Re: Very Strange Problem....Any Ideas? [7:59682]
Since you worked in a brokerage situation, you probably understand better than most... It's straight IP, but there is equipment from Bloomberg, Metavante, Reuters, Pershing, etc. Most of the equipment, I have to take the vendor's word that it's not misbehaving since I don't have access.

strange behavior in ip negotiated [7:59748]
HI All I have the test setup for E1 connection. I am using NM-2CE1B in 3660 routers. I have connected two routers back to back for this E1 connection. The problem is when i configure the static ip address, i can ping the opposite end. But when i give ip address negotiated, it can not ping to the other end. The ip address is negotiated and assigned. It can ping to its own ip address, but not to the opposite end. When i give trace route to its own ip address, it traces to the opposite end and ends in the own ip address. when i give debug ip packets it gives unroutable. but in traceroute it can reach the opposite end. please can anyone guide me where i am going wrong.

Thx! idle curousity - your company has made a decision to implement IS-IS and there is no one on staff who knows anything about the protocol? I have to ask. Why? Why IS-IS. Why the decision?

Re: HSRP and BGP [7:59735]
In your scenario advertising same block over both links to your provider will not help in load sharing. Redundancy is acheived but not sharing because your ISP will receive two advertisments to the same block and BGP only chooses the best route. You can overcome this in many ways, for example you if you have a /22 block. Devide it into 8 /24 blocks. Start advertising 4 /24s through the 1st router, advertise the remaining /24s through the 2nd router. Like this you acheived load-balance as your ISP will receive 1/2 of the routes via one link and the rest through the other. You are not done yet as this will provide load-sharing but not redundancy. For example if Link1 fails this means that 1/2 of your blocks will not be advertised and will stop receiving traffic for them. To avoid this, advertise through both routers an aggregate route for the whole /22. Like this your ISP will always use the more specific route and in a way balance the traffic over both links. When one of the links/routers fail, your ISP will use the aggregate route advertised from your other router to route all the traffic back to you. Another way, is to ask your provider to accept not just 1 route for the /24 but accept both by setting the maximum accepted routes to 2 instead to 1. 1 is the default and ISPs normally don't accept changing this default value.

They almost always have an example config to meet your needs. The answer to 1 & 2 above is the same. The general form for a non-tagged access port is: set vlan 1 1/1 set vlan 2 1/2 This assigns port 1/1 to vlan 1 and port 1/2 to vlan 2 The general form for a tagged trunk would be: set trunk 2/1 on dot1q 1-2 clear trunk 2/1 3-1005 This sets port 2/1 as a dot1q trunk carrying vlans 1 & 2. All others are cleared. But depending on the switch, this may not be any good.

Re: CCIE Vs. BS or MS dergree [7:59481]
Interesting question, but I think the question of "which is tougher" and "which is more valuable" get confused. As someone who has an MBA from a top school, I know that it took several thousand of hours of work and an estimated 12,000 - 15,000 pages of reading. I am in process on my CCIE, but so far it looks like it will only be a fraction of that. However, how hard it is really doesn't matter. The question is what you want to do with your life and what you find interesting. Would being an successful investment banker pay more than being a solid CCIE? Of course. Would I hate my life? Of course. But, that is just my personal view. As someone who has had a wide range of technical, managerial, and financial experiences I strongly encourage people to follow their passion and not get hung-up in the money question. And don't worry about how hard it is or isn't. If you love it you will work through it. If you hate it but are trying to just make a bunch of money, it may be harder for you that becoming a brain surgeon. Just my $1.25 worth . . . inflation you know!

