In the IETF and similar forums, you'll often hear MPLS called "ATM 
without cells."  As transmission rates become faster, some of the 
problems that ATM was intended to solve go away. When an OC-192 (10 
Gbps) medium can send an entire frame faster than an OC-3 might send 
a cell or a few cells, the better interleaving of cells becomes a lot 
less important.

Also, forwarding components have been getting faster, and the fixed 
cell length is less important in achieving a fast forwarding rate. 
You still need to look at the IP header to set up MPLS label switched 
paths (LSP) and to assign a packet to a LSP at the edge, but label 
lookup and forwarding has comparable performance in ATM and MPLS.

Photonic switching, where traffic is rerouted based at the high-speed 
stream level rather than the packet or cell level, isn't here in 
production, but it is coming rapidly.  Photonic switching will 
complement, not replace, routing.  Please do not get me started on 
the buzzword of "optical routing."  With the capacity of newer 
optical transmission, bandwidth becomes much cheaper than forwarding 
logic, and some conventional bandwidth-conserving methods simply 
won't be important in large networks.

To give some perspective, OC-192 (approximately 10 Gbps) is getting 
to be reasonably standard in carrier networks. Juniper routers have 
had some lead on Cisco in doing efficient forwarding at these speeds.

The next speed level is OC-768 (approximately 40 Gbps).  Chip 
designers don't have immediate strategies for increasing single 
stream speed above this rate.

On the other hand, the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) 
people can carry multiple OC-192's and OC-768's on a single fiber, 
and switch these streams  today with partially photonic components. 
Transmission systems that can carry 160 OC-192's on a single fiber 
are commercially available, and my transmission colleagues tell me 
that 320 streams will be available in the near term. DWDM will be 
available for multiple OC-768's on the same fiber, and, of course, 
carriers install more than one fiber at a time.

For those of you that subscribe to IEEE Spectrum magazine, the 
current issue has some nice overview of these and other emerging 
technologies.

Are Traditional Routing Protocols going to DIE

2001-02-10 Thread Santosh Koshy

With new & emerging technologies like (Gig Eth, 10 Gig Eth, e.t.c), I am
beggining to wonder how scalable or well suited today's routing protocols
(OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP, e.tc. ) are to manage them effectively.

I stubled across something while reading about delay calculations on a IGRP
/ EIGRP network... maybe you guys can help..

The bandwith component of a metric is calculated by dividing 10,000,000 by
bandwith in Kbps.
Eth = 10,000,000 / 10,000 = 1000
Fast Eth = 10,000,000 / 100,000 = 100
Gig Eth = 10,000,000 / 1,000,000 = 10
10 Gig Eth = 10,000,000 / 10,000,000 = 1
New Fangled Eth (not yet invented) = 10,000,000 /  100,000,000 = 0.1

As you can see delay will be calculated in thousands of microseconds and we
end up getting fractional numbers.. I highly doubt  IOS can use
fractional numbers to calulate delay.. Are todays's routers capable of
making such calculations with an easy IOS upgrade

Thanks,

I think you are making an inherent assumption that the ability to 
have precise metrics is essential to routing protocols.  That's less 
and less the case. There are, however, limiting factors for 
conventional IGPs.  My feeling is that they will continue to be 
evolved rather than be replaced by new paradigms.

First, bandwidth often is cheap, as in campus or photonic networks. 
Fine distinctions aren't that important.  Where there is a bandwidth 
limitation (e.g., wireless), there's a whole range of relevant 
techniques at all OSI layers.

Second, topology, in well designed networks, usually is more 
important than metric.

Third, static bandwidth and delay do not reflect utilization, and 
(E)IGRP style utilization at the link  level don't scale to routes of 
any complexity.  Traffic engineering extensions to OSPF and ISIS, or 
strategies like Optimized Multipath (OSPF-OMP, ISIS-TE) take a more 
reasoned view of reservation and utilization.

In general, my feeling is that we will be more concerned with metrics 
as orders of magnitude rather than precise numbers that fit all. Yes, 
it's possible to have low-bandwidth radio links and GigE in the same 
network, but they are in different parts of the network and would be 
optimized locally.  For example, I dealt with one military network 
where the 2.4 Kbps tactical radio links needed some optimization due 
to very low bandwidth, but this optimization needed to take place at 
the access tier.  Once they were into the fixed network, in 
comparison with 2.4 vs. 4.8 Kbps (poor vs. better radio), the 10-1000 
Mbps Ethernets were effectively infinite resources.

