I would imagine the 5 CCIE mark has already been obtained. I met someone
who was working on their 5th at the end of the summer and I'm sure they
have passed by now.

Don't forget the article in Packet about Mark Purcell. I'm not sure on

With the announcement of the CCIE Voice certification ( a Good Thing,

I wonder a couple of things:

1) who will be the first quadruple CCIE?

2) Does Cisco still recognize the Design, WAN, and IBM CCIE's as valid
certifications, making it possible to have more than four?

3) When will the CCIE become just another useless cert in the long
history
of useless networking certs?

I've waffled on this one before. But lately I've been spending more time
with Soltie ( CCIE Practical Studies, Volume 1 )

Previously, I've said the jury is still out on this one.

Now that I've given Mr. Soltie his due, I am finding this is a very good

In fact, if I dare say so, I am finding that Mr. Soltie is much more

Anyone else finding the same?

You can hardcode the source address of TACACS requests on the routers.
This keeps you from needing to define every interface in the TACACS
server. The command is ip tacacs source-interface.

You can also define network devices in CiscoSecure with wildcards. You
could have one entry that maps all routers?

If you need more info drop me a line. I've been using it for several

RE: ISS Real Secure Vs Cisco IDS [7:63461]-Automat [7:63560]

2003-02-22 Thread Jim Brown
This is my point exactly. I don't allow my IDS to respond to attacks for
the very reason you stated. It could easily force a DoS. I think a lot
of people don't take this into consideration. The vendors push automatic
response as a sexy feature when it really could be a major nuisance. Let
each piece of the puzzle do what it was designed for, no crossover. The
D in IDS stands for detection, I didn't install and IDRS. *The R is
for response if anyone missed that.

I try to use the most cost effective measures in a layered approach to
security. Anyone who throws up a firewall and thinks they are secure is
usually in for a big surprise. The most cost effective and easy approach
to security is just to keep your systems patched! This is simple and
would probably fight off 98% of all problems. The SQL Slammer worm is a
perfect example. The patch was available months ago! Security is a VERY
dynamic process.

I use and IDS to help identify problem IPs, what type of attacks do I
need to make sure I protected against, and auditing. The problem with an
IDS is it can only identify attacks in progress on the wire. An IDS does
NOT acknowledge if attacks were successful. This is where the layered
approach comes in and the most important piece of the whole puzzle is so
basic a clearly defined corporate security policy with teeth. How
many individuals realize 80% of all attacks and problems are not from
external threats but from employees?

I take security very seriously. I worked for a company once who was
about to throw up an E-commerce site that generated $1.5M the first year
behind a Microsoft Proxy Server. I had to scream, complain, and scare
the hell out of the executives before the coughed up the bucks for an
adequate security implementation.

An IDS is a tool, a mere piece of the security pie. NEVER put all of
your security eggs into one basket or there sure to get cracked. That's
pretty catchy. I need to remember that one.

[7:63557]


I cut out some of the other messages to concentrate on one issue, 
automated IDS responses.  If your automated IDS responses result in a 
automated packet filter of any sort, I think you are doing yourself 
a disservice.  You might stop some kiddies, but you are just leaving 
yourself wide open to professionals who can DoS you very easily.

I suppose if everyone just started filtering at the edge to help 
prevent spoofing, but alas, that is not the reality of today's 
networks.

It should be trivial for the attacker to DoS your systems beyond 
compare.  For example, what if he spoofs a trusted host?  Now your 
trusted host cannot have access anymore.  Ok, so what if you have 
exceptions for the trusted host?  Now he has a host worth spoofing 
for, DoS trusted host, assume trusted host's identity.  Easier said 
than done and you can mitigate the risk with stuff like mac address 
port locking, anti-spoofing acls, but just to give you some ideas 
that automated IDS responses can be particularly dangerous.

Not even factoring the possibility you can lose accessibility to many 
systems, but most firewall products have some pitiful limitations 
(one can easily blow out any stateful firewall), and you can be 
assured your acls will grow to be so big your firewall just might 
keel over.  I hope you got default-closed systems.  ;)  But I suppose 
it won't matter at that point, your network will be down, or your IDS 
might be filled with so much garbage that you might not see the 
real attack come through for your forensics team to discover which 
hosts have been compromised.

 Come on now, the slammer worm? If you are security conscious this
 shouldn't have had any effect on you. Microsoft released a patch last
 summer.  Security is a best effort solution. It is about layers and
 maintenance. You cannot eliminate risk, you can only reduce risk.
 
 An IDSs responsibility is to pick up attacks on the wire, not prevent
 them. I personally don't believe in allowing my IDS to respond to an
 attack.

As with most things, you need to way up costs againts your requirements.
IN
our case, security is absolutely essential, so having a multivendor

solutions (and indeed fully redundant) is costly, but we see it as
justified.

With regards to action during attacks etc.  We mostly rely on manual
actions
as we dont want to inadvertently block legitimate traffic (for example
if an
attack came from a spoofed IP). For automatic action, you can make use
of
Ciso Policy manage, which has the ability to dynamically rewrite ACL's,
on
Pix's, Routers, and indeed Cat's.  according to data from IDS.  So for
example, if you where really paraniod (like we are),. you could have
pix's
as the first firewall, with IDS on the inside / dmz etc (using IDSM or
standalone IDS), tie these together with Policy manager .. then taking a
further step into your network, a set of Nokia Fw1 NG, along with
further
Nokia IDS solutions on the inside, and tied together using the
enterprisef
software!

 Being able to detect attacks with multiple IDS is one thing.
 What action can

RE: Too much Security Overkill on wireless network??? [7:62010]

2003-01-28 Thread Jim Brown
I'm testing this very scenario at the moment. Just force the use of EAP
and turn off Open and Shared authentication.

I would probably pick (LEAP/PEAP + (BKR or TKIP)) or IPSEC. Although the
IPSEC-only route wouldn't afford you the ability to deny surfing from
the DMZ. EAP locks down the network access except for authenticated
users.

