OSPF BGP redistiribution question [7:66430]

2003-03-29 Thread The Long and Winding Road
NLI ( b..o..o..t..c..a..m..p.. lab 8 ) redistribution of OSPF and BGP

I checked CCO and the "answer" key

everything "appears" to be correct.

So why is it that half my OSPF routes do not show up in the BGP table???

BGP exam in prep. for the CCIE Lab!! [7:66432]

2003-03-29 Thread Cisco Nuts
Hello,The new BGP exam(beta) for the CCIP exam is a great one (imho) in
prep. for the actual CCIE Lab.It really tests your skill and deep
understanding of your BGP knowledge..133 questions in 250 minutes
(slightly less than 2 minutes per question), which I think was not
enough.Diagrams after diagrams.The testing site refused to give
me just plain white sheets of paper and also refused for me to take my
color pens, even my normal pens!!.. So it was a real 'drag' trying to
draw diagrams in the provided "plastic sheets" as it smudges and no place
to write but on my knees!!. Reminded me so much of that 'dreaded
place' that many us have been or will be soon ;-> since I had
the similiar experience there!!!Uuh!! how my wrists hurt since they are
hanging on the edge of that stupid desk!! I have taken over 30 exams in
my professional career starting with the CNA/CNE 3 way back in 1995 with
no problem in acquiring generous sheets of white paper and plenty of
space to write...But this one??Anyways, the results are going to be
mailed in a couple of weeks. Just prep'd. for a week since someone last
week posted this new exam info. on this site...And as Monday the 31st
was the last day, I decided to take it on Friday (lest  I failed and
could retake it on Monday again!!) But since I am going to know the
results in a couple of weeks, I might just chill for now and pray I
passedhopefully I did ;->Anyone else who has taken the exam, any
feedback?Sincerely,CN

I would presume that the "2948G" you mentioned is the L2-only model. The
Catalyst 2948G-L2 runs the same software as the Cat5000/5500, otherwise
known as the CatOS. The Monitor command works only for IOS-based
switches.

The 2948G-L3 (L-3 switch running IOS) would probably use the Monitor
command.

Thought I'd clarify that.

I'm using a Cisco 2509-RJ. You can control up to 8 devices on it's async
ports (9 if you'll be using the AUX port also). As the async prots are
already RJ-45, you can connect Cisco's console cable directly.

Studying for the written CCIE [7:66450]

2003-03-29 Thread Tommy Bartus
I passed the CCNP last week and I wanted to start studying for the CCIE
"written" this weekend. I have looked at various WebPages including cisco and
groupstudy. The amount of material for the test is amazing, so I'm at a lost
here, especially with so many books.



Does anyone have any suggestions on what book should I start with?

Is there a book that contains most of the material for the test, and I can
use
other books to reference materials that I would not find on that one book?

I guess every person is different, but is there a plan study for the test?
Besides the exam blueprint off-course =)





Thank you,



Tommy Bartus

Yes. The 2511 can also be used. Though, you need an octal cable (8-async
lines) or two (up to 16 asyncs) for it to be useful. However, in a
practice
lab environment, I'm sure you won't be configuring more than 8 or 9
devices.
So a 2509-RJ is much more practical at least for me.

Here's the command structure:

set span {_mod/src_ports | src_vlan | sc0} dest_mod/dest_port [rx | tx |
both] [inpkts {enable | disable}] [learning {enable | disable}]
[multicast
{enable | disable}] [create]


Ex. You want ports 3/1 to be the source and 2/4 to be the monitoring
port:

set span 3/1 2/4

Also, you can set the whole VLAN to be the SPAN source:

set span 12 2/4

   where "12" is the VLAN number.

And that's the funny thing.  Autonegotiation *is* the standard!  ;-)
It's
when you don't use auto that you've strayed from the standard.  However,
I
still find about <5% of the time I run into situations where I just
cannot
get auto to work right.  Most of those I suspect bad cabling but it
would
have been too difficult to fix at the time.

