RE: Loopback Interfaces... [7:37933]

2002-03-12 Thread Mark Odette II

OK, I'll make the question simpler.


Can you use a loopback interface in the same respect that you would use an
ethernet interface?

Create the loopback:  Interface Loopback0
Assign it an IP with a /24 mask : ip address 192.168.10.1
Configure the subnet assigned to the loopback interface to a routing
process, such as EIGRP or RIP.
Assign many other hosts on a LAN or a WAN an IP address that is in the same
subnet as the loopback interface.
Replicate the above configuration on Router at other end of FR network.
add subnet assigned to far-end routers' loopback interface to local EIGRP
AS, or RIP; do the same on the far-end routers' config for the same EIGRP AS
or RIP configuration.

And then, configure FR Subinterface with IP Unnumbered Loopback0, and route
traffic across the FR network, with the traffic orininating from either the
Router, or another host (if configuration above is legal) on the subnet that
is assigned to the Loopback interface.

What I want to do, is configure a VoIP enabled router with a loopback
interface assigned to 192.168.10.1, and several LAN hosts with the same
subnet assignment, i.e., 192.168.10.2, .3, .4, etc., and a /24 subnet mask
for all hosts including loopback interface.
I then want to create and assign IP Unnumbered loopbackX to a FR P-to-P
subinterface.

Create EIGRP AS to route Subnets assigned to loopback interfaces on each
respective router.

Mirror image this configuration on the other end of the "wire" (FR Network).

Configure Dial-Peers with VOIP destinations pointing to the loopback
interface of the peer router (other end of the FR Network).

Is this Possible??


The reason why I want to use Loopback interfaces, is because I plan to
assign a separate subnet to the FastEthernet Interface, and don't believe
that the use of the Secondary command will work, i.e., you can't specify IP
Unnumbered FastEthernet0 and have the Secondary IP address used ip
unnumbered fastethernet0 will use the FastEthernets' Primary address, which
is not desired.

The Primary Subnet assigned to the FastEthernet Interface will be NAT
Translating with a PIX FW (PIX will be doing the NAT) to hit the Internet.


For Topology description:
Router HQ  connects to internet on one subinterface, while connecting to 3
remote offices on a private FR network on a second subinterface.
Router Remote1 Will be connecting to the internet on one subinterface, while
connecting back to HQ on separate FR subinterface for VoIP over FR traffic
only (no Data traffic)
Router Remote2 will be doing the same as Remote1
Router Remote3 will also be doing the same as Remote1

... So much for a simpler reply. :)

Thanks in advance for everyones' comments.

What in the world is the question about, what are you trying to do.
 Ping the remote routers, they have a serial
interface that you can ping, or the ethernet.  Why do you need a
loopback, what routing protocol are you
running, where is a config?  We can't figure out what you are talking
about, we need your help to help you.

Re: Quality of Cisco exams [7:38063]

2002-03-12 Thread Yahoudi

should anyone be surprised that Cisco too is becoming victim to the
certification craze?

1) cert tests for everything under the sun

2) reduction of the CCIE Lab from two days to one

3) obsolete and EOL'd equipment in the Lab

4) lower level tests that have too many filler questions centered around
marketing materials

5) poorly worded questions? sometimes I wonder if this is just the excuse of
those who don't really know the materials, but since I know your work,
Robert, in your case I will accept your judgement on this

It would be impossible for Cisco to test for everything out there - old and
new. The question becomes this: is any certification forward looking or
backwards looking? Face it, the whole reason for certification is for
companies to go to the marketplace and show potential buyers that if they
buy a particular company's products, there are plenty of people around who
can work on it. This goes for any technology - from Microsoft to Linux to
Cisco to anyone. Certification is nothing more than a marketing tool, and
one more means to help companies sell. If certification is too easy, then
sure, there is some marketplace backlash, but if certification is too hard,
requires too much expertise, too much experience, then that has negative
effects as well.

One would hope that being a beta test, Cisco would throw out a lot of the
bad questions just because their analysis shows them as bad questions. But
you never can tell. I sometimes suspect that Cisco deliberately keeps a
certain percentage of bad questions in their exams just so that you have to
be smarter than the average bear to pass, because you have to do so much
better with the remainder. Does that make sense?

Re: SOHO vpn making satellite connection VERY VERY [7:38080]

2002-03-12 Thread Yahoudi

after some recent bad experiences with VPN across DSL, I began to wonder
about MTU sizes and their effect, particularly when coupled with off the
wall links or protocols.

OTOH, it could be that your VPN boxes don't like the latency across the sat
links. maybe you have your ak timeouts set too low, and the boxes are
spending all their time renegotiating links rather than sending data?

BTW, how are you measuring speeds? Ping tests? File transfers?

Dear Ejay Hire,

Manage Real-World Network Challenges-By Validating your Networking
Expertise with Real World Simulations

Cisco certified professionals are considered the "best of the best"
in the networking industry. Today, March 12, 2002, beginning with the
CCNA exam, Cisco will include simulation questions in Cisco exams and
courses. The enhancements to the Cisco Career Certifications program
will ensure certified professionals continue to provide our customers
and partners with the highest level of support and expertise needed
for managing and deploying Cisco end-to-end network solutions.

