Re: CCNP Switching 2.0

2000-12-01 Thread Paul Schultz


The switching exam does have multicasting in it, when I took the test it
basically went right along with the material covered in the Cisco Press
BCMSN book (which I highly recommend as a major study resource for this
exam.)  

I used the Cisco Press book as my only study source and passed it with a
pretty high score, as long as you make sure you understand everything
covered the test really wasn't too bad.


Hope this helps.

Re: 7200 Series router running Ether Channel

2000-12-01 Thread Paul Schultz


It works on the 7206VXRs.  I've got it running using 2 PA-FE-TX
cards.  Whatever you do don't use the 2 port fast ether cards, as they're
designed more for ISL trunking from token ring networks and start getting
errors after you start pushing some heavy traffic through them.

just create a port-channel interface, and assign the 2 fastether
interfaces to be part of that channel group.

Re: Aeronet Comparisons

2000-11-25 Thread Paul Schultz



Cisco Aironet stuff works quite well, but you have to be very careful with
it.  Aironet uses direct sequence spread spectrum technology which doesn't
scale well at all.. There's 11 possible channels to use, but only 3 of
them are non-overlapping.. so basically in one given rooftop or so you're
limited to only having 3 DS access points.

If you need to have more coverage with more antennas you should probably
look at some frequency hopping spread spectrum wireless lan gear such as
breezecom.

Re: OSPF NSSA problem

2000-11-25 Thread Paul Schultz



If i'm understanding correctly you want the routes you redistribute into
the NSSA to not make it all the way through to area 0?

Very simple.. let's say on the ASBR you redistribute routes that fall
under 172.16.0.0/16 into the NSSA

on the ABR, just put:

summary-address 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 not-advertise

this will ONLY work on the ABR and if the routes are redistributed into an
NSSA, which sounds like your situation so it should work for you.

On Thu, 23 Nov 2000, Simon Hope wrote:

 Hi guys / gals,
 
 Here is an interesting problem that I am struggling with at present
 
 Area 4 of my OSPF network is configured as NSSA and has 3 routers in it.
 
 Router 1 is the ABR that connects to the backbone, Router 2 is the ASBR that
 is redistributing some IGRP networks into area 4 and Router 3 is just an
 internal area 4 router. They are connected together over one ethernet.
 
 I would like to set the "P" bit on the type 7 LSA's that the ASBR produces
 to zero, so that the ABR (r1) will NOT convert these to Type 5's and NOT put
 them into the backbone (see Doyle, p483 if you dont know what I mean)
 
 the closest command I can come up with is the "area 4 nssa no-redistribute"
 , which I thought would work when I typed it in on R2 (the ASBR) - but this
 seems to block the production of the type 7 LSA altogether, so that R1 and
 R3 can no longer see the IGRP routes at all
 
 If I type the "area 4 nssa no-redistribute" on the ABR (R1) then this has no
 effect whatsoever, and the type 7 routes still get converted to type 5, and
 flooded into the backbone. Doyle says this command should be implemented on
 the ASBR not a seperate ABR so this doesn't surprise me too much
 
 Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: VPNS/access-list question

There's two things you need to allow for MS PPTP (I assume that's what
you're using.)

Port 1723 tcp, and either GRE (protocol 47) for NT4 or IPSec (protocol
50) for Win2k.  I know NT4 uses GRE and this setup will work, but I've
heard Win2k has an option to use IPSec instead.  Either way allow
whichever one you decide to use on your VPN server.

access-list 105 permit tcp any host X.X.X.X eq 1723
access-list 105 permit gre any host X.X.X.X   (Use this if you're using
PPTP with GRE)

access-list 105 permit 50 any host X.X.X.X(use this for PPTP with
IPSec)

RE: Passed Switching 2.0, wooha

2000-07-27 Thread Paul Schultz


The 2924XL really wasn't good enough to do any testing on, we just had a
spare at work that I was able to take home with me to play around on.  It
would probably be best to do a combination of some set based switch and a
1900, since many of the commands in the 2924XL (or atleast the latest and
greatest IOS version that I keep on all my switches) GREATLY differ from
those you'll find the the BCMSN course material (almost none of the
spanning-tree commands they list for the 1900 match up with the 2924XL).

Luckily at work I have 5 2924XLs to do the real tests on, although
honestly I really didn't do that much testing anyway (just studied the
hell out of the material from the book.)  Only lab stuff I did with our
switches was set up a few Etherchannel links and did some ISL trunking
with a 7206 router.

Re: (NAT) P.A.T. on overloaded interface..

2000-07-26 Thread Paul Schultz


I've done this with 1605's and 802's running 12.0 IOS.. the format is
like:

ip nat inside source static tcp 10.0.0.2 80 interface Serial1 80

(you can use the external "real" ip instead of the interface, either will
work.)

Basically this says anything coming in on the routable IP on serial 1 port
80 TCP will be forwarded to 10.0.0.2 80/tcp.  This allows you to host
web/mail/whatever servers behind an overloaded NAT.

Hope this helps.

Re: Totally stubby areas

2000-07-17 Thread Paul Schultz


You CAN make it a totally stubby area, as long as your Cisco router is the
ABR.  Remember a "totally stubby" setting only means that your router will
only send a 0.0.0.0 default route into the OSPF area, as opposed to a
0.0.0.0 default and type 3/4 summary LSAs.  As far as packet headers and
that kind of stuff it will still just show as a stub.

If a Cisco is set to totally stubby, and another router from another
vendor is set to just stub for the area, the two routers will have no
problems at all communicating with each other.

Re: Differences between ACRC 1.0 and BSCN 2.0 Exam?

