 No, Solution2 is correct. 
 The objective was to permit x.x.240-255.0-255 per the

 What mask would be used if you want to create an

 solution2; will permit 1-240 range and the deny statement 
 will deny the rest
 thats opposite
 
 to get a wild mask
 we put higher minus lower
 
  255.255.255.255
  255.255.240. 0
0  015   255
 
 so the router will permit 1-240 instead

Catalyst 6509 vs BlackDiamond [7:13837]

2001-07-26 Thread mishaal

How true is this?
Can anyone throw some light on this report from www.zdlabs.com, 70-80%
packet loss is rather substantial..hope it's not true!
thanks

From ZDLAbs :

 In Layer 2 mode, the Black Diamond and Alpine switches forwarded 100%
of the traffic offered during the test
without dropping a single packet. This resulted in a throughput of 57.1
million packets/second for the Black
Diamond and over 38 million packets/second for the Alpine using 64-byte
packets. These results represent
the maximum throughput possible, given the port configurations of the
switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 6509 lost over 78% of the packets offered during the
Layer 2 full mesh test at the 64-byte
packet size. According to the Catalyst 6509 documentation, the 6509
switch fabric is capable of forwarding
15 million packets/second. This rate is substantially less than the 57.1
million packets/second offered during
our test, which explains the large packet loss.

'The Black Diamond and Alpine switches successfully routed 100% of the
packets offered (over 5.7 billion
64-byte packets) during the test without dropping a single packet. This
results in a Layer 3 throughput of
over 95.2 million packets/second for the Black Diamond and over 47.6
million packets/second for the
Alpine with 64-byte packets.
The Layer 3 full mesh results for the Cisco Catalyst 6509 were very
similar to the Layer 2 results. The
switch dropped a large number of packets at all block sizes (86.86% with
64-byte packets). As in the
previous tests with Catalyst 6509 we verified that the internal switch
counters matched the results from
the SmartFlow application and that there were no packet errors during
the test.

Re: A message from the CCIE Program [7:13789]

2001-07-26 Thread Anand Ghody

Since I can't add an attachment I copy and pasted Caslow's response as
presented to me
when I e-mailed Lorne at Cisco regarding my concerns and Cisco's motivations
for
changing the lab format.



Date:  July 10, 2001

To:  Lorne Braddock, Cisco Systems
From:  Bruce Caslow, Mentor Technologies

Subject:  A Review of the New One Day CCIE Lab Examination Format


After reviewing the new one day CCIE lab examination format, I report the
following
observations:

When I was first asked to review the new one day CCIE lab examination
format, my first
reaction was that
many of the tasks that are currently in the traditional two day  CCIE lab
would be
removed from the new one day lab and as a result, the new one day lab format
would be
easier than the traditional two day lab. When I actually reviewed the new
one day CCIE
lab exam, my first presumption was affirmed however my second presumption
was not. Yes,
tasks that are in the current two day CCIE lab exam have been removed from
the proposed
one day CCIE lab exam. However, the new one day exam is not easier to pass
than the two
day exam. From the very beginning of the test, the new one day CCIE lab
forces the test
taker to immediately begin configuring a hefty load internetworking topics. 
For the
entire period of the one day test, there is a relentless pressure to
complete an
extensive list of configuration tasks.  One may ask the following questions,
What
topics are covered in the new one day CCIE lab exam format? Is the list of
topics used
to create the one day CCIE lab exam different from the list of topics used
create the
current two day exam? From an internetworking configuration requirements
perspective,
there seems to be no difference between the two day CCIE lab exam and the
one day CCIE
lab exam.  Every internetworking topic that is considered fair game in the
two day
CCIE lab might also appear in the new one day exam format. Therefore, from a
breadth of
topics to study perspective, the new one day CCIE lab exam is identical
with the two
day CCIE exam.

Quite simply, the new one day CCIE lab exam format is a rigorous single day
of
performing a series of configuration tasks on the same wide range of
internetworking
topics that are found in the current two day CCIE lab. Emphasis of the
previous sentence
must be placed on the word CONFIGURATION.  In the two day CCIE lab the
following tasks
are encountered:

Day One

1. Review examination tasks
2. Examination equipment rack cable up
3. Terminal server configuration
4. IP address planning
5. Configure of a range of internetworking technologies for the remainder of
Day One

Day Two

6. Review examination configuration tasks for Day Two (Redundant with Step
1in Day One)
7. Continue configuring a range of internetworking technologies for the
first half of
Day Two (Redundant with Step 4 in Day One)
8. Troubleshooting the second half of Day Two

The new one day CCIE lab examination format consists of the following tasks:

1. Review examination tasks
2. Configure a range of internetworking topics

When comparing the two day format with the one day format, it is obvious
that the
following tasks have been removed from the new one day CCIE lab exam:

Examination equipment rack cable up
Terminal server configuration
IP address planning
The explicit troubleshooting section

In the two day CCIE lab exam, the explicit troubleshooting section consumed
one half of
a day. Also, the two day CCIE lab exam required test takers to perform the
following
three morning of the First Day tasks:  (1) cabling up the equipment rack,
(2)
configuring the terminal server and (2) planning an IP addressing scheme.
Performing
these three morning of the First Day tasks consumed at least one hour. 
When the
explicit half day troubleshooting section as well as the three above
mentioned morning
of the First Day tasks are removed from the two day CCIE lab, what is let
is the heart
of the CCIE lab exam: approximately nine hours of rigorous CONFIGURATION
tasks. The
identical core of the current two day CCIE lab an extensive set of
configuration tasks
involving a wide range of internetworking topics-  is found in the new one
day CCIE lab.
While the two day CCIE lab provides approximately nine hours to perform a
set of
configuration tasks over a one and one half day period, the one day CCIE lab
provides
only 7.5 hours in a single day.

It appears that the formula the Cisco CCIE testing team used to create one
day CCIE lab
is the following:

1. Take the current configuration tasks used in the existing CCIE Two Day
Lab exam and
reformat them into a one day format.

2. Apply the configuration tasks mentioned in Step One above to the exact
same rack of
test equipment used in the existing two day CCIE Two Day Lab

3. Remove the follow tasks from the CCIE lab:

Examination equipment rack cable up
Terminal server configuration
IP address planning
The explicit troubleshooting section

By removing the tasks above, at least four hours of time

RE: permit ip any any [7:13686]

2001-07-26 Thread Ciaron Gogarty

Hi Tony,

remember that the direction to which you apply an access list is dependant
on the router, for example:

applying an access list IN on a router mean packets going inbound on the
interface, this is independant of what you want to deny, ie inbound snmp.
so for example to block SNMP from the internet to your network you would
create and access list denying snmp from any to any and apply it INbound on
the serial interface on the router.  To block snmp from from local lan to
the router you would apply it INbound on the ethernet interface.  So I would
hazzard a guess that you are not applying the access list in the appropriate
direction.

Where is the host you want to permit traffic to??  If it's on other end of
your serial interface than you should be applying the access list outbound
on the serial interface.  This means that any devices behind the serial
interface will be able to access ONLY that host on the specified ports.

internet---router-localLAN

-S1-router-E1 direction of traffic filtered using the outbound
statement

hope that helps

Ciaron

Hi,

It would depend on where you put the access-list.  For example if you put
this on the WAN side of your router without specifying incoming in the
access-group statement the it would surely fail.

For this access-list to work in an outgoing direction it would need to be on
the Ethernet.

My guess is that this is the issue in otherwords the access-list is facing
the wrong way when applied.

Just a thought,

  I put this on the the s1 int (run a stub network) in. However, the
  second I apply this it actually shuts these ports down, like the
  opposite of what I thought was to happen. I changed the direction of the
  ACL but it did not effect the end result.
  Do I have to use the permit ip any any  now, would that not go against
  the use of permitting only certain ports...

RE: Why can't I ping router interface? [7:13736]

2001-07-26 Thread Ciaron Gogarty

well bware,

I think you'll find that your nic card1 172.16.x.x will not route anything
to an ip address such as 172.16.64.15 because as far as that network is
concerned that is a LOCAL address. ie on a local network, it will arp for
the mac of that IP which it will never find... but won't ever route as you
only route between DIFFERENT networks.

so, to route across the two, you should change either the first or second
octet to something different.. 172.17.x.x than routing will work, or change
to a class C subnet mask.

remember that the class B mask on your 172.16.x.x network determines host
address's so any 172.16.x.x address is local address. ie 172.16.64.15
wouldn't be sent to a DG because it's a local address.

No offence bware, but I think you should do some reading on routing, as this
is quite basic.