IPSEC might be overkill on top of PEAP.
 
You could use PEAP to protect unicast transmissions and Broadcast Key
Rotation to protect multicast/broadcast traffic. The broadcast key is
securely transmitted to the client during the EAP authentication
process.

I will be forced to use LEAP instead of PEAP at the moment because of
some CE devices, but the process is exactly the same except PEAP is
slightly more secure.

Can someone, Mas, please let me know if I need to enter in a WEP
transmission key when using EAP and Broadcast Key Rotation? I know I
need to turn WEP on, but I think I can just leave out the key and
specify the length. Is this right? The documentation isn't very clear.

Eric,

Sorry to pile it on, but the error correction in an 802.11 wireless
radio
transmission also takes up almost half the throughput right off the bat
(11
Mbit/s becomes about 6.5 Mbit/s net, best case). Perhaps SSH, SSL and
EAP/WEP are superflurous when used with IPSec, but I would imagine that
you
need SSH and SSL to support users coming in from the outside, or
perhaps
as an additional level of protection for individual users of sensitive
applications from those with general network access (most attacks come
from
within...).

Typically, WEP is done in hardware, so theoretically, there shouldn't be
any
overhead if that is the case. But if you want to eliminate it, why not
use
force the use of EAP for wireless admission control but leave WEP off?
(I
think you can either not enter a key at all or enter one and then select
'No

Subject: Too much Security Overkill on wireless network???


Hi,

I have assigned the task of setting up a wireless network for my company

and I am wondering that I use too much security for the wireless.

Currently, I am setting a test wireless network for about 5 users.
Eventually, this

network will have about 50 users.  My set up is as follows:

1) The wireless network is sitting on the DMZ network.  This DMZ network
is
hang

off an interface of a pix firewall (Pix-525).  Wireless users are
required
to use

Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP)  in order to log

onto the wireless DMZ network.

2) In order to access the company iternal network which hang off the
inside

interface of the pix firewall, wireless users must use Cisco VPN Client
IPSec

to establish a secure VPN tunnel between their device and the Pix
firewall.

3) After succesfully establish the VPN tunnel between the wireless
device
and the

Pix firewall, wireless can only access the company internal network
applications

via SSL, SSH, POP3s and IMAPs.  I have a few users that tunnel
X-application
via

SSH connections.  Applications such as POP3, telnet and IMAP are not
allowed

from the DMZ network into the company internal network.

So far the test is going well.  However, my concern is that this will
not
scale well for

a large number of wireless users.  For example, let say for SSH
connection,
the

traffic is encrypted by SSH.  Below that, it is encrypted via IPSec.
Finally, it is

encrypted by PEAP.  I've not done any analysis yet but it is possible
that
50% of

the traffic is just overhead traffic for encryption.

Anyone has successfully implemented a secure wireless network on large
scale?

I would like to get your advise on this.  I have to present a
recommendation
to

my CTO in a next few days.

By the way, my company did hire a CCIE security consultant to work with
me
on

this project; however, this CCIE security is a f_cking moron.  Not
only he
doesn't

know anything about PEAP, but he even suggested that we use Cisco LEAP

because LEAP is much more secure than PEAP.  After he couldn't get PEAP
to

work, the SOB suggested that we switch to Cisco LEAP.  When we don't
want to

use Cisco LEAP, he suggested that we just use shared (aka STATIC WEP)

authentication because we are using IPSec and Secure applications to
access

the company internal network anyway.  The problem with this idea is that
once

wireless users are on the dmz wireless network, they can surf the
Internet

without restrictions.  I don't want strangers (if they get a hold of the
STATIC WEP

KEY) to use my company bandwith to use the Internet.  I want PEAP
because

it is safe and secure.  I am also testing EAP-TTLS but haven't had much
luck
with

it.

I am sure

RE: ACS Authentication/Auth/Accounting [7:59393]

2002-12-17 Thread Jim Brown
The ACS server should have some error report in the logs if the router
is contacting it. It sounds like the response is so quick, the ACS
server isn't doing a lookup.

Have you nailed down the interface the router should use as the source
address for contacting the ACS server.

If not, the router could be contacting the ACS server and the ACS server
is rejecting the request because it is undefined. 

The router could have multiple interfaces and is using the wrong one as
the source.

Subject: ACS Authentication/Auth/Accounting [7:59393]


Okay I've got my login authentication, authorization and accounting
working
on most of my switches and router through a ACS (TACACS+).  But I have
this
one router that gives me an % Error in authentication message as soon
as I
put in my username.  It doesn't even allow me to put in a password.  The
only way I can get into it is through the local account that I have
created
on it.  I've checked a similar router (same IOS, exact same
configuration),
and it works okay so what can I look for to troubleshoot this
problem??
Thanks in advance.

Here is the config on the router:

aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default local tacacs+
aaa authentication enable default enable tacacs+
aaa authorization exec default tacacs+ local
aaa authorization network default none
aaa accounting update newinfo
aaa accounting exec default start-stop tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop tacacs+
aaa accounting network default start-stop tacacs+

P.S.  Does anyone know of a way to filter out the commands that can be
accounted for at the ACS?  At the moment, the accounting is working a
great
but it accounts for every command that's put it. I have an access list
on
one of my router that is about 150 lines long and gets modified
constantly
and every command is accounted for in the ACS Accounting.  I'm trying to
see
if there's a way to filter out that particular access-list and not
account
for it everytime.  Thanks again.

Amer

 Hi group,

 I have a Cisco 3662 router with 128 of RAM and 16 Mb of flash memory.
 The
 problem is that I cannot make the router boot !!!. Each time I boot
the
 router I get the folowing error.
 I don't know why this error is displayed. I have tried replacing the
 IOS several times. I have repleaced the flash memory but still it
 doesn't work.
 Does it have anything to do with Smart Init? I don't know what it is
 and how it can be disabled
 Any input would be welcome,

 Thanks,

when

How about if you want the destination address changed for a particular

of traffic so HTTP traffic goes to an HTTP server and FTP to an FTP
server.

