Re: RE: 500-CS...HELP!! [7:2414]......here is my 500-CS config [7:2536]

2001-04-30 Thread Paul Werner

**WARNING - THE VERBOSITY BIT IS SET - THIS MESSAGE IS DISCARD 
ELIGIBLE IF YOUR BUFFERS ARE FULL**

Hi,

I think there may be a degree of misunderstanding about the use 
of the no exec command.  If you have seen this command used 
in an access server that provides dialin access to corporate 
users, or you have configured an access server for a typical 
ISP, that is probably an appropriate place for this command.  
When you place no exec under a given line, it will preclude 
any use of an executive process (user or privileged).  Dont 
take my word on it.  Lets all do a little test on our home 
routers.

First, do not do this test in a production network, period.  
Second, it you are a little weak on the IOS, you may want to 
brush up on your password recovery procedures; you will need it 
later.  Here goes.  I will show you three different ways to 
test this. First, go to the console port of your router  **DO 
NOT TELNET IN**  Next, configure your router as follows:

router#
router(config)#
router(config)#lin vty 0 4
router(config-line)#no exec
router(config-line)#exit
router(config)#int loopback 77
router(config-int)#ip add 1.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
router(config-int)#end
router#

Now attempt to telnet into your own router using any accepted 
telnet command, such as:

router#telnet 1.0.0.1

or,

router#connect 1.0.0.1

or,

router#1.0.0.1

You should get the following output:

2503#telnet 1.0.0.1
Trying 1.0.0.1 ... Open

[Connection to 1.0.0.1 closed by foreign host]

The connection will not open.  Since we did not have any access 
class commands applied, the only other explanation is that a 
vty line is dedicated for one purpose, namely to run an 
executive process.  You can either telnet into the vty to do 
user exec commands, or privileged exec commands.  When the line 
has been restricted so that no exec is in place, then the vty 
line is effectively shut down and no connection is allowed.  
Remove the no exec command under the vty lines and reattempt 
it.  You will note it works.

Lets try it a second way.  This time, we will implement the 
following commands on any cisco router that has both an AUX 
port and a console line.  We will change the AUX port into a 
line configuration and we will issue the no exec command on 
the AUX line.  Before you start, make sure your configuration 
is clear under the AUX line and console lines.  It should 
similar to this:

line con 0
 transport input all
line aux 0
 transport input all

Go ahead and verify you get a command prompt in both AUX and 
console lines. Verify you have interactivity by starting a ping 
to 1.0.0.1 on each (physically plug into both ports).  Then 
execute the following additional commands while plugged into 
the AUX line:

router#conf t
router(config)#lin aux 0
router(config-line)#no exec
router(config-line)#end
router#

Try a ping again.  It will work.  Now save your configuration 
with the following command and execute a reload while still 
plugged into the AUX line:

router#copy run start
router#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]y
07:35:36: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested

The last line is the last entry you will see.  When the router 
reboots, you will not be able to see any output.  You may be 
asking yourself why the command did not take place immediately 
as most commands do.  It did take place immediately however, 
you were still on a connected line.  Once the connection is 
severed (via a reload), then the AUX line will have no exec 
process when the system reboots.  This can be further verified 
once the system boots by attempting to get a router prompt from 
the AUX line.  When you are unsuccessful, plug into the console 
line and go into line configuration mode and restore the exec 
process with the following commands:

router#conf t
router(config)#lin aux 0
router(config-line)#exec
router(config-line)#end
router#

Log back into the AUX line and verify it now works properly. On 
some routers you may have to reboot to get this to take 
effect.  The final check on this is to do the same test with 
the console line.  

WARNING - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE VERY 
FAMILIAR WITH PASSWORD RECOVERY!!!  

Plug into the console line and type the following:

router#conf t
router(config)#lin con 0
router(config-line)#no exec
router(config-line)#end
router#

Run the same test and verify all functionality is still there, 
e.g. execute a ping and get a response.  Everything should work 
just fine.   Save your config and do a reload as before:

router#copy run start
router#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]y
07:35:36: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested

This time you are going to notice something really strange and 
different.  You will note that you can watch the router reload 
and go through its POST and execute its startup-config.  The 
only problem is that you cannot tell the router to do anything 
because you guessed it, you have no exec on the console 
line. You will see output go by one the screen, but you cannot

NAT problem with 827 [7:2541]

2001-04-30 Thread archstein

Hi groups,

Anybody can help me ??? I have a problem 827 ADSL cisco router with NAT.

If I do NAT with atm interface for the users to connect to the internet,
I can do telnet and ping from the outside to the atm interface. But If I
do nat with another ip address ( other static ip range ),i can not
telnet or ping from outside to the atm interface.  you know if we
subscribe to the ISP we will get two kind of public ip address range,
one for interface and another for static ip address which are for web
server, email server, nat, or whatever. So Is it a IOS bugs or,
something wrong about my config. FYI, I permit all for the access list.
thanks

RE: VLAN's and Routers [7:2534]

Hi Sammi,

You can create

10.200.1.x/24 as VLAN 1
10.200.2.x/24 as VLAN 2

this will isolate the broadcast within the VLAN.

You can't create

10.200.1.x/16 as VLAN 1
10.200.2.x/16 or /24 as VLAN 2

because VLAN 2 will become part of VLAN 1, does not serve the purpose of
having VLAN configuration.

Hello everyone!

Just wondering if someone could explain the difference between the different

Ie.  What is the difference between IP Only, IP Plus, IP/Firewall etc etc.

Do you know of a site that compares the capabilities of each?  I have been
looking on the Cisco website with no luck so far

Also, I am looking at buying a 2651 router, and was just wondering if the
IOS that comes with the router is capable of routing IPX as well as IP.  How
expensive is it to buy additional software if it is not supported??

TCP Slow Start is a term used to describe TCP's windowing mechanism and

It describes how TCP starts out with a small window size and slowly
increases it. Then, upon loss of data will immediately reduce this window
only to slowly ramp it up again.

You may need to have a CCO ID to access this page but here is the Cisco
feature Navigator page. This will allow you to pick a feaure/platform and
see what Feature pack it is available in. While this doesn't specifically
address your question i have found it to be pretty helpful. This is
especially helpful when i do configurations for customers and they have a
specific feature that they need. I can then look it up and decide which
service pack to add then go to the memory tool to make sure i have enough
for the feature set.

