RE: IOS for Home Lab [7:62830]

2003-02-11 Thread Mark W. Odette II
... it's been posted before that 12.1(5)T is supposed to be running on
the Routers in the CCIE Lab.  I have not attended the LAB, so I can't
say for sure.  I think it may even be listed on the Cisco Website for
the CCIE Track.

My advice- if you can afford it (and memory is really cheap), I would
max out the RAM and FLASH on all of your routers.  You might spend a
total of 300.00 USD on this, but it will be worth it.

I purchased some Cisco 4500/3810/2600 routers to setup the home lab.
They
all have old IOS and with only  4MB of flash for 4500s, but 3810s and
2600s
have 8MB of flash. I like to upgrade to atleast version 12.  Can you

Look into Dynamic map configuration. It's an extension of the Crypto
Map, as you can only apply one crypto map to the interface (outside).

See CCO website for more details (search Google for "dynmap" and PIX,
and you should find several examples).  On CCO's site, do a search on
Technical Tips on PIX

Dear wise man,

First of all ,I think there's a more polite way we can discuss such

with each other.

Second none of those S register parameters is related to the modem
compression

S27 > enable/disable V.25 calling tone
S28--> Guard tone
S30---> Max connect rate
S43---> V.34 carrier frequency

The parameters related to compression are:

S21 -> specify permited methods of data compression.

but I need to know the value of S21 to enable compression (S21=??)

RE: ADSL and PIX puzzle [7:63458]

2003-02-20 Thread Mark W. Odette II
A Couple of pointers from my humble experience (granted this is also
provided from a very tired engineer that needs to go to bed :) ):

Put 200.10.10.36/30 on the Dialer Interface.  ... I think you need to be
using the VPDN Group commands to get the DSL working.  There are a
couple of ways to connect to the ISP DSLAM, i.e., Dialer Interface with
VPDN, or BVI interfaces (which is what I would expect with the scenario
you describe utilizing the ADSL interface rather than a Service Provider
DSL Modem and a PPPoE compliant Eth0 interface).

If you go with BVI interface config, then put the 200.10.10.36/30 on the
BVI interface.

Put 200.10.15.184/29 on the Ethernet0 of the DSL Router...

Put 200.10.15.185/29 on the PIX Outside Interface...

Do NAT on the PIX ONLY.

Static NAT for the Web Server with another one of those IPs in the block
you have been issued, or PAT to the Webserver with Port Redirection.

Default Route to the DSL Router on the PIX, Default Route to the
Upstream provider on the DSL Router.

Seems like a pretty straight forward config for both devices.

Hello networkers,

I am trying to "conjure up" a working config for an ADSL link with
static IPs
for a 827 series router,
these public IPs are supposed to point to, say a webserver, that sits
behind
a
pix firewall
(which is directly connected to 827 router4s ethernet interface),
problem is when I try to come up with a working config. I find myself
getting into trouble.
(The catch is, I need the webserver behind that pix.)
Now this gets me using NAT twice to get a public IP from
the internet through the router past the pix and into my webserver,
I know it doesn4t sound right and obviously does not work either ;),
Any help/clue/criticisms are most welcome ;)
Ok,

2003-02-20 Thread Mark W. Odette II
>>in show ip interface it shows as protocol down , physical link up.
>>sh frame-relay pvs shows as inactive.no lmi are exchanged.

Usually "Protocol Down, Link Up" indicates that you have mismatched
encapsulation, LMI-Type, or even incorrect IP Addressing (wrong Subnet
or incorrect Subnet Mask) between your end and the other end of the FR
Network.

If no LMI is exchanged, then the LMI-Type is incorrect between that
Serial Interface and the Service Provider Frame Switch.

If this is a Frame Relay LAB setup, double-check your Frame Relay
"Switch" configuration.

If this is a Production Setup, contact your ISP and verify your Frame
Relay configuration parameters. (LMI-Type, DLCI, etc.)


On the No Shut command, I'd use it last on each interface you configure.

RE: ADSL and PIX puzzle [7:63498]

2003-02-21 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Strictly speaking, I didn't do the math and verify (since you specified
"for example") the ip net block against your example subnet mask.  You
specified .248 as your mask before, now you're indicating it as /24
mask.  Which ever it is, the point was this:

If the ISP has assigned you a two-host subnet for the ADSL connection to
them (Just like a Point-to-Point T1), and they've also assigned you a
block of 8 addresses (1 used for Net boundary, 1 used for Broadcast, 1
used for the Router, 5 used for what ever you feel like), then you would
follow the suggestions for addressing that I laid out.

If you were assigned full Class C addresses for either the DSL
Connection OR the "Client" Public block (which represents hosts like
your WebServer via NAT), then simply put the /24 mask on each interface.
For the ADSL connection itself though, that would be a gross waste of
addresses.

Also, if you were given TWO Class C blocks, then you could simply put
one IP from the first block on your Dialer Interface, one IP from the
same block on the Ethernet0 Interface, and one IP from the same block on
the Outside Interface of the PIX.  You'd then put 1 IP address from the
second block on the Inside interface, and DHCP/STATIC Assign the rest of
that block to any host on the Inside network (alternatively, if you had
a PIX that had the DMZ NIC, you could put the second block on that, but
the address assignment still applies in practice).  This would work for
the application of your web server hosting a max of 253 Unique
.com/.net/.org/.whatever websites- each with its own unique public
address (you can assign a whole class C to a single NIC).  This would,
of course be a waste of addresses if your web server is only hosting a
couple of websites and you don't even have a LAN that uses all 254
addresses of that second public block.


Doing Double-Nat is only really necessary (from my limited experience)
for situations where you are trying to connect two LANs together that
were previously numbered with the same net block/mask, i.e., LAN A and
LAN B are on the 172.16.30.x/24 network.  You have to introduce an
additional router/firewall into the mix on ONE of the ends to make the
connection work (whether it be GRE Tunneling from LAN to LAN, VPN Tunnel
from LAN to LAN, etc.).

I'm quite sure others will expand on or correct me where I'm not hitting
the mark :)

Public IPs: 200.10.15.184/29

Ok, following Mark4s tip I would put 200.10.10.138 255.255.255.0 on
Dialer 
int.
Mark then suggests "Put 200.10.15.184/29 on the Ethernet0 of the DSL 
Router..."
and "Put 200.10.15.185/29 on the PIX Outside Interface..."

umm, the IP on eth0 is my network number for public IP space, so,
shouldn4t 
eth0 on router
be 200.10.15.185/24 ? If so wouldn4t I be wasting 1 IP to get to the
pix?

Albert Lu suggests using ip unnumbered eth0, on the Dialer int,
ok, then if I use 200.10.10.138/24 on eth0 on the router(ISP uses the
other 
available IP)
what other IP could I use on the pix eth0 (interface directly connected
to 
router4s eth0)?

Why wouldn4t I want to use NAT on both router and pix, and go with Kent

RE: Voice degradation problem in Cisco VoIP network [7:63823]

2003-02-25 Thread Mark W. Odette II
A couple of things to check/answer that should point you in the
direction of the corrective actions.

1. Is Data and Voice over IP traffic going over this FR link?
2. If 1 is yes, then, has it always been this way?
3. If 2 is no, then, what has changed in terms of traffic across the
link?  You might need to look into implementing LLQ traffic shaping to
manage/protect the time-sensitive Voice traffic.
4. If 2 is yes, then 
   A) check to see if your configuration on the routers has changed in
regards to the traffic queuing mechanism you have in place
   B) check your Serial Interface stats to see if there are CRC errors
or other types of circuit problems, or check the Frame Relay stats for
FECN/BECN issues, etc.

If I recall correctly, Asynch ports run at 115Kbps line rate (referred
to as 'low-speed serial ports').

The idea behind using such a piece of hardware in the 2600/3600 routers
is to make that specific router the "Terminal Server" to console into
all the other routers.

You could also connect back-to-back asynchs, I suppose, but I've never

RE: PATCH PANEL stuff [7:64503]

2003-03-05 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Sam- You're in for some fun.

If you try to move the patch panel, the only defining factor is the
length of the cables going to the panel.  You obviously can only move in
the direction in which the cables are coming from.  If you have some of
the cables coming from the bottom of the rack and the rest coming from
the top, you're going to have to pull the bottom cables or the top
cables, moved the panel, and then re-punch the cables that were pulled.
While moving the panel, any cables still attached should be zip-strapped
very securely to the panel all the way to the outside edge i.e.,
immobilizing the cables.  If you don't, you might as well remove and
re-punch them all.  Think of the issue as like that of the Telco
engineer in the CO or Panel box down in the hole... if is isn't
extremely careful (which they usually aren't), he's going to break a few
line pairs' connections ever so slightly while working on another pair
(which of course then causes your phone line or T1 to be down until the
returns to fix what he broke without realizing it).  Same premise for
the Ethernet cables.

Your best bet is to simply pull them all, and re-punch them.  It's time
consuming, but it does the job right the first time.  This still means
you need to move the panel in the direction of the cable (unless you
have a serious amount of excess cable for all of the cable runs coiled
up in the ceiling or the raised floor.

As far as how long it takes to punch them down- 10 to 30 seconds.
Labeling them as you pull them off the patch panel depends on if you are
using a P-touch labeler or hand-writing on some kind of tape.

As always, Your mileage may vary.

Subject: PATCH PANEL stuff [7:64503]

Hey Guys,
In my wiring closet, I have about 3 racks and about 10 patch panels(The
Racks got capacity for at least 30 PP's)

I need to move a patch panel out and to the rack next to the one it
currently is on. What is the best way to do this? Do i have to follow
this
kind of procedure:

-remove all the cables connected to the back of this patch panel and
then
label the cables
-move the patch panel to the other rack
-looking at the labels, again punch-down these cables to their
appropriate
locations.

Would this be the normal way of doing it? Or can I simply unscrew the
patch
panel from the rack and then somehow move it with the cables still
connected
to the other rack. This way, the cables won't be sorted as good as they
would be normally but it should be ok i think..

My other question is how long does it take on an average to punch down a
single cable(4pairs) onto the back of the patch panel? I've never done
it,
though I think after I buy the tools, I would be able to figure it out.
Please give me an approximation. For eg. Making a straight-cable takes
about
4-6 minutes

Thx
Sam

Can you even obtain an AS for BGP without a full Class C block of your
own??

I am inexperienced with BGP, but I would think that from my brief
readings of Howard's and others' postings in the last couple of years on
BGP, that you would have to have the ISPs do some sort of co-operative
setup for BGP routing the /27 block(s) you've been assigned.  I could be
totally wrong though.

That is correct

It is not a large setup (6-10 Servers with some MACs on the other side

quite unfamilar with it.