For example, if you have only one Public IP Address and if HTTP comes in

RE: Confused about MTU size [7:54689]

2002-10-03 Thread Jim Brown

I belong to the CheckPoint list server and a very similar discussion is
happening over there referencing Outlook over a VPN between CheckPoint
firewalls.

Could this problem be related to Tunnel overhead and packet
fragmentation?

I think this might be a problem with Microsoft's implementation of the
TCP/IP stack and large packets over 1500 MTU. Outlook might not be very
happy with fragmentation.

There is a registry setting for the end station that forces the MTU to
576 for any packets not destined for the local subnet.

This is cut and pasted from 
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q314053

EnablePMTUDiscovery 
Key: Tcpip\Parameters
Value Type: REG_DWORD - Boolean
Valid Range: 0,1 (False, True)
Default: 1 (True)
Description: Setting this parameter to 1 (True) causes TCP to attempt to
discover the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU or largest packet size) over
the path to a remote host. By discovering the Path MTU and limiting TCP
segments to this size, TCP can eliminate fragmentation at routers along
the path that connect networks with different MTUs. Fragmentation
adversely affects TCP throughput and network congestion. Setting this
parameter to 0 causes an MTU of 576 bytes to be used for all connections
that are not to computers on the local subnet. 

EnablePMTUBHDetect 
Key: Tcpip\Parameters
Value Type: REG_DWORD - Boolean
Valid Range: 0,1 (False, True)
Default: 0 (False)
Description: Setting this parameter to 1 (True) causes TCP to try to
detect Black Hole routers while doing Path MTU Discovery. A Black
Hole router does not return ICMP Destination Unreachable messages when
it needs to fragment an IP datagram with the Don't Fragment bit set. TCP
depends on receiving these messages to perform Path MTU Discovery. With
this feature enabled, TCP will try to send segments without the Don't
Fragment bit set if several retransmissions of a segment go
unacknowledged. If the segment is acknowledged as a result, the MSS will
be decreased and the Don't Fragment bit will be set in future packets on
the connection. Enabling black hole detection increases the maximum
number of retransmissions performed for a given segment. 

Anyone willing to modify their end station to force an MTU of 576 and
discovery of blackholes and report the results.

It would be most insightful to see the pre and post registry network
sniffer traces of Outlook traffic.

I don't have time now, but I think this could be the issue. I think it
may be an end station problem.

fails, the BDR takes its place and one new BDR is ellected). Now suppose
that I want the new router be the DR... How can I force this?? I know
that
I can force the priority in the election process (ip ospf priority
command), but I am not sure that changing this priority will start a new
election. Must I shut down the DR and BDR routers in order to force
a
new DR and BDR?? I don't think so

RE: BGP Aggregation in IOS 12.2 [7:54528]

2002-09-30 Thread Jim Brown

Elmer,

The way I read your config. You have enabled a single interface with
EIGRP routing, interface loopback17 of network 192.168.199.0/24.

You are redistributing all of EIGRP into BGP which only includes this
one network.

You are aggregating 192.168.192.0 255.255.248.0. The aggregate address
needs a minimum of one network in the aggregate address range to
advertise the supernet and more specific underlying routes.

The BGP table is exactly right as far as I can tell. The only networks
that should appear are the networks redistributed from EIGRP,
192.169.199.0/24, and the aggregate, 192.168.192.0/21, which is using
the previous /24 network for its very existence.

You must enter EACH of the loopbacks under the BGP process using
'network 192.168.192.0 mask 255.255.255.0', 'network 192.168.193.0 mask
255.255.255.0'.

The mask statement is not necessary in this case, I just always use it
for consistency. It is a personal preference. The mask statement is only
necessary for networks outside their classful boundary.

The other alternative is to include all of the loopbacks under the EIGRP
process and have them redistributed into BGP which you already have
setup, but currently you are only redistributing a single /24. If you
want them all to appear, you need to either enter them under the BGP
process with a network statement or redistribute them from EIGRP.

The route-map you have included in the configs looks like you are
planning on only advertising a subset of the more specific /24 routes.
You should look at the suppress-map option under the aggregate address
command as well as distribute list under the interface or neighbor
statement.

All three of these would accomplish the same result.

Subject: RE: IPX ID [7:53989]


I got the IPX network going between all routers, over frame relay etc
etc no
problem. On the frame-relay map statements (opposite sides) I mapped to
the
IPX/MAC address that the router had elected. Everything works, no
worries. I
am not doing anything different, all routers were running default IPX
RIP,
now disabled and all running IPX EIGRP.
I dont know why one router accepts a manual statement and another
decides it
has got its own agenda. I tried shutting down all interfaces, deleting
IPX
Routing and re entering a manual x.x.x. It remains stubborn.
I will spare you the configs, unless you wanna sift through trunks and
tunnels and exiting stuff like DLSW and a few of my improvized ISDN
configs.
When I started with the IPX early this evening I did not have much
config on
the routers anyway.

It is just a point of interest really, someone must know the answer.

OK,

A Question to ponder.

Can anyone think of a reason of why someone would NOT user dialer
interfaces, as apposed to using legacy DDR , beside IOS support, and the
political just because we want legacy DDR ?

I'm just trying to reason why someone would use legacy DDR and I can't
think
of a reason to use it. Is there some configuration that is only
supported by
legacy DDR commands?

Just a little late night pondering before bedtime...

RE: bandwidth allocation problem [7:51565]

2002-08-17 Thread Jim Brown

This is the whole concept behind frame relay. The provider oversubscribes
the network and this is your port speed, your CIR is the guaranteed amount
even during times of congestion. Airlines do the same thing, the sell more
seats on flights than they actually have. Welcome to oversubscription.