I would say that there is a fair amount of subject matter overlap, but that
the CSPFA questions are significantly harder.  The MCNS didn't have any type

on the Pix and IOS Firewall were really pretty easy and more conceptual than
anything.  CSPFA tests the details more.

If I run route print on the workstations, it says network destination: 
162.8.232.166, netmask 255.255.255.255, gateway 216.226.97.132. I wonder why

It may be that it is actually a 2501 and the serial link is attached to
a terminal adapter (we used to do this with JTEC TA's in them thar good

which would give the ISDN connectivity. Either way then the answers
below are still valid (ie what Jenny said)

BTW - I wonder when Cisco will finally change its recommended Australian
type to net3/net5 - the ETSI standard. The old switch type is still in
its latest books and manuals - has anyone told the yet?

 No, you can't use a serial interface to connect to a LAN.
 No, you can't add more LAN interfaces to a 2500 series router.  They are
 fixed config, not modular.
 Can you connect to the 'outside world' using a cross-over cable to a serial
 port in the 'outside world' perhaps?  Or is your 2500 in the outside world?

Bill,
Are you sure about this?  I've contacted Cisco TAC support and have
been told it is NOT possible because Cisco ACS itself does NOT

You can access it using a browser anywhere.  This is what I am worried
about.  When you are talking about controlling ACS via the web browser
interface, does it use standard http or https.  If it uses the
standard http, then everything can be captured by a sniffer.

Can anyone confirm this?  Thanks.

 CiscoSecure Version 2.6 was for Windows NT/2000 is actually a very 
improved
 product compared to its preds.  Easy to configure and manage.  You can
 access it using a browser anywhere.   It also allows you to control the

   Hi Everyone,
  
   The company I am working for is considering purchasing Cisco ACS
   software.  This piece of software will be running on Solaris platform.
   Currently, I am using TACACS+ (self-supported software with source 
code)
   on our environment running on both Solaris and linux platforms 
(Primary
   TACACS is on Solaris and backup is on Linux).  We've modified the 
source
   code so that each user has his/her own privilige password so that we
   have a record of who is doing what on the network devices (accounting
   purpose).  Everything is running smoothly and the company is happy 
with
   the result.
  
   In my opinion, learning CLI in Unix/linux is not an easy task to 
master.
   Because of this, I am solely responsible for the TACACS servers.
 Finding
   someone to train for this thing is NOT an easy thing (thanks to
 Microsoft
   mentality of POINT-and-CLICK attitude of new people coming into the IT
   field these days).  I've tried to train several people for this task 
but
   it was unsuccessful.  Because of this, the company is considering of
   migrating the TACACS server from Solaris/Linux over to Microsoft 
Windows
   platforms (YIKES) so that we can find additional support staffs.
   The software package that we consider is Cisco ACS.  I have several
   questions regarding this package:
  
   1) Is this software stable on a Windows platform?  (Sorry I have to 
ask)
   2) How long does it take to train a newbie to be efficient with Cisco
  ACS running on Winblows platform?
   3) Does Cisco ACS support enable privilege for each individual user 
(i.e
  does each user have his/own enable password)?
  
   If anyone has done it before or have a similar experience, I would 
like
   to hear from you.
  
   Many thanks.

Excessive Retransmissions UPDATE [7:2553]

2001-04-30 Thread Sites, Bob

Just wanted to update the list on this matter because I feel that it could
very easily happen to anyone of you and it was very difficult to locate the
problem. Got to blame this one on Big Blue hardware. Yes, the AS400 was the
cause of all our problems here, once again. Apparently several days prior to
this problem, the AS400 was upgraded and a rollover software called Visions
was added. This is similar in function to HSRP. A third party software that
allows rollover from one AS400 to another. Anyway, during the setup for the
rollover testing it was recommended that some static routes in the AS400 be
cleaned up and deleted. Way to go Visions! Our AS400 folks didn't know any
better and just deleted static routes down from about a dozen to 4!!! Our
symptoms were major broadcast storms of retransmissions. Got to keep a close
eye on those big blue boys! Of course, as always, it was a network problem
and the network team solved it!!! Is it at all possible that IBM could come
up with a more worthless IP stack? 

Bob Sites, CCNA

Do you have a TACAC's, Syslog server,  or SNMP database server.  Helps you
find the who, what, where,  when things started.  Sometimes you gotta dig
backwards when the obvious just won't present itself.  My guess is that you
have a link down, a flapping interface, or had bounce on a link that the
protocol wasn't configured to handle.

Please keep us posted with your success or failures
Phil

Perhaps someone could steer me on this problem that I've been fighting for
a day and half now. We are having a severe slowdown on our network and when
looking at the IP traffic from just about anywhere to anywhere, about 1/3
of the packets are being retransmitted? Sniffer error is excessive
retransmissions.  Spent about 3 hours on the phone this morning with the
TAC and didn't really get anywhere. It appears that we are having a
broadcast storm of the retransmissions.  Any insight into what direction
to head would be greatly appreciated.  Would like to isolate the problem by
blades on the switches or routers, but being a hospital this is almost
impossible. We have 2 core 6509's with duplicate sups and msfc's.  Main
router is a 7200.

They are the types of QoS.  Service classes defined by the ATM
standards.  (UNI 4.0)

Unspecified Bit Rate (AAL5, pretty much Best Effort)
Variable Bit Rate (AAL2, for variable bit video, never really took off)
Constant Bit Rate (AAL1, for constant, guaranteed bandwidth)

There is also ABR (available bit rate), (takes left over bandwidth).

For your information, AAL0 is raw ATM cells, and AAL3/4 is combined
together.  In theory, AAL3/4 is absolutely obsoleted by AAL5 since the cell
tax would have been higher.  (CRCs in EACH cell vs each PDU (9180 octets or
so)).

Also, VBR has two forms, Non-real time and real time.  The actual ATM
adaption type I listed above may vary, as ATM is very complicated and the
standards get fuzzed left and right.  I hope anyone with more definitive
knowledge can help you fill in the gaps I may have left.