   Subject: Problems with AIM compression on 3660/2600 [7:13742]
  
  
   Hi Guys I have just installed a 3660 and 7 2600's (the 2600's
   connected
   to the 3660with 256k WAN links via 2 quad serial cards on
  3660). ospf
   configured(all routers on area 0), I have just changed the
  compression
   from software to hardware to ultilize the AIM modules
   installed in both
   the 3660  2600's( I set up PPP Encapsulation from HDLC  on
   all routers,
   and configured compress stac caim 0 on 2600's  compress stac
   caim 0-3 on
   3660) However as soon I made the change I was receiving the
  OSPF error
   message: SPF-4-ERRRCV: Received invalid packet: Bad Checksum from
   10.100.6.1, Serial0/0
   Jul 25 03:27:15: %OSPF-4-ERRRCV: Received invalid packet:

   Jul 25 03:27:21: %OSPF-4-ERRRCV: Received invalid packet:
  Bad Checksum
   from 10.100.6.1, Serial0/0 This was happening on all the
  2600's, OSPF
   routes were being lost, on when I reverted to software
  compression the
   problem subsided. Has anyone seen this problem before.Pls let
   me know Rgrds

Re: Multiple EIGRP Processes [7:13774]

2001-07-26 Thread Phil Barker

 SNIP
 Well, in my situation, as soon as eigrp AS 2 is
implemented on B and C,
B loses all the routes advertised by C until I clear
the eigrp
neighbors.  At that point this begins to work
correctly.
 END SNIP.

I don't think you've got anything wrong here, but you
maybe just pushing EIGRP a bit to far without outside
assistance i.e Clearing the neighbor table.
Why not try taking off AS 1 first and then add AS 1
and AS 2 to Router B. Try fiddling different
combinations.
My understanding is that initially i.e before you add
AS 2 the multicast Hello packet will just contain AS 1
and when you add AS 2 to B the Hello packet should
contain 2 entries as opposed to two separate hello
packets. (If you get my meaning) !!!

Regards,

Phil.

 Routers A, B, and C are participating in EIGRP AS 1,

 routers are aware of everything except routes on the
 other side of D. 
 Then, I add EIGRP AS 2 to routers B, C, and D but
 not A.  It's my
 understanding that Router A will only be aware of
 the directly connected
 links of routers B and C, and router D will only
 know of the directly
 connected links of routers B and C.  Router A should
 not be aware of any
 link on router D except for the B--D link.
 
 Now, B has two topology tables with some duplicate
 routes learned from
 router C, or at least it should.  As soon as I turn
 on eigrp AS 2 on B
 and C, no routing information should be lost,
 correct?  If Router C is
 advertising a given subnet via eigrp AS 1 and AS 2,
 router B should
 always be aware of it no matter what, right?
 
 Well, in my situation, as soon as eigrp AS 2 is
 implemented on B and C,
 B loses all the routes advertised by C until I clear
 the eigrp
 neighbors.  At that point this begins to work
 correctly.
 
 Then, when I removed eigrp AS 2--leaving eigrp AS
 1-- on B and C, those
 routes disappear again!  As before, clearing the
 eigrp neighbors
 resolves the issue but I don't understand why this
 would be happening. 
 I believe it's a bug but I'm not sure.  There are
 some bugs related to
 routes being in the topology table that aren't being
 inserted into the
 routing table, but I don't know for certain those
 apply here.
 
 Is my thinking correct here or am I missing
 something?
 
 Thanks,
 John

MPLS over ISDN [7:13849]

2001-07-26 Thread George Stylianou

hi,

has anyone implemented ISDN backup with MPLS? If so would you mind sending
me a sample config.

I have been trying to get this working with a PRI but have not been
successful. The isdn part works fine.
If I ping across the point-to-point link (PE to CE) it works. As soon as I
bind the dialer interface to a VRF and enable CEF it does not work. If I
disable CEF I can ping across - CEF is needed though as it does the mpls
label impositioning.

Any help would be appreciated. 

thanks in advance
George

Re: A message from the CCIE Program [7:13789]

2001-07-26 Thread Anand Ghody

below is what I believe the source of this thread is about.  It looks like
some else had
also e-mailed Lorne, except Lorne sent him two reports instead of just the
one from
Caslow as was done for me.  Below is Mr. Remakers remarks.


Mr. Phil Remaker is one of the first people to achieve CCIE certification
and in 1995
Mr. Remaker was
 featured in a Wall Street Journal article focusing on

 the technical genius behind the exploding Internet.   Mr.
Remaker is

 employed

 by Cisco Systems as a technical advisor.   His reaction to
the improved

 CCIE

 lab exam were:





 Well, first of all, to end the suspense, I failed the lab
with a score
of 34/100.  This is not
 unexpected, since I didn't study and have never worked much
with the
Catalyst switches.  And taking a few
 years off the day-to-day hands-on work really rusts your
skills.  So
the good news is that the test is not
 easy.



 It is also not impossibly hard.  It is full of nuance and
interdependency, and has some very good
 exercises in interfacing to external networks (IPX, BGP,
frame-relay)
and administrative issues
 (filtering, redistribution, port security).  Stuff you do
in one
section affects others, yet it is not so
 interwoven that you cannot skip around and focus on ones
strengths.
Also, by dropping the mundane basic
 config stuff, more time is focused on the things that
really test your
skills, not your ability to type in
 tedoius information (people that fail to type in the
tedious info will
probably also fail the lab).
I had the luxury of reviewing the exam question by question with feedback
from Jeff and
Howard, and I gave
 some feedback on how the questions might be clearer of how
the
scenarios might be tweaked.  But on the
 whole, the exam as it stands was very good, testing time
management,
documentation reading, and network
 configuration skills.



 I did miss having the wiring just a little, but I think
that modern
networks are much more virtualized and
 that wiring is less relevant in complex networks as
everything gets
VLANned.  The ability to find a wiring
 problem is still a serious skill, and I suggested that
maybe one of the
prewired networks be wired on the
 wrong port and force people to find it 8-).



 The lack of partial credit killed me, too.  I got SO CLOSE
on so many
of the questions!  But I agree with
 the policy, since subjectivity could kill the exam
credibility.  You
might want to emphasize to candidates
 (maybe you already do) that there is no partial credit.



 Another measure of a good exam is Did I learn something
from taking
the exam? The answer here is YES!  I
 learned about ISL and ATM (which I had never used before,
only read
about) and a little about
 route-tagging and distribution lists that I had not
previously known. I
even learned about some Cisco
 capabilities that I didn't know existed (port security).



 I am a believer in the one-day lab.  Anyone CCIE that
thinks it
cheapens the CCIE should come in and try
 to pass it.  We should invite the anti-one-day activists to
come in and
take the test for free ONCE so
 they can give us feedback.  I think the test hits the mark.



 Thanks for inviting me in to try the exam.  And thanks to
Jeff and

 Howard for their overtime to accommodate my San Jose
schedule.  Kudos
to the exam authors.

 The CCIE program team at Cisco Systems, Inc. recently announced a

 this study group alias.  I personally do not belong to the alias but one
 particular message was brought to my attention because it was not only
 inaccurate, it was potentially damaging.  Someone posted what they
 represented as being valid test score results achieved by Phil Remaker
 and Bruce Caslow during their voluntary review of the our new CCIE lab

To: 'suleman ibrahim aboo'
Subject: RE: classless routing [7:13847]


It will take the default route for the following reason:

first of all I assume that you are running a classfull protocol such as RIP
or IGRP.

When running a classfull protocol  subnetting a major class network as
below( 10.6.0.0 is a subnet of 10.0.0.0) etc, the contigous rule states that
all subnets will be using the same mask and must be contigous, therefor the
router assumes that it knows about all subnets.
When the packet arrives for 10.7.0.0/16 it will do a classfull lookup on the
subnet information it know's about ie. the first two octets, it will not
find a route and drop the packet. For a classfull protocol with no ip
classless the default route will only be used for different major class
networks eg. a packet for 11.7.0.1 would hit the default route.

however this changes when ip classless is turned on ( on by default).IP
classless will over ride the contigous rule and make the router look for the
longest match. Therefor in answer to you question the packet for 10.7.0.0/16
will hit the default route when IP classless is on but will be dropped if no
ip classless is configured.

NB. This is easily tested if you have two routers available.

I hope this helps  Chris.B

Re: VLAN routing [7:13465]

2001-07-26 Thread Peter Van Oene

Ok, one more round of nit picky comments and I'll quit :)

 
  Do I need a router between my VLANs?

If you want the VLANs to communicate with each other. Are these trick 
questions? ;-) I realize there are cases where you don't want them to 
communicate. I guess that is what you are getting at.


If you want VLANs to share the same broadcast domain, you bridge them.
Telling people they need a router between them makes people think that
VLANs have some magical layer three capabilities which leads to the
above question.  Do people ever ask if you need a router between your
layer 2 broadcast domains?  No.  Because it used to be obvious.  If you
want to route, you need a router.  VLANs and the similarly misunderstood
Layer 3 switch haven't changed that caveat.  

  Do I need an IP address on my VLANs?

Some sort of network-layer addressing is required for end stations to 
communicate using typical applications. There are some cases where 
network-layer addressing is not used, of course, but that sort of 
communication is being phased out.

