Re: Verizon Contact [7:52220]

Erich,

Try the below link.  About one-third of the way down the webpage, there are 
multiple articles involving the setup of the DSL WIC.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/794/index.shtml

Once you have an understanding of the what information is required to setup 
the DSL WIC, you will have to work with Verizon to obtain the information 
(Dynamic or Static IP, VCI/VPI settings, encapsulation).

Re: pix question [7:45639]

2002-06-03 Thread Justin C

Anthony,

From what I read in your post:

Cable Modem Inside - 172.16.1.1/16
Pix Outside -172.16.1.1/16 (you have 172.161.1.1/16 below)
Pix Inside - 10.1.1.1/24
default route: in your post route outside 0 0 172.16.1.2
   what it should be route outside 0 0 172.16.1.1
   this is based on the above information

With the above configuration to be correct and the route outside statement 
changed, try to ping your cable modem from the pix.  If this works, then 
move on to getting from the inside of your pix to the outside.

Hi all,
I appreciate any feedback to my question:
I am setting up a lab environment and intially trying to configure a router 
and a pix behind it.  my router's outside interface is connected to a cable 
modem and have a live ip address assigned to it.
cable modempix inside hosts.

the router's inside interface has a private ip add.  of 172.16.1.1 /24 and 
the pix' outside interface is 172.161.1.2 /24.  the inside interface of the 
pix has an ip address of 10.1.1.1 /24 and all inside hosts have that as the 
default gateway.  securities are set up correctly on the inside and outside 
interfaces.  I am using a global pat address, different from the one on the 
router's interface connected to the cable modem (no statics going on in the 
pix).  i am unable to
reach the internet even when I use the statement: conduit permit ip any 
any  and no packets are able to reach the 172.16.1.0 network from the 
inside hosts not even the 172.16.1.2 address which belongs to the
pix's outside interface.  I have a route outside 0 0 172.16.1.2 statement 
as well.  from the router I can ping inside hosts, with the
correct route statement.

hope this is enough information. please help!

Pix 501, DNS, and solution [7:45671]

2002-06-03 Thread Justin C

To all,

I had a lot of fun with a Pix 501 in the month of March/April.  After a few 
posts here and working with the suggestions received, the problem was 
narrowed down to the following:

- Initial configuration of Pix, using DHCP on the inside and outside 
interfaces.
- Pix software version 6.1
- I could telnet, send receive email using Outlook, ssh, etc through the 
Pix.
- I could NOT browse the web.
- Use of static IP addressing did not resolve the problem.
- Even TAC was puzzled by the problem, and they accessed the Pix remotely to 
check the settings.

It was discovered that I could browse the web, so long as I typed in the IP 
address.  DNS replies were not getting through the Pix to my PC.  I had/have 
only two PCs behind the Pix, and no MS DNS servers are being used.  
Eventually, I found two fixes for this problem:

1  Give the Pix a domain setting.  This can be done either in the PDM or 
using the dhcpd domain domain name command.

2  I was able to bypass entering the domain name in the DNS suffix for 
this connection for TCP/IP properties in Win2K.  This is located under the 
DNS settings in the Advanced properties.

I hope this post helps others who hit this problem and cannot find a problem 
with their settings.  Looking back, this may or may not be an issue with 
larger networks that use DHCP to obtain network settings.  I was testing the 
unit before deploying it to a remote office.

My thanks to Ole, Mark, Craig, Gaz, Richard, Kent, Lydia, and Leonard for 
their input.

Justin

DNS and Pix ... very wierd problem [7:40387]

2002-04-03 Thread Justin C

Group,

The Pix 501 is running the default NAT/PAT configuration.  Through it, I can 
check email using Outlook to talk to an Exchange Server, telnet and SSH to 
devices, and browse the web provided I type in the ip address of the web 
server.  All requests for URL translation by a DNS server fail.  The IP 
configuration (addresses, gateways, DNS servers) are correct.  The Pix is 
direct to the cloud with only one PC behind it.

Using Debug Packet, I have confirmed that requests for DNS translations go 
out and come back to the Pix (on the outside interface), but they do not 
seem to make it back to the host that originated the request.  The code is 
6.1(1), and I have contacted TAC.  With SSH, TAC has inspected the box and 
cannot see a problem with the configuration.  Nor can they explain why this 
is occuring.  Before sending it back to Cisco for a replacement, I thought I 
would ask here to see if anyone has run across this.

There are no access-lists or conduit statements, but Cisco (the Pix 
literature) and Cisco Press (Cisco Secure PIX Firewalls) say that they are 
unnecessary for this very simple setup.

My thanks in advance for your time and input.

