OK, let's figure out why I'm an idiot on this one. ( shut up, Ken, Nigel,
Phil, and CN )

Oh never mind - I've been playing with IPX bridging here - a complete waste
of time since there is no IPX on the Lab any longer. Suffice it to say I was
wrong.

sorry.

Cisco Doc CD Errors [7:62417]

2003-02-03 Thread The Long and Winding Road
Some of you probably know this already, but there appear to be problems with
the June 2002 Documentation CD.

I have had the Doc CD in various flavors running on this poor computer for
many months now. When I bought my 3550 switch, I got a June 2002 Doc CD,
newer than what I had. So I popped it in, turned it on, and got the
"expired" message.   I could work my way around this problem, but for the
documentation for any IOS version 12.1 or earlier, I was sent to the Cisco
public web site, not to the doc CD. 12.2 used the CD. Various network
management and switch and CAT OS documentation versions all used the doc CD.
but not IOS 12.0 or 11.3 or 12.1, all of which pointed me out to the
internet.

Several uninstall-reinstalls later I gave up, opened a TAC case, and was
provided a new version of a vdk20.lic file, which ended the "expired"
problem.

However, the problem remains with certain IOS version pointing me to Cisco's
web site, not to the doc CD.

I've asked TAC to refer this to the doc CD group - probably a failure to
change the url references when converting the web site to the CD.

Just an FYI

Re: Documentation CD..... [7:62438]

2003-02-04 Thread The Long and Winding Road
the search engine on the doc CD is crap. Your only hope is to spend just a
little time learning where to find things using the menus.

for example, great information on regular expressions is found where? in the
dial services section under IOS.

where do you find info on setting up a router as a tftp server?

a web server?

etc.

in other words, you probably should spend some time drilling through the
menus and checking out the kinds of things in each section.

on a more serious note, suppose you were asked to connect one of the routers
in your pod to a DVMRP source. Do you know where you would look to find the
commands?

this gets back to having spent some time reading the documentation - the
config guides and command references, just to get a feel for what's there
and where to find it.

I can guarantee that you will see at least one task in your lab that you
have never heard of before, at least not if you haven't spend some time
familiarizing yourself with what is in the docs.

focus on the core topics - you know what they are. And also become familiar
with the doc CD. You can pick up a couple of easy points if you have an idea
where to look. I did. For all the good it did me :- Sincerely,

Off Topic - layers 8, 9, and 10 [7:62616]

2003-02-06 Thread The Long and Winding Road
When we last saw our hero ( yours truly ) he was up to his ears in a major
AVVID deal. Lorda mercy, what a motherf*  The customer RFP was crap, the
turnaround time was cruel and unusual, and then when the bidders all came
back with numbers in the high 8 million range, the customer threw us all
out, and told us to come back when we could sell a system that would cost
the customer no more than X dollars per year on a five year lease.

On top of that, you have Cisco sticking their nose in every chance they get
bitching about my choices of routers. "You can do it cheaper. we don't want
to lose the business because you're overspecifying routers" For an AVVID?
with unknown call volume? and unknown data traffic? Give me a break. It
ain't Cisco who's ass is gonna be kicked if the voice quality sucks.

Layer 8 - politics, particularly of the customer
layer 9 - politics - the sales account rep
layer 10 - Cisco

gotta say, though, this is gonna be one sweet project. for once I believe we
have a good technical solution combined with ample project hours for
assessments and implementation.

but this whole process was still a motherF*

BTW, anyone have any comments on the new 1760V and 2651V packages? I
specified them in a couple of smaller sites. I used my cutoff point as
roughly 30 phones / 100 data ports, due to the great unknowns. DSP
resources, transcoding resources, and CPU hits when doing conference
calling, transcoding, and QoS were major concerns.

37XX routers sure seem like nice boxes. anyone got any comments? Their
performance anywhere near what the spec sheet says?

CCIE Lab - I have seen he future and it is..... we [7:62756]

2003-02-10 Thread The Long and Winding Road
Been spending this weekend on what was once the Cisco Advanced SE Training
( ASET ) set of labs. These are available for those whose Cisco account team
approves - there are a few conditions which can be found in the wee places
of certification training.