Again, if you want to route layer three protocols, you use a router.  In
multiprotocol networks, such as those tested on the CCIE exam, it is
often necessary to support a mix of protocols, some of which need to be
routed across broadcast domains while others are bridged.  Understanding
this is much easier when you don't believe in the tooth fairy.  


  Can I route between VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 with just a switch?

No, not a Layer 2 switch.

Bad question :)  You can certainly bridge two VLANs, essentially
creating one.  I should have said connect vs route.  The point is to
illustrate the difference between layer two broadcast domains and
routing, thus reinforcing the point that if you want to route, you use a
router.  There are no exceptions to this rule.

  Can I have multiple subnets on the same VLAN?

Yes, but they won't communicate without a router. A station trying to 
communicate with a station in a different subnet ARPs for its default 
gateway. Sure there are exceptions with strangely behaving IP stacks
and 
errors with subnet mask configurations, etc., but let's consider the 
typical case.

This is my point.  To route, you need a router.  VLANs haven't changed
this whatsoever.

I simply find that too  many people misunderstand the VLAN concept
simply because vendor marketing has confused the issue and numerous
pieces of literature make the layer 3 to VLAN binding without properly
developing the difference.

Nit picky I know, but its a pet peeve.

Pete

RE: classless routing [7:13847]

2001-07-26 Thread Ole Drews Jensen

The /16 means that the network in the address given are the first 16 bits,
or in other words the first two octets. Therefore:

  10.5.0.0/16 gives network 10.5
  10.6.0.0/16 gives network 10.6
  10.7.0.0/16 gives network 10.7

Since there are no table entries for network 10.7, it will use the default
route.

Re: 640-509 [7:13815]

2001-07-26 Thread Raul De La Garza

Hi,

While I am bound by the Agreement to Cisco not to divulge any answers to 
the questions you have concerning the Foundation 2.0, I can tell you that it 
was the most grueling examination I have ever been administered, rivalling 
only a few of my undergraduate examinations.  I took the exam yesterday and 
was elated when it was over.  It seemed like a couple of hours from the time 
I started until the time I was done.  I passed but only as through fire.  I 
don't mean to scare you, however, understand that this test is not for the 
faint of heart or for the impatient!  I commend you on your attempt to pass 
this exam and encourage you to do so.  Believe me, if I can pass this test 
then most anyone can.

Do know your Routing, Switching, and Remote Access like the back of your 
hand and you should have no problems responding to the questions.  My 
problem was that I was a bit shaky with regards to my knowledge on Routing 
which contributed to my anxiety and resultant score.  I still passed, but, 
like I already mentioned, only as through fire.  Know the material from the 
Cisco Press books and be able to crunch numbers, configure equipment, and 
make logical recommendations as to hardware.  Apart from the CCIE written, 
this test is probably the summation of all Cisco Networking (sans CIT).

One tip.  Stay far away from the Boson Foundation 2.0 Practice Exam #1.  It 
was a complete waste of my hard-earned money.  It did not prepare me for 
this exam one iota.

In Christ,

Raul De La Garza III

Re: VLAN routing [7:13465]

2001-07-26 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

Ok, one more round of nit picky comments and I'll quit :)

  
   Do I need a router between my VLANs?

If you want the VLANs to communicate with each other. Are these trick
questions? ;-) I realize there are cases where you don't want them to
communicate. I guess that is what you are getting at.


If you want VLANs to share the same broadcast domain, you bridge them.

Which can be dangerous from a scaling standpoint, unless all the 
bridged parts are under common administration.  One of the reasons to 
have reasonable size broadcast domains is to limit broadcast loads on 
hosts; it is NOT a bandwidth problem.  It is a broadcast problem 
whether the network is IP, IPX, NetBEUI, etc.

I find a lot of optical people getting confused and recommending 
layer 2 VPNs because they think that interconnecting (i.e., bridging) 
will magically work because they use full OC-192 lambdas between 
them.  That has nothing to do with the core problem.

Telling people they need a router between them makes people think that
VLANs have some magical layer three capabilities which leads to the
above question.  Do people ever ask if you need a router between your
layer 2 broadcast domains?  No.  Because it used to be obvious.  If you
want to route, you need a router.  VLANs and the similarly misunderstood
Layer 3 switch haven't changed that caveat. 

   Do I need an IP address on my VLANs?

Some sort of network-layer addressing is required for end stations to
communicate using typical applications. There are some cases where
network-layer addressing is not used, of course, but that sort of
communication is being phased out.

Again, if you want to route layer three protocols, you use a router.  In
multiprotocol networks, such as those tested on the CCIE exam, it is
often necessary to support a mix of protocols, some of which need to be
routed across broadcast domains while others are bridged.  Understanding
this is much easier when you don't believe in the tooth fairy.

Ah, but if you have the tooth fairy as the administrator of an L3 switch...
Mind you, I consider L3 switches and tooth fairies about the same. 
If it makes L3 decisions, it's a router.  It may be a router with 
hardware distributed forwarding, or it may be a router with a single 
processor for control and forwarding. It's still a router.



   Can I route between VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 with just a switch?

No, not a Layer 2 switch.

Bad question :)  You can certainly bridge two VLANs, essentially
creating one.  I should have said connect vs route.  The point is to
illustrate the difference between layer two broadcast domains and
routing, thus reinforcing the point that if you want to route, you use a
router.  There are no exceptions to this rule.

And the question often is, what problem are you trying to solve by 
routing between VLANs?  There certainly are reasons, in a campus 
environment, to bridge between VLANs with a L2 switch, such as the 
VLAN users in one or more buildings and the servers for that VLAN in 
a separate central computer room.


   Can I have multiple subnets on the same VLAN?

Yes, but they won't communicate without a router. A station trying to
communicate with a station in a different subnet ARPs for its default
gateway. Sure there are exceptions with strangely behaving IP stacks
and
errors with subnet mask configurations, etc., but let's consider the
typical case.

This is my point.  To route, you need a router.  VLANs haven't changed
this whatsoever.

I simply find that too  many people misunderstand the VLAN concept
simply because vendor marketing has confused the issue and numerous
pieces of literature make the layer 3 to VLAN binding without properly
developing the difference.

Nit picky I know, but its a pet peeve.

Pete

I personally regard VLANs, first and foremost, as a means of 
multiplexing a LAN.

RE: access list.. [7:13564]

2001-07-26 Thread Ole Drews Jensen

Farhan,

You need to understand how this works, and the best thing to do is to grap a
pen and a paper and write down the addresses, first in decimal, and then in
binary. Let's try...

The numbers you wish to block here are 224 thru 239:

224 : 1110 
225 : 1110 0001
226 : 1110 0010
227 : 1110 0011
228 : 1110 0100
229 : 1110 0101
230 : 1110 0110
231 : 1110 0111
232 : 1110 1000
233 : 1110 1001
234 : 1110 1010
235 : 1110 1011
236 : 1110 1100
237 : 1110 1101
238 : 1110 1110
239 : 1110 

As you can see, this is an easy range, since the first four bits are the
same in the entire range, and the last four bits change from  to .

Since the first four bits are the same in the entire range, you can CARE
about them, and NOT CARE about the last four bits. Therefore, the address
must be 1110 , or 224 in decimal, and the wildcard mask must be 
, or 15 in decimal. Remember, in the wildcard mask 0 CARES and 1 DON'T.

You can test this now with any of the values written in decimal and binary
above. Let's take 233 for example.

233 : 1110 1001 (the address trying to get through)
224 : 1110  (the deny address)
15  :   (the deny wildcard)

Since the last four bits of the wildcard are 1's, you can ignore them, and
only concentrate on the 0's, because they are the ones that must match. The
0's represent the first four bits of the address, and as you can see,
address 233 will be stopped by the 224, because the first four bits are the
same in those two values.

Try to write this down on a paper, and try all kind of different addresses
to see what will be permitted, and what will be denied.

The access-list answer to this will be:

ip access-list 1 deny A.B.235.224 0.0.0.15
ip access-list 1 permit any

which is also what TAC told you.

You need to understand this!

Hth,

Ole

IP Extended Access Lists
Question: I tried to compile an access list which will only allow a certain
IP range access to the proxy server in a subnet. What wild card can I use to
accomplish this task? 

IP info:  subnet (class b) A.B.235.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.  The
proxy 

server''s address is A.B.119.100.  The address range I want to block the
access 

to the proxy is A.B.235.224 to A.B.235.239. I know 255.255.255.230 will give
me

the address range, but just couldn''t figure out the wild card for that.  

Answer: 

255.255.255.240 will give you the address range for that. To turn this

into an access list mask, just invert the bits in the normal subnet mask.

For example, 255.255.255.240 = ...

In the access list mask, this will be: ....

So, the equivalent access list mask in decimal format will be: 0.0.0.15.

