Chuck,
Thank You.  Over the past year + you have been a mentor (and Joe) to many of
us.  As you had success, many of us were inspired.  I know I was always a
few steps behind ya... with the NA then NP then DA then DP... now I just got
my ATM specialization so on to the written.  But thru all this you have
inspired.  Now , you inspire not with success but by being positive when it
would be easy to get negative and push blame every where else.  Stay in
there... there are many of us lurkers (I do post on occasion) wishing the

I have an ATM cloud with LS1010s LS1015s and an 8540.  On my lane blade I
have the LES/BUSs and LECs configured

A long time ago... I was having problems with ATM director as part of CWSI
seeing the ATM cloud correctly.. Part of the FIX was stating VTP ENABLED on
the Lane Blades...  I recently was told that was a NO-NO... however no
reason given...  Can any shed any light on this?

RE: Extremely Strange Routing Problem! (update)

2001-02-03 Thread Lou Nelson

John,
By default EIGRP does auto-summarization.  This cause a NETWORK statement to
be all inclusive.  And any route it learns about to classfull it (regardless
of a no classfull statement).  Even if you place the network statement in
each classless masking you still summarize.   Therefore, the EIGRP will
place any routes it does not know about as learned via NULL0.  Try using a
no auto summary and review your routers passive statements.

>  ip route 10.2.50.70 255.255.255.255 10.2.70.75  50
>  ip route 10.2.50.70 255.255.255.255 10.1.111.60  100
>  ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Null0  (don't ask why this is here, it just
is
>  )

This is VERY CLEARLY a summarization.  EIGRP Summarizes by DEFAULT without
the no auto summary.  Please let me know if this helps.

More info.  The router does not appear to realize that the "directly"
connected next-hop address is unreachable.

RouterA#sho ip route 10.2.7.75
Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/8
  Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0 (connected)
  Redistributing via eigrp 1, rip
  Advertised by eigrp 1
rip
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * directly connected, via Null0
  Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

So, even though the interface directly connected to the next-hop address is
down, it thinks it is still reachable via a static routing pointing to
Null0, a connected interface.  Does this seem irrational to anyone but me??
If the next hop is down but there is a valid next-hop in the eigrp topology
table, I want it to take that route, not the default route!  Dang it all!
:-)

I still don't understand this behavior at all, but perhaps this will provide
a clue to some of you.

RE: Resume Length (was: Certifications on resumes)

2001-01-29 Thread Lou Nelson

I totally agree that a resume should be clean and free of errors and project
your best image.  I was trying to point out (and I did a poor job of it)
that A CCNA IMHO has a place on the resume (if it fits) because the resume
only gets you the interview.  I know that when I wrote my resume most
recently, I kept having to remind myself that all I wanted the resume to do
was get me in the door... open up discussions on what I can do, and bypass
the HR folks to get to the technical department.  I was only focusing in on
that single point of CCNP and CCNA or just CCNP discussion.  Please forget
that CLASSIC comment I made.

I fail to see how your reply relates to my post, and I
would agree with the generic position that the resume
will not garner the offer - however, I've gotten
offers on resume alone for contracts, and I've
rejected a number of otherwise fine canidates because
their resumes were so bad. (I was hiring.) These
problems included grammar, spelling, style and
content. The resume sets a tone - a good one raises
the expectations and elevates the canidate. A poor
one, if interviewed, places him/her in a bad position
from the start.

I think that having two version of your resume is more
common these days - fancy formatting for print and
ASCII for eMail, etc. I PDF mine, and its three pages,
but the first page is summary and the last page is
education, certifications and associations. I think
that the length answer is three or under - if you've
got more then its either too dated or you've done too
much and aren't parsing out the important stuff.

When I review for hire I am amazed at the number of
gramatical and spelling errors, in addition to the
amount of silly stuff. Do I care that you belong to
the ski club? No. Do I enjoy seeing the letters CCNA
after your name like MD? Not when I'm hiring - in
fact, it puts you in place with the rest of the folks
instead of pulling you to the top.

