2001-07-22 Thread Marius .R. Banica

Hi there, I got A small question iam using Cisco 800 and my problem is that
whenever the ISDN line gets disconnected it wont re-dail and when I boot the
Router it dosent dial.

re: good news and bad news for 1 day lab [7:13240]

2001-07-22 Thread Elvis Costello

[demime could not interpret encoding binary - treating as plain text]
8000!!! Is this possible??? Assuming even a marginal passing rate, that sure
dumps a lot of CCIEs into an already depressed employment arena.  Surely the
VAR appetite can't be that ravenous with the techonomy on its backside?

Maybe those "trucking schools" that advertise on late night tv will soon
branch out into CCIE training/quickie certification as well.

I'm fearing the day that I see a "Guaranteed CCIE in 7 days" banner on any
given tech site.  This doesn't sound that far-fetched if Cisco caves further
and simply allows/promotes widespread remote-access "lab" testing [which
will no doubt be considered attractive by some bean counters at Cisco who
will always strive for full automation -- effectively reducing the "lab"
terminology to a complete joke as it becomes just another rote memorization
mcse-like exercise].  Let's hope not

btw -- Based on my experience in the field (which may not necessarily be a
great example), it seems that quite often MANY network "problems" are
related to the "no brainer" topics that Cisco is reportedly electing to
eliminate (setting up and troubleshooting cabling and addressing issues).

Nothing like sacrificing the fundamentals at the altar of expediency.

Guys,
There are some good news and some bad for the CCIE LAB exam .

Good News :
1- the lab is changing into one day lab (not to stress on 2 day hard
working)
2- the basic configuration like ip addressing and cabling are pre-installed
3- the best in all no reverse telneting (no need to practic on access
server)
4- lab can now be schedul earlier
5- affective from 1 sept.
6- no need to take the written exam again if u are of old one as both the
written and lab is changing
7- all the topics are unchanged so no need to look for more... only patren
had changed
8- best in all the 30 marks seperate troubleshooting is not requried but
will be testing on that same day th proctor will monitor u how u
troubleshoot devices.
9- The knob switch will be added to the lab for shifting from one router to
another for config. (very easy)... and it will cost u around $40.


Bad news :
1- According to CISCO the market have only 6000 CCIE around the globle so
more should be needed so i think the CCIE will be in SURPLUS after it like
MCSE and CCNP as they are giving relax to this project.
2- 3900 token ring switch is added.
3- may be LS1010 will be added to the lab.
4- according to JEFF (CCIE lab Manager) the VoIP will be in the lab at
anytime.
5- There are around 8000 people to go for the CCIE lab in sept till nov. so
i thing there will be many CCIE .. oo

Re: CCIE written [7:7411]

2001-07-22 Thread Nick Lesewski

I studied from all three and I think they all had good material. The test is 
$300 to fail; you can get all three bosons for 1/3 of that.  I'd say get all 
three and spend your time with them; this is the hardest of the Cisco tests 
and I wouldn't want to blow it to save $30.

I'd also take a look at the getting some of the books or study guides that 
have come out recently.  I wouldn't trust one source, no matter how good.

Just my $.02 (but I passed)

Cisco Press Vs Sybex Which Way Forward ===> [7:13243]

2001-07-22 Thread Oletu Hosea Godswill CCNP, CCNA.

Hi group,
(Please contribute to this trend from you own experience.This is my own
experience and perception and I will accept responsibilities for been wrong
and will learn from my errors through your contribuctions)

I wrote my last CCNP exam 23rd of last month and that was BCRAN, all through
my CCNP series I used Cisco press except for BCSN ---I did not use any book
for this exam, I depend on the internet, CCO and many white papers on RIP,
RIPv2, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF and BGP.

I wrote my CCDA exam two days ago and I used Sybex cos I could not lay my
hands on Cisco press. Guess what, I saw hell in the exam hall. At the end of
the day I passed not because I have read the sybex book but because of the
residual knowledge I had gathered from my CCNP series and other things. From
then I made a decision never to read sybex. Even 20 minutes before the exam
at
the exam centre I saw cisco press book displayed on the bookstand, curiousity
made me to pick it and just flip through it, on going through it, I
discovered
that I was not yet prepared for the exam going by the standard set by Todd
lammle in his sybex book, but it was too late to cancel the exam, I had to
write it anyhow and thank God I passed.

I will be taking my CID to obtain my CCDP by the end of this month, I have
taken the extra effort to comb the whole town and have secured a Cisco press
book for that exam.

