Re: BCRAN objectives

2000-09-20 Thread Jeffrey Eiber

I took the exam recently, and I too read those objectives.  My advise?
Forget you ever even looked at that PDF.  That info is COMPLETELY
misleading, and I'm baffled as to why Cisco would publish something so
irrelevant to the exam.  Concentrate on the objectives set forth in the
BCRAN book.  Good luck!

I am new to this list, and I hope I'm not reasking an old question.

I looked at the BCRAN exam objectives yesterday, and it shows TAG switching
and VoIP as a couple of objectives.  Does anybody know what's up with this?
Has anybody taken the exam in the last few weeks and can speak to this?

Thanks,
Trav

Passed BCRAN

2000-09-08 Thread Jeffrey Eiber

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.

Jeff

Re: cisco load director

2000-09-08 Thread Jeffrey Eiber

Your physical setup is the problem.  You have three options to make this
work.

1)  Plug the servers directly into local director, using crossover cables.
2)  Buy a new switch and plug it into the local director, and the servers
into it.
3)  Create a new VLAN on the switch for the servers and LD, but you need a
L3 device to handle the VLAN routing.

Your packets/frames are getting mixed up because return traffic isn't coming
back through the local director.  According to your config (no ping-allow
x), your shouldn't be able to ping your real servers.

Hope this works out for you.

 hi,

 i can ping the servers from the PIX , but not the virtual IP ... the
servers
 are not directly plugged in the LD .. there is a common switch for the LD
 interface,the PIX internal interface and the servers  as they all are in
the
 sane network. one thing i want is that should i plug in one more interface
 of the LD in the same network as right now i have only one interface into
 this network.

  I didn't notice anything obviously wrong with your config.  This may
sound
  obvious, but the LD uses a regular old NIC.  If your servers are plugged
  directly into the LD, you must use a crossover cable.  For
troubleshooting
  only, allow any port to pass through the local director.  Then lock it
 down
  to 80/443 after everything is working.  Try ping your servers from the
LD,
  and try to ping the LD from the PIX DMZ interface.  Do a 'show real' and
  'show virtual' to get some better info than the config.
 
  Let me know how you do from here.

  very
   simple config. i have a firewall whose one interface is to the
internet
  and
   one to the internal n/w ... as usual .. nothing diff.  . and
inside
 on
   the n/w i have one load director and 2 web servers which i want to
load
   balance ...
  
   i have natted the virtual IP in the firewall to a public IP .. and
 opened
   port 80 for incoming hits  now this virtual IP is bound to the 2
web
   servers ...
  
   but the prob is that i donot get any inbound connections from outside
..
   also when i tried to telnet to port 80 of the virtual IP from inside
 also
  ..
   i'm unable to do so ...
  
   also i have connected only one ethernet cable from the first ethernet
   interface on the LAN .. do i have to connect another cable from the
 second
   interface even though they are in the same n/w ??
  
   please can anyone help out ... this is ans SOS situation ..