Within your access list, to cover this range, you will deny:

A.B.235.224 0.0.0.15

RE: question on ipunumbered [7:13846]

2001-07-26 Thread Chuck Larrieu

IP unnumbered is a technique used to conserve IP address space. I believe it
is discussed in RFC 1812 in terms of a possible mechanism that would permit
IP unnumbered. I.e. router RID's can serve as a means of identifying the
devices on either end of serial links and point-to-point subinterfaces of
frame links.

Seeing as OSPF and EIGRP and RIPv2 all work properly over unnumbered links,
I would venture a guess that it makes no difference to the routing protocol.
the links themselves will not appear in any routing tables, whereas if they
were numbered they would.

Re: Catalyst 6509 vs BlackDiamond [7:13837]

2001-07-26 Thread Peter Van Oene

I've heard similar in the past.  However, keep in mind that very few
enterprise networks will ever generate traffic at that level.  I've never
seen any network even turn on the utilization lights on the C6k or C5k for
that matter.  Too often people weight sheer throughput higher than other
enterprise sensitive items including vendor support/protocol
support/compatibility/stability etc.

Can anyone throw some light on this report from www.zdlabs.com, 70-80%

From ZDLAbs :

 In Layer 2 mode, the Black Diamond and Alpine switches forwarded 100%
of the traffic offered during the test
without dropping a single packet. This resulted in a throughput of 57.1
million packets/second for the Black
Diamond and over 38 million packets/second for the Alpine using 64-byte
packets. These results represent
the maximum throughput possible, given the port configurations of the
switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 6509 lost over 78% of the packets offered during the
Layer 2 full mesh test at the 64-byte
packet size. According to the Catalyst 6509 documentation, the 6509
switch fabric is capable of forwarding
15 million packets/second. This rate is substantially less than the 57.1
million packets/second offered during
our test, which explains the large packet loss.

'The Black Diamond and Alpine switches successfully routed 100% of the
packets offered (over 5.7 billion
64-byte packets) during the test without dropping a single packet. This
results in a Layer 3 throughput of
over 95.2 million packets/second for the Black Diamond and over 47.6
million packets/second for the
Alpine with 64-byte packets.
The Layer 3 full mesh results for the Cisco Catalyst 6509 were very
similar to the Layer 2 results. The
switch dropped a large number of packets at all block sizes (86.86% with
64-byte packets). As in the
previous tests with Catalyst 6509 we verified that the internal switch
counters matched the results from
the SmartFlow application and that there were no packet errors during
the test.

A PING - Connectivity Issue [7:13873]

Guys,

I was putting a lab together and noticed something wierd.  I configured my 
Sparc (Unix) station's Le0 interface with an IP address, brought it up and 
decided to play around with it a little.  I noticed that I could ping the IP 
that I configured on the interface although it was disconnected from/plugged 
OUT of the hub.  I asked one of the Unix guys at my job if this was strange 
and he said NO!  He could not tell me why but only said that it will always 
be able to ping the IP address configured on the box despite the fact that 
it is not connected to a Hub.

What I need to know guys is WHY.  I am not just satisfied with the fact that 
it is suppose happen unless I can know WHY it happen.  Any takers here?  
Thanks dude.

Good points.  I should certainly clarify that I don't advocate bridging

RE: Problems with AIM compression on 3660/2600 [7:13742]

2001-07-26 Thread Bob Johnson

Check out bug id# CSCdm69595
There are several others but they don't show up on CCO (Cisco keeps some
bugs private)
Essentially hw compression mungs up multicast data on 2600/3600 serial
interfaces. They say it was fixed in latter releases of 12.07 so you may
want to try one of the 12.1 images...
A few other multicast issues I've learned the hard way...

Early versions of the 2621 router will not pass multicast traffic through
the on board ethernet interfaces (Bug ID CSCdm38511 ) Only fix is a router
swap. My office looked like a warehouse for a while we were shipping so many
2621s back to Cisco

Multicast fast switching (ip mroute-cache) doesn not yet work with hardware
compression (Bug ID CSCdt82560) This has not been fixed as of 12.2x. So if
you are tring to save CPU by hardware compressing the multicast data you
lose CPU by not being able to fast switch.

I recall at least one 30 hour marathon with TAC hopping from various TAC
centers worldwide. As far as I recall the 2621 hardware issue was already
known at Cisco but the problem with hardware compression (both the munging
of data and the fast switching issue) were only discovered when a customer
(unfortunately me) tried to do it.

but with regards to the results - hey, if a device is receiving far more

How true is this?
Can anyone throw some light on this report from www.zdlabs.com, 70-80%
packet loss is rather substantial..hope it's not true!
thanks

From ZDLAbs :

 In Layer 2 mode, the Black Diamond and Alpine switches forwarded 100%
of the traffic offered during the test
without dropping a single packet. This resulted in a throughput of 57.1
million packets/second for the Black
Diamond and over 38 million packets/second for the Alpine using 64-byte
packets. These results represent
the maximum throughput possible, given the port configurations of the
switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 6509 lost over 78% of the packets offered during the
Layer 2 full mesh test at the 64-byte
packet size. According to the Catalyst 6509 documentation, the 6509
switch fabric is capable of forwarding
15 million packets/second. This rate is substantially less than the 57.1
million packets/second offered during
our test, which explains the large packet loss.

'The Black Diamond and Alpine switches successfully routed 100% of the
packets offered (over 5.7 billion
64-byte packets) during the test without dropping a single packet. This
results in a Layer 3 throughput of
over 95.2 million packets/second for the Black Diamond and over 47.6
million packets/second for the
Alpine with 64-byte packets.
The Layer 3 full mesh results for the Cisco Catalyst 6509 were very
similar to the Layer 2 results. The
switch dropped a large number of packets at all block sizes (86.86% with
64-byte packets). As in the
previous tests with Catalyst 6509 we verified that the internal switch
counters matched the results from
the SmartFlow application and that there were no packet errors during
the test.

Re: BGP Bandwidth [7:13817]

2001-07-26 Thread John Neiberger

This is entirely up to you since you'll be doing the configuration.  If
you choose to configure the ATT link as backup only, then you'll only
have 3MB available.  Do you already have at least a full /24 prefix
assigned to you?  Do you have your own ASN?

If so, then if you have a hefty enough router, accept customer-only
routes from all three links and let the router choose the best link. 
Since you'll have two links to Qwest, this will require more thought
since the AS Path will be the same.  You'll have to consider using other
attributes to make your routing decisions.

If you really have a beefy router you could accept full routes from all
three locations.  Again, having two links to Qwest makes intelligent
routing more difficult.  In this situation, here's how I would do it:

1. Accept customer only routes from ATT
2. Accept at least the default from the two Qwest links, possibly
customer-only routes
3. Let the router make the best decision between either an ATT exit or
a Qwest exit.
4. For prefixes that are closer through Qwest, do per-destination
load-sharing on the Qwest links.

To make this simpler, basically if your router learns a route from the
ATT link it will always use that link for that prefix.  If it doesn't
have an explicit route then load-share over the Qwest links.

But, that's how I would do it.  You should get some other opinions and
then compare them with your goals to figure out what's best for you.

HTH,
John

 Jeongwoo Park  7/25/01 5:24:42 PM 
Hi all
I am trying to implement BGP.
I used to have 2T1 lines going straight to Qwest (isp). Now I want to
install another T1 line going to ATT (isp) as a back-up line.
Now my question is what bandwidth will I have?
Will I have 4.5M bandwidth (2xT1 + T1) together? or Will I have only
3M
bandwidth (2xT1) from Qwest because T1 going to ATT is used as a
back-up?
It would be better if I could use extra T1 not only as a back up but
also as
an additional bandwidth.

Your input will be appreciated.

Re: BGP prefix compiling [7:13828]

2001-07-26 Thread John Neiberger

I'm going to take a shot at this.  Before I continue I'll share
something that wasn't obvious to me when I first looked at prefix lists
and wasn't mentioned in the IRA book.  It was mentioned
elsewhere--CertificationZone, I think--and this helped me out a lot.

This is embarrassing to admit, but I didn't notice that ge and le
stood for greater than or equal to and less than or equal to.  I was
used to seeing = and it just didn't occur to me.  From previous
programming experience a long time ago I should have noticed this, but I
had a brain cloud.

Anyway, this makes this much easier to remember how this works.  Let's
use your last example:

Example : ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 ge 8

This will match any prefix that begins with 172.16 and has a mask
greater than or equal to 255.0.0.0.  Let's modify your example a bit:

  ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 le 24

This will match any prefix that begins with 172.16 and has a mask
between 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0, or anything between a /16 and /24
inclusive.  Let's say you wanted to deny prefixes longer than /24:

 ip prefix-list elvira deny 172.16.0.0/16 ge 25

This will match any prefix that begins with 172.16 but has a mask of
/25 or longer.

