Switch Mgmt. [7:14621]

2001-08-01 Thread Uttam Majumdar

Hi All,

I was trying to monitor the performance of a 2900 series switch.
Following was the output for - sh controllers switch.

mosswitch#sh controllers switch
Switch registers:

  Device Type  : 0x00020173
  Congestion Threshold : 0x6E8B
  Peak Total Allocation: 0x0EAE
  Total Allocation : 0x
  Peak Total Bandwidth : 0x09D8
  Total Bandwidth  : 0x
  Total Bandwidth Limit: 0x0B55
  Lower Bandwidth Limit: 0x0B55
  Switch Mode  : 0x0020

Cisco site mentions I shld be able to get the performance info by using
this comand. I am unable to extrapolate anything out of this output.

Please help understanding, how the switch is performing. The response
has been fairly slow.

Thanks and rgds

Uttam

Re: Just how important is route summarization in typical [7:14617]

2001-08-01 Thread nrf

I thought somebody was going to talk about masking instabilities.  But then
that begs the question - in a typical enterprise network (therefore a small
one of 100 routes or less), if you are suffering from routing instabilities,
isn't your time better spent to try to figure out why your routes are so
unstable and then remedying it rather than engaging in summarization in
order to mask the instability.

Like I said previously, I completely agree that summarization is indeed very
useful in large networks like NSP/ISP's or large enterprises (1000+ routes),
for many reasons (better lookup performance, masking truly becomes useful
because you can't be expected to fix all your flaky links in a huge network,
etc.).  But I would like to understand if summarization can be useful in a
typical enterprise network ( wrote in message

URGENT: Routing Issue [7:14618]

2001-08-01 Thread Hamid

Hi Group,

I have a Router (RTA) with a Serial port connected to leased line to an ISP
. There are two other Routers in my LAN each connected by their serial ports
to an ISP. RTA is the defualt gateway for my network. Since RTA is connected
to three internet backbones (1 for its serial port, and the other 2
routers), I want to assure network connectivity while providing load
balancing, I want to configure RTA so that it will route simultaneously
between these three ROUTES to the internet.

Can anyone tell me how I should config the RTA router?

Thanks in advance

I do recommend summarizing as much as possible, without being 
compulsive about it, even in fairly small networks.  But forwarding 
performance isn't the major motivation when you have, say, 500 routes 
or less.

There are a number of good reasons for doing it.  One is to enforce 
hierarchical design and efficient address space use. This will 
definitely be important if you ever need to justify assignments of 
public address space, and it tends to make life generally simpler. 
Hierarchy tends to localize the effects of mergers and divestitures. 
It can localize the effects of problems and simplify troubleshooting. 
It can ease your capacity planning.

Summarization also tends to contain the effect of route flapping and 
similar instabilities, which can have an appreciable load on router 
processors, especially small ones.

As far as your point about suboptimal routing, I find that this tends 
to be an issue only in the largest networks. The reality is that 
small networks -- and even large networks -- don't have huge numbers 
of alternate paths that could be found for optimality.  In one 2500 
router network I redesigned, only 400 routers routinely had alternate 
paths (i.e., not dial backup) they used.

If anything, the discipline of a hierarchical address plan helps you 
catch configuration errors early in the process.

To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson (I think), the tree of enterprise 
network topology must periodically be watered by the blood of 
renumbering.  Hierarchical addressing vastly reduces the amount of 
blood that must be spilled, along with other good practices.  See RFC 
2072.

I'm off to the IETF and pre- and post-IETF meetings, so may not be 
posting much for the next 10-14 days.

Re: Just how important is route summarization in typical [7:14612]

2001-08-01 Thread Geoff Zinderdine

Performance gains are only a small part of the
picture... what is more important is enforcing a
proper hierarchical addressing scheme that conceals
routing instabilities from the network as a whole, and
lessens the amount of routing update traffic
propagated across the entire network.

  It's gotten to the point

A network always benefits from the consistent
application of design goals.  Summarization scales
well because of the architecture which flows from a
properly addressed network.  I can't think of anyone
outside of an SP network concerned with global routing
table bloat that ever equates the benefits of
summarization in terms of increased routing table
lookup efficiency.  The benefit is that flapping
routes and their attendant update traffic are confined
to a small manageable area.  Not only does this
preserve bw but it greatly aids in network management
by narrowing the scope of the network that you need to
troubleshoot.

If the network architects can't properly summarize,
there are bound to be bigger problems than what that
particular misconfiguration will bring.  We are not
talking rocket science here, it is simple binary math.

RE: LMI question [7:14206]

LMI is a switch to router protocol.  sub-interfaces just bind to individual
DLCI's.  Therefore, they don't have their own LMI configuration.  Only the
serial trunk does.