One page these days, my opinion, is too sparse. Each
of the last five years should have at least four
bullets - that's good for a page in well zized text.
Another page for certs and education, and perhaps a
little bit for introduction - I personally hate the "I
want a job that..." Also, please DON'T use every font
and don't print double sided. Leave room for notes!!!
(Sorry for being a mother hen!)

For the certs on the resume - CCNA, CCNP..., it seems
like there are two camps - those that put it in for HR
and keyword search and those that don't want to work
for a company that is too stupid to understand the
relationship. (The position is too junior if they're

I listed mine this way..
·   CCNP - Cisco Certified Network Professional, Jun 2000

Subject: Certifications on resumes


I was asked an interesting question this morning by a
friend who just passed their CCNP. Basically they
wanted to know if they should now remove the CCNA from
their resume or list both CCNA and CCNP.

I took the position that (as I do) the CCNP implies
the CCNA, and therefore one would only list their
'highest' within a track. A number of co-workers said
no, list it all.

Please chime in with your position - unicast if your
just sending a vote and multicast if you are raising a
discussion. Sorry to those who feel this is an
improper use of the board.

Thanks.

RE: Cat5500 question

2001-01-20 Thread Lou Nelson

Jason,
If you have a CAT 5500 and they suggest a new SUP... they are referring to
the first board the sup engine... IT is hardware... but in a 5500 you want a
sup 3 not a sup 1...  The 5500 has 3 back plane's that are 1.2 gig each...
only the sup 3 will aggregate those into a combined 3.6 gig back plane
(Market Math).The sup 3 contains a phoenix chip that does this
aggregation.  Even with the market math there... the sup 3 is far superior
for your box and gives you it true best speed.

RE: can SPAN port transmit?

2000-12-30 Thread Lou Nelson

I do use intra-vlan routing in that a within the vlan is a gateway for that
VLAN of course an arp (that I see) for the gateway occurs... then when
traffic is sent to the vlans gateway to route to another vlan or anywhere...
I do NOT see that
As you said I would have to go to where the mapping occurs (a bunch of 7507s
with AIPs)... I would find the HSRP active router... no problems...  Still
this does not give me what I was looking for...
In Top Down Design (shameless Plug), a lot of discussion goes to knowing
thyself and the traffic.  What I wanted to see was the amount of traffic,
type of traffic, broadcast versus standard on a given VLAN.  First to
baseline the VLAN, then to identify within my network where I may need
additional improvements.  We have some 16000 host and seem rock solid...  We
have way more bandwidth then needed but expect a huge amount of growth..
not in host but in applications...  two of my 120+ work group managers
constantly insist on infrastructure related problems... yet LMS and HP Open
view show nothing.  Each time they raise a stink, me or one of my
technicians find not only nothing wrong, but often see no symptoms.  Still
these WGMs get managements ear.  In all we have proven each and every time
these guys are off their rockers but it did raise my desire to span the
entire VLAN to Sniffer Pro and get some baselines of the VLANs traffic.  I
wanted to do this from my office simply by creating the LEC spanning the
vlan ... and wham...  In the end all I catch mostly is some CDP, HSRP, and
other type broadcast

Now spanning the port works exactly and accomplished everything I have
wanted it to where I use it.  I have been able to get profiles of our
outbound and inbound data to our network.  I have been able to show growth
and get additional assets with empirical data...

Anyway  thanks Nigel...  I keep looking for a way to capture ALL the data in
a given VLAN... this kinda does make ya wish for a HUB mode.. not

NT: This won't happen unless you implement some type of inter-vlan routing
in
which case you're no longer monitoring at layer 2 which is where the span
ports
on the switched devices are suppose to monitor/capture. Of course to monitor
different vlans you would have to redefine you SPAN port values if you were
looking to still mointor on Layer 2 .  However, To monitor the VLAN to VLAN
or VLANto VLAn gateway traffic you would have to do this where your VLAN
maps to layer 3, which would mean at either the RSM(where you would
probably have your HSRP gateways defined) or at router with
a AIP card that provides the layer 3 requirememt.

