations of networks, as well as IOS nerd knobs, out
there that could support nearly anything.  

Generally speaking though I'd go with Cisco's guidance on this
one...this practice is highly discouraged because it can take a toll on
resources of the box.  Just my opinion :)


Thanks to all everyone out there willing to help.Frank

Re: Port Assignment with Static IP

2000-11-11 Thread willie

What are you refering to? If you want to assign the same IP address to multiple
interfaces on the same router, then you must disable routing and configure bridging. 
The
only way to get a clearer picture of what you want to accomplish is to have more 
detail.

One of the problems here is that OSI defines the application layer as 
running on top of a presentation service.  Another problem is that 
the OSI application layer definition in OSI has evolved into a much 
more object-oriented design.  The most recent thinking split layer 7 
into certain common services, such as the Application Context Service 
Element and Remote Operation Service Element, with the "applications" 
such as FTAM and MHS running above them as a set of objects (e.g., 
MHS MTA's, UA's, message stores, etc.).  ROSE is the equivalent of 
RPC.

Within the OSI protocol development community, there was the Enhanced 
Performance Architecture of the Manufacturing Automation Protocol, 
which ran a layer 7 messaging protocol, MMS, over null layers 6-3, 
using LLC type 3 (that is not a typo) as a reliable connectionless 
data link.

>

No, in the intention of the OSI Management Framework, ISO 7498-4. RIP 
and OSPF themselves (well, ISIS in the OSI literature) are layer 
management protocols.  Their parameterization and control can be, 
however, via the MIB (a concept both in CMIP and SNMP).

If you get into detailed OSI documents, you will find that the "user" 
protocol stack is assumed to have a user application.  Layer 
management, on the other hand, is seen as "self-sustaining." See both 
the management annex to the reference model and the routing framework 
document, as well as the ISIS standard.

When I had this problem assigned in a chemistry class, we measured 
the head of a pin, then assumed the extreme case of an osmium pin 
(highest density element).  Assuming that angels dance on the surface 
of the pin only, and that angels primarily exist in a particulate 
form, compute the surface electron density at the surface of the pin. 
Only surface electrons are available as dance floors. If you assume 
all angels can instantaneously exchange position during their dance, 
the number of angels equals the number of surface electrons.  If the 
angels must dance to an angel-less electron, ignoring distance, the 
number of angels is more like surface density/2.

Faster-than-light travel by use of a face drive is left as an 
exercise for the student. It is written that a milliHelen is the unit 
of face that causes the launching of one reference Greek ship. 
Interpretation of the appropriate documents shows the launch event 
occurs instanteously on application of face, without relativistic 
constraints.

OSI application services are intended to be transparent to the 
service data units presented to them.  Layer management protocols are 
consider to be specialized transfer functions, generally for 
performance reasons.

Re: Port Assignment with Static IP

2000-11-11 Thread John Hardman

Hi

Normally you would see a /30 (255.255.255.252) mask on a outside interface.
Instead use something that has a few more host IPs available on the
interface, i.e. /28 (255.255.255.240) which will give you 14 host IPs with
12 available after the interfaces are addressed.

I do not know if this is the recommend method from Cisco or not, but I am
using it without any problems at all.

Here is short example:

Int S0
ip add 12.168.10.1 255.255.255.240 (far side would be 12.168.10.2
255.255.255.240 leaving 3-14 available)
ip nat outside

int E0
ip add 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside

ip nat inside source list 19 interface S0 overload (this will overload the
12.168.10.1 address and allow internal users access via 1 IP)
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.6 80 12.168.10.3 80 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.7 80 12.168.10.4 80 extendable
(and so on)
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.17 80 12.168.10.14 80 extendable

ip access-list 19
permit 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255

Re: Cisco IOS flash image checksum verification

2000-11-11 Thread Ryan LaTorre

A good question that can save people a lot of headache in a production
environment.

