Hi, Charles, As usual, you reek of brilliance, and as usual, you have to respond to your own post since no one else has. This is an overly simplistic guideline, as it does not include factors such as memory: a 7xxx router with 4MB memory won't be as effective as a 3xxx with 128MB.

According to CIT - this means layer 1 is up, but layer 2 is down (paraphrase) - what I need to know is the reprecussions of this - In other words, can I ping this interface ip address from within the router? RG: A PING will not operate here. Since Layer 2 is not functional, no other higher layer functions will operate correctly. Could I do a sh ip route on this ip address and at least try to see it? RG: Showing the routing table will not necessarily yield anything valuable here. Obviously, I can't do it from another router across the interface, but I thought I'd be able to assign an ip address, ping it internally, and have it ready to go when we get something to plug into it. RG: If you just want the interface to come up, I believe you can enter no keepalive at the interface config level, which will fool the router into believing the Layer 2 functionality is intact. Otherwise, all you need is a hub attached to the interface to activate Layer 2. Kind of hitting my head against a wall here. Thanks. RG: Use someone else's head...it hurts (you) less.

RE: Question about SRT and SR/TLB
Title: RE: Question about SRT and SR/TLB This is a really confusing area! OK...SRT (Source-Route Transparent) Bridging enables bridging between both a TR and Ethernet segment, but hosts will not communicate with other hosts on the other type of network. This means a TR host will not be able to communicate with an Ethernet host. All the bridging provides here is a transport to get from one network to another. Imagine this topology: TR1---E---TR2 SRT will enable a host from TR1 to communicate with a host on TR2 through E. Even though the TR traffic will travers the Ethernet segment, the Ethernet hosts will not be able to read the data. SR/TLB does indeed enable communications between a TR segment host and an Ethernet segment host. There are some things lost in the translation (isn't there always?) so it's not a great way to go. I think I would prefer routing in this case to bridging sonce the layer 3 stuff is independent of the layer 2 incompatibilities.

These units have been sitting in the corner for who knows how long, and anyone who had the password is long gone. I can run a device discovery but anything beyond that is protected. I looked inside and there is no battery I can pull. I didn't expect so, as probably the password is part of the firmware. Also no jumpers, again as expected, to clear settings. At least none that I can determine. Probably a firmware upgrade is needed, about $700, though chances are the same stumbling block would come into play.

RE: UDP and Fragmentation

IP packets encapsulate both UDP and TCP and it is the IP datagram that can get fragmented. Thats why they have the fragmentation offset and identification fields in the IP header; to take care of the fragmented packets. TCP sequence numbers add a touch of reiliability to the TCP protocol by ensuring that the TCP segments are arrived in order. However, UDP is not reliable as it does not have any sequence numbers so if UDP segments do come out of order it is the responsibility of a higher layer to point that out. In short i think you are getting confused between segmentation and fragmentation. Segmentation occurs at layer 4 while fragmentation occurs at layer 3. IP handles all the fragmentation issues so be it TCP or UDP encapsulated in IP fragmentation doesnt care for that matter. Hope this clears things up.

I have yet to fail a test (13 strong and still going) but I'm not bragging about it, only suggesting that maybe your study habits need a little revision. I taught IT for a couple of years at a local college and this was the most common problem for students that didn't perform well on the exams. I have heard Chuck Larrieu, one of the lists' notable members, mention several times that he practices the vertical study method. This entails selecting your topic of choice, say for example the RIP routing protocol, and then study the topic not from a single source, but from several sources. You could indeed use the Sybex CCNA book, then go to Cisco's site to help fill in the blanks, and then finish up with one of the non-certification routing books, such as Doyles' TCP/IP Routing book. This is just a sample, but I believe this method to be the most in-depth and comprehensive, which sounds like what you need. Also, I like to make flash cards on topics that require a fair amount of memorization, such as debug commands, etc. Remember to spend as much time on a topic as you need, rereading everything until you understand every word in a given paragraph. Simply reading through without understanding does no good whatsoever. At this time, might I suggest a break? Sometimes when I am really trying hard to do something, it just won't work for me. I take a break, relax and clear my thoughts, and then attack the problem with a renewed vigor. Sounds lame but it works wonders. Good luck!

RE: mls
MLS refers to Multilayer Switching MLS is the process whereby a switch works in conjunction with a router or RSM (route switch module) to provide high-speed routed traffic. In simple terms, the switch sends the initial traffic to the router to discover the path needed for the destination, and then the switch takes over from there without the router's assistance. This allows you to maintain routed networks at switched speeds as the switch fabric, which is based in hardware, will move traffic much faster than a router, which is based in software. Good luck!

RE: Hang on Cisco Documentation
The address is correct for this. Since the doc CD uses HTML, it will appear as a local website, which can use the loopback address. I agree to check your proxy settings. If you are using a proxy server, configure the settings to not use the proxy for the 127.0.0.1 address so it can be pulled up locally. Since your OS is Win98, there is nothing you need to do in the registry. I have used IE (which Cisco says to use Netscape) successfully with the CD, so the browser shouldn't be a factor here. The curious thing to me is the fact that the problem is intermittent. Oh well, check your proxy settings and see if this doesn't help Rik Guyler! -Original Message- From: Brant Stevens [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 9:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Hang on Cisco Documentation Are you serious?!?! Firewalling on 127.0.0.1?!?! I don;t think so... That's the loopback address!!! Most likely, there is a problem in the registry of the WS... I know there's an issue with Windows 2000 and the documentation CD... it has to do with the registry's location of IE... anyways... - Run regedit - Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/IE4/Setup/Path - Change the value from "%programfiles%\Internet Explorer" to the location where IE is installed on your system, for example "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer". Hope this helps... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... If you're using a proxy server, be sure that the ip address 127.0.0.1 doesn't use it. cvp [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Nemeth) on 07/26/2000 04:57:24 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Nemeth) To: "myccie Lian" [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Claude-Vincent PEREZ/JP-TOKYO-HOLDING/LVMH) Subject: Re: Hang on Cisco Documentation On Dec 9, 5:49pm, "myccie Lian" wrote: } } My PC is Win98 after I installed cisco documentation CD and launch CD. } Sometimes it works that I can access the CD but sometimes when I click } on a } link it appear "Connect: host 127.0.0.1:8080 contacted.

RE: Sysco cert question
This is the funniest thread we've ever had on the list!
