Re: Cisco VPN client and NAT/PAT [7:45473]
Hi
Also make sure if you are using XP, disable the firewall feature in your LAN
Connection for your cable modem.
I had the same problem with XP, my vpn client connects but i cannot ping or
map my servers, after i disable the firewall feature it works fine.
i'm using vpn client 3.5.1.

Is the cable/dsl modem also doing any sort of firewalling or NAT'ting? If
so, open holes for IPSec and/or turn off firewall functionality on the
cable/adsl modem and/or create a static translation for the workstation on

Re: teaching CCNA [7:45489]
Priscilla, I'm fairly certain that you will need to know something about the Cat 1900 switch. I've been teaching CCNA as a CCAI for a couple of months now and we have a rack of equipment purchased from Cisco consisting of 5 x Cisco 2500's and 2 x 1900 switches. We have a Lab Topology setup that is used throughout Sem II Sem III which utilises this equipment. This lab Setup is the very same that appears in the 'diagram' questions on the #640-607. A typical question would be 'Host A cannot see Host E' Why ? You then have to diagnose the diagram/network within 15 minutes using Cisco IOS or clicking on the PC to get its config or clicking on the switch etc. The 1900 is menu driven but you can drop out to command line mode, which I would recommend. Not sure if you can use abbreviations. Probably wouldn't risk it bacause of possible typo bugs in the software. It may well have been lifted from the source code of the IOS and cross-compiled, but I'd stick to the full command just in case. Token Ring hasn't been covered in any detail. Just mention it in comparison to Ethernet i.e 802.5 v 802.3, deterministic v non-deterministic but don't go into any real detail.

RE: teaching CCNA [7:45489]
I ended up taking the 607 test twice (test crashed the first time after I completed it and the score report was nothing but uninterpreted PCL code) and neither time did I have any questions which specifically related to the Cat 1900. The router simulator does allow you to use abbreviations. Just not the ones from IOS 11.x :) Something that I thought was interesting was that they even managed to make it slow. Even though I was on a PIII, when it came time to save, it still took a few seconds to build the configuration, just like you'd find on an old 2500.

No offense, but all this talk about paper certs vs. 'real deserving certs' is in my opinion foolish!!! No matter how people get certified, they are working hard for it. Of course you have to read books in order to get certified. That is what testing in ALL educational facilities is based on. I could just see professors in College saying, Don't read the math book. Just do math and take the tests, or else you will be a paper graduate. It is ridiculous!!! The fact of the matter is, there is a lot to be learned by experience. There is also a lot to be learned by reading and studying. There are things an experienced person will not know that a 'reader' will know. There are things that a 'reader' will not know that an experienced person will know. All in all, the certification is just another asset a person has to make him or herself more marketable!

I know people will get it yes but I don't want it to be a paper cert like some people have CCNP/DPs and don't know anything about OSPF or VLANS. Just gets me sad. Part of the reason I got this cert last year was because there weren't any boson or study aides yet. It was a better test that way. Of course I was already doing security so that is besides the point. Finally I thought I could have a more unique Cisco cert without killing myself ie CCIE. I'm not the only one with it. Here in Japan, my boss was first and my current co-worker was second. Perhaps I was number 10 or something. (I was the 5th CISSP here).

Most of them work for Juniper and they are not going to make it any easier then it is to steal them. Juniper is probably like cisco was in the early days. The best way to get a good engineer is to steal them from Juniper. I already answered this privately to you. I'll spare the newsgroups the details, but the short answer is contacts and back-channels. For example, clearly Juniper the company will not give out such information in a formal request. But let's just say that if you know the right people, you should be able to get this information in an unofficial capacity without much problem. And anyway, if your job is recruiting, it's your job to make sure you know the right people. As far a knowing someone that has always been a factor.