RE: BGP, TCP, & Firewalls [7:14286]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

You need to clarify if you're running BGP on the firewall as well.  If you
are, quit it.  If not, then your BGP peers will need to communicate through
the firewall, so yes, you will need to allow them TCP access to each other.

As for someone probing your firewall to see if you are doing BGP trough it,
that's a moot point since it will only be opened to the other BGP speaking
router.  Anyone scanning from the outside would see that port as being closed.

RE: IBM Token Ring 8228 MAUs [7:14333]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

8228 MAUs are made up of micro-switches that get charged (initially) by a 9
volt battery and later kept working from the power of the ring.  If it's
real old, you may need to recharge it.  Never charge a port that is already
in the ring - you'll beacon it.  Also, you don't need to change RI/RO.

When a station "inserts" into the ring, it sends a voltage which flips open
this switch.  The current from the card pasing the token keeps it open. 
When the workstation shuts down or it is unplugged, this switch will close,
bypassing the port, and the ring keeps going.

To expand your token ring network, you put a cable from the RO port to the
RI of another MAU.  You should then connect that second MAUs RO to the RI of
the original MAU.  This keeps the ring from wraping.  What's nice though is
that you can break the ring to insert an 8228 at any time, as long as the
ring isn't already wrapped, and not impact anyone.

It's a fairly simple device.  One of my favorite.

LMI clarification [7:14608]

2001-08-01 Thread Jim McDowell

LMI has local significance.  My provider uses Cisco LMI type by default,
however we have reconfigured some of the remote sites to "Annex D" LMI type.
I believe the "destination" you refer to must mean the provider's local
switch.  What is important is that your router and the provider's frame
relay switch that it directly connects to have the same LMI type configured.
Under certain configurations and with certain versions of the IOS, LMI can
use an inverse arp process to find the DLCI.

RE: DHCP SERVERS [7:14444]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

Sure, the first one that responds wins.

They don't even need to be on the same physical network.  Let's say that you
have DHCP Server #1(10.10.10.10) in the production site and DHCP Server #2 
(192.168.1.1) at your DR site.

The router is configured with a helper address for both:

ip helper-address 10.10.10.10
ip helper-address 192.168.1.1

The broadcast will go to both of them, and the first to respond wins.

WARNING:  You better have your DHCP servers setup so that they can talk to
each other and keep each other up to date as to what addresses they've
allocated.  Otherwise, you can have problems.  They tend to ping the address
to see if it's OK, but access lists can make that not work well at times.

Check with your DHCP server vendor for info on that part.

Re: LMI Clarification [7:14490]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

Crud - I hate replying to my own messages.  But I forgot to add something:

If you are using Paradyne FrameServer DSUs, you have another thing to worry
about.

They tend to do auto-negotiation of LMI out their WAN side and Cisco LMI
towards your router.

With this setup, you are getting your LMI from the DSU, not the switch.  So
if a DLCI goes down, you can't necessarily see it.  This is because the
FrameSaver is "intelligent".  You can configure a fake DLCI between just you
and the DSU so that you have IP connectivity to the unit for support.  So in
reality, you can pretty much ignore the stats on the router interface, and
will need to get onto the DSU itself to find out what is going on.

Re: LMI Clarification [7:14490]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

If your LMI doesn't match, it just plain won't come up.  Both the router and
the switch must agree on their link management packet details, or they won't
be able to communicate.

Now, what could cause things to bounce is if there is a physical layer
circuit problem and you're droping LMI packets.  Take a look at show int on
your serial and you will see how many LMI packets were sent and received. 
If they don't match, you had a problem at some point.  clear the counters
and take a look at it a bit later.

Missing one every now and again won't kill you.  You have to miss 3 to drop
and get 3 to come back on line (if I remember right).  You can also debug
the LMI packets if you want to see what is inside of them.  Mostly, it's
just DLCI information.

The other reason why you might drop is because (no office to any telco
folks) but the telco tends to jack things up on their frame relay networks. 
We have thousands of frame relay links and every now and again, they will
just drop and come back on line.  99.9% of the time, it is because a DLCI
went inactive or deleted.

If a DLCI goes inactive, it means that you do not have end to end
connectivity for that PVC, however, your router and the switch both agree
that the thing really does exist.

If a DLCI goes DELETED, it means that you probably have an interface dlci
command in there, or a static dlci defined, and the switch doesn't agree
that it really exists.

Either of these two cases can be caused by a misconfiguration on the switch
while they're bringing up someone elses frame circuit and can knock you down.

RE: OT: Frame Relay Q [7:14495]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

I think that your explanation is pointing more at point to multipoint.  It's
somewhat confusing.  Let's say for instance we have this:


Hub (10.1.1.1/24) -> Frame Circuit -> DLCI 20
Site1 (10.1.1.2/24) -> Frame Circuit -> DLCI 30
Site2 -(10.1.1.3/24) > Frame Circuit -> DLCI 40

Notice that each of these guys only has a single DLCI, however, they all sit
on the same IP segment.