We were going to use short TTL's for the DNS and hope that the time out
would quickly redirect but it looks like that is probably not a good

Do you think we should go the BGP route?

Subject: ISDN switch (beyond simulator) [7:64628]

We've all dealt with ISDN simulators, that look like a CO to a single 
or small set of interfaces. I'm dealing with a situation where I need 
to interconnect several simulated training sites (i.e., physically in 
the same room) and telephony servers through a PSTN simulation.

In other words, I need a small CO switch, with the ability at least 
to interconnect several trunks (probably both T1 E&M and ISDN PRI), 
with a static calling plan among tens of telephones. The switch would 
emulate several end offices, plus the PSTN interoffice connectivity 
between them. For the latter, however, I don't need to have physical 
interoffice trunks as long as I can simulate their effect in a 
dialing plan.

The switch should also be able to simulate dedicated data links between
sites.

In the real world, this is no problem to do with off-the-shelf 
equipment that would support thousands of lines. Within the Cisco 
product line, I suspect I get close with an MGX or the like, but 
probably fall short in circuit-switch call supervision and routing.

Thoughts? I'm going to review my Nortel Passport documents to see if 
it has the loop supervision capabilities available; I vaguely 
remember a version that might.

JUST SO LONG AS: the hiring manager/HR Puppet doesn't require prior

OJT is not what it used to be in the 80's.  You got hired for more then
the ability to pass the basic math test.  You were hired because of your
aptitude proven in the interview.  Then you were sent to training
classes for the first several weeks of your new job.  Then you were

These days, there are reasons why they put the "must be able to work

Yeah, so maybe that's precisely the point.  They don't want guys to just

a bunch of stuff in a home lab and -presto- another CCIE comes out
without
ever having used the gear in a production environment in his life, and
thereby cheapening the value of the cert.  Perhaps they figure that if
they
require candidates to have a lot of hands-on experience with high-end

then most of the candidates will be employees of companies with large
networks, which was the precise target demographic of the CCIE in the
first
place.

Though I haven't done it myself, you should be able to keep the IAS box
(Windows 2000 Member Server) and the NT4PDC Box separate.

You're authentication AND access can be defined by the IAS box.

You would only need to allow RADIUS Ports...

1645 RADIUS Authentication 
1646 RADIUS Accounting

OR

1812 RADIUS server 
1813 RADIUS accounting

..on the PIX between the concentrator and the IAS box.

It would be more advisable to put the VPN Concentrator on the DMZ port
of the PIX if you have it; this is left to interpretation and opinion.

NOTE: I have no experience with the Concentrators, so, your mileage may

RE: PIX Firewall 6.2.2 Inside network can not reach DMZ hosts [7:69779]

2003-05-30 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Charles-
I could be wrong, but my interpretation of the doc's covering the Alias
command says that you can't have your cake and eat it too. :)

What I mean is, I don't believe you can DNS-Doctor and Destination-NAT
at the same time.  Like I said, I could be wrong.

>From what I understand, you need to do your translation with a static
command:

"Static (inside,dmz) 10.3.3.1 10.1.1.x netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0"

..and then set up your DNS-Doctor Alias.

"Alias (inside) 10.1.1.x 10.3.3.1 255.255.255.255"

Note:

Verify that the DNS server resolves your host/domain name to the global
IP address of the web server by issuing an nslookup command. The result
of the nslookup on the client PC should be the internal IP address of
the server (10.1.1.x), because the DNS reply gets doctored as it passes
through the PIX.

Also note that, for DNS fixup to work properly, proxy-arp has to be
disabled. If you are using the alias command for DNS fixup, disable
proxy-arp with the following command after the alias command has been
executed.

"sysopt noproxyarp internal_interface"

If you are also trying to maintain DNS integrity from the outside point
of view, I believe the 'DNS' keyword is all that is needed in the
following command (to allow the outside world to also reach the DMZ
host).

"Static (dmz,outside) 10.3.3.1 10.2.2.1 dns netmask 255.255.255.255"

Or, taking the concepts from the Alias Doc's, you could do this.

"Alias (outside) 10.2.2.1 10.3.3.1 255.255.255.255" ...but I think this
might be the older way of doing it.

Don't forget your ACL's so that DNS and whatever other services need to
be accessed on the DMZ host (one ACL for the Inside, one for the
Outside).

HTH's

Subject: PIX Firewall 6.2.2 Inside network can not reach DMZ hosts
[7:69756]

Hi, all,

I have a problem that is making me scream and shout, gonna knock myself
out.
It has to do with my PIX firewall configuration.

The long and short of my problem is that the inside network can only
reach
inside hosts and outside networks:  it can not reach any host on on the
DMZ,
depsite the fact that there are numerous statics and alias configured to
permit it to do so.

I have a 515 6.2 with the following networks configured:

Inside 10.1.1.0/24
Outside 10.2.2.0/24
DMZ 10.3.3.0/24

First, we have names for ServerA located on the DMZ network:

name 10.3.3.1 SERVERA_DMZ
name 10.2.2.1 SERVERA_OUTSIDE

ServerA actually is addressed with 10.3.3.1 because it is on the DMZ;
the
10.2.2.1 is its outside address (as well as being its registed DNS
name).


If an inside networker DNS queries for SERVERA, the following commands
are
supposed to swap the outside address for the DMZ address.  IN other
words,
intercept the DNS repy and change it so that the inside network will
then
establish a session to 10.3.3.1 (dmz address), not to 10.2.2.1 (outside
nat'ed address)

alias (inside) SERVERA_DMZ SERVERA_OUTSIDE 255.255.255.255
alias (inside) SERVERA_OUTSIDE SERVERA_DMZ 255.255.255.255

Initial DNS tests shows that this is not happening:  the inside network
DNS
requeries are getting outside addresses.

Compounding the problem is translation process itself.  The below states
that when Inside networks go to the DMZ network, PAT their address to
10.3.3.9, excepting those sessions listed in ACL 100 (which upon
checking do
not affect the tranlation in this particular case).

nat (inside) 0 access-list 100
nat (inside) 1 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 0 0

global (DMZ) 1 10.3.3.9 netmask 255.255.255.0


So, in a happy world,  the inside network should DNS query for SERVERA,
the
PIX should intercept replies and change to a DMZ address (alias), and
NAT
should then translate as appropriate.

In the words of Larry King, it ain't happening, gang...and I don't know
why.
I beseech, oh, Group of Infinite Wisdom, for you assistance.

As a closer, my problems started when I upgraded to 6.3.1...what a
mistake.
I have since downgraded it back to 6.2, and have checked and rechecked
the
config...there are no commands missing.

TIA,

Charles

As I had said in my last post, in analyzing his syntax, it appears he's
trying to do Destination NAT and DNS Doctoring at the same time, for which
it obviously doesn't work.

I couldn't tell you if line 2 is auto-reversing what line 1 does by the
PIX's operating code, but you are correct that only one line is needed.
>From what I gathered of the documentation, he also needed to do a second
Alias statement against the DMZ interface, or he needed to do a Static
statement utilizing the DNS keyword; example:

Charles/Mark,

No infinate wisdom i'm afraid - just my #0.2.

Is it because the statements below effectively do nothing due to the fact
the statement 2 undoes what statement one has just done ?
[or have i missed the point.]

1)alias (inside) SERVERA_DMZ SERVERA_OUTSIDE 255.255.255.255 
2)alias (inside) SERVERA_OUTSIDE SERVERA_DMZ 255.255.255.255 

I would have thought that you would only need the statement one - why do you
need to reverse what you did in statement one fro the hosts on the inside
net ?

RE: Virtual MAC and Port Security [7:70030]

2003-06-03 Thread Mark W. Odette II
David- it's been a while since I did this, but from what I understand
you to say, you are trying to provide fault tolerance (fail-over) at the
NIC level for these servers.

I can't vouch for the 6500s, but on the 5500s that I used to manage, we
used Intel NICs in a "teaming" fashion (which was to provide said fault
tolerance).  These NICs had their FastEthernet cables going to each
switch respectively. (4 NICs in each Server, 2 CAT5500's to plug into).

The virtual mac's of the Teaming group was plugged into the port
security table on the CATs.  The CATs were also Trunk'd together via
GBICs, so STP would block one Fast-Ether-Channel group of NIC cables on
one switch while allowing the other group to operate.

So, the short of it is, I believe you'll have to set up an EtherChannel
with the NIC Pool(s) and it's assumed that you already are Trunking
between your 6500's for backbone redundancy.  Port Security should be
straight forward- just one Virtual-MAC per NIC Pool to be plugged into
the MAC Security Table, and reference the security mac table on the
ports you want to enable port security.

It's been a couple of years since I did this, so hopefully I remembered
all the steps required. YMMV :)

I have several Servers that are going to be doing NIC pooling.  So I'm
supposed to see a virtual MAC address instead of the actual physical

of the NIC's.  I run the NICs from one server to different switches for
fault tolerance.  If I have several 6500 series switches how can I set

RE: number of CCIE [7:70151]

2003-06-07 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Here's a question for those recruiters, headhunters and HR People- Out of
CCIE 1025-, how many of them do you think are still actively with the
program, still working in the industry, still are at the top of their game
(i.e., could go back in and take the OLD LAB again), and are the Crhme of
the crop that they have so valued them as??!?!?!

There are reasons of human physiology and psychology that proves that the
old saying is true... If you don't keep practicing a skill or knowledge
through repetition, you simply will loose your "edge".  My hat is off to
CCIE #1058 if he can still complete the OLD LAB blind folded and run circles
around CCIE #10,269 in regards to the complex multi-protocol setup of
DECNet, IPX, SNA, IP (w/ BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), and AppleTalk for a 8-10+ router
network that was the result of 2 or more multi-hundred-thousand-node
companies merging.  But I must insert my own pessimism that I seriously
doubt this is the case.  This could be for any number of reasons, but I'm
sure the number one reason is that it was too time-consuming and expensive
to maintain such "prestige".  Not to mention, they probably got laid off for
one reason or another in the past 3-5 years.

Headhunters and Recruiters are more arrogant than those CCIE's that have
been minted in the past 24 months.  And they've been that way for at least
the last decade.  An engineer with Blah-blah-blah certifications is nothing
but a potential for them making a huge commission for "hooking up" that
engineer with the employer.  And because of this arrogance, they have these
BS ideals that CCIE# 6328 is truly expert, and CCIE #10524 doesn't deserve
the respect of knowing much more than how to power on a piece of Cisco
equipment.  To put in your analogy format, that's like saying the M.D. that
got his PHD 20 years ago, but got bored with continually going back to those
medical conferences and continued education on advances in medical science
is more preferential than the Doctor that has been practicing medicine for
only the past 3 years.  I bet is that the older Doc is going to continue
performing "tried and true" procedures that have a greater risk of failure
or permanent damage of some sort (could be scars, amputated limb, etc.) than
the younger Doc that is current with procedures that result in more
favorable outcomes for the same medical situations.

