Re: Cisco career advice needed [7:60013]

2002-12-31 Thread B.J. Wilson
 Does the CCIE qualification exam itself have any worth.

Aside from making you eligible to register for the Lab, no.

 I know that your not
 a CCIE without giving the actual Lab part of the exam, but how does the
CCIE
 written exam scale on its own, career wise. Does it help improve job
 prospects.

If you're taking the CCIE written exam in order to make yourself more
marketable, then you're taking it for the wrong reason.

 Say if i never appear for the LAB, for any reason, would the written exam
be
 any worth of mention, like say on my resume or as a credential.

In what manner would you mention this on your resume?  Under a list of other
certifications you've attained?  Passing the CCIE written exam does not earn
you a certification, so this would be inappropriate.

Let's be brutally honest here: the reason people are tempted to put CCIE
Written on their resume is so that their resume pops up whenever a
headhunter or hiring manager does a search for the term CCIE.  Since
passing the CCIE written exam is not an official indicator of any tangible
talent for installing and programming Cisco routers and switches, listing
CCIE Written on one's resume is tantamount to deceiving the headhunter
(and yourself!).  If you're going to put CCIE Written on your resume, you
may as well also put a PhD in Computer Science from MIT - hey, if you're
going to pull the wool over someone's eyes, why not go all the way? ;-)

The CCIE certification exists in order to recognize those who have *proven*
their expert-level skills.  Putting CCIE Written on one's resume cheapens
the certification and minimizes the inherent benefits of achieving it.  Say
it once, say it twice, say it a thousand times: passing the CCIE written
exam is not a certification and should not be indicated on one's resume.

(Again, sorry to be so dogmatic about this, but it's one of my hot buttons.
Pancakes are another one, so let's not even go there.)

 I think I'm keeping Amazon in business!

Funny, I'm taking the opposite tack: I've pretty much stopped buying Cisco
Press books, and have just started printing out PDFs from CCO.  Anytime I
want to learn something new, I start by doing a search for whatever it is,
followed by configuration guide pdf in the search box.  Usually something
useful comes up.  Then I just print it out on the company printer (duplex,
of course), punch holes in it, and stick it in a three-ring binder - voila,
instant study books.

 If the test prep you are using is for the CCNA exam then C is the
 correct
 Cisco answer (the use of Class B/Class C terminology makes me think
 this is the case). This is because Cisco still insists, at the CCNA
 level, on
 computing subnets using the formula 2^n-2.  This assumes that subnet
 zero and the all ones subnet are unusable.  Therefore you have to create
 16 subnets, resulting in 14 usable to get the required 8 subnets.

 In the real world, 255.255.224.0 is correct.

Good timing - we just had this conversation a couple of weeks ago. :-)

There's a difference between a protocol being connection-oriented and it

Frame Relay is connection-oriented in that it establishes a connection
between endpoints *before* any data is sent.  However, Frame Relay is
unreliable in that it does not perform any checks to make sure that every
frame sent is received by the other end.  Frame Relay relies on upper-layer
protocols (eg TCP) to perform this function.

Re: Multiple CCIE qualification exams then labs? [7:57019]

2002-11-06 Thread B.J. Wilson
 The real question is should I go ahead and go for multiple CCIE certs at
 once or is this just a really foolish idea.

I really, really, *really* don't want this to sound as caustic as it's going
to sound, but I gotta say it anyway: dude, passing the CCIE Written is
*nothing*.  You don't have *a* CCIE certification yet, much less are in a
position to go for a second.  Don't put CCIE Written or CCIE candidate
on your resume, because neither of those are actual *certifications.*  The
CCIE Written is a first step, nothing more (and a small first step at that,
in relation to the mammoth task of passing the Lab).  If you're looking for
resume boosters, either bite the bullet and take the CCIE Lab, or maybe go
for some of the CCIP certs instead.

(Again, sorry about the acidic response...people putting CCIE Written on
their resumes *really* bugs me, and it sounds like what you're doing.
Hopefully I'm wrong. :-)

Classification vs. Marking [7:56792]

Hey Proximo -

I'm sitting here looking over the outline of the DQOS test, and one of the

I'm looking over the QoS Config Guide, and can't seem to find any clear

 I hear cisco is doing away with set based. 
 Apparently the ccie lab includes
 two 3550's which are IOS based.  Whoever told
 me this said cisco bought the
 set based system and created IOS themselves, so
 the plan is to do away with
 set based and go completely with their own
 stuff.
 All that may be wrong, just what I heard.

