PCMCIA Flash Card Access Problems

[Roger Sohn]

Hi,
 
I have Cisco 7206VXR router and the unit has 2 slots for PCMCIA Flash Cards.
The IOS I'm running is 12.0.  I have 3 cards of 16MB, 48MB, and another for
128MB.  
 
Here's the problem..
 
I can do everything with the 16MB card without any problems.  But when I try
to access the 48MB or the 128MB it gives me an error message of  "Open
device slot1 failed (Device not ready)".  
 
 
 
Why is it saying that when it's physically in there?  Is it because my IOS
won't allow it to read a card that holds that much memory?  It came out of
my friends 7200 without any problems and it worked for him but not me.  Any
help would be much appreciated.  
 
Thanks,
Roger

Boot Problems on a 7200

[Roger Sohn]

I've tried searching massively through CCO and can't seem to find the
solution to this problem.

I have a Cisco 7206VXR and everytime I try to boot it up, everything is
dandy...but it always comes to the prompt of "Router(boot)".  This is the
output when I run a "show version".  It says that the system is returned to
ROM by reload.  Is this tied in with the problem?  I currently have it set
to boot off the flash disk with the image of c7200-boot-mz.120-10.S.  Am I
missing something?

RE: Boot Problems on a 7200

[Roger Sohn]

When I go to CCO to download an IOS image, how do I know which type is the
"full version" that I need to download?

Is it the Enterprise or IP image?  I tried to download and use the "Boot
Image" off of CCO, but when I boot off of it...The router gives me a "CPU ID
Error" when it tries to load that image on start.  How do I determine if
it's an RX boot image or a regular full version boot image?  

You are right though because that only image that I'm booting off of now is
merely 3 megs.  

Thanks for your help and sorry if I'm asking too many questions.  

I can't seem to find a help page or FAQ on this stuff.

Your problem is the version/type of code that you are running. You will
need
to download the full version of IOS from CCO. The version that you have
is
an rxboot image. ROM uses this code to boot. I believe that if you can
go in
and look at the flash you will see that the image is only about 1.5 meg
where a full IOS image would be at least 5 megs or larger. You will
probably
have to use the TFTPDNLD command in ROM to upgrade to the new IOS code.

RE: juniper and cisco

[Roger Sohn]

 Actually, that's not true anymore.  Cisco released their OC192 routers
about 3-4 weeks ago and it performs and scales better than Juniper's
routers.  

Juniper's equipment doesn't scale well and performance loss is experienced
under a full loaded node of interface cards.  Cisco's stuff doesn't do this
and because of their independent architecture and design, everything runs at
a carrier class level whether it has just one card or 8.  

Juniper was first to come out with the fastest backbone routers, but because
Cisco retains the carrier class reliability, performance, and
scalability...that's why it took them a bit longer.  I guess it's worth the
wait.

For our company, Cisco does not yet provide reliable
products that scale to OC192 and beyond. Juniper
easily handles this for our backbone interfaces. I
don't work with it directly myself, but that's what
the higher-up engineers have told our group. :>

RE: what is the average age of people in this stuff?

[Roger Sohn]

 I commend you on your attitude and experience accumlated.  My advice to you
is to continue to rock on.  I am 24 and I've been working in this field for
about 4 years now (I'm still working on a BS) as a Network Engineer with
CCNA and working towards my CCNP.  

What I learned from others is that if you really want something and want to
push yourself ahead and faster above others...continue to go after it
instead of waiting around for it to happen.  

I know for sure that it has paid off for meSpending the regular 8 hours
a day with your work and any overtime outside of that does go to my higher
learning and self-studies.  It's the only reason why I've moved up so fast
and have gone so far.  Do it now while you don't have a wife and kids to
worry about.  =)

If they think you are young, they will probably think I am still a baby

I
also have an AA degree and also seeking my bachelor degree in computer
science.  I plan on getting my CCIE within the next few years.  I have
worked with an internet company for more than three years now.  I have
been told that I am impatient and immature, but I am not one to just sit

greatly thankful.  Also if someone veterans can give some pointers/tips

Re: CCNA Pass Mark

[Roger Sohn]

It's about anywhere from 65-70ish questions and you have about one hour and
a half to answer everything.  It's more than enough time.  I breezed through
the entire exam in 25-30 minutes.  You'll either know it, or you won't.
Passing mark for the 2.0 exam is 822.  It used to be 760 or something like
that for the CCNA 1.0.