Here's a tip that I've found helpful, even if things seem to be running
fairly well after you upgrade to a newer switch.  From time to time,
clear
the counters and wait a while, then check for alignment errors, late
collisions, and CRC errors.  Any of those are a good sign that you might
have a speed and/or duplex mismatch.

I've been using this technique to slowly fix the connections to some of
our
servers.  Quite often the servers will appear to be working just fine
but
they still need to be fixed.  Other times, our LAN group spends weeks of
intermittent troubleshooting trying to solve a problem and it never
occurs
to them that it might be a speed/duplex issue.  They're always looking
for
application or OS problems and they sometimes don't think to ask me
about it
until they've run out of ideas.

Re: Speed Duplex Talk again [7:66402]

2003-03-29 Thread Thomas Larus
I don't think we can stress enough how important the speed/duplex mismatch
and autonegotiation problems are.  If you are having a LAN problem, this is
one of the first things you should consider.  The interesting thing thing
about duplex mismatch errors is that things can seem like they are working
okay, but you notice problems once in a while.

Every day, probably hundreds of thousands of users and servers are
experiencing less-than-optimal performance because of this kind of problem.
Are some or all of your IP phones rebooting every once in a while?  Even
this could have something to do with a duplex mismatch problem somewhere
between your IP phones and your Call Manager.

One question I have for folks is is whether duplex mismatch errors between a
switch and one device on a segment (network printer, PC, server, etc.) could
substantially degrade performance on the switch so that other links would be
impacted in a noticeable way.

Subject: BGP exam in prep. for the CCIE Lab!! [7:66432]

Hello,The new BGP exam(beta) for the CCIP exam is a great one (imho) in
prep. for the actual CCIE Lab.It really tests your skill and deep
understanding of your BGP knowledge..133 questions in 250 minutes
(slightly less than 2 minutes per question), which I think was not
enough.Diagrams after diagrams.The testing site refused to give
me just plain white sheets of paper and also refused for me to take my
color pens, even my normal pens!!.. So it was a real 'drag' trying
to
draw diagrams in the provided "plastic sheets" as it smudges and no
place
to write but on my knees!!. Reminded me so much of that 'dreaded
place' that many us have been or will be soon ;-> since I had
the similiar experience there!!!Uuh!! how my wrists hurt since they are
hanging on the edge of that stupid desk!! I have taken over 30 exams in
my professional career starting with the CNA/CNE 3 way back in 1995 with
no problem in acquiring generous sheets of white paper and plenty of
space to write...But this one??Anyways, the results are going to be
mailed in a couple of weeks. Just prep'd. for a week since someone last
week posted this new exam info. on this site...And as Monday the
31st
was the last day, I decided to take it on Friday (lest  I failed and
could retake it on Monday again!!) But since I am going to know the
results in a couple of weeks, I might just chill for now and pray I
passedhopefully I did ;->Anyone else who has taken the exam, any
feedback?Sincerely,CN

  Yes. The 2511 can also be used. Though, you need an octal cable
(8-async

practice
  lab environment, I'm sure you won't be configuring more than 8 or 9

  So a 2509-RJ is much more practical at least for me.

I've just begun my MPLS study which will be the last exam for the

will take once Mr. Solie comes out with his PSV II ..

When Mr. Solie ??   :-)

I have 2 study guides from Cisco for the MPLS: one that says MPLS
Concepts and the other that says MPLS/VPNDo I need to study both of
these for the MPLS exam or just the first one will suffice?

 If both, then do I need any additional books from Cisco Press to
supplement what I have?

Like Advanced VPN by Allwyn or MPLS Traffic Engineering book??

I have been to the Cisco Press site but I cannot find them there. It looks
like both books have been updated to newer editions. Does anyone have these
errata files? I have found that without these errata files the lab exercises
are near to useless due to the printing (and err..umm..just plain bad
answers) mistakes in the answers.

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm. That's an interesting question: does a duplex mismatch on one port
degrade performance on the switch in general? I'm thinking out loud here,
but I think it's unlikely.

It would depend on the the duplex mode that the switch port ended up in,
though, and the architecture of the switch. If the switch port ended up in
half duplex, and the port has a lot of frames to send, the port could end up
doing lots of retransmissions. It would retransmit every time it received
while sending. (That would be true for any half-duplex environment, even
without a mismatch, actually.)