I see this mistake being made time and time again, and not just with Juniper/Cisco, but also with Windows vs. UNIX, or things like that. Besides, I would also add 2 points to the equation: #1) The problem with looking just a job boards to gauge demand. The simple fact is, most jobs are not publicly advertised. Surely you've seen the studies from CNN that have shown that 90% of all available jobs are never publicly posted, and are obtained just by knowing the right people and employee referrals.Companies seem to prefer things this way because it is a better quality-check than soliciting a mass of resumes (i.e., an employee is unlikely to refer somebody that he knows to be bad because if that guy is hired and flames out, that employee would be professionally embarrassed). How this impacts something like Juniper (or UNIX or whatever) is that it seems that the high-end jobs are more likely to not be publicly posted because it seems that the more high-end and important the job (and on average, a Juniper job tends to be higher-end than the average Cisco job), the more quality-checks you need. I believe this is why you hardly ever see public postings for positions like CEO, even though I know that many companies are looking for one. #2) The warping of small numbers. This is somewhat related to point #1. What this is all about is that when the numbers of available candidates are small, it is often inefficient to publicly post a job for them, rather a company who wants one should just individually contact each available candidate, depending on how many there really are. For example, let's say your local NFL team loses its quarterback in mid-season to a season-ending injury and decides they need a replacement to make a playoff run. Are they going to advertise it on Monster? No, of course not. The head coach knows full well that there are only a handful of available guys in the world who could reasonably step in and lead their team, and the coach probably already knows them by name and how to contact them. There's no need to publicly advertise a job when you already know who the prospective candidates are. This might apply to the JNCIE. I don't know if it does, but it might. Consider this. There are only 65 of them. Within a day or two of investigating, I could probably find out all their names and contact info, because there really aren't that many of them. So would I really need to publicly advertise my job? Maybe, maybe not. I think only when the numbers get large do the benefits of publicly posting become apparent. Wes Stevens wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... nrf, you and Peter both make good points on what is advertized on the job sites may not tell the whole Juniper job story. The supply may well be low enough that there are jobs to be found. Still I would think that there would be some jobs advertized. Even a search on Dice for just Juniper did not turn up much. A few jobs for a C++ person with Juniper skills and a few low level type jobs was all. It really does not matter for most of us as there is no way to get that cert unless you work on Juniper equipment at work. Building your own Juniper lab at home is not realistic.

RE: Chatsworth Router Rack Home Installation [7:45517]
Unless you live in an area prone to earthquakes I see no need to fasten the rack to the floor. Obviously, put any heavy gear near the bottom. A rack-mount UPS would be ideal. Even something like a 7000 router is balanced for telco rack mount. I have used Chatsworths with roller wheels in wiring closets. We would pull them out from the wall to get behind them.

IP Helpers for Multiple purposes? [7:45528]
Silly question. I know you can have multiple IP Helper addresses configured on an interface. But doesn't the router attempt each server in the order they're entered for all broadcasts that it's configured to forward? My question is, let's say I have a DHCP server in one TCP/IP subnet and I have something else in another subnet (let's say a custom application) that needs to receive broadcasts for some reason (this is a totally hypothetical situation). Is it possible to tell the router to forward all broadcasts on port 67 to a specific IP/subnet and also forward all broadcasts on (say) port 2000 to a different IP/subnet? Just curious I could see where this would be handy.. Mike W.

CCIE Written passed - Boson [7:45535]
I took the CCIE written yesterday afternoon and passed (80%) I was expecting more, but I flunked the performance/QoS section of the exam, which I neglected somewhat during preparation. I used both Boson #1 and Boson #3. Those 2 tests are complementary and are NOT substitute for each other. Boson #3 focuses on SNA issues where as Boson #1 focuses on the other networking topics. If you can, you should purchase both tests. For preparation I did a pre-test on Boson #3 and discovered how little SNA and ATM I knew. For 3 weeks, I studied SNA and ATM using CCO + hands-on until the whole thing felt natural. Then, on the 4th week of preparation I repeated the same strategy with Boson #1. I dicovered 3 areas of networking where I had some weaknesses. I only had time to work on 2 of them thoroughly before the test. Thank you to Bernard and Dennis for excellent test materials and to all those who gracefully took the time to answer my questions. I particularly want to thank Priscilla and Leigh Anne who both put me back on track several times during the last two years and Daniel Cotts for squeezing some time out of his busy schedule to spend some time discussing Cisco with me.

Yes well said thomas. If I had just relied on his ccna book 2 years ago, I would have failed 640-507 (CCNA). I found so many errors and things out of order (as a baby engineer). I ended up just reading the miserable, poorly written odom book from cisco press. I threw that piece of junk away, when I got to the part on ting and ted. If people are so stupid, he has to make up bad stories to help people remember the difference between routing and routed protocol, they should not be doing this ! Certs don't mean much in companies (I make a grip with just a ccna). So if you had your CSS1 and CCIP and I asked you a question, since your so knowledgeable and you got it wrong, or beat around the bush- interview ends and your resume goes in the garbage. With CSS1/CCIP written on top. If your so insecure that you care what todd lammle is doing (who by now should have one or more ccie's if he was really any good), your a pretty scary guy.