RE: IS-IS: Default route for L1 router [7:2485]

2001-04-30 Thread Michael Cohen

The way I always understood it was that the default-information originate
command was used as a way to implement a default route in a single IS-IS
area network or to override the ATT default by the level 2 router connected
to another area.  In an IS-IS network a level 2 router with an active level
2 adjacency with another area will send level 1 updates with the ATT bit
set.  All level 1 routers that receive that update will install a default
route to the originator.  This allows for inter area routing. However, if
there are multiple level 2 exit points within the area then a level 1 router
will always install a default to the closest exit point when only using the
ATT bit.  This is not always the most efficient routing since level 1
routers have no idea about anything outside of their area and could send
traffic to the closest exit point instead of the shortest path.  There are 2
ways around this.  First, by using default-information originate you can
override which default gets installed in level 1 routers.  Using this
command overrides defaults implemented with the ATT bit.  Secondly you can
use route leaking which allows you to redistribute level 2 (backbone routes)
into level 1 areas.

HTH,

The adjancencies are formed, here clns routing is
automatically enabled when you enter routing isis, but
actually clns routing is not enabled at any interface,
so it will not try to build clns routing table.

According to Doyle's book, you need to do something to
let L1 knows the default route, for example, have clns
routing command *on* interface level.  Or have L1L2
router generate a default route, but I have neither
one configured here.

Probably it's a new enhancement after 11.2.  I don't
know.

 Also, you *do* have clns routing enabled on all the

 As far as loopbacks go, I would always run

Re: VLAN's and Routers [7:2534]

2001-04-30 Thread Peter Van Oene

Just think of VLANs as normal broadcast domains.  One routes between
broadcast domains.  Your config does not create an overlap between the
VLANs, but rather between the IP subnets.  To properly route between
broadcast domains, you must have unique IP subnets that do not overlap.

So, I'm confused how I can assign scopes to each VLAN, what the exact

RE: help extra ethernet connection for a 2501!! [7:2187]

2001-04-30 Thread Trevor J Corness, CCNA

There is no such thing as a serial to Ethernet adapter.  It's either 2 IP
addresses to e0, no internet access, another router, or setting up a win2k
box with dual NICs and enabling IP Forwarding (routing).  The only
stipulation is that the one particular Win2k box will be plugged into the
production lan ETHERNET segment.

If finding funding for another router such as a 1005 with a serial and
ethernet interface is nigh on impossible, it may be time to reconsider where
you are working.. especially if it is required to support confidence in the
health state of the production network.  A 1005 shouldn't cost more than
$300USD..  how expensive is an hour of downtime on the production network
worth?  4 hours?  8 hours?  It's simple business politics and accounting..
time to learn how to justify testing gear cost.

it is possible, but not advisable in an undetermined lab environment.  A

Given limited resources though, I suppose you could do it.

  ip address 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 secondary (Win2K Lab)

would be sufficient.  This would also allow ip routing between the Win2k
lab, and the production network.  Running 2 LANs off of 1 segment
though,
you are making all of your production network machines look at the MAC
address broadcasts from your lab.  If both are of a substantial size, it
may
create a performance issue on your production network.  It is really a
design issue.

You can not add any interfaces to an existing 2500-series router..
and
like Jenny said, this sounds more like a 2503.  Another possibility,
would
be to find another 2501/2503 router, use a back-to-back serial, and use

 I need some input (comments, criticisms,
 enlightenment, suggestions, etc.)
 rather quickly.  I'm in the DC metro area. Someone
 grabbed my resume off
 Monster and called me two weeks ago -- asked NO
 technical questions -- and
 basically gave me a brief synopsis of his company
 -- confirmed my salary
 requirements -- and said he would circulate my
 resume to others in his
 company and if there was interest, he'd get back
 to me.
 
 Last nite -- Friday 4/27 at about 8:00 p.m., he
 calls again -- asks only if
 I'm available -- and then says I can report to work
 on Tuesday 5/1.  Again,
 no technical questions -- simply confirmed my
 salary requirements -- and
 simply wanted me to FAX a copy of my certs to him. 
 Nothing else.
 
 Then I slowed him down.  Asked about benefits,
 including training, etc. and
 then asked about the job  Turns out he has a
 contract with a
 Freddie-something? Agency and needs a NP/DP as he
 put it (CCNP/CCDP) to
 show
 up on Tuesday for about 3 mos.  Althought he
 assured me that I would be a
 PERMANENT employee and he had other projects to put
 me on after this job
 was
 complete. When I pushed questions about the
 benefits, he offered to have
 his
 benefits person call me Monday -- until I suggested
 that I come to his
 company offices Monday to SEE his site.
 
 Now I have to decide whether this is really a
 suitable position to want to
 put on my resume, and whether it's really legit.  I
 have serious doubts
 about someone who would hire an employee over the
 phone, sight unseen (I
 could be picking my toes, drinking beer, a fat old
 redneck! -- I'm not!).
 If he's willing to hire in such a fashion -- isn't
 he doing a disservice to
 his client -- and won't he be just as likely to
 fire me -- on a whim.  Is
 this a safe job -- am I really going to get paid? 
 What do I say to the
 client if asked??  I''ve got very bad vibes about
 this -- but I don't know
 if my suspicions are justified!!!
 
 All replies will be appreciated!

Written Exam Expiry 
Candidates must attempt the CCIE Lab exam within one year of passing
the CCIE Qualification exam. As long as a candidate attempts the CCIE
Lab at least once every 12 months, the candidate may take up to three
years to pass the Lab Exam. However, if a candidate has not passed the
CCIE Lab exam within three years of passing the written exam, he or she
must retake the CCIE Qualification exam before the candidate will be
allowed to schedule the Lab exam again.

Spanning Tree Protocol [7:2564]

2001-04-30 Thread John Gotti

Hey all...we are having a problem where workstations sporatically will not 
be able to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. After about 4 minutes, 
you can perform a manual renew from WINIPCFG and you get your IP address. 
This has baffled me for quite some time and I have recently been told it is 
our Cisco 2924 Switch to blame. The story I was told is below. I welcome any 
comments for or against this opinion. Thank you for your time.