Take a look a CBWFQ, this might be a solution to your problem. Clients can
use all the bandwidth until the link reaches capacity, then bandwidth is
scaled back defined limits. Look for QOS mechanisms that only take affect
during congestion.

hi all 
i have doubt
 Suppose we have a leased line of 2MB bandwidth between say India and US.
The link is carrying more than 5 clients, using the concept of Multiplexer.
The question is if a client is allocated a bandwidth of 512k out of 2MB, is
it possible to use a part of the bandwidth which is allocated to client when
that client is not using the whole bandwidth. but this bandwidth adjustment
should not be known to the client. If the client's traffic reaches the whole
bandwidth, he should be given the whole bandwidth.
suppose client is using only 256k out of 512k which is allocated to him. is
it possible to allocate the remaining 256k to other purpose. if yes how can
it be done. once the client traffic reaches 512k, the bandwidth which was
taken from the client should be freed dynamically.

use the offset-list, under the router eigrp process. It is always good
practice to use the bandwidth statement for each sub-interface.

Is Catalyst 5000 with Supervisor 1 good enough for home lab purpose?


Justin C  wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Danie,

 I built my home lab entirely from Ebay.  There are some good vendors 
 on there, but the phrase buyer beware always comes to mind.  I 
 always look
at
 the sellers feedback, not just for positive ratings but to see if they
have
 sold equipment in the dollar value I am purchasing.  Look to see if 
 the seller has positive feedback on equipment in that price range.  
 The
sellers
 I can recommend (based on my own purchases and those of people I
personally
 know) are:

 networkhardwareresale - great packaging, good prices, quick shipment; 
 bluedesperateboy - good packaging, fair prices (little high, but top 
 notch equipment); ciscoware; www.whirled-routes.com; magi-tech; 
 snootfull; lskok

 If you look up their feedbacks, you will see the amount of business 
 they
do.
   If you are after good deals, be patient about purchasing and watch 
 for good products at good-to-fair prices.  It took me two months to 
 build my home lab (Catalyst 5000 w/ Sup 2, 2-2501, 2-2503, 1-2502, 
 1-2513, 1-4000M, 1-2620, 1-2522, 1-2511RJ, 2-2900 Cat switches, plus 
 all serial/ethernet
 cables) for around $9500.  All of it from Ebay, and all of it worked when
I
 received it.  Costly yes, but nothing beats continuous hands on 
 experience with the equipment for months (six so far) on end.  Plus, I 
 can configure almost anything I find in the CCNP and CCIE books I have 
 (save some Token Ring and ATM of course), which is nice when you have 
 questions about technologies and want to experiment to learn more 
 about them.  Personally,
I
 will rent rack time to get at the 3900/3920 switches and ATM
configurations.
   Also, I have not purchased from them, but Optsys.net has some pretty
good
 deals on 2501 and 2503 router packages.  I will be purchasing an ISDN 
 simulator from them later this month.

 As for the Catalyst 5000 switch, you can substitute a Catalyst 2901 or 
 a Catalyst 2926T (the T means 10/100T connections on the supervisor 
 module versus the 10/100 Fiber connections on the 2926F).  Search the 
 archives
for
 additional information on rack recommendations AND Ebay sellers to 
 steer clear of as the topic gets brought up at least once a month.

 Best of luck to you in your studies.

 My apologies to the group for any perceived waste of bandwidth on this
often
 discussed topic.  After reading about it for the past seven months, I 
 just wanted to drop my $.05 on the table.

I would bet my last dollar the original poster is referring to cRTP. This is
why I included it into the both ends category.

RTP as in Real Time Protocol?  It's not even a command.  It's a transport
layer addition to UDP.  You really can't tell a router to use RTP.  You can
tell it to do cRTP, or ip rtp priority.  cRTP is both ends, IP RTP priority
doesn't have to be.  But RTP isn't even a valid choice.

You can definitely install a DB60 upside down. I won't even say I've watched

lunch,S0 is down and down,a show controller  sees no cable . The rest of the
garbage raves on about about the DB60 being symmetrical and the cable was
installed upside down. Every DB 60 I have seen was NOT symmetrical and would
take some cutting with tin snips to install upside down.
 
The 12 secenario's I saw were really advanced CCNA not even CCNP level

RE: OSPF and The Disappearing Neighbor Statement [7:31656]

2002-01-13 Thread Jim Brown

I thought you only need the neighbor statement on one side of the
connection? 

Once a router accepts the hello, adjacencies are formed with information
from the hello via unicast communication from that point forward.

Sort of like if I shout over a hill, Hey Routerman are you there, this is
Jim. Then you would respond back to me by name.

I was able to reproduce your exact scenario.  I had a hub with two spokes
and the neighbor statements only appeared on the hub. This is very
interesting and I'm not sure what the reason behind it is.  I am glad that
this was brought up, because I would love to get to the bottom of this
situation.  I'll keep you posted John Neiberger  wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 The network statement definitely was there, but the neighbor 
 statements would only appear on the hub router.  Interestingly, I just 
 saw a sample configuration similar to this on CCO and they only had 
 the neighbor statement on one router, not both.  I think as long as 
 one router has a neighbor statement configured, the adjacency will 
 form assuming all other things being equal (network type, etc.)

 The adjacencies formed but I had to cycle the interfaces to get things
 started.   Even if the neighbor statement is only required on one side,
 I still don't understand why the router wouldn't let me add it.  The 
 adjacencies would eventually form, however, and routing occurred 
 exactly as I expected it.

 I did notice a minor issue with the neighbor statements on the hub.  I 
 had three of them, and one of them inserted 'priority 1' at the end, 
 yet the other two remained as I entered them.

  Router Man  1/11/02 3:08:03 PM 
 The only time that the neighbor statement will not show up in the 
 running-config, is if you do not have a network statement under the 
 router ospf process.  I am doubting that the neighbors formed an 
 adjacency without the neigbor or network statements showing up under 
 the ospf config.
 If the adjacency was actually formed, then it must be a bug.

 Another thing that I have noticed is than when trying to use the 
 neighbor statement to set the priority, neighbor 1.1.1.1 priority 
 255 the priority
 will change to something other than what I set it too.  It took me a
 while
 to figure this one out.   The problem is that I have to have matching
 ip
 ospf priority 255 statements under the interfaces running ospf .

