Re: Which one is correct?

2000-11-11 Thread Peter I. Slow

It is quite an unclear question.
first,  at least one pvc will need to be setup,  no matter how you look at it;
subinterface or not.
at any type of central site, i reccomend using subinterfaces, this way you when you go
to expand, you dont wind up with an inconsistent config. everything will be on
subinterfaces, and when you type show run, you rconfig will be prettier. from your
"description", it is not apparent if you need point-to-multipont or point-to-point
subinterfaces.

Re: ONE or TWO PIXs

2000-11-11 Thread Peter I. Slow

Uh, what are you thinking? youre about to put as 10K box on a 64k hookup.

screw the pix. pix are awefull. you really ought to invest in a better connection
if i were you i would do that, and use something like a linux box or obenbsd box as
your firewall. either that or a cheap router doing NAT/PAT,  and use the rest of your
moolah to get a nicer connection brought in. if you have two connections, you should
use a router anyway, NOT a pix. a good router can do just about anything the pix can do
anyway. they are MUCH better for reduncany as well, dseepending on how you look at it.

NO, it cannot.
the two types of circuits use completly different methods of framing and

you need an intermediary TDM device to map the timeslots, and do the two

" Virtual links are part of the backbone, and behave as if they were

its a virtual link. its an unnumbered network. a network/segmrnt
nonetheless, and that description sounds like a tunnel.

it's possible im reading it out of context and misunderstanding

..Page 464, P1,
"the VL is a tunnel through which packets may be routed on the optimal

Re: Question on the meaning of "tunneling" [7:6136]

2001-05-28 Thread Peter I. Slow

ok. well my own personal idea of a tunnel is a thing that ecapsulates
traffic to make it transparent to the underlying network, or vice-versa...
the VL does not meet my own definition, but it is an alternate path that the
traffic can take.
In reality, the traffic is ROUTED along the path that you need to take to
get to the opposite endpoint.

I am putting one of these dumb things together to see how it really
functions.

...am i correct?

2001-05-29 Thread Peter I. Slow

Shutup before i inject false BGP routes for your company's AS into the
internet's routing table.

dome of us look down on you because you do things like post miscelaneous
crap to completely unrelated newsgroups, some of which result in holy wars.

We don't care how much you make. Im happy that you make a very substantial
living. if you choose to spend it on licsensing fee's, that's YOUR choice.

Just remember that if our code is broken we write new code.
If yours is broken, you install a service pack.

Now go away, or post something relative  to the newsgroup's topic!

Re: elementary? [7:6359]

2001-05-30 Thread Peter I. Slow

N.
nononononono.
CSMA/CD only gets used when you are not in full duplex. (/me ducks)  ( i
have NEVER seen a full-dup. hub) meaning that if i am using a switch capable
of full duplex (as most are) ..conversations, every station can transmit as
much as they want. this is what differentiates between a hub and a switch.
(but not the only thing)
you are correct in that a 100 meg  HUB with a gig uplink could never fully
utilize the link, but the case is completly different with a switch.

Re: question regarding spanning tree [7:6485]

2001-05-30 Thread Peter I. Slow

nope.
thats wrong...
it's four steps.
1. lowest root BID
2. lowest path cost
3.lowest sending BID
4.Lowest port ID.

all of which are contained in a Config BPDU.
this is also part of how the root bridge is established...

Ok.
I am curious. I KNOW that MRTG is distributed under the GPL.
but the GPL does not clearly state an answer to my question:
Can you offer the USE of mrtg to someone for money?
if i set it up on my box, can i make you pay to use it?
is that fair?

Re: how to track down unused ports on a switch [7:9213]

2001-06-20 Thread Peter I. Slow

OK. THIS IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.
I want to let everyone on this list know, that after a post I made to this
group today,  the second post in this thread, i was pulled aside by my
manager.

The email, which i appologized for, was directed at luke,  member of
groupstudy. in it, I jokingly had called him a "brainless peckerhead".
I appologize if this offended him, im sure he's a nice guy and all, but he
recomended a solution which would take thirty days to complete,

I AM NOT RECANTING MY APPOLOGY.

..However, my manager printed me an email from someone who fancied himself
more professional than I.

The email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] said, " I just thought that someone might
like to see how your engineers are representing your comany publicy", and,
then stated how easy it was to find my company's webpage, with the
information contained in my signature file.

Steve Brokaw, MCSE, CCDA, CCNP, had taken it uppon himself to forward the
email thread to my CEO Ken Mckinnon.
Steve had titled the email "A rude Planetary Networks employee"
At that point, copious amounts of sh*t began flowing downhill at supersonic
speeds. This, I do not think was deserved.

I Post constructively to this group CONSTANTLY, as i have for almost a year
now.
I do my best to help you people out.
I have even put labs together on my own time, with my own equipment, to
simulate problems and scenarios described by members of this group.

..Now, this email was in NO WAY directed at steve. I have not seen enough
posts from him on this group to warrant his policing of it.