Now, there are issues, and controversial ones, with convergence time. 
Current IGP's typically reconverge in tens of seconds, which is too 
slow for certain services such as voice call setup.  In other 
services, nothing is broken.  A good summary of some issues in 
speeding IGP convergence, specifically for ISIS but generally 
applicable, is http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0010/igp.html

Fast response to convergence may be OK in an IGP, but, in the context 
of the global Internet, may contribute to instability.  There is much 
controversy and theoretical work going on in global BGP convergence. 
See http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0010/labovitz.html.  Some of the 
complexities being explored in the research community deal variously 
with BGP's path vector algorithm itself, with the issue of 
constraint-based BGP routing (path vector can be guaranteed to 
converge only when additional constraints, such as AS path length and 
MED, are not considered), and operational use of constraints and 
policies.

  Single router BGP convergence is a related but different problem I'm 
working on defining, see my rough draft at 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-berkowitz-bgpcon-00.txt.

Re: Are Traditional Routing Protocols going to DIE

2001-02-10 Thread Yonkerbonk

I'm not sure increased bandwidth would affect routing
policy. That's an interesting question though.
As far as the granularity of the delay formula, they
will probably do the same as they did with calculating
Spanning-Tree path costs. With the old calculations
(1000MB/Bandwidth), Fastethernet would be 10
(1000/100) and anything a Gig or higher would be 1 or
fractional. So they instituted non-linear numbers such
as a cost of 19 for a 100MB link and 4 for a 1 GB link
and 2 for a 10 GB link.
I would like to hear discussions about the first part
of the question though.

Yes, SLARP is very cool... when you want it.  When you don't, it sure
adds a bunch of time -- if the SLARP succeeds, then IOS gets very patient

Signs of LANE Incompatability (Nortel & Cisco) ???

2001-02-10 Thread Circusnuts


I have "ZERO" experience in this arena...  here goes.  I believe I'm
seeing the result of compatibility issues between Nortel equipment
(Centillion LANE switches) & Cisco gear (7513).  This setup has existed
for some time with version 11.1 IOS on the 7500.  I'd been told stories from
veterans of the IT department, stating the 11.1 could never be changed due
to communication issues between the Nortel & Cisco boxes.  We'll- the day
had come to retire the AIP's (switching to VIP's & PA's) & move from an RSP2
to an RSP4 (both not recognizable to 11.1 IOS).  Of course- I now have
unstable LANE services (with NO indications of trouble on the 7500).
Process CPU, Memory, Show LANE...  everything is perfect on the Cisco side,
but the Centillions are dropping throughout the building (proir to this, the
RSP2 was saturated- so that issue has changed for the good)  The obvious
conclusion is for me to trouble shoot the Nortel equipment.  My "BIGGEST" of
questions here is... where would one start when looking for incompatibility
issues ???

Generally- what are the "tell-tail- signs ???"

Are the clues usually that nothing appears to be wrong, but everything "IS"
 wrong ???

Actually, this makes no sense -- the ARP reply isn't a broadcast :|

So I wonder why it wouldn't work for both NICs to reply.

What happens when a requestor sees two replies to an ARP request ?
Does he accept the first and drop the second?
Accept the first, use it for his original IP packet, then update his ARP
cache with the second reply and subsequent packets use the second
MAC address?

I don't think that this is correct (yikes !! :)
If the server is not acting as a bridge how could the two connections
matter, vis-a-vis STP.

In fact, Intel touts just a solution with their NIC "teaming" concept,
without FEC (although they also support that).  They support their
2-port adapters as well as separate adapters -- in fact, IIRC, they
don't even have to be the same speed !.  In their solution, though, the
load balancing is on output only, implying that the "primary" NIC is the
only one that answers ARPs.  The "teaming" also supports automatic
failover upon NIC port failure.

This relates to a scenario I described a short while back, the only
difference being that the 2 ports on the (NT) server were connected
to different switches (which addresses your concern about the single
point of failure at the switch).

I had raised a question as to why both NICs couldn't answer and get some
kind of load balancing on the input, as well.  I got no response from
the list.  But, upon reflection, I'm thinking that devices seeing the
ARP reply are supposed to clear or update their cache if they have a
different MAC cached (I'm too lazy to go look at the RFC).  Thus there
could be a wholotta ARPing going on.