  It was hot, too hot.  Our detective had been working feverishly to 
  configure OSPF over NBMA without the use of ip ospf network
 statements.
  He knew that to do this he must explicitly add neighbor statements
 or
  adjacencies would not form.
 
  He logs into the hub router and types in his three neighbor
 statements.
   All seems well.  It's still too hot, but it's a dry heat.
 
  He now logs into one of the spoke routers and types in his neighbor 
  statement.  He pauses momentarily and then checks the OSPF
 adjacencies.
  Something seems to be wrong, he thinks to himself.  This ought to be 
  working, but it isn't.  Why not?  He looks through the running 
  config
 to
  look for any errors and notices the the neighbor statement that he
 just
  entered is missing!
 
  He slowly and deliberately types it in again making sure there are
 no
  mistakes but yet it still does not show up in the running
 configuration.
   Is this an IOS issue?  Operator error?  Some rift in the space-time 
  continuum?
 
  He jumps to another spoke router running a different IOS and tries
 the
  same thing with the same result.  He is frantic now, beads of sweat 
  pouring down his face.  What if this were the real CCIE lab exam?
 Could
  this be a fatal stumbling block?
 
  He finally notices that adjacencies do eventually form after
 clearing
  the relevant interfaces.  This must be because the hub router
 accepted
  the neighbor statements.  But what if it hadn't, he ponders.  He
 thinks
  forward into the future when--a day after taking the lab exam--he 
  receives the dreaded email that says, We're sorry, it is apparent
 that
  you have no clue.
 
  Back to the real world
 
  What was the cause of the missing neighbor statements?  Have any of
 you
  run into this before?  I've never bothered to explicitly use
 neighbor
  statements as I'm in the habit of using the ip ospf network command
 to
  make them unnecessary.
 
  Any thoughts?

RE: BECN vs TCP congesttion control [7:31219]

2002-01-07 Thread Jim Brown

I think the reasoning is to prevent the transmission of traffic almost all
the way through the frame cloud only to have it dropped by the last telco
switch. With congestion notification you can shape the traffic for a more
even flow reducing packet loss and retransmission based on information from
the cloud.

If the traffic is traveling across the cloud only to be dropped at an
intermediate switch, it is still consuming valuable bandwidth.

Imagine one end with T1 access speed and the other end with a 64K port. The
T1 end will crush the line with everything it has only to have it dropped by
the last switch attached to the 64K port. Then the T1 end will cycle through
retransmission, and on, and on. You would waste a terrible amount of
bandwidth.

I understand that FR is multi-protocol, but I feel confident in saying that
most traffic is IP based.

With that out of the way, historically, why did the writers of frame-relay
include BECN as a method of congestion control when 1, it isn't end-to-end
as TCP is, and therefore not as good as TCP, and 2, not nearly as robust
and complex as TCP's tried and true methods of congestion control.

Is there another reason that I don't understand.

Priscilla,

No. Proxy ARP causes the router to generate ARP replies. It has no effect 
on ARP requests.

ARP requests are generated by normal ARP when a node tries to find the MAC 
address of another station. They are generated by end stations and by the 
router. The router has to find the MAC address just like any other station 
does.

He is sniffing on the broadband connection which presumably is shared by 
all hosts in his area (sometimes called a node in cable modem designs). 
He can see their ARPs and he can see the router's ARPs.

Proxy ARP allows devices to communicate with devices on the other side of 
the router without having to know that the router is there. In this case, 
end stations send ARP requests for local and non-local devices. For 
non-local addresses, the router responds with its own MAC address.

I have only done a cursory review, but from what I can tell their approach
is perfect. The author goes through each technology and explains it with as
few routers as necessary, then at the end are six full scale exam style
labs. Really concise material without all the fluff.

I haven't had the chance to check for errors, but I have a good feeling
about the quality of the material.

This is just what the doctor ordered for prep work.

As a gut check I looked up a couple of things that tripped me up on an exam
and sure enough there they were fully explained with descriptions and
configs.

In my opinion this book should increase the pass rate. This book is the list
of gothcas and how-to's I was creating myself, now it just has a pretty
cover.

Remember Cisco wants more people to pass the lab.

These are only my preliminary observations. Take a look at the book and
judge for yourself.

RE: Group Study LAB Board Question [7:28863]

2001-12-11 Thread Jim Brown

Join the board and use whatever date you feel comfortable with. As far as
the date is concerned, if you can leave on a weeks notice, there will be a
seat available.

Dates are always opening up. Just study with a March date in mind and you
should be able to grab one within two weeks of the test. I'm pretty certain
about this.

Look at the scheduler and you probably will see Jan dates open. If I
remember correctly Cisco testing is closed for testing from around the 20th
till the new year. This might affect the availability of Jan dates in
regards to my earlier statement.

Just keep an eye open study your buns off and you should be able to grab the
desired date as it approaches.

With a single redistribution point, split-horizon should handle the

In a production environment I might apply filtering just to be safe, but in

RE: eigrp and isdn routing question? [7:28219]

2001-12-05 Thread Jim Brown

If you deny EIGRP multicasts in the dialer-list it will prevent them from
initiating a call or keeping the line up. They will be uninteresting. and
will not cause the line to dial.

Once the line is up, all packets are fair game regardless of whether or not
they match the dialer-list. Any packet is passed over the ISDN circuit. The
dialer-list only signifies what traffic is interesting and will force a
call. 

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for. In other words, neighbors
would only be formed when the link was up due to some other traffic defined
interesting by the dialer-list. No more interesting traffic and the link
comes down, but EIGRP will not keep the circuit up or cause a call to be
initiated..

You should probably look at the dialer-watch command for dial backup over
EIGRP. I think dialer-watch might be just what the doctor ordered.

RE: Split Horizon and Frame [7:27679]

2001-11-29 Thread Jim Brown

The real kicker is you must disable EIGRP split horizon on the interface of
an NBMA network. If you disable it on the interface this will not work. You
must use the no ipx split-horizon EIGRP  command. The no ipx
split horizon command doesn't mean squat to EIGRP.