It appears the problem is connected to the spanning tree algorithm used 
by the CISCO switches. By default, ports on the switch block as they are 
initialised; during this phase the port is in its spanning tree algorithm 
learning and listening state - it is not forwarding. This is specifically 
aimed at ports that will be used to connect to other switches/routers in a 
stack. After a default time (4 mins?) they switch to the standard forwarding 
mode and everything seems normal, the problem is that you have missed all 
the important DHCP broadcast and acknowledgment from client to DHCP server 
during this period.

You can change this default state by changing the PORT-FAST setting on 
each port. The port is then immediately in the FORWARDING mode as it is 
initialised. By default this setting is DISABLED, I have ENABLED all 
ports except the ports doing the linking to other switches

Nope, if you take the lab, you have another year to pass it, up to a total

Switching (bridging across 1 vlan) [7:2579]

2001-04-30 Thread David Cooper

Hi again, 

I'm mulling over a possible issue on a (WINDOWS) lan here that uses a 
Cisco 6509 with a few vlans. One of the vlans is accessable via 2 ports
(GE).
On one side of the vlan, there is the subnet master browser and, on the
other
side of the switch are more clients. These clients that are isolated from
the
master browser are failing to see browse lists. A few things complicate this 
like the MBrowser is a w2k machine while the clients are win9X. While in the 
Supervisor module I notice that they are not forwarding the protocols
netbios
name server and netbios datagram. Other than that everything looks OK.

What I'm wondering here is, on a Cat 6509 or on any other for that matter, 
Does the Packets from the same VLAN traverse the policies on the sup module?
As in netbios requests enters ge1 then hits the access lists on the super
and
gets stopped? I would figure that being in the same vlan and broadcast
domain
that this would not be tampered with. 

Any insight would be appreciated.
Dave

What you were told sounds correct to me.  If you have a port that is only 
connecting to workstations or servers then turn on portfast for that 
port.  That will prevent you from having problems with DHCP.

I think the no exec issue may be a work around for other behaviour on
async lines.

Specifically for using async lines as a terminal server.

I don't know how well the normal octopus cables are insulated but I have
noticed lots of noise on these lines.  The noise on these lines seem to be
able to trigger an exec session which prevents the line from being opened
until it is cleared.

Using no exec seems to prevent this from happening but you are still able
to connect.

Now I'm talking through the router out the line connection, not in the
line out the router connection which it seems you are talking about.

Most times when we're talking about reverse telent we're talking about
connecting a line from the server to the console port of another router.
In this case, the remote router is not initiating a call down the line, it
is accepting a call.

We talk about this so much it seems as it is just about the first thing you
have to do in the CCIE lab. (so I'm told - haven't been there yet but I have
books that say this)

I grant that if you tried to make a call into the line with no exec, you
probably won't get too far.  But in most of the cases we are talking about
going the other way.

The no exec keeps the line down (available) until we really want it.

On our main terminal server at work - a 2611 we have the following line:

line 33 48
 no exec

Now our purpose is to connect to the terminal server to access the lab and
to access the console ports of the other routers in the lab pod.

When I telnet to w.x.y.z 2033 I get connected to the router at the end of
line 33. (which is line 1 on the cable)

When on the terminal server console I telnet to port 2033 on the loopback I
get to the same place.

So, you are correct in what you say - but I think the most often the problem
being addressed is that the line is reported as in use and the user isn't
the one using it.  I have yet to see anyone suggest using no exec on a vty
or console line so that doesn't seem to fit into the discussion.

My slant - others may vary.

[7:2536]


 **WARNING - THE VERBOSITY BIT IS SET - THIS MESSAGE IS DISCARD
 ELIGIBLE IF YOUR BUFFERS ARE FULL**

 Hi,

 I think there may be a degree of misunderstanding about the use
 of the no exec command.  If you have seen this command used
 in an access server that provides dialin access to corporate
 users, or you have configured an access server for a typical
 ISP, that is probably an appropriate place for this command.
 When you place no exec under a given line, it will preclude
 any use of an executive process (user or privileged).  Dont
 take my word on it.  Lets all do a little test on our home
 routers.

 First, do not do this test in a production network, period.
 Second, it you are a little weak on the IOS, you may want to
 brush up on your password recovery procedures; you will need it
 later.  Here goes.  I will show you three different ways to
 test this. First, go to the console port of your router  **DO
 NOT TELNET IN**  Next, configure your router as follows:

 router#
 router(config)#
 router(config)#lin vty 0 4
 router(config-line)#no exec
 router(config-line)#exit
 router(config)#int loopback 77
 router(config-int)#ip add 1.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
 router(config-int)#end
 router#

 Now attempt to telnet into your own router using any accepted
 telnet command, such as:

 router#telnet 1.0.0.1

 or,

 router#connect 1.0.0.1

 or,

 router#1.0.0.1

 You should get the following output:

 2503#telnet 1.0.0.1
 Trying 1.0.0.1 ... Open

 [Connection to 1.0.0.1 closed by foreign host]

 The connection will not open.  Since we did not have any access
 class commands applied, the only other explanation is that a
 vty line is dedicated for one purpose, namely to run an
 executive process.  You can either telnet into the vty to do
 user exec commands, or privileged exec commands.  When the line
 has been restricted so that no exec is in place, then the vty
 line is effectively shut down and no connection is allowed.
 Remove the no exec command under the vty lines and reattempt
 it.  You will note it works.

 Lets try it a second way.  This time, we will implement the
 following commands on any cisco router that has both an AUX
 port and a console line.  We will change the AUX port into a
 line configuration and we will issue the no exec command on
 the AUX line.  Before you start, make sure your configuration
 is clear under the AUX line and console lines.  It should
 similar to this:

 line con 0
  transport input all
 line aux 0
  transport input all

 Go ahead and verify you get a command prompt in both AUX and
 console lines. Verify you have interactivity by starting a ping
 to 1.0.0.1 on each (physically plug into both ports).  Then
 execute the following additional commands while plugged into
 the AUX line:

Subject: Re: SSH version2 for 7120 [7:2570]


Using SSH for Terminal Servers
SSH is only applied to the VTY's of a router. It cannot be applied to the
other LINEs. Terminal Server style access will have to form an SSH session
to the router and then form a session to a line to access a device at the
end of it. This can be simplified to some extent. If I have a 3620 with an
A32, then I can have the following configuration.