Comments?

Multiple Fast EtherChannel aware NICs can load-share on the same
VLAN.  Otherwise, the 802.1D spanning tree algorithm will block more
than one card; you will get failover but no load distribution.

By putting them into different VLANs, you can get load-sharing,
assuming, of course, that the higher layers know how to distribute
the load.   The ideal situation is that your clients could be
configured with primary and secondary server addresses.

At some point, you need to consider, in your fault tolerance model,
what to do if either the server or the 6509 itself fails.  Frankly,
I'd consider isolated NIC failures less likely than either of these
cases. Other people may have different experience.

If you are going to have different NICs, do consider running them to
different wire closets, or otherwise maximizing cable plant
diversity. Never underestimate the power of a less than clueful
wiring technician.

A inquiry about ARP behavior, vendors, and differences

2001-02-10 Thread Raj Singh

NOTE: Long email / question ... regarding ARP and Proxy ARP behavior with
different vendors OS.

A inquiry about ARP behavior, vendors, and differences.

Does the way a host machine behave during the ARP process differ amongst
different OS manufacturers, in relationship to when Proxy ARP can be
implement and when it can't be.

This inquiry should not be mistaken with "is proxy ARP a good idea or bad
idea" question. I just want to find some behavior facts out. Thanks.

Given the following situation:

 ClientA   ClientB
  |  |
||
 |
 |
 X
 {ROUTER}
 Y
  |
  |
|-|
|
 ClientC

Settings:

ClientA: 192.168.12.5 /24
ClientB: 192.168.12.6 /24
ClientC: 192.168.20.101 /24

Interface X on Router: 192.168.12.1 /24
Interface Y on Router: 192.168.20.1 /24
Proxy ARP enabled on both router interfaces

None of the clients have been configured with a default gateway setting.

The operating systems are Windows 98. (Though if you prefer you can say it
is NT 4.0)

The basic statement that I have a question about:

According to Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP vol. 1, book on page 69-70 in
quotes below -

"... For example, a host 192.168.12.5/24 needs to send a packet to
192.168.20.101/24, but is not configured with default gateway information
and therefore does no know how to reach a router. It may issue an ARP
request for 192.168.20.101; the local router, receiving the request and
knowing how to reach network 192.168.20.0, will issue an ARP reply with it's
own data link identifier in the hardware address field. In effect, the
router has tricked the local host into thinking that the router's interface
is the interface of 192.168.20.101. All packets destined for that address
will be send to the router. ..."

The question itself:

The question I have with this is that under a Windows environment at least
in my experience, The decision making process is as follows when trying to d
o an address resolution (ARP Request).

Sender looks at it's own IP address and Subnet Mask compares it to the
target machines IP address to determine if on the same subnetwork. If it is
so . an ARP request is issued. But if the Sender's IP address and the Target
's IP address are not part of the same subnetwork . the sending machine
looks for it's default gateway and does an ARP request for it.

Thus the problem is . if there is no default gateway setup for the sender .
It won't even attempt to do an ARP request . it will IMMEDIATELY say .
Destination host unreachable.

Demonstration 1:

ClientA: 192.168.12.5 /24 PINGSClientC: 192.168.20.101 /24

Notice in the PING results below, where Client A pinging Client C, with the
start and end time there is only a 6/100ths of a second difference from the
start of the ping statement to it informing us no can do. Also note with a
sniffer on the line there are no packets generated either from the pinging
machine.

Current time is  4:25:34.81p  <-- Start Time

Pinging 192.168.20.101 with 32 bytes of data:

Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 192.168.20.101:

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum =  0ms, Average =  0ms

--

Demonstration 2:

ClientA: 192.168.12.5 /24 PINGS192.168.12.88 (non-existent client)

On the other hand if Client A attempts to ping a machine that it believes
has an IP address on the same subnet the following results would occur.
(Given the IP address being pinged is actually in the range of valid address
for that subnet ... but is not in use at the current moment).

You would get the message "Request timed out". By the way notice the start
and end time below. I can show a sniffer capture also .. but won't . there
are actual packets that left the pinging machines interface (ARP requests).

Current time is  4:28:11.41p <-- Start time

Pinging 192.168.12.88 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Demonstration 3:

ClientA: 192.168.12.5 /24 PINGSClientB: 192.168.12.6 /24

A normal ping on the same subnet, works as expected.