You would use this setup in cases where the remote sites don't necessarily
need to talk to each other.  If they do, then you have a split horizon
problem, and you either need to sub-interface on the hub site, or put in
frame-relay maps everywhere.

What's confusing about it is that in a normal frame world, you build PVCs to
each other directly.  So each side of the PVC has a DLCI identifier.

RE: HELP!! EIGRP and Multiple Connections (VLANS) [7:14579]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

If I understand what you're saying properly, you probably have a max-paths
problem.  EIGRP only handles a max of 6 paths very well.  Anything over that
and it starts getting pissy with you.

If you list out the EIGRP topology database, you will see that for every
route, you will have an entry for each one of your 12 VLAN interfaces. 
Since all of these interfaces go to the same routers, they all pretty much
are saying the same thing about the routing table.  So your router is going
to show 12 equal cost paths to your destination.

When a route flaps, you're going to have a serious recalculation loop going
on since each route for each interface is going to need to get
recalculated.  Either way though, this should not be causing everything to
hang until you clear the eigrp neighbors.  Especially since once the
neighbors re-peer, it's going to have to do it all over again anyway.

Are you also seeing a lot of routes stuck in active?  Just curious...  I
wouldn't be surprised if you are.  When the router loops up like that, it
can miss updates and responses and will bitch to high heaven.

There are a couple of ways to fix this.  Honestly, I think for one you
should check CCO for any eigrp bugs in your version of code, and update to
the latest version.  I know that sounds like a TAC answer, but quite often,
it's true.   Secondly, you can set the value of max paths to something lower
- like 2 or 3.  That will make him toss out any of those other routes and
not calc them all the time.

No flames about VLAN1.  VLAN1 is highly mis-construed as being a "bad thing
(tm)" but that's just because Cisco trains everyone to say that.  The only
issue with it is that since VLAN1 exists out of the box, you can
"accidently" put traffic in the wrong place if you don't know what you're
doing.


Good luck.  Let me know if I guessed this one right.

Thanks

RE: default routing [7:14593]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael Eckhoff

There are a couple ways to do this, but first let me make sure I understand
what you want to do.


Lets say for instance that "Server A" is really a firewall or external
gateway to the Internet.  You want any traffic that you do not claim in your
routing tables to flow to this device.


On the router closest to that device, you would put:



ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.2



...when a default route goes into a table, it becomes a 'default
candidate'.  Some routing protocols will only propogate default candidates
if they fall on a classful boundary.
  So for  instance, since you are
using


 10.x.x.x in your example, you cannot make that your default
candidate or things just won't make sense in a larger network.

So to get around this problem, you need to distribute something else out
that can be used as a default candidate - for instance, 192.168.1.0/24, and
is unique enough that everyone can agree on the specific route.

Example:

(Default Traffic EIGRP Router)
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 Null0
ip default-network 192.168.1.0

router eigrp 1
  redistribute static metric 64 2 255 1 1500
  network 10.0.0.0

(Other EIGRP Routers in the Network)
Nothing.  They should pick up the default candidate.

If you do a 'show ip route' on router B, you should now see your 192.168.1.0
route and it should be tagged as a default candidate.  As long as you don't
have a better default candidate in the table (take out your ip route 0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x), all traffic will flow downhill to the router holding that
route along the path to 192.168.1.0.

So let's extend this beyond just two routers.   Let's say you have a
corporate core network and you want all traffic to head down there from
anywhere in the network that there is no specific route for.  Why would you
do this?  Again, if you either default route to the Internet, or your core
knows about routes in other AS's that you don't propogate out into the
routing table.  You can suck all the traffic down, and then the core will
know how to get it the rest of the way, without having to send the route to
the rest of the locations.  You can now "stub" off all of the other
countries and only send them your default network.  They can each do their
thing, and yet everything will flow back to you if they don't know how to
get to it in their table (for instance, to get to another country).

Just how important is route summarization in typical enterprise [7:14601]

2001-08-01 Thread nrf

Hey all.  I'm going to risk starting a flame war by asking the following:

I've been struck by just how much importance Cisco courseware places on
route summarization.  For example, every student who goes through CCNP-level
courseware learns about all the various kinds of summarization - OSPF area
summarization, OSPF stubs, EIGRP summarization, etc. etc., and how it
reduces the size of the route table, thereby improving router performance by
speeding route lookup.  It's gotten to the point that Cisco-trained
personnel treat summarization like the holy grail, and they go around trying
to use summarization techniques wherever they can.

