Re: response time between PIX with VPN [7:60981]
Well..well..well.. in a way I feel like idiot.. but in another it was a very much a learning experience. After checking over everything and recreating the 800mS to 2 second delays, I found the problem. When I first set up the lab, I spent some time working with the debugs for ipsec, isakmp and icmp. I was bouncing between PIXs looking at the results and working out the configs. Apparently, on the 520 PIX, I left a debug process running or it hung there on it's own from one of the times the ssh window timed out. I would have thought it would have died on its own but..then again maybe not. I had to reboot the 520 but that clear the problem and pings went to an expected 2mS response time. I had not rebooted the 520 since I was trying to replicate using a production PIX. I'm starting to think that when working with VPNs and the like, a reboot is a useful thing to do. Yes? no? Thanks again for the comments.. as it turns out I learned things from the comments and my own struggles. Sometimes it's best this way :) MikeS Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=61261&t=60981 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: response time between PIX with VPN [7:60981]
Darrell- I like the tidbit about reverse lookup with traceroute.. I always wondered why the Sun boxes were so slow at times during pings . Now I need to fire up the sniffer and the x86 Solaris and see what I can see :) It would be my luck that the x86 Solaris is different .. Anyways.. this config was a Win2K laptop to a Win98 laptop. The back to back between PIXs is made via two ports on a 2900. I plan to run through it again this weekend and get some better notes. Priscilla.. I started with ping but went with traceroute to play with access lists allowing traceroute to pass. The telnet was just a quick and dirty test that I could in fact make the connection through the tunnel. It was an observation that the response time of the telnet was very *bursty slow*. It would almost *pause* and then send a sequence of keystrokes. Almost like the tunnel was flapping but the debug did not show this. That slowness tied into the 800ms times posted by traceroute since 100ms is preceptible by a user. Like I said, I'll run a more formal test and gather up some more data. I posted just to see if anyone had some ideas off the top of their heads.

RE: response time between PIX with VPN [7:60981]
In answer to Eric, there is not any DNS involved as the traceroute is IP only... no name resolution needed. In answer Ed's comments, I have both plugged into a switch and so it's not *back to back* in the normal sense of the word.

response time between PIX with VPN [7:60981]
I just set up a back to back PIX firewall test. Using IKE and IPsec with a laptop on either end. One is a 520 (6.2) and the other is a 501 (6.2) and Win2K and Win98 as clients. Everything works as it should but.. isnt there always a but? the traceroute response time is something like 800mS. When I telnet into the 2K box from the 98 client, it's pretty slow in the echo back to the telnet session. Ideas of what to check? I cant believe that is considered normal unless it's directly related to the 501 being pokey and the 520 being an older PII300??

RE: OT: Technical Writing [7:50077]
When I write, I rarely start in front of a monitor at first. Normally it's with a pen and a pad of paper at a local starbucks/coffee house or hanging in my patio canvas chair. I long hand an outline and then rough in a few paragrahs. Then I get out the laptop and goes nuts. But I dont insist on a quiet house. I normally put on some classic (since when I did become a classic) rock or blues tunes for *background* noise. My better half needs a completely quiet house when she writes so we trade off times/days as needed. Everyone is different but there are times where it just doesnt work and times where I hate to get up since it's flowing so well.

RE: FW: PIX 520 Motherboard repair replace [7:48959]
Intel Etherexpress 10/100B which has a S82557 chipset. Others may work but these I've tested and have been very reliable. I have a close up shot of the NIC here(along with other parts) www.packetattack.com/frankenpix.html I dont know of a way to tell the 16Meg flash apart from the 2 meg flash only because I do not have the 16 to take a look at. I would suspect you could look at the PN on the flash chips. One error that seems to be very common is that the video card screws up the IRQ that that PIX bios wants to use. Since you need to config the motherboard BIOS for things like CPU speed and so on, you need a video card. Once the PIX bios takes over, the video card is useless. But.. when testing, the IRQ conflict happens pretty often. My FP is running 5.1(4) which is the last 2meg flash image I'm aware of.. there might be one slightly newer but this one does everything I need it to do for now.

CCNA level IPX question, proper phrasing [7:45138]
I have a IPX question in my CCNA practice test beta and I've had some mixed feedback on it. The questions asks what is the command to enable IPX routing on a router and gives a MAC address as part of the question. The question is a *fill in the blank* type. The answer I have is: ipx routing Is making the MAC a requirement of the answer a *fair* use of the command? I thought so even though IPX routing will automaticaly assign the node address. I felt inclusion of the MAC into the question was a clue that it needed to specified. Is this too much to ask of a budding CCNA? PS- for those who would want to look at the entire beta, it's 60 questions at this point and a free download.. as long as you use the feedback form to give me yes, no, it sucks etc..etc.. :) I have managed to get some good feedback so far and will always take more. www.packetattack.com/tutorials.html Thanks MikeS Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=45138&t=45138 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can sniff either port or specify a VLAN to be mirrored. I tend to use the hub as a quicky tool when I'm at an office and out of ports. On the cheapo switches like Linksys and Netgear, I dont know of any *mirror* function so it's drop and insert the hub. I'm sure other folks here have some tricks and tips..

