RE: When do you clear ARP?

2000-09-18 Thread Dave Hennen

I've had to do it a number of times when replaceing printers connected to a
network on the other side of a router.  If they will have the same IP
address but a new nic they won't work until the arp entry ages out or you
clear the arp cache.

RE: MAU trouble shooting

2000-09-18 Thread Dave Hennen



I assume you've tried different ports and different 
cables
 
If it's a real IBM mau you may have to reinitialize the 
port.  there is a battery powered 
tool that used to come with the mau.  
It also could be a speed mismatch if the mau has a way to set the ring 
speed.  There used to be 4mbps only media filters (back in the day) if you 
are using one of those on a 16mbps ring, weird things can 
happen.

RE: Technical Question

2000-07-20 Thread Dave Hennen

one reason is because lots of things depend on netbios names in Windows
95/98/NT networking.  each computername is used as a netbios name.  each
netbios name has to be unique, so requests "I need the mac address of the
computer with netbios name whatever" can be answered by only that machine.  

if you have one server with two nics on the same network each of the nics
tries to register the computername and they fight with each other.  try
changing a windows 98 machines computername to be the same as another
machine on the same network and you'll get an error about a duplicate
computername and the second one will not be able to get on the network, same
thing.

In NT there are ways around it, look at the netbios tab under the bindings
tab for one of the nics you can disable the wins client.  I think this stops
the nic from trying to register the name.

It's better to not design something like this in the first place.  If you
want the second nic for fault tolerance, look for a solution that binds the
two nics into one logical nic and one mac address

probably someone can give a more technical explanation...

Hi all, I passed the Support 2.0 exam on Friday to finish my CCNP.  

The exam was 61 questions, 75 minutes, 692 required to pass.  All questions
where you needed to give more than one answer indicated how many answers
were needed.

I got a half dozen or so type in the answer questions, a couple of place the
labeled blocks on the right place in the diagram questions, a few questions
on Microsoft networking and about the same on web resources.  A dozen or so
questions with exhibits like debug and show screens.  There were a couple of
pretty vague questions and a few that weren't so vague if you took the time
to read them carefully.

I passed the test on Friday and the information was updated on the Galton
site this morning (Tues), pretty quick service.

I'm glad to have finished CCNP, thanks to everyone who contributes to the
list.  It's a valuable resource for information

Now for the CCDP.  Like someone else wrote, it doesn't seem right if I don't
have a study subject I should be working on.

RE: Clear channel question?

2000-07-25 Thread Dave Hennen

not sure if this is 100% correct (if I'm way off someone please correct me)
but...

it has to do with how much bandwidth you get out of a ds0 channel.  most
common is 56k and clear channel gives you 64k but you need clear channel
capable equipment to implement it.  The difference has to do with how
signaling is implemented, I think robbed-bit signaling is why the 56k is
common.  I don't know how signaling is implemented with clear channel

Jon,
Your making it harder than it has to be.

Do you have two ethernet ports?
Use NAT

Call Mediaone and have them provision a new mac address for you, just tell
them you bought a new PC. The mac you'll give them will be your outside
interface on your router. Also, make sure they keep your old nic provisioned
as well. this will help you to obtain the initial dhcp lease.

After the mac is provisioned, use NAT overload to assign ports to machines
on the inside network.

Let me know if you need assistance with the config and I'll send you mine.

Also, for DHCP leases from MediaOne, as long as your router stays turned on,
you can use the same IP.
Alternitavely, if you're in Jacksonville, FL, let me know and I'll tell you
how to circumvent the DHCP thing.

RE: on-line test in CCO

2000-07-27 Thread Dave Hennen

>From the titles of some of the tests I think they're geared toward the Cisco
channel partner certifications.  If a reseller wants to be a cisco "Premier"
partner they need a CCNA, CCDA and a "Cisco Sales Expert" (CSE) or something
similar.  There's a bunch of other ones, like SNA, Enterprise and SMB
(small/medium business) for account managers and technical specialists.
Those tests can be taken online at www.certification.net

They're not worth anything outside of the Cisco Channel partner world.  I
took the Cisco Sales Expert exam last year.  At the time I was studying for
CCDA and was getting frustrated so spent an afternoon reading up for it (and
passed it) as a distraction.  Now I have all the qualifications for a
reseller to become a Premier partner (yay) except that the certs have to be
held by more than one person.