The program is run by Lab Gear ( the only link I have is www.labgear.net,
but
this is a login page ) There are a number of labs of CCIE level, look, and
feel.

Supposed to be real equipment, but the access is via java script windows,
not terminal emulation. This makes for some interesting situations. The
windows show or provide output only when they are active. So if you had two
router sessions open, and you made changes on one router that would generate
systems messages of one sort or another you would not see those messages on
the other. also, I have yet to find a way to generate output from debugging
commands. Things like term mon and logging of one kind or another have not
been successful. so no debug ip routing and debug ip ospf adj.

As with the real lab, there are a series of tasks to be completed. Grading
is done via a script.  This is the point of most interest. Actually, I
suspect a lot of the current CCIE Lab grading is done using scripting tools.
I believe the proctors still physically examine equipment configurations for
some things, but I could be wrong.

It is of interest because to judge from the script outputs I am seeing,
there appears to be an assumption that there is one and only one way to do
things. I'm not sure this is always true. I am not sure that this results in
an entirely accurate grade.

But more importantly, given my experience with the java consoles and the
manner in which these labs must be done, I am not sure I like where this is
headed. Something Brian Dennis and Brad Ellis and some other people started
talking about back when the CCIE Lab went from two days to one - something
about the longer term goal being to do the test remotely, and having people
show up at Sylvan or some other testing center and log in remotely.

If the Lab Gear approach is any indication, this is not ready for real live
testing. I experienced far too many problems with terminal ( javascript )
sessions disconnecting mysteriously. With 8 open windows, it sometimes got
to be very hard to find the session ( router ) I was looking for. Cut and
paste is a real pain. You have to open a "scratchpad" window, which is
associated with the javascript console window. cutting and pasting is done
to this wind. there are scratchpad windows associated with each java wind,
so if you had a scratchpad open for every router session, that makes for a
LOT of junk to fight your way through looking for what you want. then there
is the problem of actually moving what you want to copy and paste. highlight
and control c control v or alt e paste don't work. you have to click on
buttons on the java consoles to copy to and from routers.

beyond that, there is the problems of whether or not the "script" answer is
the right answer. For example, in one lab, a particular instruction requires
that the rip routers on a particular segment have to use the neighbor
statement to see eachother ( and prevent other routers on that segment from
joining into the RIP domain ) well, the problem is, one of those routers is
connected to another RIP router via a different interface. need a neighbor
statement there too, but the script does not cover this, nor does the answer
configuration show this.

anyway, I have seen the future, and the CCIE Lab future looks like it may be
heading to these kinds of remote lab settings.

just because I'm in a bad mood tonight, I'll pick a fight. nothing personal,
but I think you're misleading yourself by looking for books to prepare using
the new lab format. as if any of the books out there now were the be all and
end all for the old lab format.

there are certain core topics you HAVE to know. no matter whose books you
are reading, you have to pick out those core topics and master them. Caslow
is as good a place to start as any. Soltie is good for this.

you have to understand redistribution in all it's manifestations. the Lab
has a way of screwing you with this. and not just in the ways you see in the
various books. those lab writers are devious.

you have to know how and where to find things using the doc CD. A couple of
days ago someone asked "is DVMRP in the Lab?" the proper question to ask is
"if a DVMRP qustion came up in the Lab, where would I find out how to
configure it?"

I've offered several other books as starting points in other posts. But when
push comes to shove, all the materials out there are just starting points.
They are not magic bullits. taking a certain course, or using a certain
book, or set of practice labs is no guarantee of passing, no matter what the
sellers of those materials ( or the users, for that matter ) might say.

as you practice more and more, I assume it just starts to dawn on you how
this stuff really works. at that point you have a good shot at passing.

but don't rely on finding the perfect book, or the perfect set of practice
labs. there ain't none.

best wishes

CCIE Study Materials - Anti-Rant [7:62930]

2003-02-12 Thread The Long and Winding Road
There was some off line discussion earlier today about an attempted post
asking about CCIE study materials, in particular vendors of practice labs. I
don't see that particular post in the list today, so I'm going to assume
that the decision was made not to allow it. And I am going to rant a bit
about this and the topic of posting questions like "which study materials,
which books, which practice labs are best for whatever?"