If the switch isn't a non-blocking switch, the port that is busy
retransmitting could cause problems for other ports that have something to
send out that port. With head-of-the-line blocking, a frame at the front of
an input queue on some other port could be holding up every frame behind it
because the half-duplex output port is busy retransmitting and can't accept
another frame.

Cisco high-end switches don't have this problem. Switches based on the 5000
architecture have shared buffers where they can ship frames to get them out
of the way of frames behind them.

Now, let's say that the switch port decided it was full duplex but the other
side deciced it was half. That wouldn't cause a serious performance problem
at the switch. The switch port would see lots of runts and CRCs and have to
report them to management, but that shouldn't cause a significant
performance problem.

mid release IOS that solved my problem, however I did look stupid as my
router would die in the middle of the day, right when net usage was at its

Re: 3550s and L3 rate-limit (second attempt) [7:66291]

2003-03-29 Thread Brian Carroll
Mario,

The first part looks exactly right to me. You have used a
class-map/access-list duple to ID the traffic to be affected, put it into a
policy-map that defines the action to be taken, and then assigned it to an
interface via the service-policy statement. Exactly correct. You win the CAR
:)

I have never put both ingress and egress service-policy statements on an
interface though, so I cannot say why one would wipe out the other. It would
seem logical that you should be able to do 1 of each.

 You do not really specify what you mean by "playing with the ingress/egress
filtering statements" so I cannot comment about what you may have affected
except to say that it might be possible that if you reference a non-existing
access list the service-policy doesn't show because the configuration isn't
complete..this is a total guess though :)

Do your "show" commands reveal that your policies are in effect even when
the statements are not visible?

Re: EIGRP SUMMARY ROUTE METRIC [7:66344]

2003-03-29 Thread Brian Carroll
XY,

I would think that the metrics of the summarized routes do NOT affect the
summary route because the summary route originates on the router doing the
summarization. Therfore it would be advertised "clean" to the next router,
i.e. using only the default EIGRP metrics. So a router 3 hops away from the
router doing the summarization would see the summary route as having a
metric affected only by the links it had to cross to get to that router.
This would be the same as if the router doing the summarization were
originating any other route. The fact that it is a summarization does not
affect the metric.

AFAIK, of course! :)

Would these two configs have the same result? [7:66462]

2003-03-29 Thread Brian Carroll
S! ALL!

 The desired result is to allow only the default route to be sent to a
neighbor in AS2.

First way I did it:

router bgp 1
nei 192.168.100.10 remote-as 2
nei 192.168.100.10 default-originate
nei 192.168.100.10 distribute-list 1 out

access-list 1 permit 0.0.0.0
access-list 1 deny any


Second Way: Note that AS1 is a transit AS that has NO network statements.
Therefore the only update with a path of ^$ would be the path created by the
"nei 192.168.100.2 default-originate" statement.

router bgp 1
nei 192.168.100.2 remote-as 2
nei 192.168.100.2 default-originate
nei 192.168.100.2 route-map default-only out

ip as-path access-list 1 permit ^$

route-map default-only permit 10
match as-path 1

I do see that the first way would be less prone (actaully..fault proof ) to
errors going forward, i.e. were AS1 to originate another network it would
match as-path list 1. Still, for the situation as stated, either of these
ways of doing it meets the desired result, yes?

Thanks!

MLS and access lists [7:66464]

2003-03-29 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer
With Multilayer Switching (MLS), how does the MLS Switch (MLS-SE) know that
the router (MLS-RP) has an access list? In other words, how does the switch
know that it should use a destination flow mask, a destination-source flow
mask, or a full-flow mask? The access list, afterall, is on the router, not
the switch, according to descriptions of MLS.

The switch definitely knows, because you see different output with the "show
mls" command, but how does it know? Does the router pass it to the switch in
MLSP messages, or is there something more obvious that I'm missing.

