Hello Charles,

Please try as an example

logging 192.168.x.x
logging trap debugging
logging facility local6  

( you can use other facilities here but match what you do on the SUN box.)

On the SUN box try (in the syslog.conf file)

local6.debug/var/adm/messages  (or any file you like)

Hey All,

I have been trying to set up my 3660 (IOS 12.1) access router to log
everything to my HP OpenView server (Solaris 8).  It seems simple to set
up on the Cisco side with only a few commands but it doesn't seem to be
working.  The 'show logging' command indicates that it is working and
sending messages to the remote box but it is not receiving anything.
Any thoughts, guidelines, info?

Thanks,
Charles.

These are the configuration items I entered:

logging on
logging buffered 1 debugging
no logging rate-limit
logging trap debugging
logging facility syslog
logging 192.168.x.x

Results of 'show logging':

RE: Could not ping 127.0.0.1 [7:17317]

2001-08-26 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

Almost sure that one cannot assign an address on the 127 network to a cisco
router. This address is reserved for special reasons. One of the reasons
that come to mind is to test the TCP/IP stack on a workstation or Server. If
pinging the 127.0.0.1 address is successful, you can be almost sure that the
TCP/IP stack loaded properly. Now you could proceed to ping default gateway
etc etc.
Cisco routers provide this functionality by using a loopback command on
interfaces. If packets sent by an interface come back to the router, then
TCP/IP is probably OK. Allowing the 127 net on routers would probably cause
havoc especially on broadcast networks.

On Cisco routers you must explicitly assign a loopback interface. If you
want it to be 127.0.0.1 you must do like this:

conf t
int loopback1
ip address 127.0.0.1 255.255.0.0

Then you will be able to ping yourself at this address.

The automatic well known loopback is valid only for nic cards and other
devices where you wouldn't be able to setup a loopback by other means.

RE: FR +OSPF Scenerio...CCBOOTCAMP LAB:3 [7:17117]

2001-08-25 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

This is an interesting situation. You are not allowed to use the ip ospf
network command to change the network type ? Ok. Are you allowed to change
the ptp on R1 to multipoint ? No ?
The network type is a critical factor on whether full adjacency is achieved.

Frame map statements and ip ospf priority 0 statements on R2 and R3 in
conjunction with dcli and neigbor statements on R1 should take care of the
links between R1, R2 and R3. No ip ospf network command needed here.
The link between R1 and R4 will probably become two-way without achieving
full adjacency because the network types will always be different unless you
are allowed to change it in some way. Is there a specific requirement to
keep R1's link to R4 as point-to-point ? If not this subinterface could be
changed to multipoint and OSPF should not have any problem with it. 
Let us know if you find another solution.

Hi Guys..

Facing some strange problem in OSPF..
DO u know any condition if two routers become adjacent but still cant 
exchange routes???What could be the reasons for it?

In this Lab, We  have 2 subinterfaces on R1.One multipoint subinterface is 
connected to two routers R2  R3 physical interfaces.
The other PtP subinterface on R1 is connected to R4 physical interface.
Now problem is that we are not allowed to use IP OSPF NETWORK COMMADN
on these interfaces in order to make the same network type.

The problem I m facing is  on R1  R4 link.When I applied debug ip ospf,I 
see  Hello mismatch SO I match the Hello values on both sides .AFter that I 
am able to see that R4 is now adjacent with R1 Point to point interface but 
Still I cant see any route from R1 coming on R4 or vice versa..

Any Suggestion GUY;

Thanks a lot

RE: default routes

2001-01-01 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

One of the issues here might be which route is better than the other for a
particular destination. 
There is only one gateway of last resort in the routing table, although
there may be more than one candidate default.
If this router is on a stub network, then it might be better to do:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface 1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface 2 10

By changing the admin distance you get a redundant default. If interfface 1
goes down, interface 2 will take over immediately.

If the configuration remains as you have written it, I suspect that you will
have per destination load balancing.
But since routing detail is lost when using static default routes, packets
will not necessarily take the best route to a given destination.

There are other issues, but they depend on the topology and the routing
protocols in use.

Winston.

RE: can SPAN port transmit?