Todd Lammle would do us in the networking field a lot of good if he go and
get
his CCNP. He can't be writing CCDA, CCNP and CCIE books gear towards the exam
proper, without passing through the examination process. Good, he might be a
good writer and also might have some wealth of experience. But you would
agree
with me that, the exams are different scenerio from the day to day hands-on
job and it is a different ball game from one having experience. Many who
boast
of tons of years of experience can go in for these exams and still fail it.

Let Todd Lammle at be patience and only write books for which he is
certified,
by this he will gain more popularity. I like his books for their simpilicity
and easy of understanding, but what am against is that do not use that to
shield me from difficult and complex areas the exam would be bordered on.

Am sorry, not against Todd Lammle in any sense, I appreciate his great
contributions to us the networking folks, am only trying to suggest ways
through which he can really be of more immense surpport and help to us.

Please you are free to confirm or otherwise contradict what I have just said.

I wish you all well.

My 2 cents
Regards.

It will still be stressful I'm sure.

I would agree that that is good,  Like it has been said a million time
already, The addressing should be covered in the written.  The cabling part
is a "no brainer" anyway.

> 3- the best in all no reverse telneting (no need to practic on access

That is Good?  Reverse telnet is a good thing to learn. Although not that
hard,  I have set up many a 3660 as a pure consol access server for large
server farms, etc.

> 4- lab can now be schedul earlier

Thats definitly good for Cisco's revenue. And good for future CCIE's stress
level while studying.

That is a definitely good,  the less money we have to give sylvan, the
better !!

We will see how that goes,

No terminal server at all ???  Some funky serial switch instead of a term
server.  Wierd.

> Bad news :

> more should be needed so i think the CCIE will be in SURPLUS after it like

It's more like 4 of 5 thousand.  Lot's of CCIE's have not recertified or are
Inactive.

> 2- 3900 token ring switch is added.

Huh  ??  That switch has been in the lab for over a year already.  Where are
you getting your information ??

> 3- may be LS1010 will be added to the lab.

I doubt it.  The ATM portion has been slowly getting easier and easier.  Not
much call for LANE in the real world anymore.

> 4- according to JEFF (CCIE lab Manager) the VoIP will be in the lab at

That's nothing new either.  Voice has been in the lab for WAY over a year
now.  I see them stepping this up even more, but not too much.  The new
Voice CCIE will be focused in this area.

> 5- There are around 8000 people to go for the CCIE lab in sept till nov.
so
> i thing there will be many CCIE .. oo

8K people being tested in a 3 month period ???   I don't think s.

I think it's too early to get all freaked out about the new format.  Time
will tell.  However, It's a wake up call for me.  As has been mentioned in
earlier threads, it's time for me to be more "well rounded".  I'm going to
upgrade my MCSE,  learn active directory,  Get some solid UNIX skills and
Net managment skills,  Continue my studies in other technologies like Sonet,
IP telephoney,  SS7, etc.

I just see the writing on the wall.  It says:  " The CCIE is not all you
need to get a foot in the door anymore,  you  need LOTS of skills."

And you know what?   I can't bitch about it.  I got into this industry cus I
liked the challange.  Can't stop being challanged just because I got a brass
hocky puck in a frame.

Working Frame Relay Point-to-Point Config [7:13245]

2001-07-22 Thread Albert Lu

Hello Group,

Could someone point me to (or send me) a working config for a Frame switch
and routers attached to it, using point-to-point connections. I'm currently
stuck on this for my routers, as the PVCs are there but in a deleted state.
I probably should have included my configs in this email, but I'm not at my
routers at the moment, and I'm sure it's something simple that I have
missed.

Thanks for your help.

2001-07-22 Thread Farhan Ahmed

Deleted means that the Frame Relay switch doesn't have this DLCI programmed
for the router. But it was programmed at some point in the past. This could
also be caused by the DLCIs being reversed on the router, or by the PVC
being deleted by the telco in the Frame Relay cloud. Configuring a DLCI
(that the switch doesn't have) will show up as a 0x4

rather than us supply you with working configs, why don't you tell us what
you have done? what troubleshooting have you performed? on the frame switch
have you checked your frame routes? are you sure they are correct? do you
have the DCE end of the cable attached to the interface where the clock rate
is configured? this may not be the same as the interface where the frame
intf-type DCE is configured.

if your show frame pvc is indicating deleted, your configured DLCIs are not
correct. make sure what you have configured on the router links match what
is configured on the frame switch link.