  !
  aaa new-model
  aaa authentication login ruth none
  aaa authentication login sarah tacacs+ local
  enable secret 5 *elided*
  ...
  interface Loopback0
  ip address 12.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
  no ip directed-broadcast
  !
  interface ethernet 0/0
   ip address 10.1.1.99 255.255.255.0
   no ip directed-broadcast
  ...
  !
  access-list 4 permit 12.0.0.1
  !
  line con 0
   transport input none
  line 33 41
   access-class 4 in
   no exec
   login authentication ruth
   transport input telnet
  !
  ! having the aaa authentication list of ruth applied will allow
  ! direct access to the lines without prompting for a username/password
  !
  ! having the transport input limited to telnet will prevent other
  ! sessions attempts to the line
  ...
  line vty 0 4
   exec-timeout 0 0
   password cisco
   login authentication sarah
   transport input ssh telnet
  !
  end




Then I can start a session from my Unix device directly to a line as
follows:



  unix% ssh -x -t -c 3des -l chris 10.1.1.99 telnet 12.0.0.1 2033
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: *elided*
  Trying 12.0.0.1, 2033 ... Open

  DevicePrompt



The only thing that I entered was the ssh command and then my password. The
rest was automated through until I got the prompt from the device at the end
of the line. This is more difficult to do from a Windows client as most of
those don't allow the inclusion of the command. In that case, it would be
best if you just formed the SSH session to the router and then performed the
command:



  router telnet 12.0.0.1 2033


If the line doesn't support hardware shutdown (DTR toggle) then you may have
to resort to ~. from your ssh session to terminate the session. Once that
is broken, then the telnet session will be cleanly disconnected and the
line will be freed.






Excluding the Use of Telnet
The types of access to the router can be controlled through the use of the
transport input command. Accecss can be limited to only incoming SSH
sessions by applying only the ssh keyword as follows:



  line vty 0 4
  exec-timeout 0 0
  password cisco
  login authentication sarah
  transport input ssh

Re: Help with frame-relay [7:2204]

Yes, the frame map statement on the DCE side creates the DLCI and the DCE 
will advertise the DLCI via LMI to the DTE.  The DTE will find that IP 
address of the DCE via inverse-arp.  Like I said, the config works fine for

We are studying to attain certs but the primary focus should be to become
networkers. An external CSU/DSU is closer to the real world than a
back-to-back cable. Consider acquiring another external CSU/DSU. Run those
boxes back to back between two routers. Alternately if you have a modular
router buy a WIC with the CSU/DSU built-in. Connect that to your Paradyne
which connects to the serial port of a second router.

Hi Everyone,
   
The company I am working for is considering purchasing Cisco ACS
software.  This piece of software will be running on Solaris
platform.
Currently, I am using TACACS+ (self-supported software with source
 code)
on our environment running on both Solaris and linux platforms
 (Primary
TACACS is on Solaris and backup is on Linux).  We've modified the
 source
code so that each user has his/her own privilige password so that we
have a record of who is doing what on the network devices
(accounting
purpose).  Everything is running smoothly and the company is happy
 with
the result.
   
In my opinion, learning CLI in Unix/linux is not an easy task to
 master.
Because of this, I am solely responsible for the TACACS servers.
  Finding
someone to train for this thing is NOT an easy thing (thanks to
  Microsoft
mentality of POINT-and-CLICK attitude of new people coming into the
IT
field these days).  I've tried to train several people for this task
 but
it was unsuccessful.  Because of this, the company is considering of
migrating the TACACS server from Solaris/Linux over to Microsoft
 Windows
platforms (YIKES) so that we can find additional support staffs.
The software package that we consider is Cisco ACS.  I have several
questions regarding this package:
   
1) Is this software stable on a Windows platform?  (Sorry I have to
 ask)
2) How long does it take to train a newbie to be efficient with
Cisco
   ACS running on Winblows platform?
3) Does Cisco ACS support enable privilege for each individual user
 (i.e
   does each user have his/own enable password)?
   
If anyone has done it before or have a similar experience, I would

He has no 2509 or 2511 as a terminal server.So he suggested that I used 2523
as the terminal server to configure others, cause it has 10 serial ports.
And the quiz is , some had suggested that I need to buy two token ring
MAU,now I have a hub for token ring with lots of ports,Do I have to buy the
MAUs???
And is there anything that I couldn't do with my routers(except catalyst
5000,too dear for me)in order to simulate the CCIE LAB?I heard in China,
they have only 25xx series now, most of the devices are 4000s.
anyone can help? Thanks in advance.
My DRAM is 8M,flash is 8M,can I use IP ENTERPRISE PLUS
I heard it was the fullest functional IOS version, is it???

2001-04-30 Thread Paul Werner

Actually, it is you who are correct.  While my discussion and 
the resulting tests were good for intellectual debate, they did 
little to further answering the problem correctly.  You have 
stated correctly that no exec will work exactly as advertised 
for *reverse* telnet connections only.  Since my CS516 uses a 
combination of forward and reverse connections, it was not 
practical for me to use this methodology.  Oh well, that's what 
you get for making a post late at night when you are tired :-)

The two replies that stated the reverse connection was made to 
the wrong line are likely the root of the original problem. 

v/r,

Paul Werner


 So, you are correct in what you say - but I think the most 
often the
 problem
 being addressed is that the line is reported as in use and 
the user
 isn't
 the one using it

Just a quick one.

Anyone connected a modem via RS232 cable to Serial interface of a 1600 for
dial in.
Mainly interested to see if it is possible.
At the moment is failing, seemingly at the authentication, but no debug for
this other than closing call.
Does 1600 have TTY capability.

Re: VLAN's and Routers [7:2534]

2001-04-30 Thread Karen E Young

Sammi,

You can always create VLANs without a router, you just can't move traffic
between them. If you have a situation where you have two networks that exist
in the same location but need to be kept strictly seperate (such as a
production and a test network) then it isn't necessarily a bad thing to
segregate the traffic. Usually there needs to be some form of communication
between VLANS though, so practically speaking you do need a router.