2000-12-30 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

It would be a pleasant surprise to me if the normal switched SPAN port
captured all your LANE traffic.
It is not supported because of the way the LECs talk to the LES and other
LECs. BUS traffic you should see very easily in an ELAN. ELANs may appear to
be similiar to Broadcast VLANS but they use a different
mechanism(addressing, etc) to do the simulation. In other words, I do not
think it is supported. Having said that, if you do find a way to capture
this traffic, I hope that you will share it with us. There might be a
vendor-specific way to do it. I love this ATM stuff, why did they remove it
from the CCIE Lab exam ???

I do use intra-vlan routing in that a within the vlan is a gateway for that
VLAN of course an arp (that I see) for the gateway occurs... then when
traffic is sent to the vlans gateway to route to another vlan or anywhere...
I do NOT see that
As you said I would have to go to where the mapping occurs (a bunch of 7507s
with AIPs)... I would find the HSRP active router... no problems...  Still
this does not give me what I was looking for...
In Top Down Design (shameless Plug), a lot of discussion goes to knowing
thyself and the traffic.  What I wanted to see was the amount of traffic,
type of traffic, broadcast versus standard on a given VLAN.  First to
baseline the VLAN, then to identify within my network where I may need
additional improvements.  We have some 16000 host and seem rock solid...  We
have way more bandwidth then needed but expect a huge amount of growth..
not in host but in applications...  two of my 120+ work group managers
constantly insist on infrastructure related problems... yet LMS and HP Open
view show nothing.  Each time they raise a stink, me or one of my
technicians find not only nothing wrong, but often see no symptoms.  Still
these WGMs get managements ear.  In all we have proven each and every time
these guys are off their rockers but it did raise my desire to span the
entire VLAN to Sniffer Pro and get some baselines of the VLANs traffic.  I
wanted to do this from my office simply by creating the LEC spanning the
vlan ... and wham...  In the end all I catch mostly is some CDP, HSRP, and
other type broadcast

Now spanning the port works exactly and accomplished everything I have
wanted it to where I use it.  I have been able to get profiles of our
outbound and inbound data to our network.  I have been able to show growth
and get additional assets with empirical data...

Anyway  thanks Nigel...  I keep looking for a way to capture ALL the data in
a given VLAN... this kinda does make ya wish for a HUB mode.. not

 hmmm.
 I fully understand the Lane ATM Vlan Elan relationships.
 What is happening is that I only see the broadcast on the specific Vlan.
I
 do not see the direct Vlan to Vlan traffic nor the Vlan to Vlan Gateway
 address...

NT: This won't happen unless you implement some type of inter-vlan routing
in
which case you're no longer monitoring at layer 2 which is where the span
ports
on the switched devices are suppose to monitor/capture. Of course to monitor
different vlans you would have to redefine you SPAN port values if you were
looking to still mointor on Layer 2 .  However, To monitor the VLAN to VLAN
or VLANto VLAn gateway traffic you would have to do this where your VLAN
maps to layer 3, which would mean at either the RSM(where you would
probably have your HSRP gateways defined) or at router with
a AIP card that provides the layer 3 requirememt.


I assumed that the trunked ports were not passing the traffic
 out the lane blades because the Cam Dynamics recognized that the
destination
 MAC was not down that port (trunked port... therefore it dropped the frame
 and my spanned port on the other side of the cloud never got the frame...
 and yes everything else is in place... a lec is configured on my Spanned
 port switch's lane blade...

 I clearly do not know what I am missing...  I really feel I have covered

RE: NetBios forwarding (Addendum)

2000-12-30 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

Hello John,
Here is my opinion. Temporarily, take the software or the workstation to the
same subnet of the Server and see if it runs OK. While it is there, you can
capture a few packets to see the conversations and the ports that are being
utilized. This gives you a pretty good idea of the goal. If that is
inconvenient, then do a ip forward-protocol any-local-broadcast very
temporarily. Contrary to popular belief, it should not kill your router
unless it is already on the brink.
Assuming that it is the Netbios ports(137,138,139), You might be better of
using the ip helper-address command and the no ip helper-address command for
the ports you do not want to be sent across the router. I think that there
is a default of 7 UDP protocols which are automatically forwarded with this
command.

