Re: Re : MAC Address to IP Address conversion

2000-11-26 Thread Gary Frye
Another trick that works to make sure you get everything
is to first clear the arp cache (clear arp-cache) and then ping the broadcast
address (either the all zeroes broadcast, or if you just want one net, then
ping that network's broadcast, i.e. if your net is 209.149.135.0/24, then
ping 209.149.135.255).  Every device that falls in that range (barring any
subnet masking mistakes), and if all machines are powered on will answer
the router's pings.  Now do your "show arp", you'll get a very accurate mac
to ip address table.

Fw: BGP on the Brain - Design Issue

2000-09-05 Thread Gary . Frye

Maybe I can help with this.

BGP doesn't do load balancing in the traditional sense of the word.  The
only time you'll see a router have two BGP learned routes to the same
network is when that router has two connections to the same ISP and you
have configured the command "maximum-paths 2" under the BGP routing
process.  And I venture to say that you'll never see a BGP router doing
"per-packet" load balancing.  Not in the real world.  Per-packet load
balancing requires process switching which drags performance of the router
down.

Typically, to make sure that both links get utilized, the edge BGP routers
will advertise a default route into the IGP and from there it is up to the
IGP to make the best routing decision.  For instance:

--Router1Router2--
Router3-Router4--

Both Router1 and Router4 are injecting 0.0.0.0 into OSPF.  Now Router2 will
prefer the 0.0.0.0 coming from Router1 because it has a lower OSPF Metric
than the one coming from Router4.  (and the inverse is true of Router3).

Of course, you as the Design Engineer have every option open.  You can
influence all the traffic to go one way or another.  But you have to know
the network and the traffic patterns very well before you start.  You can
set metrics to influence path selection.  Or you can use Route Maps (Policy
routing).  You can have Router2 Send all HTTP traffic over Router1's
default link, and all other traffic over Router4's link.

You can customize BGP to suit your needs, but the difference between it and
other Routing Protocols is that you have to decide the direction, you can't
leave it up to BGP to pick the best path (like you would with an IGP).

Hope this helps.

Re: CCIE review....

2000-08-17 Thread Gary Frye

1).  HDLC will count bad frames and drop them.  It's up to the hosts to
retransmit.

2).  LEC could fail to find a LECS because it isn't configured with the
LECS' VCI/VPI, and the LECS isn't operating on a well-known VCI/VPI (there
are other reasons, but that is the most prominent)

3).  The * means that this route entry is the last resort route.

4.)  No need to worry about STUN.  Cisco has all but dropped interest in it
and you won't see it on any tests (not even the CCIE written/lab).  In its
place, be sure you know the hell out of DSLSw+ and RSRB.

Re: [Fwd: Morning]

2000-06-07 Thread Gary Frye

It could just be my two cents worth, but I was under the impression that
split-horizon only affected distance-vector routing protocols and that
link-state protocols with their more sophisticated LSA's gives the router a
better view of the entire internetwork, and so split-horizon isn't necessary
and doesn't apply.

I know that EIGRP is a hybrid routing protocol...  but it is typically
considered a link-state one.

Just stating what I think the explanation could be.

Re: ask for help on DHCP

2000-06-04 Thread Gary Frye

Yep, all you need is to configure the Helper address (ip helper-address
[address]) command on Router1, and as long as Router1 has route to LAN3
(whether by static or routing protocol...  and Router3 has route back to
LAN1).

See, Router1 will take the DHCP broadcasts and convert them into unicast
packets and send them directed to LAN3.  For the "address" argument in the
command you can use the specific IP of the DHCP server or use the broadcast
address for that network (192.168.100.255).