Hi,
i have another troubleshooting problem.
2 routers A and B are both directly connected : s0 -
s0, s1 - s1, and the e0 of routerB is connected to the
switch.I set the default gateway on the switch to the
e0 of router B.All links are up.I could ping each
connected interface a while ago,but right now i
can't.I did some other configs on the roouters,but
that didn't affect the interfaces being up.They are
up.
Could any one pls tell me what i could be
neglecting.The
"sh ip arp" and "sh ip route" both show that they are
directly connected and the ip add has been mapped.

2001-07-22 Thread Jennifer Cribbs

Both authors/publishers are different.  I used cisco press for one test and 
sybex for another.  I felt better prepared by cisco press material.  I don't 
think that is due to a lack of a certification on the sybex end of things,
but
more due to the fact that c.p. just goes into more detail in their books, 
therefore increasing the level of material covered on a particular subject. 
Comparing you way via subject matter with both books is really the way to
go.
Just a opinion and what I plan on doing for my next test.

I disagree. I'm an inactive CCSI, under the "old school" 
certification rules.  While I direct CertificationZone's content, I 
have no intention of getting further Cisco certifications.  This is 
for a couple of reasons, and, without speaking for Todd, might very 
well be his reasons.

Cisco's lawyers are extremely aggressive at pursuing what they 
consider even the appearance of NDA violations.  I can't be accused 
of violating the confidentiality of a test I've never taken.

Second, I take the viewpoint that I am preparing materials that first 
help the student understand the test content, and second deal with 
test mechanics. The world is full of examples of people that are 
extremely effective teachers of subjects that they either never 
practiced or no longer currently practice.  I think you'll find that 
most sports coaches with a significant winning record were not Hall 
of Fame in their sports. Most protocol developers are not CCIEs. 
Some very good obstetricians are men. The best collegiate fencer I 
knew was at a time when women could not compete, so she became her 
team coach.

I believe it's more important to have a thorough understanding of the 
principles of the test than the test mechanics.  On this list and 
elsewhere, including open Cisco sources, there is a lot of material

You are correct that the Cisco Press authors are able to get closer 
to the course material without offending Cisco, but I doubt they have 
access to the question pool.

Re: [7:13198]

2001-07-22 Thread Michael Todd

I have a suggestion for this problem...
If packets only above a certain datagram size are being dropped, perhaps one
of the devices that the pings are traversing has it's MTU set way too low. A
good way to troubleshoot this is to do an extended ping with the DF set and
try pinging with sweeping sizes. You will get in return which device is
denying the packet due to it's MTU and don't fragment set to 1. This will
tell you what device it is stopping at and what it's configured MTU is. Hope
this helps.

Verify that show arp in both routers show eachothers IP addresses. Make sure

2001-07-22 Thread Leigh Anne Chisholm

Howard's got some excellent points in his post--especially with regard to
the fact that even though you haven't passed a particular exam doesn't mean
that you're not qualified to develop material for that exam...

Although I can't find any information as to exactly what certifications Todd
has, I wouldn't dismiss the lack of formally presenting his certifications
as that he doesn't hold those certifications.  I would strongly suspect that
he does.  Like Todd, I too write certification material for Sybex.  Anyone
who developed the original Sybex "Virtual Test Centers" was required to
write the corresponding certification exam.  I'd suspect Sybex expects the
same of Todd -- that they expect him to write the corresponding exam for
each book.

With respect to your dismissing Todd based on the CCDA book--Todd's listed
as a "contributor".  That doesn't mean that he put the book together
himself...  exactly what his role was in the production of that book is
vague.

Some people like Todd's books because he approaches things differently than
Cisco Press books do--and that's what Sybex offers that's different from
Cisco.  If you have nothing unique to offer over your competitor, you have
no product.  Some people like Sybex best, others like Cisco best.
Personally, I like being able to get the guts of the information while also
getting background as to why things work the way and anecdotal stories about
how things may have been implemented.  Howard B's definitely a great
resource when it comes to history and experience - not only because he's so
incredibly knowledgable, but also because he enjoys sharing his experiences
with others which enhances their knowledge bases.  I don't think you'll ever
find a Cisco Press (nor Sybex) book talking about 1's and 0's being like
smoke--the 0 bits float in the air like cigarette smoke, while the 1 bits
fall to the floor.  Or what about the problems associated with running
telephone lines on farmer's fence posts?  And when I write, I try to
incorporate things people might not be aware of and that's what makes what I
have to offer different than anyone else.  I have my own unique
experiences...  And for some topics, I've got more experience than others,
so you'll find some of my material better than others.  Welcome to

I agree with Chuck... I'll take good advice from anywhere I can get it
This goes back to :
"where go you get your good judgment?"
"I get my good judgment from good experience!"
"And where do you get your good experience?"
"From bad judgment!"

