Terminal Server to 3542 Switch Access Probelms [7:42802]

2002-04-28 Thread Ed Moss

I am having a problem getting a CS-516 to reverse telnet to a 3524XL Switch.

The 516 is running 10.3(7) and can reverse telnet to routers, a PIX and VPN
3005 with no problem.
If I move a known good port from say a router to the 3524, it will not make
the connection.

If I connect my PC serial port to the switch, it works great... the same
cable that works with the other devices.
I have tried several cables (all that work with other devices.. it should be
a rolled cable, but I also tried a straight through cable as well). I have
even tried other ports off the 516.

Is there anything special about the console port, or config on the 3524?
Flowcontrol - Stop Bits???

Thanks
Ed

Re: BGP Synchronization and OSPF External Routes [7:35131]

2002-02-12 Thread Ed Moss

I don't think this is just OSPF, but rather any protocol that recognized
Internal and External Routes.  From what I understand, the basic reason is
to keep from shooting yourself in the foot.   For example, why would you
want to advertise addresses that belong to another AS?

On Page 135 of Internet Routing Architectures, Halabi writes, (In the
Cisco implementation, external OSPF routes
are automatically blocked from being redistributed into BGP; the
administrator has the option of overriding this behavior.)

I haven't tries it, but on page 318, it looks like you simply match both
types on the redistribution command...
router bgp 3
redistribute ospf 10 match external 1 external 2.

Also on 318, Halabi states this is for loop avoidance in the case the
external OSPF information came from BGP.

For more info you can look on CCO:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/bgp-ospf-redis.html

 I have not been able to find any information on Cisco's site on why BGP
 synchronization does not recognize OSPF E1 or E2 external routes when
 checking the IGP routing table.  Does anyone have an explination for this?

 If I put a static route into the local routing table, it synchronizes
 without any problems.  The same is true with any other IGP except OSPF.

 Has anyone else seen this?  Is there a work-around (other than 'no
 synchronization')?

Re: Emphasis on token ring switching on CCIE Lab [7:21715]

2001-10-02 Thread Ed Moss

The 3900 is on the list, expect to configure it.  As far as an emphatic
hands-on topic  I believe there is a tutorial on the documentation CD.
I assume the tutorial covers basic configuration, so I would be prepared
to do a basic config from memory.

As far as any empathic topics... I think you could get away without
knowing it intimately... just as you could on virtually any other topic
(except for IP, Frame and the core protocols).  It is all on the CD.  The
question is how many topics do you  have to lack knowledge on before you
run out of time.

As you review your exam folder, you will be saying to yourself... I know
how to do that and that...   I'll have to look this up to be certian...
they want me to do what?  How!?!Knowing it well just means that you
will be able to nail it when you get to the exam.  And the fewer time you
say I know in the exam... the chances of visiting the lab again will go
up.

Re: Need some advice on a Frame Relay Latency issue [7:15146]

2001-08-07 Thread Ed Moss

First - I believe that ICMP replies are a low priority, so they may not be
an accurate representation of latency.
Second - Latency is primarily a product of distance.  In theory, if the line
distance is the same, latency should be at least relatively close given a
direct line vs. frame.  Of course, frame will have some overhead as it tends
to traverse more devices.

Check with the carrier and verify the line config... is it ESF/B8Zs or
SF/AMI?  Who is providing the clocking?  Are the DS0's  64k or 56k?  Verify
the settings on the CSU/DSUs on each side.

I have seen a similar problem where the line was relatively short, carrier
provided no clocking, and the line was set for SF/AMI.  The router was using
internal T1 WICs with them set to SF/AMI.  Simple pings would work fine, but
any type of load would cause excessive CRC errors.   Changing the T1
clocking to a internal on one side didn't seem to fix it.  After some
thinking... basically SF/AMI uses 7 bits, and ESF/B8Zs uses 8 bits.  This is
the difference between 56k and 64k channels.   Changing the DS0 on the line
to 56k fixed the problem.

 Hello everyone.

 I have a peculiar problem with one of my company's FR circuits.  We have
 been trying to troubleshoot this issue ever since we purchased FR to
replace
 point-to-point HDLC.  This circuit has a 256K CIR and 512K port speed.
 Bandwidth utilization is low and never approaches the CIR.  The remote
 router's CPU and memory utilization are also very low.  At present, only
 weighted fair queueing is enabled.  We have tried priority queueing and
 traffic shaping to no avail.  User response times are extremely high
ranging
 anywhere between 80ms to over 2000ms!

