Re: CCIE Lab Report - unsuccesful

Chuck,

I am truly sorry, and I am also supremely confident that you will 
someday be Chuck, CCIE.  You have been an example to the group both 
in sharing your preparation methods, and, equally important, your 
philosophical/emotional approach.

Unfortunately, Dilbert's management sometimes wins.  That isn't to 
say, in this case, that the lab wasn't tough but fair. But...things 
happen.

2001-04-07 Thread Traceroute

Had a similar situation last year, guy is a fake CCNA, lies his way into the
company (interview and all) gets a more senior position, then starts asking me
and everyone else how to do stuff and blowing off assignments until someone
does them. So I think h oppurtunity!, I start happily doing his work (boss
knows) and working on CCNA and then CCNP. Guy continues screwing off and even
sneaks away from work (everyone knows), so whats next?, he dissapears once too
many, gets fired and I get his job and a fat raise to go along with the CCNP
stamp and good on the job experience.. Happy Ending ;-)

It all has to do with where you (or the person making the comments) are
coming from.  Someone without certs won't value them at all.  Someone with a
number of certs will usually place a high value on the certs.

Of course, experience is everything.  We've a guy at our office with his
MCSE+DBA who couldn't recall any SQL if you asked him today.  He took and
passed the 3 required SQL tests last year after brain-dumping and taking
them repeatedly (2-3 times per test, I believe).  Every time we get an SQL
problem, I love sending the call to him and then watch him try to wiggle his
way out of it.

It took him 3 tries to pass the CCNAv2, and now he's on to the CCNP.  He
wanted to know why he should do the Remote Access test instead of the
Routing test.  He's worked with ISDN and T1s and perhaps a few frame
connections.  I asked him, "What can you tell me about OSPF, EIGRP or BGP,"
and he said, "EIGRP is a routing protocol like RIP, and I guess the rest are
routing protocols."

Sorry, I'm venting.  I'm just hoping we're not paying him much.  I've run
across a number of people I'd like to hire to replace him.  His idea of
research is beeping everyone in the office on their Nextels until he finds
out what he needs.

It was the funniest night:  3 of us were sitting around last year playing
with Windows 2000.  I got the first beep from him, asking a general
question, and I replied back with a general answer.  He beeped one of the
other guys in the room with me with a question asking," How do I do 'such
and such'."  The question was the exact general answer I'd given him.  That
co-worker then replied with some more specific info, and suggested looking
it up on CCO.  Next thing we know, not 5 seconds later, he beeps the third
engineer in the room and asked him some more details.

Anyway, our general feeling about the guy is to ignore him unless there is
absolutely nothing else going on.  It's one thing to be totally stuck and
need a little guidance, but once you're given some guidance, use it until
you hit another wall, not just to ask more intelligent questions.

My boss just keeps telling me, "Just send him all your grunt work."  But
even that isn't much solace to me, ask he usually screws up even grunt work
and it's just easier to do it myself than delegate to him.

Hi

Sorry to hear you did not make it thru the first time around.

I have followed your expeirence from close to the start of your list
partisipation. I have not kept pace with you, but really I don't know too
many people with drive of Chuck Larrieu either!! I have learned much from
your questioning and answers, thanks for the input, both here and on the lab
list.

I sniped most of your report below with the exception of point #5. I have
been trying to form a picture of the lab, trying to make it a part of me
that I visit on a regular basis. When I was in Taekwon-Do I found that the
more time I spent in visualization the better I got. It goes beyond just
"seeing it", but a total emersion in the expeirence. And this is what I have
been trying to do with the lab, so a little more detail will help me fill
out my vision... NDA permiting, what can be asked of the proctor?

TIA

CCIE Lab Report - unsuccesful

2001-04-07 Thread Chuck Larrieu

Hey, everyone, how you all been?

The short story is I did not make it to day 2. The rest of this is a bit
long winded, and easily skipped.

First of all, I was quite pleased to find upon reading through my Day 1
scenario that there was nothing I couldn't do, given time. There are plenty
of practice labs from several different sources which cover all the core
topics, so there were no surprises for me.

Secondly, I was quite pleased when during my review of Day 1 results with
the proctor,  he told me they were going to change the written instruction
on a particular section because of the solution I used. I'm actually quite
surprised it hasn't been done before. I was grudgingly given points,
although I was told my solution was definitely not what they had in mind.

