Re: Halabi's Internet Routing Architecture 1st/2d eds- Differences?

2001-03-08 Thread Lance Hubbard


I just finished reading 1st edition.  A couple of weeks ago, glossed through 
the 2nd edition in the bookstore and noticed no major differences except the 
diagrams were more up to date in terms of the internet backbone bandwidth 
allocations and NAP placements

Cheers,

the following solution for full-mesh, Point-to-Point network 
connectivity.

Campbell soup can-String-Campbell soup can

Pow! instant solution!!!...and what a savings!

While a network administrator may be tempted to go with the larger capacity 
cans, be aware that a costly echo cancellation implementation may be 
required.

I've seen qfe0 on Sun boxes, it refers to Quad Fast Ethernet.  They offer

Re: So what SHOULD a CCIE know?

2000-12-27 Thread Lance Hubbard


Well let's start with the obvious.

  It's well documented that if a CCIE candidate has limited knot-tying 
hands-on experience to go along with his/her book knowledge, the probability 
of a "tripping mishap" is increased dramatically.  Imagine the embarassment 
of the candidate, when he/she injurs themselves while entering the Lab 
examination roomall because of an untied shoelace which could have been 
easily avoided had the candidate spent more time with "hands-on" exercises.

Re: T3 and Ds3

2000-12-28 Thread Lance Hubbard


Although often used interchangably, and rightly so, technically DS-3 or 
Digital Signal-3 is different than T-3 or T-Carrier-3.  A DS-3 channel is  
comprised of seven DS-2 channels, which is comprised of four DS-1s, which is 
24 DS-0sso.

DS-0 = 64K x24 =
DS-1 = 1.536M (1.544M w/T-carrier overhead) x2 =
DS-2 = 3.072M (3.152M w/T-carrier overhead) x7 =
DS-3 = 43.008M (44.736M w/T-carrier overhead)

There is also a DS-1C, which is two DS-1s, but this is rarely seen anymore.  
In fact, These values are dependant on the Mux hierarchy of telco's 
T-carrier Mux networks, the strict sense of this terminology being largely 
obsolete, depending on how new thier stuff is. Hense DS-3 and T-3 being used 
interchangably.

Use EIA-530 pin-out on the 37 pin connector on the KIV.  This sounds wierd 
but there you go.

2/14-TXD
3/16-RXD
15/12-TXCLK
17/9-RXCLK
31 and 33 are your TX and RX resyncs

Check out the KIV user manual for more details.

Cheers,

Lance

Puzzling HSRP issue....Comments?

2001-01-18 Thread Lance Hubbard


Group,

Ran across a puzzling HSRP behavior issue today...

I have two 2514s running HSRP on Ethernet 0.  When I induce a failure of 
Primary router's (Router A) E0 interface, I can use 'debug standby' to 
determine that HSRP failover takes place as expected, just after the 
holddown expires.  The Standby router (Router B) waits three hello 
intervals, then changes it's MAC to the virtual HSRP MAC, becoming Active.  
This works like textbook, what I did not expect came when I restored 
Ethernet 0 on Router A (the one with a higher Standby priority), when this 
is done, Router A changes HSRP state from init to listen for one holddown 
interval, and begins sending hellos.  It receives none from Router B, 
although Router B is sending them.  Router A then changes state from listen 
to standby, continues to send hellos, then changes state to Active, also 
changing it's MAC to the HSRP virtual MAC.  At this point, Router A 
continues sending hellos, recieving none, even though I can verify that 
Router B is sending them.  Eventually, Router A recieves a hello from Router 
B, indicating a resignation. Good.  Router A is now officially the active 
HSRP router and begins forwarding traffic, problem is this process takes 
27-30 seconds, regardless of hellointerval/holddown timers (I tried this 
with the default of 3/10 and then with 1/3 and got the same 30 second delay 
in fail-back)  Oh, by the way, all packets forwarded to the HSRP 
interface bound for their respective destinations get dropped during this 
30second fail-back blackout.any thoughts?