In an NBMA network, you should use EIGRP or create tunnels for RIP. Without
the ability to disable split-horizon for RIP you will never pass all the
routing information out to the spokes.

Of course all the rule about subinterfaces and such apply to split horizon.
Just keep the NBMA thing in mind when using physical or multipoint
interfaces.

For IPX RIP, it is my understanding that you can not turn off split horizon.

For IP on frame interfaces, split horizon is turned on automatically for

Question,

I have a network that is connected via frame relay.  Each site also has BRI
Lines setup from ISDN Dial-Backup.  

The backup interface BRI1/0 command is on the PVC Sub-Interface on each
router.  

Occasionally, we will have a problem with our PVC and it will still show up,
but we won't be able to route traffic over it.  

I'm trying to figure out a config so that if the traffic times out on the
serial interface, it will DDR on the BRI line.  The problem is, that with
the Backup Interface command, the BRI line goes into Administratively down
mode, so I don't think a floating static route will work.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you have the right attitude. Don't go in and think you are
going to fail, YOU CAN PASS on the first attempt. The exam is very doable
and is not overly tricky. A if I only had that first attempt back.

Stay calm and focused and try not to be freaked out on the first attempt. I
would probably say nerves cause more people to fail on their first attempt
than anything else. Don't be nervous, this is easier said than done.

REMEMBER THESE FEW THINGS:
1. It is only an exam and you can take it multiple times.
2. The proctors want you to pass and are there to clarify requirements and
issues with equipment.
3. ASK THE PROCTOR questions!
4. Look at the exam as a challenge which attempts to verify you understand
how the protocols and equipment work opposed to just knowing how to
configure them.

RE: isdn simulation [7:25713]

2001-11-08 Thread Jim Brown

There are three very popular simulators on the market.

The Adtran 550 or 800, Teltone, and Arca Emutel.

The Adtran is what is used in the CCIE lab and it is also the most
expensive. It is modular and very reliable. The Teltone and Arca have two
ports. I prefer the Arca because you can configure the ports as S/T or U.
This is something the other two can't do.

I've had an Arca and the Adtran and dollar for dollar I think the Arca is
the best product. It is limited to two ports, but for testing this is all
you should need. Firmware upgradeable and multiple switch type support.

They have a sales office in San Francisco and they are very responsive. It
will set you back $1500 - $2000 but you can resell it close to purchase
price when done. They hold their value pretty well.

called me the next day and said a reseller would
contact me in 5-10 days (5-10 minutes would make more

out online eval form again (I lost that rep's phone

nothing. 

My client is very unhappy so he decide to go with

couldn't handle or what? Anyway, Checkpoint lost my

I agree Checkpoint's support is terrible, and Cisco provides great support
for any of their products. I like Checkpoint because how flexible it is, the
features it provides and the great logging features of it. But it is very
expensive. Most of my clients run a PIX as a firewall, mainly because of the
price, but when my clients need to have a lot of functionality like multiple
vpns, e-mail stripping, etc, Checkpoint is the best for that (my biased
option. :) ). Although Checkpoint's support is terrible Nokia provides
excellent support for Checkpoint. If you buy a Checkpoint firewall, I highly
recommend running it on the Nokia IP platform because of how easy it is to
set up and Nokia's support is great. They know more about Checkpoint than
Checkpoints engineers do. Every time I have called Nokia, an engineer was on
the phone resolving my issue in about 60 secs. Not only that but they are
friendly too (something you don't see often.).

Good.. but you can't have a subnet with 31 bits that would 
leave 2 hosts and the network address and the broadcast would use 
them up, so you end up with 0 hosts per subnet.  For point-to-point 
serial links, you'd usually use a /30 (255.255.255.252) which gives you 
4 addresses per subnet (1 network, 1 broadcast, and two hosts)

Mike W.

Mike, your answer has been correct for a long time.  However, let me 
cite a recent RFC with a lead author from Cisco:

3021 Using 31-Bit Prefixes on IPv4 Point-to-Point Links. A. Retana, R.
  White, V. Fuller, D. McPherson. December 2000.

I believe some recent IOS versions, primarily intended for carriers, 
will support /31 on point-to-point media.

Hi everyone,

I was troubleshooting a DDR Backup with ISDN line, here is what happened.
Location 1 was setup to initiate the call, Location 2 to accept it . (I went
trough the config n+1 times).
The connection was never established. I set up the syslog server and
debugging of Q931.
Here is the excerpt out of the syslog.




DISCONNECT pd = 8  callref = 0xC9
Cause i = 0x81D8 - Incompatible destination
 Signal i = 0x03 - Network congestion tone on


I put 1 in front of the dial string xxx-xxx-, and it changed to the
following.

DISCONNECT pd = 8  callref = 0xF4
Cause i = 0x82A2 - No channel available
Signal i = 0x03 - Network congestion tone on



DISCONNECT pd = 8  callref = 0xA2
Cause i = 0x80C1 - Bearer capability not implemented
 Signal i = 0x03 - Network congestion tone on


Than I reversed the configuration-Location 2 calling Location 1 - It was
working just the way it supposed to.

I am not an ISDN specialist,so can someone tell me, what my problem with the
first setup was?

Many Thanks,
Michael

Congratulations!!  That's very cool!

As far as the lab, last time I checked CCO stated that any labs
scheduled after Sep. 1 would be the one-day lab.  If that's still the
case, then you're stuck with the new lab.  It may have changed, though. 
Check out CCO to find the details.

Thanks to all who responded to my question regarding time pressure and
the
written... I passed with a score of 85%!!! What a relief. When I got
home
with my registration number in hand I went to the Cisco web site and
tried
to register for the lab. Too soon, the error message says it will take
3 to
5 days for my results to make it to the registration database...;-(  I
want
to see if I have a choice of a one day or two day lab date, anyone
know?