However, in the end,  it was a few simple omissions that cost me the points
I would have needed to squeak into Day 2.

Only one of the six of us who began together was invited to the second day.

Things I learned:

1) having the core topics down cold is CRUCIAL. No kidding!

2) Time is crucial, but not, I believe, in the way I have seen it discussed
in many places. I highly doubt that typing 80 words a minute versus my 20
WPM was the difference. Not when I spent as much time as I did
contemplating. You  can't think it. You have to know it.

By 2:00 p.m. I knew I didn't have a prayer of hitting all the requirements.
At that point I started counting points, putting myself in a defensive mode.
By quitting time, if I got full credit for everything I thought I deserved,
I would have had 31 points. As I found out in my review, I missed a few
simple things, and blew myself out of the water. This leads back to the
internalization of the core topics. You can't be thinking about how to
configure anything. You have to just bang them out, the same way you bang
out shaving or washing your hands or eating your lunch.

3) Methodology is crucial. You have to have a good methodology that is
internalized and is habitual. You can't be thinking "what's next?" I don't
believe it matters what your methodology is, so long as you are consistent
and quick. My own methodology failed me because I was constantly adjusting,
rather than banging it out.

4) I spent a good two hours last night in my hotel room debriefing myself. I
have six pages of notes regarding my day one experience. This will form the
basis of my study plan for my second attempt.  I know that it is highly
unlikely I will have a scenario like the one I just worked on next time
through. But I will focus on methodology and speed.

5) Good rapport with the proctor is helpful. I was able to get the
information I needed by carefully wording my questions and making sure that
my desired result was understood. The proctor is under a bit of stress
himself, with so many folks vying for his attention. He may think you are
asking something you are not. I made sure that if I was not getting an
answer that made sense that I clarified my request, so that the answer was
one that helped me understand.  I will say also that the test I saw was
reasonably clear. The questions I had tended to be the result of outputs
from various show and debug commands, to clarify what the expectation was.

A few other comments:

I was far too aggressive in scheduling my lab date.  Should have pushed it
out 60 days. Don't be in a hurry. Those without a lot of hands on need to
spend several months of several hours a day practicing. No two ways about
it.

There has been a lot of discussion about the patch panels used in the lab.
All I can say is that the panels are clearly labeled. IMHO you have nothing
to worry about. That said, I did have to revisit the rack twice, in order to
make a cabling change. This was purely the result of a chicken or egg
situation, and not due to any difficulty with the rack itself. People with
home labs know well the issue with hooking up routers back to back.

I sat next to a guy this morning ( a day 1 candidate ) who was getting up
every few minutes and going to the back of the rack to move cables around.
Completely unnecessary and driving the proctor nuts. There is no need for
any candidate to touch the back of the rack.

You can't let little stuff stop you. Those with extensive hands on
experience know that sometimes routers do funny things like boot into
rommon> or behave as if there is an extensive paste going on in the
configuration dialogue. I have a router here at home that boots into rommon
once in a while. A reload has always done the trick ( knock on wood )
sometimes leaning on control-C will stop a misbehaving configuration
dialogue. No this is not NDA because I did not go to troubleshooting. I
experienced one of these things as I got into the routers at the very start
of my lab. Stuff happens now and again. Rule number one is "don't panic"

With a six to seven month backlog, I have plenty of time to follow up on the
action plan I developed for myself as part of my debriefing session. That
plan includes ex

How to configure 3Com CoreBuilder 5000 to work with "routing on a stick" with Cisco Fast Ethernet interface?

2001-04-07 Thread Thomas

Hi All - I successfully configured "Routing on a stick" with Cisco 2620
router, using "dot1q" encapsulation.  Is 3Com switch (CoreBuilder 5000)
working with this method? How do I configure multi-vlan on 3Com switch over
one fast ethernet port on the 2620 router?  Thanks All!

Re: Drivers for Smart Modular Techonlogies Flash PCMCIA Cards?

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

Nope, but there are some folks working on Linux drivers for them.  I've got
a stack of more than 100 flash cards that I'd love to be able to use between
laptops if the driver was out there (make copying files >1.44mb easier than
dragging out a ZIP drive).

Re: How long does DNS server cache an entry

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

Depends on how long the SOA says to cache it.  RFCs state that only a
minimum of 2 days has to be supports (so even if someone sets 1 hour, many
DNS admins won't honor it).