Does that make sense?  I hope I have that right!  ;-)

Regards,
John

 Ole Drews Jensen  7/25/01 8:33:13 PM 
This is to (hopefully) confirm that my understanding of the examples in
the
BSCN book and the IRA 2nd. ed. book are correct.

If the formel looks like this:

ip prefix-list elvis permit a.b.c.d/n

It will be compiled like this:

  1)if neither ge nor le are added, only the excact prefix (n)
is
allowed.

  2)if only ge x is added, n is ignored and an invinsible le of 32
are
added so 
prefix x thru 32 are permitted.

  3)if only le y is added, prefix n thru y are permitted.

  4)if both ge x and le y are added, n is ignored and prefix x
thru
y are permitted.

This is to all you BGP experts out there - please comment with true or
false
on the 4 statements above, and add any comments or corrections if
necessary.

One last question, can the ge value be lower than the /n value?

and would that allow only the prefix 172.16.0.0/8 ?

Re: Calculating Collision % [7:13824]

2001-07-26 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer

The single collision count indicates the number of frames that were 
transmitted after a single collision. The multiple collision count 
indicates the number of frames that were transmitted after multiple 
collisions. The late collision count indicates the number of frames that 
experienced a collision after 512 bits had been sent. The excessive 
collisions count indicates the number of frames that were not transmitted 
because 16 collisions occurred.

If excessive collisions are happening, I wouldn't worry to much about 
formulae and statistics. I'd get out there and troubleshoot the problem. 
They shouldn't occur. Could you have a duplex mismatch?

Late collisions shouldn't happen either. They could mean a duplex mismatch 
also.

The percent of frames that encountered a collision when transmitted versus 
all frames transmitted is:

Single + multiple + late + excessive/ all frames transmitted x 100.

See more pithy comments below...

At 09:38 PM 7/25/01, Mike Fears wrote:
Group, What is the best way to calculate collision %
on a 10BaseT ethernet port on a Catalyst 5000/5500?

Now, I have my own formula, and it is what I came up
with after looking at CCO for the way a Catalyst 5000
counts collisions. According to Cisco, it appears
that:

a single collision is only 1 collision (does this
include the multi and excessive collisions?)

A frame fits into only one category. It either experienced 1 collision, 
multiple (2-15), a late one, or 16 and wasn't transmitted.


a multiple collision is when the same transmitted
frame encounters more than one collision (So, if a
frame encounters 2 or more (Or is it 2-15?)collisions
it will increment the counter up by 1.

If it encounters more than one collision it goes in the multiple category, 
but it doesn't go into the category more than once.

and excessive collisions are collisions of more than
16 in a row with the same tx frame.

Same as what? Excessive collisions mean there were 16 tries and then the 
sender gave up.


So, is it as simple as using the total tx frames
(uni,multi,broadcasts) / single collisions x100?

That would be backwards for a percent of collisions compared to good frames 
transmitted, wouldn't it??


Or do you have to do something like what I came up
with, which is

single collisions + (multi collisions X 3) + excessive
collisions X 16) + Late Collisions / Total tx frames X
100

Multiple collisions are somewhere from 2-15 and 3
was chosen as a guess on ports with no excessive
collisions.

If you're looking for a reasonably exact formula, you shouldn't throw 
guesses in there?? ;-) You don't need the 3. You don't need the 16 either.

Most of the ports (about 200) that
encountered multiple collisions did not detect any
excessive collisions. Only about 30 saw both. On
those, I chose 5. The good news is that I have

Once again, I don't know about this choosing of numbers to throw into the 
formula. No ports should see excessive collisions. Excessive collisions are 
abnormal. I would look into those if I were you.

This information is what I have gathered from reading and testing. I'm 99% 
sure of its accuracy. ;-) Seriously, for questions like this, you would 
have to look at the source code to be 100% sure. And, of course, there 
could be differences with hardware and software versions. TAC also does a 
good job describing how things work. See if there's a TAC page on this topic.

I don't see why that wouldn't work.  As I mentioned previously, it will
match all prefixes that begin with exactly 172.16 but have a mask of /8
or greater.  There are other ways to accomplish the same thing that make
more sense, but at the moment this logic seems valid.  Although, I
suppose it doesn't really make any sense to write it like that since it
accomplishes the same thing as 

ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 le 32

This would match the same prefixes and makes much more sense.

This is to (hopefully) confirm that my understanding of the examples
in
the
BSCN book and the IRA 2nd. ed. book are correct.

If the formel looks like this:

ip prefix-list elvis permit a.b.c.d/n

It will be compiled like this:

  1)if neither ge nor le are added, only the excact prefix (n)
is
allowed.

  2)if only ge x is added, n is ignored and an invinsible le of
32
are
added so 
prefix x thru 32 are permitted.

  3)if only le y is added, prefix n thru y are permitted.

  4)if both ge x and le y are added, n is ignored and prefix x
thru
y are permitted.

This is to all you BGP experts out there - please comment with true or
false
on the 4 statements above, and add any comments or corrections if
necessary.

One last question, can the ge value be lower than the /n value?

Example : ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 ge 8

and would that allow only the prefix 172.16.0.0/8 ?

I thank you in advance,

Okay, now you're confusing me John.

If we take ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 le 32 wouldn't that
permit /16 thru /32, whereas ip prefix-list elvire permit 172.16.0.0/16 ge
8 would permit /8 thru /32?

But, I guess the error message you included was for the /16 ge 8, which kind
of ends this discussion :-)

I don't see why that wouldn't work.  As I mentioned previously, it will
match all prefixes that begin with exactly 172.16 but have a mask of /8
or greater.  There are other ways to accomplish the same thing that make
more sense, but at the moment this logic seems valid.  Although, I
suppose it doesn't really make any sense to write it like that since it
accomplishes the same thing as 

ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 le 32

This would match the same prefixes and makes much more sense.

  ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 le 24

This will match any prefix that begins with 172.16 and has a mask
between 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0, or anything between a /16 and
/24
inclusive.  Let's say you wanted to deny prefixes longer than /24:

The major thing here is that the BD is FAR cheaper and out performs

We just left Extreme for Cisco only because of Politics I as an engineer
love extreme and think they have far superior products!

Without knowing anything about extremware, I configured a BD in 10 minutes.
This config even knowing cisco's products took me 30 minutes just because of
simple mistakes one might make just because you forgot to switch interfaces
or you just switched to the wrong one by accident.

Their command line interface is just as sweet as it gets.  I have never seen

How true is this?
Can anyone throw some light on this report from www.zdlabs.com, 70-80%
packet loss is rather substantial..hope it's not true!
thanks

From ZDLAbs :

 In Layer 2 mode, the Black Diamond and Alpine switches forwarded 100%
of the traffic offered during the test
without dropping a single packet. This resulted in a throughput of 57.1
million packets/second for the Black
Diamond and over 38 million packets/second for the Alpine using 64-byte
packets. These results represent
the maximum throughput possible, given the port configurations of the
switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 6509 lost over 78% of the packets offered during the
Layer 2 full mesh test at the 64-byte
packet size. According to the Catalyst 6509 documentation, the 6509
switch fabric is capable of forwarding
15 million packets/second. This rate is substantially less than the 57.1
million packets/second offered during
our test, which explains the large packet loss.

'The Black Diamond and Alpine switches successfully routed 100% of the
packets offered (over 5.7 billion
64-byte packets) during the test without dropping a single packet. This
results in a Layer 3 throughput of
over 95.2 million packets/second for the Black Diamond and over 47.6
million packets/second for the
Alpine with 64-byte packets.
The Layer 3 full mesh results for the Cisco Catalyst 6509 were very
similar to the Layer 2 results. The
switch dropped a large number of packets at all block sizes (86.86% with
64-byte packets). As in the
previous tests with Catalyst 6509 we verified that the internal switch
counters matched the results from
the SmartFlow application and that there were no packet errors during
the test.

RE: BGP prefix compiling [7:13828]

2001-07-26 Thread John Neiberger

Exactly!  ;-)

Since a prefix must start with at least 172.16.0.0/16, it doesn't make
sense to use ge 8.  The mask must be at least /16 to match
172.16.0.0/16, hence the error.

As you can see from the error, the ge value must be greater than the
mask you specify in the first portion of the statement.  In this case,
any ge value must be greater than 16.  Hmm...I just looked at my post
and it appears that the error message was truncated somehow.  

It went on to say that len must be less than the ge-value, which must
be less than or equal to the le-value.  I won't paste in the exact error
since it will probably be truncated again.

Given that prerequisite, you'd have to restate your example like this:

ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/8 ge 9

However, I just tried this and it was changed to:

ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.0.0.0/8 ge 9

I suppose the logic of this is becoming quite strained, since it's not
apparent what we're trying to accomplish.If the goal is to permit
172.16.0.0 and any subnet but *not* allow any other 172.0.0.0/8, then we
could do this:

ip prefix-list elvira permit 172.16.0.0/16 le 32
ip prefix-list elvira deny 172.0.0.0/8 le 32

It always helps to know what we're trying to do before we try to do it.

