OSPF inter-area learned routes [7:22268]

2001-10-05 Thread Ian Schorr

Okay, I've been beating my head over this one for a week, and finally give
up:

I'm trying to understand the logic behind OSPF's and Cisco's routing
selection behavior in this instance:

I have 6 routers, segmented into 3 areas - areas 0, 1, and 2.

Routers A1 and A2, which sit in area 1, have fast ethernet interfaces on the
same network (we'll call this network A), have formed adjacencies with
eachother across this network, and seem to be exchanging routes properly.

Routers B1 and B2 are in areas 0, 1, and 2.  Again, each router has a fast
ethernet interface on the same network (network B), which is in area 0.
B1 has a T3 link to A1, and this numbered link is in area 1.  B2 has a T1
link to A2, and this numbered link is in area 1.

Routers C1 and C2 sit in area 2, and have fast ethernet interfaces on the
same network (network C).  B1 has a T1 link to C1, and B2 has a T3 link to
C2.

Pretty much everything else is default, including link metrics, summary
metrics, etc.  No summarization is taking place.

Now, I'm confused, because if I do show ip route on router A1 or A2 for
network C, the selected inter-area route for network C points across the T1
link to B2, as opposed to the lower-cost path across the T3 to B1 (then
across the FE link to B2, and across the T3 link to C2)!  If I do a show ip
ospf database summary for network C, I do see that I've received summary
routes for network C from both B1 and B2, and that B1 has a lower metric,
but it seems that the A routers select the path across to B2 anyway.

I assume that this has something to do with the fact that the core routers
are both backbone routers AND ABRs for the other areas, and that LSAs for
area 1 don't pass across the fast ethernet interface (instead, I expect to
see summary-LSAs for the area 1 passing across area 0, then being
re-summarized as available paths back to area 1), but I suspect that there's
just something fundamental about OSPF that I don't understand.  Can anybody
explain to me why the better-metric path isn't being selected in this case?

Thanks,
Ian Schorr

Re: Passed BCRAN

2000-09-08 Thread Ian Schorr

I'm confused.  Is the test that everyone's talking about passing the "BCRAN"
or the "Remote Access" exam?  So far I've been reading them as one and the
same, but since the BCRAN book from Cisco Press (which I own) is supposed to
cover the same material as the BCRAN (class), not an Exam Guide (Cisco Press
says their Remote Access exam guide will be out in December), I'm starting
to wonder.

I thought the BCRAN (class) was supposed to be good preparation for the
Remote Access exam, but that there was no actual BCRAN test?

I passed BCRAN today with an 846 (706 to pass).  It wasn't nearly as
difficult as I was expecting.  I used the Cisco Press BCRAN book by
Catherin
Paquet.  I read the book once, skimmed it a second time, then reviewed a
few
chapters.  I wrote out lots and lots of config fragments for practice.
That's it.

Re: PPP Callback

This also puts the long-distance costs, etc. on the "main site" that the
user is calling into, if toll charges apply.

It is simply a security feature for dial up accounts. The user dials into
the system and the system authenticates him, drops the connection then
calls
the user back at a designated number.

So if someone else tried to dial into the system from a different location,
the system will accept the call, drop it then call the pre-configured
number
-this is where security comes in,

Re: Passed ACRC

2000-08-01 Thread Ian Schorr

And it went well!!

At the bell, I passed the ACRC.  My score was 825 out of 790 - a little
close for my comfort, but passing is passing, I suppose =)

Not that it matters much anymore (since the exams are completely retired as
of today), but I have to say that the first Boson ACRC pack was dead-on.  I
think it really helped me get the edge I needed.

Also I really wanted to thank the group - people like Chuck, Priscilla,
Howard, and many others who have given insight any way they can!

Re: subnet vs. Vlan

2000-07-27 Thread Ian Schorr

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

 I beg to differ on this one. I'm currently dealing with a network that has
 4 VLANs. Two of those VLANs use multiple subnets. the only thing you need
 to do to make another subnet work on a VLAN is a secondary IP on the
router
 interface for that VLAN. Remember - VLANs are layer 2 (MAC address), not
 Layer 3 (IP address). The only entity that cares what subnet a node
belongs
 to is the router.

Well, that and the IP hosts themselves =)

 You must use a router between any networks, even if they are on the same
 VLAN.  You do not need a router to merely connect VLANS if they are on
 the same network.  However, you could just make them just one VLAN in
 that case.

  HI all
  I have a question.
  Cisco recommends that there be one-to-one relationship
  between ip subnets and Vlans.
  When the number of devices on a Vlan exceeds the
  number of host ip addresses per configured subnet,
  more than one subnet can exit on a Vlan.
  Having said that, my question;
  There are two subnets in a Vlan. Do we need a router
  to interconnect these two subnets?
  I know that we need a router to interconnect two
  different Vlans.
  In addtion to that, can more than one vlan exist on a
  subnet?
  if so, do we still need a router to interconnect
  different vlans even if there are in a same subnet?
 
  thanks

Re: LAN design

2000-07-27 Thread Ian Schorr

And by default, most current Cisco routers already have Fast Switching or
better enabled (unless extended IP access lists are applied, if I remember
right).

""Tony Olzak"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
8lak03$u0r$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:8lak03$u0r$[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 But the performance is still much faster than manually routing everything.
 After the first couple of packets, the switch doesn't need to go through
the
 router to reach the other subnet. So, in fact, it is really like layer 3
 switching.

 "Kent Hundley" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message

  Ron,
 
  layer 3 switching = routing
 
  "layer 3 switching" is just a marketing term thought up by sales droids
to
  confuse the masses.  At most, layer 3 switching means "fast routing and
  fowarding".  You have asics and software enhancements, but the basic
  foundation its still a layer 3 path determination and forwarding based
on
  that information, i.e what we called routing in the old days.
 
  Hope that sheds some light.

  switch at the core? Shouldn't the core be routed?