Re: CCNA Pass Mark

[Roger Sohn]

It doesn't matter what the passing mark is.  Just study for the exam and if
you know the stuff, you will pass it.  If you don't, then you will fail it.
Simple as that.

The test is about 65 questions and there may be more and there may be less.
Just figure that you have approximately that many questions and take the
test.  It's not that important.  If you know your stuff, you will have WAY
more than enough time to answer all the questions so concentrate on the
actual material on the test.  Not how many questions.

If you really need to know exactly how many questions there are, then go
waste $100 and flip through all the questions.  Sorry to be so harsh, but
this isn't rocket science here.

Try Ebay auctions.  You will find most of everything that you may need and
pretty good prices.  Outside vendors who sell used equipment usually mark

CCIE Exam Fee

[Roger Sohn]

Yes...Cisco is increasing the cost of the CCIE Lab Exam to $1250 effective
April 1st and the Written has already jumped to $300 since March 15.

Cisco employees don't get to take the Lab exam for free either anymore.  Now
we only get 2 free attempts and after attempt afterwards is $1250.

Re: Performance Comparision between Linux OS Firewall and Cisco PIX 525

[Roger Sohn]

There are a few ways to go about this.

1)You can run a stripped down (running minimal and only required services)
Linux box serving only SSH connections and you can use that machine to login
into your PIX (allowing your PIX to only accept connections from this SSH
server) and perform administration.
2) Or...you can just run the PIX and I think you can also run a TACACS+
server with it to authenticate encrypted passwords and logins, or run
encryption on the PIX itself.  I could be mistaken, but I know something
like that would probably work best.

But the thing that people have to understand is, that *no one* can
absolutely guarantee that anything can't be compromised.  It will always be
a 99.999% chance that it will be secure.  It all depends on how the
firewall you choose is set up.  Anything is breakable.

But in my opinion, I would recommend running a hardware firewall solution
such as the PIX or equivalent because the device is specifically made to run
the firewalling processes.  Unlike a Linux/Unix/NT box with a software-based
firewall system such as Checkpoint, etc. a hardware solution does not have
the OS overhead with services that firewalling does not require and also
exploits and patches that you need to constantly be up to date about, issues
that others have already mentioned.  It just comes down to how much money
you want to spend and also what you prefer.  I may prefer the Cisco PIX, but
I have friends that recommend a home-grown Unix box solution.

Just trying to help,
Roger

Re: Gateway of last resort vs. default Gateways

Default gateway, default route, default gateway, and may sound alike, but
each is a distinct function.  Three of the four potentially relate to one
another, and have to do with the behavior of a Cisco box when it has
routing enabled.

You use default gateway, however, on a box that is acting as a host, not as
a router.  For example, if you had a switch or access server, or a router
"box" with "no ip routing" that you were using as a bridge or X.25 switch,
that box has an IP address for management.  If the box needs to get to a
TFTP, DNS, SNMP, or other server that is not on its own subnet, the box has
to follow the same rules as any other end host:  send traffic to the
default router.  The Cisco default gateway statement is one way of telling
a non-routing box how to send traffic not on its own subnet.

The default route is a concept in RIP, OSPF, and BGP.  IGRP definitely does
not understand it.  According to some documentation, EIGRP doesn't
understand the convention I'm about to describe, but I have heard that some
versions of EIGRP do.  Needs to be checked in a lab.

The default route is the route to the address 0.0.0.0/0, which can be set
with a static route:

   ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1

where 10.1.1.1 is a reachable router interface.

You can also create the default route with a default-information-originate
router subcommand.

The default network has a similar function to the default route -- it's
where you send things you don't otherwise know where to send -- but it's
specified differently.  Note that the default router address in the static
route statement above is just that -- it's a specific host address.  The
default network statement, however, specifies not a host address but a
prefix to which you can route. (E)IGRP automatically elects a candidate
default network if you do not specify it.

GOLR is subtle.  Remember that the individual routing protocols do not
themselves decide what the default route is, or, for that matter, things
such as load balancing.  The routing protoools (or static routes) are
submitted as "suggestions" to the process that installs routes in the
routing table (or routing information base to be technical). In other
words, if you have multiple sources of routing information, "show IP route"
tells you what was installed in the RIB, which is not necessarily the view
of any specific routing protocol.

GOLR appears at the end of the show IP route display, when a GOLR exists.
Candidates for GOLR can come from any routing protocol or static route.
The selected GOLR is the address to which to send otherwise unroutable
traffic, an address from the most preferred source of default information
based on administrative distance.

Some examples might help.