 Also, we are routing IP (no ip routing protocol, I have set a default
route
 back to corporate as this remote office is one of a few spokes in our
 hub-and-spoke topology) and we are routing IPX using EIGRP.

 The central site FR router is a 3640 with two T1 WICs with integrated
DSUs.
 The remote site router is a 2501 connected to an ADC Kentrox DataSMART 658
 T1 DSU.

 Our FR vendor claims that his tests running from DCE to DCE receive a
 consistent response time of 70ms.  However, the vendor has noted that when
 ICMP messages are sent to the remote router some are responded to very
 quickly but most do take an unusually great amount of time in responding.
 This the vendor found when placing a sniffer on the local loop.

 So it seems that there may be a config issue or a hardware issue at our
 remote site.  Any words of wisdom you can provide would be greatly
 appreciated.

 Following are the configs for the remote router and the central router.

Re: Cable modems 2501s?? [7:13626]

2001-07-25 Thread Ed Moss

wow... looks like everyone has their own opinion on this.

Yes, a 2501 can do inside and outside NAT on the same interface... this
would be one solution.
Another would be to use primary and secondary addresses on the interface.
For both of there, you would need a hub attached to the cable modem and the
router.

There are many other options out there.  Personally I use a LinkSys
Cable/DSL router.  This has an outside address, and then NATs the inside
addresses.  It will also do basic PAT as well... I can telent to my lab from
the Internet  and even better, I can initiate connections, pings, etc
from the router in my lab to the Internet.

Re: ccna challenge question [7:13565]

2001-07-25 Thread Ed Moss

Everyone has some good ideas on this...  and one of the replies made me
rethink my previous answer Look at it from the aspect of the ROUTER...
assuming that this is implemented on a router.

An interface with the address of 172.18.2.0 and a mask of 255.255.254.0
will send directed broadcasts to 172.18.3.255.  Answer B is correct.

However the above router sends a RIP version 1 update (which is classless)
to router B.  Router B gets the router 172.18.2.0 and no mask information.
It assumes a classful boundary. ( I know, there are other rules that affect
the advertisement and receipt of the route)   Router B will then send
directed broadcasts to 172.18.255.255.

I think everyone would agree that the question is poorly worded...   If I
came across the question I would still select 'C' as my answer,
172.18.255.255.   My clue in the question is 'using classful assumptions'

Re: Cisco Press Vs Sybex Which Way Forward === [7:13243]

2001-07-22 Thread Ed Moss

I agree with Chuck... I'll take good advice from anywhere I can get it
This goes back to :
where go you get your good judgment?
I get my good judgment from good experience!
And where do you get your good experience?
From bad judgment!

I tend to like the Cisco Press books more for the certification series than
the others.  First, Cisco is putting their name on the books - Granted,
Cisco Press is another publishing company and they are out to make money.
However I have to believe that when a Cisco Press book says CCNP/CCDP, it
follows the actual Cisco course material more closely, at least that is my
experience from reading the books then taking the exams.

Remember, there are many ways to do something... but there is also the
Cisco way - not to say that the Cisco way is always right, or even wrong,
but when they make a statement in a class, it should be that way for the
exam.  Like the difference between a pilot and a prototype... I come from an
electronics engineering background... I think Cisco has the terms reversed
in their texts...  But when it comes to the exam... its the Cisco Way.

There are many authors out there, of which I am one. I was a contributing
author to a book in a CCNP series.  My certification doesn't mean that I am
an expert, and by no means does my Cisco certification qualify me to teach.
The sign of a good author or instructor is how well they are able to present
the material... Yes, they have to know the material, and this is through
experience.  However, my experience doesn't provide me with any more insight
to the Cisco exams than the person reading the book other than I have taken
the exam and passed.  I make statements relating to the  exam blueprint, and
those statements are related to my education and my experience keeping
in mind, that my answer may not be the Cisco answer -

Re: Cisco Exam Subnetting question! [7:4310]

2001-05-13 Thread Ed Moss

It appears that a portion of the question may be missing.
My best answer would be - there are 32 bits total.
22 bits are for the network portion  2^22 = 4194304 subnets
10 bits are for the host portion  2^10 = 1024-2  or 1022 hosts in each
subnet.
This dosen't match any of your answers.