RE: ip route question

2000-12-30 Thread Lou Nelson

Cory,
I read thru the responses and they are all good but I would like to
add...
Who is to say that an Ethernet interface is not a point to point.   Using
media converters changing a FE interface from tx to fiber and then back
again I have many WAN FE point to point  interfaces.
In a few cases I prefer the interface because it prevent routing loops when
links fail.  I run HSRP on three gateway 7507s with gig uplinks to a 7513.
The 3 7507 are logically connected via ATM interfaces that also house the
HSRP.  By using the interface to point out the gig links versus the opposite
end ip interface on the gig link I prevent on 7507 believing that sending
packets back to the originating router is a preferred EIGRP route to get to
the 7513.


So the Eth interface does not have to be a broadcast environment... it can
be a point to point!

Lou,
The answer is yes.  I must be more specific in stating that since
LANE extends layer 2 characteristics through the ATM cloud.  ELANs are
simply a way of extending a VLAN(lan segment/broadcast domain).
So plugging a sniffer onto a span port that is configured to a specific VLAN
which is mapped to a possible specific ELAN you should be able to capture
all/any traffic within the E-LAN(Extended-VLAN).

What you're seeing would tend to suggest a incorrectly SPAN port.

The reason I ask is that my client is developing a network management box
that will connect to a SPAN port and collect traffic as well as
occasionally send SNMP queries and other UDP packets.

He realizes that if the user were collecting data from many ports there
would be performance issues. However, he wants to know, in the absence of

sending disabled on the SPAN port? The other answers (from people who have

You and Joe Martin and a few others on this list have kept me going.  Last
year this time I was looking at my last full year of AF duty.. (20 Years).
I will be leaving the AF in April and Job hunting.  I had just also finished
my BS.  I had an CCNA at the time.
Now I am 1/3 done my masters...  Finished my CCDA ... Finished my CCNP and
might have finished my CCDP...  I intend on getting the written done in the
next few months and finding some employment that will sponsor the CCIE
training/LAB to fill in my weak spots You Joe, and the rest of the gang
on this list mean a heelluva lot to me...  I lurk more then I post due to
time constraints... but that does not diminish how much each of you have
meant to me...  Recently Aaron ( a recent CCIE) wrote he got the chance to
met with you after his CCIE lab  Not only do I look forward to that lab
next year...  but I would also like to have dinner with you to personally
thank you (and Joe and Howard and Jasper and Pricilla (Ms Design) and Pam
and Jeff and Charles and Mark and Robert and ...   just a few of the names I
always look for) (do you all remember Jeff Doyle posting here before went
Juniper?)  Anyway...  each of you have contributed to my learning and today
I have 12 technicians who directly work for me and some larger number that
constantly work with me that all benefit from what you have all have
taught...
I did cover a few of the great authors here but I must also thank Todd,
Radia, Chris L., Andrew T and Mr. Stevens for their great books

Here is 2001  and to getting a 1 CCIE number before 7K (R&S) and one after

Subject: Off Topic - Thoughts on the coming year


This shouldn't be too long. No goal setting this year. No laying out of
plans and schemes. Just a reflection on my own achievements, and what that
might mean to you.

I discovered Cisco certification 19 months ago, shortly after I lost my job
as technology manager at a small brokerage firm. (downsized by the new
owners) At that time I thought that maybe it would take me five years to get
my CCIE. A year ago, when I laid out my plan for the year 2000, and posted
it here, I saw that it might be possible to have at least passed the CCIE
written by year end.

Today, my CCIE lab is scheduled, and I believe I will have attained that
goal by end of year 2001. This is amazing to me.