I think these online tests at the cisco site are either a development area
for updates to the certification.net site or part of plans to take that
process inhouse and perhaps expand it.

new Cisco 2650/2651 model

2000-08-02 Thread Dave Hennen

I thought someone might be interested in this.  A new model in the 2600
series.  Looks like the main difference is much faster packet throughput

daveh

=>MODULAR MULTISERVICE ROUTER BRINGS MORE POWER TO BRANCH OFFICES
The Cisco 2650 modular multiservice routers offer higher 
performance and memory to enable more intelligent network 
services at the branch office. Branch offices incorporating Web 
and e-commerce solutions depend on multiple services, such as 
virtual private networks (VPNs), integrated voice and data, and 
business applications that are latency-sensitive and bandwidth-
intensive. The Cisco 2650 series is ideal for meeting the 
increased performance needs with more than 10 times the 
performance of traditional branch office platforms. Available 
as a single-port or dual-port autosensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 
the Cisco 2650 and 2651 maintains the flexibility and 
versatility of the popular Cisco 2600 family with options from 
more than 50 network modules and interface cards.

That also falls in-line with when we wanted to see what "debug all" would do
on the core router.  After about a minute of continuous logging messages it
just stopped working.  Again we had to reboot the router and we were somehow
able to blame it on the server guys!  "Sir, the NT servers were generating
excessive broadcasts which filled the routers buffers and forced it to shut
down.  You know Sir you really should talk to those server guys about

Too funny.  I can think of one incident about 4 years back when I was in the
military and we didn't know anything about configuring cisco equipment.  A
friend of mine who lurks on this list like me (you know who you are Eric)
and myself were trying to play a prank on a fellow co-worker and block
traffic on his computer.  We thought of an ACL to block his IP address but
he was smart enough to change it if we did that.  So we settled on creating
a filter by mac address.  The problem was we couldn't apply it to the
interface so after a little reading we figured the interface needed to be in
a bridge group to apply this ACL.  Now, this interface was serving our
entire building which was the Communications Squadron for the base.
Needless to say when when everyone in the building started yelling we
rebooted it and blamed it on a software crash on the router (hey these
things happen:)...

(tongue firmly in cheek)

I have this theory that you can call yourself and internetworking
engineer when . . . .

1.  You have run a debug command on a customer router while
investigating a performance problem, or perhaps a security issue, and
you have caused the CPU to exceed 100% and the router has hung/crashed.

2.  You have edited an ACL remotely and reapplied it only to find you
have blocked all traffic including telnet from your desk and you are
now locked out.  

3.  In both of the above scenarios you have made up some story for the
Help Desk/1st Line Support and asked them to get the customer to reboot
the router, claiming that "a reboot may help the performance problem .
. blah . . blah"

4.  In each of points 1 & 2 the customer in question is a major account
that has threatened legal action against your company for failing to
maintain SLAs, or to close the account altogether.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Have you every felt that cold
feeling in the pit of your stomach when you entered a command and the
screen froze?  Did you blame hardware/software/customer/gremlins i.e.
anybody and anything but not yourself?

I don't understand your term "LAM"  can you expand on what that means?

If it refers to a Ring-In Ring-Out port, then no you can't connect a router

RE: LanRover - offtopic?

2000-09-05 Thread Dave Hennen

You can get support on the Lanrovers from Intel, they bought Shiva out a
year or two ago.  There is a toll support number for Shiva products that I
can't find right now, but you can call 800-539-3373, go to tech support,
tell them you have a shiva product and they'll give you the right number.

