802.1x authentication - minimal requirements? [7:74563]
Hi, Im new to this list(first post, been watching it for a while though) I'm having a hard time trying to find the minimal requirements for 802.1x authentication. Like what version of Cisco Secure ACS do I need (is 3.0 enough?) Are all switches supported (like 3500XL for example) And what would be the minimal iso requirements for the 3500 (if supported) and 2950... Does anyone of you know this?

PPP Question [7:74568]
Hiyah guys, I have a question on PPP CHAP. From the various sources, we just need to declare the remote router's username and have the same password, apply CHAP on the PPP serial interfaces and the link will be up. In my case, it doesn't work. It became a flapping link. I am using a 2500 and 2600 router to run PPP. Instead, I have to configure this: Router1 Username Router2 password abc Username Router1 password abc Router2 Username Router1 password abc Username Router2 password abc Applying CHAP now will have the link up. Any comments on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: PPP Question [7:74568]
The way chap works is one router has to "challenge" the other for Shared secret. If you look at it this way then you see the solutions If you do not want one router to challenge the other you can delete the Ppp authe chap or you can use ppp authe chap callin where you can say: "I will challenge the other just fo incoming calls and if he calls me I will not challenge him.." this way you need his username Bu you do not need your router's username in his database Try it! -Original Message- From: Kenneth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 5:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PPP Question [7:74568] Hiyah guys, I have a question on PPP CHAP.

RE: Cisco ICS 7750 experiences [7:74481]
Hello, I will be rolling out IPCC express and the 7750 in early Nov. at our call center (65 agents) and HQ 27 VP exec types. These two sites will be contacted by a PtP T1 just for voice. I am a little worried about call quality; did you get the echo taken care of? Any other tips you can pass on would be great. We have very simple call flow so the IPCC I am not to worried about but the whole project could effect 70% of our revenue (the call center) which equals about 80 million so I am stressed. :( I have decide to have 1 7940 on each desk and media termination points installed on the PCs for the CC agents to use. I feel this gives them the opportunity to use basically the soft phone but not relying on the PC for the sound card. Also not all desk our on the generator so if we lose power everyone will still have a phone. All network equipment will be on the generator. I am hoping by not using the PC sound card some of the voice quality problems will not be an issue. Let me know how it goes. ~Paul~ > -Original Message Snip- > got it configured pretty quick and, once it was up and I was making calls > across my PSTN, the only issues I had were a little echo.

Re: PPP Question [7:74568]
This should work. You can be overriding the hostname and the password by using the interface commands: ppp chap hostname ... ppp chap password ... also one more thing that you can be aware: in an outgoing call, if you do not want to send an OUTGOING CHALLENGE you can be using the "callin" option like: ppp authen chap callin To: Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 5:02 AM Subject: PPP Question [7:74568] > Hiyah guys, > > I have a question on PPP CHAP.

RE: ooking for CCIE practice test. What boson test [7:74274]
Actually, I just purchased CCIE Test #3 by Dennis. I was having a little bit of trouble with the older version so I installed the latest version of the software, 5.10 I think, and everything was fixed. Not only that, but in Dennis's test, he has multimedia tutorials as well. I only saw one of them, "How to hack a 2500". Really cool study material. I swear, Boson just keeps getting better and better. If you have the money, about $40 per test, I would highly recommend you get both Bernard and Dennis. :) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=74575&t=74274 -- **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html

mpls fragmentation [7:74577]
does anyone know if using frame-mode mpls affects the mtu on an interface? i can't help thinking that sticking in an extra 32-bit header would mean reducing the amount of user data that could be carried by 32 bits - causing fragmentation if the data field is already at its max for a given interface... apologies if the question is an inane one, but i'm just starting to get into this ls thang thomas Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=74577&t=74577 -- **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html
