Re: 7507 rate-limit [7:54987]

2002-10-09 Thread Schwantz

Sorry, wrong choice of words perhaps. What I mean is to use the policing
features of ATM. I believe using CAR will take up more processor power as
compared to using the ATM policing.

Re: Confused about MTU size [7:54689]

2002-10-03 Thread Schwantz

I am interested to know what are the applications out there that sets the DF
bit . Does anybdy know and common ones ? The reason for this is because I
want to run LFI on my router for the purpose of VoIP. If I understand how
LFI works, it will "chop" up large data packets so as to reduce possible
jitter. If there are critical applications that don't allow fragmentation,
my guess is LFI would cause the packets to be dropped. I don't want that to
happen. Any suggestions what I could do besides throwing BW at the equation
and turning off LFI altogether ?

Re: OSPF Default Routing [7:46111]

2002-06-08 Thread Schwantz

Hi,

If you look at the lab walk through on page 817, you will notice that the
statement "default-information originate always route-map condition"

The default route will only be propagated if the condition listed in the
route-map statement is met. If it is not met, the default route will not be
propagated.

Things would be alot simpler if you just took out the "always" statement,
but then again, the CCIE lab requirement may require it.

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

2001-05-31 Thread Kevin Schwantz

Giles,

I don't think its a OSPF Cost problem. I tried it without avail. I am not
very sure but I believe OSPF will prefer Intra-Area routes despite having an
alternate path that seemingly has a lower cost. Please correct me if I am
wrong. Could this be an administrative distance thing?
As much as I would have liked to come up with an ingenius solution, I was
not able to.
I have since changed Area 1 into Area 0. It works fine now but I have this
nagging feeling that something more constructive could have been done. The
solution I adopted seems more like a cheap work around. But I guess it works
and that matters more.
By the way, the network is much bigger than what I have illustrated. It
consist of around 40 routers spanning over 16 countries. Its a private IP
network that runs on MPLS to provide VPN's. My next project would be to
implement traffic engineering.

Thats a good point James. Distribution lists are too restrictive and not
very scalable in this situation. I think my first course of action would be
to tweak the OSPF cost between A and C so that traffic from A to D will go
via B instead of C. My only concern is that I might create the situation
where traffic from A destined for C goes via B !! This would just be
creating a new problem.

Peter,
Thanks for your input. I hope my description of the geographical topology in
another post should point out why I want my traffic to route in the manner I
have described. Taking down the link between C and D is not an option. You
mentioned Virtual links. I always thought they were used to link an area to
area 0. I don't see how it can be applied to my case. I can take the easy
way out and place all the routers in area 0 but want to use that action as
my last resort.

2001-05-29 Thread Kevin Schwantz

Thanks for the recommendations. Firstly, let me explain why I need the
routing to behave in such a way. The reasons are purely geographical and I
want to reduce latency. Routers A and B are in London and connected back to
back via FastEth. Routers C and D are in  and SanJose and NewYork
respectively(Connected to both London routers via FR).
I certaintly won't want traffic originating from RouterA ( London ) destined
for RouterD (NewYork) to have to go to SanJose first. It would be much
better if the hop is A-B-D instead of A-C-D.

routerArouterB
 AREA0AREA0
 ||
  routerC  routerD
 AREA1-AREA1


Since we are on the topic of OSPF, could someone help me out on the scenario
above?

Routers A and B have interfaces  in Area 0 and Area1. I want traffic from
routerA destined for routerD to go via router B. This is not the case in my
network because I realise that routerA  prefers Intra-Area routes and thus
would route traffic to routerD via routerC.
What tweaks must I make in order to force the traffic from routerA to
routerD to go via routerB ? Someone suggested building a GRE tunnel between
routerA and routerB and then configure the tunnel to be in AREA1.

Any suggestions?

Did you know that many of the top Cisco engineers are not CCIE qualified? I
have always wondered why people like Sam Halabi and the likes do not get
certified.A Cisco employee told me that these people have everything to lose
and nothing to gain if they take the CCIE exam. If they refrain from taking
the tests, their reputation stays intact. If they take the test and fail,
people will start to question their credibility.

Please don't get me wrong, I am not advocating memory work without any hands
on experience. I just wanted to correct the person who mentioned that one
requires practical experience to pass the BCMSN exam. If I had a choice, I
would have loved to build a multilayer swithching lab to practice on, but
the truth of the matter is that I did not have the resources. If I had put
that obstacle in my path , I would have never gotten my CCNP.I pursued my
CCNP for the purpose of gaining sound fundamentals in networking issues and
to see the broader picture. I strongly believe that if want to pursue a
certification to prove your salt in "hands on" work, go take the CCIE.
 I really wonder why employers don't set up a lab tests to select  job
canidates.

Re: MPLS [7:4597]

I posted a similar thread a week back but got no response from this group. I
suggest you join the mailing list found at this website. These people ONLY
talk MPLS. www.mplsrc.com

MPLS and CoS/QoS [7:4016]

2001-05-10 Thread Kevin Schwantz

Hi,
My company has recently set up international IP network that runs MPLS. We
have already successfully provisioned VPN services on this network. However,
the next phase would be to turn on classes of service mechanisms like
WREN,WBFQ and CAR functions. We are aiming at providing three classes of
service. The first class should guarantee latency and packet loss and if
possible BW. The second class will just guarantee latency whilst the third
class will offer best effort traffic.
I would appreciate any advice the group can give with regards to
implementing these classes of service. What happens if a customer pays for 3
different classes of services at varying bandwidth settings (using CAR) .
What happens to out of contract traffic? If I rate limit my premium traffic
to 30% of the trunk, what happens when I pump in more than that? Would it
spill over the the other classes? I can I monitor the amount of "spill over"
traffic so as to advise the customer to increase the size of the premium
class trunk?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
Kevin

Re: OSPF dropouts [7:3964]

2001-05-10 Thread Kevin Schwantz

I am not sure if this is a OSPF related problem but I recently encountered a
strange problem in my network. I have a WAN link that has been running on
frame relay encapsulation for the past few years without any problems. Just
today, I noticed that I lost connectivity between site A and site B (these
sites are directly connected) .The first thing I did was to do a show int on
both ends. I found both the line protocol and interface to be up. I however,
could not ping the two ends. I couldn't even ping the WAN interface of the
router that I am  connected by console to. How is that possible? Should I do
a shut , no shut?
Another interesting thing I discovered on this router (7500) is that when I
ping the WAN IP address of other interfaces, I get a round trip delay. I
always thought that since the IP address is assigned on that router, the
ping should be less than 10ms ??

I run OSPF,BGP and MPLS. FR guys says that there is no problem with the PVC.

I would appreciate any help rendered.

Thanks!
Kevin

Re: BCMSN Exams [7:3157]

2001-05-04 Thread Kevin Schwantz

I passed BCMSN this week and the pass mark was 699. There are very few
configuration questions and I only had one fill in the blank config
question. Make sure you know what switch is good for what situation as I got
about 7 of these questions.
