2002-10-06 Thread John Tafasi

Do you guys no when the Catalyst 3550 will replace the 5000 series switches
in the lab exam?

Do you any online lab that gives good scenarios related to this new switch?

Thanks

Re: Catalyst ATM blade to Marconi ASX-200WG [7:54948]

2002-10-06 Thread Nigel Taylor

nettable_walker,
   here's a link that should shed some light on what
you're trying to accomplish.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk39/tk42/technologies_configuration_example
09186a0080093d65.shtml
watch the line wrap...

Since you have a Dual-PHY LANE module, you should identify the MAC address
of ports(A/B) for the various LANE elements on your Cat5k.  The command
"show lane default" should get you this information.  All you need from the
output is the last 7 bytes
which should be the devices MAC address and byte selector)  This can be done
by simply connecting to each port on the LANE module while they're
active(issue the command "preferred phy a/b", while connected to the LANE
module).  Once you have this information you should be able to follow the
link in constructing the LANE(LECS) database as well as the sub-interfaces
and vlan to ELAN bindings...

A really good book on the topic called - Cisco ATM Solutions,  authored by
Galina Diker Pildush, ISBN 1578702135.

OT: Nanog Post: redistribute bgp considered harmful [7:54961]

2002-10-06 Thread Nigel Taylor

All,
   This was a recent post on the Nanog list which I thought could get
some interest on the list.  Basically, the poster is questioning the
relevance or real world requirements/need for certain commands, in this case
it's the "redistribute bgp" command.

Here's the original post...

Sean Donelan wrote:

 Should the Service Provider version of routing software include the
  redistribute bgp command?  Other than CCIE labs, I haven't seen a
  real-world use for redistributing the BGP route table into any IGP.

  If the command was removed (or included a Are your sure? question) what
  would the affect be on ISPs, other than improving reliability by
  stopping network engineers from fubaring a backbone?


Thoughts!

Nigel

Re: How to restrict hubs in a LAN [7:54937]

2002-10-06 Thread irfan siddiqui

By default a port can learn 132 mac addresses on most switches. This can be 
restricted by the "Port Secure Max-mac-count (1-132)" command. If this is 
set to 1 it will not accept any additional Macs on the port.

CL: according to the blueprint on CCO, in the Lab you will not be tested on
configuring the ATM switch.

CL: one would hope uoi have a couple of routers with ATM interfaces so you
can practice the things you might see in the Lab.

Re: OT: CSCO stock [7:54957]

2002-10-06 Thread Chuck's Long Road

yes the whole tech industry is suffering. why? maybe because the prices of
early 2000 were way too high?


Cisco at it's high was trading at somewhere around 200 times earnings. Today
it is trading at 37 times earnings. That is still pretty high, given that
historically a solid reliable company might be expected to trade at 20 times
earnings.

Some of this is based on comparative yields for treasuries. One year
treasuries are yielding 1.72%. Cisco doesn't pay dividends ( it's a growth
stock, you know :-> ) So what are you buying when you buy Cisco stock? The
hope that the stock price will grow.

Add to that the economic slowdown. Cisco's major customers are cutting back.
As are any other equipment manufacturer's customers. There is little
prospect for growth. Reality has hit Cisco, not to mention the economy as a
whole. What - you thought 200 times earnings was normal? You thought 20%
annual growth rates were normal? Not to mention sustainable? The result.
Cisco stock is way down, and to be truthful, there is little reason to think
it ( or the market in general ) will break out of this malaise any time
soon.

As long as the Fed continues in it's present course, and refuses to take
direct action to increase money supply ( and not just lower the discount
rate ) the economy will continue to perform poorly.

As for Cisco - there is a LOT of used Cisco gear on the market. Many
companies, carriers, providers overbought in 2000 and 2001. They don't
really need to buy more. Cisco is fighting hard to convince customers that
they need to upgrade. What has YOUR Cisco sales team been telling you
lately? To trade out your 2924's for 3550-24's? To trade out your 5xxx'x for
65xx's? To replace your PBX with AVVID? Oh and by the way, to buy all new
switched as long as you're at it?

Sorry to be so pessimistic. NRF - got anything to add?

OSPF dead-interval to hello-interval relation? [7:54969]

2002-10-06 Thread Cisco Nuts

Hello,

Couple of questions on OSPF hello and dead interval...(that's driving me 
NUTS)  :-)

1. Why does OSPF NOT change the hello-interval when you first configure the 
dead-interval. Ex. I changed the dead-interval to 60 but the hello-interval 
still showed up as 10.

R1-RTD(config-subif)#ip os dead-interval 60

R1-RTD#sh ip os int s0/0.2
Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 60, Wait 60, Retransmit 10

I was assuming that the hello interval would get bumped to 15 but looks like 
that's not how it works!!

--

2. So I changed the hello interval next to 20 thinking that it would bump 
the dead interval to 80. But lo! behold! It does NOT change it to 80. Why is 
this??