NRF- You've said yourself in the past that Cisco has changed the CCIE
program for financial reasons, be it for increased revenue or wiser
financial efficiency in maintaining the equipment, facilities, etc.  What
about simple relevance?  True, not as many routing protocol technologies are
being tested on... but they make up for that by testing on new technologies
such as Voice, Security, etc.   So, because Cisco tests on new technologies,
that makes it acceptable for the "market" and all those Headhunters,
Recruiters, and HR folks to deem the CCIE not as valuable as it once was?!?
They obviously have a jaded/ill-informed point of reference in comparing the
"old" with the "new".

Out of curiosity, just exactly what are the names of all these "brain-dump"
groups/sites that make the CCIE LAB a cake-walk?!?  If they are so common
knowledge, I have a hard time believing that Cisco would allow them to
continue operating.  I'm sure Mr. Chambers is intelligent enough to look
ahead and realize he would be preempting the demise of his own company if
his company perpetuated the cycle of braindump-prepared CCIEs will equal
less positive reputation for support and value of the products themselves. 
Or in more simplistic terms, surely he's smart enough to foresee the
cause-and-effect scenario of allowing hundreds of CCIE's to be minted per
month.

If the economy is so dismal for a majority (read 70%+) of the country,
especially the IT industry, just exactly how are all these New CCIE's
affording to pay for braindump memberships, Bootcamps, rack rentals and/or
personal lab purchases to prepare for the O-so-easy CCIE LAB?!?!  I guess my
point is, I must be continuing to perpetuate myself in this little naove
bubble that makes me have a hard time believing/accepting the CCIE program
is being overran in record time with wannabe CCIE's that just simply
"bought" their certification rather than earning it.

Give us some facts that can give merit to the "free market's" delusion that
Computer Networking isn't worth the nickel it used to be.  And yes, I
believe the "free market" is under delusional control.  Most of which has
been perpetuated by the "Dot.Bomb" era (which has been nothing but
pessimistic influence of the US Media [and yes, I know part of it was a
result of bad financial decisions by some start-up companies and some of the
Telco's, but the ripple affects caused in short by the media is why all the
other businesses have experienced demise]).  Real Estate and Oil had its
"big boom" period too, but that hasn't seemed to have had an affect on the
purchases of houses and gas in the past 15 years..

RE: number of CCIE [7:70151]

2003-06-09 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Ok, just so you'll(NRF) be happy.

I, for one, would NOT want to trade my Higher Number CCIE designation
for a lower number designation.  Call me stupid, ignorant, clueless,
whatever... but I simply do not see the "value" in having a lower
number.  To me, they are all the same- every last number issued (and
yes, I'm being brutally honest with you and myself, as I don't know of
any other way:-]).  It's the person maintaining the certification that
has to answer to the rest of the CCIE clan when they don't maintain the
expertise.

And just so you know, all those recruiters, HR folk, and the such get
their ideas/beliefs about the "value"/credibility of ANY certification
from hear-say, colleagues that don't necessarily have the true low-down
on the subject themselves, advertising and individuals that perpetuate a
statement such as "Certification X is not worth the paper it's written
on because more often than not the individual holding said Certification
probably doesn't have the skill to back it up".

I have met my fair share of individuals that did not have the skills
that their certifications indicated they had, and I have also met my
fair share of individuals that were top notch, but I don't have the
mentality of already deciding that "well, 'they' all say the MCSE is
just a paper-cert and isn't worth a dime, so I wasted my time getting
mine" nor do I behave the same for my CCNP certification.  I DO believe
though that with the "market" and "economy" the way it is, that even
though there are 100,000 souls that have acquired the MCSE designation
and approx. 40,000 (not an exact number- I couldn't find it on Cisco's
site) souls have acquired the CCNP designation, that there simply are
not that many individuals still pursuing IT careers.  So, I'm not too
entirely concerned with competition.  I think the real issue at hand for
hire-ability is simply a question of how cheap the next HR/Recruiter
wants to hire the IT engineer for.  But of course, hasn't that always
been the case!?!?! :-)

Bottom line (for me at least) is that I am comfortable with my
certifications, as I earned them fair and square (read no cheat-sheets,
brain dumps, etc.), and I'll feel the same way for the CCIE when I
obtain it.  If the HR/Recruiter Dolt wants to get picky with my
"Numbers", I'll simply insist upon the hiring manager providing a
technical interview to verify my skills.  If I don't even get the
benefit of the request because the HR/Recruiter Dolt tossed my
Resume/Application in the trash based solely on this lack of "lower
numbers" BS, then that company wasn't worth working for anyway.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to trying to obtain my
High-Number CCIE designation (which will take at least another year).

-Oh, yeah, and one more thing, I seem to have a keen knack for
troubleshooting, so I think I'm gonna fit right in with the likes of
those "lower number" CCIEs that may or may not feel like I am as good as
them because I only had a 1-day LAB.  They simply have an insecurity
issue to deal with, so they can just get over it.  We have networks to
maintain.

This has been an entertaining thread, but the way I see it is this.
Maybe
the high/low CCIE would work with the headhunters and that is a
different
story, but we have interviewed/employed a number of IT guys over the
past
couple of months, CCIE's included and to be honest I do not look to the
CCIE
number for a reference of technical ability (I do look that it is a
valid
CCIE number). The candidates that we interview complete a test, written
and
lab, tiered in difficulty. We make an evaluation based on experience,
team
orientation, and test/lab results. There is no pressure to answer or
complete the test/lab however that is how we determine the level/tier of
the
prospective candidate, not the CCIE number. That is just how we do it.

Uh, how's that?  At the end of the day you are refusing to deal with the

such a thing as a guy with bad character having good motives?  Or vice

Look, the bottom line is this.  I don't question your motives or your

Why do you keep insisting on telling me what my own focus is?  Don't you
think I would know the focus of my own posts?   When have I said in this
particular thread that all certifications were worthless?

In fact, you could easily say quite the opposite - I have said several
times
that certain certifications, namely low-number CCIE's, are in fact quite
valuable.  So how does that jive with your accusation that I am somehow
painting all certifications as worthless, when in fact I have singled
out a
certification subset as worthy?


Oh, but I get it, you keep insisting that I am actually bashing all
certs as
a "stealth undercurrent thesis", despite the fact that I think everybody
in
this ng would agree that I don't exactly "do" stealth.  If I want to say
something, I'm going to say it.

Here's an idea, Jack.  Instead of debating me on what you believe the
undercurrents of my words are saying, why not debate me on what I'm
ACTUALLY
saying?  To do otherwise is really to engage in that character
assassination
and shooting-of-the-messenger that is simply uncouth.

Anil-

I'll try to take a stab at this...

For your network:
Verify that you are not experiencing packet loss on the uplink from your
Procurve switch to the Cisco Router.  Make sure you have the speed and
duplex setting hard-coded on each end.

Aside from that, I would look into congestion management, as you may
need to implement CBWFQ on the Router (assuming that the telnet sessions
have lag, and are having to cross the T1 circuit.  I seriously doubt
this would be the issue on the Ethernet/FastEthernet interface.  In
fact, if Telnet is lagging from inside the network and the only device
that has to be crossed is the switch, I'd check the connection between
the Linux box and the switch, as well as the Subnet Mask/Default Gateway
to ensure those are set correctly.

For the friend's network:
See "aside from that,..." comment above.

Subject: Network Lag on Cisco? [7:70648]

Our network is running a 3640 as a core router and several other smaller
routers plus an HP Procurve for the Servers and LAN.  We run BGP across
two
upstream networks.  Now, for a long time we have had a slight lag on our
network.  For example, whenever I am logged into our Linux servers, I
will
be typing something and I will lose the cursor, then suddenly a bunch of
letters will appear at the cursor.  There are other examples.  We have
hunted up and down and not found a problem/solution.

Now comes the interesting part.  A friend of mine who has been running
Linux
for years used a Linux machine as a router for the last 3.5 years.  At
my
urging he decided to try a Cisco because his server was getting old and
needed an overhaul.  Yesterday he did and now has the same problem.  His
config is very simple - he has a 2640 router running IOS 12.1 - one T-1
and
one Ethernet port to which he has connected his Dialup equipment (he is
a
Dialup ISP).

What gives?  He is now bad mouthing Cisco even more than he did before!

RE: Cisco exam 9E0-111 or 642-521 [7:71048]

2003-06-21 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Kailash-

Your answers are best answered by contacting Cisco at the Certification
and Training number (see website for number).

As far as the question of which test to take, it's simple.  If 9E0-111
expires Sept. 30, and you are still pursuing the Firewall Specialist
cert, then you have to take whatever exam is available- it's that
simple.  If an exam is indicated to expire by X Date, that means it
won't be offered after that date.  The logical step (in my opinion) is
to take the newest exam, so that you will have the most current exam on
your record.  This ensures that you will not be behind the curve on
Cisco's certification track updates that may make a certain Cert Title
obsolete/expire in a time table that you aren't satisfied with
accepting.

As far as test difficulty, that varies by test taker.  If you are well
experienced in the technology, then you'll obviously do well on the
exam.  If you are not so familiar with it, then you'll either pass by a
slim margin, or you'll simply fail.  My motto is: Don't take the exam
until you really know the subject material like the back of your hand.

Just my 2 cents.

Hope your questions were answered satisfactorily.

Dear All,
I am planing to go for Cisco firewall exam, as of now
two exams are available there 9E0-111 and 642-521 I am
bit confused which one should I opt. other doubt I
have is if I opt for exam 9E0-111, as per the site it
will expire on 30 September but would it be valid for
me to complete the security certification or I would
have to go for the 642-521 again if I want to get the
CISCO Firewal expert certificate after 30 September.
Also I have the CSPFA 2.0 book how difficult it is to
pass any of these exam by reading this book. I would
also want to know which exam is good and more
practical/realistic. Would you suggest any test exam
for this (I am a CCNP certified) how difficult would
it be to pass this for an average exprienced person.

Thanks in advance for all your inputs.

Hi all, I don't normally have anything to actively contribute, so I just
lurk and learn. But, we have one now that may generate interesting

3725
routers. The internal DSU has BNC connections to the DS3. We are using
PPP
protocol. While testing everything seems fine until approaching
200-300kbps.
The traffic is HTTP and HTTPS. The routers crash when the slightest
stress
of traffic. The symptoms are constant for both the primary and the
secondary
routers. TFTP traffic through internal interfaces cause no problems,
only
traffic that is outbound through the DSUs towards the DS3. The IOS

Ball-park figures aren't lies, as so long as they are indicated as

It's not a lie if you just simply state/indicate what the average figure

So, if someone can contribute such an answer, let them do so.  I'm sure

So basically, you want us to lie, eh?  ;->.  