The CCNA #640-607 exam will focus on testing a candidate's knowledge
and skills, The CCNA exam #640-607 replaces exam #640-507 in all
countries except Japan. All translated version of exam #640-507 will
be retired on March 12, except for Networking Academy students. The
CCNA #640-607 exam will utilize Flash simulations along with "drag
and drops" to validate an individual's understanding and application
of the CCNA networking support objectives.

With the adoption of simulations in certification courses and exams,
Cisco complements a growing trend among information technology (IT)
companies to increasingly focus on knowledge and skills in
certifications. Real-world, scenario-based simulation courses and
exams place an emphasis on hands-on learning, and therefore, the
recognition and value of simulation-based exams are increasingly
apparent in the IT industry. Simulation questions require candidates
to apply troubleshooting and problem-solving skills to resolve
networking problems on their written exams just as they would need to
do while on the job.

Visit http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/ecampaign/misc
for more information and to demo a course simulation. The CCNA
#640-607 exam is supported by the current recommended courses, ICND
v1.1 and CCNA Basics v1.0. These courses are available through Cisco
Learning Partners and the Networking Academy, and include integrated
course simulations to assist in preparation for the new simulation
exam items. Visit
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/learning_part/about_learn_part.html
to find an authorized Cisco Learning Partner near you.

Although the CCNA exam has been redesigned, the learning objectives
have not changed. As a result, the existing CCNA exam outline and
course outline cover all the topics on the new exam with the
inclusion of simulations to further validate a candidate's network
skills. Simulations will be added to other Cisco certifications exams
and recommended courses over time.

Develop real-world network skills for those real-world network
challenges.

Re: Re: Quality of Cisco exams [7:38063]

2002-03-12 Thread John Neiberger

By that reasoning Cisco should put Appletalk, IPX, X.25, ATM 
LANE, and even Decnet back into their exams.  

On a certification exam, I don't think it's helpful to have a 
number of questions on equipment that Cisco doesn't even sell 
anymore.  I'm not saying there shouldn't be any, but if they're 
going to go through the trouble of creating a new exam, it 
might be helpful not to focus too much on older products and 
technologies.

Maybe they should come up with a CCNA-Legacy certification that 
would include questions specific to the AGS routers and IOS 
10.0. :-)

Besides, my point wasn't based on just this issue.  I base my 
opinion on having taken eight Cisco exams and seeing firsthand 
the quality of their questions.  It's readily apparent that 
many of them contain a large number of poorly written questions 
and/or poorly written answers.  

But, that's just my opinion, and that's barely worth the paper 
it's printed on.  :-)

Regards,
John

Passed Final Exam for CCNP ( Support ) [7:38018]

2002-03-12 Thread Robert Fowler

Hello,
 
I figured I'd let everyone know I've passed my final exam for my CCNP. Below
are answers to FAQ. Please note they are my personal opinions, not general
consensus.
 
1.  What order did you take the tests?
 
CCNA (07/00)
Switching (11/00)
Routing (04/01)
Remote Access (10/01)
Support (03/02)
 
2.  Why so long between the tests, did you fail any? 
 
I've never failed an exam in my life. I've taken 13 so far. I study for each
one and make sure I'm prepared. Unfortunately due to work, other obligations
and procrastination I didn't pass them sooner. It does make things more
difficult in some ways, but since I work with Cisco equipment daily, it
helps me keep fresh. 
 
3.  Which exams were the hardest?
 
They are listed easiest to hardest.
CCNA 
Switching
Remote Access
Support 
Routing
 
Support was more difficult than it had to be, since I waited so long between
tests and it has content based on knowing those other areas.
 
4.  What books and study methods did you use?
 
CCNA - Sybex
Switching - CiscoPress
Routing - CiscoPress
Remote Access - CiscoPress and ExamCram
Support - Sybex
 
Everything was self-study and on the job experience. I also use
brainbuzz.com for a final review before taking the test to make sure I
didn't miss anything, overall I wasn't too impressed with their content
though. Reading about how other people passed did help to give me
confidence. Each person will find a different study method that works for
them. I've never taken a training class for any of my certifications.
 
5.  How many years of experience do you have?
 
8 Years of IT experience as follows:
3 Years, Routing and Switching firewalls etc
3 Years, Servers RAS etc
2 Years, Desktop Support, Computer builds, Retail computer sales
 
6.  What's next?
 
Tough decision, I need to upgrade my MCSE (UGGG) since I still have to use
those skills. However I think the CCIE is of much more benefit to me. I have
to make sure I'm committed and really study for the CCIE. My work is going
to have training for the W2K stuff for our entire group so I've got to learn
it one way or the other. I'm going to try and get some training such as a
CCIE bootcamp. If anyone knows of a good bootcamp let me know. I'm leaning
toward pursuing my CCIE, but it'll be a tough road. I don't believe in
quitting, so if I start down that road I know I won't quit, but the high
probability of Lab failure frightens me. I hate to fail anything. 
 
7.  Did you get a raise etc?
 
Nope, as a matter of fact no one in our department is getting a raise at all
this year. I guess some of us are just happy to have a job. We were told we
should get year-end bonuses this year, something we didn't get last year.
 
8.  Who paid for the training etc?
 
The last few tests my employer has paid for, but the books I've paid for
simply so that they belong to me and I can keep them for reference.
 
 
 
I hope that helps anyone out there studying. Keep at it. The tests
themselves weren't as hard as I would have hoped. Passing on them is about
700 on a scale of 300 to 1000. That's pretty low, but at the same time the
quality of the questions was inferior to other exams. If you have a good
reading comprehension level you can probably gain 100 points off just that.
Maybe that's a skill they are looking for in certified people though. 
 