Having been a regular participant on this news group for over three years
now, I, like many here, have seen these same questions over and over. As the
off line discussion went - maybe we should tell whomever just to go search
the archives.

My rant is this - maybe I'm cynical, and maybe I've seen all the same
questions over an over, but dammit, this newsgroup was started to help
people prepare for certifications, and dammit just because I or anyone else
has seen the same questions over an over doesn't mean that everyone else
has. These topics should be permitted, should be discussed, and names should
be named.

I appreciate the concern about commercial posts. I appreciate that there
have been a couple of people who have footers advertising all of their
business ventures, and will regularly post "that's right" answers to other
posts just to get their products and services out in front of this group.

I appreciate that folks like Howard and Priscilla also have books and other
things to sell, but are welcome here because of their unselfish
participation, and unselfish helpfulness.

I appreciate that there are other sources of study materials and rent a rack
time than those whose names come up regularly here and over on the CCIE
list.

I appreciate that some of the purveyors of books and study materials don't
bother participating on this forum, but that does not in and of itself say
anything about the value of their products or services. I think a forum like
this is an appropriate avenue to discuss the options out there.

While I personally don't care for a lot of the "what's best" questions
because I think they beg he issue and really miss the point, I do think that
the purpose of this news list remains exchange of information and advice to
those who ask and from those willing to offer.

I will finish this "anti rant" with two thoughts.

1) it's up to the participants here to determine how they want things to go.
If people don't want to read posts about "what's best" they are certainly
free to ignore them. If they can offer advice, I believe people should be
free to offer it. I certainly think people should be free to ask. I also
think that vendors should not be sneaking in here under false names and
false pretenses asking people to comment on their product.

2) in the end, I don't believe that any of the books or classes or practice
labs are better than any others in terms of preparing people for certs,
particularly for the CCIE Lab. It is more important to read a lot, study a
lot, practice a lot. Sorry to all of the purveyors of study materials for
saying it, but the key is practice with lots of different situations, not
practice with one vendor or another.

Presented for your consideration.

Chuck

depends upon how it became deleted. check the interface / subinterface

being as udp port 1434 is the well know port used by slammer, which sevrely
effected internet traffic performance when it hit a few weeks ago, what the
two access-lists do, assuming both are applied appropriately to an edge
device, is stop slammer traffic into and out of wherever they are applied.
probably the enterprise border.

my question to the guy who made the original post remains. were lists 195
and 196 applied anywhere else on the router? and why does list 194 even
exist?

not at all clueless. I did not see a spot among all the "show" outputs where
packets dropped is indicated.

I'm thinking "show interface"

I'm also thinking that maybe there are static routes pointing out those
ports, and someone somewhere is generating traffic destined for those ports.
Maybe the author of the original post could supply some more specific
information - such as extensive outputs from the "show run" ??

for those unfamiliar with the higer end boxes, hyrid mode refers to running
Cat OS and and IOS on the same box. The lower end boxes - 2950, 3550, and
4xxx with sup 3 or better, run IOS native mode.

cat 4xxx with the sup 2 run Cat OS mode.

65xx without the MSFC card run Cat OS mode. Add the MSCF card, and you have
hybrid mode. unless somethng has changed recently, you cannot run a 65xx in
native IOS mode only - it has to be an L2 box alone, or a hybrid box,
running IOS and Cat OS.

Re: Dropped Packet on 6506 switch [7:63053]

2003-02-15 Thread The Long and Winding Road
it's real hard to offer any suggestions without knowing more. if you could
provide a sanitized show run, that might help.

also, can you provide the show int that is indicating dropped packets. I did
not see anyting in your previous offerings.

a switch with routing capability is an L3 switch. interestingly, there are
modules for the 366x and, if memory serves, 37xx routers that provide 36
10/100 ports plug 2 gig ports, making these L2 routers, I guess.

So the question is, which is better, and L3 switch or an L2 router? ;->

as a matter of practice, "no frame-relay inverse-arp" on all frame physical
interfaces.

clear frame-relay-inarp  ( this one doesn't always work )

why is the pvc there in the first place? it appears you have a static map.
have you issued the "no frame-relay map" command appropriately?

also, reloads do wonders :->

Switch VoIP Commands - differences? [7:63128]

2003-02-16 Thread The Long and Winding Road
Been working on a 3550 practice lab. A particular instruction is as follows:

"Configure FastEthernet 0/2 to support a Cisco 7960 IP phone using 802.1P
priority tagged frames. Use the default native vlan to carry all traffic on
this port. Trust ingress packet COS values."