Seriously, CCIE salaries have been down for awhile and any honest
discussion
about salaries is going to be necessarily negative.  When something's
black,
it would be a lie to call it white.

As far as the original question, so much depends on your experience
level,
the geographical location, things like holding a degree (or not).
Strong
candidates that have lots of experience, are well educated, and are in
places can still pull nice salaries.  But I'm also aware of CCIE's
applying
for positions that pay less than 30k - and not getting them.  The point
is
that the CCIE by itself guarantees nothing.

RE: PIX License Help! [7:56060]

50 == 50, not 50 == 80... 

150+ users can be behind a PIX 501 with a 50 user license enablement,
but only a maximum of 50 concurrent higher-security zone ip hosts can
conduct communications across the "internet"/least-secure interface of
the PIX.

AFAIK, all other PIX models only have the restricted/unrestricted
specification for connection licensing... and don't quote me on this,
but I believe the Restricted License covers 10,000 concurrent
connections through the "internet"/least-secure interface.

RE: Lock out by PIX [7:56342]

2002-10-25 Thread Mark W. Odette II
... to keep from being locked out, you should remove the crypto map from
the interface, i.e., "no crypto map  interface outside".

This will kill any new crypto sessions from being initiated, and I am
not sure if it also kills the current crypto sessions, but it will keep
you from being locked out.  If you don't do this, you will experience
the problem you are having.  The PIX is still functioning, and doing its
job, its just doing its job extra well now because it has no crypto
definitions to run against in its process of analyzing packets coming in
from the outside.

Bounce the PIX (by calling someone to do it for you), and you should
have your access restored.

I don't have an answer to your question, though it does sound like a DoS
attack to me...

My only input is that if you are running NT 4.0 Servers, definitely
ensure they are running Service Pack 6a, which you can get from MS's
site.  Also, if you are running Exchange, make sure you have SP 4
installed, as it fixes several issues relating to some critical Exchange
functions.  For more info, review the release notes for both service
packs before installing.

Let us know what the ISP's security folks find... this would be an

heys,

ran into something interesting today.  not sure if it is a dos attack or
if
it
indicates an ip stack misconfig. here is the symptom:

periodically through the day today we received 100,000 packet bursts on
a t-1
circuit.  this is a name-brand provider.  when the burst occurs it is
from
the
same ip address.  on some bursts the packets are all acks.  on others
they
are
all fin acks.  they are directed at our email servers.  when they occur
the
packets in a burst are all sourced from the same ip address.  in the one
case
where we resolved the ip address back it was another orgs email server. 
based
on the router interface stats the traffic is coming from the outside and
is
not an internal broadcast storm.

per the ms site, "A default-configured Windows NT 3.5x or 4.0 computer
will
retransmit the SYN-ACK 5 times, doubling the time-out value after each
retransmission."   if the same logic holds for other parts of the
handshake
then i'm at a loss to explain tens of thousands of packets unless it is
an
exploit of a weakness in the stack that allows for virtually unlimited
retries.

anyone run into this kind of situation before and was the resolution a
service
pack or other such server upgrade?  it caused considerable slowness on
external accesses as you might imagine.  i grabbed a number of traces
documenting it and we did contact our provider (they opened a ticket
with
their security folk).

RE: how to telnet to other FROM PIX? [7:56435]

2002-10-29 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Kenny,

...Never had working on a PIX that didn't have any Encryption installed,
I wouldn't know if it is absolutely true that you have to have it just
to use the GUI, but if the requirements are such, then you need to go
onto Cisco's website and apply for the free DES license key.

After that, if you want to connect to a remote PIX using the GUI, you
will need to follow the cook-book solution Cisco has posted on CCO for
establishing a VPN tunnel between the two PIXen in question, and then
you can use the GUI to remotely manage the other PIX.  Your best bet is
to just forget about the GUI for now, and set up SSH on each PIX, and
connect using that.  Learn the CLI well, and then use the GUI for all it
really is good for- Monitoring functions.

My biggest pet peeve is that the GUI does not support ALIAS commands in
your PIX config... as well as a few other items like the such that are
more advanced.

For the time setting, just set the clock using the following syntax:

Usage:  clock set  {  |  } 

clock summer-time  recurring [   
   ] []

clock summer-time  date {  |  } 
 {  |  }  
[]

no clock summer-time

clock timezone   []

no clock timezone

Hope that helps.

RE: PIX site-to-site VPN question... [7:57648]

2002-11-18 Thread Mark W. Odette II
The only way that you could put private addresses on the OUTSIDE
interface of the PIX (Site A), and still successfully set up a Tunnel to
another PIX across the internet that is behind an edge router of your
own control (Site B), is to build a GRE Tunnel between the Edge Routers.

EX: Public Addresses
PIX1(outside)(e0)R1(e1)-INTERNET(e1)R2(e0)-(outside)PIX2
Pvt. Addresses  G  R  E  Tunnel Pvt. Addresses

If you tried to set up NAT on the two Edge Routers to Static Translate
for the PIX Hosts on their outside interfaces, the Tunnel would never
establish.  Even though you would define the Crypto Peer as a public
address, when the packet arrives at the far side, it would have the
private address headers, and thus the tunnel would never come up, and is
why you would need a GRE Tunnel between the two routers to use private
addresses between the two PIXen end-points.


I have set up the scenario you speak of in production, but the ISP
assigned a /30 for the routers connecting to the ISP, AND they assigned
/27's for the customer's own use.  So, with this, I configured the S0
interfaces of each router as part of the /30's, and configured the Fa0
interfaces of the Routers and the Pix Outside interfaces as hosts in the
/27 blocks that were assigned to each site, while creating a PAT pool
and NAT statics for appropriate hosts behind the PIX.  The "Inside"/DMZ
side of the PIXen were configured with RFC1918 addresses.  Site to Site
VPN's were established using the Public IP addresses on the "Outside"
interface of each PIX.

i did mean to use a /29 in my example.  i used that b/c if i was only

You have to use the public ip addresses as I stated in my last email
private is non routeable on the net, though I have seen sprint route
private by mistake from time to time :)

But that is not what confused me, what is confusing me is your ip
addressing problem do you have one? A /29 is a 255.255.255.248 subnet
mask which will give you 6 usable addresses. So I am not sure I see a
problem unless you want to use private on the outside then yes you have

if both of the outside interfaces of the PIX's use 192.168.x.x

statement?  if it's the 192.168.x.x address of the other PIX's outside
interface, how does the PIX know how to get there?  you follow?

the perimeter router doesn't route private addresses, so how would it
know how to get to the other PIX?

that's why i'm assuming that the public addressing has to include to the
PIX outside interfaces, but if this is so, how do you configure the
perimeter router?

Without having done this, I could be wrong, but from your excerpt "You
can think of the ephones with the numbers that were assigned to the
ephone-dn's as FXS ports on the routers.", I would say then that all you
have to do is create your dial-plan, and then define VOIP Dial-peers
with the destination target being the IP address of the IP Phones.  If
it is that simple, then you will up and running in a heartbeat.

Be sure and look at cisco's router to router (FXS to FXS) dial-peer
samples to get an idea of your syntax.  You may have to play around with
voice quality settings though.

Good luck

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_configuration_e
xample09186a00800ffdcc.shtml#background

The router (3640,etc) utilizes the ITS feature set to act as the call
manager for the network and create a small IP Key system without a few
of
the call manager features that I don't need in this case.  And yes I
want
to use the 79xx phones behind the switch that I didn't mention is behind
the
router.  I will use the FXO
ports on the router to plug the incoming lines into.  The page shows
everything from how to do hold music to how to configure the phones XML
interface.  However it leaves out the PSTN setup section which is where
I'm stuck at.  I think I can do a session target to the ephone-dn but
I'm
not sure of the syntax.

"Configuring the PSTN Connection on the Cisco ITS Router
Assuming that the ITS router has voice interface cards, you will now
want
to configure those cards so that calls can be placed to and from the IP

interfere
with the learning process? Unfortunately, I have been in far too many
classrooms where the non sequeters and the digressions take too much
away
from the topics that most students are there to learn.

CL: besides - other than the fact that there is such a thing as cat 5
cable,
what more needs to be said, particularly in a routing class? should the
teacher stop and discuss the intricacies - the history of twisted pair,
the
different TP categories, the number of twists per inch, the low down
ieee
standard, the physics of the wire? because that's really the answer to
the

Check your subnet masks for each computer.
Either specify Computer B as the default gateway for Computer A and
vice-versa, or don't specify a default gateway at all.

After that, you have to configure the lmhosts/hosts files if you want to
resolve machine names between each other (quickly).

Verify that your cross-over cable is good, or plug each computer into a
hub/switch.

It's that simple.

RE: I seems Confused.....Peer-to-to TCP/IP Network [7:58255]

2002-11-29 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Oletu-
What you are trying to do is not impossible.  Many of us do this all the
time to migrate data from one machine to another without burdening the
Hub-based LAN or if the computer is all by itself and is being upgraded.
Case in point is the situation where a Win9x/Pentium 166Mhz workstation
is being replaced with a Windows XP/Pentium III 1.8Ghz workstation...
NetBEUI isn't a protocol option on XP, as it isn't supported anymore-
So, it's TCP/IP or IPX!

Configuration of each computer is correct; the fact that you can operate
with success running NetBEUI says that your physical layer is also
solid, i.e., NIC's and Cross-over cable.

Next thing to do is (for informational purposes) to 'route print' or a
'netstat -r' at the command line to determine the TCP/IP stack has
proper routing information.  Optionally issue the 'nbtstat -c' or
'nbtstat -r' to see if you are getting any netbios caching...

After collecting this information, I would remove the TCP/IP protocol,
reboot, reinstall TCP/IP protocol, install most recent SP for OS, and
test again...  If that doesn't resolve the problem, then seek out
replacement drivers for the NIC(s).

This pretty much addresses every possibility of failure between two
Windows-based computers that are directly connected to each other with a
cross-over cable.

... One other thought- You wouldn't have some kind of personal firewall
installed/previously installed on either one of these computers by
chance, would you!?!?!

