Ravi,

Please check the T1 controller first and make sure the line is up.
You can find useful guide for T1 troubleshooting in
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/116/index.html.It has a very good flowchart
for T1 troubleshooting.
There some config you should notice:clocking,line-code,framing and also use
cross cable.
Hope this will be helpful!

RE: NAT / citrix connectivity [7:7709]

2001-06-12 Thread Jay Dunn

This may be more than the solution calls for, but have you considered using
the web client? You haven't mentioned how much flexibility the clients have
or require in configuring their own connections, but if this is not an issue
using the web will allow you complete control of all server connection
parameters. The client just needs to know a URL. Worst case scenario you
have to do a little (very little) html programming, but if you get NFuse
even that's eliminated.

Shrug,

You indicated that even if we use NAT, client-side changes will still have
to be made.  I found one document on the citrix site that speaks of "ICA
Browsing with firewall address translation - NAT".  This document provides a
straight-forward solution but requires making a change on both the client
and server side. Is there any other documentation that states the need to
configure the client as well.

My dilemma is that I've been asked to provide a solution that will allow the
citrix client to create a session to the citrix server in the new subnet -
and doing so without touching the client-side.  Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

I'm assuming that notifying the users and having them change the IP is not
a feasable option?


Even if you DID use NAT to translate the old IP to the new IP, client-side
changes will have to be made.  (and i think the server will bave to be set
up appropriately too..I'm only familar with the client side.)

The client end will have to, going from a bad memory, change their
firewall settings to allow them to connect to the server-behind-nat.
There is an option along the lines of "use alternate IP address" or
something...its been about 4 months since I did this and havent been in
front of a citrix client in at least 2...its a well documented bit.

The /better/ solution of course would be to assign a FQDN to the IP
addresses and have the clients change to THAT, so that it is only done
once...and then you can change the IP at will.

If I read this right, it appears that you are doing the translation at the
/client/ end, not the server end...that is totally wierd, to me.

But, in that case, should that not be

ip nat OUTSIDE source static

since that is the direction we need to go?

but I'm still rather confused why you are doing the NAT at the client side
instead of the server side..

Help on VLAN configuration [7:8127]

2001-06-12 Thread Amit Gupta

Hi All,

The scenario is such that I have 2 subnets configured
on the LAN. They are x.x.1.0 / 24 and x.x.2.0 / 24.
The IP address for the Routers ethernet port are
x.x.1.1 and x.x.2.1. Similarly workstations in either
subnet point to these addresses ( x.x.1.1 and x.x.2.1
) as their default gateways.
I am having Cat 5509 and Cat 6609 ( With MSFC) with
all the ports in the default VLAN1

I have the following queries on this :
Config on MSFC

Can the IP addresses of the vlan interfaces be any one
of the free IP address available on the LAN.
For eg x.x.1.3 

What will be the default gateway address configured on
MSFC in this case ? ( Will it point towards the
address  of the Ethernet interface of the External
router )

On the Switches

Can both switches be configured in the VTP Server mode
?
Do the trunk ports have to have an IP address ?

DHCP Server

How would I have to define the scopes on the DHCP
server.
Suppose I plan to have 1 Vlan configured for 1 subnet
and 4 VLANs in the second subnet. How to go about it.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help/ suggestions

cisco secure scanner ping sweep error [7:8126]

2001-06-12 Thread Jacques Allison

Hi All,
Using 2500 host licensed CiscoSecure Scanner 2.0.1.2 on a MS-Windows 2000
SP2 on a new Dell laptop. Running a scan for +- 1500 host on the local
network with most of the settings to default, when starting the scan the
ping phase starts immediately at +- 53 and after a few seconds jumps to +-
65 ext. This looks fine BUT, after another few seconds, the ping sweep just
runs through up to the last host. The ping phase doesn't even last a minute,
and doesn't discover all the host on the network. When using one class C
network at a time, it finds more hosts on the network but the ping sweep
does the same. I have look on CCO for some answers but with no luck. (I'm
not using a ISDN connection)
Any Ideas please CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks in advance.

If you are using IOS 5.23 or higher on the Pix, you can't use conduits
anymore. Access-Lists are the only supported way to permit inbound traffic.
(Really sucks when you upgrade a Pix running 5.12, with several hundred
conduits!!)

The Conduit Permit ICMP any any command still works, but that's it. To
further confuse things, the firewall lets you add the conduit statement, but
ignores it.

>>> "Allen May"  06/11/01 03:50PM >>>
If ICMP is disabled you won't be able to ping it.  Conduit statements must
open the correct protocol & ports to connect as well.  The router could
possibly be blocking ICMP or ports also.  Can the inside machine ping the
inside interface of the PIX?

RE: Route Updates and Fast Switching Cache [7:8110]

2001-06-12 Thread Lupi, Guy

John, my understanding is that the router will continue to use the
previously cached route until such time as the cache for that route is aged
as invalid.  1/20th of the cache is aged randomly every one minute, unless
there is less than 200K of available memory, in which case 1/5th of the
cache is aged every minute. After it has aged the router will then process
switch a packet to that destination since it has no cache entry, see that
there are now 2 routes to the destination and re-build the cache with both
paths, performing per-destination balancing as that is the only available
balancing method with fast switching.  I have found that in a lab
environment the aging will happen very quickly because you have very few
entries, and you will probably find that it is a minute or less before both
routes are being used.  You can see this if you want by configuring 2
routers with 2 different equal cost paths to each other, but only having one
in the routing table, ie shut down one interface.  Turn on ICMP debugging
and ping the other router, then bring the other interface up and do another
ping.  You will probably find that the router will send all 5 pings out one
interface, and then the next 5 pings will be sent out the other interface.
You can also look at this link
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/20.html#3 to find some really
interesting info on the different switching methods.  Hope this helps.