Regards,

Justin

RE: Question on PIX 501 [7:38246]

2002-03-14 Thread Justin C

Mark,

My original question that I sent to the group somehow got lost.  Ole was 
kind enough to respond to a direct query regarding to some fun I am having 
with installing a Pix (501) for the first time.  My firewall background is 
SonicWall and Watchguard, both are very simple in configuration and work 
directly out of the box.

I was under the impression it was pretty much plug and play, so I decided to 
test it by putting it between my PC and the rest of the LAN.  However, after 
the initial setup, the Pix passed no information through it.  So I went to a 
ping to start the troubleshooting.  The curious (to me) issue was that from 
the console or the PDM of the Pix I can ping network addresses on both sides 
of the Pix.  From the inside of the Pix, I cannot ping (or browse the web) 
through the Pix.  I cannot even ping the outside interface of the Pix from 
the inside interface.  The specific question is this ... is additional 
configuration of the Pix required to permit access from the inside interface 
to the outside interface and beyond?

To expand on the topic you and Ole are discussing, is the use of the 
conduits (or access-lists) required for each and every type of service I 
want to send from the inside to the outside?  I have no problem researching 
the commands to learn how it is done, I just want to make certain I am on 
the right path.

Thanks,

Justin

Forgive me for not reading the book yet, as I've been quite busy too
... but, I have a question in regards to the config line you gave.

I've used the PDM so far to most of the configuration of my PIX, and it
creates access-lists rather than conduits.  I know from others I've talked
with, that Cisco is moving from conduits to access-lists on the PIX
configs... this is the question

I configure to allow ICMP any(Outside) any(Inside) = Echo Reply
   ICMP any(Outside) any(Inside) = Time Exceeded
   ICMP any(Outside) any(Inside) = Unreachable

Does this do the same thing as what you were saying about conduit permit
any any X??

I think it does, but just want to make sure that I haven't opened up ICMP
completely with it being initiated from the outside.

Thanks!
Mark

Hi Justin,

When you ping, you use the ICMP protocol.

When A pings B, A sends ICMP echo-request (number 8) to B, and B sends ICMP
echo-reply (number 0) back to A.

The PIX does not allow ICMP traffic to come from the outside to the inside,
so to change that, you will need to open up for ICMP number 0 (echo-reply).

The command for that is:

conduit permit icmp any any 0

This is a good way to do it, because then you allow outside devices to reply
to your request, but they are not allowed to do a PING themself. If you want
PING to work both ways, simply use this command:

conduit permit icmp any any

Hth,

Ole

Re: SOHO vpn making connection VERY VERY slow.- OFF TOPIC [7:37492]

2002-03-06 Thread Justin C

Jerry,

Check the code revisions on your Watchguard products.  The SOHO units are 
specified by Watchguard at 500Kbits/sec of 3DES throughput.  See if 
Watchguard support has anything to say with a specific question about that.  
Sometimes Watchguard is really on the stick.  Sometimes they aren't.

I will check my connection between my home (cable modem 384k-up/1900k-down) 
and the main office (T1) for bandwdith and let you know what I get.

I would imagine that ISP hardware could be a limiting factor here, but I 
could be wrong.  I am curious to know myself, so I will search the archives 
later tonight.  In the mean time, someone from the group who is feeling a 
little generous with their time may have some additional insight on this.  A 
few questions for the more knowledgeable out there:

Can ISP equipment have an impact on VPN throughput?
Could packet size impact throughput (500 byte versus 1500 byte)?  This 
question might be a good one for Watchguard as well.
Any other considerations?  (nothing too lengthy, just a few quick answers 
for further investigation later)

My thanks in advance your time with these questions.

Justin

Re: CCIE Starter amp; Lab Equipment [7:37312]

2002-03-05 Thread Justin C

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.

Re: Anyone Higher? - FR Uptime [7:30920]

2002-01-04 Thread Justin C

Our main facility (Los Angeles) has a T1 FR with Pacbell (SBC).  In the 
seven months I have been running the the IT department, I have seen the T1 
go down twice.  Once was due to the re-routing of the phone lines that come 
into the building.  The building is 70 years old, and the lines used to come 
in underground and now come in above ground.  This was done in June, and I 
can see how this would cause some grief.  The second time was in November, 
and SBC admitted the problem but gave no reasons.  Service was unavailable 
for one hour.