I have seen all kinds of crazy stuff occur on MS boxes that had had any
of the different flavors of "Personal Firewalls" installed, which
usually required complete removal of the TCP/IP protocol, and then
sifting through the networking portion of the registry to recover the
machine.  The alternative was to reinstall the OS from scratch.  The
firewalls in question were the Norton Personal Firewall, the Network
Associates Desktop Firewall, BlackIce, and one other I can't recall the
name of.  Just some extra info to chew on for possibility.

Good luck, and let us know what you find...

Hi Mark,

I have done all that. The crossover cable is okay. NeTBEUI is working
fine.
I can see both computers through Network Neigbourhood; copy files from
one
computer to the other. Everthing about NetBEUI is kool. I have alos
edited
the hosts/lmhost files on each computer (this only help to resolve the
IP
Address to the netbios name.)

IP addresses are Computer A=192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 and Computer
B=192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0

On Computer A, I can ping 192.168.0.1, localhost and 127.0.0.1 and it
will
response fine. On Computer B, I can also ping 192.168.0.2, localhost and
127.0.0.1 and it will response fine. (TCP/IP stack seems perfectly
installed)!!!

But I cannot ping A from B, neither can I ping B from A.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever done and it is messing me up.

Or is it impossible?

there have been well documented problems with NIC's of various sorts. so

It has nothing to do with N.O.S; it has to do with what the MANUFACTURER

... and as far as I know, if it is supported on *nix, it definitely is
supported on M$.  The CHIPSET of the NIC depicts what type of VLAN

The same is true for the ASICs in the Routers and Switches, which is why

RE: FXO ports to connect two PBX's [7:58410]

2002-12-02 Thread Mark W. Odette II
If you have FXS ports on the PBX, then the answer is yes; but as far as
I know, you will either have FXO or E&M ports on the PBX, which means
you need FXS ports on the Routers for the FXO "Cross-Connect", or E&M
ports to cross-connect to the E&M ports on the PBX... don't quote me on
the E&M ports though... it's been quite a while since I looked into E&M
configurations... :)

Of course, once you put the FXS ports on the Routers, you'll need to
develop a dial-plan for routing between the two routers over the FR
link(s).

Good Luck!

A loop could exist at the physical layer too. A newbie could connect the
hubs in such a way that there was a loop. And it could indeed cause problems
due to the fact that a hub doesn't make any intelligent decisions about what
it forwards, as you say, and doesn't participate in higher-layer
loop-avoidance solutions such as STP, Dijkstra, split horizon, etc. There
would be nothing to stop the looping bits. The very idea makes me cringe.
:-)

It's kind of funny that nobody thinks about this. A network of hubs must be
designed in a hierarchical fashion. I guess that is just second-nature to
people who grew up with hubs.

When hubs entered the market they allowed us to move away from the
ubiquitous bus topology and into a star (hub-and-spoke) topology. They
allowed us to start using the structured cabling that AT&T and other vendors
were starting to install, rather than the Christmas-tree-lights topology so
popular with coax cable and so prone to problems. As networks grew, it
became necessary to connect multiple hubs. The term that was often used was
"cascating hubs." Hubs cascaed from other hubs, within the rules related to
Ethernet propagation delay and collision detection.

Elping, 
Please do NOT make any statements regarding CheckPoint Firewall without 
knowing all the facts.  I've been working with both Checkpoint and Pix
firewalls.  I
even build a few "franken" pix firewalls so that I can learn as much as
I
can about
Cisco Pix firewalls.  The "franken" pix firewall actually help me landed
my
current job
that pays 100k/year.  Both CheckPoint and Pix firewalls have its
strength
and
weaknesses.  I agree that Cisco TAC is much superior than CheckPoint
support.
The "no text configuration" that you refer to in CheckPoint, you must be
refered to
running CheckPoint on Winblows platforms.  NEVER RUN FIREWALL ON A 
GENERAL PURPOSE OPERATING SYSTEM.  If you worry about cost, check out 
CheckPoint SecurePlatform.  If you are "unix" literate, does the term
"tcpdump"
mean anything to you?  That's how you troubleshoot my friend. 
Now if you are talking about cost, Cisco Pix will beat CheckPoint by a
long
shot in
term of performance for your $.  However, for a small/medium business,
Checkpoint
does come with a lot of features such as URL filtering (native), http
load
balancing,
etc which Pix doesn't have (without 3rd party products).  For enterprise
environment,
CheckPoint does come with ClusterXL (aka, load-sharing or Active/Active
Firewall),
which again, Pix doesn't support.  Last but not least, CheckPoint does
have 
a very nice Management piece called "provider-1" that Cisco Pix doesn't
have.
I do have to say that the price for CP products is totally "outrageous";
however, CP
is a good product. 
In terms of hardware product, you can run CheckPoint on Nokia Platforms
which is
very stable and proven product.  New version of Nokia firewalls do come
with 
Flash instead of hard-drive so that the reliability is very high.  Nokia
is
a big partner
with CP.  You can get CP support if you purchase Nokia firewalls from
Nokia.  Nokia
TAC is just as good as Cisco TAC. 
I've completed my first week at my new job as a Security Engineer and I
am
amazed
at the # of Cisco Certified folks at my company that are completely
incompetent and
downright clueless at what they can do.  We are a consulting company and
being in
the consulting business, you are forced to know pretty much about
everything.
I have a couple of CCIEs in the office came to me and ask me how to
restart 
sendmail and postfix (we are a linux shop) in linux.  Another CCIE asked
me
how to
use "nmap" in unix.  The last one is down right funny, one CCIE asked
how to
start
Apache in Solaris.  It just seems to me like R&S are all they know and
nothing else.
We also do R&S here but at these times, demands for those have not been
that 
great.  Therefore, we have to branch into other things such as Security
(PIX,
CheckPoint, Wireless, IDS, etc...) 
I brought these issues to my boss attention last wednesday and on
thursay he 

ordered me to 'clean' house.  The first thing I did was to send "pink"
slips
to all

4 CCIEs in the group and told them that they are fired because they
don't
know

anything other than R&S.  They were making $130k/year and sucking almost
all
of

our budget.  

My advice to everyone out there is to keeping learning other things in
addition to

the R&S.  The market for CCIEs is not as good as it used to be.  You
better
know

other things especially Unix and Firewalls than just merely R&S.  There
will
be lot

of good peopel competing for the same jobs and the only way you can show
the 

potential employers that you are better than the other guy is by showing
them that

you know other things not just R&S.

RE: PIX and the Activation Key [7:59574]

2002-12-19 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Depending on the version of PIX code the unit is running, you might not
have to do too much.

First, go to your PIX, and issue the 'Show Version' command.  If you are
running 6.1 or higher (I believe), you can go into config mode and issue
the 'activation-key' command followed by the 4 sets of alpha-numeric
characters.  This will "install" the 3DES license on the PIX.  The
alpha-numerics you enter are not derived from the "official-looking
document".  Rather, you are supposed to go onto the CCO site, and under
the PIX registration page, you will have a link for requesting your PIX
Activation Code.  You submit the Serial Number of the PIX (found on the
back or bottom of the unit) and the alpha-numerics found on the
"document".  In return, you'll receive an email with the activation
code.  That activation code is what you enter at the PIX console.

Now, all the code acquisition process aside, if you are running an older
version of PIX OS, then you have to tftp the PIX OS to a tftp or http
server, and then pull it back from the tftp/http server while in ROMMON
mode.  This basically is like you're installing the PIX OS.  At the end
of the download process to the PIX, and right after you reboot it,
you'll be prompted to enter new activation keys.  This is where you
enter the alpha-numerics acquired from Cisco via Email.

I have been given the opportunity to install/configure a new
506E pix
firewall
which our client had purchased from another supplier.
Configuring it to provide basic connectivity seemed somewhat
linear (I
will
not be using any IPsec features ;) ), the client had also
purchased a
168
bit
licence key.
Ok, my question is, what am I supposed to do with this serial
number
provided
on a (official-looking) document that accompanied the pix?
I thought the pix would prompt me for an activation key after
booting
the
flash, as explained in this url,

ion_g
uide_chapter09186a0080089812.html#xtocid38 ?
however, it booted up normally into the default prompt (
pixfirewall> ).

RE: PIX and the Activation Key [7:59610]

If you chose the "Register for purchased Feature Upgrade..." (which is
found on the link that follows) and was then prompted with the output
listed below the link, then you were in the correct place.  You have to
register the 3DES license you purchased.  To register the license, you
have to provide the CCO Account information of the client who purchased
the Firewall (Firewall has to be registered to the owner of the
firewall, and thus the owner has to have their own CCO Account).  The
exception to this rule is if your company is providing managed services
for the firewall, which includes you providing the firewall appliance
yourself.

www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/browse/psp_view.pl?p=Hardware:PIX&s=Softwa
re_Configuration

"License Registration

This page is for use when you have purchased and received a PIX Firewall
Connection Count or Feature License Upgrade. New PIX owners do not need
to use this page - only those users who have purchased a Connection
Count or Feature License Upgrade."

The part about New PIX owners is deceiving because it should indicate
that the rule applies to new PIX owners that purchased the firewall as a
3DES bundle with the 3DES Licensing already installed.  You still have
to register the PIX to your company/client's company, which should
automatically associate the 3DES licensing with your unit by Serial
Number of the unit itself.  If it doesn't, then you still have to
register the 3DES License.  If you still have to register, it's
recommended that you contact customer service to assist with the
registration.

My bet is (from experience) that you will have to go through the
registration page mentioned above, and then follow the installation
procedure mentioned in my previous post for activating the 3DES license.

Just a note- When you issue the Show Version command on the PIX, it
should give you a list of features Enabled or Disabled.  If you see
Enabled following to the right of the 3DES entry, then you know for sure
your 3des license has been installed.  An example follows:

Licensed Features:
Failover:   Disabled
VPN-DES:Enabled
VPN-3DES:   Enabled***
Maximum Interfaces: 2
Cut-through Proxy:  Enabled
Guards: Enabled
URL-filtering:  Enabled
Inside Hosts:   10
Throughput: Limited
IKE peers:  5

This is from my PIX 501 with 3DES License installed.

HTH's,

Mark

then I would format the flash, and then tftp a new copy of the IOS image

Subject: RE: Possible Attack [7:59813]

I was finally able to track down the infected PC's (yes, more than one).
Below is a brief description of what occurred and the fix.  First,
thanks to
all that responded to me.  

As previously mentioned, I had an attack on a customer of mines network
that
was showing up as follows:

SrcIfSrcIPaddressDstIfDstIPaddressPr  SrcP DstP
Pkts
Fa0/1127.0.0.124 Se1/2.500108.122.0.0 00     285


The above capture is just 1 of a few hundred packets similar to it and
all
coming from a different source address on the 127.0.0.0 network.  The
amount
of traffic was so large that at times it peaked to over 20MB and as a
result
it overran my WAN interfaces causing BGP to flap / reconverge.  Just
when
BGP got a chance to come back up and learned all 115000 routes, the
attack
occured again and the links would flap.  