Subject: Route Updates and Fast Switching Cache [7:8110]


After reading a practice test question and answer I'm confused about the
operation of fast switching, specifically when a route has already been
cached when a new equal-cost route is learned via a different interface. 
For example:

Route A learns of 192.168.1.0/24 via e0 with a metric of 1000.  Fast
switching is enabled so this route is cached.  Then the router learns of
192.168.1.0/24 with a metric of 1000 via e1.  My thinking is that the cache
would be invalidated and recreated with two entries but the test engine
answer stated that routing would not change because the route was cached and
the cache would not be invalidated.

Any thoughts?  I'd test this myself but at the moment I only have two
routers at home.  Do any of you have any experience with this?

Thanks,
John

RE: 640-504 Test strategy [7:8134]

2001-06-12 Thread Barronton, Ken

Hello,
Does it really matter? All the CCNP level tests have 60 something questions,
and the passing score is in the high 600's or low 700's, and the time is
around 90 minutes.

Don't let that be a hang-up! Study hard until you know the material, then
take the test. At that point the number of questions, passing score, and
time doesn't matter.

When you're sitting in front of the computer about to take the test and the
numbers for the test are revealed does it bother you? If it does you're
probably not ready for the test.

My strategy is when I see the numbers for the test, I write them down on the
scratch pad. I then divide the total time for the test in 4 times and
calculate what question number I must be on at that time to be on schedule
to finish on time.

Example: 64 ques, 90 min
At about 22 min in to the test I should be on at least ques # 16
At about 44 min in to the test I should be on at least ques # 32
At about 66 min in to the test I should be on at least ques # 48
At about 88 min in to the test I should be on at least ques # 64 - DONE!

we want to implement load balancing and fault tolerance functions, so that 
we have to build Windows 2000 Advanced Server machines, because you can not 
upgrade Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2000 Advanced Server.However some web 
sites are very difficult to set them up, and we did a long time ago

No, unfortunatelly not. If you are in Europe, maybe you can run a leased
line over 64 or 128k but this would involve your telco also and a mad
configuration on the E1 controller. Other thing that you might do is to see
if there are any migration promotions by Cisco where you could get a bri
module, which is, I think , cheaper. Also, you might just by an 800 for $800
and run hsrp between that router and your 3640 (with 12.1xg version on the
800) and enjoy it.

RE: ISDN subaddresses [7:8109]

2001-06-12 Thread dragi radovanovic

I am not sure, but I think this :4356 portion of the number is only there if
your router is behind a PABX, which then assigns the subaddresses to
different ports.A telco doesn't even see that number.

If I understand the question, the answer is correct.  Where you are 
getting confused is the difference in load balancing between process 
switching and fast switching.  Essentially, your thinking is correct 
if the interface were in process switching mode, which does 
per-packet load balancing. I'll make the minor nit that process 
switching has no cache, but looks things up directly in the RIB 
(i.e., main routing table).  Formally, per-packet is deterministic 
rather than statistical load balancing.

Fast switching uses per-destination load balancing. It will only have 
one cached entry to any destination; the load balancing comes as a 
result of having many cached entries to many destinations. 
Per-destination load balancing is statistical, not deterministic, and 
indeed can get unbalanced with a small number of destination.  CEF 
uses source-destination pair load balancing, which is still 
statistical but increases the number of choices and reduces the 
probability that the load will be unbalanced onto one interface in a 
group.

Re: Which is the Best Book on the CID test [7:8117]

2001-06-12 Thread Bryan In Richmond

I don't think that anyone dislikes the Cisco CID book. I think that some
folks wish it was a bit more focused on the exam itself. Try the Sybex ( I
haven't read it but it comes highly recommended here) if you want a book
focused on the test. Personally I read the Cisco book and with my prior
knowledge/reading it was more than enough to pass the CID exam. I did read
the Sybex exam notes and found it vague at best.

Good Luck!

IPSEC (ESP) over NAT ? [7:8150]

2001-06-12 Thread Uniplace - Alexander Krastelev

Hello,

Does anyone know if Cisco IOS (any version) supports IPSEC passthrough over
NAT ?

I need to make the following configuration running:

[Server]---[VPN gateway]--internet-[Cisco1600,NAT][Client]

- Client (a PC with IPSEC VPN client) should have access to Server over
IPSEC VPN
- Cisco 1600 makes NAT with overload
- IPSEC protocol is IPSEC ESP (not AH)

I have two options: 
-to do something with Cisco to let it pass IPSEC traffic;
-to switch VPN in UDP-encapsulated mode (IPSEC-over-UDP), which works over
the most dumb NAT (we have to pay for upgrade, however).

So my question is, does Cisco suppport IPSEC passthrough ?