One of our remote sites (Cincinnati) had a 128K FR with Williams 
Communications.  This was installed before I was responsible for network.  
Other than the initial startup problems (which I was told lasted about four 
months), the line seemed to run flawlessly.  The connection between the two 
offices was run on the private SBC backbone ... I.E. - the Cincinnati 
traffic to the Internet ran through our T1 line here LA, then back out the 
same T1 line to the Internet.  It was pretty ugly.  Even worse than that, 
the cost of the 128K FR from Williams was almost equal to the T1 line from 
SBC.  I switched this remote site to DSL from Cincinnati Bell, and connect 
to the main site through a VPN.  They get 560kB/s down and 350kB/s up.  As 
they have nothing that is mission critical and the company will never cough 
out for VoIP, it is perfect for them.  Over the course of six months, the 
DSL service was unavailable once, and was restored within an hour.  The 
biggest delta is the price.

While I am on the subject, you may enjoy a good laugh.  This company is 
privately owned, and had a teletype until 1995.  They only got rid of it 
because Pacbell said it was no longer supported.  Email was not implemented 
until the Summer of 1999.

During the years I have been administering frame relay, I have been dealing
with four different providers and four different telco's, but I have so far
not seen any circuit being up for a long time without problems.

I believe that the longest I have seen a f.r. circuit being up is about a
little less the half a year, and one of our providers had an average of
downing one of our circuit every 1.5 months.

We have four circuits (three branch offices and one corp.) with a provider,
and all three branch offices has now been down once (at different dates) in
less than four months.

So, I am looking for a possitive story in the Frame Relay world. Who can
with a smile tell me about a frame relay connection that has been up for a
year or more - or would that be totally sci-fi???

I am getting SO frustrated and irritated that I have to deal with so
much trouble with simple WAN connections.

Re: monitoring activity on watchgaurd firebox and soho [7:29499]

2001-12-18 Thread Justin C

Beth,

If you have a Firebox (not a SOHO), you can use the Host Watch feature of 
the Watchguard Live Security System (LSS) to monitor all connections through 
the Firebox live.  It will display the source/destination IP address as well 
as the destination port.  Give the Firebox a minute to catch up on DNS 
resolution, and it will resolve outside IP addresses to their names and 
display them as well.

In addition to that, you can always log the activity to a Syslog server.  
The Firebox/LSS system will allow you to log based on port activity as well. 
  This would allow you to log any activity going out the Firebox on ports 
6699 (Napster) and 5050 (Yahoo Messenger).  While you are including Yahoo 
Messenger, you may want to look at Instant Messenger on port 5190 as well.

The next question you have to ask, is if there is activity, what if anything 
will be done about it.  That seems like a question best directed to your 
companies management, so that it can be included in the corporate security 
policy.  Also, be mindful if these connections are going through any kind of 
proxy server.  You will want to understand the flow of this information 
through your network so that you can present all available options to 
management should they decide to curtail these programs.

Good luck,

Justin

Well as it would turn out it's my turn to write that awesome email...  I 
just got back from RTP today where after checking my email, I was awarded 
CCIE#8387. What a journey/process this has been and I must say that I'm 
relieved that it's now over.  After countless hours of study and practicing 
on the rack the reward was most definitely worth the sacrifice.

I didn't sleep a any last night as I awaited the results of my lab score
which I was unable to check until 12 noon today. So on that note I'm off to 
catch up on the sleep that escaped me last night.

More to follow once I get rested up..

Re: Cisco Users Group in LA [7:25003]

Group,

I have searched for a Cisco Users Group in the LA/Orange areas online, but 
have yet to find anything.  This thread leads me to believe that there is 
one.  How would one go about joining?

Regards,

Justin Cluer

Re: OFF TOPIC - watchgaurd win2k problem - NEED HELP [7:23544]

2001-10-19 Thread Justin C

Jerry,

I have yet to send anything to the group, so I hope this comes through.

When using Win2K with the Watchguard, there are few things to be mindful of.

1 - If you have not already, upgrade to version 4.61 of the Watchguard Live 
Security System (LSS).  For those of you who do not know and are interested, 
LSS is the control center for the Watchguard product which runs on a PC.

2 - Upgrade your SOHO units to the latest firmware.

3 - Whatever box is running the LSS needs to be running Win2K SP2.  This is 
not an option.

Personally, when I moved our DC's to Win2K, I reestablished the VPN's to 
three remote sites from the ground up.  While it seems to be the long way 
around the problem, it worked without any noticible problems.  Are you using 
their VPN manager?  The VPN setup I have is relatively small, but I am told 
it works rather well even with high numbers of SOHO units and VPN Clients.

Finally, if their support group is dragging their heels, call your area 
sales rep.  Mine was extremely helpful in obtaining immediate help from 
tech-support.  In addition, the sales rep might be able to point you to 
another Watchguard customer who can provide some additional insight.

Regards,

Justin Cluer