I tend to like the Cisco Press books more for the certification series than
the others.  First, Cisco is putting their name on the books - Granted,
Cisco Press is another publishing company and they are out to make money.
However I have to believe that when a Cisco Press book says CCNP/CCDP, it
follows the actual Cisco course material more closely, at least that is my
experience from reading the books then taking the exams.

Remember, there are many ways to do something... but there is also the
"Cisco way" - not to say that the Cisco way is always right, or even wrong,
but when they make a statement in a class, it should be that way for the
exam.  Like the difference between a pilot and a prototype... I come from an
electronics engineering background... I think Cisco has the terms reversed
in their texts...  But when it comes to the exam... its the Cisco Way.

There are many authors out there, of which I am one. I was a contributing
author to a book in a CCNP series.  My certification doesn't mean that I am
an expert, and by no means does my Cisco certification qualify me to teach.
The sign of a good author or instructor is how well they are able to present
the material... Yes, they have to know the material, and this is through
experience.  However, my experience doesn't provide me with any more insight
to the Cisco exams than the person reading the book other than I have taken
the exam and passed.  I make statements relating to the  exam blueprint, and
those statements are related to my education and my experience keeping
in mind, that my answer may not be the Cisco answer -

In some of the advertising blurb I've seen they suggest that the same Cisco
Press men/women/whatever have a hand in writing the questions in the pool.
Whether it is spin or not the suggestion is that if you buy a Cisco Press
book you buy part of the family jewels.

I can't see Cisco missing a profit if they have a hand in the publishing.
Surely Cisco Press is sanctioned by Cisco purely by reason of the name,
could you see them doing a second best for their own publishers.  However
the books are quite high brow  when compared to Sybex or Syngress.

I suggest that if you have the cash that Syngress to Sybex, Sybex to Cisco
is about right as it covers a gentle learning curve.  My tuppence worth.

RE: Cisco Press Vs Sybex Which Way Forward ===> [7:13243]

2001-07-22 Thread Robert Padjen

All -

As an author who has worked closely with Todd I would
like to set the record straight, and I will also
invite him to join in this discussion.

There are three classifications of author - an author,
a co-author, and a contributor. CiscoPress adds a
fourth - an editor. An author typically writes the
most chapters and is responsible for the outline of
the book. He or she may read all the materials from
others, but not always. A co-author typically writes a
few chapters, and may contribute to the outline.
Contributors may write up to a chapter, and may
contribute advise or other materials (glossary,
introduction, etc). Editors typically take material
from other sources and combine them.

For CID, I wrote the book. Todd provided guidance, the
glossary, and the base introduction. We edited it in
Dallas, FYI. I am proud of the text, and disappointed
to learn that a reader was unhappy with the CCDA book
and chose to avoid the CID material as a result. The
same is also true - you may love the CCNA text, but
that doesn't mean that the Routing book will work for
you.

Typically we, through Sybex, Syngress, etc., (I am
working on a book for Syngress now (AVVID)), try to
maintain a consistent level and style, but sometimes
the author's background or expertise alters this. In
addition, for the certifications, all of us (to my
knowledge) have passed the test at least once and many
take the test a few times. We also use (based on my
experience) sample tests, CCO, the Cisco materials,
other's experiences, and feedback from readers. It is
permitted to write a book on a subject without
attaining the certification related to that test (but
you must still pass that one test).

As a former journalist, I was forced to learn how to
research a topic I knew nothing about and present it,
then forget and move on. This skill is very useful in
authoring, however, I am greatful to be able to select
topics that I know and that are easily augmented with
research.

Please look at each text as its own work, and select
authors based on what works for you. For example, I
like to write with lots of 'experience' material and
in the third person while others are successful with
the first person, just the facts presentation. I test
my materials by pre-releasing chapters to a couple of
beginner level collegues and having them take the
test. If they do well then I wrap it up... if not we
try to tweak...

CiscoPress is good, depending on the text, and I use
them outside of writing a lot. However, these books
frequently are best for people who desire less
hand-holding. Sybex tends to lead the reader through
the process. Both have advantages, and disadvantages.

Configure Nat with BGP [7:13265]

2001-07-22 Thread Justin Lofton

I'm trying to configure NAT on a router that is running BGP between 4
internet circuits.  Can't find anything on CCO.  Which interface do I use as
ip nat outside? Just one or all four?  I'm confused.  Can anyone out there
help me with this one?