BTW I could go back to review my answers! I marked six that I guessed
at and
at the end of the exam I still didn't know them, not much help for me.
Thanks again,

If the question were worded, In OSPF, the DR is chosen with, I might agree
with the Boson answer, but it seems incorrect with the question stated as
such.

It is fairly ambiguous, but I wouldn't worry about it. You obviously
understand the concept and that is what is really important. I wouldn't

RE: ip ospf network [7:16589]

2001-08-20 Thread Jim Brown

The network types must match so the OSPF timers will match and the routers
will form neighbor adjacencies.

There are different reasons why you would want to use each network type, but
the important thing is they all match, or more correctly the timers all
match.

If routers are not neighbors they will not exchange routing information,
breaking the routing process.

In your situation you could make them all point-to-multipoint, broadcast, or
non-broadcast.

look at it from this perspective:
with an external CSU/DSU you will have two possible point of failure: the

something happens on that link, it is easier to troubleshoot the problem on
the wic-1dsu-t1.
The problem with this card is that you can't split voice and data, not can

RE: AGS+ crossed over to 2610, Serial cable length issue? [7:10812]

Subject: AGS+ crossed over to 2610, Serial cable length issue? [7:10810]


I've finally decided to sit down and try to troubleshoot what I thought
was a faulty serial port on my AGS+.

I have a 2610 with a WIC-2T connected to my AGS+ via a CAB-SS-V35MT and
a CAB-VCF. The CAB-VCF is from pacific cables and is a 26pin DCE to a
V.35 winchester cable. The CAB-VCF is 6 feet long and the CAB-SS-V35MT
is 10 feet long; so I have a 16 foot crosover cable.

When I cable the two routers together and just configure a simple point
to point connection, with the following config:

AGS+
int s2
ip address 100.100.100.1 255.255.255.252
encap ppp
no shut

2610
int s0/0
ip address 100.100.100.2 255.255.255.252
encap ppp
no shut

The serial interfacces come up/up but then after a second or two line
protocol goes down on both sides and they become up/down.

I thought the AGS+'s serial interface was bad (I had a bad applique a
while back). So I moved to a different interface on the AGS+, same
situation.

I then decided to try a different router, I replaced the AGS+ with a
CGS, and I got the same results.

I now think the issue is with the cable. a) I could have a bad cable. b)
the cable I have could be two long.  I have replaced the CAB-SS-V35MT,
with no luck. What kind of issues would I see if the cable was too long?
Would I see the issue I am experiencing? I'm getting ready to call
Pacific Cable and order another CAB-VCF.

I passed CCNA yesterday with a 946/1000(there is no integer divisible by 65

doing well throughout the exam yet I got a good score. When it started, I
was  told that you need 849/1000 based on a score that ranges between 300
and 1000. So is this graded on a curve? If I got 3 wrong would my score be
62/65= 954/1000? I don't think it works that way. I overstudied thinking I
needed at least 55/65 to pass but I do not think this was the case. Why
would they grade on a curve? If you can't answer 85% of the questions I
think you should fail.  Are the CCNP exams graded on this weird scale and as
easy to pass as well? I recieved my MCSE a few months ago and honestly think
the scenario questions on  those test were harder than any of the questions
on th CCNA.Coming from a Computer Science background at Rutgers, I can
guarantee the midterms and finals on my networking courses there were 100
times more challenging than these exams.I barely needed a pen and paper
throughout the whole CCNA.

 Anyway before I digress any further I just wanted to know how the grading
worked on the CCNP and the scores required to pass.

RE: Cisco PIX vs Checkpoint FIrewall-1 [7:2878]

2001-05-04 Thread Jim Brown

On the flushing noise. It sounds more like job security to me! Which is
better, to have an effective, understandable security policy that is easily
managed through a GUI, or a complex command line driven attempt at a
security policy. The job security is in not making stupid mistakes in policy
design/implementation. An incident or compromise related to a stupid policy
mistake is the quickest way out the door.

As far as the PIX GUI is concerned, I was privileged enough to take a look
at a beta of it a month ago. It is strikingly similar in layout to the
CheckPoint GUI. It is definitely a step in the right direction. Had Cisco
been more generous on trade-in values I would be the latest convert to the
PIX cult.

CheckPoint's biggest downfall is support. It downright stinks. If anything
can topple them from their perch support will be it. There is no TAC to call
and get a person who can answer your question. The top support people are in
friggin'' Israel working 9-5 hours for god's sake. You do the math and
timezone conversion.

They are both great products, but when someone starts saying one is more
secure than the other, hold on!

A couple parting questions for stimulating conversation

Can you manage and install policy to multiple PIX firewalls simultaneously?
(With a $15K add-on)

How often do your throughput needs exceed the ~80Mb threshold of CheckPoint?

Who has 52% market share?

 I don't think it is security holes at a lower layer.  Checkpoint installs
 what they call a shiv between the network and data link layer to protect
the
 IP stack.  And if you were to take advantage of OS security flaws you
would
 be doing it at the Session Layer and above, not the lower layers.


 About five years ago it used to be the case the application based
firewalls
 did not protect the network as well as packet filtering.  But that was
 because people didn't really understand what a firewall was. Most people
 considered a proxy server as a sort of firewall.

 I remember a client telling me they were protected because they used
 reserved ip address and M$ proxy.  In fact at the time M$ was marketing
 their proxy server as a poormans firewall.

 But today firewalls protect the IP stack.  And most people know that a
proxy
 is not a firewall.  So this hardware based is better than software based
 stuff does not ring true.

 When someone asks me which is better Pix or Checkpoint, I tell them it
 depends. I can find you studies that says Pix has better throughput than
 Checkpoint and vise versa.

 The real difference between them is that Checkpoint has a gui interface
and
 Pix has the o'l command line.  You can pretty much do the same thing with
 them, so what it comes down to is what are you or your staff more
 comfortable configuring.  Are you a cisco shop, buy the pix, are you an
 NT/Unix shop, buy Checkpoint.  Beyond that it is all marketing semantics.