Yet, I seem to recall somebody wrote a book (I believe it was Berkowitz)
that basically stated that the performance gains associated with reducing
the route table via summarization is virtually nil in typical corporate
networks, because the real delays were caused simply by the serialization
time of sending packets over slow WAN links (T-1 and slower).  Plus, with
fast-switching and its cousins (optimum switching, MLS, etc.), route lookup
isn't done all that often , so there is little lookup delay anyway.And
besides, most corporate networks aren't very big - typically less than 100
route entries, so how much lookup delay could there be?   So, when I weigh
the cons of suboptimal routing as well as the possibility of
misconfiguration, I find it difficult to see why the typical enterprise
would ever really want to do summarization, as the gains are miniscule at
best.

Note, I know full well that ISP's/NSP's and very large enterprises (those
having on the order of thousands of routes) do indeed benefit substantially
from summarization.  Of this I have no doubt.  What I cannot see is why the
typical enterprise would really want to use summarization techniques.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Re: HELP!! EIGRP and Multiple Connections (VLANS) [7:14579]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael L. Williams

Dennins,

Thanks for your input.  I'll try to answer your questions inline:

"Dennis Bailey"  wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
> How many remote sites off each 7500?

Anywhere from 15 to 30 remote sites off of each 7500 (via ATM subinterfaces)

> Are the remote sites all 'stub' sites?

As far as I can verify, each remote site is totally stubby (i.e. 1 router
in/out).  However, we're not using OSPF so I can't make it an "official"
totally stubby area =)   (BTW, that was a joke.  I realize your usage of
'stub' simply meant it had no other 'backdoor' connections to our network)

> Do the remotes have connections to both 7500's (ie. primary and backup
pvc)?

I do not believe that any of the remote sites connect to both 7500s.  I will
check on that, but for now let's assume they do not.

> The passive-interface idea you have is probably a good one.

Since both 7500s connect to their respective 5500 via a switchport in VLAN
1, I assume I can implement passive interface on all other VLANs that the
5500's RSMs see.  This gets to the heart of my issue tho.  Does having more
than one connection (whether physical cables or logical VLANs) between two
routers (RSMs) screw up EIGRP?  Shouldn't it still only see 1 neighbor (that
it has multiple links to)?

> If your remote sites have a connection to both 7500's, make sure that you

Good call.  Again, I am 99% sure that each remote site is a totall stubby
network.

> If your addressing is organized in such a way that you can summarize

Luckily the addressing is setup in such a way that I can summarize.  I was
going to even try to one better that by summarizing at the remote router
(i.e. so that any changes on that LAN wouldn't send EIGRP updates over the
WAN to the 7500).  However (get this), the routers on the remote side of the
WAN links are "controlled" by each individual location.  I only have control
over the "centralized" 7500s and 5500s in the core  (love those politics).
So in an effort to minimize EIGRP updates in the core, I have introduced a
summary route for the site that if the primary cause of these EIGRP updates
that start the storms.  I configured the EIGRP summary route on the
FastEthernet interface that connects the 7500 to the 5500.  (i.e. the remote
site EIGRP updates still come to the 7500, but then the 7500 summarizes on
it's outgoing interface to the 5500 as you mention above).  So, at least for
this one remote site, when changes happen, the 7500 gets the update, but
everything else in the network (except the other WAN links hanging off of
that same 7500) are shielded from the updates because of the summary.

I didn't get a chance to capture a sniff of the recent storm (today), but
even since I introduced this summary address (actually, I introduced 2 of
them, one for each of the 2 main offending WAN sites) we've had these "EIGRP
storms" and shoot CPU usage up. luckily for us it's not enough to make
them go to 80-90% or lock up the box, but it's enough to concern me.  I'm
going to capture all day tomorrow so if there's another storm, I can see
which route is being stormed between the 5500s and try to "shut it down"
(i.e. introduce a summary in the appropriate place)  we'll see

Any further comments or input is MORE than welcome =)

Re: HSRP for a switch [7:14164]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael L. Williams

That's the config I use as well.  However, (and I'm not flaming you) that is
not what I was speaking of, nor what what I believe this gentleperson was
asking about.  The original poster said "I want to have a second switch with
a copy of the primary's configuration and take over automatically once the
primary fails".  I was speculating on a way to have two completely separate
chassis (switches/MSFCs) create a "mirror" and have one that sits in standby
while the other is active.  What you have there is 2 MSFCs using HSRP with
VLANs load balanced across them.  As I said in my eariler post, "Unless you
have the end devices connected to both switches, you're screwed".  You have
end devices (your servers) connected to both switches, which is the *only*
way this HSRP setup will provide complete redundancy (actually, it's not the
HSRP that provides it, but the fact that your end devices are connected to
both switches that provides that real redundancy).

Dear members;

I have a 2505 hub router with 8 ethernet ports.
I want to provide access to five PCs with Telnet.
As far as I know, 10 base T with straight cable
should be used just like connection to the 
regular hub
going to the transceiver.