Terminal server reverse telnet ? [7:41496]
I would swear I've seen this answered here before but I can seem to find it now that I need it. The short version is I have a terminal server connected to a router. The router is config'ed on the AUX port for a modem. I reverse telnet into the router(normal) from the terminalserver. Then I need to reverse telnet to the modem on the router. So far so good. The problem is when I need to pause and drop out of the AUX session back to the router. The normal shift 6 x kicks me all the way back to the terminalserver and not just the router that is being worked on. I know there is a way around this but I dont remember it::whimper:: If someone would be kind enough to post an answer, link etc.. Meanwhile I'll keep looking on my own. THanks!!

RE: CCNP Training kit [7:40915]
To add to this comment, for giggles I went over one of these *cheet sheets* that folks seem to so in love with.. 100 questions.. 4 not usable due to missing exibits and the caption *use your best judgement*... another 3 were just plain wrong(verified by looking up in books instead of memory) and several more were suspect... Cheating doesnt pay.. So where does that leave us where the dark side is incorrect AND the good guys put out such a shoddy product? I used Transcender with ok results, Beachhead had errors on their CCNA.. might be corrected now, Boson was spotty in quality but my experience is limited with their product and may not respresentive of their current product. Exam Prep is now toast unless picked up by someone else. I do like the material by CCxx Productions. I used the Cisco Academy semester 5-6 books and materials. That seems to be pretty good but I did find many *small* errors in the labs.. things like printing 172. when they meant 192.. I did find a few missing commands but in most cases they worked as they should.

> Real life is: > > > > You need over 5 years experience, Certifications and a 4 year > B.S. > degree computer related. > > No- this is not accurate. I do pretty well without the 4 year degree in Computer Science or EE(original path) There are *some* companies that use the 4 year as a filter but in many cases, it's not somewhere I would want to work anyways. The only time I have had troubles because of the lack of degree, comes from someone who is insecure in their own position OR they have a need to constantly validate their life choices such as a degree. I'm all for the changing of the tests periodically.. and this is from someone who is *in the pipe* for their own CCNP. Why? because if you really know the material, then the test does not matter. If you really know the commands(like you should) then sims dont matter. If you are someone trying to get by with the absolute barest investement in yourself by using cheetsheets and rote memorization, then tough.. go get a life somewhere else. My routing test took longer then I thought it would because I sat down and practiced quite a few labs since I had not worked with BGP at all. I could have just read the book, crammed the night before and passed. But I would NOT have KNOWN the material. I learned much more setting up the labs, typing in the commands over and over and the cursing that follows when it doesnt work right. Troubleshooting is an excellent teacher :) I do agree that the questions by and large are badly written in the attempt to make them *difficult*.. such is life.

I think you folks are missing a valuable point and lesson here. The real point has nothing to do with if *Jim* is correct, a flame baiter, a pond scum commie or my best friend.. it does have everything to do with something that America is pretty unique about having for US living here. THe ablility to say virtually ANYTHING you want without fear of the jackboot crowd coming to visit you and inform you of the error of your ways. Unintentionly *Jim* has reminded us.. or should remind us that America for all it's faults is still the one place that people to this day DIE to try to get to. Why? because Americans come close to being free in the true sense of the word. You can buy what you want, pick and choose what you want, sponge off your neighbors, have 8 SUVs, and SAY pretty much what you want. Oh, there may be repercussions of saying things.. but most times the police are not going to shoot you down in the street(Kent State excepted) or have you *disappear*(watch of the unmarked black helicopters) So *Jim*.. bad mouth us all you want and personally I will enjoy the fact that I live in a place where I can read your rants, reply to them or delete them without fear.

BGP using AS_PATH attribute [7:37749]
I've been studying BGP using several books and papers. One of which is the Cisco Academy Semester 5 lab companion. So far it's been pretty good but Lab 8-3 drives me nuts. 3 routers.. 3 AS R1R2R3 AS100AS300 AS65000 The idea is to have everyone share routes(did that) and then to filter off the AS65000 number as the update is sent ot R1(did that) The kicker was I was *supposed* be able to ping R3 from R1 after this.. no way.. wasnt going to happen. The only network statements were the loopbacks for each router.. I was able to ping r3 AFTER I added the network statement to R2 that id'ed the interface IP between R2 and R1. That was not in the lab.. If someone who has this lab take a look and explain why the ping should or should not work?

