Subject: OT: WAN degree?


Hello,

 I am currently a MCSE/CCNA and I am finishing up my AA degree at the
local junior college, and looking to start my 3rd year in the fall.  Are
there any colleges that offer a Bachelor's degree in networking?  I have
visited several college websites and it seems that they all offer just
Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Management Information Systems
degrees. After reviewing the individual coarse outlines, there appears to be
very few classes relating to networking.  If anyone can offer there advise
on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it!

RE: Physical Difference Between RJ45 and RJ48

2001-01-13 Thread Ken Chipps

To Daniel

Yes, from further research I believe it does have more to do the way the
connector is wired and then used rather than the physical shape and size of
the connector.

To Howard
When I saw it in the CFR, I thought that it must relate back to the
Carterphone decision and all of the deregulation, but what a strange place
to find telecommunications connector specifications.

Subject: RE: Physical Difference Between RJ45 and RJ48


RJ-48 is similar to RJ-45 except that it has a key on the side of the jack.
A RJ-45 plug would fit a RJ-48 jack but a RJ-48 plug would not fit a RJ-45
jack. See the following for a physical view of a keyed plug.
http://catalog.tycoelectronics.com/AMP/docs/pdf/6/39/195936.pdf

Just checked out an Atran CSU/DSU. Its Network (T-1) jack is referred to as
an (USOC)RJ-48C. AMP#555164-2. It is keyed.

Having said that, I seem to remember a similar discussion some while back
where it was said that the RJ specs referred to usage rather than physical
characteristics.

RE: Type 1 to RJ45 TR Cables

2001-01-22 Thread Ken Chipps

These things are called media filters. You need one that goes from a data
connector to RJ45 connector. This sort plugs into the MAU. There is another
type that plugs into the DB9 connector on the NIC. I looked around for you,
but could only find the ones that go on the NIC, not any that go on the MAU.
We will be ordering some of these in the next few days. Email me offline at

Which Ethernet Frame Does Everyone Use [7:6179]

2001-05-28 Thread Ken Chipps

I am confused about which Ethernet frame type everyone uses with TCP/IP
today. I understand that there are four different types. I see from the
Cisco website that they talk about only two of these four. The two they
discuss are called Ethernet and IEEE 802.3. The one Cisco calls Ethernet has
the following fields

Preamble
Destination Address
Source Address
Type
Data
CRC

The one Cisco calls IEEE 802.3 has

Preamble
Start Frame Delimiter
Destination Address
Source Address
Length
Data and 802.2 Header inside the data area as best I can tell
CRC

Why do they mention these two only? Who uses what?

It won't work for me.  Router doesn't recognize a link directly to the PC

Any ideas?

RE: Bus Topology and Ethernet

2000-07-12 Thread Ken Chipps




  
  On 
  any architecture or topology you must consider the logical layout and the 
  physical layout. Ethernet is logically a bus. Token Ring is logically a ring. 
  Ethernet is physically a bus - as in 10Base5 and 10Base2 - or a star - as in 
  10BaseT. The bus arrangement of Ethernet makes more sense when you see it 
  physically in a 10Base2 form. 10Base2 is the old style of Ethernet that uses 
  thin coax cable. Token Ring is physically a star as well.

What Does RSSI Mean [7:64127]

2003-02-28 Thread Ken Chipps
In my studies for the Cisco wireless test I keep running across the term
RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indicator. Is this something different from
just the signal strength in dBms as shown by most utility programs? For
example in the site monitor part of the Orinoco Gold card it shows the
signal right now as -50 dBm and the noise as -98 dBm. So is the RSSI in this
case -50 dBm or does RSSI refer to something else the Orinoco site monitor
does not measure?