In your config below, I think it might work, but only 1 access-list would do
the trick because the server should not do any broadcasting once it is
contacted by the client. Of course, that depends on the application
software. What is it called anyway ?

Access-Lists are a necessary evil which should be avoided whenever possible.
Personally, I think that less resources would be used to decide whether to
drop or foward a broadcast than to compare it to an access list.

Winston.

RE: NetBios forwarding (Addendum)

If you have decided to do it with these commands, do not forget the other
UDP broadcasts which are automatically forwarded.
Have you also considered putting permanent static routes in the workstation
and server ?. Will the application allow this for communication ? If it does
, you do not have to touch the router.
Let us know how it turns out.

RE: IP Multicasting TTL

2000-12-29 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

Kevin,

I believe that when the multicast packet arrives at an interface the TTL in
the IP header is automatically decremented by 1.
This applies even if a threshold has been set. 
If the TTL-threshold on an interface is set to a number which is higher than
the TTL in the multicast packet, then the packet will be dropped at that
interface.
Example: If my initial TTL value is 64, I can set a TTL threshold of 65 at
all the border routers and the multicast packets will never leave the
internal Net. The multicast packets will go from internal router to internal
router decrementing by 1 each time. 

This makes sense to me because the multicast algorithm is probably a
separate module which says "subtract the TTL-threshold from the TTL value
and if the result is a positive integer, let the packet through, if not
discard the packet"

The result is to give some control as to how far the packets are allowed to
propagate without having to rewrite the IP module. The IP rule of
decrementing by 1 (sec or hop) remains intact.

I will do some IP multicasting tests soon to see if the above makes sense.
The IOS has not failed to surprise me yet.

Winston.

RE: BGP newbie question, interesting

2000-12-20 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

I saw this original question yesterday but got sidetracked before I could
send a response.
I think BGP needs TCP port 179 just to operate properly. You would need at
least static routes(Ip routing)
just to get BGP routers talking to each other. So it maybe semantical, BGP
cannot get of the ground without some other
"routing" already in place. If the IGP or statics fail, so does BGP.
Bottom Line: BGP is fully dependent on TCP/IP, as it has no inherent way of
transporting its own packets.
Once the TCP packet arrives at a BGP router it can strip away the TCP and IP
headers and deal with the hellos, updates,etc.

Thoughts anyone ?

Possible, but not a good idea in almost any situation.

iBGP really is an unfortunate term.  It is a protocol for 
coordinating the "outside" activities of eBGP, and is not intended as 
an IGP.  In other words, while it may be interior, it's not an IGP.

If for no other reasons, iBGP usually depends on an IGP with hellos 
for anything coming close to reasonably fast failure detection.

I know all routers would know about outside networks,
but how about different internal areas knowing about
what other networks are advertising

BGP seems so capable that it could almost be done
without OSPF, EIGRP, etc

RE: Nagle's algorithm

2000-12-18 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD

To all,

My understanding of the "Service nagle" algoritm is to give a user the
appearance of smooth keystrokes and responses in a congested net. It is
especially useful when using telnet as send and receive characters get
buffered and are sent in chunks as Chuck and others have stated. It is not a
good idea to use it for remote users who have X terminals which obtain their
X windows from X servers through a router because the screen then paints in
a very slow and choppy manner. 
Does it affect other traffic ? probably because buffer resources are being
used to store the chars.
I saw it on a practice CCIE lab and the question was "Ensure that your
telnet sessions to the router comes back quickly".
The answer they wanted was the service nagle command.

Subject: RE: Nagle's algorithm


I don't know. This looks like another one of those things where we'd have to
find the people at Cisco who actually introduced this service to the IOS to
explain why it is there and what function it performs.  The 12.1 command
reference most certainly indicates that the router is acting on behalf of
end stations. The fact that it is stated that one should now enable the
algorithm if XRemote and XWindows is in operation on the network indicates
to me, at least, that pass through traffic effected.

-
When using a standard TCP implementation to send keystrokes between
machines, TCP tends to send one packet for each keystroke typed, which can
use up bandwidth and contribute to congestion on larger networks.