So I just want to say, on this eve of the REAL new millenium, to all of you
on this list, to all of you single moms and high school kids and career
changers and overweight middle aged guys, and non native English speakers,
you CAN do it! It may be a journey of a thousand miles, but it can be done,
as the saying goes, one step at a time.

To all of you whose names I have seen in my in-box these past months, my
best wishes to you all. Wherever you are on the road - the shoreline, Delhi,
Katmandu, Base Camp, or nearly at Everest's summit - you CAN do it. I look
forward to seeing you on the road, on the trail, on the climb, at the top.

May you achieve those things which fulfill you in this coming new year!

Humm... interesting question.

>From one point of view...

What should be tested (or not tested):

In over 10 years of IT work I have only ran across AppleTalk once, so drop
AppleTalk (which they are doing).

In the same time frame I have only ran across one IPX network that wasn't
either in the process of being converted to 100BaseT or was only being used
in the DC to connect to a Novell server that was a file server which had
it's drives mapped to NT drives. So IPX should take a big back seat to IP.

TR, well personally I like it, but again I have only seen one network with
TR that wasn't planned to be changed to 100BaseT. Come to think of it, they
announced the upgrade a couple of months after I left there. So TR should
also be in the back seat.

Bridging, humm... well in some respects it is rarely used in the networks I
have seen, mostly to get to SNA servers. But then again you had better know
your IRB pretty well with all of the L3 switching that companies are being
sold these days.

L3 switching, better know that pretty well. There are just too many
companies being sold L3 that it had better take a bigger role in the lab.

The R/S written and lab should take on more of the service provider element.
I am not saying that the new SP track should be rolled into the RS track.
But with outsourcing and the Internet with VPN, dial and the like taking a
bigger and bigger role in most companies, better know your ATM, dial, VPN,
BGP, etc, etc. The same can be said for security.

Not having taken the lab, I can not really say as to how IPX, TR, or
bridging is tested. It could be that it is tested as a primary thing and not
as a secondary, e.g. "well looks like we are going to have to deal with that
TR segment over rather we want to or not". The same could be said for ATM,
maybe it should be a primary and not a secondary.

Well there is $0.02 from one point of view, HTH.

I feel that a CCIE should know everything in his technology specialty (i.e.
routed
global networks with enterprise switching) like he ate it for breakfast. For
everything
else a CCIE should have a general knowledge and know exactly how and where
to find more
information on the subject.

About the tests:  I think they are good, though they could be a bit more in
depth (maybe
more questions on certain topics).  When I took the written the first time I
came out of
it with a headache and a clear path of what I needed to work on.  I'm glad
to see that
they are retiring some of the older protocols, but for those that work
strictly in the
IP area it can be a burden to learn things we have never touched and don't
work with.

Some time back Cisco carried the dial out utility.  It has been EOLd and is
no longer available on the CCO.  I still need a copy of it and the server I

I failed the CID first time through, passed it second time. On both tests
there was a particular question, which fell into a "security" category ( in
my mind anyway )  There were 3 wrong answers and one right answer. I will go
to my grave convinced that  there is an error on the test, and the real
question is "which of these is NOT" rather than "which of these IS"

BTW - anyone EVER gotten any feedback from Cisco on comments made during the
test on test questions? I didn't think so.

Congratulations, another set of initials always feels good!

I also believe it is a single question.  I barely passed the CID when I took
it but I got the security question correct.

Couldn't say what it was though many have commented on the famous
security question but no one seems to remember it.  I believe it might not
really be security related but labeled that way.

anyway - congrats!

RE: ********* Access List Enquiry **************

Tom,
great answer but I think you will find that TCP 53 is used for large lookups
and some tools that that do lookups.  Generally as you say TCP 53 is zone...
but NOT always.