2000-07-09 Thread Paul Schultz


ACRC covers more things, queueing, bridging, ISDN, appletalk, IPX,
etc.  BSCN/Routing 2.0 focuses almost all on dynamic IP routing
protocols, route-maps, access-lists, and so on..

The test follows the class corriculum, so I'd suggest checking out the
course outlines on the training and certification sections of cisco's web
site.

If you take ACRC you'll have to recertify eventually, so you might as well
sit down for a really long time and get to know BGP, EIGRP, OSPF,
route-maps, access-lists, etc and take the Routing 2.0 exam.

the BSCN Cisco Press book will be out next month, I'd suggest you get that
when it comes out.  I was able to pass it without it, but I also have a
fair amount of hands on experience working with many of the covered
subjects which helped me out tremendously.

I'm no to BCMSN right now, only about 1/3 through the book.. I'm not too
sure if getting my CCNP cert by the end of september is still going to
happen :)

was just rediculous in some cases.  The rumors are true, there is NO
bridging/queueing/isdn/appletalk/ipx on this exam.  A LOT of BGP, and I do
mean a lot.

Here's what I used for study material:

Advanced Cisco Router Configuration / Cisco Press (ignore all the
bridging/queueing/isdn/appletalk/ipx.. study the hell out of the routing
protocol chapters.)

Internet Routing Architectures / Cisco Press - very very good BGP
book.. it seemed like half the test was BGP, so I'd definitely recommend
reading this book. 

A lot, lot, lot of Cisco's online documentation for EIGRP, OSPF, and
BGP.  Know route maps and route filtering very very well.

A good amount of hands on experience with BGP/OSPF.  Luckily I work at an
ISP so have had some very good hands on experience working with OSPF and
BGP, if you don't work in an anvironment where you have access to this
stuff I'd recommend setting up whatever kind of lab you can.

It may be a good idea for a lot of people wanting to take this exam to
wait for the Cisco Press Building Scalable Cisco Networks book to come out
in august, since I sort of mixed and matched various study sources to get
the material I needed to pass this exam.


I'm on to BCMSN now, hope the road isn't too bumpy :)

Re: 2620 Keeps rebooting

2000-07-07 Thread Paul Schultz


You more than likely have an IOS image on the router that the router
doesn't have enough RAM to use.  This happens a lot when you put certain
IOS images on 2600 routers with less than 24 megs of ram.

What you need to do is hit break when it first starts to boot up and use
tftpdnld to grab the appropriate IOS image so it can boot up.  Had this
happen to me last week when I accidentally upgraded a 2610 to a
c2600-is-mz-XK1 IOS without it having enough ram (ofcourse it had to be
the only router on our network with less than 24mb)


Hope this helps.

Paul

 Hi,
 My 2620 router just freaked out and it keeps rebooting on and on and on! 
 (It's not a production router!)There is no way to stop this-similiar to auto 
 reboot in nt when it crashes. Can someone please advise as to what's going 
 on? Is there a ctrl-break kind of key to stop this?
 Please help.

Re: Vlan Questions

2000-07-05 Thread Paul Schultz



You can have the server be a part of both VLANs without having to do any
routing..  Here's a config snip with an example.

Everything defaults to VLAN 1, so no extra configuration on any of the
ports that will be only on vlan 1.

For clients on the second vlan, do this for every port that you want on
VLAN 2:

interface FastEthernet0/13 (or whatever port it is)
 switchport access vlan2


now.. for the server, who you want to be part of both VLANs do this


interface FastEthernet0/1
 switchport mode multi
 swithport multi vlan 1,2



That will give you 2 seperate VLANs both being able to connect to the
server on port 1 (in this scenerio.)

Be careful, in this case machines on both VLANs can connect to to the
server, the server can connect to any machine on either VLAN, but clients
on VLAN 1 can not connect to clients on VLAN 2 and vice versa.  For this
it would be beneficial to put a router in place to route between to two
networks.

Hope this helps!

 Hi All,
 
 I am new to this list so sorry if this has been asked before.
 I am really confused about the benefits/setup of Vlans. The more reading I
 do on the subject, the more confused I get. 
 Say, I have a network of 100 users who all access a file server and Internet
 router. How can I split them up into 2 vlans when they all need to access
 the file server and Internet router. I know it is possible to use a 'router
 on a stick' to enable communication between the vlans  but  can you make the
 file server/router members of both vlans without a separate router?  Are
 there any performance/config issues by making them members of both vlans.?
 Also is there any way to assign ports to vlans other than manually
 configuring them. For example say I had two subnets 192.168.14.0 and
 192.168.15.0 on my network. Is it possible to automatically setup two vlans
 so the machines on the 14 subnet are assigned to 1 vlan and the machines on
 the 15 subnet to the other ( I know its possible to automatically assign
 based on Mac address - but that still means you have to find out all the MAC
 addresses on your network ). 
 Any info or pointers to further reading would be grateful.
 
 Regards,
 
 Darren

Re: your mail

2000-07-05 Thread Paul Schultz



I usually just put dialer idle-timeout 2147483, I think this is the max
number of seconds you can put on it, and have had pretty good luck with
the connection not timing out.

 Hello,
 
 How do you disable "dialer idle-timeout" and set the DDR connection
 permanently? I want to permanently connect a DDR call to the isp for
 internet access. I read an info from CCO that say that if you use "no dialer
 idle-timeout", the idle timeout will default to 120 seconds. I issued show
 dialer on the router and I can see that the dialer 0 has idle timeout set to
 "120 seconds".
 How do I disable it? And get permanent connection.
 
 My isdn connection to the isp is not stable. So, I want that once connected
 using DDR, the connection will not timeout or be permanent.
 
 Any help is highly appreciated
 
 Thanks a lot.
