Re: NTP in an Enterprise Network

2000-12-07 Thread Robert O'Brien

To minimise traffic on WAN links, point the ntp to the next hop router
back towards the
ntp server, then only the first router in a site needs to ntp across the
WAN withothers
syncing to it.

 You can setup an NTP Server on a unix machine and let all

 in your routers. Make sure you have a accurate timing in your server.

Re: Strange occurances in syslog

2000-12-02 Thread Robert O'Brien

To everyone who replied,

Thanks. As it turns out I had upgraded to 12.0(10)GD on the router and all of
the other 2500's but didn't remember and as I don't have my e-mail at work
(separate network) I couldn't check when posting. I will try the extra lines in
the list as that definately makes sense.

Will let you know how it goes.

Re: annoying line after config t

Chuck,

This should help.

I currently work in a reasonable size network (for a private network any way) of some
200 network devices and remembering numbers or looking them up is a real pain. DNS
lookups is MUCH easier on the grey matter.

Also, if you use the following on all vty/console lines, the line you are typing will 
be
immediately rewritten after a log line on the screen. This has the benifit of still
seeing any debug lines or whatever, but still being able to read your commands.

 Perhaps your previous statement did not come out on paper as it did in your
 head...I quote "I suppose there are situations where you may want
 lookups -such as when you are using a host file so you can telnet to
 different routers using a pneumonic rather than an ip address"

 Lookups refers to DNS lookups I presume.  Typically, one uses either hosts
 files or DNS to find name to address mappings, just not both at the same
 time.  That said, I have used both methods simultaneously when
 troubleshooting various problems.  The ip domain-lookup command will force
 your IOS to use DNS for name resoution.  Your router will use the entries in
 the internal hosts file regardless of whether you have lookups enabled or
 not.

  Hhhmmm.. interesting food for thought.
 
  Coming from a background in small networks, I suppose my view is a bit
  limited. So let's see if I can discern why the domain lookup function even
  exists in the IOS.
 
  In reasonably well organized larger networks, folks run their own DNS
  internally. Network guys take advantage of the command ip name-server
  a.b.c.d to point the router to their DNS server, which in turn has been
  configured with  router names and ip addresses.  Makes telnetting around a
  bit easier, particularly when router names follow some logical convention.
  E.g. telnet BranchOffice or telnet 3rdfloor rather than the non-intuitive
 ip
  addresses
 
  Can you folks who work/have worked in such environments offer an opinion?

   Another one I recently have come across is the ip tcp synwait-time,
 which
   allows one to manually set the time the router waits for a tcp
 connection
  to
   become established. While the documentation states that the purpose is
 to
   allow for long wait times because of slow links, congestion, or slow
   response from hosts, and can also adjust the wait downwards, limiting
 the
   wait time for those domain lookups.
  
   Of course the no ip domain-lookup accomplishes the same thing.on the
   other hand, I suppose there are situations where you may want lookups -

   as when you are using a host file so you can telnet to different routers

As the area I work in is using this methodology, we are happy with it's traffic
separation and security. The implementation we use is one lot of traffic uses a gre
tunnel and policy mapping into and out of the tunnel at the ends.

Chuck Larrieu wrote:

 I swear the digressions will be the death of me yet!

 I've been reading up on route-maps and policy routing. Got to thinking about
 something one of my associates at work said to me. He likes to use policy
 routing as a means of securing networks in extranet situations. You know -
 central site sells services to a number of unrelated partners. Sometimes
 even internet access. Of course, one can't allow customer A to see customer
 B's network, and visa versa. But both A and B should get to a particular
 service, be that a database, a server, internet access, or whatever.

 So my comrade throws in policy routing. Source addresses from whatever
 interface or source address are only permitted to proceed out a particular
 interface or to a particular destination IP.

 Sounds good on the surface. The question I have is the risk, particularly
 from spoofed addresses. I suppose that matching the source interface
 eliminates the address issue. Still, I gotta wonder  My associate says
 this isn't an issue and that I worry too much.

 Anyone have any thoughts?

Kevin,

In the archives of September and October the Thomas II books you mention both got a
hammering for the number of mistakes they contained and the lower standards than
experienced in the earlier series of books.

Re: CCNP books

2000-10-26 Thread Robert O'Brien

I to am interested to hear peoples thoughts on the cisco press books for
CCNP as the
archives only really had the Thomas II books covered.

Did any one find any improvement in those Thomas II books such as BSCN
as the others
copped a bagging???

Thanks

Kevin,

I am still hunting, that is how I knew about the stuff in the archives.
Hopefully someone else in the group has some thoughts, but I may go the cisco press 
CCNP
Prep library 1587050137 when it is available. I have heard the Sybex stuff is supposed
to be OK.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

Robert

 Robert,

 First, thank you very much for your advise. You just mentioned the two
 Thomas books are not adequate, then what kind of books do you recommend for
 the above two subjects? Cisco Press? Sybex? Or ?

 Thanks,
 Kevin

Restart delay

2000-10-06 Thread Robert O'Brien

Can some one give me a reference that deals with this feature and what
it actually does?? I couldn't find it on the CD.

Or else just let me know what it is and does would be great.