I think it is the normal practice because historically that was the only
capability which routers had (filtering on destination ports) and as the
IOS became more capable people were either unsure, or reluctant to change
their ways. The second example is more secure, and to take it a step
further (towards tighter security) I would filter on established too (where
appropriate). The gt 1023 refers to the random high numbered port that a
hosts assigns for the response to any packet sent to a well known port.
Another observation of your example is that you are filtering on TCP port
53. TCP port 53 is only used for zone transfers between a 2ndry and a
primary DNS server. Normal lookups, the type done by the majority of hosts
on the net,  use UDP port 53.

Everyone,

Don't put down lies or exaggerate on your resumes.
You will be uncovered.  Things like, "Very Familiar
with OSPF" leave you open to questions like "Explain
the problems with OSPF over Frame-Relay partial mesh
networks".  If your very familiar, then you know the
answer to that question.  If you have OSPF all over
your resume and can't answer that, potential employers
will probably not hire you.  Be honest, and your

Re: Integrating Avvid

2000-07-01 Thread Lou Nelson

Gary,
In most cases you CAN get it to work...  except with Nortel...  They have
trouble with VOIP... don't know why but it always ends with a sale call..
hey buy more of our stuff and it will work...
Anyway  An important point (regardless of cisco versus and lesser
product (and they all in the end are lesser)) is that a multivendor network
raises the total cost of Ownership by 31%...  There was a great article on
this some months back but that was the industry stat.  The extra cost comes
into play by ; Training, downtime, extra boxes for more scalability  etc

If anyone knows where that article is at please let me know...  I lost it
and want it back bad!

Re: CVOICE 2.0 beta exam

Am I off-base...
Since the SPECIALIZATIONS are available ONLY to CCIEs and CCNPs... why are
the betas allowing anyone off the street to take a shot?  I would not even
mind opening it up to CCNAs, DAs but hold the beat to some one that has
shown some initiative toward the cisco cert

Re: VLSM Question

Yep!!!
On the summarization statement
AREA areaid# RANGE address address-mask

but I think the statement
network ospf 23
is suppose to be ...
ROUTER OSPF 23

I used the wildcard .3 to define the network


AND my cut and paste of yours brought another error

route
it should read
NETWORK  address wildcard-mask AREA area#

Re: VLSM Question

2000-06-03 Thread Lou Nelson

Kurt,
Let me clear...  My OSPF is weak...  Lotsa study/// ZERO Hands on...  I work
with EIGRP, RIP etc... but will start some lab work soon with OSPF to get
ready for bigger TEST! enough of the excuses as to why I
could be wrong... so listen for the crowd to flame me if I stumbled.

Not really.
1.  Your e0-s1 are the network addresses... u need to make them the host
2.  This is oversummarization.  Your route of 172.16.10.0/27 is a network of
.0 a broadcast of .31 and includes all the host from 1-30...
Example the .27 address (which you have not assigned) exist elsewhere in
your route domain  it is lost because of you oversummarization

I suggest
 int e0 = 172.16.10.1 /30 (net .0  broad .3 host .1 & .2)
 int e1 = 172.16.10.5 /30 (net .4  broad .7 host .5 & .6)
 int s0 = 172.16.10.9 /30 (net .8  broad .11 host .9 & .10)
 int s1 = 172.16.10.13 /30 (net .12  broad .15 host .13 & .14)

Area Border Router.
!(folks correct me if I blow it)

 router ospf 23
 route 172.16.10.0 0.0.0.3 area 1
 route 172.16.10.4 0.0.0.3 area 2
 route 172.16.10.8 0.0.0.3 area 3
 route 172.16.10.12 0.0.0.3 area 4
 summary-address 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.240

Re: OSPF & RIP

2000-05-23 Thread Lou Nelson

Joe should be busy getting ready for his lab so let me.
RIP routes are limited to a maximum distance of 16 "layer 3" hops (i.e.
routers)...   Basically your network could contain 26 routers but the max
route from one to another  (a - z) could not hop thru more then 15 or RIP
would not see the route..  (think of it like the time to live exceeded).
OSPF on the other hand can see up to 255 hops