C:\>nslookup -q=soa artoo.net
Server:  c3p0.internal.artoo.net
Address:  192.168.45.14

artoo.net
primary name server = r2.artoo.net
responsible mail addr = jroysdon.artoo.net
serial  = 2001022603
refresh = 3600 (1 hour)
retry   = 900 (15 mins)
expire  = 43200 (12 hours)
default TTL = 86400 (1 day)

Hmm, I need to bump that back up to a week.  We changed IPs a bit ago and I
had it decreased to facilitate the cutover.

Becoming Paper CCXX - Senior Citizen Reply]


It all has to do with where you (or the person making the comments) are
coming from.  Someone without certs won't value them at all.  Someone with a
number of certs will usually place a high value on the certs.

Of course, experience is everything.  We've a guy at our office with his
MCSE+DBA who couldn't recall any SQL if you asked him today.  He took and
passed the 3 required SQL tests last year after brain-dumping and taking
them repeatedly (2-3 times per test, I believe).  Every time we get an SQL
problem, I love sending the call to him and then watch him try to wiggle his
way out of it.

It took him 3 tries to pass the CCNAv2, and now he's on to the CCNP.  He
wanted to know why he should do the Remote Access test instead of the
Routing test.  He's worked with ISDN and T1s and perhaps a few frame
connections.  I asked him, "What can you tell me about OSPF, EIGRP or BGP,"
and he said, "EIGRP is a routing protocol like RIP, and I guess the rest are
routing protocols."

Sorry, I'm venting.  I'm just hoping we're not paying him much.  I've run
across a number of people I'd like to hire to replace him.  His idea of
research is beeping everyone in the office on their Nextels until he finds
out what he needs.

It was the funniest night:  3 of us were sitting around last year playing
with Windows 2000.  I got the first beep from him, asking a general
question, and I replied back with a general answer.  He beeped one of the
other guys in the room with me with a question asking," How do I do 'such
and such'."  The question was the exact general answer I'd given him.  That
co-worker then replied with some more specific info, and suggested looking
it up on CCO.  Next thing we know, not 5 seconds later, he beeps the third
engineer in the room and asked him some more details.

Anyway, our general feeling about the guy is to ignore him unless there is
absolutely nothing else going on.  It's one thing to be totally stuck and
need a little guidance, but once you're given some guidance, use it until
you hit another wall, not just to ask more intelligent questions.

My boss just keeps telling me, "Just send him all your grunt work."  But
even that isn't much solace to me, ask he usually screws up even grunt work
and it's just easier to do it myself than delegate to him.

Re: Problem in implementing NAT

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

Is IP space that hard to get in Pakistan?  I'd never sign up with an ISP
using NAT.  ARIN's /19 blocks work out to about US$832/year for a Class C,
but then that's 255 addresses you can be charging, say, US$10/month for
(which you'll sell more accounts then you have modems/addresses for anyway),
which turns into US$30600 even if you didn't oversubscribe those IPs.

I had to search for the Bug ID as *05523 in order to find it as CSCdp05523:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/onebug.pl?bugid=CSCdp05523

Headline  NAT causes HIGH CPU
Product  all  Model
Component nat Duplicate of
Severity  2  Status  A
Version Found12.0(5)  Fixed-in Version
Release Notes

If the address range defined in a Network Address Translation (NAT) pool is
large, CPU utilization may rise to 100 percent. If a large number of
translations are still in the NAT table showing large expiration timeout
values, then the entries were not exited properly.
Workaround: Specifically putting a reduced TCP translation timeout (20 to 30
minutes) has shown improvement. Apparently there are a lot of TCP
translations that were not exited properly and the default timeout of 24
hours would leave these translations hanging. Reducing the translation
timeout clears the entries earlier. Split the address range into smaller
ranges, and define more NAT pools.

You've configured something like 'ip nat translation tcp-timeout 1200'
(which is 20 minutes), and no help?  What about configuring it even lower?

Also, instead of configuring one single pool, spread it into 8 /32 pools as
the BugID suggests.

Re: 3620 router with the NM-2FE2W card

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

Newer bootroms also support tftp from rommon mode as well, so long as the
rom supports the interface you want to use.  Since it won't support the FE,
I wonder if it'll support a serial interface (1536K from a T1 interface is
much faster than 115K from a console if you have to do a large number of
them).

