Re: Cisco 3000 VPN Concentrators (DSP add-on) [7:35059]

2002-02-10 Thread Chuck

A quick try on google revealed a couple of hits indicating that yes DSP
chips are used for IPSec encryption/decryption.

http://www.ssh.com/about/press/2000/release08062000(2).cfm

http://business.vsnl.com/kbs/dsp.html

http://www.broadcom.com/pbs/BCM3352.pdf

for example.

Seeing that, and knowing that a DSP ( digital signal processor ) is a
computationally speedy IC used for processing complex signals associated
with real time audio and video, it occurs to me that why couldn't the
architecture be used to service the computationally intense processing that
IPSEC entails?

Howard? BSEE's?

Re: MAC Address format [7:35203]

2002-02-12 Thread Chuck

In fairness to the original poster, different manufacturers, and even within
Cisco, different product lines, have different ways of entering/configuring
MAC's.

True, a MAC is 48 bits, and true, there are different ways of representing
them. Most books I have read use the .. format. some sources
might use colons instead of periods.

But in terms of configuration, on a Cisco router the configuration format is
1224.5678.abcd while on a catalyst 5000 switch the format is
12-34-56-78-ab-cd

The guy who posted the original question noted that on 3com garbage
equipment the format is 12:23:56:78:ab:cd

Re: Easy ways to pick up a few extra minutes on the CCIE lab. [7:35613]

2002-02-16 Thread Chuck

I borrowed some of these from other folks. Some I derived myself. In the
real lab I found myself using some more than others. knowing the various
switches makes these very useful. note that first two lines - for your
initial configuration of routers, this helps immensely, assuming you have
made no typos.

My favorite dumb thing I once did was mis typing exec-timeout 0 4 that one
was real fun to correct.

I should probably add an eigrp command or two. also an alias for "exit" as
several of these aliases don't work unless you are at the
router(config)> prompt

come to think of it, aliases for show access-list and show route-map might
be useful as well. I hesitate for feat that I'll end up spending too much
time creating the list ;->

enable

no ip domain-lookup
no ip http server
ip classless

I've been told that they frown on people even saving things like their

Re: Secondary ip address and ip helper-address [7:35601]

2002-02-16 Thread Chuck

One must be wary of using secondary addresses. As has been discussed here
many a time, in many a context, secondary addressing on routers is
problematic. Adjacencies in various routing protocols do not form. Routes do
not get exchanged.

In general, the router will use the primary address as it's source for lots
of things, including DCHP forwarding.

one solution to the particular problem might be to use the router itself as
the local DHCP server.

Re: redistribution and tags [7:35624]

2002-02-16 Thread Chuck

Route maps are essentially built around an "if then else(if)" logic. the
point of their activation is the point of their inception.

therefore if you were to have a route-map such as:

route-map eigrp_tag_igrp permit 10
 match tag X
 set metric 1 100 255 1 1500

and the redistribute statement:

router igrp 100
redistribute eigrp 50 route-map eigrp_tag_igrp

then the logic flow is:

1) take a route learned from eigrp 50
2)if the tag for that route is X then set the metric as stated and
redistribute it into IGRP 100
3) else don't redistribute

in this case, only those routes with a tag of X learned from eigrp 50 will
be redistributed into igrp ( subject to the classfulness of the route )

sometimes it can be a little difficult to determine where exactly things
happen in the various processes on a router. for example, linear
redistribute seems not to occur at all, even if that does not seem logical.
( can't redistribute from rip to igrp to ospf an the same router, not and
get anything coherent or predictable as a result ) however, in this case,
the logic appears to be straightforward, so far as I can tell.

Re: redistribution and tags [7:35624]

2002-02-17 Thread Chuck

I did a little bit of research on this, being curious as to the reason for
your question.

essentially, the logic illustrated below works just fine. the questions that
came up are:

1) how to tag the eigrp routes in the first place and
2) why the routes may not appear in IGRP assuming the eigrp tags exist.

there may be a way to tag the routes natively, but I have not found it. tags
can be set during redistribution into eigrp using route-maps.

don't forget the metric commands when redistributing into igrp and eigrp.
routes do not get redistributed without a metric assignment. I experienced
difficulty when using a route-map to set the metric. I ended up using a
default metric under the eigrp process.

the setup:

OSPF->EIGRP--->IGRP

ospf routes have a tag of 200

O192.168.23.0/24 [110/74] via 192.168.34.3, 00:19:09, Ethernet0
O192.168.33.0/24 [110/11] via 192.168.34.3, 00:19:09, Ethernet0
R4#

D192.168.106.0/24 [90/2297856] via 192.168.47.4, 00:16:05, Serial0
C192.168.47.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0
D192.168.105.0/24 [90/2297856] via 192.168.47.4, 00:16:05, Serial0
I192.168.8.0/24 [100/8976] via 192.168.78.8, 00:01:17, Serial1
 156.26.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
D EX 192.168.23.0/24 [170/2195456] via 192.168.47.4, 00:15:15, Serial0
D EX 192.168.34.0/24 [170/2195456] via 192.168.47.4, 00:15:15, Serial0
D EX 192.168.33.0/24 [170/2195456] via 192.168.47.4, 00:15:17, Serial0
R7#

note the external routes in EIGRP - these originate in OSPF, and should have
a tag of 200
the "D" routes ( native EIGRP ) will have no such tag

I192.168.23.0/24 [100/10576] via 192.168.78.7, 00:00:16, Serial1
I192.168.34.0/24 [100/10576] via 192.168.78.7, 00:00:17, Serial1
I192.168.33.0/24 [100/10576] via 192.168.78.7, 00:00:18, Serial1
R8#

note that the only IGRP routes are those that appear as EIGRP external
routes on R7 ( those redistributed from OSPF, and having the tag of 200.
note that the EIGRP native routes of 192.168.105.0 and 106.0 do not appear

things to check:

1) proper construction of the route maps

2) setting of a default-metric within the eigrp and igrp processes so that
routes are redistributed and/or accepted by those processes

3) that tags are actually being applied to routes as you believe they should
be.