 
Robert Fowler - And here they are. A+ MCSE CCNP

SOHO vpn making satellite connection VERY VERY slo [7:38059]

2002-03-12 Thread Jerry Deer

To make our vpn connection work the satellite/isp provider had to open
certain ports to make our vpn connections work in the first place . does
anyone have any ideas as to what they may have blocked or not configured
correctly to make the connection so unbearable slow? I know our watchgaurd
sohos will bring connection speed down some but we have 128k vpns that are
running a lot faster then this satellite connection and as i mentioned
before the satellite connection shows connections speeds of avg 700k before
adding the vpn units.
Thanks for ANY help,

RE: CCIE lab time in Los Angeles [7:38052]

2002-03-12 Thread Ouellette, Tim

$220 for an 8 hour timeslot.  That about $200 more than i'd pay.  Anyone
looking for time can look on ebay and all the other recommended labtime
providers. Granted, your accessing it remotely but most of them will charge
a $10 setup or something like that and will cable per your specs (or
whatever lab you happen to be doing)

Put it this way. For $220 I can get myself a 2501 off of ebay. Glad to hear
you would "allow people people to come in and meet yourself". 

Also, I'm sure most people on here would consider this advertising and that
you could possibly be banned for that. This is a study group.  I apologize
if I seemed offensive but I just got off a 2 hour phone call with a cisco
tac engineer who was not up to par with some of the others i've dealt with
in the past.

Subject: CCIE lab time in Los Angeles [7:38052]


I'm trying to convince my company to set up a lab suitable for studying for
the CCIE lab here in Los Angeles, CA.

I want to gauge the interest in practice lab time.  If I set up a lab with
the required equipment, who would be interested in buying time slots of lab
time?  We would offer it for $220 for 8 hour time slots and allow people to
come in and meet myself and other people studying for the lab.  We could
also talk about our experiences with various lab preparation books or
courses.

Are there interested parties out there?

Re: Quality of Cisco exams [7:38063]

2002-03-12 Thread Tshon

I think that what your missing is that.  Cisco is trying to one prepare 
you for anything that
is out there, equipment that happens to be at end of life doesn't 
gaurantee that you
won't see it out there.  They are trying to make sure that you are 
prepared to represent
their company.  Secondly if you don't have any understanding about the 
equipment
and you run into it, what's your suggestion just replace it, it 
might work perfectly well, but we'll
replace it because you aren't familiar  The test and the labs as 
John knows are not
if he's taken the CCIE lab, are not hard they are over lots of 
technology that has been around.
the same old situations exist with new ones.  And you need to be 
prepared for it all, in the
end you need to be prepared to use your resources and understand 
quickly.  A company
might be losing or wasting money because of you.  So, why whine the test 
shows you
what you didn't know that is what a test does.  Go back and bone up, 
then you'll
pass.

Re: EIGRP Metric and Route inconcistence [7:38043]

2002-03-12 Thread Tshon

I'm not sure I understand your entire question.  But, I hope this 
helps... you have to many formulas.

What the recommendation states is that if you are running other routing 
protocols like ospf who
takes its decisions based on bandwidth statements then you shouldn't 
change them, because it
will also affect ospf.

But here think about this you could change the K values for Eigrp, to 
only look at delay.
then adjust the delay for what you wish.

Re: Loopback Interfaces... [7:37933]

2002-03-12 Thread Tshon

What in the world is the question about, what are you trying to do. 
 Ping the remote routers, they have a serial
interface that you can ping, or the ethernet.  Why do you need a 
loopback, what routing protocol are you
running, where is a config?  We can't figure out what you are talking 
about, we need your help to help you.

Re: Quality of Cisco exams [7:38063]

2002-03-12 Thread John Neiberger

If Cisco is asking questions about products that have been 
EOLed then they need to get some new test authors.  :-)  I just 
don't understand the difficulty in creating a decent test.

Here's a suggestion for Cisco:

Follow this list and the CCIE list for a week.  Compile a list 
of the top 30 posters, with special considerations for the 
people who tend to answer most often.  From that list, randomly 
pick ten, then pay them to write 30 test questions each.

I promise you that the end result would be 300 questions that 
are higher quality than a majority of the questions Cisco has 
on their current exams.  Repeat this process for each new exam 
needed.

Now _that_ would be a killer beta test!

Regards,
John

Heh, for only about $240,000 list you too can own a 1 port oc-192 POS card
for a 124xx series GSR that will do not only PPP and HDLC over sonet, but
also frame relay encapsulation...
 
Seriously though, we aren't ready for 10Gig yet, but when the time comes I'm
considering using 10 Gig E between our core routers instead.  I'm not sure
how serious I am about that, but the line cards will be less than half the
cost.  Anyone other SPs out there considering that?

2002-03-12 Thread Tshon

Show us your configs.  Also, I remember there was something I heard once
That pinging a frame interface is actually sent out the interface before 
responding.
which meant that the traffic goes out on the circuit and is sent back
like I said some typ of rumor.  I would check the CCO and it should 
explain it in
more detail.

Quality of Cisco exams [7:38063]

2002-03-12 Thread Robert Padjen

Greetings all -

I have a discussion point that I am curious to get
feedback on from the group. I recently took another
Cisco certification exam (beta) and was amazed at the
questions.