Steven was kind enough to sign HIS message

Steve Brokaw, MCSE, CCDA, CCNP
Sr. Network Engineer
817-233-8075 cell

How nice of him. He took something that should have been addressed to the
group, and got up close and personal with my CEO.
"this is how engineers are representing your company"?
Are you serious? Steve, are you trying to get me fired?

Do you guys who post on this list regularly want to have to worry about crap
like this?
Do you want to worry that if you say something that pisses someone off will
come down on you like a jackhammer from your employer?
Are we babies? I thought we stopped tattling on each other years ago.
ESPECIALLY anyone old enough or professional enought to be titled "Sr.
Network Engineer" but then again, steve was the only contact provided, im
not going to say anything offensinve, and will stop right here before i get
in any more trouble.

Im not going to sign any more of my posts.

Of course, you could always go look at my email address and find my
domainname.

I called Steve today. I asked him why he had done this, his response was
"you were being a jerk"... And he hung up.
HOW PROFESSIONAL.
You wasnt disrespectful? how's being hung up on.

If anyone thinks someone else is at fault, YOU TAKE IT UP WITH THEM. NOT
MOMMY OR DADDY. This is not kindergarten.
We are  all engineers, we should all be friends, and work together, we
shouldnt be getting each other in trouble.
Steve, at least I realize that i was at fault here, and appologized, but i
think that you have done is absolutely out of the question.
What goes around comes around, and i hope that one day, you learn your
lessons the same way I get to.

Re: Layer 3 Module on 4006 [7:9229]

2001-06-21 Thread Peter I. Slow

PLEASE GUYS, when you reply to my post, unless i ask you to reply to me,
reply on the list, so that everyone else can learn from the thread!

Now, on to the goodies.

Ok. now.first off, those 32 ethernet interfaces are switched ports. you
configure them on the switch, and trunk the vlans over the two
gigabit-ethernet interfaces that the 4232 connects to the backplane with.

OK. Now, g 3 and 4 interface DIRECTLY TO THE BACKPLANE. on the router, and
on the switch, those interfaces are numbered 1 and 2.
youll notice on the switched interfaces of the blade, the last one is
numbered 34

Now, what i did in my favorite installation of this was put those two gig
ints into a channel group.
on the router, the commands will look lik the following,
int gig 3
channel 1
no shut
int gig 4
channel 1
no shut
int port-cha 1
...make sure it exists.
int  port-c 1.1
encap dot1q 1 

...keep in mind im pulling these commands outta my Arse and they could be
wrong, i do that sometimes...

on the switch, do a
set port chan
command.
Im going to get you a config for one of these things and post it, but i dont
remeber the ip address.
ill get it tomorrow at work...

Re: what is loopback interface for ? [7:9493]

2001-06-22 Thread Peter I. Slow

Did you guys read what happened to me when i freaked at someone like that?
Take a look at the thread "how to track down unused ports on a switch "
and then stop ripping on people who flame you for saying something stupid.
or.
stop saying stupid things.
or
just keep your mouth shut if you cant say anything useful.


BTW, d0rk, i can establish an IP connection to the AUX interface via the AUX
interface/PPP. isnt that an interface?
if all the interfaces fail that wouldnt work either.

stop being dicks.

Love,
Peter Slow.

Re: Wanna Be a CCIE? Try This One [7:6076]

2001-05-29 Thread Peter I. Slow, CCNP Voice Specialist

well, since C and D are in the same area they have the tame topology DB.
they KNOW the best route to each other and are going to use it.
the tunnel idea is kinda stupid.
first let me ask why you would want traffic between two directly connected
routers to NOT use that link?

...But anyway, i would suggest policy routing in this case, or if there is a
large  traffic volume (too much for routers C and D to process switch, make
static routes.

other options include putting C and D in their own areas, and making each a
stub, and get rid of that link between C and D. that would be the best
idea...

play with plath costs,
and you might try a virtual link as well between C and D,
but break glass only in case of emergency, if you know what i mean =P

Absolutely, but he has traffic going from one router to another, it's not
ever exiting the system.
...why would you want to break up an AS that small into two seperate private
ASes?
besides... the OSPF routes are going to take precedence, not that the admin
dist. cant be changed, but ospf is 120, and BGP int routes are 200
(right?)

Or use a route-map to increase the path cost...
Otherwise you lose that filtered path as a backup route...

Im thinking that route maps  which increase the path cost might be your best

WOOPS. Due to me being a jackass. I have been looking at your diagram
incorrectly.
I would think that if OSPF is configured properly, this will already be the
case.
Can i see your routing tables, please?
preferably from all four routers.

I think BGP is completely unecessary in this case.YES, splitting it into two
ASes ans using eBGP would work (well), but i really think that modifying the
path cost would be the right solution.
remember that i never said eBGP wouldnt work. the initial discussion was
about using BGP to do this in a SINGLE AS.

...don't get all in a tizzy, i recognize that you have a good idea.
I just don't like it =P

yup.
thats going to happen when you plug that many serial links into the 3640.
look at the mtu, look at your pps, and look at the 2640's forwarding
capabilities.
i have a cusdtomer who's 2640 freaks out the same way with 8 t-1s coming