Re: redistribution and tags [7:35624]

2002-02-17 Thread Chuck

hmmm interesting discussion. the scenario reminds me of something I saw
from someplace called NT Labs, maybe?

Let's see if I can sketch the scene:


R1-R2-R3
IGRP bunch of stuff  OSPF/EIGRP

R2:

router IGRP
  redistribute OSPF route-map filter-ospf-tag
  redistribute EIGRP route-map filter-eigrp-tag

router eigrp
  redistribute OSPF tag 1

R3

router ospf
  redistribute eigrp tag 2

seems to me there is a trick in here somewhere. maybe on R2, where
redistribution into IGRP contains the possibility of route leak? maybe not
in this topology. maybe if the topology were a ring or a circle, and there
are two points of mutual redistribution? Slattery's book has an interesting
exercise along that line, and I'm not sure I ever got the filters tweaked
right in that one.

Re: DNS Request Redirection [7:35703]

2002-02-17 Thread Chuck

consider that the DNS request packet has a destination address of the server
of your former ISP. what you are trying to accomplish, if I understand you
correctly, is to change that destination address. Policy routing can change
the next hop, but it cannot change the destination IP of the packet in
question.

why not leave well enough alone? is there any reason DNS is not being
answered by the servers of your former ISP? Do they filter DNS requests from
sources not in their space? If not, everyone is happy. If so, then your
choices are to visit each machine and physically change the DNS information,
or to set up DHCP, and then visit each machine to physically set up DHCP on
them.

Re: DNS Request Redirection [7:35703]

2002-02-18 Thread Chuck

hhmmm.

as I understand the original question, each workstation in the network in
question is hard coded for DNS.

So, if for example, my machine is hard coded for DNS server 207.126.96.162
( my ISP DNS server ) and I change ISP's, and make no changes to my
workstation, then any DNS request will have a destination address of
207.126.96.162

The question, as I understand, if how to change that destination address
without making workstation visits.

Policy routing can change next hop, but not destination address. NAT
outbound changes source address, not destination address.

Unless there is a packet interceptor that takes all DNS requests, and
physically changes the destination address, the user has few options.

Again, IF the former ISP does not restrict DNS requests to its own address
space, i.e. accepts DNS requests from anywhere, then there is no problem,
and no changes need be made.

However IF ( and this would be good practice for a lot of reasons ) the
former ISP does indeed restrict DNS requests to source addresses within its
own space, then there will have to be additional changes on the user
network.

This whole discussion illustrates why people SHOULD follow best practice
from the get go. If they want to hard code IP's, then I believe DHCP can be
configured so that it provides only DNS info and default gateway info, for
example. the people who have insisted that their network hard code
everything are now learning the hard lesson.

the simple way to test this would be to set your workstation with some other
ISP's DNS address, and see how things go. In one of my posts I provided the
real IP of an active DNS server. Someone want to give it a try? or post one
that you know about. I'll be happy to test.

I wish the guy who posted the original question would get back to us with
his results.

Re: what is wrong with the job market ? [7:35611]

2002-02-18 Thread Chuck

in the case of a number of the CLEC's, part of the problem was the old telco
monopoly that they had to fight.

companies like COVAD, Northpoint, Concentric ( now part of XO ) to name a
few, were there firstest with the mostest while the telco's dragged their
feet on bringing DSL to their customer base. All the time racking up
revenues through their local loop charges.

Now the telcos are in the market full tilt boogie, steamrolling the CLEC's
by taking advantage of their existing base, and more importantly, their
existing infrastructure.

I've had DSL through Concentric/XO, and before that with Flashcom. In both
cases, new wire had to be used for me to get my line. The telco racked up
the installation charges, and the local loop revenue.

Now, the telco is offering to come in, and throw DSL on my existing dial
tone line, something the CLEC's couldn't do. The result is that the telco
can charge slightly less for DSL, and they don't have any additional costs
in terms of wiring.

the pure economics of it is that the telcos continue to have the distinct
advantage. They sat back, let the CLEC's do all the initial work, let the
CLEC's do all the initial marketing, and then they blew in and blew the
CLEC's out of business.

IPX default network / default route [7:35789]

2002-02-18 Thread Chuck

Not an exciting topic, but you never can tell where this might show up ;->

R1--R3--R4--R7-R8
 |---tunnel--|ethernet   serialserial

1FA.0010.7b7e.ebdf 8.8.8.8

no routing takes place between R1 and R3

R1 has a default route to R3

R3 advertises a default route to the tunnel interface address of R1

R1 relevant configuration:

ipx route default AFFA.0003.0003.0003

note that although the IPX default-network command has been entered, it does
not show up in the configuration output

R3 relevant configuration:

ipx route default AFFA.0001.0001.0001
!
ipx router rip
 no network AFFA
!

note - to break routing between R1 and R3 I had to remove the tunnel
interface from the routing process.

R1 routing table:

S   FFFE via AFFA.0003.0003.0003,Tu13

C1FA (SAP),   Et0
C   11AA (UNKNOWN),   Lo1
C   AFFA (TUNNEL),Tu13
R1#

note the default route. note there are no other IPX routes in the table. IPX
routing is not taking place. the default route points to the tunnel
interface address of R3.

R3 routing table:

S   FFFE via AFFA.0001.0001.0001,Tu13

R  8 [14/02] via  1FB..0c8d.2257,   49s, Et0

note there are lots of IPX routes, but the default is to the tunnel
interface

R1, with no routes other than the default route, can ping an unknown
network. ( extended ping, because the IPX network in question would be
interpreted as an IP address otherwise )


Some points of interest:

1) IPX default-route must be issued on every router where you want the
default route to be advertised. this does not show up in the running or
stored config.