RE: ccna challenge question [7:13565]

2001-07-26 Thread Leigh Anne Chisholm

I didn't say that RIP can advertise nonclassful subnets.  I only said that
variable-length subnet masking is not
supported by RIP.  And it doesn't.

What I did say was that (because RIP doesn't advertise a subnet mask), when
a router receives a routing update for a network that is not configured on
one of the router's interfaces, it applies the classful subnet mask.  When a
router receives a routing update about a subnet that is part of the same
classful network configured on one of the router's interfaces, the router
applies the mask as configured on the directly configured interface to the
received network route.

For example, RouterA has its E0 interface is part of the 37.1.1.32/29
network.  When it receives information about network 37.1.1.48 (which does
not contain a mask in the routing update), it applies the /29 mask.

Subject: RE: ccna challenge question [7:13565]


one final belaborment of the point. ( where is Bob Vance, whose thoroughness
would be quite welcome here? )

observe the following from a lab setup. all interfaces in the pod are /29
subnets of the 37.0.0.0 network. note the RIP routes that are in the routing
table. auto summarization is turned off, but even with it turned on, there
is no effect on the routes advertised. other vendors may have different ways
of doing it.

How is it that RIP, a classful protocol, can advertise non classful subnets?

Gateway of last resort is 37.1.1.26 to network 0.0.0.0

C171.171.0.0/16 is directly connected, Loopback0
 37.0.0.0/29 is subnetted, 7 subnets
R   37.1.1.32 [120/1] via 37.1.1.26, 00:00:10, Serial0
R   37.1.1.40 [120/1] via 37.1.1.26, 00:00:10, Serial0
R   37.1.1.48 [120/2] via 37.1.1.26, 00:00:10, Serial0
R   37.1.1.0 [120/3] via 37.1.1.26, 00:00:10, Serial0
R   37.1.1.8 [120/2] via 37.1.1.26, 00:00:10, Serial0
C   37.1.1.16 is directly connected, Ethernet0
C   37.1.1.24 is directly connected, Serial0
R*   0.0.0.0/0 [120/3] via 37.1.1.26, 00:00:10, Serial0

the answer is that classfulness really has nothing to do with routing
protocol behaviour, unless certain circumstances dictate. when everyone
agrees on a prefix length, i.e. when all interfaces in the RIP domain have
the same mask, all the proper routes are advertised.

remember that the RIP packet contains fields for advertised networks. each
field is 32 bits in length. there is no subnet mask information. it matters
not one iota to RIP what the advertised networks are. 37.0.0.0 fits into the
field as does 37.1.1.16 etc.

BTW, the directed broadcast addresses of each of the subnets in the table
are respectively 37.1.1.7, .15, .23, .31, .39, .47, and .55  classful
protocol or not, this is the way it works.

sorry to be so obsessive about this, but a thorough understanding of
protocol behaviour can be helpful in many circumstances. for example, I have
a problem I am working on with a customer that revolves around RIP
behaviour. I'm not going to convince them to migrate to OSPF, or even RIPv2
as a fix. I have to live within their existing constraints. My ability to
understand how RIP really works allows me to create a design that serves the
customer needs.

good learning to all

reach an end-host configured as part of that subnet (for example, a
user-initiated ping sent to 172.18.3.255 trying to illicit a response from
all end-systems on the 172.18.2.0 /22 subnet).  If RouterB does not have an
interface directly connected to the 172.18.0.0 network, yes it will see
network 172.18.2.0 as 172.18.0.0 and to it it will think the directed
broadcast is 172.18.255.255 but why would RouterB need to GENERATE a
directed broadcast to this network?  RouterB is likely to only RECEIVE a
directed broadcast sent to 172.18.3.255 and won't CARE about the IP address
of that packet.  It takes the packet and forwards it to the 172.18.0.0
network.

As a side note, if RouterB DOES have an interface that is part of the
172.18.0.0 network, that interface must be configured with the same subnet
mask as the 172.18.2.0 network as variable-length subnet masking is not
supported by RIP.  In other words, the subnet mask used in conjunction with
any subnet from the 172.18.0.0 network must be configured with the subnet
mask 255.255.252.0.  Then RouterB would know that 172.18.3.255 is the
directed broadcast address.

Re: VLAN routing [7:13465]

2001-07-26 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

Good points.  I should certainly clarify that I don't advocate bridging
between VLANs unless it makes sense to do so which is usually a corner
case.  I also fully support properly scoping broadcast domains and using a
one vlan to one subnet methodology for cleanliness.  I love simple
networks.  I just wanted to hammer on the distinction a little bit.
Hopefully the tooth fairy got laid off during the  tech slowdown and we
can go back to basic bridging and routing.

Pete


Indirectly, you bring out some of the bad habits that Cisco 
certification engenders. Tony Li (principal BGP architect at Cisco, 
Juniper, and Procket, and coauthor of the standard) certainly helped 
me mature as a routing designer when he pointed out that one of the 
signs he used to recognize a clueful design is the significant extent 
that APPROPRIATE static routes were present.  Yet the lab forbids 
static routes under most circumstances.

Like you, Pete, I like to keep configurations understandable. Yet 
ACRC (and presumably its successors) used to emphasize weird OSPF 
network statements that could match the most interfaces with the 
least network statements. I find this very error-prone, as I do 
people that try to minimize the number of lines in an access list 
unless they have a demonstrated performance problem.

Returning to the VLAN issue, there's often insufficient attention 
paid to the alternative of VLAN-aware NICs versus routers versus 
servers with multiple interfaces.  But, with any of the non-routing 
solutions -- be sure you can figure out a way to ping from your 
management station.

Ok, one more round of nit picky comments and I'll quit :)

   
Do I need a router between my VLANs?

If you want the VLANs to communicate with each other. Are these trick
questions? ;-) I realize there are cases where you don't want them to
communicate. I guess that is what you are getting at.


If you want VLANs to share the same broadcast domain, you bridge them.

Which can be dangerous from a scaling standpoint, unless all the
bridged parts are under common administration.  One of the reasons to
have reasonable size broadcast domains is to limit broadcast loads on
hosts; it is NOT a bandwidth problem.  It is a broadcast problem
whether the network is IP, IPX, NetBEUI, etc.

I find a lot of optical people getting confused and recommending
layer 2 VPNs because they think that interconnecting (i.e., bridging)
will magically work because they use full OC-192 lambdas between
them.  That has nothing to do with the core problem.

Telling people they need a router between them makes people think that
VLANs have some magical layer three capabilities which leads to the
above question.  Do people ever ask if you need a router between your
layer 2 broadcast domains?  No.  Because it used to be obvious.  If you
want to route, you need a router.  VLANs and the similarly misunderstood
Layer 3 switch haven't changed that caveat.

Do I need an IP address on my VLANs?

Some sort of network-layer addressing is required for end stations to
communicate using typical applications. There are some cases where
network-layer addressing is not used, of course, but that sort of
communication is being phased out.

Again, if you want to route layer three protocols, you use a router.  In
multiprotocol networks, such as those tested on the CCIE exam, it is
often necessary to support a mix of protocols, some of which need to be
routed across broadcast domains while others are bridged.  Understanding
this is much easier when you don't believe in the tooth fairy.

Ah, but if you have the tooth fairy as the administrator of an L3
switch...
Mind you, I consider L3 switches and tooth fairies about the same.
If it makes L3 decisions, it's a router.  It may be a router with
hardware distributed forwarding, or it may be a router with a single
  processor for control and forwarding. It's still a router.



Can I route between VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 with just a switch?

No, not a Layer 2 switch.

Bad question :)  You can certainly bridge two VLANs, essentially
creating one.  I should have said connect vs route.  The point is to
illustrate the difference between layer two broadcast domains and
routing, thus reinforcing the point that if you want to route, you use a
router.  There are no exceptions to this rule.

And the question often is, what problem are you trying to solve by
routing between VLANs?  There certainly are reasons, in a campus
environment, to bridge between VLANs with a L2 switch, such as the
VLAN users in one or more buildings and the servers for that VLAN in
a separate central computer room.


Can I have multiple subnets on the same VLAN?

Yes, but they won't communicate without a router. A station trying to
communicate with a station in a different subnet ARPs for its default
  gateway. Sure there are exceptions with strangely behaving IP stacks

Hi

It's true. It's also true that in similar tests with a Foundry will also out
perform a Cat. But keep in mind that a lot of this works out to be FUD.
Sales people from each company will have various reasons why you should
choose their product over the other. The bottom line is that you have to
choose which is right for your company based on it's business and technical
needs.

Both Extreme and Foundry are making a strong push into Cisco's enterprise
switch market share. Their products are very competitive, especially at the
price point. If I could get switches with Foundry's architecture, Extreme's
network management software and CLI, and Cisco's end to end solutions, I
would be a very happy engineer!

