Re: 10Mbps full duplex IOS [7:68227]
It depends on a lot of things. We found over the years even if they were set to full, and the ahrdware supported it, they would flip back to half. I am thinking we got a couple to work using GD 12.1 images, but have not visited the issue in a while. They definiately did not work on the early 12.0 images. Tim Champion wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I am looking for an IOS version that will support 10Mbps full duplex on a 3640.

My experience with Tivoli NetView was that if the different interfaces had different names, then I got multiple router objects, each with some of the interfaces of the router. If you use QIP for DNS you can place the interface IPs in a 'router group'. Reverse lookups will get the same (router group) name for each address. Forward lookups can be whatever you want.

Re: OSPF to Internet Q [7:61823]
I think I have reached my 'rule' actually. In a normal situation, I would want the Internet ASBRs injecting default routes on area 0, as that is where everything is passing through anyway. This assumes a 'clean' environment where the only things being routed in the OSPF AS are private addresses. If I had a 'messier' situation where public addresses were being used in the OSPF AS, and generally existed on the edges of the network, I may want to place the Internet ASBRs against these areas rather than area 0. Howard C. Berkowitz wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Yes, it is an Internet ASBR, there are others, and its only purpose is to advertise a default route + local DMZ into OSPF. The ASBR would get a default route from BGP. In turn the ISP is advertising a default route via BGP into the outside router. The plan is that if the ISP stops advertising at this point, then the default route advertisement from one of the other ISP connection points will take over. I see it that it really depends on how much equipment is between the real backbone and the ISP connection. Can I assume, then, that you only want one active access point at a given time, OR that you want any given area to take the closest default based on OSPF internal cost?

Re: Who are the financially viable carriers? [7:47655]
Indeed, somebody finally summarized MPLS in a couple of sentences rather than a white paper. Our company left ATT due to poor service last year for Worldcom. At Worldcom someone answers when you call, and they usually call back with progress on a regular basis. At ATT, you get to leave a voice mail and might get a call back within two hours. Online tickets and escalatiion requests are often ignored. Fourtunately all of the key circuits our business runs on are off ATT. Kaminski, Shawn G wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Additionally, there was an article written not too long ago in Investor's Business Daily talking about how ATT is continuing to grow even during this slumping economy. Also, we were just made aware of the Opening ceremony of ATT's 3rd largest Data Center in Watertown, MA.

Re: Please tell me it isnt so :( [7:47863]
One thing I have not seen discussed yet is why you would have both in the config. Older routers like 2500s with REAL boot roms did not intially support enable secret. You thus had to have an enable password configured so that if the router crashed to boot rom, it still had some protection. If all your equipment is newer, then the enable password is not needed. Morgan Hansen wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, and once again Helo :-) Ive just received this note at my inbox: Isn't enable password just the older form of enable secret? Reading this allmost made me go into shock! Is this true??! Cause if it is im out of werdz(?) For allmost a year now I have with 30 something other youngsters studied at my school (name whatever) for the CCNA and the CNAP program. Our 2 teachers (name irrelevant) have told us this about the passwords: enable password (when logging on to the router you should use this) enable secret (the password you must use to be able to make configuration changes in your router) So my question is: ARE WE BEING LIED TO?! (let me tell you, this school costs $$$, so im hoping for an answer like; NO) Oh, and one other thing. If this turnes out to be the truth, im having mixed emotions about paying huge amounts of $ to be able to use their curriculum during my CNAP studying time, just to find out that what they ask of you on their CCNA exam filters things not even MENTIONED in the Curriculum they provide!

A scheduled snmp poll is excessively intensive We used 5 minute ping rotation which aren't and then a 24 hour poll for config changes.. b I wanted to find out what the consensus is on SNMP polling of routers with large amounts of interfaces. If you have a 7513 with around 400 interfaces, what is the best method of determining interface state? I would think that traps or informs would be the best method, so that the router is not burdened with a poll every 3 to 5 minutes on every interface. I have heard that SNMP is very processor intensive. Anyone have a comment on this, or could tell me what they do on their network in this situation? If using traps, how reliable do you find them?

Re: Boson for switching exam [7:46074]
My understanding is that 1 2 are produced in house, and 3 is produced out of house. I used 1 2 and was very happy with the results. The caveat however is that was a 2.0 test. If you are not already registered you will be taking a 3.0 test. While I am sure basics of multicasting, HSRP etc have not changed, I am sure that 3.0 will require you to know the newer equipment and how Cisco wants you to position it. Knowing what type of equipment to use where was a part of the 2.0 test. Steve Ringley, CCNP Keith J. wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: CCNP Questions [7:46098]
Its three years actually. Mark Odette II wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Jarred- You have 2 years from the point of obtaining your CCNA to complete your CCNP, or recertify on your CCNA. For the exam version change, I don't believe there is really any change from 500 to 600 series... they're just making them more difficult now with new question pools, and adding some Real World simulations to two of the four exams. Switching and Troubleshooting is just new questions, but no simulations. I must say though, there was a considerable change from the 400 to 500 series exams. At the time, I was preparing for the Routing exam, but they had not even came out with the Routing Cisco Press Book... this was in January, and the book wasn't due out until October! So, I prepared for the Routing exam with the old ACRC book (predecessor to Routing), and barely passed the Routing exam because of the lack in BGP coverage (all other sections I did above average or better in). In the ACRC book, BGP was covered in roughly 8-15 pages, and in the new Routing book, it's covered in IIRC 3 chapters! (over 50 pages) This also became a lesson learned about using CCO for topics you can't get documentation any other way on. If I had of dedicated some time to reading the Docs and White Papers on BGP from CCO, I'd probably would have done better at it too! I'm completing my CCNP over the next week or so, and I've got the 400 series CCNA, the 500 series exams for Routing, Switching, Remote Access completed, and will have the 600 series exam for Support to close the CCNP. This just goes to show how much grandfathering Cisco is doing for your test history. Just meet the timelines, and you'll be cool. And just one more point... I've taken 2 years to complete my CCNP for many reasons: Finance #1, Choice #2 (I wanted to make sure I had plenty of hands-on Field experience before allowing myself to take the exam... I didn't want to be referred to as a Paper CCXX), Career Choices #3 ... Others have different moral attitudes, and would have completed it all by now... but that's why I know I'll be able to define myself as a Professional in the field.

Re: Bandwidth command!! [7:44055]
For what its worth, my studies during my CCNP prep indicated the textbook solution was to set BW = Port Speed on the physical interface, and BW = CIR on the subinterfaces. I also found 2600 routers with internal CSUs actually adjust BW to equal the number of channels configured on the CSU. Setting BW does adjust port costs, and look at what the BW setting will produce before I monkey with setting the cost directly. Rajesh Kumar wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi all, CCIE Practical studies - Vol I book - EIGRP chapter says that the bandwidth command used in serial interfaces should be set to a value equal to the remote port speed to which the serial interface is connected to.