2) while the default-route can be associate with a physical interface, one
can use an IPX network as well. that network cannot reside on the router
where the ipx route default command resides.

3) when constructing an IPX default route, one needs keep in mind the
requirements. It does not work at all like an IP default route.


My topology probably limits the usefulness of the IPX default route.

Hope this is of some use to some of you.

Chuck

I think what you are talking about is a static nat ( conduit, in Cisco
speak )

It's done all the time, for just the reason you mention. any device for
which you want / need a single internet face, use a static NAT.

Re: what is wrong with the job market ? [7:35611]

2002-02-19 Thread Chuck

one reason so many CLEC's have gone under is that prices are too low, not
too high. They were  unable to attain positive cash flow.

All these 100 mbs college students have benefited from what has been
effectively a free resource. Once they start paying their own bills, their
attitudes may well change.

this is a well known economic principal, essentially a function of supply
and demand. When a product or service is free, then demand is limited only
by supply. When a product or service costs, then demand becomes limited by
the willingness and ability of people to pay. If my high speed internet
access is free, then I "need" all these services. If I have to pay for it,
then maybe I don't really "need" as much as I thought I did.

Re: Current CD Rom Documentation [7:35930]

2002-02-19 Thread Chuck

This post gives me a good excuse to break open the most recent doc CD that I
have - dated October 2001.

this one contains the 12.2 documentation. It is in the new format, with the
drop down menus.

The search engine is still crap, and your best bet is to continue to
practice drilling down through the menus.

I don't think it is a violation of NDA to mention that my last time through
the lab, the doc CD available to me was still using the old format. I don't
recall if 12.2 was on it or not. It may have been, but since 12.1 was what
was advertised as the Lab IOS, I just went to the 12.1 doc section when I
needed to look something up. Not that it mattered, because my pod had not
yet been upgraded at the time.  ;->

so.

BFD, packets can be sniffed and access to certain sites can be blocked. so
what? nothing new here. We get questions on this list regularly about how to
do it. There are several companies, including but not only Cisco, who make a
lot of money selling content blocking products.

Most things in life can be used for good or evil. The internet is no
different. Corporate and government response to the internet is no
different.

BTW, does the US government filter access to the internet for it's employees
and from it's offices? bet they do!

Re: redistribution and tags [7:35624]

2002-02-20 Thread Chuck

ooh ooh, I'm getting ready to have some fun with this one. got it mocked up
in my lab. just want to clarify something prior to jumping through hoops and
writing a report.

On R4 you have mutual redistribution between OSPF and EIGRP?  ospf---> eigrp
and eigrp -ospf ??

On R2 you have the same - ospf to eigrp and eigrp to ospf
and you have igrp into what and what into igrp? both going both ways?

Scott, you have a mess from the get go. ;->

Chuck

P.S. I'm considering opening up the pod to internet access after I have this
up and working. there is a technical detail to work out. I'll let you know.

Re: %Error: No System flash chip information available - Help [7:36077]

2002-02-21 Thread Chuck

on the 25xx series, you can have 2x4 meg or 2x8 meg

I believe what needs be done is to enter the command

partition flash 1

this will perform some magic that will result in one great big 16 meg flash
after reloading.

Re: hop count in EIGRP? [7:36082]

to augment the other answers, the IP hop count is really the IP TTL value.
It can never exceed 255

EIGRP defaults to 100 hops, so I would expect that the routing packet IP TTL
is set at 100 at that point.

Well ( checking the sniffer trace that Priscilla so thoughtfully supplied a
couple of days ago ) I'm seeing the IP TTL as 2. Still, maybe there is an
adjustment made. After all, the (E)IGRP metric includes end to end metrics.
hhmmm... ( looking over Priscilla's trace again ) way down there I see an
EIGRP hop count 0 line.

the IP TTL is still really the only thing that makes sense in terms of the
way IP works.

Anyone?

the question is - what does the command do? it does not appear in the

ip anything else.

if you can explain what the command "autonomous-system" does, I'm all ears.

Re: hop count in EIGRP? [7:36082]

2002-02-21 Thread Chuck

it gets complicated, routing protocols versus ip packets.

first of all, if I understand correctly, all ip routing protocols use ip
headers. The routing protocol packet is the payload, and not an entity unto
itself. I have seen traces of OSPF packets showing IP TTL of various values.
Someone shared with me some traces to validate something I suspected - that
the OSPF virtual link packet has an initial TTL of 255. My theory is that it
has to be deliberately set high because there is no predicting the number of
hops a virtual link will traverse.

The eBGP multihop command sets the IP TTL to something greater than the
native BGP TTL of 1.

EIGRP? Don't know. Was merely speculating. But consider - where else might
the "hop limit" occur? The EIGRP header has no field indicating hop count
that I can see. My source is the Rad Com World of Protocols book.

Yes, RIP and RIPv2 contain within the RIP packet ( not the IP header ) a
field in which metric / hopcount is carried. This leads me to believe that
RIP does nothing to manipulate the IP TTL value. The others appear to do
just that, however.

Re: hop count in EIGRP? [7:36082]

2002-02-21 Thread Chuck

BTW, it occurs to me that we have had this discussion before. There being
nothing in the routing table indicating IGRP or EIGRP hop counts, how does
(E)IGRP "know" the diameter of the network of which it is a member? And why
would it "care"? ;->

Maybe one of these days I'll daisy chain the routers in my lab, and set the
max hops to 4 and see what happens ;->

Re: NAT Detection Utility [7:36248]

2002-02-22 Thread Chuck

you might be surprised...

I'm currently involved with a couple of universities, in the sales process.
of the three campuses with which I have been engaged, all are using public
IP space on their inside network, and from here in my study, using my
personal IP connection, I can ping just about every IP address I try on
their inside networks, supposedly behind firewalls...

