Re: 2500 series e0 fullduplex?

2001-02-27 Thread Dropped Packet

Though not recommended of course, fast ethernet (as noted by Neil) will run 
in half-duplex mode.  This, along with the introduction of an adequate 
number of 'slam-dancing/moshing' frames will provide a nice collision 
display (but please turn down your router speaker first, the sounds can be a 
little unsettling...)

RE: A very basic EIGRP metric question

2001-03-05 Thread Dropped Packet

It appears that you may be talking about Advertised distance (the distance 
of the path to network X from another router's perspective) versus Feasible 
distance (which in theory is the lowest combination of the aforementioned 
Advertised distance and the distance between you and the router(s) that 
advertised the 'Advertised distance').

But I could be completely wrong -- sorry, no refunds.

Subject: A very basic EIGRP metric question


To simplify my question let's assume  K2=K3=K4=K5=0, and K1=1.
So EIGRP calculate metric to a destination network using  the formula Metric
= BW. By definition, BW is calculated using the minimum bandwidth link
between source and destination. It is NOT a cumulative value.
But, in EIGRP operation , "The metric that the router uses in the routing
table, and to advertise to other routers, is the sum of the best advertised
metric from all neighbors, plus the link cost to the best neighbor." base on
this, the metric to a destination network  would be the sum of the BWs in
the path. This is confiusing to me. Are we talking about two different
concepts here? or dose EIGRP caculate the link cost to the neighbors also
using the minimum bandwidth link between source and destination? if yes, but
how and to which destination reference point? any answer would be very much
appreciated.

Re: Full duplex and a hub

2001-03-14 Thread Dropped Packet

Never seen that on a hub (hubs should of course not work with duplex)

However, I have seen this 'faking full-duplex' in other situations.  Lights 
on the switch (and the routers) indicated full duplex but data transfers (in 
different directions at the same time) seemed slow.

I cleared the counters on the interfaces then inititiated massive transfers 
in both directions.  This was to see if any collisions showed up in "sh int" 
(indicating that the full-duplex lights were 'full of it' [to use a tech 
term]).  The collision count soared.  Cisco confirmed that this was an 
effective (albeit screwy) way to confirm duplex status (or the lack thereof) 
notwithstanding the status lights.  Although that test is not 
IOS-independent, it should work.  My cure was to upgrade the IOS on the 
routers.

off topic: PIX DHCP (client) Implementation?

2001-03-31 Thread Dropped Packet

Is anyone aware of any 'unique' characteristics regarding the DHCP (client) 
implementation on PIX 5.x?

I tried assigning an IP to the outside interface via dhcp with a linksys 
switch dhcp server and it failed.  When I plugged it straight into my cable 
modem and repeated the process, it worked just fine.  Perhaps the linksys 
dhcp server component is flawed somehow (even though it works just fine for 
assigning addresses to other DHCP clients (wintel boxes))??
I replicated the failure three times and also ran debug on the PIX dhcp 
function with no useful results.

(Given the rampant rumors re instability, I already placed knee pads under 
the chassis, but oddly enough that didn't help.)

The only thing I could find online was the following excerpt:

Note:  Use of the DHCP client feature to acquire an IP address from a 
generic DHCP server is not supported.

(source: 
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_v53/config/advanced.htm#xtocid57942
 
)

[So can I assume that my cable company has invested some portion of my huge 
monthly bills in a "name brand" DHCP server?]

Thanks for any info.

off-topic: Is a crystal ball called for?

2001-04-06 Thread Dropped Packet

The info below is an excerpt from a recent "C r a m s e s s i o n News" 
article (so it's presumably valid, I would hope, but I didn't write it) 
entitled "Why I don't want to be an M C S E" --
___

Unfortunately, you are not distinguishing yourself from the crowd with an M 
C S E, anymore (duh*). You are the crowd. While there are around 375,000 M C 
S E s, there are only 60,000 O C P s, 18,000 Citrix C C A s, 10,000 C I W 
Professionals, and 5,159 Cisco C C I E s for example.
___
(*) - emphasis/sarcasm added

So I'm wondering if anyone has any good estimate (+/- 10,000) on Cisco 
numbers _other_than_ the much pointed to C C I E census figures?

It would be nice to have answers to questions like:

Are there well over 100,000 C C N P s?

Are there more C C N A s than people on the face of the planet?
(addressing some shocking rumors about house pets passing the C C N A exam)

Though tempting, I won't attempt the futile and attach a copy of "everything 
counts in large amounts" by depeche mode (for the geezers in the audience 
over 25).  It just seemed apt.

MCNS - ephemeral Pix commands?

2001-04-08 Thread Dropped Packet

Several commands on the PIX have "come and gone" over time.

Without getting into the NDA swamp, does anyone know if Cisco generally 
favors "older" or "newer" commands?

My concern is over some type of fill-in-the-blank command scenario where 
something like an ACCESS-LIST approach would be valid on one PIX version and 
using "OUTBOUND" would be valid on another.

TIA for any comments.

Surely I'm missing something (I'm new to the security area, so my apologies 
to the security experts if this is the equiavalent of a "How do I ping" 
question)  I know about authentication of the updates via md5, my question 
is about the transfer.  Thanks
