Re: Lab router management
Set up a terminal server with console connections to all the routers. You will need to power clear the routers to begin the process. the best setup would be by using remote power switches.

RE: EASY ?? FOR MOST OF YOU
I have a question regarding CSMA/CD vs full duplex. If the problems relating to distance are set due to the limitations of CSMA/CD, what are the limits when using full duplex?

I like your plan to turn this into a non-easy question! The only experience I have with Gigabit Ethernet is in a fully-switched network where every port is full duplex, in which case CSMA/CD parameters are not an issue. However, shared, half-duplex Gigabit Ethernet is viable also. With shared 10 and 100-Mbps Ethernet, the minimum frame size is equal to the maximum round-trip propagation delay of the network. In other words, the minimum frame size is equal to the slotTime = 512 bits. Sticking to this rule would haver resulted in impracticably small networks for Gigabit Ethernet, however. The solution was a process called "carrier extension." According to Rich Seifert in his excellent book, "Gigabit Ethernet," "The key change is that the slotTime and the minimum frame are no longer the same. The minimum frame is maintained at 512 bits (64 bytes, as in 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernets), but the slotTime is set at 4096 bit-times (512 bytes). Frames that are shorter than the slotTime are artificially extended by appending a carrier-extension field so that they are exactly one slotTime long. This extends the duration of the time that the station transmits If a collision occurs during any time from the beginning of the frame to the end of the extension field, the MAC will jam, abort, and backoff." See the book for even more gory details! &;-) Priscilla > >>>Brian > > >attenuation is effected by 3 elements spreading, scattering, and absorption. > > >From: Alvarado Jesus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: Alvarado Jesus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: EASY ??

Re: Linux kernel ported to work on Cisco hardware
Although it conflicts with the original goal of Linux as a *NIX for cheap hardware, the use of Linux on Cisco hardware will benefit those who have simple routing tasks to do and do not need a bloated -whoops, feature rich OS for the job. good WAN cards for x86 boxes can be expensive and troublesome, this could solve some real world problems with custom network systems and applications that need direct access to network hardware, and the Cisco hardware with Linux will also be great for development of new protocols.

Re: isdn backup
What are you trying to backup here? I don't see any routing. Start with a working primary first and I can probably give you suggestions for a solution. Roughly, what you need are two static routes with different weights so the primary is favored, and the backup is much more costlier, or, set the dialer as the default route with a static 0.0.0.0 pointing to the primary, that way, when the primary disappears, the static leaves the table and the dialer goes up. remember to write an access list on the dialer to prevent dialing for RIP updates, etc. depending on what type of traffic you have traversing the router. -Erik - Original Message - From: "Clue Less" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 10:25 AM Subject: isdn backup | Greetings all, | | Got a question on routing with ISDN backup.

Re: dns
There are several options for the goal you are seeking. The question is how much money you have. The best solution of course would be to distribute the site over geographically distant locations, multi-homed at each site peering (BGP) with multiple providers. Also, don't forget farms of redundant servers/switches/routers at each site with load balancers. I suggest starting your high redundancy plan with a single good data center with redundant connections to an ISP with a very high SLA and a redundant backbone that is peered to multiple providers. Go redundant on switches and routers to your server farm, and add a pair of load balancers. You can also add DNS load balancers, cisco calls theirs "distributed director". I personally don't believe in relying on DNS for disaster recovery, unless I have a data center explode, I can bring everything back up long before the DNS updates propagate everywhere.

Primary DNS server is on ISP A and secondary DNS server is on ISP B. The DNS server on ISP A has two records for customer's web server, for example : www a 10.0.0.1 (IP address given by ISP A) www a 20.0.0.1 (IP address given by ISP B) The goal is to use dual ISP for back-up purpose, so the web server will serve for 24 hour / day. Since the DNS server only load balance between two same host records, how about if one link is broken ? For example : Link from ISP B to Customer is broken, meanwhile someone in Internet is accessing the web server and the DNS server give him the IP address of 20.0.0.1, so the session will time out. He will has an access to web server until the DNS server give him the IP address of 10.0.0.1 (because the DNS server load balance these two records). Are there any solutions to solve this problem, so the DNS server could detect the unreachable IP address and after that it would give the correct reachable IP address to the client ? Thank you
Telephony switches
Hello All, can I get some suggestions on good books and/or resources to help me get familiarized with telephony switching, in particular, the Cisco/summafour telephony switches? I found cisco's online docs for the VCO/4k, but I am light in experience with telephony switching and need some more fundamental info.

Re: Router Configuration Backups?? [7:70009]
Use a TFTP server with tripwire installed. All you need is an old PC, a basic linux install and a free version of tripwire. Cost is next to nothing.

Re: FR concept question [7:71263]
The short answer is no. Server1 requests a file from Server2. At router Chicago, a frame is created with a remote destination DLCI 100. Encapsulated in that frame is the packet with a destination of Server 1.FR is a layer two protocol. It only has info to forward the packet to the remote switch with DLCI 100. This is defined by the PVC mapping. Yes, shorter path would be to use the frame cloud to send it to DLCI 99 directly. However, DLCI 86 and DLCI 99 are DTE devices that are not aware of each other. If the frame was addressed to DLCI 99 directly, it would be dropped by the carrier as a violation of the defined map. Since there are only ten bits available for addressing, DLCI numbers are reused for different customers.