Pingging the 127.0.0.x IP address from the edge router where the attack
was
initially spotted did not give me any replies.  All I got were U.  I
was
also not able to ping the broadcast address as all it gave me was U
(unreachables) as well.  There was no ARP entries on that router for
that
IP.  I ended up enabling Netflow on the edge router (what you see above)
in
order to get more detail of what was going on.  I got to see what
interface
it was coming in on so I applied an access-list on the router to filter
out
these packets. That allow the router and bgp to stabilize.  The next
thing
was to move on to the switch that was connected to this FA0/1 interface.
This switch has a router module,  I ended up doing the same thing as I
did
on the edge router except this time I also connected to the sc0
interface
and I enabled one port as the mirroring port on the switch and placed a
PC
with Etherreal to monitor everything that was destined to 108.122.0.0
and I
finally got a MAC address.  I issued the show CAM command on the switch
and
it told me where it came from which was another switch.  I moved on to
that
other switch. The MAC address that was being reported was the MSM route
module of that switch.  I enabled netflow on it as well and I was able
to
see the vlan that the attack was coming on and the VLAN where it was
destined to.  Luckily there were only 2 PCs (Sun Spark Stations) on that
vlan and both were compromised.  I removed them from the network and all
is
well.  I did also have MRTG which help some with identifying when the
attack
was going on and what direction it was coming on and with the ports that
were being most heavily utilized.  This network is pretty big so it was
difficult to monitor all the ports that were suspects.  Thank you all
again
for your help.  

As far as the runt packets are concerned, to tell you the truth, I
noticed
that but did not pay to much attention to that part of the Netflow
output
since I was all wrapped up on tracking down where these packets were
coming
in from.   Right now packets with size of 1-32 account for about 50% of
all
traffic.

Not sure if this will help, but you could enable ip accounting on the
uplink interface to the switch.  Watch for the address that is pouring
out the most requests. Then use sho ip arp x.x.x.x to find the mac
address.  From there you could go to the switch and do a show cam
dynamic or if IOS version, show mac-address-table with the mac address
found with the most requests.  This would hunt down the culprit machine
without a person walking to each individual machine.

RE: accessing files [7:60109]

2003-01-02 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Spencer-

>From your brief description, there could be a number of possibilities as
to why you get timeouts.

For the "visibility" of files via FTP... that's either a Firewall issue
between your workstation and the near-end T1, a Firewall issue between
the Server and the far-end T1, or the most likely issue-
configuration/misconfiguration of the FTP Server itself to not allow
LISTING access.  Some FTP Servers (such as MS IIS) can be configured to
allow READ access while at the same time disallowing LISTING access.
The end result is your Web Browser/FTP Client won't display the contents
of the directory... but if you already know the name of the file in that
directory, you can still request a copy of it thru the READ Access
attribute.

Kinda like blindly reaching behind a cabinet for something that fell
behind (and you say it fall behind)... you can't see it because of how
close the cabinet is to the wall, but you can at least reach your arm
behind to try grabbing it.

For the timeout issues of larger files, I would look at the egress
device (Hub or Switch) the Server is connected to for packet failures,
the Egress Router for queuing misconfigurations or packet failures
(specifically on the WAN interface).  If there is a firewall on the
Server side of the connection, check its configuration and log files for
errors too.  Do all of the same steps on the client side of the WAN
Link.

Hopefully, you'll spot the issue.  It could always be as simple as a bad
switch/hub port or a bad cable!

Good Luck!
Mark

RE: Cry for help: Integrated circuit CSU config [7:60122]

2003-01-02 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Never configured a Paradyne CSU, but if it is anything like the Adtran
units I've configured, then it should be pretty straight forward.

You will be given information from your service provider(telco) about
what timeslots/channels (DS0's) the data is running on, and what
timeslots/channels the Voice is running on.  You then configure the CSU
accordingly.

Ex:  Channels 1-16 for FR Data, 17-23 for Voice.

Your CSU will have a DSX-1 port that allows you to feed the data
channels via a V.35 cable to your router.  The CSU will also have a T1
port (possibly RJ-45/48) that you will connect via a straight-thru Cat5
cable to your PBX/PABX for Voice service.

>From there, it's up to you to configure your Router and PBX to talk on
those timeslots/channels.  The CSU will take care of line-coding and
framing (which you configure on the Paradyne) for the Data Side, and the
Voice will be managed by the PBX and Telco.

Simplest solution is to put a WINS Server on the Subnet that can't find
the DC.  Configure it to replicate with the DC on the other Subnet, or
Statically configure the Domain Name entry for the NT Domain on the WINS
Server in the troubled subnet.  Your "DC Not Found" issue should be
resolved then.

More Administratively intensive solution is to modify the LMHOSTS file

You all remember my very simple campus network re-design that I've been
helping out with? It sure has been keeping me humble. ;-)

So we upgraded the single subnet to two subnets and two VLANs.

Everything is working OK except for Windows networking. The PCs on the
new
subnet can't find a domain controller for authentication.

So, you can feel free to yell at me for not gathering more information
on
the symptoms, but the client hasn't told me much. ;-) But does this ring
a
bell with anyone? Are there standard recommendations on how to handle
this
in a subnetted VLANed internetwork.

I'm not too well informed on Windows networking. My co-author wrote that
chapter in my troubleshooting book.

Thank-you so much!

2003-01-04 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Searching CCO's public web access will yield a wealth of information if
you check it out.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/29.html

... and to answer indirectly, VPN Clients will terminate (attach) their
VPN tunnels to the PIX... so the outside interface address is what you
would use for the VPN Clients.  This means, that if you don't plan on
hosting anything else behind the PIX for the world to access without a
VPN connection, i.e., a web server for the public, you will
automatically be doing PAT for all users behind the PIX accessing the
Internet.  Hence, you will only need one Public/Registered IP Address to
support VPN Clients AND PAT.

VPN does have something to do with the Registered IP Address, as you
suspected. :)

RE: PIX behind DSL router [7:60307]

2003-01-05 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Might I inject that, unless there is some sort of out of the ordinary
DSL service configuration, you could perhaps enable bridging on the 675
and assign the public address of the DSL service to the Ethernet port on
the 675.  This would then make it possible (provided you have more than
just one IP address assigned to the customer end of the circuit) for you
to configure the outside interface of the PIX with a public address, and
the inside with a private address.

The alternative would be to purchase a SpeedStream modem (or some other
compatible DSL modem) (off of e..b..a..y.. perhaps) and configure it for
bridging.  Then your public address would definitely be assigned to the
outside interface of the PIX, and your problem solved.

Just an idea though... you might have already thought of it.

acting as a mirror to breach the corporate network??

any issues.  Split tunnelling has been enabled up until now.

As for private networks (home networks) we have some home users

RE: The effect of NAT on an interface [7:61178]

2003-01-16 Thread Mark W. Odette II
Chuck-
What about TFTPing your changes in a "new" startup-config file, then
reloading the router.  If you are pretty certain your changes won't be
bad afterwards, I don't see where you could go wrong.  If you do have a
programming issue with a route-map or acl, then you definitely are
getting to visit the client router in the morning. :)

My mentor has taught me a command that will always save your butt.

When making the changes in the fashion you mentioned:
1st command to issue is "Reload in X" ; x=number of minutes specified.

If you do this, you won't have to worry about getting locked out
over-night.

Also, create your new ACLs on the Router BEFORE you doing anything else.
This way, you can change the command that implements the new ACL last,
and you should be able to re-connect shortly afterwards.  I've had fun
with this while working on a IOS VPN solution- it was a rude awakening,
and I had to call the client office to have them bounce the router that
night.

Subject: The effect of NAT on an interface [7:61178]

it's happened twice now, and the policy routing was removed from the
interface, so I'm thinking the problem has to be the NAT configuration

The problem: remote configuration of a router.

Circumstances: remove poorly constructed access-lists. replace them with
better constructed access-lists that are also in conformance with a
system
wide standard numbering convention. Change the route maps to reflect
these
new access-lists. one access-list determines whether or not a host on
the
inside can obtain a NAT translation. the other control policy routing
inbound on the WAN interface.

The process:

1) remove policy routing from the distant end WAN interface

2) delete old access-lists

3) delete old route-maps

4) paste in new access-lists

5) paste in the new route-maps

at this point I lose connection with the router.

I presume that because policy routing was disabled ( no ip policy
route-map
etc ) and the router was reloaded before step 2 was taken, that the
problem
is not with policy routing denying my own access.

That leaves NAT. The ip nat outside configured on the WAN link of the
remote
router was in place.

Now I'm racking my brains about this, because I have 9 other sites
identically configured, and I configured them remotely, and life was
good.

Well, I guess I'll be visiting a client site in the morning.
sheesh!!!

Another CCNP is born... [7:48870]

2002-07-15 Thread Mark W. Odette II

Well, after many months of off-and-on studying as work would permit, I
finally passed the Support exam to complete the CCNP chapter in my Cisco
Career Certification saga.

For those preparing for it, let me warn that it is not an easy exam.
It's not that the technologies tested on are hard to learn, but rather
the ambiguous questions posed to test your knowledge. There are more
than a few questions that had me scratching my head and saying to myself
"Huh!?!?"

My advice... if you don't get to work with some of the technologies on a
regular basis, then based on the Test outline on CCO, read up on more
than one study source multiple times until you are dreaming of what does
what and how to tell what from what.

IF that isn't ambiguous enough... Gotta love the Cisco NDA.

Any way, I'm now off to study the CCDA and CSS1 concurrently :-)

Good luck to all those planning to take the Support exam in the near
future... it's one nasty exam.


Oh, I must also give thanks to all that have posted on this forum for
the last 2 years I've been faithfully monitoring it.  All of your input
has been quite valuable.

If you want a nice alternative to the Boson Exams for this test... I
would highly recommend CCXXProductions.com! Their study materials are
top notch... Not to mention their support staff for updates.

Cheers!

RE: Catalyst 5500 VLAN Configuration [7:48874]

2002-07-15 Thread Mark W. Odette II

For each VLAN, you have to define it on the Switch Port, i.e., if you
have 10 vlans, and you have a 12, 24, or 48 port module for module 6,
than you need to decide your vlan assignment, and then make it so on a
per port basis.

You won't assign an IP Address to the Switch Port, but you will assign
VLAN 2 to say port 6/2, VLAN 3 to Port 6/3, etc.