Re: Security Design - PIX or Whatever [7:36677]
Yeah- HIPPA gets better and better.. not only is the heathcare provider responsible for the security/auditing/tracking of patient data, they are responsible for the security if an off-sight Doc connects to the data. This drove one place I was at nuts because in a cost saving fit a few years ago, virtually all the Docs were made contractors.. now it's coming back to haunt them. Not only that but try to convince the management of the provider that they need a security officer.. someone who does nothing BUT security.. that went over like a lead brick.. meanwhile they just whacked a few more bodies before Xmas.. its going to be a mess. And it's just not the healthcare providers, one shop I support is a health insurance processing house.. HIPPA is a BIG deal to them.. They are pulling in separate DSL circuits for each contract because they can not get a straight answer if they can consolidate the data from one vendor on the same circuit along with other vendors.

RE: VLan Ooops [7:34680]
Yes with some work. You need to be able to create a trunk port on both the switch and the router's interface. The trunk on the switch needs to have encapsulation set (if required) and whatever VLANs included that you want to pass to the router. On the router side, you would need set the encapsulation and make some subinterfaces to match the vlans. http://www.packetattack.com/cisco_documents.html At the bottom on the left side I have some links to cisco for configuring vlans.

"why wont they pay for it" is the biggest whine.. you are entitled to NOTHING in this world except to die at some point so it's really up to you where to go and how to get there. In my years, I have had the commute from hell and I used audio tapes and studied during lunchtime instead of going out with the guys. I squeezed in some class time at the college. I've spent time carpooling with the express idea of reading.. I have a laptop so I can at the least run sims on the run. I take it to family functions and it's understood that after a few hours of togetherness, I will disappear for a few hours of study time. I've explained to my daughter that even daddy has homework to do and so we each do our *homework* at the same time. She normally is done first :) And yes, a long suffering wife helps out alot. And I do make a point of some days, blowing off Cisco/networks/PCs to spend time with family and friends.. it's a tough balancing act to do. If there is a will, there is a way.

RE: OT: Re-Create a server [7:33950]
Ghost comes to mind. I use it often for this sort of thing. But it's really an all or nothing proposition. You can not lift an application and the install it somewhere else. DoubleTake works well as a real time hot standby. I've used it with SQL and some other applications. I have heard of an application that you take a snapshot of the system, install the new app, take a 2nd snapshot and builds an install file from it. I think this is how Installshield works if I remember correctly. I never used it myself, only been around the developers who were using it so dont take it as gospel.

RE: Which switch for CCNP home lab ? [7:33283]
I disagree a bit with Brad.. :) I would suggest TWO switches.. 1900 and a 2900 They use different interfaces and you need to know both. If you get the 8 port versions, you can save a few bucks but the prices have been falling in the last few months. On the 1900, make sure it's a newer one.. uses a RJ45 for the console port, not a DB9. On the 2900, make sure it has 8 meg of memory so you can upgrade it to the newer 12.x enterprise code for vlans. Some early ones come only with 4 meg which is not optimal since you can not install the 12.x enterprise code on it. I have a tutorial on my site that you might be interested in for the 2900.. the 1900 tutorial is not completed yet. www.packetattack.com/tutorials.html Of course, a viable option is to rent lab time over the net.

Then use VTP and password it. They can drop a switch but without the password configured, it's ignored.

RE: Switch for home lab [7:32797]
If you are ready for the big toys.. the 5K is a good way to go. If and I do mean IF you shop carefully, you can find a Cat5K for under 800 US. Dont pay extra for the pretty ones with all the covers.. Do pay attention to what cards are included. The sups come in several different flavors. The cheapest is a SupI and unless you have fiber converters, make sure it has the 10/100 ports. There is not enough difference between the I and II to justify the difference in price for a lab.. the IIIs are pretty pricy but I can see where an advanced lab would have one. On the Ethernet blades, get at least a 5213A which can do ISL. A better bet is the 5203 which will do Etherchannel(required for CCNP) Again, this will drive up the cost. I bought mine very cheaply and then added a few items as time went on. Get a 2nd switch.. a 2912 which is cheaper then the 24 port version. This switch can run 10/100 on all ports and run Etherchannel on all ports. Now you can hook the two together and have some fun. Toss in a 2620/21 and you have a router on a stick for the vlans and you have saved over 1500 bucks on the RSM. Just my opinions..