2001-02-10 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

Yes, it's definitely worth mentioning that SLARP can be a pain, especially 
in a lab environment or training classroom. You connect two routers 
together over a serial back-to-back cable. Turn on one router and configure 
the IP address and subnet mask. Turn on the other router, and if you're not 
quick, the darn thing will SLARP. Then it sits there forever (seems like 
forever at least), doing reverse DNS to find its name, and trying to find a 
TFTP server to download the rest of its config. To make matters worse it 
puts the "service config" command in the config file, which causes it to 
look for a server every time you reboot (if you save the config).

A few times a month we get the question about the router looking for its 
config from a server. The answers always say to add "no service config" to 
your config, but the answers don't explain how the annoying "service 
config" line got in your config to start with. It's probably that slippery 
SLARP.

To be totally accurate, it's AutoInstall that does this, but that's not s 
fun to say. &;-) SLARP is one component of AutoInstall in an HDLC 
environment. AutoInstall can also work with Frame Relay, Ethernet, Token 
Ring, and FDDI, according to the doc here:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/fun_c/fcprt1/fccfgtoo.htm

Thanks for the great ideas on making TCP more relevant to my students,

NAP is a historical term for what more frequently is called an

increasing number worldwide.  There's normally a panel discussion on 
"news from the exchanges" at each NANOG meeting 
(http://www.nanog.org), and there are exchange working group meetings 
at the RIPE meetings for Europe (http://www.ripe.net)  Before even

http://www.cisco.com/public/cons/isp/documents/IOSEssentials_Seminar.zip

BGP Routing Workshop
 
http://www.cisco.com/public/cons/workshops/bgp/

I discuss some aspects of exchange points in my BGP tutorial series 
at http://www.certificationzone.com.  This coming weekend, at NANOG 
in Atlanta, I'll be doing an exterior routing tutorial that will 
partially discuss exchanges and POPs. Slides should be up by Sunday. 
The presentations may be webcast, but I'm not sure. Check the NANOG 
site.

The classic exchange point design features a carrier-grade physical 
facility, racks for the individual providers' routers, and a common 
layer 2 (sometimes layer 3) fabric to interconnect them.  In the 
original NAPs, the providers often kept the BGP workload down by not 
having a direct BGP connection to every other provider there, but to 
one or more route servers -- BGP code running on UNIX boxes that do 
no forwarding, but build the maps of the exchange point. Today, there 
is less emphasis on the route servers for primary BGP, but there is 
still peering to them for statistics gathering.

Some exchanges use a distributed switched fabric, so there is not one 
physical room.  Instead, the participating providers are linked by 
ATM.

It's something of an urban legend that the top-level providers do 
significant traffic exchange at the exchange points.  At that level, 
they are far more likely to have private peerings over direct OC-3 or 
faster links.  Exchange points, however, are useful for medium level 
providers in a given urban or geographic area.  Indeed, there is an 
ever-growing trend to having metropolitan exchange points among 
cooperating ISPs in small cities.

The traditional exchange is for ISPs only, but the line between 
hosting centers and exchanges is constantly getting more blurry.

Large provider POPs are not necessarily smaller than exchanges, but 
simply have a different management and operational model.

I don't want to be negative, but if someone hasn't been playing in 
the ISP area for a while, is familiar with the NANOG/RIPE materials, 
etc., they aren't remotely ready to design a carrier-grade POP or 
exchange by themselves.  Cisco consulting engineers, and I'd assume 
Juniper as well, can be very helpful when such a project is being 
considered.

Yes. You would have to do some testing to determine which ones ARP for 
non-local stations and which don't. (It sounds like you already did some 
testing.) When I used to teach the CIT class, one of the "bugs" we inserted 
was to remove the default gateway in the PC. The goal was to make it 
impossible for the PC to reach non-local stations. We also had to insert 
"no proxy arp" in the router config, because sometimes removing the default 
gateway didn't cause a problem. We were at the mercy of whatever TCP/IP 
implementation happened to be on the PC. Different vendors, different OSs, 
different versions worked differently.

One other trick is to set the default gateway to the station's own address. 
For some strange reason, on some OSs this causes the station to ARP for 
non-local addresses.