John Nagle's algorithm (RFC 896) helps alleviate the small-packet problem in
TCP. The first character typed after connection establishment is sent in a
single packet, but TCP holds any additional characters typed until the
receiver acknowledges the previous packet. Then the second, larger packet is
sent, and additional typed characters are saved until the acknowledgment
comes back. The effect is to accumulate characters into larger chunks, and
pace them out to the network at a rate matching the round-trip time of the
given connection. This method is usually good for all TCP-based traffic.
However, do not enable the Nagle slow packet avoidance algorithm if you have
XRemote users on X Window sessions.
-

Does one use X-windows sessions to connect to the router?  Sorry, my Unix is
poor. If I am an X user, and I open a telnet session to the router from my X
desktop, is this what we are talking about?

Also, the IOS command reference comments "This method is usually a good

RE: Fast Ethernet MTU Size

2000-12-02 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

Try it. Ethernet is based on physical and data layer characteristics with a
strong dose of CSMA/CD. If all sides agree what the bit times will be above
64 then it might work. The mtu command could probably be placed on all
interfaces involved.
On another note, I remember having two identical servers-one fast ethernet,
the other with a 100Mbs ATM card hooked directly to an ATM switch and the
server with the ATM card always seemed "faster" than the one with the FE
card. This was a production environment so I never really got a chance to do
any real testing. I have always felt that the predictabilty of the ATM cell
sizes would account for the seemingly faster throughput. We have moved away
from ATM on the LAN to Gig except for some WAN connections so I might never
know.

Let us know if it worked.

ATM on one side with an MTU of 4470, fast ethernet connecting the two
routers, Gigabit Ethernet the other side with an MTU of 4470.

How can I raise the MTU of a Full Duplex Fast Ethernet Connection above
1500?

I assume it's not possible when going through switched as they will show
every packet as a giant but in a router to router cross-over connection
I was hoping there was some way to keep the MTU static across the path
rather than force the routers to fragment and re-assemble (of course the
destination re-assembles).

Hello,

Sometimes these things happen because not all equipment have the same specs.
My suggestion would be to consider DTE to DTE needs at least one roll in the

connection. It all hangs on the constuction of the interface connection and
which pins it is using for transmit, receive etc.
Bottom line is try to determine which interfaces(DTE or DCE) are involved
and then it is easier to choose the correct cable.

Subject: Hub-to-Switch connection problem


Okay gang, I had an interesting and annoying situation yesterday morning,
and I'd like to see if anyone else has had an experience like this:

My client was installing an older BayStack 301 switch into their existing
network, which consisted of a Bay Access Node router, as well as four
stacked SynOptics LattisHubs.  The router was experiencing excessive
collisions, hence the installation of the switch.  So we installed the
switch and cabled the router to it, moved all the "power users" directly
onto the switch, and left the other users attached to the hub.  We attached
the hub to the switch via a straight-through cable.

The users who were directly connected to the switch had no problem accessing
the network and Internet.  The users on the hub were dead in the water.  We
tried swapping out the cable between the hub and switch, tried plugging
either end into different ports, tried flipping the MDI/MDI-X switch, and
nothing worked.  The only thing that *did* work was using a *crossover*
cable between the hub and the switch.

Now, the rule (which I gleaned from this newsgroup, btw) is that when you're
connecting devices at different OSI layers, you use a straight-through -
e.g. PC to hub, PC to switch, switch to router, hub to switch - that's all
straight-through.  You use a crossover when you're connecting devices at the
same OSI layer - router to router, switch to switch, hub to hub, PC to PC.
In the situation yesterday, a straight-through seemed logical, as we were
trying to connect a hub to a switch.  Am I wrong here?  Why did the
crossover work?

Thanks,

BJ

P.S. sorry for the Bay-centric example...I'm trying to get them to change
that. ;-)

and gets a different "cost" although it is a T1 line. Have you already tried
cost adjustments ? to bring the other T1's to the same level as the virtual
T1. As long as they are equal in cost there should be load balancing. If you
use "no ospf auto-cost determination" and then explicitly assign the same
cost to all the lines. Maybe ??? just maybe the T1's are at cost 64 and the
tunnel is at a different level.

