cat5500 with no modules - what to buy for ccie study purpose [7:5885]

2001-05-25 Thread Gabriel Nickel

Hi group,
we got a 5500 with no modules here and we would like to integrate this sweet
thing in our ccie practice lab.
from what i know, we need something ISL capable. which module(s) do you
recommend (prefer cheapest
solution) to get some practice with ccie lab like switch configs? what about
a
WS-X5213A, would this
module be sufficient?

thanks in advance,
gabriel

3DES for Cisco17xx ?

2001-04-05 Thread Gabriel Nickel

Under Table 3: Platform - 1700 in this document:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/iosw/iore/iomjre121/prodlit/1064_pp.ht
m
there are several IPSec 3DES images listed, which are not available in the
download section:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/Iosplanner/Planner-tool/iosplanner.cgi?
get_crypto=data_from=hardware_name=1720software_name=release_name=majorR
el=12.1state=:HW

any idea why there is no IPSec 3DES 12.1 IOS in the download center?
Is the VPN module needed for 128k  bandwidth or can the CPU handle the
software encryption on a 1720 ?

thanks in advance,
Gabriel

hi folks,
i would like to get a little more practice on is-is, dlsw and ipx
routing. i couldnt find any information which IOS feature pack to use for
isis. all my 25xx routers have the latest IP feature pack loaded. it
seems the command "router isis" can be executed but it doesnt go into the
router config mode. i know for dlsw i have to get an IBM featured IOS and
for ipx there is another IOS. is there any IOS which features isis, dlsw
and ipx in one image?
any information or URLs to this issue would be greatly appreciated,

passed CIT

2000-12-05 Thread Gabriel Nickel

Hi group,
i am happy to announce that i have passed the CIT today and finally got my CCNP.
The CIT covered Troubleshooting models, Cat 5k  VLANs, TCP/IP, Novell (quite a lot of 
questions), Token Ring, ISDN, FR and
Appletalk (very few questions), CCO related stuff. Knowing the various shows and 
debugs is a must.
The resources: CIT book by Chappell/Farkas, Boson #2, Priscillas flash cards and the 
list.

Any suggestions how to start preparing for the CCIE written? I just started reading 
Doyle's book..

 0 format errors, 0 checksum errors, 0 bad hop count

Any suggestions what the reason for the high "not a gateway" output might be?

Re: BGP community tagging

Suaveguru,
The community attribute is a way to group destinations in a certain community and 
apply routing decisions (accept, prefer,
redistribute, etc.) according to those communities.
Please read the BGP case studies section 2 example:

BCRAN passed

2000-11-21 Thread Gabriel Nickel

Yes!!!
Compared to Routing and Switching i found this exam fairly easy. There were like 20 
choose-IOS-command-from-list questions. The
following subjects were covered:
- Frame Relay
- X25
- AAA/Security
- ISDN
- Dialup, Modem Config
- Router and Connection Deployment
- PPP
- NAT

I took the Boson #1 and COLT test and read the Ciscopress BCRAN book by Paquet (except 
for the chapter dealing with the 700's). The
list, off course, is also a great resource.

Re: !H

A !H indicates that the router at that hop doesn't know anything about the target 
address; the packet comes back to the source with
a message saying "No Forwarding Address".

Re: Switching 2.0 passed

2000-10-12 Thread Gabriel Nickel

Read the CCO case studies for BGP, also Halabis book would be a nice addition. 
Combined with the ACRC material you will pass the
test. Know the IOS commands and in which config mode they should be typed in.
BTW i am preparing for the switching 2.0 test. I summarized the following chapters 
from the CCIE LAN switching book:
-CGMP/IGMP
-VTP
-L3 switching
-VLAN
-Trunking (no ATM, no FDDI)
-STP
Combined with the Boson Test, would that be enough to pass the exam?

Gabriel

 Please advice me .
 BTW,I use ACRC courebook and CCO, Is that enough covering the whole exam
 objectives in BSCN?

 Thanks

Re: dynamic vlan membership

2000-10-12 Thread Gabriel Nickel

the vmps database is a simple text file, which the vmps server downloads to decide 
whether the devices are authorized to join a
specific VLAN.
here is a sample database:

!part 1: global settings
vmps domain testvtp
vmps mode open (no entry for MAC-assign port to fallback VLAN)
vmps fallback default
vmps no-domain-req deny (no VMPS domain name - VTP domain name mismatch allowed)

!part2: address database
vmps-mac-addrs
address 0060.0893.dbc1 vlan-name engineering
address 0060.08aa.5279 vlan-name --NONE--
(the MAC is associated to a vlan-name not a vlan number. use "--NONE--" to deny a MAC 
from any dynamic VLAN port)

!part3: other policies
vmps-port-group restrictengineering
device 172.16.1.2 port 3/1
device 172.16.1.3 port 4/1
vmps-port-policies vlan-name engineering port-group restrictengineering

the information is taken from the CCIE LAN switching book (page 146/147).

hope this helps,
Gabriel

BGP/OSPF issue

2000-08-30 Thread Gabriel Nickel



Hi folks,
we got a problem involving BGP and OSPF 
here. Lets say we are an ISP (AS 1) with two routers (Router1, Router2)in 
different cities. They are both running OSPF (and IBGP) to exchange intra-AS 
routing information. Router2 is connected via BGP to an upstream provider (AS 
2). Router1 has static entries for a large customer network (downstream). All 
operations are running well but if we traceroute from our Router 2 to the 
customer network the packets dont take the path via Router 1 but via our 
upstream provider (AS 2) which is suboptimal and not desirable. From my 
understanding the packets chose this path because of the eBGP administrative 
distance (20). Do we have to decrease the OSPF distance to 20? In addition 
static routing is not desirable (there would be too many networks to 
announce).
Any input would be much 
appreciated,

Gabriel

we got a problem here with a 3640. any attempts to

Hi!

the understanding of the IOS 12.1 BGP Config Guide plus the BGP part of the

Subject: A little unsure...


 Hey Group,
  This may take a little space so if you don't have much time just
close it out. I am writing the CCNA in 4 days. My question is on the topic
of Access-lists. I know them very well and am not worried about them on the
test. My questions are geared more towards fully understanding them for
being in the field. Here we go...

 For example:
 access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq www
 To me this is saying to permit anything leading with a www. I am wondering
more on the syntax. Why are there 2 any's? Is it using 2 so it can say any
tcp and any www? Why dont they just write ...permit tcp any eq www?

 another is:
 access-list 101 permit IP any any
 I have no clue why they use 2 any's on this one. If I used only 1 would it
not work?

 I generally know my stuff but I process things better when I can totally
digest them. If this is a waste of your time I apologise but I just wanted
to clear my head on this. Thanks so much guys/ladies, ~Mark Z.~

access-list 101 indicates an extended access list. the syntax is:
access-list {number} {permit|deny} {protocol} {source} {destination} {port}
one any for the source and one for the destination.

HTH,
gabriel
