Sure it is. To get ccna you pass one exam. To get ccie you pass two. To
get ccnp you need to pass FOUR AND you have to have ccna. Sounds right?

I thought you did. Since it's highly possible that the version of
English language I studied at school is different from yours, we just
simply don't understand each other. However, since you newer know who
your reader is, stating the rules as short as possible is always a good
idea. In this particular case I would say "RID is numerically highest
addresss on a loopback interface, if there are any loopbacks, and
numerically highest address on an active physical or subinterface
otherwise".

BTW, if we are still talking about ciscos, the above statement is true
only for the takeoff situation. At flight you can add/delete loopbacks,
this won't change the RID. Unfortunately, I don't have enough spares to
check what happens if you delete the RID-defining loopback on the
router, then create a RID-defining loopback with the same address on the
other router and then launch OSPF on it.

When only a single loopback interface is defined, it's address is the
highest of available loopback addresses, right?

BTW, p.1 is wrong for ciscos. When multiple IP addresses are defined on
a loopback interface, OSPF takes only primary address of it and ignores
the secondaries.

Re: OSPF Router ID

OK, I'm sorry. I had been grown by mathematicians. Anyway, if p.2 does
make sense to you, p.4 would have to be added, describing the situation
when only one active non-loopback interface exists.

Re: Sample configuration of FXO to FXS voice over HDLC

IIRC there's no voice over HDLC thing (from Cisco).

Forget about the voice for a moment, and make IP running over HDLC. Then
make voice running over IP.

Re: Simulated dial-tone

2001-03-07 Thread Oleg Mazurov

Try Cisco VIC-2FXS card. A pair of ports that are pretty close to the
standard CO line. Approx. $600 a piece plus you need a $1200 cage to
install it to the 3600 series, or a $3000 1750 router or 2600 router
(dunno the price). Another idea is to shop for the secondhand phone
equipment, some key systems are damn cheap if you buy it used.

Re: Portfast

2001-03-01 Thread Oleg Mazurov

If you are not going to form the loops you can turn the Spanning Tree
off. But if you connect a hub or a switch or something you are not going
to switch on/off very often, there's no point. You connect the hub to
the switchport, you wait 30 seconds, you forget about it forever.
Conecting/disconnecting stations to the hub doesn't bother the switch's
spanning tree, the switch port is still sniffing the hub's heartbeat and
stays in the forwarding state.

The main rule is: when you are doing routing, forget about routers
(boxes). Router doesn't make any sense. Think interfaces. In your
situation, when you have your interfaces on a link between the 7xxx and
4xxx in area 0, your 4xxx is an ABR. When you have them in area 1, it's
internal router. If you set one interface to area 1 and other to area 0,
it wouldn't fly.

Re: Problem with the 2600 voice hang up

2001-02-28 Thread Oleg Mazurov

hi,

this problem is very common. FXO does not detect the disconnect
condition so cisco on FXO side keeps ringing after you hangup.

Newer FXOs have battery reversal feature. I didn't work with them and
don't know if they are any good.

The typical workaround is to set up the answering mashine to pick up the
calls when nobody's home. Works just fine.

All best wishes,

Re: Cert Difficulty Comparison.

2001-02-27 Thread Oleg Mazurov

In my opinion, switching is the easiest of CCNP's exams, routing is the
hardest. You will also meet a large amount of topics in remote access.
As to the overall difficulty, it depends on a product. Windows NT server
can be run by any idiot, and usually is, however to fully understand the