Subject: Virtual-link load balancing


I'm at the end of my rope on this one, so I was wondering if anyone knew
the answer.  I have a virtual link configured between area 0 going
through area 5, for backup purposes.  Well, our primary link failed and
we are routing over this virtual link.  Each of these routers has 3 T1's
going from them to area 5.  Unfortunately, all virtual-link traffic is
traversing over serial 0, and not load balancing across the other T1's.
Normal inter-area traffic is load balancing fine, but I have 1 T1 that
is heavily overloaded with the other 2 light.  Any ideas?

Hi guys / gals,

Here is an interesting problem that I am struggling with at present

Area 4 of my OSPF network is configured as NSSA and has 3 routers in it.

Router 1 is the ABR that connects to the backbone, Router 2 is the ASBR
that
is redistributing some IGRP networks into area 4 and Router 3 is just an
internal area 4 router. They are connected together over one ethernet.

I would like to set the "P" bit on the type 7 LSA's that the ASBR produces
to zero, so that the ABR (r1) will NOT convert these to Type 5's and NOT
put
them into the backbone (see Doyle, p483 if you dont know what I mean)

the closest command I can come up with is the "area 4 nssa no-redistribute"
, which I thought would work when I typed it in on R2 (the ASBR) - but this
seems to block the production of the type 7 LSA altogether, so that R1 and
R3 can no longer see the IGRP routes at all

If I type the "area 4 nssa no-redistribute" on the ABR (R1) then this has
no
effect whatsoever, and the type 7 routes still get converted to type 5, and
flooded into the backbone. Doyle says this command should be implemented on
the ASBR not a seperate ABR so this doesn't surprise me too much

Does anyone know how to do this?

Was going to let a friend reconfigure an 804 from scratch.  We were

save current config and confirmed reload.  Next thing we knew we got
jibberish (like we had the wrong baud rates).  AUX was set for 9600
(default) and was working fine before the reboot...  When I got physical
access to the 804, I tried with direct console access from my laptop.  Same
thing, 9600,8,n,1 just gave me jibberish.  I tried all other baud rates Tera
Term Pro (my favorite free telnet/serial terminal program) supports
(100-115200) , as well as 7,e,1 at a random number of baud rates, etc.  Even
went to try from Hyperterminal, no luck there either at 9600 or 115200 (same
results).  Actually, the only thing that didn't give me jibberish was 115200
which just flashed the cursor but never moved it.  I tried issuing ESC,
CTRL+C  BREAK after power off/on with 9600  115200, no luck and same

RE: Kinda OT - ARP Question

2000-11-19 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

If you cannot telnet to the router, there is a possibility that a
"gratuitous arp" may do the trick. If the router recognizes these kinds of
arp packets it should update its cache. The broadcasted arp will have the
same source and destination Ip address and the new source MAC address. It is
used primarily to check if another node had the source's IP address. In fact
you might not have to do anything to change it. The act of putting the Ip on
a different NIC may generate the gratuitous arp. If not, try to find a way
to generate the special arp from the new station.

RE: About Backplane

2000-11-19 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

A beginner you say ? Have no fear, even the non-beginners are drowning in IT
terminology. There are many words and acronyms which have been created,
dropped and re-created in this field. 
In concept, the "backplane" is the physical part of the switch(usually found
in the "back" of the switch)which is connected to all other parts of the
switch. It is somewhat similar to the "motherboard" or "mainboard" of a
computer. Packets which must go from one module to another will cross the
backplane. It has the switching bus and is extremely fast because it is
based on hardware components. Not all packets have to cross this backplane,
but when they do they do so at a high rate of speed. You will be able to see
the backplane in many switches if you remove the modules.

Hope this helps,

RE: Some OSPF Questions

2000-11-11 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

It appears that there might be some small misunderstanding about DR and BDR
relationships.
On a Multi-access net the DR is the "pseudonode" which represents the net.
It is similar to NLSP in this regard.
All OSPF routers refresh their LSAs occasionally. The DR sends LSA type 2 to
all OSPF routers on the net. This way all routers get a refresh of who is
who etc. Hellos are only used to establish and maintain adjacencies.
Prior to 11.3 LSA's were sent every 30 minutes and all routers refreshed
their databases. Now the default for all LSAs is 4 minutes(240 sec). This is
configurable by using the command "timers lsa-group-pacing".

