RE: Telnet session traversing PIX are timingout [7:53490]
KR, The resolution for the VPN MTU size is usually pretty simple. There should be an option within the VPN to lower the MTU size of the VPN encrypted packet. This can either be in the form of a VPN client used to connect, or within a Point to Point Tunnel endpoint configuration. You just need to lower the MTU size of the VPN enough so that it no longer gets dropped by any routers along the path. I don't know of any write ups on this particular issue, but I haven't really looked either.

RE: Telnet session traversing PIX are timingout [7:53490]
I've seen this issue before with SSH timing out over a perfectly good connection without packet loss. The problem was with the MTU size being too small and the packet was getting dropped. The packet was going through a VPN tunnel through the network to a VPN concentrator. Here's an example. The telnet packet was 1435 bytes in size including all the headers. The Router maximum MTU was 1456 for example. So far so good... Looks like it should get through, correct ports are open etc.. Now the VPN encryption adds an extra 25 bytes for example ( I don't have exact numbers). Now you have a packet that is Encapsulated with encryption for a total size of 1460 bytes. Oh and what also happens is the VPN will put a DO NOT Fragment flag on the packet, because of the encryption. Whats going to happen once that packet hits the router with an MTU size of 1456? It gets dropped because the packet is too large. What happens to the telnet or SSH session, is it starts dropping packets and then times out. It doesn't receive and ACK's from the other end and thinks it is timing out. So A. Is there VPN involved? If so, could be MTU issue. B. Check the MTU size.Send some large sized pings over 1400 bytes in size with the Do not Fragment Flag. Find out if and where the MTU is set too low. C. Of course check for packet loss or extreme latency. Welp hopefully this helps from my experiences with this type of issue.

RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco
I never got back to this email and I am sorry I took so long... 1) The 6509 has a 256Mbit backplane capacity. 2) I am not a Cat6500 person, but I thought the Cat6500 Sup's run in parallel? (Anyone know off hand?) 3) I am not sure what you mean by local switching. The 6500 uses dCEF (Distributed CEF) where as Extreme uses flow based routing. Most people don't even know what dCEF is... 4) You are correct. The Catalyst is a layer 2 switch that has routing abilities with added hardware. Cisco is not the only Vendor that does this. 5) True... But again... Cisco isn't the only company that advertises their equipment like this. Foundry is a good example. A Cat6500 has 9 slots - 1 Sup. You don't have to put in two Sups. Most people buy two switches... Another downside to eXtreme is that they only support 10/100/1000 and Giga-Etherchannel where the 6500 supports those plus T1/E1, T3/E3, STM/1/4/16, OC3/12/48, ATM & POS, ...etc. Both products are very different from one another... If you want to talk about cutting edge, the 6500 OSR uses a new technology called PXF (Parallel eXpress Forwarding, read below). The eXtreme uses ASIC's which have fixed functionality with a 12-18 month life cycle. This is a Cisco engineered technology that wasn't obtained from an acquisition. This is the first (to my knowledge, so please correct me if I am wrong) reprogramable ASIC-type processor. Cisco has always been known for functionally and not speed, and this will be changing soon. -Eddie PXF Field Upgradeable Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF) is based on microcode and can be upgraded with new software features in future IOS releases. The PXF processor enables IP parallel processing functions that work with the primary processor to provide accelerated IP Layer 3 feature processing. The PXF processor off-loads IP packet processing and switching functions from the Route Processor (RP) to provide accelerated and highly consistent switching performance when coupled with one or more of several IP services features such as access control lists (ACLs), address translation, quality of service (QoS), flow accounting, and traffic shaping. PXF offers the advantage of hardware-based switching power, plus the flexibility of a programmable architecture. The PXF architecture provides future-proofingif additional features are added in the future, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) will not be required. New features for accelerated services can be added by reprogramming the PXF processor. -Original Message- From: Mohamed Heeba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 12:27 AM To: 'Eddie Parra'; Desai, Inamul; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco hi Eddie ; i was waiting someone from cisco to answer the question which i raised yesterday ,i love to work on the Cisco products ..but alas...love is not enough ...wat Ton of features the Cisco switch has and extreme one doesnt ?? this is a good point to start defeat Cisco against the young guys . is Cisco in the way to solve their performance problems against extreme ?? some of the problems Extreme usually say against cisco is 1- 6509 is blocking with only 32 G backplane capacity 2- the second Supervisor engine is always in standby mode 3-the network modules cannot do local switching 4- layer 3 features need to add more and more hardware 5- 6509 is NOT 9 slots in fact is only 7 i guess Cisco should have to do something to solve these problems then there will not be any problem to win ANY project against the young guys thx -Original Message- From: Eddie Parra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 5:07 PM To: Desai, Inamul; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco Inamul, What do you need the switch to do?

Kenneth, I have been in your shoes. You need to voice this to your sales team.

I am not speaking negatively of your SE, Sales Team, or Cisco either. Keep in mind that a sales team is a tool that you should use to your benefit. If a SE has his head in the clouds, make sure to let him know you are still on the ground, for whatever product he is trying to sell you, for whatever vendor he works for.

Hi Adia, I have found that CDP allows a bundle of good things. Below are some examples, A couple of switches on different LAN's the client tells me are configured correctly on each LAN with the correct SNMP community name cannot be discovered using SNMP and he cannot Telnet to them. I am the supplier of the routers. I perform a "sh cdp nei det" and in an instant can tell my client what he has done is configured the switches on a bench in his office. Put them into the car and delivered each switch to the wrong building and therefore the switches are configured for a different LAN. On an FDDI link a major client can see the services on the ring but cannot get data from point A to B. A quick glipmse "sh cdp nei det" once again reveals the two routers in question have an IP address mixup. In this case both the same IP address. Looking through the ARP table would confirm this but the there were several hundred entries there. I wanted to know if I had exactly matched my drawing for a switched network having some 50 2900XL switches going into a 5500. I also needed to document serial no.s etc. "sh cdp nei" gave me where the switches were. It was a simple matter antering the data into the 5500 so this was in a sense self documenting. A cut and paste of the details gave me the resto of my doco. When IP, AppleTalk and/or IPX fails CDP might still be there and show config issues. CDP is very handy.

RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco
The buy back policy is very cool! I did a huge migration from 2500's to 2600's and Cisco let us keep a bunch of the 2500's for our CCIE study lab. (This is before I worked for Cisco). We had to sign a certificate of destruction and promise never to use these 2500's in a production environment. They take the serial numbers down to ensure this. This way SmartNet can never be purchased for them. -Eddie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dost Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 4:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco I am in canada and we compared for both products including same $ of 100/Gig. ports, service contract for 2 years and future backplane upgrade and addition of more modules.

RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco
I agree with your statement concerning RedBack. According to the Dell O'Group (How ever you spell it), we supposedly have market share? I was surprised to read this. This is the same company that says Juniper is stealing market share from us. If you look at Cisco's track record, new products don't shine as well as they do 1-2 years later. The Catalyst switch is a good example. Think of the first Catalyst switch and look how it has evolved. When I look at the road maps to certain products I do get blown away from some of the things we have planned. I think it takes some time to add the Cisco "touch" to the products we acquire. What do you think of the physical layout of our boxes? This is something that I always hear negative things about from CO guys... -Eddie -Original Message- From: Brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 9:48 AM To: Eddie Parra Cc: Bharat Suneja; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco On Tue, 12 Dec 2000, Eddie Parra wrote: > Redback is another impressive company...

The Redback SMS works very well as a DSL concentrator. The "cisco" solution was IOS running on their routers. This did not and does not work very well. Cisco now has DSL concentrators of their own, but the price point is pretty high and acceptance isn't there yet.

I will like to add something to this also. I was the director of technology for a startup .dot-com before I worked at Cisco. I couldn't find ANYONE to hire for over 6 weeks who knew Juniper, Extreme, or Foundry. This isn't a slam, this is a fact. There are more Cisco savvy people out there, not to forget about the thousands, including yourselves, who are trying to learn Internetworking technologies on Cisco products.

RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco
Andy, I am not slamming the Extreme switch. They make a fair switch. I am just stating facts. I would buy Foundry before I buy Extreme. Foundry makes a better switch than Extreme, and is also cheaper than Cisco. I will go over what I wrote: facts. 1) Enterprises do not come close to switching capacities - FACT 98% of the time. 2) The Catalyst 6500 offers more features - FACT (I will go into more detail if you want) 3) Cisco has a road map for all future IOS features. Cisco can tell you what will be in 12.1(10) if you wanted to know.

RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco
Inamul, It sounds like your switch will do fine for what you plan to do now. Do you have enough traffic that requires you to put in a faster switch? If you are only going to create VLANs, do ISL trunking, port/VLAN spanning, and CGMP (Not IGMP snooping), your Sup-I should be fine. It always helps to have a faster switch, but do you need it? If you want to stay with Cisco and the price is too high, you might want to just upgrade the Sup-I, or look at the Catalyst 4000. -Eddie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Desai, Inamul Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 7:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco We have gone comparing application can Extreme and Cisco deliver.

RE: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco
I agree... I think the CCIE will always stand out because of its testing nature, but ANY computer based test certification can lose its worth because of EXAM-Crams type materials. The Transenders is another product that will help destroy the value of Cisco certifications. I have seen people who have never touched a NT server get their MCSE's in a month because they can memorize answers using Transenders. Would you want to hire this guy? The more and more CCNP's and CCDA's you see out there, the more you should be focused on moving to higher ground to ensure your marketability. -Eddie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andy Walden Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 10:19 AM To: Mohamed Heeba Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: eXtreme ,juniper, Foundary and Cisco I think that training and certificates is a market all unto itself.

RE: Study sanity
Reading is important, but make sure you get PLENTY of hands on time. Lab time will help a lot of things to come together. Study in 30-45 mins blocks and take 10-15 minute breaks. I found that I was able to retain more this way. Also take notes! Your notes should be your "cliff notes" to regroup your thoughts when you come back to a technology that you have already studied. I used 15 three ring binders and made my own books from CCO print outs and my notes to study. You should also print out the DOC CD subjects if you can. (IP, IPX, Appletalk...etc). If not at least know how to get to them and what each document contains.

RE: average salaries
Denis, You can find salary averages for certified people, but you really can't go by them. Location is one major factor, but so is the individual. A lot of engineers lack the ability to articulate themselves and/or lack the ability to sell/justify technology at a business level where most managers think. People should not assume they are worth more money because they are now certified. Obtaining a certification clearly shows initiative and never really shows the amount of hours and resources exhausted for it. Any certification compensation should be based on this and not because some magazine or web page said you should be making $20-30k more. I suggest you log the amount of hours you spend studying and money you spend on books, routers, and/or lab time. This will give your employer a better idea of what was involved in obtaining your certifications. It will also show you how much of your life you lost when trying to accomplish the CCIE!

RE: CCIE
The starting CCIE number was 1025. -Eddie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jason Roysdon Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2000 2:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CCIE Speaking of the magic number, what are they up to these days? The CCIE popuplation is up to 4992 as of Nov. 1st. 314 have been decertified (that must suck, but I guess some of those folks could be retired), and the starting CCIE number is 1000 (I believe), so that puts it around 6300.
