RE: PIX Exec-timeout [7:41382]

2002-04-13 Thread scott jensen

command syntax:
timeout [conn [hh:mm:ss]] [h323 [hh:mm:ss]] [rpc [hh:mm:ss]] [uauth
[hh:mm:ss]] [udp [hh:mm:ss]] [xlate [hh:mm:ss]]

conn hh:mm:ss   Idle time until a connection slot is freed (default value is
12 hours).  Use 0:0:0 for the time value to never time out a connection.


Manually:

kill telnet_id   Telnet session ID.  Use "show who" to display Telnet
session IDs.

RE: PIX Exec-timeout [7:41382]

2002-04-13 Thread scott jensen

I apologize for previous incorrect information. (timeout conn)

Try this instead...

Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Documentation:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/index.htm

PIX Firewall Version 6.1 > Cisco PIX Firewall Command Reference


show telnet timeout

telnet timeout minutes  (telnet timeout 5)

(The number of minutes that a Telnet session can be idle before being closed
by PIX Firewall. The default is 5 minutes. The range is 1 to 60 minutes.)

"who" or "show who"  with "kill" works manually...

Re: Dark Fiber question [7:769]

2001-04-16 Thread Scott Jensen

JP

#1)  Here's another option, GSR with OC-48 optical regenerators.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/rt/12000/prodlit/corbr_ov.htm

Then you're going to need facilities to house these regenerators.


#2)  One advantage of leasing dark fiber is your company could implement a
DWDM solution and pay as you grow.  You could add an OC-48 as you see fit by
simply adding lambdas (OC-48 wavelengths).

It all depends on how scalable you want your network, and if you would meet
these requirements for this much bandwidth.

David and Andyh both brought up good arguements for leasing from a carrier.
50ms APS on carrier OC-48 Ring.

Just my 2 cents...

CCIE Optical Qualification Beta (Exam 351-020) [7:714]

2001-04-15 Thread Scott Jensen

Hello Everybody!

I was just curious if anyone has scheduled to sit in on the CCIE Optical
Beta?

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/ccie_program/whatsnew.html

I see the beta is only US$50.  After reviewing the CCIE Blueprint, does
anyone have any thoughts on how difficult the exam may be?

I see the Blueprint lists the Cisco ONS 15900, but I believe I saw a press
release that this product has been discontinued?  Can anyone verify this?

Thanks In Advance!

Happy Easter!


Scott

The point being made by all responding is that the device you are looking for to

Re: OSPF

2001-03-16 Thread Scott Jensen

While I see what you are saying. EIGRP is still advertised as a flat routing
protocol by Cisco, while OSPF is advertised as being an "area-based hierarchical
system" with features found in that type of protocol. Scalabiliby being a very
important feature at that.

Re: OSPF design question re: location of Area Border Router

2001-02-28 Thread Scott Jensen

David, you put the ABR at the main location with one interface (usually LAN) in area 0
and the other in the area created for the remote location. All interfaces at the remote
location would then be associated with the area created for this new site. The ABR is
located at the main location because as you said you do not want to expand area 0 over
the WAN link.

Re: IBM ATM Switches

2001-02-28 Thread Scott Jensen

The IBM 8265 is a good switch. It was not OEMed from Xylan (that was the IBM 8274 /
Xylan Omniswitch) with the 8265 you would also need the MSS for ATM/LANE 
configurations.
There is a config tool available for both and it actually looks like the 2216 router
config tool, with the addition of Switching, ATM, and LANE added to it. Same look and
feel.

Re: One last Layer3 switching ?

2000-10-06 Thread Scott Jensen

You are correct in the part of 24 separate collision domains which also
allows you to put the 24 ports in Full Duplex mode. The part about 24
broadcast domains would only hold true if each port were in a different VLAN
no 2 ports in the same VLAN. I.E. a port is an isolated collision domain and
a VLAN is an Broadcast domain.

This would depend on if an address for the WINS server is configured on the 
workstation.
One of my clients uses DHCP to assign workstation addresses and the WINS server both
primary and backup are defined. In this network ip helper addresses are not required to
find the WINS server, but are required to find the DHCP server. Statically assigned
stations and servers also are configured with the WINS server addresses.

Re: help with 2948G-L3 switch

2000-07-28 Thread Scott Jensen

I have never had to use an ip helper address in an NT/95/98 environment to date. The
ip helper address has only been needed to get to the DHCP server for an IP address.
Accessing the PDC has never required one.

Are the workstations in the .5 network setup correctly for WINS, proper domain,
ect. What is the error message you are getting when the .5 segment workstations
are trying to log on?

Re: LAN design

2000-07-21 Thread Scott Jensen

All things taken into consideration a core in many cases will be better served at
layer 2, with routing taking place at the edges of the core at the access and
distribution layers. This moves the path selection processing to the edges and
leaves the core as a layer 2 transit area normally with large pipes between the
distribution and access layers of your design. Layer 3 switching may change this
to some degree.

Re: IBM Gurus - Please Help!

2000-07-13 Thread Scott Jensen

DSLw or DSLw+ is the way to encapsulate SNA into an IP packet for
transport across the WAN. It will require you to create a peer connection
form one side of the WAN to a router on the otherside. once this is done
the SNA will be encapsulated into IP for transport to the peer partner. In
setting this up you may want to consider having the router at the remote
location establish the peering connection. That will reduce the cycles on
your main networks router, should a WAN connection, DSU, or interface
fail. You will still need bridging turned on, but will not have to bridge
other protocols unless you need them.

You can do this with the "os2ping" command. That is if you are running OS/2.
