Re: OSPF Load Balance [7:26578]

For some reason traffic is incomming traffic is prefferd on one of the links. I have bounced the adjacencies and OSPF process. before I twig the cost to balance out the traffic has anyone had this issue? I don't think you accomplished what you wanted to do. Setting all the costs to be the same causes OSPF to act like RIP. That is, the metric now becomes a hop count. So unless you have the same number of hops, it won't work. Yes and no. If, for example, it is a campus network where everything is 100 Mbps, using what is effectively hop count still gives accurate metrics. In general, I find topology more important than exact metric values in finding optimal paths. Distribution and core speeds tend to be standardized. Where the link speeds tend to vary significantly is at the access tier, where you might not have multiple paths in any case, or a very trivial selection such as dedicated versus dial. Even then, route-cache will cause per destination load-balancing. True for route-cache only. No route-cache will give per-packet, and various flavors of CEF will give source-destination. One other thing to consider, you cannot control incoming packets (unless you use bgp).. But if all the routers in the domain control their outgoing packets, you get very close to accomplishing that. I agree that external information control can only be affected by BGP, and then it's advisory rather than mandatory. There's a fundamental question of how far one wants to go in traffic control, and why. If it is seriously necessary, IP load balancing just doesn't have the level of control needed. You want to go to a traffic engineering model with traffic-aware IP routing protocols and/or MPLS. hsb Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=26578t=26578 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: HSRP on Cisco with 2 Ehternet to ISP [7:26528]
Thank you for response, The problem seems when a link is down (not PPP, but EthernetFasE0/1 -local -ISP -Catalyst- ISP-router ATM-PVC) ,local router will not see at the connection is down and continue announes its LAN out. So is BGP and HSRP will help for redundant solution ? Regards I've been there a few times. The issue is that ethernet does not depend on keep alives from the distant end like a wan link. Ethernet sends itself keepalives. So probably a net diagram would be like: local router ISP switch on site -- ISP network destination .. Unless the local ISP switch goes down the local router will see a link and it will never go down if anything past the local switch is dead. But HSRP is still useful to watch if the physical interface dies (track the interface) but to guard against an upstream failure I have used floating statics to switch routes. Of course this is a manual config and if addresses change you have to change the config. Getting fancier involved using BGP and route maps - which made it dynamic.

Passed CCIE Written, life is good [7:26584]
Ok this is a little long, but I figure by writing this now I can save the trouble of answering the dozens of What books did you read and What software did you use questions. If you've already passed the written, or if you don't care what I did to pass, then hit delete. Took the CCIE Written yesterday... not necessarily because I felt I was ready for it, but more because I was sick of studying for it. All in all it was a challenging exam... I needed a 70 to pass, and I got a 77. I was kinda hoping to score in the high 80's at least, but a pass is a pass right? As another netacad instructor once pointed out to me, When you go to the doctor's office, you see his diploma on the wall... but you don't see his GPA anywhere do you? As for my prep work... I used Sybex's CCIE book by Todd Lammle and John Swartz as a basis for my studying, and cross-referenced with Caslow, Giles, and the CCIE professional development books when necessary. The Sybex CCIE book has taken flack on these lists in the past, and I will agree with other posters: there are several errors in the book, especially in some of the sample questions. Historically, Sybex has been very good about posting errata in their books on their web page... I didn't check for this book though, partially because I knew any errors would come up in my cross-referencing, and partially out of laziness =) I consider the Lammle/Swartz book a worthy investment though; a month ago I had practically 0 experience or knowledge of reading and interpretting RIF's or working with multicast protocols. One of the down sides of some of the more detailed books out there is that they contain so much information that a subject you know nothing about can be intimidating. For example, I THOUGHT I knew ethernet until I read the ethernet chapter in Giles' book. Reading a book like his to learn about something you know little about is painful at best, and fruitless at worst. The Sybex book does an excellent job of explaining the underlying concepts in english, giving you a foundation to build on. I also bought one of the Boson CCIE tests yesterday and went through it for a few hours before I took the test. Let me say, that was the second best $40 dollars I've spent on this test. (The best $40 was the bar tab I racked up last night) The questions in the Boson test were very challenging, many of them more challenging than the Written. I'm pretty sure, I wouldn't have passed without it. I had one other resource backing me up, I teach the Cisco Networking Academy classes. Believe it or not, knowing the CCNA netacad curriculum forwards and backwards contributed greatly to my success on the exam. Anyways, enough babbling... after taking a short break I need to start getting ready for the lab.

