Multiple default routes [7:44539]

2002-05-20 Thread Tarek Sabry

Hi

I have a remote site that connect to 2 different redundant hubs using GRE
tunnels runing EIGRP. I need to do the following:

- Provide internet access using a default route in the remote site.
- Provide failover between the tunnels.

The first issue is that I might not be able to detect the physical circuit
failure at the remote end of the tunnels. But I think in 12.2(T) Cisco added
a keepalive mechanism. Anybody used it before? I think it addresses my
situation nicely.

The second issue is how to have the default route fail over to the second
tunnel once it kicks in? Can I use 2 default routes? Different admin
distances maybe???

Thanks for any thoughts
Tarek

RE: Dynamic Routing on Firewalls - ZebOS [7:43373]

2002-05-06 Thread Tarek Sabry

Howard

I did look at GateD from NextHop before, but they are prohibitively
expensive. That's why I was leaning more towards IPInfusion. Now the problem
with the latter is that I don't know how dependable or field-proven they
are.

I totally agree with you about butting BGP on a firewall. There are many
reason why one should not use a combination firewall/router. However, I am
not doing any tunnels in this case. I am in a situation where I need to
terminate eBGP sessions for MPLS VPN endpoints in numerous locations around
the world.

I'm not sure I understand your statement about having an external router
gives [you] better hardware protection against DoS attacks, and also avoids
conduit problems for
encrypted protocols not supported on the firewall.

Yes I thought it would only run on BSD. In fact I did use GateD in a
manufactruing environment over FreeBSD. However, to my surprise, ZebOS runs
on Sun Solaris too. I am running a demo license right now on Solaris with
CheckPoint as a firewall. Things seem good, except for the fact that I have
a problem with performance testing. Any ideas for testing firewalls? Any
good tools?

I also agree with you that maybe we shouldn't expect using the object code
right out of the box and that having a CLI that looks like IOS is no
guarantee for 100% compatibility. But again for the past week I was
surprised about the high degree of compatibility and resemblence to Cisco to
the extent that I started forgetting that I'm configuring a Unix box!!

Thank you very much for your insightful thoughts.

First, to answer your question directly, the same people that
developed Zebra also have a commercial, supported version called
IPinfusion (www.ipinfusion.com).

The other alternative is commercial GateD from NextHop Technologies
(www.nexthop.com).  Native GateD command language is more Juniper-
than Cisco-like, but there are ways to get much more Cisco like.
Check with NextHop for details; I honestly don't remember which of
the details are under NDA.  There's a good deal more operational
experience with GateD than IPinfusion.

That being said, butting BGP on a firewall, IMNSHO, is a BAD idea.
One of the basic ideas of firewalls is to put the minimal
functionality on them that is necessary for the security function.
Best practice is to front-end the firewall with routers, even
splitting them into BGP and router-based security functions.
Performance optimizations are different for routing and firewall
platforms.  Also, having an external router gives you better hardware
protection against DoS attacks, and also avoids conduit problems for
encrypted protocols not supported on the firewall.

It's perfectly plausible, depending on your requirements, to have an
external BGP router function that feeds a stateful firewall, an SSH
or IPsec proxy, and another router function that passes encrypted
tunnels.  Three or four distinct functions, depending on whether you
separate the router functions into different boxes.  Some firewalls
also may include an SSH or IPsec proxy.

Neither IPinfusion nor GateD actually do the forwarding; they are
routing protocol and RIB implementations. They rely on the underlying
operating system and hardware for forwarding, generally expecting
some flavor of UNIX (most commonly NetBSD, FreeBSD, and lately
Linux). Having actually worked with these packages, I don't think
you'd have a hope of integrating them unless you had access to the
source code of the firewall.

These routing software packages are really meant for manufacturers,
not end users.  I've worked with both in that context.

Incidentally, don't take the assertion that a non-IOS routing package
that claims to have CLI is fully compatible. Think about it. If it's
not just a front end to IOS but an independent package, how can it
have features that depend on Cisco software and hardware
implementation?

RE: My interview story [7:40553]

2002-04-04 Thread Tarek Sabry

Mark

I work in SNS. I joined a few months back. My interview experience was
totally different than what you're describing. In fact their interviews were
the most technical I had seen in my life. What I was not happy about is that
they took forever to get back to us.

Also from what I've seen so far and heard from people here, the environment
is very highly technical all over the company. They don't believe in
non-tech management, all the way up to the CEO, something that is even
criticized by some. I haven't yet seen anyone who has any free time on their
hands either. I wish I had some myself :) But again I'm in one part of a
80,000+ employee company, so I don't really know how things are elsewhere in
the company.

I agree with Howard, interviews are supposed to test other areas of a
person's skills in addition to the technical background. However, techies
(and I'm one) always dread those interviews.

Good luck
Tarek

Why would you want to work for a place with such stupid
interviews in the first place?  If they select their employees
based on how they play Stranded in the Desert or whatever the
heck that was, then it's probably best you don't work there.
I'm sure the management there is awful.