The "book" solution is as follows:

switchport access vlan 20  ( from a previous instruction )
switchport mode access  ( to make this port unconditionally an access port )
switchport voice vlan dot1p ( THIS IS PART OF THE QUESTION )
no ip address ( garbage left over )
mls qos trust cos ( THIS IS PART OF THE QUESTION )
spanning-tree portfast ( from a previous instruction )

My solution was as follows:

switchport access vlan 20
switchport voice vlan 1 ( native vlan? maybe not because of the static vlan
assignment? )
switchport priority extend trust ( MY QUESTION )
no ip address
spanning-tree portfast

My questions are:

1) what are the differences between the "mls qos trust cos" command and the
"switchport priority extend trust" command?

2) what does the "switchport voice vlan dot1p" do as opposed to the
"switchport voice vlan 1" ? Am I seeing that only one vlan is being assigned
for both the phone and the PC to share? therefore configuration to
specifically take note of dot1p frames from the telephone?

I have read the command reference for all commands in question. There
appears to be a subtlety I am missing, no doubt due to lack of hands on with
voice implementations.

Thanks.

Switchport gigabit port priority queueing [7:63137]

2003-02-16 Thread The Long and Winding Road
Continuing with my look at a 3550 lab, a QoS task requires configuring to
prioritize video traffic. The task itself appears to have been lifted
directly from the 3550 configuration guide for the 12.1.12 release.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12112cea/3550scg/s
wqos.htm#51764

in any case, on the egress gigabit interface. the book answer is

interface GigabitEthernet0/2
 no ip address
 priority-queue out
end

am I correct that the "priority-queue out" in and of itself does nothing?
the documentation appears to state that other queuing configuration must
take place, to wit "wrr-queue cos-map 4 6 7" or some variation thereof.

Distribute-list and OSPF [7:63144]

2003-02-16 Thread The Long and Winding Road
calling it a night after spending the weekend in a post mortem of an ASET
practice lab taken a week ago.

the topic of filtering routes introduced into a domain via redistribution,
and which are advertised back to the originating router through a different
protocol. You all know the problem - the re-advertised routes come into the
originating router via a protocol with a lower AD, thus wreaking havoc on
routing tables, and causing flapping routes.

Well, the ASET book answer for this particular problem on this particular
router was to filter the particular routes using a distribute-list.

This is all well and good, except that the protocol in question is OSPF, and
as we all know from reading the documentation, distribute-list does not
apply to IS-IS and OSPF.

Well, except that distribute-list in appears to be quite effective in
blocking unwanted routes from being received by an OSPF router

distribute-list out appears to do what it is supposed to.

checking Parkhurst. re-reading the documentation.

If I were to hazard a guess, I would guess that the CCO documentation
writers screwed up. It is distribute-list out that does not work in OSPF.
( haven't checked IS-IS yet ) Distribute-list in does indeed prevent ospf
routes advertised by another ospf speaker from being installed in the
routing table. the routes still appear in the ospf database, as expected.

Re: Dropped Packet on 6506 switch [7:63053]

2003-02-17 Thread The Long and Winding Road
hey, Dave, request for clarification


whenever I run my config tools ( either CCO or NetFormX, which validates
against Cisco's config server anyway ), the requirement is CAT OS plus IOS.
I can go CAT OS only, but I cannot get a validation using IOS only.

So is that an error in the validation engine? or is something else going on
that I don't understand.

on a 3550, I can configure all ports as routed ports, or I can configure all
ports as switched ports, or any combination.

The 4xxx boxes with sup 3 or better can go IOS only.

The 65xx seems to be the problem child, as anyone who has stumbled through
either tool mentioned above can attest to.

any clarifications you can offer?

gentle correction. by entering the "no switchport" command, one removes the
particlar interface from the "L2" domain and into the L3 domain. At this
point one can indeed enter IP address onto the physical inerfaces.

I think you may be getting too carried away with L2 versus L3.