  If you run OSPF (AD 110) and RIP (AD 120), and there is a default route
in each (presumably from another router generating default information),
the GOLR will be the OSPF default.

  If you run IGRP (AD 100) with a default network and OSPF, the GOLR will
be the IGRP default network.

  If you run RIP but have a static route to 0.0.0.0 with AD less than 120,
the GOLR will be the static route.

  If you ran OSPF and IGRP, but overrode the default administrative
distances such that OSPF's were less than 100, an OSPF default route would
be the GOLR if OSPF had one.  If there were no default route available to
OSPF, the IGRP default network would become the GOLR even if OSPF's AD were
less than IGRP's

Re: IBGP neighbors

[Roger Sohn]

By having route reflectors, it would eliminate the need for having a fully
meshed ibgp network.  The route reflectors would update and pass on routing
information to all the other clients in the network, without having to run
all these connections to each other, thus allowing to scale the network.

Re: Help for BOOTFLASH

[Roger Sohn]

I also found it very confusing at first, but I figured this out after much
deliberation with trial and errors.

For the more upscale and "bigger" routers such as the 7200/7500 series, you
need to have a boot image and an IOS image.  The boot images are usually
between 3-5MB, around there.

You can tell if it's a boot image because it will list it in CCO under the
description.  When you choose an IOS image, you see a lot of different kinds
because each IOS image has certain built-in "goodies".  Some have some
firewalling capabilities and some support stronger encryption and etc.  The
IOS images can become pretty beefy taking up around 8-12MB.  For some of
those images, I would also recommend you check to see that you have enough
dram to run the image as well.

Just Passed Routing BSCN 2.0 [7:268]

[Roger Sohn]

The test was very straight forward and you either know the stuff or you
don't.

I only used the Cisco Press book to study for this exam and read the book
cover to cover twice.  61 questions and I felt like about 50% was involved
with OSPF and 35% BGP and the remaining questions were involved with IGRP,
EIGRP, and other basics like VLSM.  Everything mentioned on Cisco's website
basically.  You just have to occasionally watch out for specific wording.
For example, there are a few questions that may give you multiple answers
that are correct...but you have to understand that the test is asking you
for the *Best* answer.

But I definitely think that my previous experience with working on routers
at work helped me out tremendously.

Thanks to everyone on this list (there are so many smart people on this list
that always kept me motivated to continue to study hard) and for those
studying for this, keep studying.  You can do it!

Choosing the right IOS Image [7:739]

[Roger Sohn]

Hi All,

Just wanted to hear what other people are using (or would recommend) for the
IOS images on their 2500 series routers with a typical 16MB DRAM/ 8MB Flash
setup.  

I remember hearing from Louie that he ran 12.09 Enterprise Plus IOS on all
of his 2500's with that 16/8 configuration.  There's a 12.7 version but it
won't fit on only 8MB of flash space.  Does this mean that I should I
consider upgrading to 16MB flash instead?

On another note, can anyone recommend a good reference for knowing which
type of IOS images to use?  Like how I can assess whether I would want to
use a Service Provider image rather than an Enterprise image, or an IP
Image, or maybe even an Enterprise/FW/IDS IPSEC image.  I'm trying to find
out more information on what requirements would prompt me to choose one over
the other.  

I've only been able to find a few docs on CCO and they haven't helped me
much.  

Any info is always appreciated!

Thanks,
Roger

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or has the size of the Enterprise Plus IOS

I thought it used to be like around 6 or 7 MB but now checking it on CCO, it
takes up 10MB.

RE: OT- Another cool thing about Cisco (Re: Cisco fire staff) [7:2442]

[Roger Sohn]

Actually, I don't really think it's considered a "stunt".  A lot of other
CEO's do this as well such as Larry Ellison of Oracle.  The salary doesn't
really mean too much to them when they do have stock options that are worth
a lot more in the millions and billions of dollars.  

But I think it's important to recognize that stock options aren't actually
considered cold cash until you exercise them.  I don't know how to exactly
explain it, but it's not a direct expense to the company as an employee's
salary would be.  So with John Chambers taking a $1 yearly salary, that
actually helps in contributing to reduce the company's expenses.  Maybe not
as much as people would like to see it, but every penny counts.  Chambers
personally stated that he did it to also help keep 2 or 3 important execs
(who he said who were very close to him) with the company.  