If you intend to route between VLANs, then you will either need the
applicable route-switch-module for the model switch you are working
with, or a router that supports the same trunking features as the switch
(ISL or dot1q)

On the router or the route-switch module, you will configure
Sub-interfaces that will define the subnet, and vlan and what
encapsulation type you are using for that vlan.


Good luck on your studies.

RE: Cisco command [7:49152]

2002-07-18 Thread Mark W. Odette II

GEORGE-

This has been asked at least 6 times in the past 12 months.  You should
check the archives, if they are available.

The short and quick answer is, on most low end and midrange routers- NO.

On a few of the high-end routers (i.e., GSR's, 7200 VXRs, etc.), the
answer is YES (according to other list members).

If you issue the Show Diag or Show Diag cbus command, you can retrieve
Serial Number information of the System Board, and any Line Cards such
as NM's (Net Modules) and WIC's/VIC's, PA's, etc. 

... But these Serial Numbers are NOT the same as the Serial Number on
the Chassis of the Router, which is needed for Tech Support calls with
Cisco TAC, as well as registering SMART-NET contracts.

Also, I might add, the suggestion to solve this little issue is to put
in the description of a Loopback interface the Serial Information from
the chassis.  That way, if you need that information which was not
documented before deployment of the node to a remote location, you could
retrieve it by terminal session and viewing the config.

Like I said, check the archives for a definitive answer on the few
platforms mentioned, or open a Level 4 Case with Cisco TAC to get the
answer direct from the horses mouth.

Now, I must say, I think I'm the first person to mention the Level 4
Case alternative on this list... :)  

Guess those Support studies paid off; Cisco would be proud :)

that the competitors seem to have Internetwork Devices that are far
superior in capabilities or performance in many cases compared to

RE: Cisco IOS Docs Hardcopy? [7:49444]

2002-07-23 Thread Mark W. Odette II

Jason,

Funny you should mention it.

I just received my order of documentation, which I placed over a month
ago.

One thing for sure, I got more documentation than I realized I ordered-
and it was all free.  I did not find an indication of charge for
shipping or the docs themselves.  Now I have enough documentation to
fill 5 bookshelves!

... and yes, part of that documentation is the 12.2 docs-- config guide,
debug docs, command guide, Voice-Video-Fax docs, and the list goes on.

All of it is soft-cover though, so don't expect hard-cover.

I received 1 very large box, a medium sized box, several small boxes and
bubble envelopes... 11 pieces in all.

Some of that was Voice docs though... ICS 7750, IP Phones, Call Manager,
CiscoWorks for Voice, etc.

I figured, if it was free, and I want to familiarize myself with that
stuff for the future, why the heck not order it!

I believe my Reseller Status is what allowed me to order it all for free
though.

Good Luck!

RE: Cisco IOS Docs Hardcopy? [7:49444]

2002-07-24 Thread Mark W. Odette II

I am the same way about having hard-copy to read from... I can't tell
you how many trees I've killed with printing docs out from the PDFs off
of CCO, and then tossed the print outs several months later because of
too much "loose" stuff on my desk.

I also spent 60.00 on the 6.1 PIX Docs from EBay, just to find out
several months later that the docs were available to me for free (thanks
to a post on this list many months back pointing out the "secret hiding
place" on CCO).

Indeed, you hit the nail on the head as to why I ordered all the Docs I
did: To have the resources to support just about anything I or my
engineers may come across.  But nothing replaces a properly placed TAC
call.

All of these Docs are in manual format with soft-cover though, so it's
not like we have a huge library of Cisco Press-style books to reference.
I still have pay for the hard-cover.

Also, as someone else mentioned in an earlier reply, depending on your
SmartNet, you too are probably able to order the same DOCs for free.

Like you said, nothing beats paper in some cases. :)

I believe it costs a fortune (over $1000) for us mere customers/end

I imagine Cisco thinks you resellers need to have it to support your

12.1

My impression is that most people in this industry have no problem using

RE: CCIE Security Lab [7:17848]

2002-07-24 Thread Mark W. Odette II

May I ad this little edict that "Buggy/Unreliable OS's" is just a bad
wrap that the community has labeled to MS "WINDOWS"... without much
explanation of WHAT was the "unreliability".

Indeed, Security is a different story, and there is plenty of "reliable"
argument to that topic... but to constantly perpetuate this argument
that "Windows" is unreliable and buggy makes me ill.

What makes the story of it being buggy/unreliable has always been
related to device drivers that sloppy-a$$ programmers whip out for
sub-standard chipsets on the Intel platform running "Windows".  Not to
mention, the OS's that have been the most unreliable/buggy have been the
desktop OS's- NOT the Server platform Windows NT.  If you think that you
should use that Windows 98 box as your company's Server- it's your own
stupid fault for all the headaches that are derived from therein.

I've worked predominantly in the NT environment for over 8 years, going
through the NT 3.51, 4.0, and now Windows 2000 version of the server
platform, and I ONLY have had servers crash when a vendor-specific
device driver was updated (ahem, Intel ironically was the culprit, and
they were supposed to be the other half of the "Win-tel" agreement).
I've also maintained a fair share of different-flavored *nix boxes that
performed similar functions, for which they suffered the same ailments-
bad drivers for add-on hardware, whether it be NIC's, RAID Controllers,
Telephony boards, or power failure.  One thing for sure, the NT box
didn't spend 30 minutes spewing INODE errors all over the place once
power was restored... unlike the AT&T Unix brothers did... And yes, I
know, NT uses a journaling file system as opposed to the file system
Unix uses.  But for heaven's sake! The DB application on the *nix box
should have the corruption issues to worry about, NOT the OS!

Most of these Windows NT Servers under my command were Computer
Telephony systems, a.k.a., IVR's.  They ran like a champ for several
years without a reboot... the ones that ran for shorter periods were
maintenance reboots for Service Packs or because of Power Failure to the
location the box was residing.  These servers were both DEC Alpha's and
Intel-based OEM and Clone machines.

As I said before, just as much as it is a problem for the *nix platform,
the "things" that make the OS unreliable is the cheap hardware and
sloppy device drivers that are applied to the system.  Proper
installation, and hardening of the OS for the specific purpose it is
supporting (read don't use the same machine you've set up as your server
as your desktop too, installing all kinds of non-server related programs
on it like "free-ware" and demos of programs found in the center or back
of some periodical you got in the mail), and the Windows NT / 2000
Server will be just as stable as the next implementation of Solaris on a
Sparc station.

And again, as Chuck pointed out, if the Applications developed to run on
the Windows NT / 2000 platform were developed properly, than the servers
would be reliable in that respect too.  I'm not a programmer by any
means, but from what I've observed, you can have just as many crashes
for building crappy DLL's as you can from improper handling/use of C
library modules on a *nix box.  Not to mention, both types of
programmers need to know how to program for Memory Address handling.


But who am I to argue... the whole slamming of "Windblows" is probably
just because some bull-headed *nix lackey is just pi$$ed off he can't go
rebuild the kernel half a dozen times to "tweak" the system on
"Windows".

And as a final note, I do maintain the argument that ALL of the OS's out
there have their own place in the industry; there isn't just ONE O.S.
that addresses all the use/needs of any particular business (keeping
Support in mind).

Now- Back to our regularly scheduled commentary on Cisco Studies.

Buggy/unreliable software is indeed the same anywhere.  But when
combined
with buggy/unreliable OS's, now we're talking about a solution that is
REALLY buggy and unreliable.  For example, if your software is only
guaranteed to run at 3 9's, and your OS is also only guaranteed to run
at 3
9's, then overall we're talking about a less-than-3-9's of a solution.

You can actually run packetized voice very reliably, and not just for
toll
bypass (although it is definitely true that toll-bypass  is the easiest
and
most mature kind of packetized voice to do).  The key is that you have
to
design things in  a certain way to maximize your reliability.  Many
carriers
like SBC use packetized voice with soft-switch signalling in certain
parts
of their network, and then you have packetized voice wholesalers like
Ibasis
that have massive available voice capacity and a good reputation for
reliability.  There was a huge amount of serious talk after 9-11

RE: Can get it to work (Pix 515 behind cable modem [7:49744]

2002-07-26 Thread Mark W. Odette II

Kevin- Disregard my last post... I read your message wayyy to quickly,
and interpreted it to be asking why you were getting PAT results rather
than NAT as expected.

In reflection, I realize what you are actually asking, and also realize
that the configuration is missing Access Lists or Conduits.  Without
those, you're going nowhere on the "NET".

The 515 should have come with a couple of PIX manuals (probably for 6.1,
but that's ok).  Look at the chapter on Access-lists, as this is where
Cisco is headed for primary/default config of the PIX.  It used to be
Conduits were used in place of the Access Lists, and so far, the 6.1 and
6.2 code are backwards compatible for Conduits usage.

If you are still confused after your reading, try firing up the PDM and
adding an access list for allowing ICMP echo reply packets back in the
outside interface, and ICMP any packets out the inside interface.

IIRC, the PDM will generate the explicit allow IP acl for the inside
interface by default.  Save your changes, get out of PDM, and go telnet
back to the PIX to study the changes.

At the same time, see if you can get to the net now!

Also, I'd verify you WAN configuration by issuing a Show Route command
in Exec Mode this will id your outside int. ip address, and its def.
gw., as well as the default route for 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 traffic.

Sorry for the knee-jerk response of my earlier post. :(

RE: Check this new command out [7:49717]

2002-07-26 Thread Mark W. Odette II

I was able to use it on my 2600's running 12.2(8), and only tried a
handful of commands, which DID work.

Ex:
Router-DAL-GateWay(config)#do ?
  LINE  Exec Command

Router-DAL-GateWay(config)#do show ?
LINE

Router-DAL-GateWay(config)#do sh ip int brie 
InterfaceIP-Address  OK? Method Status  Protocol

Serial0/0.210192.168.100.1   YES NVRAMup   up

Serial0/0.310192.168.100.5   YES NVRAMup   up

Serial0/0.410192.168.100.9   YES NVRAMup   up

Router-DAL-GateWay(config)#

Do sh ver, do sh ip ro, do sh run, do sh ip ei top - all yielded
expected results... totally awesome for me.

It apparently applies to all exec commands, as shown by the following
example:

Router-DAL-GateWay(config)#do ping 198.6.1.2 

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 198.6.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 12/12/12 ms
Router-DAL-GateWay(config)#

I've have to get on my 1750s and 2514 to see if it works for them too.

RE: PIX 501 and enabling DES [7:49705]

2002-07-27 Thread Mark W. Odette II

NetEng-

If you just bought the 501, you should be under warranty, and can call
TAC for "Special Access" download code, and then go to the Software
Center and enter the code they gave you to gain access to downloading a
copy of the current software on your PIX... you might even get them to
allow you downloading the newer code for free.