Alexander

With the exception of CEF, all Cisco switching modes are demand-based.
Only after a packet is successfully forwarded to a destination (via
process-switching), will IOS add a route cache entry for _that destination_.
So it's not as if the existing of a route/prefix causes a cache entry to
be created; rather it's traffic generated.

In your example above, all traffic to 192.168.1.22 would go via e0, as
long as that remains valid.  Traffic for a second host in 192.168.1.0/24
will go via e1.  And so on.

CEF does add entries to the FIB and AdjTable that directly correspond to
routing table and ARP cache entries.  It's not demand-based.

> Any thoughts?  I'd test this myself but at the moment I only have two
> routers at home.  Do any of you have any experience with this?

Actually you can test this with just two routers if you can create
two equal-cost paths with them.  But you must create the traffic with
a third device -- a host connected to a LAN interface.  Switching modes
only apply to packets that are in fact switched; i.e., forwarded.
Traffic that originates within the router or terminates in the router
is not fast-switched, nor process-switched -- it's not switched at all!
If a ping is sourced from the router with two equal paths, the pings
will alternate paths on a per-packet basis.

6509 Configuration [7:8154]

2001-06-12 Thread Michael Oaks

Hi All,

I am trying to configure a 6509 switch with multiple VLANS.  I have the
configuration guide printed out and believe that I have most of the
configuration correct but I can't get it to communicate with anything.
My question first is;  do I have to configure anything in the router
portion of the unit.  When ever I try to enter commands in the router
portion, they do not show up in the router configuration.  I have been
trying to configure it similar to my 5505 switch, but this does not seem
to be working.  What do I need to do to configure the router section.

Also, is there anything that needs to be done to link the router to the
switch or are they automatically linked.  I need to have this configured
and tested by this friday, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: OT nitpicking: To: vs. cc: (was Re: Rule 5-4-3 [7:7578]) [7:8155]

2001-06-12 Thread Paul Borghese

Ok, this is how it works.  A message arrives to the server.

1. The message is sent immediately to a procmail script that checks to see
if the to: or cc: address contain [EMAIL PROTECTED]  This blocks any
messages that may have been bcc:'ed to the list.  By doing this, we prevent
about 10 spam messages a day from being sending on the list.

2. Next the message is run through a script that checks the senders address.
What we are checking here is if this particular sender sent over 15
messages/day to the list.  The assumption is over 15 messages/day, there
might be a mail-loop and we should kill the messages.  The script then
checks the total number of messages on the list.  I believe I have this list
set to 250 messages a day.  Over 250 messages/day will cause the "circuit
breakers" to fire preventing any additional messages on the list.  Again
this is to  prevent mail-loops or mail-bombs from filling our e-mail
accounts.  It has fired a few times.  Last time, some server in Texas was
sending messages back to the list that were over 6 months old.  So once the
list hit 250, the list will shutdown.

3. Next the message is sent through a program that converts any HTML e-mail
to plain-text.  You should always be sending plain-text through the list,
but sometimes people forget.  An HTML message usually takes twice the
bandwidth as a plain-text message.  Since the server currently uses 6-8
GB/day we want to limit messages to plain-text only.  If you send a link
using HTML, the link may become corrupt as it passes through the filter.  By
sending plain-text, you can be assured you message will go through
unchanged.

4. Next the message is sent to a program that posts the message on the
web-board.  I would encourage people to read the web-board instead of
subscribing to the mailing list, as it uses less bandwidth since you are not
receiving every message.  Before it gets posted on the web-board, a series
of checks are made.  First, any message larger then 40k characters is
rejected.  This is usually not a problem as the message has already been
converted to plain-text.  Then a series of keywords are checked (see George
Carlin).  Besides profanity, known advertisers are also checked.  So for
example, if you have a great new product, it may seem spamming the list with
advertisements is a great form of free advertising.  But this will place
your product on the profanity list, preventing even legitimate discussion of
the product.  So in the long run, it hurts sales and discourages spamming of
the list.

5. If the message makes it through the web posting, it is re-written as an
e-mail and sent to the mailing list (customized version of majordomo).   It
use to take 7 hours for the message to be fully delivered.  Now the
mailing-list is sorted by domain and broken into groupings of 50 domains
each.  Each grouping  runs in parallel delivering the message in about an
hour.  So depending upon where you fall in the list, delivery might be
faster or slower, but you should receive the message in about an hour.

6. At the same time a copy of the messages is converted to news format for
posting on the newsfeed.  The message usually is posted on the newsfeed at
about the time the first e-mail is being sent.  So reading the newsfeed is a
more timely option then reading the list.

7.  While the message is being sent through the mailing list, and newsfeed,
a copy is saved in the archives queue.  Once a week, a program runs that
posts the messages to the archives.

Most of the software is customized/home grown for this website, written in
Perl, PHP, a little C with the database backend being MySQL.  Remember I am
not a programmer and this was all self-taught.  My guess a "real" programmer
would cringe at some of my code, but hey it works.

The entire thing is being run on a customized version of RedHat Linux.

What was the question again? Oh' yea.  The message in step 5 is re-written
as a to:.  That is why every message from the list begins with to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Messages that are cc:'ed to the list end up being
converted.  I can not imagine this being a problem.  Is it?