A BDR, being an OSPF router would miss any other OSPF router after 10 times
4 = 40 secs using the default. This will cause it to change its routing
behaviour, however the BDR to DR functionality would not take effect until
it did not see the LSA type 2 packets from the DR after the set time(4 min
default). I am not sure if that has been changed in 12.x

the DR is the only router who originates LSA type 2 packets.

You couldn't be more right!  I jumped the gun.  My response to your

Hello protocol.  The BDR listens to the LSAs from other routers
(non-DR/BDRs) but doesn't reflood or ack them unless the DR fails to.  

I still can't find the exact timer value (or what it's called-if
anything) that must go by before the BDR takes over.  I've reviewed the
RFC2328 section on flooding procedure and references to the DR/BDR,
Doyle's, Thomas' and Caslow's book but no mention of the length of time.

One response said 0.5 seconds and quoted an Exam Cram...I don't own any
Exam Cram's but shouldn't there be a source reference somewhere?  That
very well could be correct but they had to get it from some where?  Any
ideas?

Also, regarding question 3) Mr Berkowitz did come up with scenarios
where he used multiple OSPF processes on one box.  I'm sure there are
enough possible permutations of networks, as well as IOS nerd knobs, out
there that could support nearly anything.  

Generally speaking though I'd go with Cisco's guidance on this
one...this practice is highly discouraged because it can take a toll on

 It appears you have received conflicting guidance

 to the
 confusion:
 
 1) RouterDeadInterval is the legth of time a router waits
 for a Hello
 packet from a neighbor before declaring it down...the same
 timer is used
 by the BDR to determine whether the DR is down.  The
 RouterDeadInterval
 is recommended by RFC 2328 to be "some multiple of the
 HelloInterval
 (say 4)"  With respect to the HelloInterval RFC2328 states
 "Sample value
 for a local area network: 10 seconds."  These are the
 numbers Cisco's
 implementation uses : 10 seconds for Hello and 40 seconds
 for
 RouterDead...for NBMA it's 30 and 120 respectively.
 
 2) OSPF enabled routers maintain a data struture for each
 OSPF enabled
 interface. When you type "sh ip ospf int x" the router
will
 disply the
 contents of the data structure.  Point-to-point interfaces
 will NOT
 display any DR or BDR--because there are none.  With only
2
 routers on

RE: Some OSPF Questions

2000-11-11 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

Chuck,
Thanks for testing. Now my curiosity is at an all time high. Is it possible
for you to do the test with 4 routers ?
My theory is that 2 or maybe even 3 routers are not enough.
Here is why: 2 routers on a broadcast net will always have a DR and BDR. If
the DR goes away, the DR will know it is alone on a broadcast net. It will
become a DR in its own right. It will not be taking over any duties of the
former DR. The time to realize that it is alone will be 40 secs(default). A
3 router net might have the same issue. The absence of the DR will trigger a
promotion of the BDR. The remaining router will become the BDR. This seems
to be consistent with the broadcast net rules.

Although the code obviously selects BDRs and DRs very early, maybe the
duties of DR flooding do not start until there is at least one other DRother
on the net. 

I only have two routers available and my test produced essentially the same
results as yours. Something I did notice is that the Network type 2 LSAs
never aged. 
If a 4 router test produces the same results then it will be difficult to
say whether LSAs or hello packets determine when the BDR takes over for the
dead DR. I hope they never ask this question on any test.

Just to put in some empirical data, I set up two routers on an Ethernet
link, in the classic OSPF broadcast scenario. Hello time is 10 seconds. Dead
time 40 seconds ( 4xhello )

I determined which of the two routers was the DR, and which was the BDR

I then plugged into and monitored from the BDR, using repeated "show ip ospf
neighbor" commands

I then unplugged the DR from the ethernet

I then repeatedly reissued the show ip ospf neighbor commands

I watched.

The result of the show command was that the neighbor state FULL/DR remained
in effect until the dead time was reached. After that, there was no
neighbor.

I also plugged it the first router back into the ethernet and repeatedly
issued the commands. After a few seconds the first router showed up as a
FULL/BDR

Of some interest - the debug ip ospf hello and debug ip ospf events were
silent immediately after unplugging the DR. It was only after the expiration
of the dead time that debug ip ospf events indicated the election of a new
DR, to whit, the router I was monitoring.