For example, at least four questions regarded products
that no longer exist - Cisco end-of-lifed them some
time ago. Other questions included choices that don't
exist - at least I am unaware of a (sic) series router
for serial connections (it was a switch that does not
have a WIC slot). Still more questions had no
reasonable way to answer them without having
previously read or learned specific Cisco materials.

My observation is that this is bad for us as
certification holders. And, since we pay for the tests
and represent to our employers that they represent a
certain level of professionalism, I think I have a
real issue. The issues are not complaints regarding
poor writing or syntax on the exam, although I am
concerned about this for non-native English speakers
taking the English exam. Rather, I am concerned that
the test is outdated even when its in beta. This is
not the first test (production or beta) that I have
noted this with. I still haven't seen tests on MPLS,
VPN, 4224 switches, IMA, etc., yet this would seem to
be relevant on the CCNP/DP exams.

Please share your thoughts.

BTW - If this is considered an OT item please
disregard. It is my hope to gain some understanding
and then address the issue with Cisco if there is
agreement that there is an issue. As the content of
the tests is of concern to all of us I hope that the
potential benefits are valued.

Re: Frame-Relay encapsulation issue [7:38061]

2002-03-12 Thread John Neiberger

With this sort of configuration you won't be able to ping your 
own interface.  It may seem counter-intuitive at first but the 
problem is that the router doing the pinging doesn't have a 
frame relay map for its own IP address.  With the point-to-
point interface you had originally this is not an issue.

When you ping your own serial interface the packet usually goes 
to remote router first, gets bounced back to the local router 
which then replies to the opposite side, which bounces the 
reply back to the originating router.  This process won't work 
if the originating router doesn't know where to send the first 
packet.

This is normal behavior for this sort of configuration and 
nothing to be concerned about.

HTH,
John

Frame-Relay encapsulation issue [7:38061]

All,
   I am stumped by some behavior I am seeing in my lab when testing
frame-relay.  I have a 4000 configured as a frame switch; nothing special,
just the standard frame-relay route commands necessary to switch the traffic
between two other routers (we'll call them rtrA & rtrB, for clarity.) On
rtrA, I have configured a physical interface with a map statement.  On rtrB,
I have configured a P2P sub-interface with a "frame-relay interface dlci
xxx" statement (you can't use a map statement on a P2P interface, the router
complains).  All works fine, and I can ping rtrB and rtrA from rtrA and vice
versa (In other words, I can ping my own interface and the remote interface
on both routers).  Here's where it gets weird...If I delete the P2P
interface on rtrB, reload to get rid of the residue, then reconfigure the
router with a multipoint sub-interface and a map statement, I can still ping
rtrA just fine, but I lose the ability to ping rtrB from rtrB itself (i.e.
pinging my own interface)  I lose the ability to ping rtrA's interface from
rtrA at this point as well.  Debug output shows the typical "encapsulation
failed" error, but I'm at a loss as to why I can ping the remote router, but
not my own interface?  Anyone have any thoughts?  I'm sure I'm missing

I think you would be surprised how many people do not know what conf t
really means.  Forcing people to use the full command makes them learn more
about
what it does.  We all should at least know what the full command does, then
and only then should we use the abbreviated versions

While you're buying your lab, would you mind buying me an Adtran Atlass 550
or 800 with ISDN and T1 cards while your at it :)

You can get one for yourself too if you wannoo... That'll take care of your
Frame/ISDN switch...

Seriously, If you have the cash, build the lab... You may not resell it for
what you paid for it... but I personally think that the Lab Kit should
become a permanent fixture in your home... you'll always find a task that
you'll want to try out at home first, and if you do any freelance work on
the side, it helps with that too.  I'm sure there will be a few things that
you'll grow rusty on for lack of just doing them on a regular basis... and
the Home Kit helps you to go back and refresh yourself at your leisure.

I'm 28, and I sure wished I'd have had a complete personal lab at your
age... It's taken me the last 3 years to build up the 4 router and
Switch-on-loan lab that I have, and it's still not complete.

You'll have plenty of time and money for Fast Cars when you get yourself
established in your career of course, that'll also depend on your
money-management skills :)

Good luck with your Networking Career... and welcome to the List!!

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post..I'm currently studying for the CCNP, I have passed
Switching and Routing and are presently studying BCRAN which I hope to sit
on the 4th of April.
I work for a company who outsource all the WAN infrastructure, they are
looking at bringing the WAN inside for myself and another member of staff to
work on late Novemeber..

As I'm going through my CCNP with my very modest Lab (missing Frame Relay
Switch and ISDN kit) I'm passing without a issue, but am really now toying
with the idea of spending alot of money on building myself a complete lab
(Cat5k, Frame Relay Switch, ISDN, Token).. I can spend $10,000 AU.. Cisco is
something that I want to really pursue but I'm unsure if in my current
position Ill ever get to really get dirty with this stuff, or if I should
build a huge lab for myself at Home and look for a new position later in the
year when I have built up my practical skills..

I know the investment would be worthwhile, and I have a passion to acheive
my CCNP and CCIE...
Should I invest the money in this hardware or do what I was going to do, and
buy a really fast car...
I need to spend a bit to get my lab off the ground..

Speaking to Albert Lu, he really recommends buying the kit!
I'm very confused a college says I dont need any lab for my CCNP and just to
wait until I'm ready for my CCIE..

Any advice please! I'm 21 years of age and have my CNE, CNA, CCA, CCNA

Thankyou!