Mileage may vary based on the missing info.  If you said it was a class B
address range and you had 22 bit mask, I would say:
Class B has 16 network bits.  The mask is 22 bits, so we have 6 bits to play
with for networks.
2^6 is 64 networks.  Beware that according to the Cisco Class meterials,
they still say the first and last subnet can not be used - so this leaves 62
usable subnets.   We still have 10 host bits, so it is the same as above.

Beware of the termonolgy - In my example, we have 16 network bits, 6 subet
bits and 10 host bits.  The network bits are determined by the address
class.

Re: CSU/DSU question

2001-02-09 Thread Ed Moss

 Is it the telco who prvides us what we should use as framing, linecode and
 encapsulation?  or does it depend on the csu/dsu being used.  ???

Telco configures the line for the proper coding.   ESF/B8ZS is the most
common, however SF/AMI is still around.  A local carrier here normally
provisions their lines (across town for example) for SF/AMI unless the
customer requests otherwise.

PPP vs. HDLC  refers to the line encapsulation, or what the routers use to
communicate.  This is independent of  the line coding (ESF/B8ZS).   If you
are talking Cisco to Cisco equipment use HDLC.If you are talking Cisco
to something else,  PPP is the way to go since Cisco's HDLC is a proprietary
implementation. (PPP is common when talking to ISP's.  Even if they have
Cisco gear because it makes PPP their standard).

Re: Subnet question

2001-01-27 Thread Ed Moss

The 20 bit prefix extends four bits into the third octet (176).
176 in binary is 1011, so with the mask the address ends at 1011.
You want to use the next four bits for subnetting (last four 0's)
This gives the range of 1011 (176) through 1011 (191)
providing 16 subnets with 256 addresses in each subnet.
Typically the first and last subnet are not used, toss out 176 and 191,
this leaves 177 through 190, each with a 24 bit mask. (We started with
20 bits, and we added four bits for our own subnets).

Looking at the possible answers, the following fall in this range.
 C) 172.16.183.0/24
 F) 172.16.190.0/24

Re: Frame Relay...Inverse-Arp..?

2001-01-15 Thread Ed Moss

Yes, you are correct on both counts.

1.  Both Caslow's book and Cisco's documentation state the same - if a map
is used, inverse arp is disabled for that dlci for that protocol on that
interface.

2.  If you set up a lab to prove this, you can't.  I did the same, and got
the same results as you.  Creat the map between the spokes, save the config
and reload. When everything comes up, both static and dynamic entries are in
the cache.

I attended anohter class from Mentor, and asked my instructor about this.
He asked Bruce, and the inital answer  "IOS bug".  I ran my lab using both
11.2 and 11.3 enterprise, with the same results.   Bruce was to get back
with me with more specifics, but I haven't heard yet.

I will definately ask when I attend ECP1 in April.  If someone attends this
class sooner... maybe they can ask.

As far as using it in a lab if I used maps, I would also specify no
frame inverse-arp. (I think version 12 automatically adds this).

number of exam segments and/or questions, or any communication, including
verbal communication regarding or related to the exam..."

In the broadest sence, I take this to mean, if it was on the test, we can
not discuss the topic as it relates to the test.If this is the case,
everyone on the list is guilty!   Case in point,  If I took the test,
and saw a question that is related to decoding the RIF, and someone is going
to take the test asks "how is the RIF put together."   Under the agreement,
that would be confidential.  Even if Cisco has previously disclosed this
information!

Hmmm... even in Secion 8, Conduct of Business, of the agreement,  "... shall
conduct his business in a manner which reflects favorably upon  the
products, services, reputaion and goodwill of Cisco..."  Does this mean that
if we work for a reseller, and a customer asks us to compare Cisco's product
X to Competitor's product Y, that we have to say the Cisco product is
better?  I mean if we say that the competitor's product is better,  it
dosen't "refelct favorably" upon the Cisco product, even if it is true!

The above are taken to the extreme.  In my mind, a violation is if I ask "I
had this question on the exam, what are the answers".  Or if I say "I had
the following on my exam"

If someone asks a question, with the intent of learning the technology, and
not to just pass the exam, I will help where I can.  Of course, the grey
area of violating the NDA is out there somewhere.

Re: The rules have changed...

2001-01-09 Thread Ed Moss

No, the rules are still the same as they always were.  Over a year ago a
Cisco SE manager told me that buying used products such as those on ebay
were "shady" at the least.  He said flat out that hardware could be resold,
but without the IOS.  The IP only feature set can be obtained for less than
$20 from an authorized reseller.The only exception to this rule, and is
still a very gray area,  if the IOS is in ROM, such as an AGS+ without
flash, or a product that has reached end of life and the software component
is no longer being sold.

