RE: Port Spanning (Monitoring) [7:73320]

2003-08-01 Thread Creighton, Bill, NSPM
Did I miss a post? Where did ATM and Ethernet come into this? I thought we
were talking about 3600 Ethernet interfaces, not network modules...

I don't know what type of traffic you're looking to sniff - obviously layer
2 since we're talking frames vs. cells, ATM vs. Ethernet, but if you're
looking to MONitor a traffic from a non-source, non-destination workstation,
wouldn't that indicate an RMON probe like NI's Observer? Using an RMON probe
wouldn't require you to occupy the other router interface, just connected to
that network on the switch or hub...

RE: CCIE Lab experience! [7:73263]

Depends on confidence, preparation, and budget - if I were not confident in
my ability to pass, and I couldn't afford to blow $2K, I'd likely get a
fresh 18 months and re-do the written. If, on the other hand, I could afford
it, I'd get that initial attempt out of the way, since first-time passers
are so rare, and then concentrate on the weak points.

Alex,
Congratulations on passing your NP exam(s). The lab exam is no longer the 2
day format. Details can be found at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/learning/le3/le11/learning_ccie_lab_exam.html

You must have more than just knowledge, but also speed - the ability to type
very fast is even beneficial due to the length and quantity of
configurations you will need to create and manipulate. There are several
companies that offer lab simulations and remote access to their racks - this
might be helpful since you say you've already got the understanding - just
need the practical...

RE: Message: CI-2-ENVCRIT: +12 Voltage measured at ... [7:73111]

2003-07-28 Thread Creighton, Bill, NSPM
There is a known issue with the 7500 router and that exact indicator - below
are excerpts from CCO with couple tests you can do (most effective if you
have a spare power supply). But the chassis has been known to report false
errors, this is not affected by the IOS version on the router.

CCO link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/routers/ps359/products_tech_note09186a008009494e.shtml#errors

Valuable time and resources are often wasted replacing hardware that
actually functions properly. This document helps troubleshoot common
hardware issues with the Cisco 7500 series router chassis.

If the router has two power supplies, and the combined bus voltages are low,
it cannot be a power supply problem. This is because one power supply
cannot  drag down the output voltage of another due to the presence of
isolation diodes. Suspect the Chassis Interface (CI) in this case, as well.

If you have a spare power supply available, you can replace the one in the
router to see if the problem goes away. If, after replacing the power
supply, the errors are still seen, replace the Chassis Interface (CI).