 How true is this?
 Can anyone throw some light on this report from www.zdlabs.com, 70-80%
 packet loss is rather substantial..hope it's not true!
 thanks

 From ZDLAbs :

  In Layer 2 mode, the Black Diamond and Alpine switches forwarded 100%
 of the traffic offered during the test
 without dropping a single packet. This resulted in a throughput of 57.1
 million packets/second for the Black
 Diamond and over 38 million packets/second for the Alpine using 64-byte
 packets. These results represent
 the maximum throughput possible, given the port configurations of the
 switches.
 The Cisco Catalyst 6509 lost over 78% of the packets offered during the
 Layer 2 full mesh test at the 64-byte
 packet size. According to the Catalyst 6509 documentation, the 6509
 switch fabric is capable of forwarding
 15 million packets/second. This rate is substantially less than the 57.1
 million packets/second offered during
 our test, which explains the large packet loss.

 'The Black Diamond and Alpine switches successfully routed 100% of the
 packets offered (over 5.7 billion
 64-byte packets) during the test without dropping a single packet. This
 results in a Layer 3 throughput of
 over 95.2 million packets/second for the Black Diamond and over 47.6
 million packets/second for the
 Alpine with 64-byte packets.
 The Layer 3 full mesh results for the Cisco Catalyst 6509 were very
 similar to the Layer 2 results. The
 switch dropped a large number of packets at all block sizes (86.86% with
 64-byte packets). As in the
 previous tests with Catalyst 6509 we verified that the internal switch
 counters matched the results from
 the SmartFlow application and that there were no packet errors during
 the test.

Sorry, Priscilla, lack of precision.  I tend to think of a 
hierarchical VLAN domain as bridging between, say, the workgroup 
switches in a building, the building aggregation switch (and handler 
of building-level servers), and the campus core switch(es).

In other words, the VLAN remains one broadcast domain, but has 
bridges/switches within it, microsegmenting and aggregating.

  communicate with a station in a different subnet ARPs for its default
  gateway. Sure there are exceptions with strangely behaving IP stacks
  and
  errors with subnet mask configurations, etc., but let's consider the
  typical case.
  
  This is my point.  To route, you need a router.  VLANs haven't changed
  this whatsoever.
  
  I simply find that too  many people misunderstand the VLAN concept
  simply because vendor marketing has confused the issue and numerous
  pieces of literature make the layer 3 to VLAN binding without properly
  developing the difference.
  
  Nit picky I know, but its a pet peeve.
  
  Pete

I personally regard VLANs, first and foremost, as a means of
multiplexing a LAN.

Re: QUERY ON FRAME RELAY, Can't ping to it's own inter [7:1]

2001-07-26 Thread Haitao Huang

The solution I found to the problem is to use point-to-point sub-interfaces
instead of configuring the frame settings on the serial interface. I have
attached a link that explains it in a little more detail.

Re: VLAN routing [7:13465]

2001-07-26 Thread Peter Van Oene

Incline comment

And the question often is, what problem are you trying to solve by
routing between VLANs?  There certainly are reasons, in a campus
environment, to bridge between VLANs with a L2 switch, such as the
VLAN users in one or more buildings and the servers for that VLAN in
a separate central computer room.

What are you guys talking about with this bridging between VLANs? Are you 
talking about, for example, a Cisco router configured to do bridging? Or 
are you talking about doing this, for example, on Cisco switches? If you 
have implemented VLANs how do you bridge between them on a switch? Why 
don't you just combine them into one VLAN?

Sorry, if I'm being dense. I'm just trying to learn.

Priscilla

Really talking about all of the above and non of the above all at once :)  I
simply wanted to separate as fully as possible the concept of routing and
VLANs that the statement VLAN equals subnet implies.  The point being that
VLANs are layer two broadcast domains and are truly agnostic to what
protocols utilize their service.  Hence, you can bridge them to grow them if
you so desire.  However, if you want to route, we are no longer talking
VLANs and now are in the realm of routed, routing, and routers.  To answer
your question, if I have two VLANs on a cisco switch, I can connect them
both to a bridge and voila, they are connected (hopefully spanning tree
works)  I haven't really achieved anything by doing this and likely have
done more harm the good, but I have illustrated that VLANs are a layer two
weed; fertilized by bridges and contained by routers if you will.

I'm reminded of two legacy items with respect to this thread however.
Firstly, last I checked, SNA was by far the most dominant protocol
configured on devices thanks to POS (that being point of sale vs packet over
sonet) and secondly, have we satisfied Hans's need for an answer at this
point? :)

Re: 3Com does not play well with Cisco RIPv2 [7:13900]

2001-07-26 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

Cisco routers default to update every 'so often' where as the 3com routers
update when a change has been made...this is why the cisco routers drop all
updates after so long because the 3com router is no longer sending them.  On
the cisco side you can change the update interval to match and all should be
well.

-Patrick

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by update every so often. 
You may be touching on a rather subtle issue in the design of routing 
protocols, discovered by Sally Floyd.

Many RIP (and for that matter IGRP) implementations would reset their 
update timer when they received new information, so that when the 30 
second timer expired, they would send out the most accurate 
information.  Unfortunately, when this behavior extends over a large 
number, it acts as a weak but real time synchronization mechanism, 
causing all the 30 second timers to expire at about the same time, 
causing periodic peak loads.

The answer is to put slight randomization into the 30 second or 
whatever periodic timer is used. Cisco, and most other vendors, do 
jitter most of their periodic timers.

If 3Com stops sending periodic updates simply because there is no 
change, that is a major violation of conformance to the RIP standard. 
RIP and IGRP rely on periodic updates to detect router and link 
failures.




  Provost, Robert  07/26/01 04:34PM 
  We have a Frame Relay network with 3Com and Cisco routers.  The core
  routers are 3Com PathBuilders S500 series.  All routers are configured
  for RIP version 2 (VLSM).  All of the 3Com router's RIP routes show up
  fine in the Pathbuilder's RIP table.  The Cisco router's RIP routes
  show up, then garbage out(show as unreachable), then show up again,
  then garbage out , etc.  Our current work  around is to add static
  routes to the Pathbuilders for all Cisco routers.

  Does anyone have any info on this issue?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,

Bonding, to be specific, is a layer 1 technique intended for

To do it on the router, look at multilink PPP for a layer 2 solution,

Booting in rom-mode on a cat5500 [7:13916]

2001-07-26 Thread Frank Kim

Hi guys,
I got a cat5500 originally running on 16megs of dram and 8megs of flash on
some old ass code.  I took out that 16megs dram stick and traded it off
for a carnesada burrito.  Luckily, I had a 32megs dram stick left so I
plugged it into the cat5500 and it worked like a champ.  After finishing
my burrito, I got so hyped.  So I decided to upgrade the old ass code to
some new kick ass code, which was 5.something.  I dont'
remember.  Everythign went smooth.  The new code was rocking and
rolling.  I was able to use some new features such as cntrl-p to repeat
commands and question to list out some options.  So basically I was stoke.

Two weeks later, I got so broke.  I traded my 32megs dram stick with my
next door amigo for his old ass 16megs simms and another burrito.  So that
nite, my tummy was full, well satisfied.

Okay, now here i am with my small ass 16megs dram stick in the cat5500,
trying to boot up a code that is too big.  It would boot to the point
where it asks for the password, then it restarts again.  So, my question
is:  is there a break sequence key that I can enter to bring me into
rom-mode so I can rescue this baby?  Thanks for any advice.

And please dont tell me to take out the 8meg flash sticks and replace it
with a blank 8meg flash stick to make the switch boot to rom-mode by
itself.  This will work for me, but unfortunately, my poor ass does not
have money to buy another 8meg flash.

If someone feels offended with this email, please don't be.  Today is my
'ass day'.  So give me a break.  I only get to use the ass word once every
365 days.

1,000 Commission Per Sale! 10215 [7:13919]

2001-07-26 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

$1,000 Commission Per Sale!  
  Great Vacations and Endless Opportunities!



Thank you for responding to our ad for Entrepreneurs. We are presently
taking on dealers who have seasoned sales experience or experience in
running a small business and understand the ins and outs of sales. Our
product is simple, We sell One Vacation Package that everyone wants.

 The customer receives: 8 luxury cruises (Carnival, Princess, Norwegian
etc), 6 Las Vegas vacations (some even include airfare), and 12 Luxury
Resort Vacations to places like Disney/Orlando (airfare is even included for
2 people), 8 days and 7 nights in the Bahamas (airfare included for 2
people) and much more. You will sell this package for an incredibly low
price of only$1,399 and guess how much of that you keep. That's right your
commission is $1,000 on every sale!  Your product will only cost you $399
(buy as you go, you don't need to keep an inventory).

 There are independent dealers selling 7 to 10 of these every week, every
week. Think about what you will be offering, over 25 premium vacations for
what most people will pay for one vacation. Your customers will never be
asked to attend any timeshare presentations and there  is never a catch with
any of these vacations.
 All vacations are open ended and 100% transferable to friends and family.
Who would pay $3500 for a cruise when they can have 8 (same quality) cruises
for only $1,399?