I believe you have to first upgrade to 5.1.x before you can go to 5.3.  Be
sure you back up your config and have a copy of 4.4 around so that you can
downgrade easily.  A lot has changed since 4.4 and 5.x.  For instance, you
can't have two default gateways (or two routes to the same networks on two
interfaces).  This screwed us when we upgraded a while back and had to get
RIP working with the PIX to learn all of the inside routes we have.

OT: Venting about another employee [was Re: Cisco Certs Becoming Paper CCXX - Senior Citizen Reply]

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

It all has to do with where you (or the person making the comments) are
coming from.  Someone without certs won't value them at all.  Someone with a
number of certs will usually place a high value on the certs.

Of course, experience is everything.  We've a guy at our office with his
MCSE+DBA who couldn't recall any SQL if you asked him today.  He took and
passed the 3 required SQL tests last year after brain-dumping and taking
them repeatedly (2-3 times per test, I believe).  Every time we get an SQL
problem, I love sending the call to him and then watch him try to wiggle his
way out of it.

It took him 3 tries to pass the CCNAv2, and now he's on to the CCNP.  He
wanted to know why he should do the Remote Access test instead of the
Routing test.  He's worked with ISDN and T1s and perhaps a few frame
connections.  I asked him, "What can you tell me about OSPF, EIGRP or BGP,"
and he said, "EIGRP is a routing protocol like RIP, and I guess the rest are
routing protocols."

Sorry, I'm venting.  I'm just hoping we're not paying him much.  I've run
across a number of people I'd like to hire to replace him.  His idea of
research is beeping everyone in the office on their Nextels until he finds
out what he needs.

It was the funniest night:  3 of us were sitting around last year playing
with Windows 2000.  I got the first beep from him, asking a general
question, and I replied back with a general answer.  He beeped one of the
other guys in the room with me with a question asking," How do I do 'such
and such'."  The question was the exact general answer I'd given him.  That
co-worker then replied with some more specific info, and suggested looking
it up on CCO.  Next thing we know, not 5 seconds later, he beeps the third
engineer in the room and asked him some more details.

Anyway, our general feeling about the guy is to ignore him unless there is
absolutely nothing else going on.  It's one thing to be totally stuck and
need a little guidance, but once you're given some guidance, use it until
you hit another wall, not just to ask more intelligent questions.

My boss just keeps telling me, "Just send him all your grunt work."  But
even that isn't much solace to me, ask he usually screws up even grunt work
and it's just easier to do it myself than delegate to him.

Regarding your problem, Gary, just get on the phone with that ISPs tech
support and don't let the engineer off the line until they've removed the
filter.  I had to battle an engineer at UUNET to get him to double-check
their filters as my Sprint blocks weren't getting seen through their AS.
When he finally did, he found a few problems, and once corrected I could
seem them at cerf & oregon (which, btw, are great BGP looking-glass
resources):

Re: debug ip error

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

Also, assign an IP to the RSM and set the logging to the console as
disabled.  Then telnet to the RSM IP and turn on terminal monitor.  This way
you hammer your IP session and not the console session, and should be able
to either get in with another telnet session or worst case via the session
command to the console.

But like Cisco's debug disclaimer always says: debug can hammer a cpu and
should be used with caution.

This would be a nasty little command to issue to all of your routers:
#debug all
This may severely impact network performance. Continue? [confirm]
All possible debugging has been turned on

Re: Creating and using aliases

2001-04-07 Thread Gareth Hinton

Hi Bradley,

I think you need to get rid of the speech marks.
Where did you get the idea for the semi-colons? Was it a guess or are you on
the right lines?
I was never aware that you could perform multiple line commands with one
alias, although I would be interested if you can.

Couple of suggestions otherwise:

alias exec p1 ping 192.168.1.1
alias exec p2 ping 192.168.1.2
to cut the commands down a little
or

download the latest version of hyperterminal from www.hilgraeve.com which
allows you to assign macro keys, which can be programmed with multiple
lines. I don't know how long that feature has been there?
It may mean you have to use hyperterminal as opposed to telnet (if you're
not consoled in).

Regards,

Gareth

Re: CSPM and PIX Firewall Ambiguity

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

You're not supposed to directly manually edit device ACLs managed by CSPM,
but rather use the PRE and POST areas to add additional commands.  You can
also comment up your own commands in this section using !comment (but it
won't be stored in the PIX/router, but at this point you need to do it all
from CSPM).  The first thing CSPM does is blow away ACLs, so just use it to
manage it instead of fighting things.