This is correct.  Remember that the Catalyst switch line was originally made
by Kalpana (and Grand Junction sort of), which developed the set-based
commands independently of any Cisco involvement.  Cisco wisely realizes that
having a unified front makes their products more attractive to us lowly
engineers, and IMO the unification is a long time coming! ;-)

Re: Queuing question(s) again ! [7:56519]

2002-10-30 Thread \\B.J. Wilson\\
Hi Manish -

Regarding your questions about queuing:

 Should I take it to mean that all queuing
 schemes such is RTP and LLQ, which
 use a variant of WFQ as their basis have
 
 (1) 'modified' one queue to be act as a HIGH
 PQ, or if you like, System
 Queue 0 in custom queuing, in that it has to be
 drained first, before the
 other queues get serviced or  

Yes, I believe this to be true.  Keep in mind the evolution of queuing
mechanisms: after WFQ came CBWFQ and PQ simultaneously (I think - someone
correct my history if I'm mistaken).  PQ is *too* strict, and not granular
enough.  CBWFQ is too loose, and cannot guarantee that a certain type of
traffic will *always* get through.  Enter IP RTP Priority, which states that
RTP packets (usually voice) will *always* go through, and any other traffic
type will be handled in a WFQ fashion.  LLQ opens up the possibility of
giving
priority to other traffic types (not necessarily voice traffic), and then
handling everything else in a bandwidth-based WFQ fashion.

 (2) is it once again, a case of one queue
 having a higher weight which means
 more data gets sent, (but not all data), at
 each pass.

This is pure CBWFQ that you're describing here.

HTH,

BJ

 Am I wrong or the CBWFQ does allow you to strict priority a traffic class
 using the keyword 'priority' ?

The priority keyword is what differentiates LLQ from CBWFQ.  The priority
command is used when configuring the priority LLQ queue, whereas the rest
of the queues in LLQ can be configured with the bandwidth command.  The
priority command is not used with CBWFQ.

HTH,

Re: Queuing Question [7:56139]

 My question is this ... 
 (1) Since there are no configuration parameters
 for queue list 0, does
 custom queuing sort of have a 'priority' queing
 mechanism for Queue 0, in
 that Queue 0 will be completed 'drained' before
 the normal round-robin
 procedures occur for Queues 1 - 16, or

Yes, I believe this is what occurs.  The catch is that you (the engineer)
can't configure what goes into Queue 0, which leads to *my* question about CQ
- what goes into Q0?  I mean, if I leave CDP running, do all my CDP packets
go
into Q0?  Do SNMP traps go into Q0?  I'm basically looking for a *list* of
protocols that automatically get assigned to Q0.  Can anyone offer any
insight?

You can put the same configuration (ip address and interface-dlci) on the

 r(config-if)#encap frame-relay ietf

This all makes a lot of sense, but I have one remaining nit-picky issue. 
Going back to the original example of the remote user: when the user is in
the
office, they are connected to the network via their Ethernet port which
certainly has a MAC address.  However, when they're dialed in from home, they
might be using a modem which certainly does not have a MAC address.  Is the
H.323 application (whatever it may be, SoftPhone or whatever) smart enough to
send the Ethernet port's MAC address even though it's not being used in a
dial-in situation?  If not, how does CallManager learn the user's MAC
address?

 Unless the receiving phone is on the same

 work or the quality is really crappy, then typically they stay happy.  Not

  Am I right in saying that if we had a solution based on Cat 6000 (or

Frame Relay: connectionless or connection-oriented? [7:54706]

2002-10-02 Thread \\B.J. Wilson\\

Dear Silent Bob:

Okay lunchbox, my co-workers and I are trying to figure out if Frame Relay is
connectionless or connection-oriented.  A lot of documentation I'm reading
says it *is*, but somewhere in the chasms of my memory banks I can't help but
think that it is *not*, because a) it would be redundant given TCP's function
and b) it would add latency to the Frame cloud, which is supposedly optimized
for speed (one of the improvements Frame made to X.25).  Am I right, or have
I
been hitting the pipe a little too hard lately?