Cheers,

Lance

Re: cabletron

2001-01-22 Thread Lance Hubbard

  I use SSR8600/2000s and SmartSwitch 9000/6000/2100/2200s, also Matrix E7s. 
  Overall I respect Cabletron/Enterasys for the high, raw throughput and low 
cost of their products, however the Menu config interface of the Switches 
are not as intuitive as the Catalyst line of products.  Also, the platforms 
are not impressively feature-rich like the Catalyst line.  The product line 
has some unforgivable gaps (mid-size switch), at my last place of 
employment, my team was unable to implement a Cabletron solution solely 
because of the massive install footprint of the SS6000 (24 inches tall).  We 
chose Cat5505s, which provided more ports in half the space (not to mention 
CATios features vs. Cabletron's).
  The smurf attack vulnerability is interesting, if not alarming, seeing how 
my network is supporting a DoD mission critical Ballistic Missile Defense 
System.  If I had any say, my network would have no Cabletron/Enterasys 
products.

Cheers,

Lance

RE: CISCO SWITCH

2000-10-09 Thread Lance Hubbard

Shore Microsystems makes a "Autoswitch", which dual homes to two 
Access-layer ethernet switches.  Workstations are plugged into the 
autoswitch, which uses a voltage censor to detect link failure from either 
of the Access-layer ethernet switches.  The autoswitch then uses physical 
relays to "autoswitch" the workstation connectivity to the alternate 
Access-layer ethernet switch.  The autoswitch is able to perform this 
failover in mere hundredths of a second.behold..

Re: Thanks Mr Doyle.

2000-10-13 Thread Lance Hubbard

A fellow group-member and I saw this at our place of employment about a year 
ago.  Indeed, when running EIGRP in large, highly meshed networks with 
variable link rates (1.5Mb/s - 6Mb/s in our case) it is often necessary to 
audit your traffic patterns and tweek your EIGRP metrics. (Bandwidth, delay, 
reliablity, load, MTU).  We ended up doing as you did, and modified the 
delay metric to solve the issue.

.can't say I know about any bugs...

cheers,

Lance

Re: COLT tests

2000-10-17 Thread Lance Hubbard

I think I have to agree.

I took the CCDA COLT test yesterday, and to my dismay, despite using the 
book for occational referance I missed 12 out of 52.  The questions I missed 
were many of the questions I looked up in the book (DCN Cisco Press).  The 
test contradicts the book often, and several times questions have multiple 
correct answers, not in which there is a "best answer" but there are 
literaly several 100% correct answers for each question, and you are allowed 
to pick just one.  It did open my eyes to some problem areas for me, but 
this is not a route I would go for legitimate readiness evaluation.

Cheers,

Lance

Just sifted thru the certification logo usage guidelines  The way I 
understand it, we are not allowed to use the triangular logos on printed

allowed on business cards and web sites...?

RE: cabletron [3:81]

2000-10-25 Thread Lance Hubbard


I work with a considerable amount of Cabletron/Enterasys equipment.  It 
is not so bad, however, I did attend a official training course for the SSR 
that SUCKED.  Enterasys has lots of market share because the Government 
invests in there stuff alot(Navy, NSA).  I will say that the old SPEL 
management software is crap, however.
I don't suppose anyone cares that the SSR8600 has L3 thruput of 
32,000,000 packets per second at layer3 (blows away, and costs less than a 
CAT 6509 with MSFC).

Re: Rumor Alert - Lab Changes - WAS: Flame bait.

I heard a "rumor" last week that the R/S lab would be changed so that on the 
2nd day, rather than troubleshooting the same network the candidate built on 
the 1st day, he/she would be intoduced to a DIFFERENT network to debug.

NetworkWorld Road to CCIE - WAS RE: HEATED RESPONSE - WAS RE: Lab exam

My money says that the author fails to get the CCIE before his 18 month 
projection.Nothing personal, of course, but it will be interesting 
nontheless to follow this guy's progression.  I'm sure he will have an 
unlimited budget for training courses and a practice lab.