I just want to make sure my understanding is 
correct and
any special arrangement is necessary for router 
to

Subject: Re: HSRP for a switch [7:14164]


This is possible with 2 sups in the same chassis, however, if you have
two separate chassis with their own Sups, then I don't think it's
possible to have one act as a "mirror" for the other.  You could
configure the RSMs (MSFC's, whatever) with HSRP, but that wouldn't do
what you said you wanted. Even with HSRP, the "other" interfaces on each
RSM would need to be configured with their own IPs, etc, thus not
satisfying your requirement to have "a second switch with a copy of the
primary's configuration".  Unless you have the end devices connected to
both switches, your screwed anyway if a sup dies (unless you have a
redundant sup installed in which case you're not utilizing the "other"
switch).

I do not believe that what you're looking for is possible with to
completely separate switches like that.

RE: Terminal server and Cat6509 [7:14535]

2001-08-01 Thread Rich Mallory

No one has mentioned it yet but make sure that the little pin beside the
6509 console port is in the "in" position. This position allows the rollover
cable to work. This position will also allow the 2620 cable to connect
directly to the 6509. If this doesn't work it is likely a config issue on
the 2620.

Another issue issue to ensure that all lines are clear before trying a
reverse telnet. Use a "where" command to ensure that you do not have an open
connection to the port you are trying to reverse telnet to. If you have an
open connection you can clear the line with "clear line x" or resume the
connection by typing the line number.

Re: HELP!! EIGRP and Multiple Connections (VLANS) [7:14579]

2001-08-01 Thread Dennis Bailey

How many remote sites off each 7500?
Are the remote sites all 'stub' sites?
Do the remotes have connections to both 7500's (ie. primary and backup pvc)?

The passive-interface idea you have is probably a good one.

If your remote sites have a connection to both 7500's, make sure that you
have outbound distribution lists on the remote routers so that the remotes
don't advertise anything but what is behind them.

If your addressing is organized in such a way that you can summarize
everything behind each of the 7500's back into the core RSM's that would
probably also help.  This way if a remote link bounces, the 7500 will see
the change and deal with it but the RSM's will not be affected.

RE: Way off subject [7:9997]

2001-08-01 Thread Chuck Larrieu

not true at all or by any means. there are any number of CCIEs whom I know
either directly from work or indirectly through the various news lists whose
experience was limited to some hands on in small networks plus home lab,
various study labs, or rack rental. I know a couple of guys from work whose
only real hands on experience was through implementation work ( installing
routers ) and the associated troubleshooting that inevitably occurs. most of
this work was in 5-10 router networks, and generally frame relay and not
very complex routing.

It's just a test.

I don't think you could get your CCIE without experience on a production
network. Virtually all CCIEs have 5 years full time hands on experience on a
big network.

Finish school.  It is a far better investment of your time right now.
Trying to get a CCIE right now would be a waste of time. Your chances of
getting the CCIE are slim to none without several years of big network
experience and a 5 router lab.

If your school is a Cisco shop, worm your way into the network infrastucture
group, or what ever they call it there.

I think a CCIE is a great goal and that goal needs to be set realistically.
Think of a CCIE like the bar exam or medical boards.  Unless you are the
kind of person who can read a 500 page physics text book in one sitting and
pass the final exam the next day, I would set the CCIE as a 3 to 5 year goal
after you got your first Cisco job.

Good luck.

RE: Frame Relay Q [7:14495]

2001-08-01 Thread Chuck Larrieu

I'm racking my brain trying to think of how one could accomplish this.

on the frame ( layer 2 ) level, a DLCI is an end point identifier of a PVC.
you need a unique DLCI for each PVC at the hub. one DLCI at the hub for each
PVC to a specific hub.

I'm curious where you heard that a signal DLCI was all that was necessary.

You can "Cisco-ize" a CiscoPro with a small utility program available in the
Software Center area of CCO. Think that you need a logon account to access
it. Most likely it is also available on IOS update CD ROMs. You should be
able to find those at a reasonable price.
Many CiscoPros came with 4MB of Flash. Consider finding at least another 4.

1) Pinouts for the 9 pin "D" serial port adapter to RJ-45 jack and for the
rollover cable will be in the CCO documentation for the 2500 series router.
Consider buying a console cable kit on eBay.
2) On CCO go to the TAC page. Look under Top Issues to find Password
Recovery.
3) Todd Lammle's book is a great place to start. There are tons of sample
configs on CCO for free. You can also buy books.
4) See if you can acquire some additional routers. The routing scenarios
need three or more boxes to adaquately demonstrate the lesson.

lab scenarios [7:14524]

2001-08-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,
Cisco office located in my country provides a lab consisting of 4 2500 and a
cat5000. I don' t think this equipment is enough to prepare for the CCIE
lab. Do I have any chance to implement various lab scenarios with these
equipments? 
I cannot afford to buy a home lab( believe it or not I make 1$) so since
one-day lab is coming up with no cabling issues, how helpful is it to rent a
lab on the internet (e.g. is it enough to do all the scenarios on
ccbootcamp)?