The lanrovers are pretty good for dialin ras servers.  You can use them up
as a dialout server too, but you need a software app on the workstation that
redirects a com port.  I've never seen their "lan2lan" function in
production use and I'm sure you'd rather use Cisco routers.  I'm pretty sure
the LanRover 4/E has one ethernet (maybe just 10Base2) and 4 serial ports to
which you can connect analog or isdn modems.

You need Shiva Net Manager to configure and manage them.  They have their
own user/password database  or you can use tacacs server for authentication
(never tried it). If you need a dialin system for remote users or support
from home you might be able to make use of them.

hope this is helpful,

My apologies if this topic is not appropriate.
I view this forum as home of the network gurus and hope-to-be gurus.
If my subject matter is not on topic, please suggest an appropriate
newsgroup.

At work I have been given 5 Shiva LanRover/4E units and asked to see
if I can make any use of them. Seems to me I could use them as routers
(ignoring the dialing capabilites for now). Does anyone have any
experience with these units? My first stumbling block is an admin
password. These units have been sitting in the corner for who knows
how long, and anyone who had the password is long gone. I can run a
device discovery but anything beyond that is protected. I looked
inside and there is no battery I can pull. I didn't expect so, as
probably the password is part of the firmware. Also no jumpers, again
as expected, to clear settings. At least none that I can determine.
Probably a firmware upgrade is needed, about $700, though chances are
the same stumbling block would come into play. As well, I have asked
to see if I can get any functionality as is.
This isn't a critical assignment, more of a "give it to the new CCNA
guy and see what he can do, if nothing, then no worse off".

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

RE: Portfast ???

2000-09-06 Thread Dave Hennen

only use portfast on workstations or servers.  it will prevent another
switch or hub from participating in the spanning tree.  I don't think I
would enable portfast just to save users 20 seconds or so of startup one
time while you swap switches.  

Unless you are in a 24x7 shop there must be some time when you can swap them
without inconveniencing your users.  Even if you are 24x7, if you are
already committed to making the swap they probably won't notice if your
downtime is ten minutes or only nine.  Unless your servers or whatever the
workstations are talking to are on the same switch you wait for spanning
tree on your uplink port(s) anyway.

If you notice problems logging in when you power up the workstations then
portfast can help.  I've seen situations where a win95/98 workstation can't
log in immediately because the status light hasn't changed to green yet
(spanning tree, autosensing speed and autosensing duplex can take a little
while).  They'll get a "do domain server found" message and then they try
again they get in okay.  It's kind of annoying.  In addition to portfast you
can specify speed and duplex (rather than autosense) to speed up that
process.  But you add to your management duties.

RE: Which test to take next?

2000-07-14 Thread Dave Hennen

it seems that the CIT 4 and support 2 are very similar.  I would do the CLSC
with the  materials you have.  Then go for Support 2 afterward

my 2 cents

In the remaining two weeks before the CCNP 1.0 track retires, should
I focus on the CLSC or CIT 4.0.  I want to finish one of these test
because I have the class manuals and study guides for these test and not
the new ones.  I think that completing the CIT exam would be the best
because it goes along with the ACRC that I already completed. I just do
not know if I have enough time to prepare.
Thanks

RE: cat3500xl

2000-07-14 Thread Dave Hennen

The Cisco Ethernet Technologies reference at

http://www.cisco.com/cpress/cc/td/cpress/fund/ith2nd/it2407.htm

indicates these distance specifications

1000BaseLX  550m over 62.5 multimode
1000BaseSX  250m over 62.5 multimode

I will hopefully be doing a project with this stuff soon and the 250m limit
for 1000BaseSX was kind of a bummer, the LX modules cost a lot more.  Plus a
cisco guy I talked to about it said you need special conditioning cables to
use the LX module with multimode.

RE: Preventing password recovery

2000-08-10 Thread Dave Hennen

I would try a layer 8 or 9 solution, whichever is the political layer, call
the person who pays the invoices and explain that some of your employees are
fooling around with the equipment and it is costing your company money.  In
as polite a manner as possible of course.  If possible have documentation of
the time spent and associated costs.

most senior staff will pay attention to things when presented from a "this
is negatively affecting your p&l" point of view

hope this is helpful,

Subject: RE: Preventing password recovery


I've had a couple of suggestions to fix this, but nothing that works so far.