When you download the IOS from CCO, there's a table that lists the filename,
file size, date published and a more info hyperlink (shown as a "?"
character.) Click on the question mark. One of the items listed is the MD5
hash of the file as verified at Cisco. After downloading the IOS, run the
md5 hash algorithm locally. The results should match. Otherwise, download
the IOS again...

You can find source code/executable binaries that calculate md5 on the net.
Although more commonly used on unix systems, there are win32
implementations. All in all, about a 60 kB download gives you peace of mind,
before the upgrade.

Here's the version of md5 for win32 that I use:

RE: Best Lab prep books? - book review

2000-11-11 Thread Chuck Larrieu

This seems as good a place as any to throw in this book review

I'm currently reading Advanced IP Routing in Cisco Networks by Terry
Slattery and Bill Burton
( McGraw Hill ISBN 0-07-058144-4 )

Very good book, particularly when you approach it with the understanding
that:

1) this is not a substitute for Doyle, Halabi, or any number of other fine
books. this book assumes certain fundamental understanding. It does not go
into the depth that Doyle does. Yes there are some things that are explained
a bit differently, and perhaps a bit more clearly. There are a lot of things
that will make no sense if you don't already have some understanding of
routing and particularly Cisco routing

2) there are LOTS of lab / study exercises. What makes this book
particularly useful is that there are lots of configuration examples,
numbered line by line, with the text referring to particular lines to
emphasize or clarify points.

3) Many of the exercises can be done with only three routers

4) The chapter on redistribution is particularly useful in terms of
configurations and show command outputs. All of the examples are based on a
three router pod ( except for the last two- eigrp-ospf and complex, which is
rip2, eigrp, and ospf. Both these are 6 router pods )

I have not finished the book yet. What remains for me to read are chapters
on NAT, static connectivity to the internet, BGP, and troubleshooting. But
from what I have read so far, I am looking forward to some good and useful
material in an easy to read format with lots of examples from show and debug
outputs.

I think that this book is well worth adding to one's study materials,
particularly for Lab preparation.

Also, I remind everyone, pick up a copy of my assembled tips for Lab
preparation as provided by three different CCIE's who have been regular
participants here at groupstudy, and who passed the Lab on their first try.

www.chuck.to/CCIEAdvice.txt   file name is case sensitive. Web site is still
feeble but getting there.

RE: routing protocols vs Tcp/ip model

2000-11-11 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Howard, I know we've had this discussion before here on groupstudy. I also
accept that there remains a lot of confusion of OSI terminology with PC
terminology. I.e. application on a PC versus OSI application.

That said, I am looking at the Certification Zone OSI paper. In it is the
statement that the application layer provides common services to specific
application programs, including file transfer, messaging ( not in the sense
of e-mail messages ), directory lookups, etc. ( I have paraphrased this a
bit, but I believe this is true to the original sentences )

If I have a Linux box, and on that Linux box I am running RIP and OSPF, am I
not running user applications? Is the operation of those applications using
services at the OSI application layer? I.e. receiving messages, sending
messages, doing what might be arguably called "file transfers" etc. ? The
purpose of the user applications ( as opposed to the OSI application layer )
is to  provide particular functions and distribute particular information,
is it not?

A router is a computer, after all. It's architecture is based on the Von
Neuman model. It has a CPU and memory and software that performs various
operations and functions.  The is an operating system that handles the i/o
and integrated into that operating system are the various - dare I say it? -
functions or "applications"? ( as an aside, isn't this what Microsoft is
getting bonged for doing? :-> )

I agree that it is not the best use of time to spend countless hours
messages arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

But I do wonder if the code that results in a BGP table, or an OSPF database
might by some standards be considered "user applications" which in turn use
functions that are defined within the OSI application layer ( e.g. file
transfer - routing updates? - notification messages - hello packets?
LSA's? )

Yes, routing is a layer three function, but is it incorrect to say that
there are things going on at other layers that make the layer 3 functions
possible?