About the overlapping VLANs... Looks like you might have forgotten to take
into account the difference between classful and classless (VLSM)
addressing. Quick subnetting summary: if it says class x with ## bits of
masking then you add the ## of masking bits to the default subnet mask for
the address class. If it says x.x.x.x/## then the number of bits listed for
subnetting is the entire mask, not just the extra not included in the
default class mask. The first method is classful addressing, the second is
classless.

Remember, routers aren't very bright. They aren't smart enough to know that
network 10.200.x.x/16 is on VLAN 1 if the 3rd octet has a value of 1 and on
VLAN 2 if it has a value of 2. You need to tell it (via the subnet mask) the
entire network address, not just part of it.

Hope this helps,
Karen

Still struggling with VLAN's and a basic question escapes me.
If I create:
 VLAN1 as 10.200.1.x/16 
VLAN2 as  10.200.2.x/16 or /24
I get VLAN's overlap, which I assume is a bad thing (at least at my
skill level, I understand you could use overlapped VLAN's).

So, I'm confused how I can assign scopes to each VLAN, what the exact
rules are. I'm starting to come to the conclusion I cannot use VLAN's
without a router. Is that a correct assumption?

Any help, tips, leads appreciated.

RE: Spanning Tree Protocol [7:2564]

2001-04-30 Thread Leigh Anne Chisholm

A few comments.  First, not being able to obtain a DHCP lease upon initial
boot isn't a problem related to Cisco's Spanning Tree Protocol
implementation.  Cisco implements the IEEE 802.1D STP algorithm that
specifies
when a port becomes active, it must go through the blocking, listening, and
learning phases before it can be switched to forwarding mode.

By default, Spanning Tree Protocol to transition from the blocking phase to
the forwarding phase is 50 seconds.  A port is to remain in the blocking
phase
for 20 seconds.  It then transitions to the listening phase that lasts 15
seconds.  Once the listening phase has been completed, the port transitions
to
the learning phase, which is 15 seconds in length.  It's become commonplace
for many newer PCs and operating systems to send DHCP requests well in
advance
of 50 seconds of system boot - which creates the problem of not being able to
initially obtain a DHCP lease.

If a PC is not configured to bridge frames between LAN segments, the switch
port to which the PC is connected can safely begin forwarding frames
immediately.

 Hey all...we are having a problem where workstations sporatically will not
 be able to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. After about 4
 minutes,
 you can perform a manual renew from WINIPCFG and you get your IP address.
 This has baffled me for quite some time and I have recently been told it is
 our Cisco 2924 Switch to blame. The story I was told is below. I
 welcome any
 comments for or against this opinion. Thank you for your time.


 It appears the problem is connected to the spanning tree algorithm used
 by the CISCO switches. By default, ports on the switch block as they are
 initialised; during this phase the port is in its spanning tree algorithm
 learning and listening state - it is not forwarding. This is specifically
 aimed at ports that will be used to connect to other switches/routers in a
 stack. After a default time (4 mins?) they switch to the standard
 forwarding
 mode and everything seems normal, the problem is that you have missed all
 the important DHCP broadcast and acknowledgment from client to DHCP server
 during this period.

 You can change this default state by changing the PORT-FAST setting on
 each port. The port is then immediately in the FORWARDING mode as it is
 initialised. By default this setting is DISABLED, I have ENABLED all
 ports except the ports doing the linking to other switches

Have you looked at VLAN-aware NICs on the server?  They would let you

There may be more basic questions.  Approximately how many hosts are

DLSW+ Problem [7:2599]

2001-04-30 Thread Fawad Alam

Hi
I am having some performance problem  with DLSW+. The peers are 2621 with 
IOS Version 12.0(3)T3 and at the other end I have Cisco 2612 with version 
11.3(9)T.
Our testing setup with obviously less load worked fine but when we moved to 
production the sessions started dropping. I have checked circuit load and it 
looks fine. Probably some DLSW+ parametes with some timing features or 
problem with IOS is causing this problem. Or may be its related to 2600 
routers.
Is there anyone who experienced same kinda issues in past. Any comments.

Thanks...

If that fails, use gate2.

And, another question if that is possible..

When gate1 is reachable again, will the users on gate2 be disconnected or

Re: OFF TOPIC -Job Offer without Interview?? [7:2369]

The reseller may be desperate for certified people which means they WILL
take any warm
body. But another aspect of this situation is that you need to take charge
of your part
of the interview - remember it's a two-party transaction. My advice  - Never
take a job
or promise to take a job without seeing the working environment and meeting
your boss
and coworkers. In fact if the employer doesn't want to go through the whole
normal
process you should politely insist on it - ask all the questions, etc. I
speak from
experience. I had a very lucrative and firm contract offer and start date
over the phone
about 3 years ago and I demanded a face-to-face plus a tour of the working
environment.
The interview was very disappointing and I turned down the offer.

 least -- intellectually dishonest?? And if that's true -- how would he
treat
 his employees?? Would he promise the moon (e.g. oh yeah, paychecks every
two
 weeks) and then not come through??
 
 Who is our loyalty to go towars?? The client -- who we know is being given
 less than bargained for -- or the guy who's paying for our salary?? I
 already know the practical answer -- but somewhere in those Cisco books we
 all study -- I'm sure it also says that we are to have honesty and
integrity
 in our dealings with clients. Doesn't it?? Oh well. . . .

CISCO works 2000 [7:2610]

2001-04-30 Thread Yan Xu

I am planning to take CISCO works 2000 (both Fundamental and LAN/WAN) in
Chicago. I find there are two training center offering theses classes in
June. One is Global Knowledge the other is Skyline. I called both
training center to ask for information about the instructor, they all
tell me they don't have the instructor list.How can I find out which one
is better? I hate to wast time listen to some boring lectures. I have
some good classes from Global Knowledge. But I also have very bad
experience for two classes I took from this training center.Thanks in

 Hey all...we are having a problem where workstations sporatically will not
 be able to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. After about 4
minutes,
 you can perform a manual renew from WINIPCFG and you get your IP address.
 This has baffled me for quite some time and I have recently been told it
is
 our Cisco 2924 Switch to blame. The story I was told is below. I welcome
any
 comments for or against this opinion. Thank you for your time.