Stuff like that is a sure sign their managers have too much
time on their hands, and there's almost nothing worse than a
clueless manager with too much time.

Someone needs to send those managers a Dilbert calendar!

I'm sorry to hear it didn't go well, but you should forget
about them and move on to a better company.

John

I have a friend that used to work in Schlumberger as a technical
patent paralegal, and she loved the place. Don't know how typical her
experience or yours is, but I can check with her to see if this is
anything she's heard.

I'm not totally opposed, incidentally, to tests like that IF THERE IS
ALSO SOLID TECHNICAL INTERVIEWING, and the job needs good
communications skills (the introduction) and possibly the ability to
handle multiple items under stress (the desert). I do believe when
you play with peoples' heads like this, it's only fair that the
interviewers explain what they were trying to learn.

When I'm interviewing people, I suppose I ask some questions that are
intended to help me learn the way the candidate thinks. For example,
once we've talked a bit and I have a pretty good knowledge of their
background, I pose a problem to them that I'm fairly sure they can't
answer. I tell them that I don't expect them to give me a correct
answer, but to explain to me how they would approach getting
information and coming up with a solution.  That tells me a couple of
things -- are they willing to say I don't know, and But this is
how I'll find out.

I also tend to ask ok, tell me what you do that's weird.  In this
business, there has to be something.  Again, it tests flexibility
and communication.

Subject: BGP Next-Hop [7:39704]


Team,

I found an example of BGP next-hop Attribute from  Internet Routing Arch
(by Halabi) - Any explanation will be appreciate.

Router A, B  C are all in the same AS, while Router D is in a separate AS.
Not the best diagram :)

Basically:-Router A  Router B are running IBGP
Router B  Router D are running EBGP
Router B is attached to a stub network (192.212.1.0 /24)
Router D is attached to a stub network (128.213.1.0 /24)
Router B is learning route 128.213.1.0 /24 from Router D
Router B is also injecting route 192.212.1.0 /24 into
BGP



   IBGP
EBGP
2.2.2.2
1.1.1.1
  A 
 B   --D  -|128.213.1.0 /24
Serial 0   \  / |

 \  /   |

\ / |
   \/   |
 \   /   
   3.3.3.3.\/ 192.212.1.0 /24
   C


I understand that in BGP table of Router A, it would have 2 entries:-

Destination 192.212.1.0 /24Next-hop: 2.2.2.2
(Next-hop is 2.2.2.2 since for IBGP sessions, the Next-hop will be the IP of
the IBGP neighbor who advertised the route, which is Router B)

Destination 128.213.1.0 /24Next-hop: 1.1.1.1
(Next hop is 1.1.1.1 since for routes coming into an AS via EBGP, the next
hop learned from EBGP is carried unchanged into IBGP - in this case, it's
Router D).


What I am confused it's the Routing Table of Router A,

Destination 192.212.1.0 /24Next-hop  2.2.2.2(Best Route inserted
from BGP table) - cool

Destination 128.213.1.0 /24Next-hop:  1.1.1.1   (Best Route inserted
from BGP table) - cool

Destination 3.3.3.0 /24Next-hop:   Directly Connected via Serial
0 - cool

Destination 2.2.2.0 /24 Next-hop: 3.3.3.3(why??  isn't this
directly connected via IBGP, shouldn't it be directly connected?)

Destination 1.1.1.0 /24Next-hop:  3.3.3.3(why?? shouldn't
this have 2 routes, one via 3.3.3.3, and the other via 2.2.2.2?)


Also, I thought that in such a scenario, one would want to make sure that
every BGP Next-Hop can be reached via either IGP or static routes - However,
Halabi says it's only needed for IBGP Next-hop, is it correct?

Thanks,
Hunt

RE: T1 Vs ISDN PR [7:37983]

2002-03-12 Thread Tarek Sabry

No but ISDN PRI and T1 PRI ARE used interchangeably. You need to distinguish
between 2 things here: T1 PRI and T1 CAS (Channel-Associated Signalling). So
T1 is used to describe the rate of the line here. A better way is to use the
term DS1 because T1 actually refers to the signalling scheme.

Normally when people refer to just T1, they mean T1 CAS.

T-1 is the layer 1 standard.  ISDN PRI uses T-1 for layer 1 connectivity.
Therefore, whenever you say ISDN PRI, you are referring to T-1.  However,
not all T-1's are ISDN PRI.

The other T-1 is referred to as CAS, channel associated signaling and, as
far as I know, is only used for voice.  It allows 24 channels of sampled
voice.  ISDN PRI (aka common channel signaling) is a digital standard and
supports 23 64k B channels (that can carry voice or data) and 1 64k D
channel that carries control information.  Voice over ISDN PRI has the
advantage of a dedicated control channel for troubleshooting and additional
call information from the telephone provider.  However, it has 1 less
channel.