Re: Chatsworth Router Rack Home Installation [7:45517]
Good comments Mike! Khalid, another you might want to do is to mount your Cat5K (assuming you have one) at the bottom of the rack, with the rack kit placed on the cat5k as far forward as possible. This will make your cat5k extend pretty far back. Push the rack all the way back against a wall, with the back end of the cat5k resting against the wall. This will help stabilize your rack quite a bit. One other thing, when you put 2500s in your rack, make sure to leave some space between them as their fans are located at the bottom (this is one lesson I learned the hard way). thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 (RS / Security) Network Learning Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.optsys.net (Cisco hardware) Mike Sweeney wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... 3/4 in plywood makes a pretty good base..

RE: Booo! CSS1 [7:45498]
I am going for the CSS1, I probably could pass it in a short about of time. Instead, I am getting hands on experience with security, and getting all the theory as well. Not just for the CSS1, but for real world security stuff. Security is a journey, not a final destination. I think you need emphasize more on the real world hands on networking. And not how many people passed a test. A CSS1 is not going to be a magic pill, you have to understand how PIX, IDS and serity stuff works in a real world environment, with hands on. You also have to prove this when you get that security job. I think you got your CSS1 for all the wrong reasons. Because a book came out, that bummed you out? You should work that much harder on your security skills, instead of comparing yourself to everyone else. Those of us with true networking skills do not worry about what entry-level people are studying. And some of us even help out the newer people, kind of how other people in this newsgroup/internet probably did for you while you were going for your CSS1.

Re: Booo! CSS1 [7:45498]
Point taken, I got my BS as a computer science major at Rutgers. The major was hard and the midterm and final exams were alot harder than the certifciation exams I've taken. I've spoken with people who recieved their Masters from there and their curriclulum was even more demanding. I can't imagine how difficult the Ph. D courses would be here or an academically superior university( and I'm sure there's plenty better universities). I can guarantee you that they would have to know their s$%t. As low level as my courses were we had to know the TCP/IP very well. Some of our projects were writing client server programs which required us to come up with our own protocols. Ex. a chat server using UDP that would require us to write protocol to handle the sequencing and retranmissions to ensure reliablity over UDP. These assignments really taught more about TCP/IP than the CCNA CCNP books required. IMHO there should be an exam solely on TCP/IP to get your CCNP. Perhaps using Richard Stevens TCP/IP illustrated as the textbook. My point was that if our friend with the CSS1 is looking to accomplish something that noone else will easily achieve shoot for the Ph. D. I should have been more clear. A Ph D in a bul**t major from a bul**t college won;t get any respect from me either. But I will give a person with a Ph D. in Computer Science or any engineering from a decent university alot more respect than the average CCNP,CSS1 or whatever.

If you don't care what your source is... go to Cisco's website, drill down under documentation for the PIX, and start downloading all the PDFs you care to have on the subject. This will be your best bet for learning to configure from the command line your new toy.

