RE: ip multicast [7:60813]

2003-01-13 Thread John Humphrey
239.0.0.0 thru 239.255.255.255 make up the multicast limited scope
(224.0.0.1-238.255.255.255 are classified as globally scoped meaning that
these are taken up by various protocols/applications). As far as I know,
there is no CIDR/subnet mask notation for addresses in the Class D space.
You can assign the limited scope mulitcast group addresses at your own
discretion (similar to RFC 1918 IP addresses). Remember, the Class D address
is assigned to the group and the multicast PIM will allow unicast to
muticast address mapping.

RE: QoS suggestion [7:60994]

2003-01-14 Thread John Humphrey
You've got a few options. The most basic (and most limited) is using IP RTP
Priority. The will prioritize all RTP traffic on the applied interface. The
best solution (IMHO) is to use LLQ. Low Latency Queueing can be thought of
as CB-WFQ with the added benefit of a priority queue. This is probably what
you want to do. Create a class-map (or map-class if it's a frame relay
interface) and apply the voice traffic to the priority queue with the
"priority" command, and then assign all your other traffic to a "fair
queue". CB-WFQ does provide minimum bandwidth guarantee but  it does not
give you the priority queue that voice traffic likes so much. Hope this helps.

RE: QoS suggestion [7:60994]

2003-01-14 Thread John Humphrey
forgot to add one thing you probably already know this but  if you
decide to use LLQ for a PPP serial connection (like a t1 or frac t1) you
will want to implement LFI (link fragmentation and interleave). this means
that your config will be implemented on a "multilink1" interface rather than
a physical interface. LFI allows you circumvent excessive serialization
delays on slow WAN connections. This does not apply to frame relay
interfaces. Cisco has some really good docs on this topic. Let me know if
you would like more info. Hope this helps

RE: QoS suggestion [7:60994]

2003-01-14 Thread John Humphrey
i don't see any obvious problems with your configuration. I can, however,
offer a couple of troubleshooting tips. I would start by checking out the
access list ("show access-list") to make sure you have packets that qualify.
Second (and this is where I think your problem is), I would lose the
"match-all" in your class-map. Since you're only searching one criterion,
there's no need for the match-all (which is the default match clause
anyways). Here's a quote from Cisco's web site to confirm:

"The match all and match any options need to be specified only if more than
one match criterion is configured in the traffic class. The class-map
match-all command is used when all of the match criteria in the traffic
class must be met in order for a packet to match the specified traffic
class. The class-map match-any command is used when only one of the match
criterion in the traffic class must be met in order for a packet to match
the specified traffic class. If neither the match-all nor match-any keyword
is specified, the traffic class will behave in a manner consistent with
class-map match-all command"

Let me know what you find out. Hope this helps

Bridging and STP issue [7:61031]

2003-01-14 Thread John Humphrey
Does anyone know which version of IEEE STP bridge-groups use? Switches use
the PVST+ (one spanning tree per vlan). However, I can't determine if router
bridge-groups use PVST+ or the IEEE standard CST (one spanning tree instance
for all vlans). Here's my delimna: I've got a 4006 (Sup II) with a Layer 3
(WS-X4232-L3) module. I want to implement bridging on the subinterfaces on
the routing engine. The subinterfaces are running dot1q encap. for
inter-vlan routing (similar to how the 2600 series implements inter-vlan
routing). Anyway, I want to bridge IPX between two vlans while routing IP
(CRB will do this just fine, I don't need a BVI with IRB). My only concern
is having the bridges STP calculation interfere with my other Catalyst STP
instances. Any thoughts?

RE: CCIE Written Study Material [7:61026]

2003-01-14 Thread John Humphrey
I highly recommend Bruce Caslow's "Bridges, Routers & Switches for CCIEs".
This book is the best I've seen. I've also heard good things about "Internet
Routing Architectures" and "Routing TCP/IP" by Jeff Doyle. Hope this helps
and GOOD LUCK on your studies.

RE: Traffic Shaping and LLQ on MSFC's and RSM's [7:61575]

2003-01-22 Thread John Humphrey
I've encountered this issue in our production environment with policy-maps.
Here's the answer Cisco's TAC gave me. Since the msfc interfaces are
software based, the MLS engine will bypass the route processor on most of
your layer 3 packets. This prevents the shaping/policing policy from being
applied on all egress traffic. You can, however, successfully apply the
policies to all ingress traffic because it must travel thru the Layer 3
process before it is sent to the destination node. So, if you're applying a
service-policy to a msfc interface it must be applied with "input" as the
direction. I'm not sure what effect disabling MLS would have on this process
but I'm sure the benefits (if there would be any) would not be worth it. You
can however use QoS policies on the layer 2 modules with acl mapping to
achieve much of the same benefits.

Re: bandwidth problem on cisco routers!!! [7:61556]

2003-01-22 Thread John Humphrey
In my humble opinion, cef should not interfere with any of your qos commands
(if anything it helps). As a matter of fact CEF is required when using
certain types of class/policy maps. It sounds to me like custom queuing
would better suit your needs. You probably already know this but custom
queuing allows you to divide bandwidth among different protocols/hosts/etc.
The great thing with CQ is that bandwidth not used in one queue becomes
available to other queues. I know it's frustrating when this stuff doesn't
work the way we think it should, but I've never seen a routing/switching
platform that outperform or outscale Cisco gear.

Good CCIE Written web reference [7:61698]

2003-01-25 Thread John Humphrey
Anybody recommend a good web reference for the 350-001 test? I've read
multiple manuals and taken a number of the Boson practice tests, but I still
feel a little under-prepared. Any recommendations would be appreciated
(especially from someone who has passed the exam).