Thanks Everyone!

Re: Configure Nat with BGP [7:13265]

2001-07-22 Thread B.J. Wilson

I don't think it really matters which routing protocol you use.  The
"inside" interface is the one with the address you want to keep private
(like a 10.0.0.0 address).  The "outside" interface is the one with a
publically-routable address (anything other than 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, or
192.168.0.0).

RE: Configure Nat with BGP [7:13265]

2001-07-22 Thread Chuck Larrieu

with BGP, ( and with most protocols, for that matter ) one must consider the
hop distance. BGP can also be a bit pickier in that the protocol is designed
requiring the end points be on the same network. If you are natting, then by
definition the endpoints are not on the same network.

that said, what trickery can one use? static nat because remember your far
side has to be configured with a static neighbor statement. there is no
guarantee your natted BGP router will get the same address assignment every
time. then there is the ebgp multihop, which needs be in place if the two
neighbors are not on the same net. and there must be a route to the defined
neighbor in the routing table. this is usually done by static routes. for
your outside router, how do you provide a static route across public space
to a private inside address? anyplace along the way some router might have a
private space directly connected network of that net number, and then you're
screwed. or a filter denying traffic destined to private space, and then
you're screwed. and how would you troubleshoot this mess.

personally, I think you're looking for trouble when you design with your
edge router ( BGP ) behind NAT. what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

RE: Working Frame Relay Point-to-Point Config [7:13245]

2001-07-22 Thread Ryan O'Reilly

Hi,

When you say point to point what do you mean exactly? Do you mean a
point-to-point "cast type" where you have one FR router connect to only one
other FR router through "the cloud" or a frame switch?

Or do you mean a NNI connection where one FrameRelay router can communicate
directly to a physically connected Router without a frame-relay switch?

Last week I spent a couple hours playing around with NNI connections but
gave up in favor of sleep... in either case Cisco has examples on their
website, I just haven't gotten the NNI thing to work yet.

Anybody know any NNI gotcha's that may have been easily overlooked on
Cisco's examples?

Thanks!

Just a reminder to everyone. This is a study list, and as such certain
activities have been deemed inappropriate by the list owner.

One of those activities is the requesting of information about brain dump
sites.

Unfortunately, of late, there have been enough of these that have hit the
moderators' queue that it merits an explanation.

If you have been posting requests asking for brain dump sites, those posts
are being deleted out of hand, along with the incessant posts requesting one
be subscribed or unsubscribed to the list

If you are requesting information about the relative merits of various study
materials, your friendly moderator is a bit more flexible.

Re: Configure Nat with BGP [7:13265]

2001-07-22 Thread Tony Medeiros

I don't think you want to do that.  If you have the bucks for 4 internet
circuits,  you should have the bucks for a firewall or another router behind
your edge router to do the nat. I doubt that this will work.  In fact,  If
you have any asymmetric routing going on at all (packets going out one
interface and returning on a different one),  It flat out won't work.

I can foresee so many issues with this setup that I wouldn't even attempt
it.  I suppose that if you had just static mappings and tweaked the BGP just
right it might work.  But if you have a circuit failure and BGP rolls over
to another interface,  it will break the sessions.  Load balancing will be a
nightmare.  So will peering.  Maybe this could be done with loopbacks and
policy routing on the inside interface pointing at the loopbacks for the
next hop...  I don't know.  It sounds too ugly even to try.  Maybe I'm
wrong,  Anybody else ever try this ???

My humble opinion..  Get a firewall or another router.

Hi group,
(Please contribute to this trend from you own experience.This is my own
experience and perception and I will accept responsibilities for been wrong
and will learn from my errors through your contribuctions)

I wrote my last CCNP exam 23rd of last month and that was BCRAN, all through
my CCNP series I used Cisco press except for BCSN ---I did not use any book
for this exam, I depend on the internet, CCO and many white papers on RIP,
RIPv2, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF and BGP.

I wrote my CCDA exam two days ago and I used Sybex cos I could not lay my
hands on Cisco press. Guess what, I saw hell in the exam hall. At the end of
the day I passed not because I have read the sybex book but because of the
residual knowledge I had gathered from my CCNP series and other things. From
then I made a decision never to read sybex. Even 20 minutes before the exam
at
the exam centre I saw cisco press book displayed on the bookstand,
curiousity
made me to pick it and just flip through it, on going through it, I
discovered
that I was not yet prepared for the exam going by the standard set by Todd
lammle in his sybex book, but it was too late to cancel the exam, I had to
write it anyhow and thank God I passed.