Re: 6509 Configuration [7:8154]

2001-06-12 Thread Gonzalo P.

Friend,

 What you are trying to do is not hard, but, you need to go through a few
steps.
I imagine you have an MSFC card inside...

- Do a show modules and check if you can see it in slot 15 (and if it is in
state "ok")
- Try doing a session 15 (you should get to the router> prompt on the MSFC
- Configure the normal stuff in the router (password, vty, hostname etc...)
(just to check that the router is working fine)



 Go back to the switch and create the VLANS (maybe you already did this)
 Add VTP information (if you need it)

  Go back to the MSFC
 create the VLANS matching the ones you created in the switch... ( INT VLAN
3, ETC...)
 Do a NO SHUT in each one of them,

 __

 you will be ready to assign ports to in the Switch to each vlan,
communication will flow through the routing card..

You can later do more things on the config.. Like adding OSPF or whaterver
you are trying to accomplish.

Good Luck
-Gonzalo.

Re: Radware's linkproof and Fatpipe [7:8085]

2001-06-12 Thread John Neiberger

In that situation--where you need to be advertised from both
providers--these devices won't cut the mustard, at least as far as I can
tell.  We have had reps from both companies here to explain to us the
benefits of their products and they still really don't have a good way
to do what you're trying to do.

In our company we also host our own website and are multihomed.  In
this scenario we use BGP.  Entirely separate from that network we have
an ISP for outgoing internet access for our employees.  We will be
adding a second T-1 and then installing the Radware Linkproof hardware. 
In this case, we have no internal addresses that *have* to be advertised
from both ISPs so this will work quite well for us.

HTH,
John

Re: Vlans - maximum no of devices [7:8128]

2001-06-12 Thread Richard Deal

To all,

In Cisco's BCMSN class, they make the comment of "254". I think that Cisco
chose this number is because that most people use a "/24" mask for
subnetting. In BOTH of Cisco's design classes, this is the recommendation:
* IP= 500
* IPX = 300
* AT  = 200
* Mixed = 200

I think that the design classes make a more accurate guestimate, at least
I've seen this true from my consulting experience. However, EVERY network is
DIFFERENT--what works for one network won't work for another. I had one
customer that had 1,800 devices in the SAME broadcast domain--everything was
bridged, not routers. When I first heard this, I didn't believe it.
Actually, their network "kind of" worked. For 30 seconds traffic would go
through, and the next 30 seconds they'd have a broadcast storm. It was
pretty funny. Of course, they realized one day that when they added another
machine to the network, it broke the cycle, and then they decided to
redesign their network with routers (which was why I was there).

Enjoy!

Re: Voice Specialization Track [7:7962]

2001-06-12 Thread Michael L. Williams

I used the following books to pass the CVOICE 2.0 exam..

Configuring Voice over IP, Syngress Media, ISBN 1928994032 $38.95 (good
book...easy to read but detailed)

Cisco Packetized Voice and Data Integration, McGraw Hill, $35.50 ISBN
0071347771

I've got a few McGraw Hill books.  It covered the material as well
as the Syngress one, but I preferred the Syngress.  However, I think I read
the McGraw Hill one first, so perhaps I liked the Syngress one better
because I already had an understanding of the material

Hope this helps!

FYI:  You can get both of those books at www.bookpool.com (that's where I
got the above prices)

Well, now that you mention it... A Briton would have to hop onto a train
or plane to Brussels to take the CCIE lab. So would a German, a Greek,
or a Spaniard. I don't remember anything in the CCIE lab blueprint that
mentioned granting an extra 2 hours, or half-day, or whatever, to
candidates who don't speak natively whatever language(s) the lab
documents are written in and or the lab proctors speak or mangle. That
sounds inconsistent with the stated goals, esp. when the CCIE written
*has* the extension.

Amusingly, at least one Prometric testing center in Paris also offers an
ESL proficiency exam. But you're right, they shouldn't have to. However,
there are ways around this, such as letting you (the candidate) take the
exam again for free, perhaps limiting that to cases where you appear to
be in good faith and or didn't fail the exam abismally (which could be
decided by the number of correct answers to questions you had time to
answer before the ax felt). Also, the policy is cisco's, and my email
was addressed to cisco.

I must have a pedestrian imagination, because all solutions to that that
I could think of are uninteresting.

- If registering online: IMHO, someone who could navigate the test
  center's web pages should be able to understand a warning, or a
  mention, in plain English right at the point the option is offered.

- If registering in person or on the phone: you would presumably speak
  to someone (an administrative assistant or receptionist, perhaps) who
  speaks the same language as you.

And I may well end up doing that myself. Indeed, I did in the past. But
who said I can't try to change that policy and or get a good rant out of
it at the same time? 'Sides which, I have to live up to my reputation as

Re: DLSW+ [7:8116]

2001-06-12 Thread John Neiberger

My first guess was that those broadcasts you're seeing are spanning tree
explorers (or single route explorers) which I know that Netbios uses. 
However, since you're using DLSw+, any traffic coming in on the serial
interface will be IP, meaning that the router wouldn't see the Netbios
broadcast because it's encapsulated inside the IP packet.

It could be that the broadcasts you're seeing are a result of your
routing protocol.  IIRC, both broadcasts and multicasts show up in the
broadcast counters, and routing protocols will use one or the other.