R1-RTD(config-subif)#ip os hello-interval 20

R1-RTD#sh ip os int s0/0.2
Timer intervals configured, Hello 20, Dead 60, Wait 60, Retransmit 10

--

3. Next, I set the hello interval back to it's default of 10 but still the 
dead interval does not get set back to 40. Why??

R1-RTD(config-subif)#ip os hello-interval 10

R1-RTD#sh ip os int s0/0.2
Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 60, Wait 60, Retransmit 10

--

4. So, I changed the dead interval back to 40 manually.

Next, I changed the hello interval to 20 and this time, OSPF set the dead 
interval to 80.

R1-RTD(config-subif)#ip ospf hello-interval 20

R1-RTD#sh ip os int s0/0.2
Timer intervals configured, Hello 20, Dead 80, Wait 80, Retransmit 10

5. Ok, Finally I set the hello interval to 10 and this time OSPF worked at 
the way is should work.

R1-RTD(config-subif)#ip ospf hello-interval 10

R1-RTD#sh ip os int s0/0.2
Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 10


Anybody have any real good explanations for this or is it just a BUG? OR is 
this the way Cisco OSPF works!!

2002-10-06 Thread Daren Presbitero

Group Studiers,

Anyone know how to tell the difference between a 1720 and 1721
router?  Will it show up on a "show ver" that it is a 1721 vice 1720?
Is there something different as far as visually?

Thanks in advance,
Daren

Hey Chuck,
Yep, I noticed this as well.  The greatest addition to
the new site is the button/link(image) that read "Go to the old Site".
After mastering where all the information is on CCO, it's going to take
sometime to fimilarize myself with the new layout..

Re: How to restrict hubs in a LAN [7:54937]

2002-10-06 Thread Greg Reaume

John,

If WindowsXP is bridging two NICs it actually runs spanning-tree. It is a
very nice feature for L1 redundancy. Though in your scenario I don't really
see why they think that's necessary. I'm planning to use this functionality
in the upcoming Windows.NET server to multihome all my servers, as long as
it supports the concept of a loopback or virtual interface for L3
connectivity, to two different switches to protect against 48 servers
failing because a switch burns out. I just wish MS had an add-on for
Windows2K Server with this functionality so I don't have to wait.

Check out these links:

ableguy/cg0102.asp



Correct me if I'm wrong but, from what I gather in your previous postings,
loops seem to be your main concern. You say that it may very well be
justified that these users need up to 5 PCs in their cube, or that you don't
really want to get into that fight (whichever way you want to put it). You
also say that it is very hard to run new drops. Why don't you take the
approach of supporting them then, and instead of going through the work of
running new drops, provide them with a small switch that runs spanning-tree.

A 1548M (8-port desktop chassis) would do nicely for around $1K list. It
allows for up to 4 local VLANs so the techs can do whatever they want on
their own little switch. It also runs CDP so you can keep track of where
they are through management tools like CiscoWorks, etc. If they want to clog
up their link to the rest of the network with 5 PCs doing whatever, why not
let them (as long as they do it safely)?

Check here for more info on the 1548M:

Well, when I wrote the orginal post I knew I will have these questions.
Basically the first layer of support or help desk if you will have more PCs
then the drops in their cubes. This is an old building not meant for an IS
staff so there is some frustration on their part. I am not going to question
if there is a legit need for folks to have 5 PCs when there is infact a
seperate staging area to set up and test pcs for users. Any ways they know
enough to be dangerous and there is no standard on hubs and I have seen
where folks have created loops. Now with Windows XP I have seen some configs
where 2 nics have been bridged via software I am not sure with what intent.
Although it's been made clear many times not to use hubs but this is never
enforced and I did not want to spend my time daily trying to hunt down the
lawless. So that's when I thought if I could config the switch this will
discourage the hub usage or bridging within pcs. I hope that answers most of
the questions here.

Re: Route-map question (urgent) [7:54910]

2002-10-06 Thread Greg Reaume

Yasser,

Be careful here...  you don't know if the only segment for which he wants
HTTP redirected is the one connected via fa2/0, there may be more.  Offering
a solution without knowing all his requirements will just lead him into
deeper confusion.


Nabil,

The best way to find your answer is to go and learn this thoroughly for
yourself.  And as always, never put yourself in a position where you are
urgently required to do something you've never done without a lifeline setup
prior to your need.  No manager that I have worked with has ever blamed
someone for saying, "I've never done that before and I'd feel more
comfortable taking some time to understand it".  If the need is that urgent
that there is no time to spare, you should be able to call TAC under your
service contract, right?  :)

Good luck.

We went to a Cisco presentation to introduce the new web site. It has 
been developed from customer feedback apparently.
I'm sure most customers would say leave the bloody thing alone for a bit 
:-)

Myself and 2 CCIE's went to the two hour presentation, and had to 
chuckle as we walked out and our summary was "Same shit - different 
place"

Can't knock it really though. I have worked with masses of different 
products over the years, and in my view, one of the best things about 
Cisco is the availability and quality of information on their web site.