Also, I think (haven't tried this myself) you can tftp the current flash
image OFF of the PIX for 'backup' purposes, and then tftp it back onto
it for your "re-installation" of the PIX OS, giving you the opportunity
to put in your DES key.

Since you get warranty support from TAC, I'd call them and have them
assist you on this matter.  I'm sure you'll be happy with their support
service.

I think the file you specify is 'flash:pix613.bin'

i.e., the command would be ' copy flash:pix613.bin tftp' or 'copy flash
tftp' and then answer the prompts as necessary.


Here is a list of the possible versions to choose from:

Binary REQUIRES 32 MB RAM AND 8MB FLASH  6.2.2.ED 28-JUN-2002 1658880

The image comes with the Pix if you bought it legally from Cisco.
I'm sure they could sell all Pix's with encryption enabled and charge
more
for all of them.
I'd rather have the option to pay for Pix without encryption if I don't
need
it.

As I said though in version 6.2 onwards you don't need to reload the
image.
Just use "activation key"

RE: CCIE Experiences? My Road Ahead... [7:50139]

2002-07-30 Thread Mark W. Odette II

Rob-

I think it is feasible without the 10 years experience working for an
ISP.  In fact, I've been working with Cisco equipment off and on at
first, but then more consistently for the past 6 years.  I took my time
in completing my CCNP (almost 2 years from the point of CCNA), and
probably could have gotten it sooner if I had really applied myself.

For the CCIE, this discussion has been mulled over at least 4 times in
the past 6 months.  The bottom line is, half of the CCIE preparation is
book-study... pure "Cisco" Academics.  But the other half is real
experience working on the equipment for a considerable amount of time,
whether it be more in production and less in lab racks, or vice versa.

One of the list contributors (NRF) I'm sure will comment on his
definition of "Lab Rat", and how he believes that a considerable amount
of employers are not interested in Lab Rats for CCIE's**.  It's a catch
22 in this respect, of which I'm sure you can already understand.

** no need to rehash this topic NRF :)

Personally, I think you can reasonably obtain the CCIE in 18 months, and
really be a well developed CCIE.  Do keep in mind though, the CCIE is
not the top of the mountain, but rather just one of the summits in your
career.  You WILL need to keep learning, and it is up to you if you
decide to continue participating in the Vendor Certification game.

Just my .0010

Good luck on your studies.

Subject: CCIE Experiences? My Road Ahead... [7:50139]

All (CCIE's and CCIE Written)

I was wondering if you could help me understand what it is I am in for.
I
have 3 years of experience at tier 3 IP support with Verizon.  OSPF
mostly.
I have experience with various Cisco and Nortel routers and switches.
My
question is this, knowing OSPF and circuit troublshooting is excellent
knowledge, but I know that is only a fraction of what the CCIE demands.
I
recently passed the CCNA, and have jumped into the studying for the
routing
exam.  The only thing which seems tough is the BGP (I have not touched
it
before).  So, my question is, what can I expect from this road ahead.
Is it
feasable to eventually obtain my CCIE or is the CCIE for those people
who
have the 10 years of experience working for an ISP?  Any advice would
help!

Rob Cluett, CCNA

RE: Hardware requirement for Cisco CallManager [7:50142]

2002-07-30 Thread Mark W. Odette II

IIRC, Cisco will only support the OEM Servers they have certified the CM
product to run on.

Currently, the only vendor certified is Compaq.  Other vendors are "in
the works" for certification, and include IBM and HP.  HP may not be
true anymore, based on a statement made from a colleague recently.  He
said that an HP Sales person paid a visit to his office, and summarized
what platforms were being discontinued as a result of their merger with
Compaq-- the HP Server platform was being dropped in favor of Compaq's
Proliant line.

I could contact Cisco Sales directly for a definitive answer.

The Compaq Server models that is will run on if you buy your server
separately are the DL320, DL360, and DL380's.  Cisco's label for these
machines is the MC?7800 series.  I think it's 7830, 7850, 7860
respectively.

That being said... there are ways of running Call Manager on Clone
Servers... but that's a vendor secret.  I believe Dual-PIII is their
required minimum... but I could be wrong.  CPU's are in the 1.Ghz range.

Hope that helps!

RE: TCP sequence numbers question [7:49535]

2002-07-30 Thread Mark W. Odette II

I have the same problem, of which I'm still searching for an answer. :(

The "Client" is SBClient (a fancy GUI program for Telnet), and the
Server is Unidata DB server running on NT 4.0 with SP6a and the Unidata
server has its own Telnet Service that appears to be running on the
standard port.

Client connections are made across a Site-to-Site VPN (PIX to PIX/LAN to
LAN), only 1 or 2 users have their sessions terminated without request
from the Server Admin or the Client.  All information gathered seems to
indicate that after a period of idle time, the connection is dropped.
My problem is, I've placed a sniffer (Ethereal) on both ends of the
connection (but not simultaneously) with hopes of finding the root of
the disconnect, but am not able to do so thus far.  The weird thing is,
it seems like when the particular user that experiences these random
disconnects logs into the system, I see a Multicast Join advertisement
appear.  If they normally log out of the system (telnet app), I see a
Multicast Leave advertisement 

If anyone has a similar setup and can shed some light on where I can go
look to figure this out, I'd appreciate it.

For clarity, the ASCII art depicts the layout:


Telnet Server  (Unidata DB Server)
|
--PIX--
| |
- RouterA |
| |  V
--Internet--  |  P
| |  N
- RouterB |
| |
-- PIX   --
|
- SBClient (Win98 workstations)

Also, when the SBClient "gets suddenly disconnected", the Server still
thinks the user is connected.  When the user re-connects to the server
with the SBClient telnet app, the server starts a NEW session for the
same user id, and therefore eats up another license connection.  The now
"orphaned" old session has to be manually killed by the Admin on the
Server.  These disconnects only occur with users across the VPN- local
users are not affected.

Short of coming up with a selective debug (if its even possible) and
logging debug output for the specific users' telnet sessions over a
period of time, I'm at a loss as to how I can figure out and solve this
problem.

Note: ONLY 1 or 2 Users at each of four remote sites experience this
issue... and it's always the same users.  This whole setup did work
without a problem when the remote users were connected via Frame Relay
P-t-P connections... but has exhibited this issue since the topology
changed to VPNs and dropping the FR connections.

Also- I've opened a TAC case, but TAC pointed me back to the server, and
said "confirm whether or not the Server's Telnet service operates with
unicast, or broadcast/multicast and get back with us.  Also run a
sniffer to capture session traffic and check that for errors and then
get back with us.  The PIX does not pass broadcast or multicast traffic
by design of its ASA process.  If the server is using anything other
than unicast for communications, reconfigure application server for
unicast."

So far my determination is that the Unidata Application Server's
implementation of Telnet is TCP unicast.

Am I wrong to understand telnet uses TCP-based unicast communications??

TIA for any advice or ideas on how to solve this problem.

Subject: Re: TCP sequence numbers question [7:49535]

How does the other host know its a keepalive? I do not see any keepalive
fields in the TCP packet, perhaps a TCP option?
I think I was more confused by how the sequence #'s are incremented and
ack'd. I read in Stevens book
" Since every byte that is exchanged is numbered, the acknowledgement
number
contains the next sequence number that the sender of the acknowledgement
expects to receive. This is therefore the sequence number plus 1 of the
last
successfully received byte of data."
So using the example below (host A 192.168.133.21, B 10.10.10.12), A
sends 1
byte of data, last successful sent byte is 2653258021, shouldn't Host B
ack
(2653258021)+1 ?

The problem I'm trying to solve is a TCP connection that unexpectedly
terminates. Supposedly the client can detect this and reconnect to the
server but there are problems. I started the keepalive thread last week
related to the same issue. I thought our firewall may have droppped the
connection from its state table after its timeout but this is not the
case
since it seems keepalives are sent every 30 seconds.

Hinwoto-

Welcome to the list!

Obviously your question indicates you are new, as this question has been
posed many times over the last 9 months.  If you are not new, than might
I suggest the Archives as research - provided they are available. :)


To answer your question though:

The BSCI exam is interchangeable with the CCNP and the CCIP
certifications.  It was added to /developed for the new CCIP
designation, but was made applicable to the CCNP career track too,
seeing as the only difference between it and the Routing exam is the
IS-IS.

It is doubtful that the BSCI exam will replace the Routing exam in the
future, though it would make sense IMHO.

And yes, you only need take one of the two exams to apply towards your
CCIP or CCNP certifications.

Good luck on your studies!

Hello guys,

According to CCO, Routing Exam 640-603 does not include IS-IS as exam
material and BSCI exam 640-901 includes it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong that we only need to take just one of
them
 either 640-603 or 640-901 ).
Can you guys taken BSCI exam share information about this exam ?
Is BSCI going to replace the Routing exam in the future ??
It is good that Cisco include the IS-IS on the routing exam which will
become tougher for CCNP candidate.

What's everybody's view on using the Pix as a DHCP server?

I used it once, only because after arriving on site to install the Pix
the
customer mentioned that his old Firewall was doing DHCP and he had no
plans
to do it on anything else.
Seemed to go fine, but would like to know if people have come across
limitations/issues.

I tend to agree with the view "Right box for the job", i.e. don't make
the
Pix do things it's not made for, but if pushed into the situation, how
does
it compare.

I just wanted to clarify this.  You only need to take the BCSI exam for

Hi,

Does anyone know if Cisco's exams are pulled from a pool of questions or
if
all the questions on one particular exam will be the exact same set of
questions for someone else writing the same exam?

Thanks in advance.

:-) k

RE: Anyone took EVODD (9E0-411)? [7:50340]

I don't know how "easy" the exam is, as I've not taken it.

What I have heard though is that it was/may still be an open-book test.

Also, the study material for it is apparently web-based, as there isn't
anything in hard-copy...  at least that is what I've been told- have not
been able to confirm for sure.

Maybe someone else will have a more definitive answer.  At least I hope
so.

Mark

Subject: Anyone took EVODD (9E0-411)? [7:50340]

Hi all,

I've completed DQoS (a badly written exam) and would like to move on to
IPT
Design Specialist.

I've been searching high and low for the study guide or other self-study
material, but couldn't find it.
CCO doesn't help either. Whenever I do keyword search based on exam
topics,
CCO search results only points me back to the Exam Description/Topics
Page.

I wrote to Boson asking whether or not they have it, they replied that
they
have no author for this exam.

Anyone took EVODD 9e0-411 exam yet? What did you use for study &
preparation? PEC?
I can't afford to go for the full-blown training. 
Some suggest that this exam is an easy one ... a walk in the park ... is
this true?

Regards