Interpreting image files [7:14581]

2001-08-01 Thread George Kallingal

Can anyone point me to a link/URL that has a list to decipher all the
symbols found on IOS system image files (for example,
c2500-j-l.112-20.P.bin)?

I did a quick search on Cisco's website, but came up empty.

Thanks.

George

Re: Intermittent connectivity loss - Resolved ?!?! [7:14562]

2001-08-01 Thread Don Oxman

Honestly, we haven't quite figured out what happened.  We're running both IP 
and IPX on the cluster, and we saw a lot of dropped packets on the server.  
We migrated over to the other node and have not had any dropped packets or 
loss of connectivity.

I'm not convinced that our cluster is setup correctly (I didn't do it).  
What I found curious is that Compaq Insight Manager emailed me an alert 
stating there was a loss of communication with the volume and I had time to 
open the email before I lost connectivity with the server.  I know there's a 
ton of cache memory in the controllers, but I realized then that our problem 
was not necessarily with the switch but with NetWare.  As soon as my machine 
lost connectivity with the cluster my machine locked up without a Client32 
message.  This is what has happened to a lot of our users, though some do 
get a Client32 message.

Our "A-Team" will work on this.  Of course in half of the offices they put a 
NetWare cluster they have had problems, and now these same people are 
building crappy Exchange clusters, but they know what they're doing!  Right? 
  NOT!

Again, thanks to all who responded.  If anyone has any insight into NetWare 
clusters please contact me.  I'd like to be the one who can fix this...

HELP!! EIGRP and Multiple Connections (VLANS) [7:14579]

2001-08-01 Thread Michael L. Williams

Hey all..  kind of a silly question, but how does EIGRP handle updates
when there are multiple links between two routers..?

Here is the scenario I've got:

I have two 5500s connected via etherchannel trunks and a 7500 hanging off
each one for WAN connections like so

WAN -- 7500 --FastEther--5500 --Etherchannel Trunk -- 5500 -- FastEther --
7500 -- WAN

(careful of wrap)
FYI:  The 7500s connect to their respective 5500 via FastEther that is in
VLAN 1 (no flames!)

Every once in a while an EIGRP update comes in from the WAN, and all of a
sudden the two 5500's get "hung" in an EIGRP storm...  I did a sniffer
capture (only in the VLAN I was connected to) and there were over 4,000
EIGRP updates from the two 5500's in 6 seconds. (all for the same route
that was passed to them from the WAN by one of the 7500's).  CPU goes from
~5% to 30% when this happens and the only way to stop it is to "clear ip
eigrp neighbors".  Once this command is issued, it's all over. things go
back to normal (until it happens again)..

My question is this.  Since both RSMs on the 5500s see the same VLAN
interfaces (since all of the VLANS are trunked between the two switches),
they effectivly have 12 (# of VLANs) connections to each other.  Could this
be causing this "storm" of EIGRP updates?

I was under the impression that the RSMs would see each other as a single
EIGRP neighbor.   I've considered taking all VLAN interfaces (in both RSMs)
except VLAN 1 (which connect to the 7500s)  and making them passive
interfaces.

Any input here?   I don't have a *clue* what could be causing this EIGRP
storm..  I can't say 100%, but I don't think the two 7500s are affected
by this storm.

TIA,

Mike W.

I've noticed that the CCIE - whilst a cisco certification in the true sense

the CCIE is an entity unto itselfwhich means that is distinctly separate

That's a very good analogy.  Consider that the space in the restaurant used
to seat all customers not being served is like the queue while the kitchen
is like the CPU.  Using that, my point in the first paragraph was that
assuming that customers enter the restaurant (and leave after finishing) at
a rate the kitchen can handle, the "queue" wouldn't need to be utilized  =)

That really hits the nail on the head.  There is *always* serialization
delay (on non-parallel links), so that's where packets can queue.

Re: MTU on the Internet [7:14380]

2001-08-01 Thread Peter Van Oene

To my knowledge, there are no proponents of sub 1518 byte IP MTU's to be
used as defaults on internet routers.  I would tend to think that at least
4470 would make sense.  Per my previous post in this thread, I am of the
opinion that a consensus hasn't been reached at this point on this issue. 
For information, I would target the IET F since changes in this matter will
likely be driven from the vendor space who currently pay some attention to
the IETF..

Have you done a search in Google? I would think you could find some info on 
this with some work. Let us know what you find out. ;-)

My thought was that it would not be a good idea to use 572 bytes since so 
many Internet devices send 1500-byte Ethernet frames. The 572 bytes size 
would mean routers in the core of the Internet would have to do 
fragmentation and reassembly which would really slow things down and be a 
bad idea. So my guess is that the MTU is 1500 or greater wherever possible.