It would appear, then, that these colleges have just such a policy -
forbidding NAT. ;->

I kid you not. I was speaking with one of my associates the other day about
one of these campuses, and he told me he was able to set up an OSPF
adjacency with one of the routers on the inside network.

Amazing!!

Re: cipt [7:36148]

2002-02-23 Thread Chuck

I'm taking the Knowledgenet CIPT class currently. The instructor claims
among other things to be involved with the people at Cisco who do the actual
test writing. No he does not give us inside information. But as we cover the
materials, he will point out areas where the book is a bit thin, and add a
couple of points to consider. he also says this is another typical Cisco
test with poorly written questions.

CIPT is essentially configuring Call Manager. So hands on would be quite
helpful. I have not taken the test, but I am guessing that there would be
questions which require you knowing the menus. Certainly there would be
questions about sequence of set up, and the various features such as route
patterns, media resources, templates, route plans, patterns and masks,
partitions, yada yada

my impression is that lab practice is a definite plus here

Also, the instructor did mention that Cisco is revamping the CIPT test, and
lowering the passing score. I don't recall if he gave a number or not. His
advice to us was to make sure we got the new test, not the old one.

not meaning to plug knowledgenet in particular, but one of the fringe
benefits I have is access to a real call manager server for study purposes.
The neat thing is that this is a web class, and access to the labs is web
based. So I can study at odd hours of the day and night as time permits.

there's still time.

1) redistribution between any two routing protocols over any topology.

2) route filtering - there is more than one way

3) there is a topic that may be NDA if I say anything specific, but for
which there is a specific CCNP test, and which if you read this and/or the
CCIE list you see all kinds of questions, complaints, concerns.

4) there is one very important topic, but I don't want to say it directly
because I believe it crosses the NDA line. It has been discussed many times
here and over on the CCIE lab list. hope you have covered it. you may want
to check the archives of both lists to see what kinds of things are covered.

Off Topic - HR 1542 vote Wednesday [7:36446]

2002-02-25 Thread Chuck

My employer internal e-mail is telling me that HR 1542 comes up for a vote
this Wednesday. If you have an opinion one way or another, you may want to
express it to your representative.

HR 1542 would among other things allow RBOCs to enter into the long distance
data market ( not voice, so I'm told ) It is also supposed to open up the
ISP broadband market, which my employer says is dominated by cable companies
and bankrupt CLEC's.

IMHO this would prove among other things a real boon to voice over IP as
well as data only networks, as your customers or your company could now
obtain more or al of their service from a single carrier within any of the
RBOC regions. ( There would still be 3rd party participation across RBOC
boundaries. )

I personally think this is a good idea, but you may disagree. In either
case, let your reps know how you feel.

Chuck

Re: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]

2002-02-25 Thread Chuck

I think the Apple versus Microsoft  and the Lotus versus Borland "look and
feel" lawsuits of the late 80's / early 90's pretty much resolved that
concern. Tain't no such thing as "look and feel" infringement.

It still brings a smile to my face, thinking how Phillippe Kahn ( sp? ) was
totally snookered by Microsoft with regards to the Borland purchase of
Ashton Tate ( Dbase II ), and Microsoft's subsequent purchase of FoxPro.

And yes Foundry is good stuff.  The selling points are a bit different than
Cisco selling points. It gets down to what best serves the customer.

Re: Was Re: Where is Bruce Caslow ECP1 Class? [7:36501]

2002-02-26 Thread Chuck

Take a lesson from the financial markets. Call this an investment in the
future. The best time to buy stocks is when they are low. (
duhh )

The best time to educate and improve yourself is when the market is slow.
Now is the time to invest in yourself - training, experience, whatever you
can get.

the market is starting to come back. it's hard to tell, but this is because
jobs are a trailing indicator. Companies will delay new hiring until they
are certain the market is recovering. The economy is indeed recovering as we
speak, according to the leading indicators. This will not be reflected in
the current job market. We may not see the job market improve for several
more months. But I can tell you, I'm seeing a lot more in terms of customer
activity than I was seeing six months ago. Or three months ago, for that
matter. the biggies are VoIP and VPN, but there is a good share of
infrastructure upgrade. Without the idiots from defunct places like M1
mucking up the dialogue, customers are getting better advice IMHO, and are
seeing the value of investing now.

I suspect the real question here is whether or not there is value to being a
CCIE as opposed to some other certification, or expertise in networking in
general. We could debate this point until doomsday and never come up with a
definitive conclusion. IMHO the skills acquired during the CCIE Lab prep
process are valuable. The cert itself may or may not be of value to a
particular employer.

My own opinion - always invest in yourself. Invest in the skills that will
keep you challenged and keep you employed.

Re: ATM question [7:36496]

not to be a smart ass, but it depends. below are some ideas based on what my
local telco offers:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
> Greetings all,

> Couple of general questions about ordering ATM services.

> 1- At what increments can I order ATM from a service provider

this is dependent upon the local telco. in this area thre minimum is ATM
T1 - 1.54 you can order 1, 2, 4, or 8, and use IMA to inverse mux them.
after that the local telco here offers 25 mbs and 45 mbs. and so on.

> 2- What kind of termination equipment normally used (ATM DSU, etc)

depends on your decision based on #1. T1 ATM would usually terminate on ATM
IMA equipment. this can be a router blade, or an external box from someplace
like Adtran of Kentrox ( yes I know they changed their name ) up to 45 mbs
would probably come in on a DS3 electrical ( coax ) but more likely the
telco would hand off fiber. OC3 and up would definitely be fiber.

> 3- what are the cost for ATM services.

depends on the local telco. I don't know pricing off hand as I sell
equipment and the telco people sell transport. I believe that a T1 ATM
around here is about the same cost as a regular T1

> 4- Please add anything here that might be relevant to my above
> questions.

keep probing your provider - ask a lot of questions. get a second opinion
from a different provider. keep in mind that prtoviders will charge you in
part based upon the pricing they get from theri telco. If the telco charges
the ISP 5K for transport, the ISP is going to charge you 6K so they can make
some money. Shop around.