Where this 0.5 second / half second thing comes from I cannot say. But using
Cisco's defaults in a quick and dirty lab, it is safe to say that this is
not what happens.

1) What is the default time period that the BDR waits when listening to

to DR. All the literature we could find simply said that the BDR waits for
the specified time period but never said what that period is.

2) In a Point-to-Point network in which the router in Area 0 is connected to
FR, ISDN, X.25 or ATM branch offices (networks), how does convergence and
updates take place? From what we've found a DR and BDR is not elected in a
strictly Point-to-Point network.

I think an example would explain this question better: We  have one 3620
router in our Ft. Worth office connected to an office in Houston (via FR),
and office in Kansas City (via FR), an office in the DFW area (via ISDN) and
the owner's home (via ISDN). The 3620 is behind a firewall (Pix 520) and the
firewall is connected to a 1720 going to the Internet. I'd like to implement
OSPF on our network simply for the experience. However, I don't have 2
routers internally on our Ethernet LAN that can be configured for Area 0 and
elected to DR and BDR. All other routers connected to that

RE: OSPF Area virtual links

2000-11-10 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

There seems to be one major advantage of using loopback addresses for
OSPF-the highest loopback will be chosen for the RID and it stays up as long
as the router is up and you can use any address you want. There are other
advantages but not as significant as this.
If you use a loopback address which is a legal IP address, and treat it like
any other legal interface, you can ping and route to that interface from
anywhere. If you use an unpublished address, you cannot ping or route to the
interface from elsewhere.
In the case of virtual links, it is advisable to use any physical interface
IP address on the router. This allows the routers on either end of the link
to find each other. It does not have to be the loopback interface. In fact
it should not be the loopback interface unless you are using a legal router
address for the loopback. 

Bottom Line: If you have addresses to spare, use a legal address for the
loopback.
 If you do not have addresses to spare use an "unpublished"
address. Do not advertise or distribute this address. Only the router on
which it is configured should have it as a route(and RID). All others will
see it only as an RID.
 For virtual links, any interface address configured on the
router would do the trick. The OSPF routers configured with the statement
know what to do with the packets regardless of which interface it comes in
on. Of course it may be better to choose the interfaces which are closest to
each other.

This does not cover every possible scenario, but in the special case of
virtual links, it is not necessary to do static or advertise the loopback.

RE: TCP protocol behavior - Ports above 1023

2000-11-07 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

I think most folks understand port assignment but I would like to add my
twist to the explanations.

It is not a good idea to address the subject of "Ports" without addressing
the subject of "Sockets" and the Client/Server paradigm.

Well-known ports allow client computers to know ahead of time which service
is being offered by Servers. These were established to represent common
services.
A good example is the Telnet service which is offered by well-known port 23.
I do not have to call the Administrator of a Server to ask which port to use
if he is offering standard telnet services.
My standard telnet client will be assigned a dynamic source port above 1023
which the operating system chooses and passes to the TCP stack. At the same
time my client knows that the standard telnet destination port is always 23.
The source IP address, the random( dynamic) source port and the destination
IP, well-known destination port(23) are placed in the TCP/IP packet and sent
on its way.
The operating system keeps track of the random ports. Several telnet client
sessions can be fired up on the same client and each will be given a
different random source port number combined with the
 same well known destination port number(23). The combination of an IP
address and a source port number is known as a "socket". So this client may
have several sockets operating at the same time, each of which will be
unique because of the randomly selected port number. IP address remains the
same and destination port(23) remains the same for each socket. 
On the Telnet Server side, each "socket" consists of the Server's IP address
and the well-known port. It has the client's IP address and  the client's
randomly generated source port which was provided in every TCP packet.
Each combination of  two sockets , one for client and one for server is
unique in the entire Internet and allows for multiplexing several telnet
sessions from the same client to the same server at the same time. This is
the backbone of Client/Server technology.