Re: Terminal server and Cat6509 [7:14535]

2001-08-01 Thread Jonathan Hays

Just to get all the assumptions out on the table:

- The 6509 Supervisor console port takes a standard black or blue Cisco
rollover cable
to connect to your terminal or terminal emulator. You connect the
"CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC="
cable from your 2620 directly to the console port and it should work,
providing the
router/terminal server is set up correctly.

- If you are using redundant Supervisors in the 6509 only the active one
will respond.
-
1. Am I assuming correctly that you have directly connected your laptop (or
other
terminal emulator) to the 6509 Supervisor console port with success?
2. Can you connect from your 2620 to other console ports successfully (for
example, to
the console port on another Cisco router or a Catalyst 2429XL)?

Here's a basic terminal server guide in a nutshell.

The basic config for the router:

RE: 2501 router... [7:14553]

2001-08-01 Thread Wright, Jeremy

The best way to console into to your new router is to connect the console
interface to a SONET ring of a major city. Then call the phone company and
ask for a Denial of Service attack and then that should console you in and
clear any password.   I'm a smart a** too.   :-)

Re: Lab report Juniper's latency problems [7:14543]

2001-08-01 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

>Raveendra Hegde

cited the report at http: 
//www.mier.com/reports/cisco/Cisco12400JuniperM160.pdf.

Let's say this report, which was commissioned by Cisco, is the most 
accurate thing in the world.  And your point is?

Routers, especially routers in the class of the GSR and M160, are 
complex systems.  There is no one number that makes one better than 
another in all applications -- there are a series of factors to be 
considered.

Let's put it this way -- I'm actively cooperating in IETF documents
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-conterm-00.txt and
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-bgpbas-00.txt ,
which are coauthored by Nortel, Cisco, Juniper, and Nexthop -- and 
getting feedback from other vendors and users -- just to BEGIN to pin 
down how to measure the convergence behavior of a BGP router. I 
assure you that the result of this effort won't be a single number. 
Nor will forwarding performance (e.g., RFC 2544) produce a single 
number, much less considering QoS enforcement, filtering, etc.

Just throwing out comments about "latency" as if it is the be-all 
end-all doesn't clarify much.  The Mier and Lightreading reports 
dealt with convergence only with respect to a full table -- what you 
typically see at cold start.  With a router of carrier-class 
reliability, how relatively important is the time to initialize the 
whole table, compared to the performance of the constant adding and 
dropping of routes that goes on constantly?

Problem with CAR Configuration - Do you know that problem? [7:14555]

2001-08-01 Thread Leonardo Borda

I tried to configure CAR in my 2600 router but it is no working as I
wanted. I want to limit up to 50% my HTTP usage and allow all the rest from
my internal users to internet. I read in CCO how to implement it, but each
time that I configure cisco does not do anything to HTTP policy limits.
I saw in the Show Int  S0/0 Rate-limit that the access-group 130 policy
it is not being changed and the another policy is being changed.
If have any tip about this feature I will appreciate.

Greetings all.  I'm kinda new to this game, but have been "lurking" here for

a few questions.  
 
How do I build a console cable to connect to it?
 
How do I clear any passwords that will be present?
 
Is there somewhere that I can get scenarios / lab situations to practice on

brother-n-law.  Any vietnam vets out there in cisco land?

It is entitled:  "Who is doing the honoring?"

=
Who is doing the honoring? Whether or not you believed in the war, this is
the story of an American's reprehensible actions towards other Americans who
were ordered to serve and did serve. McCain has "forgiven" her, more in the
spirit of making peace with another human being. He would probably not
support this award. Pass it on if you agree. Has THAT much time past? Have
Americans forgotten? Read this (its signed at the bottom): REMEMBER, SHE WAS
KNOWN TO US ALL AS - "HANOI JANE. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the
''100 Great Women of the Century.'' Unfortunately many have forgotten, and
still countless others have never known, how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only
idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during
Vietnam. Part of my conviction comes from personal exposure to those who
suffered her attentions. The first part of this is from a McDonnell Douglas
F-4E Phantom pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In
1978, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo
Prison (the ''Hanoi Hilton.''). Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,
cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was ordered to describe for a
visiting American ''Peace Activist'' the ''lenient and humane treatment''
he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged away. During
the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp commandant's feet,
which sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col. still suffered from
double vision (which permanently ended his flying days) from the Vietnamese
Col.'s frenzied application of a wooden baton. From 1983-85, Col. Larry
Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4Es). He spent 6 years in the ''Hilton'' --
the first three of which he was ''missing in action.'' His wife lived on
faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned / fed /
clothed routine in preparation for a ''peace delegation'' visit. They,
however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they
still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN on it,
in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she
walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging
snippets like: ''Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?'' and ''Are you
grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?'' Believing
this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took
them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera
stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the
officer in charge, and handed him the little pile of papers. Three men died
from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost number four but he
survived, which is the only reason we know about her actions that day. I was
a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the
North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held for over 5
years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage in
Cambodia, and one year in a black box in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors
deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a
leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near
the Cambodian border. At one time, I was weighing approximately 90 lbs. (My
normal weight 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's ''war criminals.'' When Jane
Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I
would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I said yes, for I would like to
tell her about the real treatment we POWs were receiving, which was far
different from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted
by Jane Fonda, as ''humane and lenient.'' Because of this, I spent three
days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a large amount
of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane till my arms
dipped. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours
after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on
TV. She did not answer me. This does not exemplify someone who should be
honored as part of ''100 Years of Great Women.'' Lest we forget . . . ''100
years of great women'' should never include a traitor whose hands are
covered with the blood of so many patriots. There are few things I have
strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant
treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward this on to as many
people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer and
she needs to know that we will never forget. Charles (Skip) Klingman, Asst.