How Do You Measure a Wireless LAN's Packet Error Rate [7:64129]

2003-02-28 Thread Ken Chipps
While reading Priscilla's book on Campus Area Network Troubleshooting, which
is an excellent book that I highly recommend, it and other sources state
that the Packet Error Rate should be measured for a WLAN. The problem is I
cannot find anything at a reasonable price to use to measure such a thing
for a WLAN. For example, I see on the WaveRider web site, they are a maker
of wireless equipment, that they have a nice little tool that shows both
RSSI and Packet Error Rate. But this is only for their own equipment. Is
there a software tool for a laptop that will do this for an 802.11b WLAN?
You can more or less do this with Wild Packet's AiroPeek. A tool by Berkeley
Varitronics Systems called YellowJacket will also do this. But both of these
are expensive. Does anyone know of something less expensive?

You said that you got the sample configuration from cisco. Do you have
the link? 
I would like to look at something. My router supports both 'pvc' and
'atm pvc'. 
But 'pvc' has no vcd and only can operate with qsaal and ilmi. The 'atm
pvc' does 
have a vcd and can support ilmi, qsaal, and all the atm adaptation layer
protocols. 
Something else to look at!

Thanks for the suggestions from everyone. I will check the software

How do I check the feature set on the router? Will it display along with
the IOS version? And yes I will go look for the answer on cisco.com
right now, but in case anyone knows off the top of their head.

Hi,

You need a PLUS feature set to support ATM.

Thank you "The Long and winding Road", I did have left pointing arrows

Here it is again:

(my apologies for the wasted bw)


==

Ken,



I have two 3660 routers connected back to back via an OC3 link in a lab
environment. They are using IOS 12.0(7)T, IP Enterprise Version.



You seem to be missing the VCD ( Virtual Channel Descriptor) between the
pvc
and the vpi/vci command entries. Also, the vpi/vci syntax appears to be
incorrect in your configuration. The VCD can be a number or a word.



Take a look at the ATM interface configs on my working routers:



Router A:

!

interface ATM1/0

 ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0

 no ip directed-broadcast

 ip ospf network point-to-point

 atm clock INTERNAL

 atm ilmi-keepalive

 pvc Dallas 1/100  ~- VCD = Dallas

  protocol ip 10.10.10.1 broadcast

  vbr-nrt 256 64

  encapsulation aal5snap

!

!

router ospf 100

 network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

!



Router B:

!

interface ATM1/0

 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

 no ip directed-broadcast

 ip ospf network point-to-point

 no atm ilmi-keepalive

Which Version of ATM to Use [7:53737]

2002-09-20 Thread Ken Chipps

I have been reading up on how to configure ATM on Cisco equipment. In
particular I have been looking at examples of how ATM is used in a campus
network, such as to connect two buildings. The Cisco documents for the 8510
MSR for example discuss configuration using LANE clients, MPOA, Classical
IP, and bridging. The part I have been unable to figure out is, in the real
world, which of these methods would I use to create a campus area network
connecting together two or more buildings using ATM? For example, Cisco says
that Classical IP over ATM is only used for inband management of the ATM
switch router. Yet it seems to me to be the way to do this. If not, is LANE
the answer? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Which Version of ATM to Use [7:53737]

2002-09-20 Thread Ken Chipps

Thanks, to the several that pointed out that ATM is dead in such an
environment. I know that. What I mean is in the case where it is already in
place, how do they do it? Assuming for whatever I reason I do not want to or
cannot get rid of the ATM as the campus link, how is such a thing
configured? Which of the techniques I listed do most people use? Or is there
some other method I have yet to hear about? Is there just one way to do
this? Does everybody with such an ATM link use LANE, if IP is the only thing
they need to send?

Re: E-books [7:55001]

2002-10-07 Thread Ken Chipps

I like pdf format myself. I often print out a few pages or a chapter to
study from. Then I can highlight different parts for different areas of
study. This avoids messing up the original book. I have done this may times
with the Lanmmle books, all of which I paid for myself. In fact, I am doing
this right now as I leave for class. I need to brush up on VLAN
configuration. While the students are doing a lab on their own, I will be
reviewing VLAN information so I can create a new lab for VLANs in a CAN. I
wish all books came hardcover and pdf.