I'd agree with exchange data and update each other. Try approaching
this from a different direction.  Can we agree that the endpoints of
an application layer communication are identified with application
layer identifiers (e.g., TCP port plus application-specific
information such as email user names), transport layer communications
have transport layer endpoint identifiers (address plus port), etc.?

The routers don't have application or transport identifiers (yes, I
know about BGP). Routing protocols control devices at the network
layer.  The endpoints of communication between routers are IP
addresses, even if higher-layer mechanisms such as TCP are used for
actual information transfer.

One of the problems in understanding real-world protocols is that
they may do things in an indirect manner.  Think of tunneling, where
you have to do a recursive lookup of two headers to determine the
real next hop.  BGP is a network layer control/management protocol
that uses TCP for its transfer.

In contrast, SNMP does work at the application layer.  Its endpoints
are identified by the combination of an IP address, a UDP port, and a
MIB identifier.

I assume you are talking about NAT/PAT, as your post is a little short on
info.

Anyway, think about it for a minute, how would it possible for one IP to
have two of the same port? So what you need to do is have a subnet on your
outside interface that has enough IPs in it so that you can assign multiple
identical ports on the outside interface.

Old Question...Catalyst 5000

2000-11-11 Thread Aaron Moreau-Cook

I've been trying to study for the Building Cisco Multilayer Switched
Networks exam, and am about to walk out the door right now to take it.

I'm pretty much setting myself for failure, I just simply don't have the
experience with switches. Sure we've got a few 2924XL's at work, but it
doesn't cut it.

The question... How much should I expect to pay for a Catalyst 5000? Nothing
fancy, just the basics.

Re: PAT

2000-11-11 Thread willie

PAT can be used when there is a  limited number of IP addresses available for a NAT 
pool
or when the NAT pool becomes exhausted and an over flow method is needed. Keep in mind
that when using PAT, some applications do not operate well or some fail to operate.

Re: ONE or TWO PIXs

It depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want redundacy, do you want ease of
administration, etc. You must ask yourself how criticial the internet is to your
business and if the internet plays a major role in the way your company conducts
business.  Having two PIX boxes can eliminate at least one single point of failure.

RE: routing protocols vs Tcp/ip model

>

>

>update each other

I'd agree with exchange data and update each other. Try approaching 
this from a different direction.  Can we agree that the endpoints of 
an application layer communication are identified with application 
layer identifiers (e.g., TCP port plus application-specific 
information such as email user names), transport layer communications 
have transport layer endpoint identifiers (address plus port), etc.?

The routers don't have application or transport identifiers (yes, I 
know about BGP). Routing protocols control devices at the network 
layer.  The endpoints of communication between routers are IP 
addresses, even if higher-layer mechanisms such as TCP are used for 
actual information transfer.

One of the problems in understanding real-world protocols is that 
they may do things in an indirect manner.  Think of tunneling, where 
you have to do a recursive lookup of two headers to determine the 
real next hop.  BGP is a network layer control/management protocol 
that uses TCP for its transfer.

In contrast, SNMP does work at the application layer.  Its endpoints 
are identified by the combination of an IP address, a UDP port, and a 
MIB identifier.

RE: routing protocols vs Tcp/ip model

2000-11-11 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

Your instructor is one of the all-too-large group of people who try 
to coerce things into a simplistic OSI model. Priscilla calls this 
coercing protocols into OSI layers. It's really not the fault of OSI, 
because there are documents that supplement the original model, such 
as the Rout(e)ing Framework, Internal Organization of the Network 
Layer, Management Annex, etc.

The OSI stack principally was drawn to show how standard 
communications service user applications, which run on top of the 
service interface to the application layer. Management was something 
of an afterthought, and what is called system management -- think 
SNMP, or the OSI rough equivalent, CMIP -- does indeed involve an 
application layer protocol and a management application above it.

Routing, error notification, etc., are considered layer management. 
There is nothing "above" them; they are part of the infrastructure 
for a given layer. So,all of them are logically layer 3.