*confused*

RE: Where to go.. [7:38031]

2002-03-12 Thread Daniel Cotts

Financially a car is one of the worst investments that a person can make.
Sometimes we do things just because... 
An investment in Cisco equipment could be an investment in your future. It's
a given that almost all CCIE candidates have a lab. IMHO anyone who wants to
increase their skill set needs access to a lab. At issue is where that lab
is located: at work, a remote for hire lab, or at one's home. Some of us
like to touch the equipment. Like the ability to wire up a scenario.
If you decide to buy, then be patient. Have a dream lab in your mind. Buy
items as you need them or as great bargains appear. Consider whether or not
you will sell the equipment after attaining CCIE.
Good luck.

CCIE lab time in Los Angeles [7:38052]

2002-03-12 Thread Seto Leo

I'm trying to convince my company to set up a lab suitable for studying for
the CCIE lab here in Los Angeles, CA.

I want to gauge the interest in practice lab time.  If I set up a lab with
the required equipment, who would be interested in buying time slots of lab
time?  We would offer it for $220 for 8 hour time slots and allow people to
come in and meet myself and other people studying for the lab.  We could
also talk about our experiences with various lab preparation books or courses.

Are there interested parties out there?

Send me an email if so,

Aironet 350 Wireless Security Question [7:38051]

2002-03-12 Thread Charlie Wehner

How safe am I if I'm using the aironet 350 Series access points running the
following:

-version 11.10T
-EAP authentication with a Radius server
-MIC enabled
-Broadcast Key Rotation 
-WEP with key hashing

Does anyone know any good links that give a 'very' detailed explanation of
how the 'WEP key hashing' works?

Also, does Cisco have any VPN-based or one-time password wireless solutions
available?  I mean, it seems like everyday... I get a different answer as to
which wireless security models are secure and which aren't.

Thanks,

Subject:Loopback Interfaces... [7:37933]


Just when I  thought I understood Loopback interfaces, I decided while
redesigning a network, that I would use them but now I'm questioning 
my
comprehension.

Somebody clear the confusion for me- Please.


This is what I'm wanting to do, but not sure if this is proper 
utilization,
much less whether or not it will work:



RouterHQ connecting to 3 Remote Routers (branch offices) via FR Pvt 
Network
RouterHQ has 2 Ethernet Interfaces, but the Remotes Do NOTThey only 
have
one.
(I think without pause: "No Problem, I can just create a Loopback 
interface
to take care of the other subnet.")
JMcL: What other subnet are we talking about here? /JMcL

The FR Pvt Network is only for Voice Traffic, while all data traffice will
be going out another interface that is using IP UnNumbered Interface
FastEthernet0. 
JMcL: Do you mean Ethernet0, or do you mean FastEthernet when you say 
Ethernet elsewhere, or what? /JMcL

Here is where my quandry lays.  I can't create a Secondary address, 
JMcL: To do what? /JMcL
as I believe the IP UnNumbered command will use the primary address on the
Ethernet Interface.

So, can I create a Loopback interface, and treate it like a Ethernet
interface, as such that I can assign an IP to the Loopback interface, but 
it
have a /24 mask, and other devices on the local network can also be keyed
for the same subnet as the Loopback, making it where I can give the 
command
IP UnNumbered Lo0 to a Serial SubInterface??

JMcL: I am not sure exactly why you are wanting to create the loopback in 
the first place.  Is it so that you have two numbered interfaces to match 
to your two IP unnumbered serial sub-interfaces (am I correct in thinking 
you want two ip unnumbered serials?  One for voice and one for data?)
I must admit I've never tried it, but do you *need* two separate numbered 
interfaces, or can you just point both unnumbered interfaces at your 
single Ethernet/Fast Ethernet interface? /JMcL

I thought I could, but then got concerned when I hopped on CCO, and did a
lookup on Loopback interfaces, and read a blurb about traffic NOT destined
for the LoopBack Interface itself will be routed to 'ye old trashcan' 
i.e.,
Null Interface.

Somebody please tell me that I can send traffic from one end of the 
circuit
to the other and have it destined for a node OTHER than the Loopback
Interface with that node being on the same subnet as the Loopback 
interface.

JMcL: I don't really understand what you're trying to do or why - maybe a 
slightly more coherent explanation is required?  Or maybe I just need 
another cuppa? /JMcL

Thanks.

Mark

Your right! I havent had alot of exp yet, although I get my hands into the
Switching all day! on a mix of 3548's and 6509's..

I think ill take your advice and get my NP out of the road, then I can look
at spending some serious money on a good lab. I really like trying things in
the lab as I read them as I feel configuring it makes alot more sense
instead of just reading, as im doing BCRAN configuring multilink and isdn
isnt a option, although I hope to lease a NM-4T for a 2600 I have so I can
at least play with FR.

Thanks for your advice, ill get a lab i think once ive finished my NP

EIGRP Metric and Route inconcistence [7:38043]

2002-03-12 Thread Hans PHAM

Hi,

By default EIGRP uses 2 metric: Bandwidth and Delay to calculate routes. It
is recomended that we should not change the Actual Bandwith, but we can
change the interface delay for the traffic enginering purposes.

The metric is :  Min Bandwidth + Cumulative Delay.