Your hetero life-mate,

Jay

RE: Frame Relay: connectionless or connection-orie [7:54707]

2002-10-02 Thread \\B.J. Wilson\\

Well, I tend to look at things from a global or Layer 1 through 7
perspective: does Frame Relay perform the same functions that TCP does?  In
other words, does it perform a check to make sure every single IP packet (or
Frame Relay frame) makes it from the ingress point of the Frame cloud to the
egress point?  I don't believe it does, and therefore I consider it
connectionless.

Now, from a *test* perspective (g...), I suppose the correct answer is
connection-oriented due to the reasons that Peter specified.

Fast Switching confusion [7:54421]

2002-09-28 Thread B.J. Wilson

Dear Joel -

I read in the Switching Services Configuration Guide, page XC-15, that
Fast switching is not supported on serial interfaces using encapsulations
other than HDLC.  This contradicts earlier examples, particularly where fast
switching is enabled on the hub side of a frame relay hub-and-spoke
configuration.  Is this line about HDLC a mistake, or what?

*Really* easy ISDN problem [7:54276]

2002-09-26 Thread B.J. Wilson

My Dearest Superman -

I'm having what should be an easily-solvable problem with ISDN.  I have a
feeling the problem is with the mapping, but Caslow talks about a dynamic
mapping function provided by PPP.  I don't see it happening.  Here's the
gist
of it:

Goal: Have R2 (12.1(5)) be the dialer to R3 (12.1(5)T8).  R3 may not initiate
any calls.

Result: R3 is receiving packets (RIP updates) from R2 once R2 initiates a
call.  However, R3 cannot send packets to R2, even with the call established.

debug ip packet on R3:
01:28:51: IP: s=1.1.1.3 (local), d=1.1.1.2 (BRI0), len 100, sending
01:28:51: IP: s=1.1.1.3 (local), d=1.1.1.2 (BRI0), len 100, encapsulation
failed.

Configs:

hostname r2
no ip domain-lookup
isdn switch-type basic-ni
!
interface Loopback0
 ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0
!
interface BRI0
 ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer idle-timeout 1
 dialer map ip 1.1.1.3 8358683
 dialer map ip 3.3.3.3 8358684
 dialer-group 1
 isdn switch-type basic-ni
 isdn spid1 0835868101
 isdn spid2 0835868201
!
router rip
 network 1.0.0.0
 network 2.0.0.0
 neighbor 1.1.1.3
!
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
!
end
---

hostname r3
no ip domain-lookup
isdn switch-type basic-ni
!
interface Loopback0
 ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.0
!
interface BRI0
 ip address 1.1.1.3 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer idle-timeout 1

 isdn switch-type basic-ni
 isdn spid1 0835868301

 neighbor 1.1.1.2
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.2
!
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
!
end

Any ideas why R3 can't send packets to R2 even when the call is
established?  I'm stumped on this simple problem.

All my love,

Lois Lane

Re: Simple static route redistribution [7:54040]

Router
B will need some static route back to Router A, or some other IGP needs to

cloud, but not back.

According to a couple of co-workers who are more knowledgeable about Windows
than I am, it would not be possible to find out from the desktop itself once
the history and Temporary Internet Files have been cleared (they note that
the

From the server side of things, the firewall and/or proxy server *might*
contain the information about the file, but you'd need to turn on pretty
detailed logging to get that sort of information.  You'd also need to know
the
name of the file to search for, unless you feel like looking through hundreds
and hundreds of log entries.

HTH,

 boss and say find me a project and I go to Chicago for a couple of

 This works really well keeping me up to date on new technology.
 
 At a previous company, the boss walked in one day and said You are going

 like
 South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana.  This project lasted 4 months, when it
was
 over we were laid off.
 
 I still prefer consulting, because I get more exposure to new technology.
 When I worked for non-consulting companies, I tended to install things
and
 then watch it run for 6 months.  I got real bored.
 
 When interviewing with consulting companies find out what they expect for
 travel.  Somewhere like Chicago you could work 100% of the time in the
 greater Chicago area.  Other times you will be flying around the company.
 What do you want?  What do they expect??