Re: BGP metrics [7:36596]

2002-02-26 Thread Chuck

how does the router know?  I would imagine the router OS checks the BGP
origin. If I am AS 559 and I receive a BGP route that originates in AS 559,
it is either iBGP, or I have a loop. If AS 559 is the only AS in the AS
path, it follows that it is an iBGP route, and therefore is assigned an AD
of 200.

make sense?

Re: speaking of PIX clones [7:36593]

if you ever want to see something funny, tell a customer in the presence of
a Cisco account team that the customer should sell his old stuff on eBay
rather than trade it in to Cisco.

if looks could kill...

on a more serious note, while Cisco can make a very good legal case against
folks who buy used routers, then download new IOS images, I think it might
be very difficult for them to take legal action against people who sell used
Cisco equipment, or those who buy. This ground has already been covered with
used PC's, used IBM computer and terminal equipment, used cars, used books,
etc etc etc.

Security Design - PIX or Whatever [7:36677]

2002-02-27 Thread Chuck

Just to remove this topic from that other thread about PIX clones, Patrick
R. brought up some good points in one of his posts.

Security design ( which is apparently NOT what cisco teaches or tests in
their security programs ) is a lot more than just closing ports and doing
NAT.

Many organizations have reason to segregate various pats of their network
from eachother. Financial institutions, medical organizations, insurance
companies, any operation that has information that is "need to know" has
reason to set up multiple security zones. We cover some of this thinking
when we talk about access-lists. Modern multiport firewalls take this to its
logical extreme in their design and philosophy.

for example, given a County School Board, which has an internet connection,
and permits multiple school districts to share that internet connection
through a WAN. Is it reasonable or rational, let alone good security
practice, to consider a two port firewall as adequate protection? ( three
port if there is a DMZ for, say, school web sites ) 

how about a brokerage firm, where there are supposed to be "chinese walls"
between their sales, investment banking, and research operations?

what about any company with payroll, human resources, sales, "trade secret"
operations such as manufacturing or patent development?

With everyone become interconnected, it is more important than ever to study
security in terms of protecting assets, rather than filtering ports or
addresses. Identification of those assets is an integral part of the
process.

Re: Security Design - PIX or Whatever [7:36677]

2002-02-27 Thread Chuck

don't even get me started on this. I work for an organization that uses
employee SSN numbers for validation purposes in a lot of instances. So when
I call the Help Desk to complain about e-mail ( an ongoing problem ) I am
asked to provide my SSN to the folks there. In these days of rampant and
easy identity theft, how smart is it to allow access to a large database of
valid SSN's to practically everyone who asks?

HIPAA??? isn't that on hold for review?  You know, I was reading through one
of the drafts and I thought I saw something that floored me - the regulators
were stating that multiplexed links such as frame relay and ATM were
considered unsecure because different organizations were "sharing" circuits.
The implication was that healthcare organizations would have to move to
point to point technologies - most of which end up passing through ATM
backbones anyway. Sheesh.

Longer term I believe that security solutions will involve end to end
encryption - server to host, on the LAN as well as the WAN, in addition to
what is already done on VPN's.

I always liked the HIPAA provision about management responsibility and
management fines and jail time for failure to comply. Wish that were so in a
lot of other industries where I have worked. ;->

Re: BGP metrics [7:36596]

2002-02-27 Thread Chuck

I checked RFC 1771 just to be sure. You are correct that I should not have
discussed this in terms of the AS-PATH

Within the BGP update message there is a field defined as "path attributes"

One of the sub fields of path attributes is the "origin" . bit settings
within this sub field are the indicator if a route is iBGP, eBGP, or
incomplete. The originating router sets these bits, I presume based on the
nature of its neighbor relationship.

In answer to the original post, the answer to these kinds of questions can
usually be found within the published standard. The router, being a
computer, merely processes data and produces information based upon the
results of that processing.

Take the words of this two time loser with the appropriate grain of salt,
but consider well how you organize your notes. You will be writing down
observations, sketching lab setups, and testing a lot of things. You will be
making extensive notes. You will most definitely want to review your
findings occasionally. It doesn't matter how - whether you use file folders
or notebooks, but you will definitely want to group your notes not only by
date, but by topic.

I have a lot of reasonably good notes on a lot of topics. Damned if I can

Re: ppp multilink cmd. prevents pings?? [7:36465]

2002-02-27 Thread Chuck

this one has been kicking around in my thoughts for a couple of days. Hope
this discussion is still relevant.

In looking through CCO ( configuration guide -
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/dial
ts_c/dtsprt4/dcdppp.htm#19282
watch the wrap )

it would appear that with regard to the multilink operation, that the end
points of the link are the virtual-template, and not the physical
interfaces. I tested this by placing ip addresses on the physical
interfaces, saving my configuration, reloading the routers ( to eliminate
artifact after all the screwing around I've been doing to get this to work,
and then to develop a checklist for PPP multilink. )

In any case, I issued a debug ip packet, and the output shows an
encapsulation failed at layer 2.

I believe you discovered this for yourself, when you report that upon
removing ppp multilink, you have no problem pinging on the physical
interface.

check the following output:

00:07:20: IP: s=192.168.1.7 (local), d=192.168.1.8 (Serial1), len 100,
sending
00:07:20: IP: s=192.168.1.7 (local), d=192.168.1.8 (Serial1), len 100,
encapsula
tion failed.
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

so the answer to your question is cronkite - because that's the way it
works! It is probably more helpful to suggest that ppp multilink creates a
single layer two link, and Cisco has chosen to use the virtual-template as
the Layer 3 interface to that Layer 2 circuit.

or backward looking cert? I am under the impression that Cisco originally
geared the test around what a significant number of Cisco large customers
were running.