This can end up with a problem of "route non-consiste1nce". Here is my
counter example:

R2
   /  \
  /\
R1  R4-R5
  \/
   \  /
R3


Link
1-2 : Bandwidth = 10M, delay = 10ms
2-4 : Bandwidth = 20M, delay = 5ms
1-3 : Bandwidth = 20M, delay = 15ms
3-4 : Bandwidth = 20M, delay = 5ms

4-5 : Bandwidth = 10M, delay = 10ms

The traffic from R1 to a network directly connected to R4 will be load
balance between routes R1-R2-R4 and R1-R3-R4. because the Metric of the two
routes are the same:

R1-R2-R4 = Bandwidth (i.e. 10^7 / 1) + Delay (i.e 1000  + 500) = = 1000
+ 1000 + 500 = 2500

R1-R3-R4 = 500 + 1500 + 500 = 2500

However, traffic from R1 heading for R5 is not load-balanced because the
Metric R1-R2-R4-R5 is 3500 while the metric R1-R3-R4-R5 = 4000

that means all traffic from R1 -> R5 will go via R2

That's is a kind of inconcistence, which may lead to bottleneck, and cause
difficulty for traffic engineering.

Could you please tell me if I am wrong or right ? 

If I am right, how we can overcome this problem.


Thanks a lot.

This is really funny :)

I don't think it's a sign that the industry doesn't acknowledge CCIEs as
all-round experts anymore (hopefully not anyway!) I think the word "junior"
is just to justify the relatively low salary range they're offering (in
California).

Re: Where to go.. [7:38031]

2002-03-12 Thread David A Goddard

Kris,

  I didn't buy a lab until I started studying for the CCIE lab. I passed the
CCNA, CCNP, CCDA, CCDP, and CCIE written without a home lab (though I did
get good experience at work). I really feel that all of these tests are more
"knowledge" tests rather than "practical" tests (please no flames, just my 2
cents).

  Also, I have spent quite a bit of $$$ on my lab. Many people recommend
buying rack time, as it has gotten very inexpensive these days. I justified
buying a lab to myself for with two main reasons:

1) I can test something on my home lab before suggesting it to my client.
2) I can keep my skills sharp when I'm not working.

  I recommend getting the NA, DA, NP, DP, and written knocked out before
investing much. Maybe some online rack time for these studies would be an
option, and wait until your ready to prepare for the lab to spend the $$$.
The cost of equipment goes down every week, new technologies and equipment
comes out all the time, and the industry focus seems to change slightly over
time.

hth,
Dave

Where to go.. [7:38031]

2002-03-12 Thread Kris Keen

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post..I'm currently studying for the CCNP, I have passed
Switching and Routing and are presently studying BCRAN which I hope to sit
on the 4th of April.
I work for a company who outsource all the WAN infrastructure, they are
looking at bringing the WAN inside for myself and another member of staff to
work on late Novemeber..

As I'm going through my CCNP with my very modest Lab (missing Frame Relay
Switch and ISDN kit) I'm passing without a issue, but am really now toying
with the idea of spending alot of money on building myself a complete lab
(Cat5k, Frame Relay Switch, ISDN, Token).. I can spend $10,000 AU.. Cisco is
something that I want to really pursue but I'm unsure if in my current
position Ill ever get to really get dirty with this stuff, or if I should
build a huge lab for myself at Home and look for a new position later in the
year when I have built up my practical skills..

I know the investment would be worthwhile, and I have a passion to acheive
my CCNP and CCIE...
Should I invest the money in this hardware or do what I was going to do, and
buy a really fast car...
I need to spend a bit to get my lab off the ground..

Speaking to Albert Lu, he really recommends buying the kit! 
I'm very confused a college says I dont need any lab for my CCNP and just to
wait until I'm ready for my CCIE..

Any advice please! I'm 21 years of age and have my CNE, CNA, CCA, CCNA

Thankyou!

*confused*

parsing error for SNMP packets [7:38030]

2002-03-12 Thread amanda lalli-cafini

Good Day All,

I am having some problems retreiving SNMP information from one of my routers
here.

As long as I send an SNMP get to the IP address of the dialer interface, the
router returns the required information.

If I send the same SNMP get request to the Ethernet interface or the
loopback interface,  the request times out.

I setup debug SNMP packets on the router and performed the SNMP get commands
again to the router.

The router sent the required information for the dialer interface and
returned a "parsing error' for both the ethernet interface and the loopback
interface.

Has anyone ever dealth with anything like this before?

regards,


amanda

PPP Multilink on Channelized DS3 [7:38029]

2002-03-12 Thread Fraasch James

I was wondering if anyone has been able to PPP Multilink multiple channels
of a DS3 going into a 7206 (or other Cisco router).  I have multilinked
multiple T1's going to seperate serial interfaces but have not tried to do
it on a channelized DS3.  Initial search on Cisco's site does not give me
much to go on.  The DS3 terminates directly into the router itself and we
are currently using 12 channels for different connections. I would like to
use two more channels to link up a new site.

Thanks in advance.

James

Re: Loopback Interfaces... [7:37933]

2002-03-12 Thread Brian Lodwick

This has got to be the most confusing message I have ever read.
A loopback interface is just a virtual interface. It's not a real interface
it's just a virtual interface you can create within the router, and you can
create as many as you want.
The biggest reason someone would want to use a loopback interface would be
for resiliency. If you build a certain session to the loopback interface
(BGP, DLSW...) and you have more than one path to reach this router the
session will not die if a certain interface dies.