  All you need to do is put out some flyers and place a few inexpensive
classified ads and then just sit back and watch your customers flock to you.
A motivated dealer can plan on closing at least 3 deals his first week doing
this.
*** Make this business as big as you want it. How much would you pay to make
$3,000 to $7,000 every week? Well we are going to make it very easy for you
to get involved with our company,

   Your cost is a one time fee of only: $995. Here is what you will get
with your investment: 1 presentation kit, a completely customized marketing
strategy, professional marketing advice, flyers (on disk) and classified ads
that work and much much more!

 But don't forget the most important thing, you are getting a real
turn-key business selling a product that is in HUGE demand that you can work
right out of your house. Spend more time with your family and do the things
that you want to do.
*** If you are truly interested in this opportunity and have sales
experience and have $995 to invest in a time tested business of your own, we
want to talk to you!
  Serious inquiries only.

PS: You may be wondering how we can give so many vacations away for such a
small price, well, the concept is simple. Every time a ship leaves port they
are 30% unoccupied. Cruiselines lose money of every cabin that is empty.
They would rather give away the cabin for free than have it empty because
they know that if a couple goes on a beautiful luxury cruise for free, they
will spend more money on the extras like: alcohol, tennis lessions,
souviniers, clothes, etc.

Statistically, a customer vacationing for free will spend more than the
paying customers on the cruise so the cruiseline makes millions of dollars
even though they are giving cabins away for free. It is that simple. The
same applies to resorts.

  *** Call us toll free at  888-354-2111 
   Serious inquiries only.

 And please dont tell me to take out the 8meg flash sticks and 
 replace it
 with a blank 8meg flash stick to make the switch boot to rom-mode by
 itself.  This will work for me, but unfortunately, my poor 
 ass does not
 have money to buy another 8meg flash.
 
 If someone feels offended with this email, please don't be.  
 Today is my
 'ass day'.  So give me a break.  I only get to use the ass 
 word once every
 365 days.

$1,000 Commission Per Sale!
  Great Vacations and Endless Opportunities!



Thank you for responding to our ad for Entrepreneurs. We are presently
taking on dealers who have seasoned sales experience or experience in
running a small business and understand the ins and outs of sales. Our
product is simple, We sell One Vacation Package that everyone wants.

 The customer receives: 8 luxury cruises (Carnival, Princess, Norwegian
etc), 6 Las Vegas vacations (some even include airfare), and 12 Luxury
Resort Vacations to places like Disney/Orlando (airfare is even included for
2 people), 8 days and 7 nights in the Bahamas (airfare included for 2
people) and much more. You will sell this package for an incredibly low
price of only$1,399 and guess how much of that you keep. That's right your
commission is $1,000 on every sale!  Your product will only cost you $399
(buy as you go, you don't need to keep an inventory).

 There are independent dealers selling 7 to 10 of these every week, every
week. Think about what you will be offering, over 25 premium vacations for
what most people will pay for one vacation. Your customers will never be
asked to attend any timeshare presentations and there  is never a catch with
any of these vacations.
 All vacations are open ended and 100% transferable to friends and family.
Who would pay $3500 for a cruise when they can have 8 (same quality) cruises
for only $1,399?

  All you need to do is put out some flyers and place a few inexpensive
classified ads and then just sit back and watch your customers flock to you.
A motivated dealer can plan on closing at least 3 deals his first week doing
this.
*** Make this business as big as you want it. How much would you pay to make
$3,000 to $7,000 every week? Well we are going to make it very easy for you
to get involved with our company,

   Your cost is a one time fee of only: $995. Here is what you will get
with your investment: 1 presentation kit, a completely customized marketing
strategy, professional marketing advice, flyers (on disk) and classified ads
that work and much much more!

 But don't forget the most important thing, you are getting a real
turn-key business selling a product that is in HUGE demand that you can work
right out of your house. Spend more time with your family and do the things
that you want to do.
*** If you are truly interested in this opportunity and have sales
experience and have $995 to invest in a time tested business of your own, we
want to talk to you!
  Serious inquiries only.

PS: You may be wondering how we can give so many vacations away for such a
small price, well, the concept is simple. Every time a ship leaves port they
are 30% unoccupied. Cruiselines lose money of every cabin that is empty.
They would rather give away the cabin for free than have it empty because
they know that if a couple goes on a beautiful luxury cruise for free, they
will spend more money on the extras like: alcohol, tennis lessions,
souviniers, clothes, etc.

Statistically, a customer vacationing for free will spend more than the
paying customers on the cruise so the cruiseline makes millions of dollars
even though they are giving cabins away for free. It is that simple. The
same applies to resorts.

  *** Call us toll free at  888-354-2111

Ever hear of 1-800 (or 1-888) numbers being call-forward to 1-900 pay
numbers?  You get a nasty bill in the mail.

As an aside, for those of you using dialup--one of the local police officers
in charge of internet fraud told of an incident where people who visited a
web page had their modems disconnect, their speakers silenced with the
appropriate AT command, and then redial restoring their internet
connectivity--via a 1-900 PAY NUMBER!  What fun!

Re: Question for Support exam [7:13859]

2001-07-26 Thread Imran Moin

If you are using a layer 3 switch, then i would go
with option 2 because each vlan on the switch
corresponds to a logical interface on the router. 

So that would be my 0.02 cent answer.

Sales people from each company will have various reasons why you should
choose their product over the other. The bottom line is that you have to

Both Extreme and Foundry are making a strong push into Cisco's

 Can anyone throw some light on this report from www.zdlabs.com, 70-80%
 packet loss is rather substantial..hope it's not true!
 thanks

 From ZDLAbs :

  In Layer 2 mode, the Black Diamond and Alpine switches forwarded
100%
 of the traffic offered during the test
 without dropping a single packet. This resulted in a throughput of
57.1
 million packets/second for the Black
 Diamond and over 38 million packets/second for the Alpine using
64-byte
 packets. These results represent
 the maximum throughput possible, given the port configurations of the
 switches.
 The Cisco Catalyst 6509 lost over 78% of the packets offered during
the
 Layer 2 full mesh test at the 64-byte
 packet size. According to the Catalyst 6509 documentation, the 6509
 switch fabric is capable of forwarding
 15 million packets/second. This rate is substantially less than the
57.1
 million packets/second offered during
 our test, which explains the large packet loss.

 'The Black Diamond and Alpine switches successfully routed 100% of the
 packets offered (over 5.7 billion
 64-byte packets) during the test without dropping a single packet.
This
 results in a Layer 3 throughput of
 over 95.2 million packets/second for the Black Diamond and over 47.6
 million packets/second for the
 Alpine with 64-byte packets.
 The Layer 3 full mesh results for the Cisco Catalyst 6509 were very
 similar to the Layer 2 results. The
 switch dropped a large number of packets at all block sizes (86.86%
with
 64-byte packets). As in the
 previous tests with Catalyst 6509 we verified that the internal switch
 counters matched the results from
 the SmartFlow application and that there were no packet errors during
 the test.

 of the traffic offered during the test
 without dropping a single packet. This resulted in a throughput of
57.1
 million packets/second for the Black
 Diamond and over 38 million packets/second for the Alpine using
64-byte
 packets. These results represent
 the maximum throughput possible, given the port configurations of the
 switches.
 The Cisco Catalyst 6509 lost over 78% of the packets offered during
the
 Layer 2 full mesh test at the 64-byte
 packet size. According to the Catalyst 6509 documentation, the 6509
 switch fabric is capable of forwarding
 15 million packets/second. This rate is substantially less than the
57.1
 million packets/second offered during
 our test, which explains the large packet loss.

 'The Black Diamond and Alpine switches successfully routed 100% of the
 packets offered (over 5.7 billion
 64-byte packets) during the test without dropping a single packet.
This
 results in a Layer 3 throughput of
 over 95.2 million packets/second for the Black Diamond and over 47.6
 million packets/second for the
 Alpine with 64-byte packets.
 The Layer 3 full mesh results for the Cisco Catalyst 6509 were very
 similar to the Layer 2 results. The
 switch dropped a large number of packets at all block sizes (86.86%
with
 64-byte packets). As in the
 previous tests with Catalyst 6509 we verified that the internal switch
 counters matched the results from
 the SmartFlow application and that there were no packet errors during
 the test.

BGP Question -Help Pease [7:13934]

2001-07-26 Thread Nabil Fares

Greetings,

Need your expertise on some BGP Design issues.  We currently have 2 T3
connections, one to Sprint and the other to UUNet.  We're getting a 3rd T3
(internet connection from Sprint) to a new building on campus that's going
to be connected to the old building with existing internet connection (I
hope that made some sense!!!).  What's the best way to design or setup BGP
with 3 internet connections.

Thanks for your time,

Nabil