Interoperability alert: running hsrp with Enterasys Matrix [7:227]

2001-04-11 Thread Lance Hubbard

For those disinterested with Cisco/Enterasys product interoperability 
issues, delete now.

  For those who care to know, I encountered an interesting issue the other 
day.
  While setting up a test for a network upgrade I am involved with, I 
chanced to find some problems running hsrp between cisco routers via a 
Matrix E7.
  My implementation will consist of 2 Cat 4006s w/ Layer3 modules at the 
distribution layer, and Enterasys Matrix E7s at the access layer while 
testing hsrp between Layer3 module port-channel subinterfaces (via the 
Matrix E7), the switch-blade of the E7, to my dismay, restarted.  Further 
testing, and commentary with TAC revealed a "bug" that essentially causes 
hsrp hello packets (224.0.0.2) to reset the E7 switch-blades running version 
4.07.9 firmware.  The reset occurs within seconds of the switch-blade 
recieving the first hello, and will render the entire switch-blade 
unreachable/unusable for the duration of the reset process (30-45 seconds).  
The Switch-blade will then repeat the reset process in a vicious cycle, as 
long as hsrp is running.  Upgrading to version 4.08.18 firmware (on the E7) 
solved the problem.

Cheers,

Lance

Dave,

CCPREP is excellent.  They just reformatted their practice test format to 
more closely resemble the actual exam.  and they provide lots of questions 
(180-300).  In addition, you can drop a line to Mr. Rossi and get answers to 
that which perplexes you.  Also available are some rather good white papers.

Re: Value of Cisco Certifications

2000-05-31 Thread Lance Hubbard

Jim,

I'll share with you the observations of myself and acquaintances.

Depending on location and experience, and presuming that the level of the 
cert is commensurate with actual knowledge, a typical CCNA can pull down 
anywhere from $35k-$60, a CCNP from $50k-$90k, and a CCIE from $80k-$150k.  
It would be an exercise in futility to nail down a source that says "if you 
have x number of years of experience and certs A, B and C then you are worth 
$XX,XXX in annual salary.  Everyone learns at a different pace and picks 
this stuff up to the beat of a different drummer.

Cheers,

Lance

Re: OT: Does Cisco give away training for big $ purchases?

2000-06-01 Thread Lance Hubbard

Mark,

About 9 months ago, I bought $400K worth of Catalyst switches for a project. 
  The people I was working for were one of Cisco's OLDEST and most faithful 
customers.I tried negociating with my Cisco Rep for a class for each 
member of my team, but because they entrust their customer technical 
training to the likes of Globalknowledge, CCTI and CCCI, he couldn't hook me 
up.  Cisco does provide internal training classes, but because of the fact 
that much of the material used in them is company proprietary, they are 
usually paraniod about letting outsiders attend.

Cheers,

Lance

VLAN problems with Catalyst 3548G

2000-06-05 Thread Lance Hubbard


Got a new toy to play with...a Cat 3548G.  Problem is, that while creating a 
new VLAN (in this case I chose "VLAN 100"), The VLAN interface seems to have 
a love affair with the shutdown/Administratively down state.  Anyone had 
similar hurdles to clear?  (besides the obvious "no shutdown", it is 
ineffective)

That worked perfect, thanks alot.  The 3548XL takes some getting used to 
from a switch perspective, because it is so akin to router IOS, but what a

Re: 3548xl and vlans

2000-06-08 Thread Lance Hubbard


Josh,

To assign a port on the 3548 to a vlan, get into config mode on the port in 
question and invoke the "switchport access vlan" command.  this will do the 
trick.

Switch(config)#int fa 0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 100

Be sure to doublecheck the port moved to the new vlan by invoking the "show 
vlan" command.

cheers,

Lance

A coworker of mine took the CCNA 2.0 a couple of days ago, and passed.  He

high emphasis on design issues, and low emphasis on the OSI model, ACLs and