RE: The CCNA exam has changed effective 3-12-02 [7:37960]

2002-03-12 Thread Logan, Harold

The simulation that's on the web page is from a POS simulator they did
for the Network Academies; I doubt that's the same simulator that will
wind up on the tests. I looked around in the certification online
support and found this:

Command Lines 
 
  Question 
  What is the proper way to enter command lines during Cisco Career
Certification exams? 
 
  Answer 
  There are many ways to enter command lines into actual Cisco Routers.
The exam will accept all IOS commands and partial responses that an
actual Cisco Router will understand. For example: 'Show Config' or 'Sho
Config' or 'Sh Conf' - would be acceptable. 'Router # show ip protocol'
or 'router # show ip prot' - would be acceptable. The commands must
include the correct spacing, spelling and marks (#@!). 

I'd post a link, but it's through their "RightNow" deal and the word
wrap would pretty much kill it. If you want to read it, go to the online
support page at:

http://ciscocert.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ciscocert.cfg/php/enduser/home.php

(watch the wrap)

and search for "enter command lines".

hth,
Hal

Re: The CCNA exam has changed effective 3-12-02 [7:37960]

2002-03-12 Thread Tom Lisa

The simulations they demo are the same type and topology configuration that
we use in
our academy curriculum.  Anyone wishing to practice them can get the
software by
purchasing one of the Academy Companion Guides (Year 1 or Year 2) from Cisco
Press.  The
simulations are on the CD that comes with the books, which are also
excellent study
references.

As Harold Logan pointed out, you have the option in the exam simulators to
enter the
full or partial command, unlike the simulator on the CDs.  It is the old
learn to walk
before you run philosophy.  As others have mentioned, I would think
simulations for the
CCNP exams can't be far away.

In order to avoid getting caught up in the terminology (and risk that

NAT Order of Operation [7:38021]

2002-03-12 Thread John Neiberger

Someone just posted something on the CCIE list and while researching the
answer I found this page:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/556/5.html 

After looking at that page, it appears to me that it's safe to say the
if you're in an environment that uses both NAT and Policy-Based Routing,
the IP addresses you use in the policy maps are _always_ local
addresses, either inside local or outside local.  Is that correct?  It
seems that it would never be the case where you'd use an outside local
or outside global address within a route map.

Is that a true statement?

Thanks,
John

Why would the exam simulator give you the help option? And you should

The simulators from www.CiscoPress.com and www.RouterSim.com do support
the help command and abbreviated commands. But nothing beats real

OK this answered my question. If my only choice is a T1 PRI, then I
don't have to worry about things not working. Like my router and
firewall, I was just thinking it was something out of the ordinary. I
need just a regular T1 for internet access, and wasn't sure what PRI
was. And if a CAS only does voice, that would not work for what I am
doing. I was thinking that if it was a T1 PRI I would need some special

T-1 is the layer 1 standard.  ISDN PRI uses T-1 for layer 1
connectivity. 
Therefore, whenever you say ISDN PRI, you are referring to T-1.
However,
not all T-1's are ISDN PRI.

The "other" T-1 is referred to as CAS, channel associated signaling and,
as
far as I know, is only used for voice.  It allows 24 channels of sampled
voice.  ISDN PRI (aka common channel signaling) is a digital standard
and
supports 23 64k "B" channels (that can carry voice or data) and 1 64k
"D"
channel that carries control information.  Voice over ISDN PRI has the
advantage of a dedicated control channel for troubleshooting and
additional
call information from the telephone provider.  However, it has 1 less
channel.

So if you are ordering a data T-1, your only choice is ISDN PRI.

I am being told to get a T1 (PRI). But I have to implement it to replace
our ADSL. So for now with an T1 (PRI) I can just use a standard Cisco
Router and CSU/DSU for the T1, and in the future, If I wanted to break
it up, I could use a demultiplexor if I wanted to use the channels for
something else? Initially its just my site and the ISP. Thanks for your

This is not quite right.  Yes, ISDN PRI is physically a channelized T-1.
 In this case you have 23 data bearing channels and one signalling
channel.

For data, you can order a channelized T-1 if you need to.  This gives
you 24 channels available for data, but they are entirely separate
channels.  This probably isn't very common.  You will see this sort of
thing with a DS3 quite a lot, though.  For example, we have a few
channelized DS3s coming into our building here.  On our end we
demultiplex them, splitting them out to their individual DS1 channels.

The other data option which is most common is a clear channel T-1. 
This is not channelized and provides a single 'channel' at 1.544 Mbps. 
If you were to order a point-to-point circuit between locations, this is
what you'd order.

2002-03-12 Thread sam sneed

I still think it would be a waste to memorize the entire command. In the
real world you get the ? option so what point in memorizing everything.
They're better off testing us on harder configs than making us type out the
whole command and memorize the exact options. The CCNA is entry level and is
not bound to any specific hardware or IOS version. We all know that commands
are slightly different on the various routers and switches so it only makes
sense to give the ? option.
(example look at the difference in creating vlans on a 1900, 3500XL, and
2948GL-3)
There is no CCIE that would be able to survive  day without the ? option
just the same as there is no UNIX admin that would get by without typing man
"  "   or using some form of the -h option.

I've used both simulators from the sites you referred to ... and though they
give a little exposure, I found for the most part that they still were lame.
30-40% of the commands that the tutorials tell you to give in the simulator
don't actually work.  And you get a verrry limited help on only the commands
that the tutorial session is covering.  If you wanted to query help for a
command in a previous lab simulation, your S.O.L it doesn't allow it.