 As Cisco's channel partner family has grown significantly in
 the past few years, we would like to take this opportunity to
 inform many of our newer partners about our policy regarding
 the reselling of Cisco products. In addition, we would like to
 inform all our partners about an exciting new program that
 affords the opportunity to participate in the secondary market.

 Like many high-tech companies that produce software, Cisco
 adopts a policy of nontransferability of its software to
 protect its intellectual property rights. Cisco product owners
 are only allowed to transfer, resell or re-lease used Cisco
 hardware and not the embedded software that runs on the
 hardware. This policy also applies to Cisco standalone software
 applications.

 Because Cisco's installed base of equipment has grown to such
 large numbers over the years, companies have become more
 interested in selling and leasing used Cisco equipment on the
 secondary market. To provide our valued customers and partners
 with this capability, Cisco has set up a program in which
 companies can do so and comply with the terms of the software
 license agreement that accompanies every Cisco product.
 Companies interested in transferring title and ownership of
 Cisco equipment that contains embedded software may now
 purchase a new software license to do so. Leasing companies
 that wish to re-lease a Cisco product with embedded software to
 another lessee may also purchase on behalf of the new lessee a
 software license each time before doing so.

 To learn more about this new opportunity, as well as how to
 place orders for software licenses, please visit:

CCIE Written Passed

2001-01-05 Thread Ed Moss

I finally made a passing mark for the CCIE Written with a 79%.   Four days
ago I missed the passing score by only 3%.   With the encouragement of
several people here in GroupStudy, co-workers and friends,  I was convinced
to reschedule.

From my original exam, I scored very low in areas that I thought I would
have been comfortable in.  I believe my comfort level contributed to those
poor scores.  Many have said it before read the question, read it again.
You should know the answer before you look at the possibilities.  After you
have made your selection - read it again and ensure it is justified.

For studying for the exam, I really don't have much more to offer than what
has already been posted elsewhere on the list other than these comments:

I believe the "CCIE Study Guide" by Giles provides an excellent
presentation on layer one and two topics for each of the technologies
(Ethernet, Token-Ring, FDDI, etc.).

CCO has many excellent documents.  Ones I thought provided a great deal
of help in understanding was "Loading System Images and Configuration
Files",  NLSP, and DSLw+.

Once again, thanks to everyone for the help.
The journey continues

Re: Rip over frame issue

2000-12-31 Thread Ed Moss

Nigel... take another look, I don't think its split-horizon,  router 2 is
only a frame switch.  That would make it strictly a peer config, not hub and
spoke.

Next,  please post the configs of R1 and R3.  What IP addresses are on R3
for S0 and L0?  If you have the same networks on both R1 and R3, I don't
think you would have any RIP routes, because all networks would be directly
connected.

Also, is this RIP v1  or v2?

With RIP v1 , when receiving information about routes within the same major
network, hosts and routers assume the same prefix length as that on the
incoming interface of the route information (assuming it is not in the same
major subnet).  The subnet mask of S0 in your config would be fairly
critical.  If the 172 address has a 16 bit mask on R1, and S0 has a 24 bit
mask, the 172 route on R3 will appear with a 16 bit mask.Again, need the
configs to see what is happening.

I'm not quite certain how it would be handled if you have the same subnet
defined on both routers I kind of assume that since it should have a
directly connected route, the RIP route would be discarded.

Using the 'debug ip rip' command, you can actually see the update sent by
the router.

I put together a lab to better understand RIP,  you can find the lab and
results with links to CCO at

What so many fail to see is that different products may be better than each

patterns,  redundancy, future growth, customer level of knowledge and
experience among many other.  Only after sizing up the situation, can an

Re: Frame Relay Map Help

2000-10-26 Thread Ed Moss

No, Inverse arp at the hub is still active.  Since there is a frame map
statement on the spokes, I expect that inverse arp would be disabled for the
protocol (IP) and the dlci as Cisco's documentation states.  Caslow's book
shows that the spoke router would lose the dynamic maps.

On the other hand the hub has no idea of the spoke's map statement...
and will still send its info down the serial line the spoke router will
hear the info and associate the IP with the dlci.   This is the only
rationalization I have as to why the spoke router still gets the dynamic
info.

Re: Companies requiring proof of previous salary

2000-10-09 Thread Ed Moss

Rule 1:  You are only worth what it costs to replace you.
Rule 2:  There is ALWAYS someone willing to do more work for less money.