Then again, I may be wrong.  I've never use DLSw+ to transport Netbios
so I really don't know what to expect in the way of traffic behavior.

Regards,
John

>>> "Charles Peter"  6/12/01 12:38:26 AM >>>
I am using DLSW to transport SNA traffic over Frame relay network.
There are AS/400 on the hub sites and Lotus notes (using NetBios) on

remote sites running on the network.
The serial interface of the hub site router keeps on receiving
broadcast.  
What does this broadcast come from ? Are they netbios broadcast from
the

Can I use dlsw icannotreach SAP f0 on the remote routers to filter it

Re: ISDN Simulator [7:8132]

2001-06-12 Thread Ed Dombrowski

I dont think there is any such thing as an "affordable" ISDN simulator but i
got the Emutel Solo and it works like a champ. It has configurable S/T or U
interfaces and supports all kinds of switch types. It is comparable to the
Teltone ILS 2000 ($2800) and the price direct from Arca technologies is
$1995. The only problem is that buying it direct is a HUGE pain in the butt.
I eventually bought mine from the supplier that is associated with
ccbootcamp.com. It was more then the direct price but saved a lot of time an
hassle. They sell for pretty big bucks on Ebay so i figure if after i am
done with it i can sell it for 70% of what i payed it isn't so painful.  HTH

Re: Route Updates and Fast Switching Cache [7:8110]

2001-06-12 Thread John Neiberger

Thanks to all who responded!  My confusion was that I expected the fast
switching cache to be cleared for a given route if a new route was
installed into the routing table.   So, let me see if I have this
straight:

Routing table contains a route for a.b.c.d.  The first packet is
process switched no matter what switching mode is enabled.  In the case
of fast switching this populates the route cache and any subsequent
packets will be forwarded using the cached entry--and here's where I was
confused--even if a subsequent equal-cost route is installed into the
RIB.

Only after the cache is invalidated by other methods will the the
router repopulate the cache with both entries because the
process-switched packet now has two choices available in the RIB.

Is that essentially correct?  I was under the mistaken impression that
the cache was more closely linked with the route installation process. 


Here is a related question that I'll have to check into:  if a route is
cached but then subsequently disappears from the routing table, does the
router continue to route using the cached entry or does it invalidate
the cache immediately at that point?

CCO, here I come.

Thanks all,
John

If I understand the question, the answer is correct.  Where you are 
getting confused is the difference in load balancing between process 
switching and fast switching.  Essentially, your thinking is correct 
if the interface were in process switching mode, which does 
per-packet load balancing. I'll make the minor nit that process 
switching has no cache, but looks things up directly in the RIB 
(i.e., main routing table).  Formally, per-packet is deterministic 
rather than statistical load balancing.

Fast switching uses per-destination load balancing. It will only have 
one cached entry to any destination; the load balancing comes as a 
result of having many cached entries to many destinations. 
Per-destination load balancing is statistical, not deterministic, and 
indeed can get unbalanced with a small number of destination.  CEF 
uses source-destination pair load balancing, which is still 
statistical but increases the number of choices and reduces the 
probability that the load will be unbalanced onto one interface in a 
group.

This is kind of a tall order...  I know what you are asking, but it's
somewhat rare that you would see a routing table with multiple routing
protocols.  I mean, you may have BGP running over OSPF as an IGP (carrying
the routes internal), but the Show IP Route really means slightly different
things for each routing protocol.  I'm sure you are aware of the legend @
the top of your Show IP Route output.  I think this is why screen shots &
explanations will generally be found under BGP, OSPF, RIP, etc.

Re: Configuring Priority and Class based on traffic type. [7:8172]

2001-06-12 Thread John Neiberger

Go to CCO and search for CBWFQ and LLQ.  We are using these methods
right now and I really enjoy the level of traffic control I have.  There
are too many examples to list so just look up those pages on CCO and the
rest is pretty easy.

Let us know if you run into any difficulties and we should be able to
help. Oh, I almost forgot, I think you need at least IOS 12.0 to do
this, possibly even 12.1, so make sure you have a recent IOS version.

fao: Catalyst Gurus [7:8177]

2001-06-12 Thread Larry Ogun-Banjo

We have just installed some new catalyst switches 650x and 69xx. I have
noticed
that whenever I connected with a fluke to test connectivity on the ports, it
takes approximately 20 secs to get its first contact with another device. I'm
aware the switch port needs to learn the mac address etc but I would not have
thought it would take so long. Are there any commands that would speedup the
network discovery or is this normal behaviour on a new port?
Pardon this trivial question but it would help.

RE: retransmissions [7:7731]

2001-06-12 Thread Hartnell, George

I like that "plain English" part; the computer people I know do not normally
speak plain English.

Actually, I've had some fascinating (to a computer person) times with a
Sniffer and retransmissions.  My aging DSS' expert analysis feature does
allow for quick 'drill downs', and is vastly superior, still, to Microsoft's
useful network monitor.

Using this, one of my more interesting finds was with an I/C seismometer
using IP to transmit information packets to a mini-cpu down at the
university.  Had a 'retransmit' error every three packets.  The geologist
were happy, the data was transferred and processed ok.  The Sniffer's
increments of red numbers, however, were quite annoying.