I'm sure there are still Vines networks around. I'm not sure if PG&E, for
example, ever got around to migrating away from Vines. Let alone Nature's
Conservancy. Hell, there might even be a few XNS networks out there
somewhere.

Especially now that the Lab format is one day, Cisco can't test for
everything. They have to focus.  So it becomes a matter of what's important.
Sooner or later ( and this will be bad news for most of us ) Cisco is also
going to have to migrate the Lab pods to more current equipment. Either that
or tacitly admit that a lot of the high end solutions they hawk are really
not all that important.

Another tack they might take is to create CCIE tracks for every specialty
that comes along - voice, WAN, QoS, wireless, VPN, etc.

But I'm not sure I agree that just because there are people out there
running obsolete technologies, that the CCIE Lab should test those
technologies. IBM now runs Linux on some of their mainframe products. Token
ring and DLSw are dying. The future is IP. Sure the legacy stuff will hang
on for a while yet. But seeing as CCIE skills are as much a marketing
strategy for Cisco as a resource for customers, I would think that older
technologies will have to yield their place in the lab for the new stuff
that Cisco counts on for future revenue.

Just my couple of cents.

Re: RSTP - what's up with that? [7:36851]

2002-02-28 Thread Chuck

This sounds like a question for Super Designer!

Truly, in Radia Perlman's book Interconnections there is good information
about how STP works. If you've read it, you also know that there is no
shortage of remarks of one sort or another about the shortcomings and
compromises in various protocols of one kind or another. I don't recall any
regarding STP, but I was awfully sleepy at the time. ;->

Re: Config PVC on LS1010 [7:36909]

2002-02-28 Thread Chuck

I posted something a couple of months back.

unlike on a frame relay switch, you do the route statement on only one of
the interfaces.

for example:

interface ATM0/1/0
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 atm ilmi-keepalive
!
interface ATM0/1/1
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 atm ilmi-keepalive
 atm pvc 1 101  interface  ATM0/1/0 1 100

this works fine - 1/0 is PVC 1 100 and 1/1 is pvc 1/101

make sense?

sure.

Router_B

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.200

assuming those addresses are the inside interface addresses of the

Re: Can i choose which firewall to use for internet? [7:36920]

2002-03-01 Thread Chuck

based on your private message - you left out the fact that these are remote
sites connecting to a central site, and you want each of the remote sites to
use a different firewall

the answer is policy routing on the central site router.

I sent you a rough config idea, but it will have to be refined a bit using
access lists so that internet traffic is distinguished from non internet
traffic.

but policy routing is the way to go, give a central site and several remote
sites.

A Note From Your Friendly Moderator [7:36978]

2002-03-01 Thread Chuck

On occasion I am unable to check the moderator's queue on a timely or
regular basis. this has meant that some messages, flagged due to the
presence of "forbidden words" have not been released. Some folks then try to
send again, thinking that the internet ate their previous post.

So, 1) be patient. Your friendly moderator will get to the queue sooner of
later and 2) please accept my apologies if duplicates are appearing. I don't
always catch the fact that someone has posted multiple times.

Re: A Note From Your Friendly Moderator [7:36978]

2002-03-01 Thread Chuck

The "forbidden words" are there mainly to stop spam, but also to stop some
of the non-Cisco study messages that occasionally pop up.

references to entertainment sites of various kinds ( you guys especially
know what I mean ;-> )  certain types of language, even certain web sites
are flagged. no biggie.

for example, xxx gets flagged. any message referencing router xxx ends up in
the queue. your friendly moderator reads the message and determines it is ok
to post, and not a solicitation to participate in certain recreational
activities, and all is well.

BTW, messages of excessive length get flagged as well. There is one list
member who subscribes to the digest, and who every time she goes on
vacation, ends up trying to post an "out of office" message with a long
digest attached. plonk

another funny forbidden word is "teen" again - put in there to stop spam
from a certain entertainment site. Every discussion about token ring speed
gets flagged because "sixteen" shows up on the list.

depending upon what you are trying to do, you could set up policy routing on

I think you're trying to outsmart yourself. Can't be done!!! ;->

I showed you in my private reply the result of the EIGRP test I set up. The
answer was "no problem"

I also know from long lab rat experience that it is not a problem with OSPF.

I have not tried with either IS-IS or Ripv2, but again, why not?

there may be issues with older IOS code. Some vendor older models may not
support it. But I have no reason based on my experience, to believe that it
is an issue with current IOS code.

kinda in answer to your private message:

/ipcprt2/1cdrip.htm
watch the wrap

according to this, Cisco's implementation of Ripv2 does indeed support CIDR

On the other hand, getting this to work appears to be problematic. A check
of Doyle shows no CIDR example for Ripv2 A look though Large Scale IP
Network Solutions yields this interesting sentence: "RIPV2 is able to
support classless interdomain routes. It can propagate a classless route
through redistribution"

I can't get a damn CIDR route to show up in the RIPv2 table no matter how
many hokey pokies I do.

At this point I'm going to assume you have tried RipV2 and have had the same
frustration I just had - seeing no CIDR routes. This calls for a bit more
research.

note all the CIDR routes in the routing table, all learned via RIP.

 redistribute connected metric 5

you apparently do have to redistribute the CIDR routes into RIPv2. Silly me.
Why wouldn't that be obvious?

2002-03-01 Thread Chuck

what gets me is how Cisco says they support CIDR in their implementation of
RIPv2, and yet CIDR routes are not advertised natively. You have to F*G
redistribute CIDR routes into RIPv2 before they will be advertised. Exactly
what good is that?

Oh, and boo to CCO for the absolute lack of any information on this.

