RTP Cisco User's Group Meeting - June 4 2003 [7:70061]

2003-06-03 Thread Stephen Alston
Folks,
  The Research Triangle Park (RTP) Cisco User's group will meet on June 4th
from 12:00 to 1:00 PM in the first floor conference room of the Lake
Building on Cisco's RTP campus.

  This meeting's topic will be TAC procedures and best practices.  The
meeting will also include a guided tour through sections of the Cisco.com
website.  Learn answers to questions such as -- What is the difference
between a management escalation and a technical escalation?  Which is the
best method to use to open a TAC case?  Who is [EMAIL PROTECTED]?

  We apologize for the short notice and plan to provide more notice in the
future.

  If you're planning to attend please RSVP to so we can get a good head
count.

  BTW, more info on RTPCiscoUsers can be found at Yahoo Group.

  I'm a member of the group and will answer what questions I can.  Feel free
to email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks,
Steve Alston

Re: Route Summarization [7:1794]

2001-04-25 Thread Stephen Alston

OK, I think I got it.

/15 doesn't make sense if I want to pick up just a 10.2.0.0 network because
it would also pick up a 10.3.0.0 network.
/16 will work if its the intent to summarize at 10.2.0.0, however that over
summarizes if its not our intent to pick up 10.2.0.0

Therefore the three addresses:
10.2.1.0/24
10.2.2.0/24
10.2.3.0/24
can only be summarized as:
 10.2.1.0/24
 10.2.2.0/23

Thanks to all for your responses, they helped loads (especially if I got it
right this time)

 Converting to binary, I see the 15th bit is the highest order bit the
three
 addresses have in common.  From that I see the summary address is
10.2.0.0.
 What I don't understand is why the subnet mask is 16bits.  To me it looks
 like it should be 15.

 There's a widespread and unfortunate belief that summarization is
 OK if it includes a list of addresses, even if it picks up addresses
 not included in the list.  True, you can probably get away with that
 in many enterprise situations, but it can be catastrophic in the
 Internet.

 As I interpret the problem, the minimum number of addresses that can
 be created from your example are:

 10.2.1.0/24
 10.2.2.0/23

 You can't do the /22, because it would pick up 10.2.0.0/24, which
 isn't part of the list.

 /15 or /16 make no sense.  Converting the third octet to binary:


 10.2.0.0/2400 00
 10.2.1.0/2400 01
 10.2.2.0/2400 10
 10.2.3.0/2400 11

Re: Route Summarization [7:1794]

2001-04-24 Thread Stephen Alston

Thanks Chuck,

I think the number of bits in the mask equals the number of highest order
bits the addresses have in common.

By highest order bit, does that mean a bit set to 1?

As for the mask being 16, that's what the approved solution for a virtual
lab says.  It is possible the solution is wrong.  At any rate, it has me
confused.

Chuck Larrieu  wrote in message

 I would think your mask would be more like /22 than /15

 Do you really want to summarize at the /15 boundary? 10.0.0.0/15 might be
 it.

 Chuck

Re: Tax Credits

2001-02-21 Thread Stephen Alston

The only tax relief I know of is on your Schedule A.  There of course, these
expenses are only deductible after they exceed 2% of your adjusted gross
income  then only the amount above the 2% threshold.  If you own your own
business, I would expect you could expense or depreciate the assets.

Re: CIT/Support 2.0 Exam and Boson Tests

Title: CIT/Support 2.0 Exam and Boson Tests



I haven't taken the exam yet, but have purchased both tests 1 
 2. If I were only to purchase one, it'd definitely be test 2. 
The questions are more challenging, and more importantly, the answers include 
references both from the Cisco Press CIT book and from the Cisco web site. 
Test 1 doesn't include references in the answers. Robert is the author of 
test 2. I was also extremely impressed with his FRS exam -- there was no 
comparison between his and the other.

HTH,
Steve

Title: CIT/Support 2.0 Exam and Boson Tests



After rereading my post, I think I might have given the 
impression Test 1 isn't of value. I am finding questions there that aren't 
in Test 2 -- in short, I think its a worthwhile test. I still believe Test 
2 is superior because of better questions and in references. If I had it 
to do over again, I'd still purchase Test 1. I don't see me purchasing 
Test 3 (I don't know anything about it, but don't want to spend another $30 and 
feel the two tests will be sufficient).

Re: Question for DR/BDR in OSPF

2000-09-12 Thread Stephen Alston

Doug,
  I see you're using one of your "lifelines"
  I'd go with answer B  make it your final answer.

  Reason as stated in the ACRC book is "The only time a DR or BDR will
change is if one of them goes down.  If the DR goes down, the BDR takes over
as the DR and a new BDR is elected.  If the BDR goes down, a new BDR is
elected."

HTH,
Steve


"Doug Laing" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 This is a question for study purposes.  I want to verify what I think
 the answer is:

 Let's say  Router A is the Designated Router with priority of 100 and
 fails. Router B (Backup Designated Router) with priority of 90 becomes
 the DR and Router C with a priority of 80 becomes the BDR.

 If Router A comes back up on the network?
 A) An election held and Router A becomes the DR and Router B becomes the
 BDR..

 B) No election is held until Router B goes down.  Then Router A becomes
 the DR and Router C remains the BDR.

 C) No election is held until Router B goes down.  Then Router C becomes
 the DR and Router A becomes the BDR.

Re: Question for DR/BDR in OSPF

2000-09-12 Thread Stephen Alston

Upon further review, I agree with Michael and Peter -- answer C is correct.
The text I originally quoted (p 193 ACRC) so states.

Steve
""Peter Abraham"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Doug,

 I believe the answer is C. The order of promotion is always from BDR to DR
 when the DR fails. If router B fails then router C will be the DR, and
 router A which has just come up on the network then becomes the BDR.

 Peter.