I will be taking my CID to obtain my CCDP by the end of this month, I have
taken the extra effort to comb the whole town and have secured a Cisco press
book for that exam.

Todd Lammle would do us in the networking field a lot of good if he go and
get
his CCNP. He can't be writing CCDA, CCNP and CCIE books gear towards the
exam
proper, without passing through the examination process. Good, he might be a
good writer and also might have some wealth of experience. But you would
agree
with me that, the exams are different scenerio from the day to day hands-on
job and it is a different ball game from one having experience. Many who
boast
of tons of years of experience can go in for these exams and still fail it.

Let Todd Lammle at be patience and only write books for which he is
certified,
by this he will gain more popularity. I like his books for their simpilicity
and easy of understanding, but what am against is that do not use that to
shield me from difficult and complex areas the exam would be bordered on.

Am sorry, not against Todd Lammle in any sense, I appreciate his great
contributions to us the networking folks, am only trying to suggest ways
through which he can really be of more immense surpport and help to us.

Please you are free to confirm or otherwise contradict what I have just
said.

I wish you all well.

My 2 cents

RE: Off topic - Tools for measurement - SLA [7:13087]

2001-07-22 Thread Urooj's Hi-speed Internet

Paulo,
You may first want to skim through RFC's 1242/2285 for terminology of tests
and measurements, plus RFC's 1944, 2544 and 2889 for the methodology of
these tests. This may seem like a lot of reading but would definitely help.

As far as measuring equipment is concerned you may want to look at packet
generators such as SmartBits and many more. The packet generation capability
of Cisco routers by typing an undocumented command "ttcp" may also be worth
considering. Some custome stuff is also available which helps you measure
and verify SLA's.

A thorough understanding of the traffic patterns of the network-under-test
is also very essential for finding out where on the network should you
employ measurement tools.

Re: Connecting a 6509 to a 3500 [7:13229]

2001-07-22 Thread Dennis Bailey

You don't need an ip address on port 2/1 on the 6509.  The ip address you
want to set on the 6509 is int sc0 which is the management interface on the
6509:

set int sc0 up
set int sc0 192.168.3.100
set ip route 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.254

(I may be slightly off on the syntax, just use the online help if I am.)

Next steps apply if you are running more than one VLAN
Set up a VTP domain
Set 2/1 on the 6509 and 0/1 on the 3500 as trunks if you are running more
than one vlan.

Keep in mind that the IP address and route on both switches is for in-band
management only and has nothing else to do with L2 switch operation

wan issues [7:13287]

2001-07-22 Thread Kissiedu, Felix

I have eight T1s going to my 7200 router at a call center. There are two
hssi interfaces (70.50.16.55 and 70.50.16.59) supporting 4T1s each. I cannot
ping one of the hssi interfaces (70.50.16.59) even though it shows up up.
I'm able to ping it when I log into the other interface (70.50.16.55) and
even able to log into the router through this interface (70.50.16.59)  from
the other one (70.50.16.55).However, once I'm logged into the interface I
still can't ping it despite the fact that it shows up up. I cannot also ping
the 70.50.16.59 hssi interface from my remote end. can anybody tell me what
might be going on here? The call center is pretty new and this has been
working for sometime. The T1s are connected to ADC kentrox boxes connected
to these hssi interfaces.
Thank you. 
Felix.

RE: Cisco Press Vs Sybex Which Way Forward ===> [7:13243]

2001-07-22 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

What makes you think Todd Lammle doesn't have the certs? I think he does. 
(except CCIE maybe.) Also, he doesn't write all the books himself. He has a 
bunch of people helping him. They take the tests numerous times to make 
sure they understand them.

They are at a disadvantage compared to Cisco Press. Cisco gives Cisco Press 
the actual course materials. But they still do a pretty good job at 
presenting easy-to-read material that will help you pass.

As far as CCDA is concerned, many authors misunderstood it. They assumed it 
was easy because of the business-oriented stuff at the beginning. It can be 
a tough test, especially for people without a lot of experience, and the 
books should be tougher too.

Re: [7:13198]

2001-07-22 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

All weekend I've been wondering about the pings over 200 bytes that don't 
work! ;-)

Have you tried anything other than ping? Does the problem happen in both 
directions or just in one? You didn't tell us anything about the machine 
you are doing the testing from. If it's a router, it's hard to try other 
applications, but not impossible. Try Telnet and use an IOS command that 
would cause a lot of output. Try TFTPing the IOS to a TFTP server. Is it a 
router that supports Web management. Does that work?