The best choice would be to lock it up somewhere, but it is on 
customer-owned premise, so other then telling them they shouldn't be messing

with it, we don't have a fool proof way of keeping them out of it.

A couple of answers I've tried that haven't worked -

   1) Change the config register to 0x2002  -  Disabling the break key is on

by default.  This allows someone to use the break key to enter rommon mode 
during normal operations (oops, luckily I have a test router to play with)

2) Change the config register to 0x102 - I didn't notice any diference 
in this at all with this setting.

3) Use the command "no service password-recovery"  - Which seems to want

to work, but I get a response from the router saying "Password recovery 
disable mode is not supported by the current ROMMON.
Please upgrade the ROMMON if you want to use this feature."  Which is kind 
of funny since it has 12.0.3(T) in the ROM.  I'm not sure there is anything 
else you can change the 1700's to.  It may be this command used to work, but

doesn't on some of the newer models.


  It may be that you just cant get there from here :)

RE: could this be a routing problem

2000-09-07 Thread Dave Hennen

the server on the other side of the router may not have a default gateway
set, or maybe it is set incorrectly, or maybe there are multiple routers on
the remote network and the gateway is set but to a router that doesn't have
a route back to you.

telnet to the router and then pinging works because the router's lan
interface is on the same network as the server and no routing is involved

just my guess

If you have a friendly Cisco reseller in the area, ask for a copy of the
Cisco Products Quick Reference Guide.  It's a paperback sized wirebound

port types, default ram, flash, smartnet category, etc...

Resellets get them for free in limited quantity

Cisco Router Handbook

I bought this as a reference manual more than a study aid for my CCNA.  The 
first part of the book goes over the Cisco product line with pictures and 
diagrams so you get info on what the different models are and get so see 
what they look like.
The next part is basic router stuff, configuring, loading IOS etc.
The last part goes over configuring routing protocols, RIP, OSPF, IEGRP,
BGP.

could one connect a pair of routers back to back using csu/dsu's?

Basically from router A, s0 connect via v.35 to a csu/dsu

and from router b, s0 connect via v.35 to a csu/dsu

then connect the csu/dsu's back to back somehow?

Subject: Somewhat OT: JetDirect port number


All,

I have searched for several days on the HP, Microsoft, and Cisco web sites.
I have not been able to figure out which TCP/IP port number an NT server
would use to send a print job to a JetDirect card (LJ 4000 and its ilk).  

The reason this relates to Cisco is this:  We have Windows Terminal Server
running at our central office.  All of our remote offices are connect to TSE
using either RDP or ICA.  Their sessions work pretty well until someone
prints, which causes a packet train to be sent from HQ back to their office
across the WAN (typically a 32K CIR frame link).

Having learned about priority queueing (and not wanting to purchase a
Packeteer to do something the Cisco router can already do), if I knew the
TCP port number the traffic was bound for, I could put it into the low
priority queue and keep the ICA and RDP sessions working smoothly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dave

RE: Logon to NT Server?

2000-06-26 Thread Dave Hennen



the key will be 
being able to identify the domain controllers by name, name resolution.  if 
the pc can't find the domain controller, PDC or BDC in nt4, your pc will not be 
able to logon and you see the message you got.  if the controller is on a 
remote network and you are using tcpip your pc needs to know the address of 
the domain controller before making the logon request.  not much needs to 
be done on the routers excepts making sure the netbios related ports are not 
blocked, 135-139 or something like that.
 
this can be done 
in a couple of ways, a local file called lmhosts, which is a static listing 
of ip addresses and computernames kind of like a hosts file in a unix 
environment.  the second is to setup wins resolution, which is a service 
that dynamically builds a database of computernames and their tcpip 
addresses.  this requires a server be running the wins service and a 
setting in the client pc TCPIP properties.  a third way is to put a Backup 
Domain Controller on the remote subnet

will have lots of