With some access lists, an enable packet would never come back from the
router. Is that what triggers the switch to use the more advanced flow
masks? This would imply that the switch is always looking at upper layers
and knows that Telnet between 2 hosts results in an enable packet but FTP
(or whatever) does not. That seems like a lot of burden to put on a switch.

I checked Clark and Hamilton "Cisco LAN Switching," and the Ethernet LAN
switching papers at CertificationZone, but am still left wondering

Thanks for your help.

Priscilla

Does LAN to LAN VPN ever timeout? [7:66465]

2003-03-29 Thread supernet
A friend of mine and I had a discussion on this topic. 2 PIX LAN-LAN
VPN. He
said that by default, VPN will terminate in 24 hours if no traffic. When
bringing VPN up, the first packet always gets lost. Is this true?
Thanks.
Yoshi

Cisco's Unidirectional Link Detection protocol requires the two ends of the
link to send UDLD messages to each other. An end-user device wouldn't
understand the protocol and wouldn't send the messages.

It only works between switches, unless NIC vendors have implemented it, but
I haven't heard that any have.

UDLD probably won't help detect a duplex mismatch anyway. A link that has a
duplex mismatch problem isn't unidirectional. It's bidirectional but
hampered by errors and collisions, depending on traffic flow, rates, and load.

For UDLD to help with a duplex mismatch problem, the message interval would
have to be extremely small. The default for the interval is 15 seconds.
Unfortunately, the lowest you can set it is 7 seconds. With UDLD aggressive
mode, if one side detects a problem it does start sending UDLD packets every
second, which could help, but probably wouldn't help on most links.

When there's a duplex mismatch, the side using half duplex will have
problems sending, but the problem probably won't last for an entire second.
Ethernet retransmissions occur in milliseconds, not seconds.

UDLD helps with wiring faults, such as the receive and transmit fibers not
being connected to the same port on the remote side, and
misbehaving ports that can send but not receive or vice versa, but it's not
much help with a duplex mismatch problem on a link with typical traffic
characteristics.

RE: UDLD Questions [7:66461]

2003-03-29 Thread Jeffrey Reed
I was just reading about UDLD and it said if its not enabled on both ends,
it may not work correctly. I think you'd be taking a chance enabling UDLD on
an access port. Some CATOS switches have the errdisable function enabled by
default. When we installed our first few 6509's, ports were being disabled
automatically with any errors. Since mis-matched duplex causes errors, the
errdisable function is what you need..

Re: Wireless AP Chaining [7:66270]

2003-03-29 Thread Brian Carroll
S! ALL!

Here's my experience with trying to pass VLANS over Aeronet 350
bridges...this ties into this thread because we ran into issues when we
tried to link bridges...

glossary: trunk = "switchport mode trunk" with ALL VLANS allowed. 802.1q
encapsulation.

I run a single DS1 into an office park. There I have a 2620 terminating the
DS1 and using FE subinterfaces trunked to a 2950. This 2950 then has a trunk
to the root 350 Bridge. Then from there we link to other Bridges (currently
6 others in hub-spoke) in other buildings. Each building has a 350 bridge
trunked to a 2950. Clients then have Cat5 run to thier office CPE, usually a
firewall. Each client has thier own unique VLAN. There may be more than 1
client per building (in fact, the most populous building currently has 4
clients, and there are over 15 in all).

Like so:

DS1---2620--[trunk]--2950--[trunk]--ROOT
350Br350Br--[trunk]--2950--[VLAN x]--CPE

So this is a hub and spoke with one "ring" around the hub. As long as we
stay at this one "ring" level things are just fine.

BUT if I do this:

DS1---2620---2950---ROOT 350Br---350BR---350BR---2950---CPE

A client signed on with us last summer in a building that had no line of
sight to the root bridge's omidirectional antennae. So we tried to link them
to the root by passing them through an existing bridge, thus creating a
second "ring" tier. We tried it both using an existing bridge (that serviced
a building through a 2950 etc) and a dedicated bridge we mounted just for
this purpose. The result?

SEGV whenever anything was plugged into the switch at "ring" level 2 (far
end away from the root site). As soon as the interface in the client VLAN
came up...POW...SEGV.

