Re: EIGRP network design [7:21019]
The firewalls are for the internet and the intranet. At the moment I thinking of using statics on the outside of internet firewall and possible using RIPv2 for the inside. For the intranet I'm considering using RIP on both sides, but statics haven't been ruled out for either firewall regards ""Chuck Larrieu"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > my question was the design itself - why are there firewalls at all these > branches if this is an internal network? firewalls generally would be placed > at network edges?

RIPv2 authentication, routing, pinging [7:21267]
interesting phenomenon, one which makes no sense to me. sorry, I don't have configs or traces, so I hope my word is good here. Practicing authentication of various kinds. RIPv2. R1R2-R3 the authentication key chain and key strings are different on the R1-R2 link than on the R2-R3 link. all routes on all routers appear as expected. however, I am unable to ping from R1 to R3 or visa versa. when I remove authentication, save, all routes appear again, and end to end pinging occurs just fine put in authentication again, with all links using the same authentication key-string. all routes appear in all routing tables and end to end pinging occurs. question - how is it that all routes appear everywhere, but pinging is not possible when the authentication key-string is different for the different links? authentication has nothing to do with the routed protocol - only the routing protocol messages. anyone run into this one? my CCO searches were not enlightening.

OSPF summary LSA's [7:21273]
Please help. I am a bit confused with the following: Summary type 3 LSA's are generated by the ABR for every network and propogated across area 0. When one of these networks goes down the ABR will send an update summary LSA to all it's areas ??? If this is the case does this mean that all SPF routers in all areas will recalculate their SPF algorithm. As I understand the whole point of areas is to stop this from happening? My question is when an internal router receives a type3 LSA from an ABR ,does it recalculate it's link state database??? Chris Burnham, Systems Engineer, Delphis Consulting Plc.

Re: OSPF summary LSA's [7:21273]
No, Chris, the routers receiving a type-3 LSA do NOT need to recalculate the SPF algorithm. The key to understanding this is to realize that the routers within an area have complete knowledge of the topology of the area. In order to get to any destination in a different area, they must go through the ABR. If something changes in another area's topology, it does not affect how they get to the ABR, so no recalculation is required. Another way to look at it is to recall what information is contained in each type of LSA. Type-1 and type-2 LSAs contain detailed topology information -- not only subnet and mask, but exactly what routers are connected to each of the network(s) in question. The type-3 LSA contains only information about subnets/networks (and their costs) that are reachable through the advertising ABR, not which routers are connected to them. So the topology of an area is invisible to any routers outside that area. If the routers don't have any topology information on an area, there's no information to run SPF against. A foggy reply for early in the morning, but hope this helps a bit. Pamela At 05:21 AM 9/27/01 -0400, "Burnham, Chris" wrote: >Please help.

packet loss [7:21281]
Group, I have a problem with a certain vlan on our network. The problem goes something like this... I have a vlan105 interface created on a cat 6509. The primary ip address is x.x.105.254. The interface has secondary addresses of x.x.155.254, x.x.156.254 and x.x.157.254. Servers on this network are dropping packets, one in particular, serverA-x.x.155.219, is dropping packets 50% of the time. Moved the server to a different switch, same vlan105, the problem continues. Moved the server to vlan100, it works fine. Replaced cable and nics. Ensured proper speed and duplex are configured. No output from a debug vlan or span. Opened a TAC case a few days ago and the problem still remains. I just got a suggestion to remove and rebuild the vlan105 interface on the router. That will happen later this afternoon. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Robert Robert M.