Re: HSRP and BGP [7:59735]
While several of us have mentioned splitting up the netblocks that you advertise to your ISP would help spread the usage across the T1's there is something to keep in mind. If there is only 1 or so hosts that are most often the destination for traffic inbound to your site, you are still going to get more utilization across the link that advertises the network that contains that particular host/s. I mention this because I've had clients in the past split netblock assignments in an effort to get better utilization of their multiple T1 setups. But we've often found that they have 1 host providing more service than the others, that particular network will see more traffic, hence, that particular link seeing more utilization. There can be a need to be very granular about how you advertise networks and about how you have your network set up. You may have to play with moving hosts around on different netblocks if you are truly looking to get something near even traffic on each T1. You can use your interface stats to routinely check load, or better, use something like MRTG that will poll your interfaces and graph utilization over longer periods of time. Sorry if this is long winded, but you need to keep in mind what your trying to do. How to best use the resources you have and perhaps most importantly, to know how to measure it accurately to see if you've achieved the results you were looking for. -chris - Original Message - From: "YASSER ALY" To: Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 11:43 AM Subject: Re: HSRP and BGP [7:59735] > In your scenario advertising same block over both links to your provider > will not help in load sharing.

5300 IVR with loopback [7:59762]
Hi, folks: I new to 5300, and have question regarding the IVR for 5300. someone suggest me such configuration: t1 (phone company, incoming call) multpiple 5300 ( without IVR, say 5300a )loopback5300 ( with IVR, say 6300b) when a phone call come into 5300a, the 5300a has not ivr so loopback to 5300b to get the irv announcement to the caller. 5300b can keep 711 code ivr, and this ivr is only used for authetication, the 5300a can use 729 code for real time vocie. Is this possible? how to config the loopback? thanks. min = Min Wang Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

RE: Very Strange Problem....Any Ideas? [7:59682]
You should probably look into the behavior of those UNIX servers that insist on using a /24 mask. Is it possible that they also advertise such a mask with ICMP? See RFC 1256 for more info about ICMP router solicitations and advertisements. I think I have seen Windows and Macintosh machines broadcast ICMP router solicitation messages. Usually they are ignored, but perhaps not in your case. The UNIX machines may have responded with the wrong mask. Routers (and hosts that do routing) also periodically broadcast or multicast router advertisements, which can wreak havoc even if the other hosts don't ask for the info. You said you checked the mask on all your devices, though... But perhaps the problem was intermittent, due to the intermitten nature of ICMP router advertisements. Another thought is that there could have been a rogue DHCP server somewhere. These days DHCP server capability is showing up in all sorts of devices, particularly wireless access points, but also other Internet toasters, refigerators, etc. ;-) Anyway, I guess you already know that you'll want to put a sniffer on this network and figure out what is really going on before you go back to the addressing that should, of course, work.

Re: 7200 Router Questions... [7:59645]
No. With the NPE-1G being the exception you need an I/O card which is on the same side of the router as the PA's, and a NPE or NSE card which is on the otherside. The I/O cards contains you NVRAM, flash, console connection and various LAN interfaces. The NPE or NSE contains the CPU and DRAM.

Question regarding performance and Route-Maps [7:59766]
Fellow Ciscoers, Anyone have any idea on the performance hit for a cisco 3660 using route-maps instead of routing using static routes? I have 200+ routes that I would like to compile into one route-map with 3 match statements instead. Is there an equation that would tell me how much slower (pps) my data will route when using a route-map instead of static routes. Does such an equation exist?

ADSL problem [7:59776]
I have got three sites. Scenario Explanation : SIte A has a 1721 router with a ADSL connection. It has a ATM module and a ethernet 10/100 port. Ethernet port is connected to the LAN. SIte B and SIte c has 801 routers with a ISDN module and LAN module. Onthe ISDN DSL is configured. VPN connection is used to transfer data across. Problem: >From site B there is excellent ping of less than 112ms to the site A. Now when a computer in site B tries to establish VPN connectivity to a server in Site A it takes more than 5 minutes to come up. the config is checked and its fine in both the routers. can someody tell me the problem. thnz nerdv Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=59776&t=59776 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I like looking at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/7206/port_adp/config/3471in.htm#xtocid14 for bw used and point assignment for various port adapters. Another important thing to note is different selections give different pps limits, for example, for the npe models, the model represents how many kpps theyll transfer.