RE: Network Analyzers [7:72346]

2003-07-15 Thread Ken Chipps
Interesting. I have used both products as well and I found the
interface, filter, and capture functions to be just the opposite. In
that the EtherPeek filters and capture seemed counterintuitive, whereas
Sniffer was obvious. The Sniffer interface seems to have things exactly
where I expect them to be :)

That is one of the reasons I stopped using EtherPeek in our labs and
switched to Sniffer.

Must be why they are both on the market. Both are excellent products.

regretted it. A couple times I found that EtherPeek didn't decode a
protocol
as well as Sniffer, but I reported it, and the next release had a better
decode.

The best thing about EtherPeek is that the user interface is so
intuitive.
Everything works the way you expect it to. Sniffer is a bit more clumsy
and
Ethereal is definitely more clumsy. It took me hours to figure out
filters
on Ethereal! Filters on Sniffer took quite a while too, come to think of
it.
They are obvious with EtherPeek.

Ethereal does do a great job considering it's free, though. It decodes
almost as many protocols as the others and just as competently.

Mainly I use an analyzer for protocol analysis. I don't use the expert
system on either Sniffer or EtherPeek NX. I find that both of them alert
you
to problems that aren't really problems.

Anyway, I do highly recommend EtherPeek. Sorry I don't have any more
details
on features in one or the other though.

RE: wireless security and VPN software? [7:73988]

2003-08-14 Thread Ken Chipps
Are they concerned about what is in the traffic going back and forth
from the wireless users to the wired network? In other words
interception of the signal. Or is it a desire to isolate the wireless
from the wired side of the network. If isolation is what is needed, it
would seem a lot easier to put the wireless users in their own network
and implement security where the wireless and wired networks join. If
they are concerned with the traffic going back and forth over the
wireless network, what about encrypting all of their traffic by default?
If they use a VPN solution, it does nothing for the rogue access point
problem. A group of users could setup their own wireless network and not
have to use a VPN. Whereas if all PCs encrypt their traffic, even over
the wired network, they could bypass the interception problem. Now I
cannot say I have ever attempted to encrypt traffic this way. What are
the problems with this approach?

Subject: wireless security and VPN software? [7:73988]

For a large campus network that has a need for wireless access in
conference
rooms, cafeterias, etc., would it be overkill to require wireless
clients to
use VPN IPSec software to access the campus network? This is for a
customer
who is paranoid about security and understands the tradeoff of
ease-of-use
versus security.

There are othere downsides with requiring VPN software, of course,
including
the usual issues of incompatibility with some apps, the lack of support
for
protocols other than IP, and the lack of support for multicast
applications
(from what I understand). Also, we have to consider the scalability of
the
current VPN solution and whether it can support numerous transient
wireless
users, but we think it can. There are many advantages with IPSec too,
like
support for encryption that actually works...

What do you all think? Do any of you require your campus wireless users
to
use VPN software?

Sorry if it's a stupid question.

OT Post Question About Books [7:74309]

2003-08-25 Thread Ken Chipps
This Sunday has been quiet on the list. In fact most days are quiet on this
list these days. This brings to mind a question I have had for a while. If
anyone has anything on this I would appreciate hearing from you. The
question is, in this down book market how many copies do the books published
by publishers such as Cisco Press and O'Reilly actually sell? I searched the
web some, but these numbers never seem to be published anywhere. In
particular I am curious as to how many copies a how to configure Cisco
routers book sells as opposed to some of the more obscure topics O'Reilly
publishes books on. Do any of the esteemed authors on the list care to share
their numbers with me or point me to the source for such figures? Any
information would be appreciated, even if it is a more than this number but
less than this other number sort of range. If this is too personal of a
question, I understand.