I know that the Sup III cards for the 5500 series use a straight Ethernet
patch cord rather than the standard rolled console cable. I don't know about
the 6509. Try going from the AUX port of your router to the switch with
first a rolled cable - if that fails then try a straight.

The only reason that I can think of that they would suggest BSCN prior to
BCMSN is that it is more or less in the same vein as the CCNA.  It may be
more comfortable for some people, but its not written in stone that you do
it in that order.

Re: MRTG [7:14538]

2001-08-01 Thread Patrick Ramsey

Just run ./cfgmaker

err... double click on itActually I think even in the M$ version,
it's still command line so whatever your RO community string is, the
format would be: cfgmaker public@name/ip   I tend to use name if you have it
in DNS just because it makes the graphs look prettier!  :)

Make sure you have enough ass to run it though...it needs to be able to
cycle completely through all of your devices every 5 minutes. (you will need
to set up cron or the NT equiv to do this.)

remember to edit the config file to change the working directory to the IIS
root or a directory underneath root.  And then you can run indexmaker to
pretty the output up a little.

There is another way to do this. If you are handy with a soldering iron
there is a loopback cable that you can build that fools the BIOS into

Re: Is CCIE written still necessary for CCNPs? [7:14518]

2001-08-01 Thread John Neiberger

I think he's asking if you need to take the CCIE written to schedule the
lab if you're already a CCNP.  The answer, unless Cisco says otherwise,
is that you absolutely have to pass the written before you can schedule
an exam.  The written exam covers several topics not on the CCNP tests.

What I think he means is that if the CCIE written is necessary for the CCIE
LAB if you're an CCNP.

Re: Xyplex 1600 as Terminal server For my Routers [7:14526]

2001-08-01 Thread Donald B Johnson jr

Yeah flash card in the models I've seen. They alway have a OS but we buy
tons (we have hundreds) direct from Xyplex so they roll out the red carpet.
They have sold or renamed the line to I think, an In-touch branding now, I
ain't sure though I don't get down to the deployment deck and talk to those
guys much anymore.

I suggest FreeBSD, but any Unix can be leveraged as a basic learning tool 
to learn other Unices.  If you really understand the concepts and theory of 
how unix systems are designed, you can easily adopt other unices.

The problem with the "universal flavor" is that all unices for the most 
part have their roots within two types of unix systems.  BSD and 
SysV.  Most commercial unices will be very SysVish.  This means their init 
scripts are usually different, and the layout is going to be different than 
a BSD like machine.  The freeware OSes tend to be very BSDish.

Unfortunately, this puts you in a bind.  There really is no "one unix to 
rule them all".  :(  Even if you do pick a BSDish like userland like 
FreeBSD, some binaries are different than say Redhad Linux.  Things like 
"route print" would not work in FreeBSD, but "netstat -rn" would work in 
FreeBSD and in Solaris x86!

In BSDish (and open source) terms, Linux distributions are probably the 
most used.  However, they seem to do a lot of nasty non-standard things 
like Microsoft.  Namely, their GNU route and GNU netstat are drastically 
different.  Plus, their /bin/sh is NOT shell script but rather 
BASH!  ARGH!  I feel FreeBSD is far cleaner.

In SysV (and commercial) terms, Solaris has definitely become a king.  If 
you want to get good with SPARC hardware, buy a Sun Blade.  (not suggested 
unless you REALLY want to be a Sun head)  If you just want to learn 
Solaris, you are in luck as Solaris x86 is available for free I 
believe.  (I bought my copy for ~$80bucks?).  Solaris x86 will most 
definitely be less forgiving on the hardware support.

I feel any BSD, Linux, or Solaris are great starters.  Just pick one, and 
get really good with it.  The others will be easily acquired if you run 
into them.  Learn any of them well enough, and you can easily do the two 
things you mentioned.
-integrate UNIX system to the internetwork
-use UNIX for device management using scripts

Good luck!

CCIE written is not a requirement for CCNP.
Actually your are better off taking the CCNP prior to the CCIE written