Re: OSPF Load Balance [7:26585]
Correct me if I'm wrong. By default, OSPF load balances up to a max of 4 equal cost, equal path-type routes. OSPF does not take into consideration of hop counts. Tom But if the interface costs are all set to 1, the path metric becomes indistinguishable from one calculated on hop count. This, in fact, is the Bay RS default, intended to ease the transition from RIP to OSPF.

If you've already passed the written, or if you don't care what I did to pass, then hit delete. Took the CCIE Written yesterday... not necessarily because I felt I was ready for it, but more because I was sick of studying for it. All in all it was a challenging exam... I needed a 70 to pass, and I got a 77. I was kinda hoping to score in the high 80's at least, but a pass is a pass right? As another netacad instructor once pointed out to me, When you go to the doctor's office, you see his diploma on the wall... but you don't see his GPA anywhere do you? As for my prep work... I used Sybex's CCIE book by Todd Lammle and John Swartz as a basis for my studying, and cross-referenced with Caslow, Giles, and the CCIE professional development books when necessary. The Sybex CCIE book has taken flack on these lists in the past, and I will agree with other posters: there are several errors in the book, especially in some of the sample questions. Historically, Sybex has been very good about posting errata in their books on their web page... I didn't check for this book though, partially because I knew any errors would come up in my cross-referencing, and partially out of laziness =) I consider the Lammle/Swartz book a worthy investment though; a month ago I had practically 0 experience or knowledge of reading and interpretting RIF's or working with multicast protocols. One of the down sides of some of the more detailed books out there is that they contain so much information that a subject you know nothing about can be intimidating. For example, I THOUGHT I knew ethernet until I read the ethernet chapter in Giles' book. Reading a book like his to learn about something you know little about is painful at best, and fruitless at worst. The Sybex book does an excellent job of explaining the underlying concepts in english, giving you a foundation to build on. I also bought one of the Boson CCIE tests yesterday and went through it for a few hours before I took the test. Let me say, that was the second best $40 dollars I've spent on this test. (The best $40 was the bar tab I racked up last night) The questions in the Boson test were very challenging, many of them more challenging than the Written. I'm pretty sure, I wouldn't have passed without it. I had one other resource backing me up, I teach the Cisco Networking Academy classes. Believe it or not, knowing the CCNA netacad curriculum forwards and backwards contributed greatly to my success on the exam. Anyways, enough babbling... after taking a short break I need to start getting ready for the lab. I don't post much on here (usually because the few questions I'm qualified to answer, get answered six times before I can hit the Reply button), but I want to thank everyone on the list; I've learned a lot from your questions and your answers.

RE: Physical-layer async command available in 2501? [7:26594]
AFAIK, the physical-layer async command is only available on the 2500 series routers that have low speed synchronous/asynchronous capable serial interfaces, i.e. 2520 - 2523. The 2501 only has high speed synchronous serial capable interfaces, and as such wouldn't need the physical-layer async command. So to answer your question...11.3 probably does support physical-layer async, if used with the appropriate hardware, i.e. 2520 - 2523. HTH Stefan# Is this command available in 2501 router? I have IOS ver 11.3 and seems to me this IOS doesn't support that. I wonder if any of the latest IOS supports this command.

Re: User access accounting [7:26472]
Although not an easy solution, you could assign department/group users to VPNs and use Netflow accounting for the aggregate use per VPN. This would allow you to track resource usage per group VPN and may be applicable to reporting requirements in the future also. nrf wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... PVC monitoring and such are easily done through many SNMP packages. But you seem to be asking for something different - for user accounting. That, unfortunately, can only be easily done if those users are reliably using the same addresses all the time. If that is the case, then something like Netflow accounting would probably seve you well. If that is not the case (those users are constantly changing their addresses), then you the situation is indeed problematic. If you are using DHCP to assign such addresses, then perhaps you could take lease information and correlate that with Netflow accounting logs. But if users are assigning themselves addresses, then your only choice is to user some kind of authentication scheme that asks for username/password information before anybody can use the PVC. Things like the auth-proxy feature (with accounting) or firewall AAA per-user accounting might work, but indeed, it's really a klugy solution. Paul Watson wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Thank you for the suggestion. To clarify: These are PVC's so they are nailed up. Also, I use Openview to manage my network but what I need is not usage of a particular PVC but a packet count/percent usage of the bandwidth for a particular user on that PVC so I can bill that user a proper percentage of the cost for that bandwidth.