IOS versioning [was Re: SSHv1 on Cisco IOS]

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

I was just complaining about that to my CAM the other day.  That, and I hate
how sometimes an image won't be listed under the most specific model type.
For instance, the IPSEC version for an 827 isn't listed under 827, but 820.
I think the same problem applies to the 1750s being listed under 1700.

Re: Questions for Next-hop attribute

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

So since the entire global routing tables will never fit into any IGP (and
why would you want to?), if you've got two iBGP neighbors with external
links to different ISPs, if you ever want them to use the routes learned via
iBGP, you must turn off synchronization.  Am I mistaken here, or are we
missing something?

Re: Pix Performance Issues

2001-04-07 Thread J Roysdon

The new Windows 2000 VPN Concentrator v3 client is out, but won't be
supported on the PIX until the v6 software is released (and some newer
version of IOS to support it on routers).  Before dropping money to upgrade
the PIX, I'd suggest looking at the Cisco Concentrator line which is geared
specifically to do VPN traffic, which the PIX is not.

Memory limitations on the 2621 preclude it.  I'm got it up to
UUNET+Customers and Sprint+Customers now and 8mb free, so it's pretty
stable, at least long enough until we'll be replacing it with a 2651 or

Re: Cisco 2500 Series RAM

2001-04-07 Thread Brad Ellis

Jeremiah,

The 25xx DRAM is standard 60ns 72pin w/ Parity.  If you dont have smartnet
on the router and it isnt under warrantee, you can pretty much use any
memory you'd like. If you have smartnet or the router is under warrantee, I
would not recommend using non-approved third-party memory.  (Cisco frowns
highly on that)

Creating and using aliases

2001-04-07 Thread Bradley J. Wilson

It occurred to me that a huge time-saver (especially in The Lab) would be to
create an alias in the routers which would ping all the desired destinations
in your network.  That way, rather than sit there and ping x, then ping y,
etc., you could just type in the alias, and away it would go.

So I'm trying to learn how to do this, and it's not going all that well.
I've looked over CCO, and haven't found the detailed help I'm looking for.
Here's what I've got configured on my router:

alias exec pingall "ping 192.168.1.9;ping 192.168.1.17;ping
192.168.1.21;ping 192.168.1.13"

And when I type sho aliases, there it is:

R4#sho aliases
Exec mode aliases:
  h help
  lologout
  p ping
  r resume
  s show
  u undebug
  unundebug
  w where
  pingall   "ping 192.168.1.9;ping 192.168.1.17;ping
192.168.1.21;ping 192.168.1.13"

And yet, when I try to use "pingall" at the exec prompt, it tries to do a
DNS translation rather than execute my alias.  Can anyone offer any insight
into this?

Thanks,

BJ

I don't understand what you are asking. Route reflectors run iBGP.

The purpose of no synchronization is principally to speed convergence 
in non-transit AS.  As others have been said, its importance is 
vastly overstated.

That's the usual behavior, although an alternate next hop can be set 
when needed.  For purposes of the CCIE, I wouldn't worry about that 
case.

Re: Blocking Napster and Aol on Pix config/Setting up Tacus or Radius

2001-04-07 Thread John Hardman

Hi

If you are running Linux or UNIX it is very easy to find TACACS+ as a
freeware. Likely there are a couple of WinIntel freeware versions too,
though I haven't looked for a WinIntel version.

I installed tac_plus for Redhat and am using it in production. It can be
found with just about any search engine, or www.rpmfind.com. It is pretty
easy to setup and configure too.

As for using TACACS+ or RADIUS, TAC has some very good docs, and samples for
config's on the PIX and switches and routers.

Reverse Telnet on a 3640 NOT working!!

2001-04-07 Thread Niraj Palikhey

Hi,
I am trying to setup a 3640 router with 3 async interfaces for reverse 
telnet but it's not working.
On the 3640, I consoled in and created 8 loopback interfaces 1-8 with ip's 
starting at 1.1.1.1..8.8.8.8. I have ip host R1 2001 1.1.1.1 thru ip 
host R8 2008 8.8.8.8 configured.
I also have under line 33 48
#transport input all
#flowcontrol hardware

Presently, I only have 2 other routers connected to the 3640. When I type R1 
on the 3640, I get a connection refused error msg. Same for R2.
I unplugged the octal connector and connected it to the second port on  the 
1st async interface. Same problem
I configured the other lines and plugged the octal connector to those ports. 
Same problem.
Is there something that I am missing or doing wrong.
One thing that I am trying to understand is that Do I have to actually 
Telnet to the 3640 and then do a reverse telnet instead of consoling into it 
and trying to get to the other router's console??
Please advise.