Re: BGP distribute-list and ip-prefixlist [7:37059]

sure, that's one way of looking at it. make it easier for the folks at the
ISP's to do their job.

think of distribute list as a sledge hammer and prefix list as a hammer and
chisel. You can attempt sculpture with both. one will get you different and
finer results than the other.

nope - in and out by neighbor

  in   Filter incoming updates
  out  Filter outgoing updates

interesting question. my own ( ignorant ) opinion is that at this point it
comes down to the way a router/computer operates. I think the boolean
operation used against a prefix list is probably faster and less resource
intesive than a similar operation against a distribute list. why? If pushed
I would guess it has to do with the legacy coed in the IOS versus the new
code written around prefix lists. Cisco has some pretty sharp computer
science geeks running their code development.

consider that in order to filter so that I get just those routes with a 15
bit prefix, what I would have to do with a distribute list, versus what I
would have to do with a prefix list. the distribute list requires a
reference to an access list, which means an exra operation or two for each
line. a prefix list cab be operated on with just the one operation per line.

Re: VLSM and CIDR [7:37031]

2002-03-02 Thread Chuck

interesting points, Andrew. makes sense. following are some of the lines
from the show ip protocol:

R8:

 Routing for Networks:
132.31.0.0
161.52.0.0
201.0.0.0

and R7:

Routing for Networks:
132.31.0.0
173.4.0.0
181.48.0.0
200.0.0.0

and the config entry:

router rip
 version 2
 redistribute connected metric 5
 network 132.31.0.0
 network 161.52.0.0
 network 201.0.0.0
 no auto-summary

while the network statement in CIDR form is accepted, still something
doesn't work.

note the existence of the two CIDR blocks 200.0.0.0 /8 and 201.0.0.0/8 since
a show ip route yields the proper mask on the interface:

C201.0.0.0/15 is directly connected, Loopback101
C96.0.0.0/4 is directly connected, Loopback1003
C203.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Loopback1001
C129.0.0.0/12 is directly connected, Loopback1002

then the "problem" has to occur within the RIP process itself, and the
manner in which the subnet mask is extracted. OSPF appears to take the
information from the interface configuration. BGP uses the manually
configured network/mask statement. I did not test this, but when I have used
EIGRP in the past, I used the new notation available in 12.1 that allows
network x.x.x.x  y.y.y.y a la OSPF

So good call - looks like you nailed it.

start interviewing consulting firms NOW! if you don't know where to begin,
bring in some experts to help you out.

you can start with your Cisco Account Team, who in turn should refer you to
one or more of their partners. If you check out Cisco's web site, you can
search for partners by location.

If you are in California, contact me off line. My employer would love to

a look at TAC error message decoder yields this result:

A timeout on the digital signal processor (DSP) response has occurred.

Recommended Action: The DSP has been reset automatically. If the problem
persists, contact your Cisco technical support representative.

you need a CCO login to access this, I believe.

Re: OSPF Question [7:37228]

2002-03-04 Thread Chuck

unless you are advertising a host route, I don't think there would be any
effect here. and to be truthful, I'm not sure that the routing process cares
one way or another so long as the particular router's LAN port is
functional.

the routing table would show that host route 172.20.10.1 is reachable via
network 172.20.10.0 as long as the router interface in network 172.20.10.0
is operational.

haven't tested, just thinking out loud.

Re: DHCP across PIX [7:37286]

2002-03-05 Thread Chuck

my curiousity has been piqued by this conversation. why would you want to do
DHCP across a firewall? wouldn't such a thing permit security breaches?

Am I correct that this would become a concern in a network where you have a
number of internal security zones ( research, sales, accounting departments
all within the same company ) and the members of those departments, although
firewalled from eachother, would still require DHCP for their addressing?

Was this the idea / design of the guy who asked the original question?

Re: RIP issue :-) [7:37339]

2002-03-05 Thread Chuck

suppose you were to add a third router into the mix, and throw in some
loopbacks just for kicks

router_1---router_2router_3

same numbering scheme for the 1-2 link. bet router 3 would see the /30

or if you don't have a third router, just create a bunch of /30 loopbacks
out of the same major network. you'll see those /30s show up, providing you
have the "no auto-summary" engaged.

at present, there is no need for the rip process to differentiate since
there is only one network known to it, and that one is directly connected.

hold on a second. let's get back to troubleshooting 101.

when a PC is plugged directly into the internet router, you have no problem
browsing.

if it is only one station that has the problem, that's a whole different
direction than if it is the whole site.

if you would be more specific about the problem, list all of the relevant

be careful what you wish for..

I'm convinced the Cat 3920 was there just to screw with people. Now that
there are lots of practice racks, not to mention a very good software
simulator, Cisco will just go find some other piece of junk to throw a
monkey wrench into your network.

somebody else had the correct analysis. There's no big deal to configuring
token ring - or ethernet for that matter.

hmmm if I were Cisco, what would I do next? Maybe some things that

Slightly OT: 6509 SFM and non fabric cards [7:37657]

2002-03-08 Thread Chuck

we have been having this debate internally. Take a 65xx box, throw in a
switch fabric module ( increase the back plane to 256 gig ) throw in a few
fabric enabled cards. life is good.

but later, you have need for a non fabric enabled card - say a flexwan
module or an IDS blade.

if I understand things correctly, doing so means that none of the line cards
can use the SFM, and that effectively the box is crippled, limited to the 32
gig native backplane.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/si/casi/ca6000/tech/hafc6_wp.htm

reading this document, it really is not clear what exactly happens. It notes
that with a mix of fabric and non-fabric cards, throughput is reduced from
30 mpps to 15 mpps. I think it says that the sup module will no longer use
the SFM.

what I am looking for is something definitive. if I buy a 6509, and my
requirement includes a non fabric enabled card, then there is no point to
buying the SFM?

I ask, because different Cisco sources keep telling me different things. Pre
sales tells me true - and the AM/SE team tells me false - that the SFM is
always used by the fabric enabled cards.

Parenthetically, it's stuff like this that makes Extreme and Foundry look a
lot better.