OT: Thoughts from CCIE#8387 (longish) [7:26577]
All, Well as promised here are my thoughts, advice and suggestions for the many of you folks that will attempt the CCIE (written), and/or Lab exam in the coming months or very near future. I started this journey some 3 years ago at which time I would dare to say having some notable experience in computer systems and networking based on my Novell and windowsNT background. In becoming a CCNA is only seemed reasonable that the progression to CCIE was the ultimate step in climbing the ladder of Internetworking from a certification standpoint. Not to trivialize this process but as it's been pointed out by numerous people that we highly respect and admire on this list, that the CCIE exam test a limited number of aspects of overall internetworking expertise which relates mostly to an operational aspect of the business. In saying this I will begin with what I believe is the most important aspect of pursuing a goal like the CCIE, and that is Mentoring I can't say enough about having someone who have endured this process and was successful. This insight will provide anyone aspiring to the ranks of CCIE with a greater understanding of the dedication, discipline and respect for a process that demands nothing less. Not having access to a mentor as I've suggested is a reality for so many of us, the next best thing is CCIEAdvice a text document complied by a number of folks and maintained by a long-time list member and someone I dare to call a friend Mr. Chuck Larrieu. Another incredible resource is of course the groupstudy list but more importantly the archives. There was a time some two years ago when this list introduced me to a world of networking like I've never seen before with access to some incredibly smart people in the field. This is still so today, but the quality of discussion has fell off and I attribute it to the fact that some of those really smart folks no longer partake in the many discussions on the list. Ok, that's out of my system here's what you really came for. My journey for the CCIE lead me through the CCNA, CCNP, CCDP, which I think, is without a doubt the best way to go in pursuing the CCIE track. Why? Well I believe it allows one the opportunity to spend some time getting to know the foundational aspects of the various technologies (i.e. Remote Access, Switching, CIT.etc) After successfully passing the written exam I spent the next 6 months preparing for my first lab attempt (may 2001). I used many of the books noted on the list on numerous occasions. Just to mention a few names like Doyle, Halabi, Stewart, Parkhurst, and of course Caslow/Pavlichenko. Note: CCO has some really good documentation and as well the rfc's provide an invaluable resource. Combining all of these resources should leave no one short on the required information. My study regiment leading up to my 1st and 2nd lab attempt averaged about 60 hours a week. It is very important that you identify your study goals and make efficient use of your study time. For me that equated to writing things down on my 2 white boards, which was hung in plane sight, so everyday I would take notice and re-affirm my commitment to studying those areas I had listed. Another must is finding a study partner. Without a doubt this is possibly the next best thing to a mentor. It is important that you find (and be honest with yourself and whoever that is) someone that's on your level or higher so that the time will be spent on focused study sessions and not become hang-out time. Access! This is huge. You must spend countless hours on the rack. If you don't have a home lab or one at work you won't pass this exam. Rent time or share with someone who has equipment. This is so much more important with the lab change to 1-day in that you want to be totally familiar with the IOS and router so nothing surprises you. Just working on routers at work won't get this done. You must be able to test out numerous aspects of routing and switching (anything you don't understand) so I'm doubtful that this can be done on a production network. Knowing your stuff! That's all there is to it. The old mentor course ECP1 teaches this based on the Caslow/Pavlichenko book. The concept of knowing numerous ways of accomplishing an individual task can only be achieved through complete and in-depth knowledge of a technology. This is a must on the new lab format. Having taken the exam once under the 2-day format and most recently the 1-day format here are my thoughts and comparisons on each. 2-day: This exam I think afforded the candidate more time to recover with the possibility of being able to search the CD in order to find obscure/unknown topics. - The fact that a candidate receives feedback after completing each area is a rewarding factor. This without a doubt provides them with a confidence boost and gives then some direction as to what must be achieved. 1-day: There is no time for checking the CD. I was done at 2pm two full hours

Carrol,. I agree with you that some would learn slower or not at all, but I think you are incorrect on your devaluation of respect. It's easy to say that medicine tastes bad but is necessary. But I propose to the group that the damage is more than the help. There are many lurkers that would surely participate more and in turn learn more through being active rather than just lurking if indeed they could trust that they would not be humiliated if one of their questions was not up to par. So, although a demeaning message may be given to one of the few deserving participants, it will cause many participants not to grow as fast as they would if they were actively conversing.