The router would crash with a SEGV error. It would reboot and immediately
crash again...and again...ad infinitum The output was run through Cisco's
output interpreter...sent to TAC along with all configs...nada.

Note that "VLAN1" was able to traverse the network just fine. I could
console into the switch at ring-level 2 and go to any other switch in the
office park. Once anything went across in an 802.1q tagged frame though,
indeed as soon as an interface in the far switch NOT in VLAN1 came up, the
router crashed.

Notes of interest:

2620 was using 12.2.5d originally. I could get it to NOT crash if I went to
12.1.17 BUT no traffic would cross to the far switch AND the router and its
local switch would not talk on VLAN 1. Unacceptable.

All switches were VTP clients except the root, which is in server mode.
All VLANS showed up on all switches including the far switch.
I set the MTU to a low value, to no effect, thinking maybe the 802.1q tags
(4 extra bytes) could be an issue. Nada.
No VLAN capability was configured on the 350 bridges.
The far 350 cannot communicate with the root 350 so it is not looping
anything.
All associations seemed proper, i.e. far-to-middle, middle-to-root. All
"parent" listings seemed proper.
Bridge "IOS" was everything from 11.23 up (we tried em all in matched sets,
i.e. all 11.23 or all 12.0 etc).
The only interfaces assigned to the VLAN in question were the FE
subinterface on the 2620 and a single port on the far switch. No other
switches had any ports in this VLAN (trunk ports excepted, of course).
All links are at 60% level or greater and are supporting a full 11Mbps.
A port on the "middle" switch was configured to be in the same VLAN as the
client and it could NOT talk to the client.
The middle bridge has an omnidirectional antennae, so the "one at a time"
rule does not apply...or does it? Still, we did use a separate dedicated
bridge as the middle of the chain to no avail.

TAC swears that this should work because the 350 bridge is functionally a
hub. GIGO rules apply. It is unaware, nor does it care about the VLAN
tagging or anything else. It should just relay anything and everything.

Anyone got any suggestions? I'm open :)

Oh yeah...I "fixed" it by placing the far 350 at the other end of the
building where it could get LOS to the root...once the leaves fell off the
trees on the intervening ridge. Spring is coming though and with it, certain
loss of LOS. Short of a "chainsaw-in-the-night" approach, it seems a DS1 to
the client is my only answer.

S! (Salute!)

RE: MLS and access lists [7:66464]

2003-03-29 Thread cebuano
Hi Priscilla,
Quoting Multilayer Switching Companion Guide on p. 340...
MLS creates flows based on access lists configured on the MLS-RP...the
MLS-SE handles standard and extended access list PERMIT traffic...Route
topology changes and the addition or modification of access lists are
reflected in the IP MLS switching path automatically on the MLS-SE...the
MLS-SE learns of the change through MLSP  and immediately enforces
security.
I believe this is the reason why you need a L3 switch to do MLS.
HTH.

Subject: MLS and access lists [7:66464]

With Multilayer Switching (MLS), how does the MLS Switch (MLS-SE) know
that
the router (MLS-RP) has an access list? In other words, how does the
switch
know that it should use a destination flow mask, a destination-source
flow
mask, or a full-flow mask? The access list, afterall, is on the router,
not
the switch, according to descriptions of MLS.

The switch definitely knows, because you see different output with the
"show
mls" command, but how does it know? Does the router pass it to the
switch in
MLSP messages, or is there something more obvious that I'm missing.

With some access lists, an enable packet would never come back from the
router. Is that what triggers the switch to use the more advanced flow
masks? This would imply that the switch is always looking at upper
layers
and knows that Telnet between 2 hosts results in an enable packet but
FTP
(or whatever) does not. That seems like a lot of burden to put on a
switch.

I checked Clark and Hamilton "Cisco LAN Switching," and the Ethernet LAN
switching papers at CertificationZone, but am still left wondering

Thanks for your help.

Priscilla

2003-03-29 Thread Kennedy Clark
Hi Priscilla,

Your suspicion is 100% correct: the flow mask is signaled from the router
(RP) to the switch (SE) via the MLSP protocol.

Take care,