It is entirely possible for a programmer to write a TCP/IP stack and select
any port number he/she likes for his Telnet Server daemon to listen on. But
he/she would also have to write the telnet client portion to use the new
number. No standard telnet client would know his/her new non-standard
number. Folks who are writing new apps which "register" their ports are
writing both Server and client side. The Server daemon or Service listens at
the "registered" port and the client side seeks out that number.

e.g. A GroupWise client knows that the standard GroupWise Server is
listening at 1677.

In the final analysis, it really does not matter which ports are used where
as long as both client and server agree. It is not wise to use any
well-known ports for new applications because they were programmed into the
Operating Systems (starting with UNIX) or added as third party stacks a long
time ago.

 Subject:  TCP protocol behaviour - Ports above 1023
 
 Got a question about this.
 
 Application wants to open a TCP connection to something - say http, so the
 application issues the request, TCP on the application side uses some
 random
 port number above 1023 as the source port number. The destination port is
 the well know port on the distant end.
 
 However, I see from the IANA port listings
 (http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers ) that there
 are
 any number of registered ports above 1023. For example L2TP uses port
 1701,
 Groupwise uses port 1677, ands WINS uses port 1512. The IANA page itself
 calls ports 1024 through 49151 "registered" and further states that only
 ports 49152 and beyond are "dynamic and / or private"
 
 Anyone ever sniffed outbound traffic and seen apps using source ports in
 the
 1024 through 49151 range?
 
 It just occurs to me that this has the potential of creating problems, if
 an
 application uses a port reserved for some other application. Since most of
 the ports in this "registered" range appear to be for obscure kinds of
 services or applications, perhaps this isn't really and issue.
 
 Comments?
 
 Chuck

RE: ospf process id / AS??

2000-11-07 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

The concept of an Autonomous System is carried in the AREA(S) used by OSPF.
There are  4 things which enable OSPF routers to become adjacent in the same
area.

Area Identification
Authentication
Hello and Dead Intervals
Stub Area Flag

However, the AS may consist of several areas arranged in a hierachy with
Area 0 at the top. 

The AS can  seen as a group of one or more areas under the same
administration.

The router process-id only identifies a particular separate algorithm of
OSPF. There can be more than one OSPF process running on the same routers in
the same area.

Hope it helps.
Winston.

RE: HSRP priority bug???

2000-11-01 Thread Shaw, Winston Mr.

Not sure, but my understanding is that the default priority is 100 and you
should not set it if you want a device to be 100. Try setting one to 105 and
leave the other alone.

To rule out other interfering devices, I would use the standby x
authentication string command on all HSRP routers to make sure that they
talk to each other and no one else.

Whatever you do, please let us know what worked so we can know if there is
problem in this snippet of code.

Winston.

 Mark,

 I have run into this before.  Chances are there is another device on this
 segment that is listening to multicast 224.0.0.2.  Do a "debug standby"
and
 see if these devices are communicating.  My intuition says that another
 device on this segment is hearing the 224.0.0.2 multicast.

 Let me know what you find.

  Hey Group,
   Got an issue for you. I am faced with a dilemma here. We have a
 client
  who is about to make us upgrade about 100 IOS's to fix this issue and I
 just
  want to know if there is another way around it. We have a site with 2
  redundant routers. HSRP is configured between them. The modle is Cisco
  2612(Token/Ether) when we configure HSRP with a priority of 100 on the
  secondary router and 105 on the primary both of them get stuck in INIT.
 The
  rest of the network uses these settings and everything is nice and
dandy.
  When we go onto these devices and try to set the priority to 100, HSRP
 does
  not work!?!? If we set it to 105, 110, 115, etc. it will work just fine
 but
  for some reason it will not except 100. Has anybody ever dealt with this
  problem or know how to fix it? I would really appreciate it if somebody
 could
  help us out or it looks like we will be working nights here if you know
 what
  I mean. Thanks in advance all...

I agree. If one wants the router to do anything useful with the V2 updates
it hears one must specifically use the
version 2 and/or the ip rip receive version 2 commands.

I believe that listening for RIP v2 must be done on an interface by
interface basis using the "ip rip receive version 2" command.

If memory serves, I did a quick and dirty lab and reported the results some
time back. Those with no lives (:-) may want to check the archives.

Which reminds me, anybody seen or heard from that bad boy Bob Vance lately?