All in all, I think it's pretty fair for Chambers to have the amount of
options that he does have.  If he does a good job, the company will then do
well and so will his stock (more $$ for him) and also for the shareholders
and employees.  It's a win/win situation.  If he performs horribly as a
company leader, then his options will suffer and his performance will
reflect that.  I personally think that it will be a true test to how good
Chambers really is.  If he really is "All That", then he will definitely
pull Cisco through this economic downturn and prove to people that he can
really lead.  I hope he does.  Cisco really holds a big part of shaping the
internet and the way things work.  

Just my 2 cents,
Roger

It's a stunt.  His salary was like $300K.  What are his stock options for
the year worth?  I can't recall the numbers I heard (plus rumors aren't
worth much if you can't find some proof).  I found this story stating in
1997 he received 800,000 stock options for the year.  $300K is a drop in the
bucket with those sort of options (granted, you need to cash them in at the
right time).
http://www.forbes.com/asap/1998/0223/052.html

Oh, I found a better link from April '99 when he exercised 900,000 options
and then sold 850,000 of them for a profit of $80M:
http://www.xent.com/apr99/0013.html

Oh, I found even better numbers:
http://www.business.com/directory/computers_and_software/cisco_systems/peopl

I wonder if he's giving up the $1M bonus for the year?  The man has $1.23B,
yes BILLION worth of stock options.  Is it a stunt?   Hmm.  I'm not jealous,
nope, not me ;-)

Ok, $300K compared to $1B, it's 0.03% of his worth.  Whoop-tee-doo.

Cisco also only allows 2 free lab attempts, and anything after that you have

Cisco Pix Question [7:4729]

[Roger Sohn]

Here are the following concerns my client has in regards to thier
configuration.  Please give me your thoughts on this situation. 

--
 
Here are a few of the Questions we have in relation to the PIX 515 Firewall.

We are using IOS 5.2 on the PIX just so you know.

 

We need to Re-IP the Crypto Map used in the PIX to Connect to a Router in

Sweden. I know certain statements like the one below will disappear when the

Access-List for the VPN is changed. We need to make sure there are no other

statements that do something along the same lines.

crypto map mymap 5 match address 100

 

We also want to check that the statements that effect the VPN Tunnel's

Lifetime and Bit Size are correct and Reasonable, we have noticed lagging

effect on the VPN Tunnel and this could be due to misconfigurations, or just

general Internet traffic. This is a experience Question, because these are

based on Traffic Flow, the size of the company, the pipe to the Internet,

the General Traffic Are all concerns to make when setting these numbers. We

use a Full T1 and don't host any Public Services Like DNS, WWW, or FTP for

anyone outside of our company. My feeling is these numbers are based off the

books and not nessarily based on our Company, therefore they could be

incorrect. So I wish to have someone tell me thier feelings on these

settings we are currently using.

crypto ipsec security-association lifetime seconds 86400

crypto map mymap 5 set security-association lifetime seconds 9600 kilobytes

4608000

There are also Statements that dictate the lifetime of Translations, again

we wish to make sure they are reasonable.

timeout xlate 3:00:00 conn 1:00:00 half-closed 0:10:00 udp 0:02:00

timeout rpc 0:10:00 h323 0:05:00

Don,

My lab consists of :
1 2514 Dual-eth
3 2501's for BGP labs
2 4000's and a 4500 w/ various combinations of NPs (Eth, Serial, BRI, Token,

etc.)
*I think these are a great buy on ebay because you can change out the 
different NP's to adapt to the particular lab config you want to 
acheive.I also loaded mine with 16dram 8flash and 11.3 IP/IPX/AT/DEC.
1 2948G
2 1912's with Enterprise
1 2509 for Reverse Telnet (you can also get CS-508's & CS-516's on ebay, 
which are a cheaper type of Terminal Server w/o the Serial 
Interfaces.just an Eth port.)
1 Teltone ISDN Simulator (I got this on a trade of some equipment with my 
local community college..a STEAL.of course, to do the ISDN labs,

you can also get 2 ISDN circuits for a couple of months if you can afford
it.
I agree with Stogieman that the ATM and Voice stuff is probably easier doing

by renting some rack time from Fatkid (plug,plug!) or 
ipexpert.net.they have a SWEET setup..13 routers, a Frame
Switch,
an ATM switch, voice capabilities, ISDN Sim,etc...
* I would also suggest buying your cables in bulkebay,ebay,ebay
Good Luck and, remember, you can sell it all when you're done and take a 
vacation :)

OT: Beware of Shady Equipment Sales [7:10078]

[Roger Sohn]

Most of you are probably aware of this already, but just as a reminder...