Re: How to restrict hubs in a LAN [7:54937]

2002-10-06 Thread Erick B.

Greg,

Windows XP does this by default in some situations. If
you have a PC with a Ethernet NIC and firewire
adapter, it will bridge the 2 interfaces together and
create a logical L3 interface that the protocols are
bound to all by default.

  Thank you for what you have said. My suggestions were based on the
scenario that Nabil mentioned. Being the fact that his real life scenario
is different that what he said fall under his attention to consider. It's
just something to give some light for him but you do have a point that he
should read more before considering doing something he never did before.

BTW, is it normal that somebody's postings to the list not to be sent to

Yasser,

I agree, everyone should be conscious that any advice received through a
source such as this, although quite skilled, can only be advice given based
on the information one has provided.  This advice is only as accurate and
comprehensive as one's presented question or scenario.

About the postings, I know that I use Outlook Express through Outlook (news
button), and I do see the postings that I make in each thread.  However, I
can only choose to either post to thread, or reply directly to sender.  If I
want to do both I must manually add the destinations to the message.

Re: Cisco 3550 [7:54958]

2002-10-06 Thread Ben W

3550 already has replaced the 5000.  They will only test you on what the
3550 and 5000 have in common until Nov. 4, however Nov. 4 they will start
testing anything on 3550.

Re: How to restrict hubs in a LAN [7:54937]

Thanks for all the advice, I will try to work this with the managers see
what we can come up with. As I said before this is a political mess because
there are too many chiefs and few indians and unfortunately I don't have a
power in the final decisions which is why things are not optimum. This was a
good discussion and I will use your suggestions. Thank you all for your time

RE: Access List Change [7:54901]

Huh???

router1(config)#ip route ?
  A.B.C.D  Destination prefix

router1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 ?
  A.B.C.D  Destination prefix mask

while together, they could be construed as 'all networks' and 'all hosts'
(in the absense of more specific routes), your statement would not be
accurate as seperately they are meaningless.

Subject: RE: Access List Change [7:54901]


I just lost a major reply that I had composed due to a computer lockup. So
shorter reply this time.
The static route that your European router has is correct as it is. It takes
all traffic for which it doesn't have an explicit route and passes it out to
the Internet. I'm assuming that the ip address 1.2.3.4 is a valid address of
an interface on your European ISPs router. So all traffic to the Internet
from your European office goes to their local European ISP.
Look at the syntax of a static route.
Destination network, netmask to determine what bits identify the network,
egress port. The first 0.0.0.0 means all networks. The second 0.0.0.0 means
all hosts. 1.2.3.4 seems to be your European ISP. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
1.2.3.4 is a good default route.
If you were to use 172.29.30.0 255.255.255.0 1.2.3.4 you would be telling
your router to find its LAN network out on the Internet. The router knows
better. It already has that network shown as directly connected. Do a "show
ip route" to verify.
Your statement that "However, it has been configured for all Europe internet
traffic to be routed through U.S. office ..." doesn't agree with the
configuration. Access-list 100 would have to send all traffic over the VPN.
It doesn't.

To verify that, check the path that traffic to the Internet takes from your
remote office. From the DOS Prompt of a European PC ping a web site such as
Cisco. ping cisco.com. You should get a reply like 198.133.219.25. Again
from the DOS Prompt do a tracert to that address. It should display the
intermediate routers. I'll bet that traffic from Europe goes out that router
to the local ISP.

No time to repeat my lost sermon on named access-lists.
Access-list 100 defines traffic that is allowed to traverse the VPN.
Access-list 101 specifies that traffic bound for the VPN tunnel should not
be NATed. All other traffic (to the ip nat outside interface (usually
Internet)) should be NATed.
For every permit statement in 100 there should be a corresponding deny in
101. 101 in addition then permits all other destinations.

Here's a tutorial on access-lists http://www.nwc.com/907/907ws1.html

Be extremely careful about changing access-lists in the European router. If
you edit 100 you will take the VPN down. Not good if you are connected via
that VPN. Telnet to the 217.x.x.x interface of the European router from your
local router.
Consider using the "reload in" command. I've mentioned it previously. Look
it up in the Cisco documentation on www.cisco.com

The Firewall feature set can be used on a router with NAT and with VPNs. Not
trivial.

It would be good to remove the "ip http server" line.

Let us know your progress.

May I suggest that you purchase a few books. You may only need a small bit
of it; but "Routing TCP/IP Vol 1" by Jeff Doyle is a classic. "Cisco Access
Lists Field Guide" by Held and Hundley is quite good. It's also all on CCO -
you just have to find it. Start under Service and Support and go to the TAC
page. Look under each major area. Drill down just to see what's there.

Which PIX to buy [7:54985]

2002-10-06 Thread Andrew Unuigbe

Pix 535 is the perfect device for what you want to accomplish but it will
cost you about $110,000.00 with the failover unit and it is very scalable.