 It appears the problem is connected to the spanning tree algorithm used
 by the CISCO switches. By default, ports on the switch block as they are
 initialised; during this phase the port is in its spanning tree algorithm
 learning and listening state - it is not forwarding. This is
specifically
 aimed at ports that will be used to connect to other switches/routers in a
 stack. After a default time (4 mins?) they switch to the standard
forwarding
 mode and everything seems normal, the problem is that you have missed all
 the important DHCP broadcast and acknowledgment from client to DHCP server
 during this period.

 You can change this default state by changing the PORT-FAST setting on
 each port. The port is then immediately in the FORWARDING mode as it is
 initialised. By default this setting is DISABLED, I have ENABLED all
 ports except the ports doing the linking to other switches

RE: Differences between TACACS+ and Cisco ACS [7:2245]

2001-04-30 Thread Bill Pearch

Did some looking into the documentation on ACS for NT/2K and it looks like
Cisco is using a non MS web server, rather than building on IIS 4 or 5.  So
you can do what you can do with it.  If Cisco doesn't include HTTPS you
don't get HTTPS.  I know IIS, not ACS - sorry.  I hope to remedy that in the
near future.
If you are using Win2K as your ACS server it is possible to make use of
IPSec to other W2K boxes based on local IPSec policy or domain level IPSec
policy.  This would give you the secure communication you are looking for,
even if the application does not support HTTPS.  YMMV, VWPBL, OSTCAAT.

OT:There is always a New Kid on the Block (CIsco) [7:2613]

2001-04-30 Thread ccnawan

Hi all,
A few days ago there was a thread about the value of cisco certs, and how
they were a lot of people pursuing them now.
My first recollection of IT, was when Big Blue was King, my oldest brother
would bring some of the IBM computer punch cards home from his job. Nobody
could touch IBM then. That was still true when I started out in IT in 1981.
A couple years later the new kid on the block was Novell Netware, and
everybody including me wanted to be a CNE. I pursued my Netware certs. Then,
we started hearing rumblings about Microsoft NT. You had to be a MCSE, if
you did you could name your price, and that was true. As it was when Netware
2.1 first came out nobody knew about NT, so I followed the new kid and got a
job in a NT shop. Well, now it is Cisco, no disrespect, I am a (Cisco
reseller) and a few years as technology changes, it will be someone else
maybe Juniper.

After 20 years in IT nothing has changed, you must be prepared to learn new
technology, keep your ear to the ground for the new kid on the block, he is
coming soon, to a neighborhood near you.. I love computers.

CCIE written passed! [7:2615]

2001-04-30 Thread scott mann

Feels Good!

I just passed the CCIE written. It was not actually all that hard if you 
have all of your CCNP stuff still in your head. Just studied for a couple of 
weeks after taking 3 months off from CCNP. I would suggest that all 
candidates buy the new Caslow book and buy the Boson tests. Use the Bosons 
not only for the memorization of questions, but also for the 
explanations/references given for each answer. I spent about 4 hours per day 
studying for these two weeks using just these two guides.

Thanks to those who helped me by answering my questions...They directly 
helped if you know what I mean...

On to the LAB...should take about 3-4 months to study intermixed with my 
actual job.

There are CSU/DSU's that will also act as a sniffer for frame-relay ckts.
They usually are ungodly expensive unless your carrier provides it for you.
Visual Networks comes to mind as as a manufacturer of these little toys.

Not the best one out there but works very well.

RJ45 does not equal Ethernet.  Are you thinking of placing an ethernet
hub  there?  If so, you have completely incompatible physical layers to
begin with.  A T-1 signal from a csu/dsu or an NIU is going to wreak all
sorts of havoc on an ethernet hub, most likely.

You also have completely different datalink layers, so you can't expect
an ethernet sniffer to have the slightest idea what is going on inside a
frame relay frame on a DS1.  This not unlike asking Can I connect a
regular phone to an ethernet hub and listen in on a VoIP call? 
Completely incompatible technologies.  You'd have to find a hardware

FW: WAN Congestion - Cloud technology - Theory vs Reality [7:2625]

2001-04-30 Thread Chuck Larrieu

The list server appears to have butchered the beginning of this one - let's
try again and see if it makes more sense when the whole message is included.


Reading: congestion on WAN clouds can be amplified if packets / cells are
dropped/refused entry because of congestion on the cloud. This in turn leads
to the retransmission of dropped packets/cells, which in turn leads to more
congestion, in a never ending spiral ( in theory, at least )

Reality: This gets into sizing of WAN links / CIR's / CBR's

I am a bit curious. Anyone here have any real world experience with this
kind of thing happening? I can see how this can happen in theory. In
reality, carrier cloud congestion is not such that it would likely lead to
this kind of result, is it?

So if the above premise is something that can and does happen regularly,

 Hi all,
 A few days ago there was a thread about the value of cisco certs, and how
 they were a lot of people pursuing them now.
 My first recollection of IT, was when Big Blue was King, my oldest brother
 would bring some of the IBM computer punch cards home from his job. Nobody
 could touch IBM then. That was still true when I started out in IT in
1981.
 A couple years later the new kid on the block was Novell Netware, and
 everybody including me wanted to be a CNE. I pursued my Netware certs.
Then,
 we started hearing rumblings about Microsoft NT. You had to be a MCSE, if
 you did you could name your price, and that was true. As it was when
Netware
 2.1 first came out nobody knew about NT, so I followed the new kid and got
a
 job in a NT shop. Well, now it is Cisco, no disrespect, I am a (Cisco
 reseller) and a few years as technology changes, it will be someone else
 maybe Juniper.

 After 20 years in IT nothing has changed, you must be prepared to learn
new
 technology, keep your ear to the ground for the new kid on the block, he
is
 coming soon, to a neighborhood near you.. I love computers.

Re: Tacacs [7:2602]

2001-04-30 Thread Henry D.

I'm not an expert in TACACS but I know you can have more than 1 server
specified in the routers. I mainly used it just for authentication, in which
case there was no problem whatsoever with this setup. If first specified
server is not reachable, the other is being used.
I don't think there would be an issue if I used authorization/accounting
features either. There would simply be no need to try to fall back to the
main server in case it came up while using the backup server on the current
session.