The 'retransmitted' packets were different sizes.  The sequence number from
the instrument side, however, did not change.  This, I believe, is one of
the 'definitions' of a retransmit.  This was not, however, an error
condition, except in the protocol violation. 

As happens with good test equipment, I persuaded the U. to replace the NIC
card and all was again sweetness and light.

There are other, more mundane, natural acts of retransmits.  It's fun to
watch outside/inside IP traffic once in a while.  Besides, it would give you
a 'feel' for what looks 'good' sos't when it's very, very bad, you have some
baseline for a troubleshooting start.  

And a baseline that 30% is too much on a sustained basis.

Very best, G.

Re: Semi-RANT: extended exams [7:7871]

2001-06-12 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

I'm not even sure if there's a CCIE test center in Australia, but, if 
there is, let's not be too hasty in assuming English, American, or 
Australian.

American candidate to Australian proctor, probably ok:  "ping that row-ter"

English candidate to Australian proctor, "ping that root-er," and the 
candidate immediately makes inappropriate physical contact with the 
person in the apparently appropriate direction.

Vaguely reminded of the Battle of Britain veteran, waving his hands 
and ranting "there were fokkers to the left of me, fokkers to the 
right of me..." and being interrupted with "There weren't any Fokkers 
in the Battle of Britain!"

"What does that have to do with it? These fokkers were Messerschmidts!"

(Wondering if this will get through the filters).

RE: Routing Table Question [7:8103]

2001-06-12 Thread Chuck Larrieu

It occurred to me that everything you want to know is on CCO. The problem as
always is how to find it. One of the required CCIE skill sets is ability to
find information on the document CD, of which there is an on-line version
at: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/home/home.htm

First place to check is either the config guides or the command references.
Having looked there, I found a couple you might want to peruse.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/ip_r
/iprprt2/1rdindep.htm#xtocid2797042
watch the word wrap

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ssr83/rpc_r/53992.h
tm
watch the wrap - and it IS there someplace - down towards the end :->

for BGP:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/ip_r
/iprprt2/1rdbgp.htm#xtocid1885372
definitely watch the wrap here

CCO can be a pain sometimes. But it is ALL there.  Over on the CCIE list,
one constant is the advice to learn how to use and search through these
references. Doing it by entering a search phrase on the home page is
generally useless.

This is kind of a tall order...  I know what you are asking, but it's
somewhat rare that you would see a routing table with multiple routing
protocols.  I mean, you may have BGP running over OSPF as an IGP (carrying
the routes internal), but the Show IP Route really means slightly different
things for each routing protocol.  I'm sure you are aware of the legend @
the top of your Show IP Route output.  I think this is why screen shots &
explanations will generally be found under BGP, OSPF, RIP, etc.

Can you tell us what you are having the greatest difficulty with, then maybe
we could work backwards (assuming a better link cannot be found).

Re: IPSEC (ESP) over NAT ? [7:8150]

2001-06-12 Thread Allen May

You just make an access-list that disables NAT for certain IP
source/destination combinations.  That way the client sitting behind the NAT
server who goes through VPN will not be NAT'd when it tries to go through
the VPN.  This would obviously change the source IP and VPN would not allow
it to pass through.

I hope that's what you were looking for.  It worked on a 2600 to PIX VPN
solution with NAT on the 2600 and PIX both on a solution I implemented.  It
should be the same principle.

Policy Based Routing with MPLS (HELP) !!! [7:8185]

2001-06-12 Thread Sivaramakrishna Iyer Krishnan

Hi All,

Topology of my network.


|--(fe)SB3(1.1.15.2)
1.1.13.1
|(fe)
SB1 (fe) (fe)R3 (fddi)--(fddi)R5 (pos)--- (pos)R1
(pos)- (pos)R4(fe) -(fe)SB2(1.1.16.2)

|(atm)   |(atm)

--

legend :

R : CISCO 7505 routers running IOS 12.0(16)ST
fe : fast ethernet
atm : ATM
POS : Packet over sonet
FDDI : FDDI
SB : smart bits

SB1 has 2 streams of traffic. One destined to SB3 and another to SB2. I
have two MPLS tunnels set up(tunnel 3 and tunnel 4). I am running OSPF
as my intra domain routing protocol.

Path for tunnel3 : R3  R5  R1  R4
Path for tunnel4 : R3  R5  R4

Pbm. : If I want the traffic reaching SB3 to go through tunnel 3 and the
traffic reaching SB2 to go through tunnel 4, what am I supposed to do at
router R3   I tried using policy based routing but I am not sure
if I configured it the right way.  The config I did for policy based
routing is given below. Also, I understand that when I create a MPLS
tunnel and reserve bandwith for QoS it is done from R3 to R4 and is not
end to end. In order for me to do it end to end, how do I do it. (e.g.)
the QoS is guaranteed only until the POS of R4 and not until the fe
interface that connects R4 to SB3.

access-list 2 permit 1.1.15.2
access-list 3 permit 1.1.16.2
route-map escher permit 10
 match ip address 2
 set interface Tunnel3
!
route-map escher1 permit 10
 match ip address 3
 set interface Tunnel4
!
interface tunnel 3
ip policy route-map escher
!
interface tunnel 4
ip policy route-map escher1

When I start sending data from SB1 I see the traffic reaching SB2 and
SB3 but the traffic flowing through tunnel4 is 0 and I presume traffic
is flowing through the other tunnel.