Were you just jerking our chains? There's no way we can help without more 
detail and some comments on what else you have tried. Some of the questions 
that get asked on this list are about as silly as me asking, "When I take 
Route X to the mall, I get lost. Can you tell me why?"

Sometimes, we make fun of Cisco ;-), but their troubleshooting method 
really does work. Instead of broadcasting a message without any detail, try 
the steps in their troubleshooting method (taught for the CCNP test)

define the problem
gather facts
consider possibilities
create an action plan
implement the plan
observe results

DCE definition [7:13291]

2001-07-22 Thread Christopher Supino

All,

I was reading thru the Sybex CCIE study guide this evening, when a came
across the term DCE in the context we are all familiar with( the end of a
connection that provides clocking) defined as "distributed computing
environment". Perhaps the authors should get themselves a new IT
encyclopedia, huh. Do Sybex books generally have many errors? I am
relatively unfamiliar with them as until now I have used Cisco Press books.

Cisco Press authors do not have access to the test questions/answers. Where 
did you see this advertising blurb? Can you give us a URL?

Cisco Press publishes many types of books. The ones that say "edited by" 
are the course materials ported to book format. They are usually a very 
good fit to the test.

The study guides are original work, (often by CCSIs), to help you pass the 
test. Some of these are very good also.

Then there are other books that are not certification books at all. 
Top-Down Network Design, for example, is not a certification book. For 
historical reasons (people at Cisco turned my earlier work into DCN and 
CCDA), it happens to be a good fit, which is nice, but not intentional.

Cisco Press is not part of Cisco, by the way. But they are in bed together. 
Cisco makes money (a piddling amount, I would guess), on the classes that 
are ported to book format. For the other books, the piddling royalties go 
to the author. Cisco has the right to use the materials we wrote (I wish I 
hadn't signed that contract!:-) I have been shocked to discover whole 
paragraphs that I wrote in the Cisco Networking Academy materials for 
example, with no recognition.

Regarding the actual question of Cisco Press versus Sybex: as others have 
said, it's a matter of style. Cisco Press requires an academic, detailed 
style. Humor is discouraged. Sybex is much more laid-back. If I were in a 
hurry to learn something, I might go with Sybex. It's a lot less words to 
wade through!? ;-)

Actually, I take that back. There's a style sheet that mentions fonts. It

numerous things you can do to change it, depending on the browser. One 
thing you can do is change View/Text Size to larger in Internet Explorer.

Also, the resolution of your monitor affects the results. Web developers 
can't really control what you will see. I have kept my monitor at 800 x 600 
for years due to old age. ;-) So I'm sure I don't see Web pages the same as 
anyone else.

RE: Configure Nat with BGP [7:13265]

2001-07-22 Thread Chuck Larrieu

It's the Lab mentality, Tone. You practice doing screwy things so you can
pass the lab, and you become warped in the process, and begin to believe
that doing screwy things is normal.

as an intellectual exercise, I can think of no reason why BGP wouldn't work
over GRE tunnels, but I sure as hell would not even in my worst Lab
nightmare think about trying BGP through NAT. Not even the Lab proctors
could be that sick ;->

I don't think you want to do that.  If you have the bucks for 4 internet
circuits,  you should have the bucks for a firewall or another router behind
your edge router to do the nat. I doubt that this will work.  In fact,  If
you have any asymmetric routing going on at all (packets going out one
interface and returning on a different one),  It flat out won't work.

I can foresee so many issues with this setup that I wouldn't even attempt
it.  I suppose that if you had just static mappings and tweaked the BGP just
right it might work.  But if you have a circuit failure and BGP rolls over
to another interface,  it will break the sessions.  Load balancing will be a
nightmare.  So will peering.  Maybe this could be done with loopbacks and
policy routing on the inside interface pointing at the loopbacks for the
next hop...  I don't know.  It sounds too ugly even to try.  Maybe I'm
wrong,  Anybody else ever try this ???

My humble opinion..  Get a firewall or another router.

DCE stands for, among other things
Data circuit-terminating equipment
Distributed computing environment
Dust control equipment
Department of Correctional Education
Division of Continuing Education

I will grant that only the first and second are relevant to the CCIE 
level.  But I'd be a little less certain that you

(1) have defined DCE precisely
(2) haven't excluded some significant upper layer protocols.