I would add that people who are looking at only the work involved in getting a top-flight MBA don't see the whole picture. Not only do you need to figure in the work needed to obtain the MBA, you also have to figure in the work involved in getting admitted to a top program in the first place. For example, let's say you want to get an MBA from Harvard/Stanford/Penn/N'Western/whatever. Well, you can't just show up to class one day and demand that they start teaching you. You first have to be admitted - and let's face it, getting admitted to places of that caliber requires you to have done a whole lot of stuff beforehand. They ain't gonna admit just anybody. Therefore when you add in the work involved in simply getting admitted in the first place, in addition to the work involved in getting the degree, I think it's plain to see that the degree from a top school is many times more difficult than the CCIE could ever be. > > However, how hard it is really doesn't matter. The question is what you > want to do with your life and what you find interesting. Would being an > successful investment banker pay more than being a solid CCIE? Of course. > Would I hate my life? Of course. But, that is just my personal view. This is absolutely true, but I would also add the following. What makes you happy now may not make you happy in the future. Sure, you might like to be the network guy configuring boxes now, but there's no guarantee that this will still be true 20 years later. Maybe you'll still like it, but on the other hand, maybe you want to be the one in the nice office telling other people to configure boxes. Degrees are valuable because of their flexibility. If you want to make a change in your career path in the future, it is far easier to do so with a degree than with a cert.

RE: 7200 Router Questions... [7:59645]
In order to hit performance marks that are excellent with IPSec you will need not only a spiffy NPE but the PA-VAM or PA-ISA. Be aware that the PA-VAM may not work with the latest and greatest IPSec image. I picked up a 7206VXR VPN bundle from Cisco last month and the only IOS supported was 12.1(9)E. This may have changed with 12.2(13)T - do your homework and test it. With the VAM and the NPE-400 Cisco claims ~150Mbps throughput. Be sure to top it off with memory - if you are running lots of tunnels you will need the space. I haven't tested the performance myself and do not know how the split bus of the 7200's will affect performance of one PA or another depending on where it's plugged in. Not all my questions have been answered... The VPN bundle lists for $23,500 - apply your discount. That gives you fastethernet interfaces(2), the PA-VAM, and the NPE-400. You'll have to pay for more If you can use a newer IOS version (come ON Cisco...) you can run the easy VPN server on the box and make life so much easier. The 12.1 code does a good job of working with x.509 certs, but there is a lot of command change between 12.1(9) and 12.2(13)T, so watch your configurations carefully and be prepared to rewrite things between versions. The PA-ISA does run with a piece of 12.2 code (I have a client using it) and does just fine. In the case of both accellerators there is no AES support that I am aware of. If you are looking for AES, the software crypto engine is supposed to support it in 12.2(13)T on some(all?) platforms and I've heard that there's a new crypto hardware piece in the works to support it also. Just a thought: Depending on your application, you may consider buying two smaller VPN enabled routers (3600 or 2600) and using multiple tunnels frome each site to the hub for layer 3 based load balancing and fault tolerance. They are routers, make 'em route! (Or heck, just buy 2 7206 bundles... :) You may get performance every bit as good, with availability numbers that make you look like an uber-star to the boss.

[7:59645] thanks for the info. have you or anyone else any idea what configuration it takes for a 7200 router to be comparable in performance to a PIX 515 when it comes to a site-to-site VPN? for example, would a 7204VXR by itself be enough (over more than enough, for that matter) to meet the packet throughput performance of a PIX 515 on a 3DES ipsec tunnel set up site-to-site? i can't seem to find pps performance specs for the 7200 series... thanks, ed -Original Message- From: MADMAN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 1:46 PM To: Edward Sohn Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 7200 Router Questions...