On applications, it normally asks salary at each position.  I typically list
the range of my present position.  I am normally willing to provide a copy
of my present job description, and the HR document that show the salary
range for the position. (depending on where I am in the scale)

It boils down to the point where your skills are more important to one
employer than another, and that employer is willing to show it.

For me to leave one job and go to another, so same responsibilities and same
pay, there must be something extremely wrong with my present employer.  On
the other hand... moving to a new job often means new responsibilities and
challenges.  If I am happy where I am, the potential employer needs to
provide an incentive for me to leave... and to do that I typically I look
for at least a 10% - 20% jump in pay.

LinkSys has some good basic products that are priced around $110 and $170.
Like I said, these are basic and dont provide features like stateful packet
inspection, filters based on TCP/UDP, etc.  I also believe they have a limit
of something like 10 ports active per connection unless you do a
passthrough, but that sort of defeats the purpose of the firewall.

Watchguard also makes a product that I think is better, but it costs about
$370.  It provides both NAT and PAT, and you can filter based on
source/destination addresses and port numbers.   The first year of "managed
security" is also provided... although giving up control has overtones of
Big Brother but hey... its a service for people that dont know
firewalls.  They also offer web filtering with the product with like 14
different categories... good if you have kids that use the net.

Re: Ethernet Collisions

2000-08-18 Thread Ed Moss

If the router and the switch are the only devices connected, say by a cross
over cable, I would first make the assumption that the crossover cable is at
fault. Next, I believe all of the 10Mb router interfaces are half-duplex, so
I would ensure the switch port is set to half-duplex and 10Mb (don't let the
switch auto configure the connection)

Last the only time I have personally seen this was when the network had
multiple subnets configured with workstations at 100Mb, and the router had
to route between them. This was during an IP address conversion that wasn't
quite completed. (Servers were left on one subnet while workstation were on
another.)

Workstations would negotiate a 100Mb, full duplex connection... then try to
talk to a server (same broadcast domain, different subnet) at 100Mb
full-duplex.  The bottleneck was the router at 10Mb half-duplex.

" everyone seemed to at least have an MCSE before attempting the cisco
route. Is this highly essential to succeed? "
SNIP

No, I dont believe it is highly essential... however, I believe most that
working in the Networking Infrastructure area have been brought up through
the LAN/Server Administration area.

MCSEs should have a better understanding of the associated Windows
protocols. The same is true CNEs, they should have a better understanding of
the Novell networking model and protocols.

It boils down to experiance not letters or certifications.  Just like
anything else, you can work through the Cisco certifications with dedication
and commitment, but experience will make this much easier to relate to.

Thanks - CID passed

2000-08-07 Thread Ed Moss

Thanks to everyone in the group... I passed CID this morning which completes
the CCDP track.

I completed the test in one hour They provide two hours to obtain a
minimum 65% on 100 questions.

To study, I used only the Cisco Press Books  "Cisco Internetwork Design",
and followed this up with "Advanced Network Design".  I also used Cisco's
Self Paced Training  "SNA/IP Solutions for Systems Engineers".  CCO was
invaluable as I also read through the document "ATM Network Design" and
reviewed the overviews and specs of various ATM products since the Cisco
Press books leave much of this information out.

As many have stated on the list, the majority of the test centers around
Network/Protocol/WAN design.  The test objectives published by Cisco are an
accurate representation of what is on the test.

This test was "easier" than DCN as I didn't have to worry about case
studies, however there wasn't as much networking theory, but much more info
to recall. If you didn't read it... or don't know it... you most likely wont
get the correct answer.

General test taking... trying to eliminate obvious wrong answers wont help
much since most of the statements or potential answers are correct, but may
not relate to the question. For example... a question may be related to the
distribution layer but makes accurate statements about all three
layers... end result... you have to know which one fits into each layer.

Now its off to CCIE
Again... thanks for everyone's help.

Re: a ccna question-help

2000-07-28 Thread Ed Moss

It may be how you look at it... looking at "select the best answer" - I say
ATM, Token Ring and FDDI. These require single point-to-point connections.

I believe Ethernet and Frame Relay (NBMA) are multiaccess mediums.

The question it self may be a bit confusing as well since it says
"protocols".  these are all physical mediums and not specifically protocols.

Ed


 I find a confused question on an exam guide which is:
 select the connect-oriented protocols:
 1.ATM
 2.TOKEN RING
 3.FDDI
 4.Ethernet
 5.FrameRelay