BTW, what do you mean by terminating L2F tunnels ?
Do you just authenticate, or you also use the authorization/accounting
features on the tunnel ?
If so, could you elaborate a bit more on this topic ?


Kevin Wigle  wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Dear Group,

 A Tacacs question.

 Is it possible to configure Tacacs+ to use 2 different home gateways?

 Specifically, gate1 to be used to terminate L2F tunnels.

 If that fails, use gate2.

 And, another question if that is possible..

 When gate1 is reachable again, will the users on gate2 be disconnected or
 stay
 there until they disconnect while new connections go to gate1 again?

 dropped/refused entry because of congestion on the cloud. This in turn

 to the retransmission of dropped packets/cells, which in turn leads to
more
 congestion, in a never ending spiral ( in theory, at least )

 Reality: This gets into sizing of WAN links / CIR's / CBR's

 I am a bit curious. Anyone here have any real world experience with this
 kind of thing happening? I can see how this can happen in theory. In
 reality, carrier cloud congestion is not such that it would likely lead to
 this kind of result, is it?

Real life experience shows that frame relay circuits with 70% or more port
utilization create an environment for retransmission.  However, based on
packet capture and analysis, I see the retransmissions as much as I see
connection timeouts because the latency of the circuit increases when the
load maxes out, so it's not the never-ending spiral as one might expect.
I haven't seen any production ATM networks drop cells.

In reality, regarding carrier cloud congestion, domestically the carriers
claim they overbuild the capability of their service backbone precisely to
prevent such congestion problems and I'd tend to believe them because of my
experiences with outages that never affected my circuits.  Trans-oceanically
(is that a word?), there are some serious contention problems especially
from South America and Asia/Pac to the US.


 So if the above premise is something that can and does happen regularly,
 what does the carrier do - just massive dropping of packets / cells until
 the problem disappears, probably after hours that day?

If it is because of a failure on the part of their network, they try to
repair and re-route traffic to eliminate the data drops.  SLA's usually cost
the carrier money at a certain point in the failure window, and a reputation
for bad reliability is a difficult issue to overcome in this marketplace.

If it is because the customer has overutilized links, they try to sell the
customer more bandwidth.

 Any experience?

Have you looked at VLAN-aware NICs on the server?  They would let you

I haven't, but I will do so.

There may be more basic questions.  Approximately how many hosts are 
in each department?  What protocols do they run?  Is there a specific 
reason you think you may have a problem with broadcasts?  Are the 
hosts plugged into switches that can do per-port  broadcast rate

From my limited knowledge I've observed that there is no network
management. All switches are run out of the box. It seems we would
get more efficiency by isolating departments. There are 6 - 12 hosts
in a typical department, most located in a one floor building with
four wings, others located in various quonset huts connected to main

Currently running Banyan IP, am migrating the environment to 2000 and
rebuilding the infrastructure in the process.
I am replacing the 2800 and 1900 switches with Catalyst 2900xl, I
haven't seen mention of throttling capability.

My goal is to simplify management, or centralize may be more accurate,
and make the network as efficient as possible.

Our testing setup with obviously less load worked fine but when we moved to

 Thanks to those who helped me by answering my questions...They directly
 helped if you know what I mean...

 On to the LAB...should take about 3-4 months to study intermixed with my
 actual job.

 Not sure of the details but there certainly were several Frame Relay
network
 meltdowns. The ATT Stratacom switch IOS upgrade (oops!@) and the Ascend
 (for MCI?). There were extenuating reasons for the initial failures but
the
 cloud didn't converge. Anyone have a postmortem on these events?

  dropped/refused entry because of congestion on the cloud.
  This in turn leads
  to the retransmission of dropped packets/cells, which in turn
  leads to more
  congestion, in a never ending spiral ( in theory, at least )
 
  Reality: This gets into sizing of WAN links / CIR's / CBR's
 
  I am a bit curious. Anyone here have any real world
  experience with this
  kind of thing happening? I can see how this can happen in theory. In
  reality, carrier cloud congestion is not such that it would
  likely lead to
  this kind of result, is it?
 
  So if the above premise is something that can and does happen
  regularly,
  what does the carrier do - just massive dropping of packets /
  cells until
  the problem disappears, probably after hours that day?
 
  Any experience?

  One IOS to forward them all.
  One IOS to find them.
  One IOS to summarize them all
  And in the routing table bind them.

Chuck,
Couple of different approaches to the below: 
 - on F/R links, you can set low priority packets to be discard eligible,
though I'm not sure that very many frame relay SPs support this
 - features such as Random Early Discard/Detect are often employed on links
subject to congestion to avoid the phenomina you describe below
 - Queuing approaches such as WRED and WFQ can also make sure that priority
traffic gets through in times of congestion.

Re: OT:There is always a New Kid on the Block (CIsco) [7:2613]

2001-04-30 Thread No Data

I see the next 'killer app' being VoIP (and just
deploying one set of wires) and also Multicast audio
and blackboard applications.  Cisco looks well
positioned to help with both of those.

 (CIsco) [7:2613]
 
 
  Hi all,
  A few days ago there was a thread about the value
 of cisco certs, and how
  they were a lot of people pursuing them now.
  My first recollection of IT, was when Big Blue was
 King, my oldest brother
  would bring some of the IBM computer punch cards
 home from his job. Nobody
  could touch IBM then. That was still true when I
 started out in IT in
 1981.
  A couple years later the new kid on the block was
 Novell Netware, and
  everybody including me wanted to be a CNE. I
 pursued my Netware certs.
 Then,
  we started hearing rumblings about Microsoft NT.
 You had to be a MCSE, if
  you did you could name your price, and that was
 true. As it was when
 Netware
  2.1 first came out nobody knew about NT, so I
 followed the new kid and got
 a
  job in a NT shop. Well, now it is Cisco, no
 disrespect, I am a (Cisco
  reseller) and a few years as technology changes,
 it will be someone else
  maybe Juniper.
 
  After 20 years in IT nothing has changed, you must
 be prepared to learn
 new
  technology, keep your ear to the ground for the
 new kid on the block, he
 is
  coming soon, to a neighborhood near you.. I love
 computers.