Incidentally, Data Circuit Termination Equipment does not necessarily 
supply clock.  It does only on synchronous interfaces.  Asynchronous 
and isochronous DCE do not provide clock, although isochronous DCE 
may enforce implicit clocking.

Even quality testing is a somewhat different skill set than

Re: IBGP [7:13304]

2001-07-22 Thread John Neiberger

This issue has nothing to do with the synchronization rule.  If you had a
third router that could inject some external routes (and hence run external
BGP) then these two routers would pass routes to each other.

With the network statement you are specifically attempting to originate
those routes.  In that case, the originating router must have an IGP route
to the prefix before it will originate the route.  Once you add the static
route, this fulfills the requirement and your prefixes are advertised.

HTH (and I hope it's correct ),

Re: Configure Nat with BGP [7:13265]

2001-07-22 Thread Tony Medeiros

Yeah, you could get simple peering to work.  But think about it,  4 uplinks.
.  If you buy 4 links you usually want to utilize them right ??
Utilizing 4 links would be anything but simple.   Even if you set it up to
use just one link at a time with failover.  When it failed,  All sessions
would be lost due to NAT state.Even though it will take BGP a little
while to converge depending on who and where you are peering.  It's still
piss poor design.

All the different load balancing scenarios that I can think of would require
some really weird stuff.  Most just won't work because of the statefullness
of NAT.  The ones I can think of that will work would require 4 routable IP
blocks living on loopback interfaces.  It's anything but simple !!

It's kinda fun to think "out of the bubble" on stuff like this.  But, as
Chuck mentioned,  I think the bubble bursts on this one !! :)

If anybody knows a simple way to utilize 4 links with this setup I sure
would love to see it.  It would be pretty cool !!

TFTP 16MB filesize limit (6500 Hybrid->NativeIOS conversion) [7:13312]

2001-07-22 Thread Michael L. Williams

Hey.  Just ran across this the other day.  Tried to convert a 6500
(using dual Sup2-MSFC2-PFC2) from Hybrid OS to the newest version 12.1(8)E
of the Supervisor (Native) IOS the image is larger than 16MB.  Imagine
my frustration as over and over I attempted to copy via TFTP and it would
get 95% or so finished then throw up a read error and quit.  I tried
multiple TFTP servers, then realized what I bonehead I'd been when I was
looking at the IOS download page and it's got a warning about files over
16MB with TFTP.  Upon investigation, Cisco has a page that talks about the
16MB limit in all IOS TFTP facilites as well as most *nix TFTP server
softwares.  Strangely enough, tho, it doesn't mention the CatOS (which
appears to have that same limitation like the IOS).  They have a "fix" for
the IOS "bug", but not the CatOS, so I was kinda stuck.

I tried to setup an RCP server on a Solaris box to copy the file but ran
into authentication issues that were not normal, and the only other option
Cisco mentions is using FTP, which isn't available from the CatOS (Hybrid)
(couldn't use the IOS on the MSFC to FTP the image because it needed to be
in bootflash on the Sup and MSFC only saw it's own bootflash).

Anyhoo the answer was to get the next oldest version of the Native IOS
12.1(5)C, which is under 16MB, perform the conversion to Native IOS, then at
that point, use the FTP functions in the Native IOS to download and upgrade
to the newest version IOS.  Geez  Another problem I happened into
was that we only had 16MB bootflash on MSFC (bootflash:) and 16MB PCMCIA
(slot0:) memory, so running 12.1(5)C in sup-bootflash: took up almost 16MB
and to download the newest IOS I had to wipe 12.1(5)C from sup-bootflash,
then download the newest one (because they both wouldn't fit in 32MB
sup-bootflash)  scary, but it worked!

Just kinda FYI..

Mike W.

BCMSN and TokenRing [7:13313]

2001-07-22 Thread Cezar Fistik

Hi,

Can someone tell me if there are any TokenRing questions on the BCMSN exam?
I haven't seen TR among exam objectives on cisco cert site, but the topic is
covered in cisco press switching book, so I'm a little confused. I must say
that I haven't never seen a TR network. What should I do now, learn this
topic anyway or maybe it's not necessary for the BCMSN exam?

Thanks,

Cezar

2001-07-22 Thread Imran Moin

Hi Cezar,

There was no TR question on the exam when i took it
last week. Dont spend a lot of time on tht. Do Vlans,
STP, Multicasting, MLS very well. I was also asked a
few design questions. So know the capabilities of
4xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx and 8xxx platforms. This was
something tht tripped me a bit. 

Good luck.
Imran.