The issue of the mechanism they use to transfer information between 
them is independent of the layer they manage.  In Chuck's table 
below, EIGRP and OSPF do have transport functions that are part of 
their own design--which have a TCP-like flavor. For that matter, ISIS

Im not sure whats going on - Ive had the same experience but it hasnt
seemed to work recently.  I think it might have been only the books they
had a surplus of that got sent across.

If anyone from cisco is reading this you have *no* idea how annoying it
is to spend 20 minutes reading the marketing stuff that goes with the
books (because some of us actually do read it instead of going straight
for the CCO users button), then fill in all the details, click the next
button and see "US and Canada only".  It actually doesnt do you much
good either as you generally feel cheated out of those 20 minutes and
let down after getting all excited.  Besides if anyone did that over
here theyd be in court quick as a flash for breaching contract since the
eager punter has completed their end of the bargain and given you the
marketing info before its mentioned.

Anyways, thanks for the ones you have sent across :)

Best Lab prep books?

2000-11-11 Thread Brian Lodwick

Group,
  I know this question has been asked quite a few times but I couldn't find 
any particularly on the lab study guides from the archives lately, only the 
ones on great study material in general for the CCIE like Halabi's BGP book 
and Radia Perlmans Interconnections. I am looking for input on which ones 
people prefer for the lab preparation like the Giles lab study guide or 
Caslows or if there is another one better.
  I know I remember a while ago reading other listings and I think they were 
saying Caslows book was good, but at the time I wasn't even thinking about 
the CCIE at all and didn't pay enough attention. Thanks in advance guys!

Hiya - from the sounds of things you have got quite a job there :)

You might want to look at linking up with these guys -
http://www.freenet6.net/
theyve been doing similar things for a while although I think its more
aimed at application developers and netkids who want to try it.

http://www.ipv6.org/impl/routers.html has links to where to get the ipv6
beta software for lots of different routers.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/ipv6/index.html has links for betas
of ios 12.2 with ipv6 and a whole bunch of white papers etc. on ipv6.

http://www.ip6.com/ is the homepage of a book on ip6 specifically geared
towards cisco routers - not sure if its any goood or not, but on the
plus side they have a free downloadable ipv6 protocol analyser

freebies

2000-11-11 Thread ian gomeche

i would like to make a comment regarding the thread on cisco free stuff.

i am based in the UK.

 a few months back i completed the questionaire to get my free copy of 'IP
Telephony' by Mcgraw Hill . when i got to the end, i noticed to my annoyance
'only valid in US and Canada' or something.


Anyway, i had gone so far that I continued.

lo and behold, a few weeks later my book arrived.

moral of the story?   apply anyway wherever you are. you never know!

right i'm off to apply for my free alarm clock thingy.

ian

P.S. i'm STILL having to wade through gallons of HTML rubbish on this list
which i should not have to.

i still do not understand how people who do not understand how to turn off
HTML or who don't see why they should can honestly expect to pass tricky
CISCO exams.

Re: routing protocols vs Tcp/ip model

2000-11-11 Thread George Susini

According to the Cisco BSCN material,

IGRP uses protocol number 9 and exist at layer 4

RIP uses protocol number 520 (UDP) and exist at layer 7

OSPF uses protocol number 89 but does not idicate where it resides

EIGRP uses protocol number 88 resides at layer 4

and BGP uses port number 179 and relies on TCP

Very confusing .

6509 Question

2000-11-11 Thread Kevin Welch

Ok, this is a follow up to my e-mail last night, as it would seem, the
problem was not with my route configuration, but rather with the MSFC
detcing a link failure.  So here goes the next round of questions.

I have two 6509's configured for redundant connectivity.  I am trying to get
the MSFC to detect a link failure at Layer2 so that the routing table will
be updated and packets can traverse the alternate path.  The problem seems
to be that when all ports fail in a VLAN that the VLAN is still considered
up.  

Is there any way to get the MSFC to view a port on the catalyst as a single
interface and detect a failure on that link?  If not, how can I have layer 3
redundancy in the event of a link/module failure?

Any help appreciated