Here is a clip from the newest TechRepublic newsletter. In order to read the whole article, I think you need to be registered. But it is a decent site so it might be worth it to you. article starts here::: Instant messaging threatens enterprise security It’s no surprise that instant messaging (IM) is gaining in popularity. The often-free communication feature lets people interact instantly, make decisions on the fly, and provide immediate contact, as opposed to the delays that can occur when using e-mail. (this is the point I was trying to make about personal use vs. corporation use. Different rules apply for each) But what may be surprising, especially to today’s IT leaders, are the serious security issues posed by IM usage. Add that to the fact that most IM applications are used without corporate IT’s knowledge or approval, and it’s not a pretty picture for network security. :::article continues on::: http://www.techrepublic.com/article_guest.jhtmlid=r00520011218sss01.htm&fromtm=e101-3 Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=31852&t=31057 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So he comes in with the CCIE on his forehead and ready to show us how good he is. He may have been good on something but it sure was not using the Sniffer nor taking that data and working backwards. At the end of it all I called him on his results and asked why he thought they were correct when I had stats in front of me that said otherwise. He never called back or responded to my email. In the end, I was correct with my inital assumptions and results. The lesson learned is the CCIE letters alone do not make a good engineer.

RE: Static route loacd balancing? [7:31715]
Turns out that if you turn off fast route switching (no ip route-cache), the router will do a packet by packet *round-robin* over available interfaces. I worked in one shop that did this but it's really not recommeded as it puts a large CPU load on the router. Search cisco on ip route-cache and there are several documents on this. Like mentioned before you can do floating static routes. You can also use policy routing to balance packet types.

OT but related [7:31450]
I'm looking for something a bit odd but with good reason. I need an original copy of Cisco ACS version 1.0 I'm willing to pay a small amount for this so it's a chance to dig through the software archives and get a bit of beer money for a very old CD. The reason for wanting this old software is simple. I want to try Cisco's interface to their TACACS software. Currently I use a Linux flavor of TACACS which works but I'm struggling with the logging which I want. Since 1.0 was TACACS only, it fits the bill perfectly. There had been one on Ebay but it was overpriced in my opinion.

Re: How to block MSN, and others. [7:31107]
I'll agree that a *properly* designed antivirus protection scheme will filter both email(SMTP/POP/MAPI) and web borne nasties. But, that ignores the business realities. 1: We have ABC on the desktops.. it cost us XXX dollars and now we need to spend HOW MUCH MORE? for the exchange server(insert server of choice) 2: Why do we need to have yet another box on the network for filtering web traffic, I thought that is what the desktop software was for.. 3: Well.. our budget is not enough for all of the bells and whisles.. so we will just get couple of servers and the desktops 'and more.. I have heard all the above and it's an uphill battle with clients to educate them to the evils of having security holes. Sometimes I think the larger companys with deeper pockets are the worst. At one place, we ended up clamping down very hard on the staff after a few monthly reports showed various activities during work hours that last longer then the normal "lets take a peek". One guy( who was fired) was using X-Drive to distribute porn during business hours. Since he did not *bring it into work* he thought he could get away with it. Novel.. but it did not work. ANother person was timed though logins and router logs to have been in an certain ethnic chat room from the time their shift started to when it would almost be over. This is why we blocked ports. Basicly, a few of the staff could not be trusted to be responsible and would cause problems for the whole shop. Oh the joys!!

Re: How to block MSN, and others. [7:31057]
Let me put something into perspective here. It was said earlier about why give access then block it. Why indeed... the why is for BUSINESS reasons.. not day trading, not stock tickers, not chatting for hours(documented) with friends at the expense of work, viruses coming in on Hotmail attachments that bypass the clamped down exchange server and so on. The internet is given to employees for business reasons with the expectation that the employee will be responsible with it. Will there be personal use.. of course.. just like the phone. Why limit certain things? gee.. the company pays for a T1, they have 4,000 users, 100 decide to watch a Victoria Secret webcast at 300Kbps.. see the problem? This not theorical.. this really happened to one of my clients and the webcastusers/readaudio users managed to max out the T during working hours. The courts have already decided for good or bad that email is company property and they can do what they wish with it. I would imagine that web access falls under the same rules as it's a company building, desk, PC(or Mac), servers, connection and so on.

Well... the default IOS for these is 9.1 unless you either have the new ROMS or boot from a TFTP server. With 10.3 you *could* use TACACS and assign permissions for the various commands. One way is to authticate all commands. I have one set to allow resume, disconnect, where, connect and a few other odd commands. So far there has not been any reason give any more commands to the users. I happen to run TACACS on a linux box but if you have Cisco secure, you can do the same or run a RADIUS server.