 In fact I have heard, but not seen, that their is a new gui interface for
 the Pix.  Anyone used it lately?

 I haven't had time to work with it, since I'm preparing for this little
know
 lab called CCIE or something like that.  What's an IGP? (oh my brain is
 starting to hurt...)

 Checkpoint (or other SW) can do higher layer protection but may not be as
 well at the lower layers (due to security holes in the OS, etc)

RE: ISDN BRI up but does not ping [7:2712]

2001-05-01 Thread Jim Brown

I scanned the message and noticed the configs at the bottom.

You only applied a dialer-group on the dialing end. My testing and
observation determined that you need a dialer-group statement on the remote
end also.

If you do not define any interesting traffic for the remote end it will not
send any packets back to the host that initiated the call.

I always assumed you only needed to define interesting traffic to initiate a
call, so why would I need the dialer-group statement on the remote end?

When initially goofing around with ISDN I noticed this behavior. I could not
find it documented anywhere. I just assumed if the connection is up why do I
need to define interesting traffic for the remote end. This drove me crazy
for a few hours.

List, please correct me if I'm crazy. I noticed this behavior with 12.0 IOS.

Hi, Shoaib.

First of all, you have to check if the ping packet is ever received by
the remote end, is it possible to debug ip packet at the remote end?
If it's not possible, check it at the center site with this.

access-list 110 permit ip 130.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 130.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
debug ip packet detail 110

If it's ever really sent to the remote end, then check if your isdn
interface of the remote end has any access-lists configured, which may
block return ping(echo reply) or any policy routing on that matter.

From your post, I have found nothing wrong with ISDN configuration.
But one thing is missing at the remote end, you have to add
dialer-group command to reset idle timer when interesting packets are
passed. But I guess this is not directly related to your current
problem.

Please let me know how you solved the problem, if it's done.

Regards,
Jaeheon

I've been messing with a 2600 with an NM1E2W running 12.1(5)T
I put a WIC1T in to slot W0, so this understandably became Serial 1/0.
Powered down, removed WIC1T and restarted then WR MEM so any config for
S1/0
is gone.
Powered down. Inserted WIC1T into slot W1.
This also came up as S1/0 as opposed to what I would have expected
(S1/1).
I had successful connections on S1/0 while WIC1T was in either slot.

I'd be interested to see what happens with two WIC1T's in but had to
get the
router on line before I could get hold of another WIC1T.

Anyone know the reason for this?

John's right on track here.  When using the /19 notation with 172.16.0.0, 
you're referring to that specific network.  172.16.0.0/19 is not the same 
network as 172.16.64.0/19.
Reading this question a little bit differently, I can see that perhaps 
there is a typo...if the question used a /18 instead of a /19, then answer 
"A" would be correct.
If you want to make answer "D" correct, you either need to rephrase the 
question to "Which one is a valid host using 172.16.64.0/19?" or rephrase 
the question to "Which one is a valid host using 172.16.0.0/17?", which 
would allow for ALL of the answers to be correct.

At 10:13 AM 3/15/2001 -0700, you wrote:
I disagree.  Valid hosts in 172.16.0.0/19 are:

172.16.0.1 through 172.16.31.255

I guarantee you that any other interpretation will make life miserable
for you eventually, especially in a production environment where you
actually use CIDR or VLSM.  A good example would be if you were running
BGP in a production environment that actually connected to the internet.


Let's say you were Joe's ISP and were assigned 172.16.0.0/19.  This is
*very* specific...you can only advertise 172.16.0.1 through
172.16.31.254.  Most likely, 172.16.32.1 through 172.16.63.254 is going
to be assigned to someone else.  If you followed your logic and
advertise the entire 172.16.0.0/16, you will be getting some nasty phone
calls or nastygrams in your email box.  Companies tend to get a little
upset with you if you start advertising their address block.

In that spirit, I assume when a test question says something as
specific as 172.16.0.0/19 that they *really* mean it.

I think I'll side with those who say there is no correct answer, but
there is an answer that's closer to being correct than the others.
:-)

The question is asking for a valid host in the 172.16.0.0/19 range.
Answer D is not in that range!  It is in the 172.16.64.0/19 network.
Valid host addresses in the 172.16.0.0/19 range are:

172.16.0.1 through 172.16.31.254

I would agree that by making a subtle adjustment to the question,
answer D is the only answer possible.  Given a /19 prefix length, the
only possible host address given in the answers is D, which forces us
to
change the question to fit the answer.

This just appears to be a poorly worded question that not only allows
you to figure out the most-correct answer eventually but also forces
you
to deduce what the actual question is in the first place.  g  In
other
words, it's a typical Cisco test question!

RE: ISDN Simulator

2001-03-15 Thread Jim Brown

What you have here is a contradiction in terms. There are no cheap
simulators. Black Box sells a simulator that I know nothing about, but they
do offer 20% for you first purchase. This brings the price down around $1700
I think.

If you check the archives, there is mention of a company in Dallas that
resells the every popular Teltone. This is supposed to be one of the cheaper
outlets to purchase this simulator.

I chose the Emutel because of the software reconfiguration of the ports
between S/T and U. I don't think the Teltone does that. The Emutel also is
completely configurable with respect to numbers and such. I think the
Teltone is a fixed number configuration. I'm sure someone will correct me if
I'm wrong. The Emutel is around $2000 and you can purchase them from a
company in San Francisco.

And then there is the Adtran Atlas 550, with modules it is more expensive
than any of the above, but leaves you with unlimited configurations for your
lab. When its time to do PRI, T1, etc. this unit is your man for the job.

After successful completion of the CCIE written exam, is there a time limit
as to when you must take the CCIE lab.  Thanks!

Sorry for posting this here, but I thought is semi-appropriate. This is gear
for my home lab.

I'm looking for an Ethernet module for a 2600 series router and I think this
is the only one that is supported.

I have checked E-bay for a while and there are none to be found.

Can anyone help me out, retail hurts!