Another question I have is if I am sending about 100 Mbps of traffic
thorugh SB1 towards SB2(50Mbps) and SB3(50 Mbps) then if the tunnel is
configured only to carry 3 kbps of traffic, will any traffic go
through the tunnel or would it just follow the shortest path provided by
OSPF. I guess I want to know how to find out whether traffic is going
through tunnel or through OSPF routing.

Any pointers or reading material suggestions would be highly
appreciated.

Please help, thanks in advance and for your patience to read through my
mail.

Thanks,
Krishnan.

Re: PIX static address translation question [7:8031]

Yeah that's correct.  Conduits still work on 5.3(1) on mine as well.  I'm
still planning on removing all conduit statements and replacing with ACLs
soon to be ready for the change that Cisco keeps promising to put into
effect so I'm not caught off guard.  I haven't tried version 6 yet though so
I'm not sure about that one.

Re: fao: Catalyst Gurus [7:8177]

2001-06-12 Thread John Neiberger

You are experiencing the Spanning Tree process, which blocks ports
temporarily while it determines if you just have hosts connected to that
port or if you are connecting additional switches.  This process takes
about 30 seconds.  If you want to turn this off on a port-by-port basis
you need to enable a feature called PortFast.  I don't know the exact
syntax on a 6500 so you'll have to check into that.

hi all,
We run a gre tunnel between sites across an isp network...sometimes we lose 
connectivity (ipx mainly and somtimes both IP & IPX) but the show tunnel and 
show interface commands gives an up, up status.

The only thing unusual is that the show int f0/0 commands reveals a rising 
number of packets deferred. what does the ' deferred' signify and 
can anybody pls come up with tips on making this tunnel a trouble free one.

strictly correct BUT)

an addition to tag switching using traffic engineering ,QOS COS,RSVP,and

Larry,

two things that can cause the delay: 

STP - Spanning Tree Protocol

Solution: 'set spantree portfast  enable'
(Use it only on end-station ports)

PAgP - Port Aggregation Protocol

Solution: 'set port channel  off'
(PAgP is enabled by default on EtherChannel capable links)

Not quite correct. PortFast does not disable STP. It puts a port initially
into 'Forwarding' state and then watches if loops occur. If for some reason
the port is forced into 'Blocking' state and later needs to return to the
'Forwarding' state, it has to go through the 'Listening' and 'Learning'
phases.

Re: Gre tunnel - ip and ipx packet loss -URGENT!!!!!!!! [7:8201]

2001-06-12 Thread Reinhold Fischer

How is the FastEthernet 0/0 connected to the LAN ? Deferred means that the
frame was discarded due to too many consecutive collisions on the medium.
The router tried to send the frame to the ethernet a few times but it had 
no success - collisions always occured and the frame got discarded. Can you
check how the Router is connected to the LAN ? Is it a shared medium with
many stations accessing it ? How many percent of the packets outgoing to
the fa0/0 get errors ? It may be well possible that the problem is
not the tunnel

Larry,

two things that can cause the delay:

STP - Spanning Tree Protocol

Solution: 'set spantree portfast  enable'
(Use it only on end-station ports)

PAgP - Port Aggregation Protocol

Solution: 'set port channel  off'
(PAgP is enabled by default on EtherChannel capable links)

Re: fao: Catalyst Gurus [7:8177]

2001-06-12 Thread Reinhold Fischer

EtherChannel allows you to bundle physical links into one logical link.
As example you can create a 200Mpbs pipe out of 2 100Mbps links. PAgP
is the protocol that negotiates this channel. PAgP is by default active
on all ports that are EtherChannel capable. PAgP uses the first 15 to 20
seconds after link initialization to try to negotiate an EtherChannel.
If you don't intend to use EtherChannel you can safely disable PAgP.

Greetings

passed switching test! [7:8207]

2001-06-12 Thread Jennifer Cribbs

I did it890 on my test and there was one question that I didn't even
answer.  It had two screens and was a fill in the
blank where I was supposed to write in domain name, ip address and the vlan
numbers and name.  I hit the wrong
button and went to the next question...darn...  It was relatively an easy
easy exam and only took me 20 minutes.

My scores were:

CGMP100%
Cisco Fundamentals  100%
Multicast100%
Multilayer Switching 83%
Spanning Tree 75%
Switching Interconnectivity  90%
Troubleshooting 100%
Trunking  75%
VLAN Operations 66%  


My next test will be the routing one.  But first I want to figure out what
the heck falls under the catagory of vlan
operations.  With no experience, I will be sadly lacking in skills if I
don't know that.

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful discussions.  That and tim boyes and
sybex and the cisco university helped me
achieve this.  And my very very very patient husband.

Jennifer Cribbs 


Have a great day!!
Jennifer

Re: Cable modem connection and a Cisco Router [7:8208]

2001-06-12 Thread James Willard

I use my 1605 at home for my cable modem connection. You need IOS 12.1 or
later to make the router act as a DHCP client. Use "ip address dhcp" on the
interface connected to the cable modem. One thing you have to be aware of
(or maybe someone can provide a workaround for me?) is that I have to
manually change the ip address of the NAT pool when my DHCP lease changes. I
can however specify the ethernet interface in the static port mapping
entries (PAT), which prevents me from having to change all of those.