Ok, so the medicine did not have candy coating on it. Intentions were still good. By the way, I have seen Priscilla and Howard at times ask individuals to do a bit more work on their own, or ask back questions to help them think. That is far more effective than spewing out answers like a candy machine. Perhaps whoever did the mean comments should have been nicer or just not said anything.

Hi folks, I am getting ever closer to sitting the 1st of my CCNP Exams (Yeh) I have a General question, I would greatly appreciate any advice on the topics I really need to focus on Before someone says all off it I know, but still it would nice if I had some feed back people who have sat the exam. I don#8217;t want any brain dumps or answers, just an idea. I thank you in advance.

If you've already passed the written, or if you don't care what I did to pass, then hit delete. Took the CCIE Written yesterday... not necessarily because I felt I was ready for it, but more because I was sick of studying for it. All in all it was a challenging exam... I needed a 70 to pass, and I got a 77. I was kinda hoping to score in the high 80's at least, but a pass is a pass right? As another netacad instructor once pointed out to me, When you go to the doctor's office, you see his diploma on the wall... but you don't see his GPA anywhere do you? As for my prep work... I used Sybex's CCIE book by Todd Lammle and John Swartz as a basis for my studying, and cross-referenced with Caslow, Giles, and the CCIE professional development books when necessary. The Sybex CCIE book has taken flack on these lists in the past, and I will agree with other posters: there are several errors in the book, especially in some of the sample questions. Historically, Sybex has been very good about posting errata in their books on their web page... I didn't check for this book though, partially because I knew any errors would come up in my cross-referencing, and partially out of laziness =) I consider the Lammle/Swartz book a worthy investment though; a month ago I had practically 0 experience or knowledge of reading and interpretting RIF's or working with multicast protocols. One of the down sides of some of the more detailed books out there is that they contain so much information that a subject you know nothing about can be intimidating. For example, I THOUGHT I knew ethernet until I read the ethernet chapter in Giles' book. Reading a book like his to learn about something you know little about is painful at best, and fruitless at worst. The Sybex book does an excellent job of explaining the underlying concepts in english, giving you a foundation to build on. I also bought one of the Boson CCIE tests yesterday and went through it for a few hours before I took the test. Let me say, that was the second best $40 dollars I've spent on this test. (The best $40 was the bar tab I racked up last night) The questions in the Boson test were very challenging, many of them more challenging than the Written. I'm pretty sure, I wouldn't have passed without it. I had one other resource backing me up, I teach the Cisco Networking Academy classes. Believe it or not, knowing the CCNA netacad curriculum forwards and backwards contributed greatly to my success on the exam. Anyways, enough babbling... after taking a short break I need to start getting ready for the lab. I don't post much on here (usually because the few questions I'm qualified to answer, get answered six times before I can hit the Reply button), but I want to thank everyone on the list; I've learned a lot from your questions and your answers.

Re: Non Cisco Cert [7:26532]
If you think the hardware test was tough, just wait for the OS test. Both tests are strange tests, but the OS test is even more so that way. It's pretty damn tough imo. There's a lot of questions on the test that have the most right type of answers. I got certified, but I really don't think that cert means a whole lot, certainly nothing compared to any Cisco cert. You could know a ton about hardware and old OS's and not pass because you're a bad test taker. That cert challenges your abililty to take tests, not know the material.

Re: Getting past aaa password on PIX 515 [7:26562]
This is how to fix the problem on your hand. Because the PIX firewall was configured to use AAA authentication, even after when you use the npXX.bin to erase the password, chance is that you will NOT be able to log onto the PIX because the configuration is STILL there, only the password has been reset. I am pretty certained that the AAA server is located on the network that the INSIDE interface resides. In that case, you would have to physically remove the cable that is connected to the INSIDE interface. That way, the PIX will be cutoff from the AAA server. When you first logon (from console port), you will still prompt for username; since AAA server is not reachable, the username you will be using is pix. The password you will use for username pix will be cisco or pixfirewall or pixadmin (it has been a while since I did this). That's about it. Let me know if you have questions. A.