Token Ring and multicasts [7:45554]
At 11:21 AM 5/31/02, FRANKD wrote: Hi Priscilla, What I did find was that in multi-cast token ring, it uses functional addressing. Search Cisco for token ring functional addressing. Try this one in particular: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios113ed/113ed_cr/np1_c/1cmulti.htm#xtocid2250942 Good Luck, Frank Thanks for the answer Frank. Please send answers to the group, not to my individual address. (I only do multicasting! ;-) That document has to do with IP multicast. I wasn't asking about IP multicast, but the fact that IP multicast uses a functional address on Token Ring is a good hint. Rumor has it that you need to know that for some Cisco tests. ;-) Here's the issue: IEEE says that the first bit transmitted in a data-link-layer header is the Individual/Group (I/G) bit. 1 = group. 0 = individual. Group also means multicast. If all bits in the destination address are 1s, then it's a broadcast, a special case of multicast or group. In canonical Little Endian format (Ethernet), the first bit transmitted is the least significant, low-order, right-most bit. For example, CDP sends to the multicast address 01-00-0C-CC-CC-CC. Notice that the least significant bit in the first byte (01) is a 1. In non-canonical Bit Endian format (Token Ring), the first bit transmitted is the most significant, high-order, left-most bit. I'm glad to see that Wendell Odom removed the discussion of Little Endian versus Big Endian from the latest version of the CCNA book, because the previous edition had it gunked up. Now, back to the real question. I know that IEEE says that 802.5 Token Ring supports multicast, i.e. the setting of the I/G bit. In fact, the IBM TR Reference Manual supports it too. However, Token Ring NIC vendors didn't support it in the past. This caused problems for IP Multicast, DECnet, AppleTalk, and many other upper layers that use multicasting. Some Cisco classes and books teach multicast as if it's only an IP thing. That's wrong. On Token Ring, a lot of upper layers had to rely instead on Token Ring functional addresses. Token Ring says that if the first bit transmitted of the third byte is a zero, then it's a functional address. Functional addresses are used for sending to the Active Monitor, to all bridges, to LAN Manager, etc. All Token Ring NICs can handle these addresses properly, and Token Ring drivers allow software to tell the NIC which functional addresses to listen to. Because the NICs and drivers didn't support multicast, upper layers made use of these functional addresses instead. I remember that the AppleTalk developers had to go to all sorts of shenanigans to get their multicasts for zones to work right, using functional instead of multicast addresses. It appears from RFC 1469, that for IP multicast it was decided that the functional address C0-00-00-04-00-00 would be used. That's in Big Endian (non-canonical) format. Notice that it's Group/Locally administered and functional. It is not guaranteed to be uniquely used for IP multicast. Other upper layers could use it too. Anyway, that's the history. I was wondering if the problem was ever fixed. Did Token Ring NIC vendors start supporting real multicast ever, or do upper layer developers still need to use a functional address? I think that the problem was never fixed (or at least that developers don't assume that it was fixed.) The link that Frank sent, although written years ago, seems to be up-to-date and implies that IP multicast on Token Ring uses a functional address. I also found an RFC 2470 that specifies IPv6 on Token Ring. It uses functional addressees too. On the other hand, some applications may send to a multicast address that isn't also a functional address, but I haven't found any. I think to play it safe, developers assume that the Token Ring NICs understand functional addresses, but not necessarily multicast. BTW, Radia Perlman's new edition still says this too. She didn't update that discussion, probably because it's still an issue on Broken Ring.

Friday Funnies [7:45559]
Forward to me by a coworker, from the Shark Tank at ComputerWorld: --- Shark Tank: And it's the prettiest little hub you ever saw Business is booming for this manufacturer, so the production management group decides to expand into some long-unused office space adjoining the shop. Of course, I was not made aware of this plan beforehand, grumbles a systems manager pilot fish. So when he gets a call complaining that a PC on the shop floor is down, fish checks it out and determines the trouble is in the network. I backtracked to the unused office space where the nearest network hub was located, and found it sitting on the file cabinet it had always sat on. But the hub and file cabinet are now on the other side of the room -- and the network wires are dangling uselessly from the wall. Fish doesn't know who's responsible for doing this, so he curses under his breath while he mounts the hub to the wall and hooks it up again. Things were fine for a couple of days, then I got another call from the guy on the shop floor, says fish. Same symptoms. He runs back to the unused office and discovers that the walls have been freshly spray-painted. Oddly, while the hub was no longer where I mounted it, there was a hub-shaped patch of unpainted wall there, fish says. I located the freshly painted hub, scraped and scrubbed it until I could make out the status lights, cursed under my breath again and remounted the thing to the wall. Fish still can't find the maintenance worker who won't keep his hands off the hub. But I alerted his supervisor that he needs to stop disconnecting my equipment, says fish. Less than 48 hours later, fish's phone rings again: same PC, same problem. A quick hike to the empty office confirms that the hub is gone once more. The well-intentioned but incredibly thick-headed maintenance guy had taken it out to the paint shop to clean it up with steel wool and solvents, fish says. He rescues the hub yet again, swears a blue streak at the maintenance guy and mounts the hub on the wall one more time. The maintenance worker doesn't last another week, fish says. But the hub is still mounted to the wall -- half-painted and virtually free of legible labels, but working reliably nonetheless.