Subject: passed switching test! [7:8207]


I did it890 on my test and there was one question that I didn't even
answer.  It had two screens and was a fill in the
blank where I was supposed to write in domain name, ip address and the vlan
numbers and name.  I hit the wrong
button and went to the next question...darn...  It was relatively an easy
easy exam and only took me 20 minutes.

My scores were:

CGMP100%
Cisco Fundamentals  100%
Multicast100%
Multilayer Switching 83%
Spanning Tree 75%
Switching Interconnectivity  90%
Troubleshooting 100%
Trunking  75%
VLAN Operations 66%  


My next test will be the routing one.  But first I want to figure out what
the heck falls under the catagory of vlan
operations.  With no experience, I will be sadly lacking in skills if I
don't know that.

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful discussions.  That and tim boyes and
sybex and the cisco university helped me
achieve this.  And my very very very patient husband.

Jennifer Cribbs 


Have a great day!!
Jennifer

frame-relay route question [7:8217]

2001-06-12 Thread Khurrum Shahzad

When connecting cisco router ( as frame-relay switch) with frame relay
device, I configured frame relay route as

Serial 0Dlci in  16to   Serial 1 Dlci out 26
Serial 1Dlci in  27to   Serial 0 Dlci out 17
( require only these 2 routes)

But "show frame-relay pvc" shows both route status inactive and both route
does not work.

When I give additional two route ( not required ) 

Serial 1Dlci in  26to   Serial 1 Dlci out 16
Serial 0Dlci in  17to   Serial 0 Dlci out 27

then both route status become active and configuration works.

Is it necessary that dlci path must be completed?Because sometime it is not
required to complete path of dlci.

Can anybody give me guidence on this topic ?

Re: Help on VLAN configuration [7:8127]

2001-06-12 Thread Bob S

Hello,

My replies are in line.  But you should include an ASCII topology to give us 
a better understanding of what you are trying to accomplish.

How many routers will you have? one, two. With this two subnets in one 
router means you'll put them in two different interfaces.  If you are going 
to put this in one ethernet interface, you'll not be able to trunk using 
ethernet interface.

>For eg x.x.1.3

Yes, you can but the better thing to do is to make the vlan interface be the 
default gateway for your PCs.

For example:

Cat5509 ISLCat6509 w/MSFC
 ||  |   |
 ||  |   |
PC   PC PC  PC
   (V1)  (V2)   (V2)   (V1)

You'll have two vlan interfaces at the MSFC and the PC's in V1 will have 
their gateway point to vlan 1 interface of the MSFC and the PC's in V2 will 
have their gateway point to vlan 2 interface.



>What will be the default gateway address configured on
>MSFC in this case ? ( Will it point towards the
>address  of the Ethernet interface of the External

Yes, it will point to the next hop router if that router have all the routes 
to anything that the MSFC does not know about.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

Yes, both the switches can be in server mode but they have to be in the same 
vtp domain.

>Do the trunk ports have to have an IP address ?
Trunked ports betweeen the 5509 and 6509 are layer2 ports they do not have 
ip addresses.

You don't put a subnet in four diffrent vlans that' not the purpose of 
vlans.

VLANs allow you to group ports on a switch to limit unicast, multicast, and 
broadcast traffic flooding. Flooded traffic originating from a particular 
VLAN is only flooded out other ports belonging to that VLAN.

Re: VIP capacity [7:8152]

2001-06-12 Thread Kevin Wigle

This is more a discussion on bus loading.

In a document from Networkers 2000 - "Cisco 7000 Family Hardware
Configuration and Performance Optimization", Session 2805

the term IBBF, Interface Bus Bandwidth Factor is talked about.

On page 90 of the powerpoint presentation, it lists the MC-E3 with an IBBF
of 64 and the T3 with an IBBF of 113. This totals 177.  The same page says
that an IBBF of 500 is the load limit for a VIP2.  For info, the 8T has an
IBBF of 40

On the 7513 there are 2 cybus'. Each cybus can handle an IBBF of 1066.  This
takes in all the cards plugged into that particular cybus.

So, the VIP2 can handle the two high speed PAs but you still might want to
put one on the other cbus.

However, if your router is that close to 1066, you have other problems.

Just a fyi, to check how loaded your cbus is, give the command:

show controller cbus utilization.

Re: Vlans - maximum no of devices [7:8128]

2001-06-12 Thread Bob S

That limitation sounds like the number of host in a class C address group.  
You know, 256 address minus the network address and the broadcast address.  
There is no limitation, but of courses common sense would tell you that the 
more workstation contending for the same resource would introduce many 
problems.  But 300 is not too high.

Wake on LAN [7:8221]

2001-06-12 Thread khramov

Hi,
  I've got a TR network and I am trying to to get wake on lan to work.
It works when I connect workstation through a hub to the server that
initializes wake on lan, however, when I connect workstation to the
actual network it does not work.
I've got a 4000 Cisco router and 8272 IBM TR Switch, is there any
special configurations I need set up on the router or switch for the
wake on lan to work.