So if you are ordering a data T-1, your only choice is ISDN PRI.

RE: CCNP v3.0 [7:37500]

2002-03-07 Thread Tarek Sabry

OK I just took it. Yes 3 hours. But the number of questions is horrendous!
It definitely took me by surprise. I thought as I have been studying for my
CCIE lab for the past year or so (on and off) then this will be a walk in
the park. Was NOT!

First of all I did not know that you cannot go back to questions. Definitely
I would have had a different strategy. I wasn't simply prepared for that so
I ended up spending too long on some questions, which I regretted later
because I had a lot of very difficult questions in the beginning and a lot
of easy ones in the end that I wish I could spend like 20 seconds on each
instead of 3! I had 10 minutes to answer 45 questions in the end!!!

I never took CCNP v2 but rumor has it that its routing exam isn't that hard.
Well, maybe I'm not that competent, but today I had real tricky questions in
this Beta. Well, but again the way the questions were asked was also really
bad in some instances. For the first time in an exam I just had to leave
some comments for some of the questions.

I don't know if I'll pass or not. I think I still did OK. The lesson I
learned from taking this test without preparing for it is that CCNP and CCIE
are just very different ball games, and not just 2 levels of competence. You
can get get away with some uncertainties as to how things really work, but
in the CCNP (or at least this new version) this is much less the case.

OK I just took it. Yes 3 hours. But the number of questions is horrendous!
It definitely took me by surprise. I thought as I have been studying for my
CCIE lab for the past year or so (on and off) then this will be a walk in
the park. Was NOT!

First of all I did not know that you cannot go back to questions. Definitely
I would have had a different strategy. I wasn't simply prepared for that so
I ended up spending too long on some questions, which I regretted later
because I had a lot of very difficult questions in the beginning and a lot
of easy ones in the end that I wish I could spend like 20 seconds on each
instead of 3! I had 10 minutes to answer 45 questions in the end!!!

I never took CCNP v2 but rumor has it that its routing exam isn't that hard.
Well, maybe I'm not that competent, but today I had real tricky questions in
this Beta. Well, but again the way the questions were asked was also really
bad in some instances. For the first time in an exam I just had to leave
some comments for some of the questions.

I don't know if I'll pass or not. I think I still did OK. The lesson I
learned from taking this test without preparing for it is that CCNP and CCIE
are just very different ball games, and not just 2 levels of competence. You
can get get away with some uncertainties as to how things really work, but
in the CCNP (or at least this new version) this is much less the case.

I'm taking the Routing Beta tomorrow. Is it really 3 hours instead of 1 hour
or do I have wrong information??? I may have to call them in the AM but
would appreciate it if someone can tell me if they know.

According to my knowledge, you can use CAR on most routers if you have a

Is this a AS5300? If so then check that you have the latest VCWare on your

in one of the VCWare releases.

Well I'm assuming he already made the configuration for the 2600 to act as a

 The objective:

 Create FR connection from 1700's to 2600 {on a different DLCI} that

 I've read through examples off of CCO, but didn't have any light

 I believe the way to do such a thing is to configure the following:

 On 2600:

 ip routing
 router rip
 ver 2
 network 192.168.10.0


 My problem is, even on the FR Switch, after creating the frame map on
 the
 interface, and then verifying the ip routing table, I still can't
 ping (from
 the console of the frame switch) the interface noted with the frame
 map...
 i.e., pinging 192.168.10.248 from the console of same router yields :
 .
 0 Success, 5 Failure :(

 So can someone give me some guide/tips as to what I'm doing
 wrong?!?!

RE: Frame Relay lab scenario.... needing help. [7:36929]

2002-02-28 Thread Tarek Sabry

OK so you are saying that you did manage to satisfy your first requirement
which is to create a functioning PVC between the 1700s (using the 2600 as a
FR switch). Right?

If this is the case, then you seem to need to *resue* this 2600 as a
*router* now in order to create another PVC between your 1700 and the
2600. In this case you will need to have a DTE-DCE connection beteween the 2
routers because you DO NOT have an intermediate switch between them. You
need to use the same DLCI number on both routers and to assign an IP address
to the serial interface on the 2600. I don't think you will need the map
statements because you are creating a pt-to-pt here.

I hope this helps.

EIGRP on GRE? [7:35988]

2002-02-20 Thread Tarek Sabry

Hi

Does the following make sense:


---(tunnel1)--MPLS-
-(tunnel1)

where on R1:
-
...
...
interface tunnel1
ip address 192.168.30.49 255.255.255.248
tunnel source x.x.x.x
tunnel destination x.x.x.x
...
...
router eigrp 1
network 192.168.30.48
redistribute static
...
...


In other words, can I:

- run EIGRP on a GRE tunnel?
- transport my static local routes across this MPLS cloud this way?
- use a VLSM network in EIGRP like I did?

Thanks a lot
Tarek