A personal gripe for the Switching CIM: It doesn't cover MLS :(  I would
expect this to be a more important topic of the subject than configuring
Multicast.  How many Small to Medium networks do you see using Multicast (I
know I haven't)... How many Small to Medium networks do you see using
MLS (I've seen at least a couple of those).

But... you are quite correct... Nothing beats the real equipment!

a T1 is a physical layer circuit.  ISDN's PRI is technology that rides 
inside a T1.
So you could have a T1 between two sites in a point to point setup,
or You could have a PRI that forms a point to point when dialed across 
any of its B channels,
between to sites
what you have is a T1 between you and a telco (isdn) switch and your 
site.  This
connects you to the toll switched network or PSTN cloud.  At the cloud you
can make a call on any of the 23 B channels a B channel is 64k but there 
is another
channel which is the D channel, taking up the last 64k channel.  A T1 
has 24 channels.

John,

You make a good point that channelized T-1s are all but unheard of. 
However, the term "clear channel" doesn't mean unchannelized.  It means that
the DS0s are the full 64 kbps, as opposed to the older bit-robbed 56 kbps DS0.

RE: T1 Vs ISDN PR [7:37983]

2002-03-12 Thread s vermill

Tarek,

Good point about the overuse of the term "T-1."  Generically, DS-1 (digital
signal level 1) implies a particular structure (24 x 64 kbps DS0s, etc)
while T-1 refers to the facility (bipolar transmission of 1.544 Mbps, line
code, etc).  There are finer points to be debated about the distinction
between the two, but suffice it to say that T-1 does not necessarily imply
DS-1 (although the two are somewhat synonomous in my world) and it certainly
doesn't apply to ISDN PRI exclusively.

RE: T1 Vs ISDN PR [7:37983]

2002-03-12 Thread John Neiberger

This is not quite right.  Yes, ISDN PRI is physically a channelized T-1.
 In this case you have 23 data bearing channels and one signalling
channel.

For data, you can order a channelized T-1 if you need to.  This gives
you 24 channels available for data, but they are entirely separate
channels.  This probably isn't very common.  You will see this sort of
thing with a DS3 quite a lot, though.  For example, we have a few
channelized DS3s coming into our building here.  On our end we
demultiplex them, splitting them out to their individual DS1 channels.

The other data option which is most common is a clear channel T-1. 
This is not channelized and provides a single 'channel' at 1.544 Mbps. 
If you were to order a point-to-point circuit between locations, this is
what you'd order.

HTH,
John

>>> "Chris Charlebois"  3/12/02 12:43:03 PM >>>
T-1 is the layer 1 standard.  ISDN PRI uses T-1 for layer 1
connectivity. 
Therefore, whenever you say ISDN PRI, you are referring to T-1. 
However,
not all T-1's are ISDN PRI.

The "other" T-1 is referred to as CAS, channel associated signaling
and, as
far as I know, is only used for voice.  It allows 24 channels of
sampled
voice.  ISDN PRI (aka common channel signaling) is a digital standard
and
supports 23 64k "B" channels (that can carry voice or data) and 1 64k
"D"
channel that carries control information.  Voice over ISDN PRI has the
advantage of a dedicated control channel for troubleshooting and
additional
call information from the telephone provider.  However, it has 1 less
channel.

So if you are ordering a data T-1, your only choice is ISDN PRI.

RE: T1 Vs ISDN PR [7:37983]

2002-03-12 Thread s vermill

I'm afraid that isn't so.  You can order channelized and non-channelized
T-1s to do whatever you want with.  So there is a big difference between an
ISDN PRI (and all of the associate ISDN stuff - D channel, etc) and a
run-of-the-mill T-1 (and its total lack thereof).  Placing a CSU/DSU on the
end of a T-1 gives you access to 24 x 64 kbps timeslots.  Often times there
is but one port, providing you with a single <= 1.536 kbps serial data
stream.  Also, multiport models are available, and you can divide the
timeslots as necessary between the ports.  In some rare cases, the end user
equipment is built with a T-1 interface and connects directly to the telco
local loop.

The use of T-1s by telcos for bearing voice is the historical one.

No but ISDN PRI and T1 PRI ARE used interchangeably. You need to distinguish
between 2 things here: T1 PRI and T1 CAS (Channel-Associated Signalling). So
T1 is used to describe the rate of the line here. A better way is to use the
term DS1 because T1 actually refers to the signalling scheme.

Normally when people refer to just "T1", they mean T1 CAS.

Re: BGP issue ??? [7:37730]

2002-03-12 Thread Brian Lodwick

Yes, unless you have an IGP running between these peers.
Since BGP uses a TCP session it will first have to established this TCP
connection before routing updates can be distributed between peers.
(carriage in front of the horse syndrome)
If you do not have the static route OR an underlying way (IGP) for the
router to learn how to get to that loopback address on the other peer the
BGP TCP session will never establish and no BGP updates will occur.

T1 Vs ISDN PR [7:37983]

2002-03-12 Thread Brian Zeitz

Is there any drawbacks to getting a T1 PRI vs. a regular T1 (I think
that's called channelized). I am not sure of the drawbacks of using PRI,
with VPN, and things like that work fine over PRI? Is PRI just like a
regular T1? The reason I am asking is I tried to get a T1 and I was told
I could only get PRI ISDN. Any help or links for this would be
appreciated.