Be extremely CAREFUL of outside scam artists that try to solicit and try to
sell you Cisco equipment (or anything for that matter) by contacting you
directly.

I'm constantly bidding/selling on ebay in search of good deals and
occasionally I get emailed outside of auctions if I am interested in
purchasing the same equipment directly.  This one person emailed me the
following offer and he seemed pretty innocent and professional.  He offered
to
sell me 2514's at $450 (very good price) and 2513's at $550 (way too
reasonable), all loaded with 16/16 memory.


I agreed to his offer and informed him that I could deliver cash if he was in
the local area, or pay via COD or escrow.  He came back claiming that he
supposedly "lost tons of money and equipment" through COD and didn't want to
pay costs for escrow (although I offered to split the costs with him).  He
basically said that he could only accept payment of wire transfer and that I
could "trust" him to ship out on the same day on receipt of payment.  I asked
why he didn't post those items on ebay and he says that he'd rather do
business with people directly.  (go figure)  I ended up politely declining
his
offer.  He was never rude or discourteous to me though.

So in a nutshell, be really careful of these types of people.  Who knows, he
could've been legit and honestly been trying to sell decent equipment and
fairly low prices.  Maybe he doesn't want to list his name and maybe he
doesn't have his own business email address, but I'm 99% sure that this guy
is
out to make a quick scam on some sucker who will fall for his trick.

repair or replacement at our cost.



We also have many other Cisco routers, network

modules, switches, hubs, etc. available at great

prices.  Let me know if you need anything else that

isn't on the list of commonly wanted models and I can

RE: How to get the activation key for my clone Pix [7:36569]

[Roger Sohn]

Now, nowlet's not threaten each other.   I'm sure the guy is just
messing around with this to see if it's possible to get the contraption to
just work.  Besides, what's the big deal anyway?  I doubt he has any
intentions of selling anything or doing something outrageous like that
anyway.  It's sort of interesting anyway - like the whole idea of porting
the JunOS onto a unix box and seeing if you can still capture most of the
functionality of their routers.

You should take the 400 you spent and buy a 501.  I promise it will be
less
than your legal fees if Cisco were to get involved.

Subject: How to get the activation key for my clone Pix?

Hi Everyone,
After struggling for the past two days, I have
successfully cloned a Pix firewall by using my PC.
I plug the 16MB flash card into the PC's ISA slot
and the PC recognize that it is a Pix flash card
(cost me $400.00). It boots up fine and everything
seems to be in order.  However, after the boot up
sequence, it asks me for the activation key.  I've
been trying many different possible scenarios without
much success.  I even tried to use the activation key
from another Pix firewall but that doesn't work
either.

Anybody know how I can fake my clone Pix with a
fake activation key?  By the way,I am running Pix OS
code version 6.1(2). I even tried 5.3(1), 5.3(2),
6.0(1) and 6.1(1) and one of them works.  By the way,
the PC has 128MB of RAM and a 16Mb Flash ISA card.
I tried to clone a Pix520.

Please help.

Jason

Frame-Relay Switch intf-type DCE/DTE [7:14434]

[Roger Sohn]

I have a hub and spoke combination going without any problems.  But the only
weird thing happening is that on my Frame-Relay switch (2522), I have to set
the "frame-relay intf-type" to DCE for all the serial interfaces I'm using,
otherwise the layer 2 connections won't come up on the hub and spoke routers.

Should this be happening?

I have 3 DTE ends and 1 DCE end of cables plugging into my switch.  I thought
if I had the DTE side of the cable plugged into my S0 of my frame relay
switch, then on the interface configuration mode for "S0", I would specify
the
intf-type to be DTE.  And vice versa if the DCE side of the cable is plugged
into my switch.

OSPF over Frame-Relay - Interface-DLCI vs. Map IP/Broadcast [7:18917]

[Roger Sohn]

I'm running OSPF over Frame-Relay in a hub and spoke
configuration.(CCbootcamp labs)  I've set up Router1(hub) to have interface
S0.1 (p2p) and interface S0.2(multipoint).  For multipoint connections, it's
pretty easy because I just input map ip statements.

But for my p2p connection, I'm having trouble understanding when I'm
supposed to use the "frame-relay interface-dlci" , "frame-relay map ip",  or
frame-relay map ip broadcast" statements on the hub and spokes.  Can anyone
help shed some light on this?

I've tried using a combination of all 3 types on both the hub and spoke, and
every time the hub and spoke are able to ping each other without any
problems.

-Roger