Ok.  I'm even more confused now.  So you guys are saying that IBGP peers will never

I have one more question:  Is it true that routes injected into BGP within an AS carry

Re: Questions for Next-hop attribute

2001-04-07 Thread Hunt Lee

Ok.  I'm even more confused now.  So you guys are saying that IBGP peers will never
progragated its route to other IBGP peers by "no synchronization" - if no IGP is
running, except by Route Reflectors??  So what's "no synchronization" used for?

I have one more question:  Is it true that routes injected into BGP within an AS carry 
a
next hop attribute of the BGP router that first advertised the route? Please explain.

Hunt Lee

MLPPP & T1 aggregation

2001-04-07 Thread pat

Everyone:

   I have 7206 router with PA-MC-2T3+ card in it. This
card support 28 T1 lines. I want to know if I can use
MLPPP (multilink point to point protocol) to aggregate
multiple T1s to same router at remote end. I plan to
use 1750 or 2611 at the remote end. Want to have a
bigger pipe going to remote office say about 3 mb or 6
mb. Is there any other way of doing this other than
MLPPP. 
   If I can use MLPPP, I was also curious about
physical connection. can I use say about 3 T1 lines
going to two different routers ( 2 lines to 2611 and 1
to 1750) as a part of same MLPPP link, or do they have
to be on same router with multiple interfaces?

   If anybody can share this knowledge it will be of
great help. 

Thanks in advance.
pat.

Re: Implement Secure Shell (SSH) on Cisco 3640 router

2001-04-07 Thread kent . hundley

If all of the 12.1 T images behaved similarly, there may be 
something strange with your environment.  How are you doing the 
user authentication? Tacacs, local user database?  Is there 
anything different with the way you are doing authentication for 
telnet and ssh?

Try doing a 'debug ip ssh' on the router while performing an ssh 
connection.  This may show you if there is some problem during 
ssh authentication.  

Beyond this, I'd say you'll have to pursue this issue to conclusion 
with TAC.  If this is a critical issue, escalate with TAC and work 
with them until its resolved.  There may not be a quick fix.

Kent

Router config

I don't understand the following routing configs.  I understand that
redistribute static means it will redistribute static routes into RIP
network, but that's all I could see.  Can anybody please shed some light
on this?

Does any one know if you can connect and configure a 56kbp to a bri

Iknow you can do it through AUX port but can it be done through the BRI

Re: Blocking Napster and Aol on Pix config/Setting up Tacus or Radius

2001-04-07 Thread Bob Timmons

Kevin,

While the port-blocking access-lists will work for most users, many users
and applications will know to use alternate ports to gain connectivity.
AIM, for example, uses port 5190 by default, though you can simply change it
to port 80, if so desired.  Same thing for Napster.  The best, and maybe
only, solution is to block the url or the IP range the servers are in.
We're blocking the IP range for Napster (don't recall what it is off the top
of my head) and it works like a charm.  We currently do not block AIM, but
you can probably simply block login.oscar.aol.com.

As far as RADIUS & TACACS, you'll probably have a hard time finding a
shareware/freeware version of TACACS for NT, though RADIUS seems to be
somewhat more available.  Cisco has their ACS product, which does TACACS &
RADIUS, and runs on NT/2000.  It's real easy to setup (about 30 mins from
setup.exe to TACACS logins).  I'd check the search engines for 'shareware
&/or freeware RADIUS'.  If you really want TACACS, and are on a budget, you
might want to check out some of the freeware Linux versions, there are many.
Of course, you'd need to setup a Linux box.

HTH

Re: ISDN B-Channel admined down

2001-04-07 Thread Marty Hawley

Hi Hans,

The only way to get the B Channels up would be for the interface that is 
being backed up to fail (or to remove the backup interface command from the 
primary interface).  The reason they are admin down is because the interface 
is being used for backup.  If the primary fails, the router will bring the B 
channels up.

Hope this helps,
Marty