Re: IP Multicast Addressing

2001-02-10 Thread NeoLink2000

The 239.255.255.255 is the highest in that subnet. D class starts at 224 
(1110) and then E class would start at 240 (). This makes the D class 
range of addresses: 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. Therefor if D class 
addresses are used for multicasting then the 239.255.255.255 address would be 
the last address in that range before falling into an E class address. Here 
are the ranges:

A = 1.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255
B = 128.0.0.0 - 191.255.255.255
C = 192.0.0.0 - 123.255.255.255
D = 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255   << Here is the multicast range (I believe)
E = 240.0.0.0 - 247.255.255.255

Re: A inquiry about ARP behavior, vendors, and differences

2001-02-10 Thread Raj Singh

Thanks for confirming my suspicions, though one question on the  part about
setting the default gateway on a host to point to it's own ip address ...
would it behave the same way if the default gateway was set to a loopback
address of 127.x.x.x also. Or did that change the behavior ?

Thanks again.

Centillions have a known (or had anyway) incompatibility in the UNI

Re: Appletalk over frame-relay

2001-02-10 Thread d_glosser

I would stay away from routing appletalk across a Wide Area Network.
Although only 10% of our nodes are Macs, almost 50% of our LAN and WAN
traffic was appletalk. We've just switched to desktop printing and use
AppleshareIP instead of Appletalk for file sharing (our server is a
W2K server). Users have reported file sharing and printing are 2-3x
faster.

RE: passed the CCNP routing!

2001-02-10 Thread Fred Danson

Actually there were a whole lot of questions on EIGRP and OSPF in that test. 
Also, make sure you have a strong mathematical perspective on 
subnetting/supernetting. Im always trying to teach people how subnetting and 
supernetting really work, not just how to do it with some formula that they 
learned in a book somewhere.

Re: passed the CCNP routing!

2001-02-10 Thread Fred Danson

Dear Hui,

 I read the Syngress book for the 640-503 exam. I would strongly 
recommend that you learn from a different book, because the Syngress is FULL 
of errors. If you dont have a very good instructor (like I did) to go with 
that book, then you will walk away feeling very confused.
 I also bought the examcram book which I thought was somewhat helpful. I 
didn't actually read the examcram book, all I did was take the tests in the 
end of all the chapters, and in the end of the book. I think 3-4 of the 
questions on the test were EXACT matches to 3-4 of the ones in the examcram 
book.
 Good luck with your studying, and dont be afraid to take the test. It 
really isn't ALL that hard. Just make sure you have a strong understand of 
the concepts.

Sincerely,
Fred

RE: can the module of 7010 be used in 7500 or 7200?

2001-02-10 Thread Daniel Cotts

The 7010 uses the CX series of cards. Many can be used in a 7500. Check the
Rev(ision) number. The older ones often won't work. There is a list stating
which cards do work. I use an old paper Cisco catalog for my list.
If you have the card in a router and do a "show diagbus" the ouput will show
if it is 7500 compatible.
The 7200 series use the smaller port adapter (PA) subinterfaces. In a 7500
they would be daughter cards to a VIP2 card. The CX series won't work in a
7200.

I was going to say "Sho CDP Neighbor Detail," but now that I think about
it... I don't believe Cisco routers have serial #'s burned into their
hardware.  These #'s are stamped or taped to the chassis only.  There has
been many-a-time I've opened TAC warranty cases, only to find the sticky
part of the serial # sticker left on the router...