Chuck brings up a good point, one that has been thought of before: back
during the height of the arms race, it was theorized that it's a real bad
idea to centralize all of your capital.  It was thought that maybe all the
factories should be spread out evenly, rather than concentrated in any one
place - that way, there would be no one place that a nuclear weapon could be
detonated that would cause a *major* amount of damage.  (Kinda like a Borg
spaceship, in a sense).  I'm hoping that some of the result of this is that
we de-centralize as much as possible - skyscrapers are great if you're
hurting for land space, but they're also juicy targets.  Hopefully we'll
spread our resources out a bit in order to avoid another tragedy like this.

of
 investment and investment capital. how long will it take to get things
 straight? you will see spillovers into the stock market, into planning,
into
 corporate spending. that translates into jobs.

 yes there will be rebuilding that must take place, and this will
eventually
 mean an economic boost. but maybe not for New York City. If I were a
 survivor of one of these firms, and had the chance to build from scratch,
I
 would seriously consider relocating to Kansas. And I do not say that
 sarcastically.

 this tragedy spills way beyond what one might think. In an economy as weak
 as ours is now, this is real bad news indeed.

Well, since we're off-topic anyway...maybe if God existed, this incredible
loss of life wouldn't have occurred in the first place.  Part of rebuilding
our society involves rebuilding our economy, so it's worth discussing.  As
far as life is concerned, I'm donating blood later today, and I've made sure
my two friends who live in NYC are okay.  What are you doing besides

  access-list 101 deny tcp any eq www any
  access-list 101 permit ip any 172.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
  access-list 101 permit ip any any
 
  This list was created on an MSFC card running in a 6509 chassis, and
  has
  been applied to interface Vlan1 inbound (I tried outbound as well just

 This is not cisco, but alot of things aren't.  I received this from my
 brother-n-law.  Any vietnam vets out there in cisco land?

 It is entitled:  Who is doing the honoring?

 =
 Who is doing the honoring? Whether or not you believed in the war, this is
 the story of an American's reprehensible actions towards other Americans
who
 were ordered to serve and did serve. McCain has forgiven her, more in
the
 spirit of making peace with another human being. He would probably not
 support this award. Pass it on if you agree. Has THAT much time past? Have
 Americans forgotten? Read this (its signed at the bottom): REMEMBER, SHE
WAS
 KNOWN TO US ALL AS - HANOI JANE. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of
the
 ''100 Great Women of the Century.'' Unfortunately many have forgotten, and
 still countless others have never known, how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only
 idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during
 Vietnam. Part of my conviction comes from personal exposure to those who
 suffered her attentions. The first part of this is from a McDonnell
Douglas
 F-4E Phantom pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In
 1978, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo
 Prison (the ''Hanoi Hilton.''). Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,
 cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was ordered to describe for a
 visiting American ''Peace Activist'' the ''lenient and humane treatment''
 he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged away. During
 the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp commandant's feet,
 which sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col. still suffered from
 double vision (which permanently ended his flying days) from the
Vietnamese
 Col.'s frenzied application of a wooden baton. From 1983-85, Col. Larry
 Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4Es). He spent 6 years in the ''Hilton'' --
 the first three of which he was ''missing in action.'' His wife lived on
 faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned / fed /
 clothed routine in preparation for a ''peace delegation'' visit. They,
 however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they
 still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN on
it,
 in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman,
she
 walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging
 snippets like: ''Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?'' and ''Are you
 grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?''
Believing
 this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She
took
 them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the
camera
 stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the
 officer in charge, and handed him the little pile of papers. Three men
died
 from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost number four but he
 survived, which is the only reason we know about her actions that day. I
was
 a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by
the
 North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held for over 5
 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage in
 Cambodia, and one year in a black box in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese
captors
 deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a
 leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle
near
 the Cambodian border. At one time, I was weighing approximately 90 lbs.
(My
 normal weight 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's ''war criminals.'' When Jane
 Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if
I
 would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I said yes, for I would like to
 tell her about the real treatment we POWs were receiving, which was far
 different from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and
parroted
 by Jane Fonda, as ''humane and lenient.'' Because of this, I spent three
 days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a large
amount
 of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane till my arms
 dipped. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of
hours
 after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on
 TV. She did not answer me. This does not exemplify someone who should be
 honored as part of ''100 Years of Great Women.'' Lest we forget . . .
''100
 years of great women'' should never include a traitor whose hands are
 covered with the blood of so many patriots. There are few things I have
 strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant
 treason, is one of them. Please take the time to

I don't think it really matters which routing protocol you use.  The
inside interface is the one with the address you want to keep private
(like a 10.0.0.0 address).  The outside interface is the one with a
publically-routable address (anything other than 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, or