Unless you've got a lot of Cisco experience, I still think that taking the individual exams is the way to go because of the amount of material you need to know.

RE: Foundations 640-509 [7:45548]
Let me start out saying that I have not taken the Foundation exam - I took the routing, switching and remote access one by one. The Foundation exam is the three exams (routing, switching and remote access) in one. It has more questions and cost more than one of the other three. It's kind of a gamble. If you are not prepared for all three exams when you take the Foundation, you will get nothing out of it. On the other hand, if you are perfect in routing and switching, but not so good in remote access, Foundation might be better, as the percentage you answer wrong on remote access questions, will be a third the percentage compared to if you took it by it self. Anyway(s), to prepare for the Foundation, you need to read the same books, etc., as you would if you prepared for each of the other three. To see what I did, visit my RouterChief site.

RE: Foundations 640-509 [7:45548]
I totally disagree with this statement. In the foundation exam you get three scores, one for each of the sections. You have to pass in all sections to pass the foundation exam. So if you are strong in two areas but not the third you are likely to fail the whole exam because of this one area. If you are weak in any area then Foundation is not the exam to take.

Re: CCIE Lab Reading [7:45486]
In answer to your question, I myself have never had time to use the CD in the Lab, but that's because of the many other dumb mistakes I made that cut me short. IMHO, there is adequate time to complete all required tasks in the Lab if: 1) you don't have to spend any time pondering configuration choices 2) you don't do dumb things like misread requirements and place things into the wrong vlans or subnets 3) you don't do dumb things like misconfigure or misplace access lists so that you end up filtering or not filtering the wrong things 4) etc etc etc Many people have stated here and elsewhere that they have had all their layer two and layer three done before lunch, and have had plenty of time to work on the real off the wall stuff in the afternoon. Many have said that they have consulted the CD for particular problems, and that knowing where on the CD to find things is of great importance. the CD search engine is the pits. You have to be able to quickly drill through the various menus to get to where you need to be. some things are in the IOS command and configuration guides. Some things are found under the various product line documentation. No you will not have time to use the CD as a crutch, as a substitute for internalizing. Yes, given that you know the basics and don't make too many mistakes, you will have time to look up an occasional thing here or there. HTH Chuck Michael L.

I realize that knowing commands and being quick at configuration a requirement in the lab. A CCIE friend of mine suggested that I learn to find virtually everything instantly on Cisco's Documentation CD. Having said that, (and I'm asking because your post implied that you had taken it before), without breaking NDA (of course), is there really time to look up anything on the CD? I realize it's impossible to memorize every single thing.. especially commands, but it seems to me that referencing the CD could take even more time even if you know where to look.

Re: IPX Network Configs [7:45477]
Jenny, you are correct, it is 12.1(8)T. As for the fix, here goes. We were receiving an error message later in the evening that said that the limit of 200 IPX network address had been exceeded . There were only 107 IPX networks configured on the router, so we were a bit perplexed. Here is the good part: The router will only accept 200 IPX nets configured, but the catch is that the router sees each network that IPX RIP is config'd for as a seperate network. Being that IPX RIP is config'd by default, we were already up to 214 IPX networks. On top of that, IPX EIGRP was config'd for all the networks as well, bringing the total to 321 nets. I first removed RIP, but still wasn't able to add the IPX network or type-20-prop command . Once I removed RIP AND EIGRP I was able to add the network . At that point, I put RIP and EIGRP back into the config and all is now well. Thank you very much for your interest and input!

I used both Boson #1 and Boson #3. Those 2 tests are complementary and are NOT substitute for each other. Boson #3 focuses on SNA issues where as Boson #1 focuses on the other networking topics. If you can, you should purchase both tests. For preparation I did a pre-test on Boson #3 and discovered how little SNA and ATM I knew. For 3 weeks, I studied SNA and ATM using CCO + hands-on until the whole thing felt natural. Then, on the 4th week of preparation I repeated the same strategy with Boson #1. I dicovered 3 areas of networking where I had some weaknesses. I only had time to work on 2 of them thoroughly before the test. Thank you to Bernard and Dennis for excellent test materials and to all those who gracefully took the time to answer my questions. I particularly want to thank Priscilla and Leigh Anne who both put me back on track several times during the last two years and Daniel Cotts for squeezing some time out of his busy schedule to spend some time discussing Cisco with me.