Team, This morning I was able to pass the CIT(what a testhard)and become CCNP. First I would like thank GOD, San Lazaro, my Family and all the members of the Cisco Group Study that have contributed to helping me pass my CCNP Exams. Now I will take a week off(in order to spend some time with the family). I will be working on the CCDP before going for the written. Questions: 1 - Should I take the CID and then the CCDA 2 - What is the best book available (a book where I could learn not only passing the test) Thanks God Bless all. It feels good.

CCIP certification - who else is doing it? [7:26605]
After completing my CCNP and CCDP about a year ago I pretty much dropped out of the education scene, sold all of my routers, and got busy with various radio related stuff. Last spring I started a wireless ISP with a couple of other guys. We got it funded about two months ago and I found that I was doing a lot more with Cisco, at least BGP/OSPF/802.1Q/QoS, and I started looking over the certs to see if there was one that mostly matched what I am doing work wise - the CCIP fits me the way the CCIE, with all of its enterprise stuff, never will. I've started slowly rebuilding the lab - a 2621 with voice and ISDN, my trusty old no serial number CiscoPro 2511 that I couldn't bear to sell, a Cat 1924 EN, and a 7204 with four sync serial ports dropped into my lap a couple of weeks ago. I figure I'll be back to 'full strength' before too long - I'll probably sell the 7204 and get something smaller/quieter. I don't see any Pass the CCIP books or any CCIP specific tests on boson.com so I started digging into the requirements to see if the CCNP/CCDP stuff might fit. This is what I've found so far: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (exam 640-900) is the larger of the two core exams and it appears to be very similar to BSCN with much added from BGP and IS-IS. I'm reading Internet Routing Architectures again and its a lot more fun this time - I have a dual T1 CEF bundle from Sprint, another T1 that terminates at a different Sprint router, and a UUNet T1 that ought to be up in a few weeks - nothing like real world application to get you to open up the book :-) The Multicast + QoS beta exam (exam 641-905) looks like much of the multicasting information from the BCMSN exam and a lot of QoS stuff that isn't covered anywhere else. I'm lucky here, too, lots of QoS stuff I need to do on my growing network. I've had the Cisco Press IOS 12.0 Quality of Service reference book for a while, and I just got Enhanced IP Services for Cisco Networks and the new IP Quality of Service book as well. Hopefully reading this stuff will fill in the blanks ... I looked at the five possible electives - Cable, Content Networking, METRO (optical), Security, and MPLS - MPLS is the only one that doesn't look completely useless for a network of the size I operate. I've been hoping they'll add a wireless specialization which would be very easy for me after the last six months, but MPLS looks like a good second choice - stuff I might be able to use, lab gear is not a fortune, and there are a couple of books out. I bought MPLS and VPN Architectures today. Has anyone on here completed the CCIP yet? Who is actively working on it?

Re: The Scoop on PIX? [7:26607]
Well, I don't have the technical specs in front of me right now. But in general, when you take a given PIX and compare it to a router that costs an equivalent amount of money (including license for FW feature set), the PIX does firewall processing faster. It also has more security features - for example, it has integration with AAA that allows you to specify a security policy with greater granularity than a router can right now. For example, when combined with AAA, you can implement a policy that allows certain users (based on username/password, not just IP address) to access certain FTP servers, HTTP, and telnet servers on the Internet, but not others. This is not easily done with a router (it can be done, but not as well as a PIX can do it). But in general, it is true that over time, more and more features will be incorporated by Cisco into IOS, such that it may not prove necessary to buy those ancillary appliances that Cisco sells and just get a pumped up IOS router that does everything. It may not do things as well as that dedicated appliance, but it may be good enough for many customers. For example, right now you can get an IOS with that contain some (not all) IDS features, which might make an IDS sensor unnecessary if you don't need a complete IDS solution. You can get IOS with SLB, which might make a LocalDirector or even a CSS 11000 unnecessary. Routers with hardware-accelerated encryption cards might make VPN concentrators like the vpn3000 or vpn5000 unnecessary. Hi all.