Re: Quality of Cisco exams [7:38063]

2002-03-13 Thread Chuck

FWIW, I know of plenty of people who made it to day two, and even into
troubleshooting, and came away empty.

I might agree with your point about technology, except that it should be
pretty apparent that certain technologies that Cisco deems important ( and
many of Cisco's large customers as well ) cannot be tested given the current
equipment and images. Nor are certain important and forward looking
technologies touched at all.

Yes the test is hard. Yes IMHO the one day lab is more difficult than the
two day lab because there are a number of things that used to be minor that
now have a lot more points associated with them.  But just because the test
is hard doesn't necessarily mean it's relevant.

Off Topic - Riddle - "The Obvious Question" [7:38336]

2002-03-14 Thread Chuck

this is not one of those "I have a customer" questions, although "I have a
customer" is the starting point.

A couple of years ago a small college installed a new cable plant consisting
of fiber for data and copper for analogue phones between their main telco
closet and a couple of dormitories. there are currently a total of 80
analogue phones in the dorms. The idea was that dorm occupants would arrange
for their own telephone service, and use an analogue phone to connect to the
telco.

Well, room mates being what they are, the college decided that rather than
continually break up fights resulting from disputes over telephone usage and
payment, they would provide the means for two phones per room rather than
one.  Ah, but there is only enough copper between the buildings to
accommodate one phone per room. What to do.

the customer's question to me - can he use the existing fiber to transport
the analogue signal to the main telco closet?

Well, I merrily mulled this over, and came up with a number of very clever
solutions. But after having completed the work, it occurred to me that
because I was so jazzed at trying to come up with a solution, I neglected to
ask a very important question.

So today's quiz, for all you techno gurus - what is the question I neglected
to ask?

for extra credit - why is that question so important?

Hint - consider the ways one might convert analogue to optic.

Chuck

oh all right, if you insist

after pricing out the several options I came up with, it occurred to me that
I should have asked "how much will it cost you to pull new copper to the
buildings?"

BTW, the answer was 20,000.

For those of you who have priced out VoIP, AVVID, or FXS ports, you get the
idea.

Policy routing - interface or subinterface? [7:38528]

2002-03-15 Thread Chuck

Just verifying something I am seeing in my lab.

All examples of policy routing that I can find, both in Doyle and on CCO,
show policy routing as taking place on the physical interface. I can find no
examples indicating that policies can be set on a subinterface.

However, I am finding in my lab that separate policies can indeed be set up
on different subinterfaces.

Any comments from the field, based either on real world or lab rat
experience?

( and yes, I have a customer, and I am testing this because I did the design
before I studied the feasibility :->  )

Re: Off Topic - Riddle - "The Obvious Question" [7:38336]

2002-03-15 Thread Chuck

A wise person once told me that it takes three things to make a project
possible. It must be technically feasible, politically feasible, and
financially feasible.

The small college in question in this case has no interest in doing anything
except providing the means for students living in dormitories to have POTS
in their rooms  ( no cracks from you dopers! ) They wanted a cheap way to
double the number of POTS phones without having to pull new copper.

So in terms of VoIP proposals, numbers two and three just weren't there. Not
when they can pull copper for 20K and the best I could come up with on the
VoIP side weighed in at around 100K. A full blown AVVID came in at around
175K, and did not include the monthly recurring for some ISDN PRI's for PSTN
connectivity. Not to mention that now the college would have to take
responsibility for billing.

BTW, anyone worked with the VG248 box? I got mixed signals from Cisco about
whether or not this box had to work in conjunction with a Call Manager, or
if it could be used in conjunction with a router, thus providing 48 FXS
ports for router to router VoIP.

Policy routing - further tidbits [7:38551]

2002-03-16 Thread Chuck

Should be obvious when considered logically. But one can never trust logic
when it comes to how things work

Policy can be applied on a subinterface by subinterface basis.

Policies applied to the physical interface have no effect on traffic
arriving via the subinterface

Policies do not apply to traffic for which the interface / subinterface are
the end points. e.g. routing protocol updates.

Therefore, policies behave slightly differently than do access-lists, and
one should use the different tools differently, depending upon the desired
outcome.

Obvious stuff, but not necessarily covered specifically in the study
material.

2002-03-25 Thread Chuck

links to which may be found here:

http://www.ciscoworldmagazine.com/newsflash2/2002/02/22_routersecy.shtml

the eventual PDF file is a bit over 2 megs. contains a rudimentary intro to
routers, networking, and OSI. ( I can't help but wonder what PO, HCB, and
others would think of part 1 ) and an interesting and lengthy coverage of
router security, router security policy. There are sample configurations,
explanations of what and why. Yes, very Cisco-centric, although ostensibly
this is a US Gov. NSA document. Still, much of the information can be
applied to non-Cisco router vendors, if there are any left. ;->

There are a few other security assessment tools that can be found through
this link as well.

Enjoy.

Re: Where do I start? [7:39553]

2002-03-27 Thread Chuck

Said the caterpillar to Alice "One should begin at the beginning"  ;->

depending upon your current level of expertise, I would say that any of the
books out there are as good as any other. Unfortunately, if you have the
level of understanding that I did, for example, of OSPF, then you just have
to keep reading and keep banging out things on routers. sooner or later it
begins to sink through. If you don't have routers, you can rent time at any
of several places. I wish the gettcomm was operational, because I found
their rack rental approach well suited for beginners. maybe soon?

keep reading groupstudy. I can't tell you how much this newsgroup has
contributed to my understanding. lots of good folks happy to help.

best wishes to you.

Chuck

Re: subinterface in ospf [7:39029]

2002-03-27 Thread Chuck

inverse arp does not apply. that is, when you invoke the frame-relay
interface-dlci command, this overrides inverse arp for that particular dlci.
other dlci's might still be mapped via inverse arp ( to the physical
interface )

this command is REQUIRED on point to point subinterfaces.