RE: Networkers toolkit question

2001-02-10 Thread Daniel Cotts

I just checked out that Ultimate kit and found that I don't use much of it.
We don't all perform the same tasks - so each will choose different tools. I
tend to like fewer tools but each must be top quality. Another issue is how
to carry them. Will you have to travel (as in check it on a plane)? Do you
really want to put everything that you might ever want in one box? Usually
large and heavy - not a good idea.
Tone trace tool Progressive 700C - comes with a pouch. Has a composite tip
so you don't short pairs when running a 66 block. Heck - just turn up the
volume - hold it in one hand - and run the block with your index finger from
the other hand. Much faster.
To break out an RJ-45 plug or jack buy two Siemon MODAPT adapters. Makes it
easy to ring out a cable for opens and shorts. Use the continuity tester
from the Progressive tool above.
Buy two or three short jumpers with alligator clips on each end. Most likely
from Radio Shack. Allows you to put a short across two wires using the
MODAPT.
RJ-45 plug crimp tool. AMP 2-231652-0 Expensive. Does the job every time.
AMP 5-569278-3 Box of 100 RJ-45 plugs. Uses the cheater insert to line up
the wires.
Punch down tool. Harris. I have a D-914
Blades for the tool.  101 block style for RJ-45 jacks. 66 block style for
Telco punch downs. (almost never used)
Harris makes a plastic case to hold spare blades. Useful.
Splicers scissors.  Mine are Klein 2100-7 Cable guys rarely use any other
tool.
Small diagonal cutting pliers. Mine are Klein D528V
Medium long nose pliers with wire stripping nose. Klein D2291
Mini Mag Lite - small flashlight.
Assorted screwdrivers. #1 and #2 phillips. 1/4" flat. Small pocket size too.
Cables and adapters as you need them. Data Comm Warehouse.
Electrical outlet tester. One style plugs into an outlet. Three lights give
status.
Case. I use an old attache style fiber case. It just fits my needs better
than anything else that I have seen. I don't travel much. When I do, I hand
carry it. From Specialized in Texas. Not even in the catalog. Ellis CA8190. 
Sources. Specialized great catalog prices high.
Anixter decent prices.
Graybar decent prices.
There are other companies that cater to the telco market.
If you need a tool once, improvise if you don't have it. If you need it a
second time, start shopping. By the third time buy it.
Hope that you receive many replies.

RE: passed the CCNP routing!

2001-02-10 Thread Fred Danson

I dont really know of any good books about supernetting/subnetting, but if 
you were to look, make sure it fully explains it. Find a book that explains 
it from a mathematical point of view, because that is the essence of 
supernetting/subnetting. It is pure binary math :)

A lot of people who got by on the CCNA by memorizing a number different 
formulas would have a lot of trouble on the CCNP. They really test you on 
the CCNP routing exam. Someone posted a really good 3com route summarization 
site on groupstudy about a week ago, but I forgot what the link was

RE: Networking White Papers (NAP and BGP)

2001-02-10 Thread Peter Van Oene

That certainly helps.  To me, the term NAP is in some ways antiquated.  I expected 
that you were thinking L3 IXP based on your description but wanted to make sure.  The 
concept of building a large scale NAP similar to those that you mention seems rather 
grand to me :)  

I can send you off list a couple documents on building IXP's at both layer 2 and layer 
3.  As well, the documents that Howard referenced are likely excellent sources of 
information as well.  But I do concur, and all bias aside, if you are looking to build 
something on a large scale you are likely wise to tap into some focused consulting 
resources, most of which I expect lie at Cisco and Juniper.  

If you would like the pdf's I have, please let me know.  I can't link to them as I do 
not recall from whence I thieved them.

RE: Serial number via telnet

2001-02-10 Thread Andrew Cook

Here's some ideas for serial #:

1. If you have the right CCO access, you can go into online ordering and
pull up a particular PO and view the serial #s online.  You might be able to
get your vendor to do this for you if you don't have a direct purchase
account.
2. The serial # is always on the box the router came in if you happen to
have that somewhere.
3. The serial # may be on paperwork (POs, packing lists, etc) in your
accounting department.
4. I always use 'snmp-server chassis-id SERIAL#' when configuring so I can
then get the # via telnet or snmp.
5. CiscoWorks gets the serial #s for connected hardware, but not the chassis
itself.
6. Catalysts seem to go against this - I do believe you get the actual
chassis serial # for a Catalyst (at least the set-based) via cdp, telnet,
and CW.

Hope this helps!

What "dialer load-threshold" does is, define the load level that must be

I bought the network kit that looked the best. Even though about 1/3 of

Re: PPP Multilink or Cisco BoD

2001-02-10 Thread Adam Burgess

Correct - although you don't need to specify 'dialer load-threshold' in
order to bring up multiple channels, as if it is specified without ppp
multilink, it enables bandwidth on demand and seems to provide the same
throughput as ppp multilink.

If you specify dialer load-threshold AND ppp multilink, then the interfacses
switches to 'industry standard' ppp multilink.

I was curious if there were any benefits (ie. bandwidth utilisation, delay,
CPU time, memory, etc) to be gained by using bandwidth on demand without ppp
multilink.

Re: Traffic Shaping and Access control

2001-02-10 Thread Erick B.

need two route-map sequences. One to match on www and
set next hop to R3 and the other to set next hop for
all other traffic to R2.