You have my vote on that. I think there would be many more thoughtful discussions if most average folks didn't feel like they need to put on a suit of armor just to join the discussion. But alas...it seems to be that way in every discussion group. Carrol,. I agree with you that some would learn slower or not at all, but I think you are incorrect on your devaluation of respect. It's easy to say that medicine tastes bad but is necessary. But I propose to the group that the damage is more than the help. There are many lurkers that would surely participate more and in turn learn more through being active rather than just lurking if indeed they could trust that they would not be humiliated if one of their questions was not up to par. So, although a demeaning message may be given to one of the few deserving participants, it will cause many participants not to grow as fast as they would if they were actively conversing. I really don't think you're argument holds water because of that. Besides the same finite resource you refer to are wasted with the rant as with the question.

Re: OSPF Load Balance [7:26621]
I'll have to disagree, and someone else please correct me if I'm wrong. OSPF only understands intra-area, inter-area and external route types. OSPF route preference is based upon route types and within the same route type, costs. If there're equal cost routes within the same route type, then load balance is automatic. Sure you can look at same cost as hop counts. If I make the cost of two paths to the same destination, say 100, you certainly can view that as 100 hops. But load balance will happen. If interface cost is set to 1, however, hop count becomes the path metric of the route. The routes will load-balance only if they are the same type (intra-area, inter-area, external type 1, or external type 2). If there're no equal cost paths to the same destination, fast switch will not put packets on the higher cost path, period. Correct. Tom From: Hansang Bae Reply-To: Hansang Bae To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OSPF Load Balance Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2001 20:14:20 -0500 From: Hansang Bae I don't think you accomplished what you wanted to do. Setting all the costs to be the same causes OSPF to act like RIP. That is, the metric now becomes a hop count. So unless you have the same number of hops, it won't work. Even then, route-cache will cause per destination load-balancing. At 10:17 AM 11/17/2001 -0600, tom cheung wrote: Correct me if I'm wrong. By default, OSPF load balances up to a max of 4 equal cost, equal path-type routes. OSPF does not take into consideration of hop counts. All correct. *Except*, that the original poster made all the interface costs to be the same. So basically, the metric acts just like hop counts. And while load balancing works across 4 links (w/o using maximum-paths), the route-cache (fast processing) makes the router use one link for a particular destination. This isn't unique to OSPF, it's just the way fast processing works (w/o using CEF etc.) hsb _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=26621t=26621 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Need Assitance on my Access-Server logs [7:26622]
Hi I have a Cisco 3660 access-server with 6 NM-16AMs. The problem is that my clients are being disconnected too frequently and sometimes their connect-speeds are very low (21600 bps). Here are some of my show command outputs: RamRam#show modem call stats 5 . (the results have been cut out) lostCarr dtrDrop rmtLink retrain Total 300707 863 0 Can everyone tell me what these resukts whould mean (especially DTRDROP and what would cause a DTR DROP)? I have asked for the Tel. lines to be tested and they said that they are OK. Are there any problems with modems or not? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Hamid __ Do You Yahoo!?

Encrypted MD5 for RW SNMP community string??? [7:26623]
I have a question for those security gurus out there Can the SNMP community string be encrypted in MD5? At the moment, I can only encrypt the SNMP community with DES which is kinda weak. I can crack DES password on my Pentium with relative ease. MD5 can be cracked also but a lot harder (if it is not a dictionary password, in that case it takes about 2 mins to crack an MD5 password). Many thanks. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=26623t=26623 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: The Scoop on PIX? [7:26607]
At 06:08 PM 11/17/01 -0500, Andrew Michael wrote: Hi all. What are some of the reasons why a person would choose a PIX solution rather than a good router with the the right IOS for security? The Pix is a stateful firewall, Cisco routers (as far as I know, typically) are not. Generally higher performance, short of using CEF and other possibly buggy speed optimizations. From what I've read on Cisco's site, there does not seem to be the huge gap between using a router as a firewall solution vs. using a PIX, as some people make it sound. Cisco calls is the Adaptive Security Algorithm or something. Basically, it has a stateful firewall mechanism. One last thing...for the life of me, I can't find what PIX stands for!