A physical port exists in multiple layers of the OSI model, if you want to
talk in terms of OSI.

There is the physical port. There is whatever that physical port talks to
and how. For example, an ethernet port has physical and mac layer
characteristics. otherwise, how would it communicate with other devices on
the wire? Add an IP address, and that port is now "L3" as well.

A router with an ethernet interface plugged into a switch operates at all
three "layers" of OSI.

one can also bridge between vlans, at least in the 3550 world. fallback
bridging.

if you have subnet based vlans.

remember that you can also have ip addressing on different ports, although,
as you say, these all have to be on different subnets. unless you are
etherchanneling, but that's a different story.


but to get back to point here, what is the difference between a physical
port configured with an IP address and a physical port assigned to a vlan,
with the vlan having an ip address?

one may also configure the physical interfaces as L3 interfaces - just as

Re: Does MLS (Layer 3 switching) require VLANs? [7:63147]

2003-02-17 Thread The Long and Winding Road
I've been following this thread, and have offered a comment or two along the
way. Perhaps I should offer some thoughts here at the source.

note that I have not read any of the exam study materials in question, so I
don't know what is or is not being stated in the courseware. I can offer
that just because it says so in the study materials doesn't mean that's the
way it is.

this is a reasonable, simple approach, and thus one that appeals to my
reasonably simple mind.

this is where the confusion, no doubt introduced by the marketing people,
set in.

suppose you have a router with three ethernet interfaces, and each of these
interfaces is plugged into a different hub ( no switch )

hosts on each of these hubs are in the same broadcast domain ( same
collision domain too, but I digress ) hosts in each of these domains cannot
reach hosts ( or servers ) in other domians, on different hubs, without
routing.

this would be true, even if you had all hosts on the same great big hub with
500 ports. You could have hosts on the same hub, but having different L3 (
IP ) addresses. communication between hosts on different subnets, even if
they are on the same hub, require the intrercession of a router.

vlans, made possible by various 802.1 specifications, are really just a way
of expressing logical broadcast domains.

layer 3 switching is really routing. an L3 switch has the routing function
built into it, rather than using a separate piece of equipment.

despite what others have said, you can do this. it is wasteful, in that a
host plugged into an L3 port would require 4 ip addresses because you have a
subnet with two hosts ( the PC and the port, and the net number and the
broadcast address ). whereas if you have a vlan, that vlan is a virutal port
that represents the physical ports as a single subnet to the L3 ( routing )
function.

forget this L3 switch versus router distinction. it is confusing, and
misrepresentational.

think instead in terms of how traffic moves through a network.

think instead of a vlan as a virtual logical construct that represents one
or more ports as a single broadcast domain to a router. it doesn't matter
that the router is integrated into the switch hardware with an ASIC and
code, or is an external device.

oh, sure, and this is one way of doing things.

the CCIE prep materials generally try to force you to master several
alternatives. Cisco ASET, where I got this particular exercise,
unfortunately has but a single answer, and their answer, as determined by
their grading scripts, is distribute-lists. This gets back to my posted
concern about the future of CCIE Lab testing, where everything is done by
script, and where there is only one answer, whether or not there are
alternatives.

route tagging is indeed an excellent way to control things, and should be
part of any CCIE Lab participant's toolbox.

good for you, Cil. This discussion was ( and still is, to judge from my
in-box ) filled with misdirection and poor information. Cisco and all the
other vendors are absolutely to blame for this.

a router is a function, not a device

so is a switch.

what does it matter where the function resides, or how it is accomplished?

forgive the rant. you are not to blame. all the marketing hype is to blame.

forget OSI. For L-anything.

for data ( packets, frames, whatever ) to get from here to there, somethng
has to happen.

if I have a 75xx router with 300 ethernet ports, and I bridge all those
ports, do I have an L3 switch, or a router?

for data to get from here to there, it must be forwarded. I know Howard is
going to jump all over my fast and loose use of the term "forward" but that
is what happens. If my PC wants to send data to your PC, that data is
forwarded to your PC. If your PC and mine are on the same subnet / hub /
switch / vlan, it is L2 forwarding ( switching ). If the devices are on
different subnets / switches . vlans / hubs then the packets are L3
forwarded ( routed )

As Priscilla has been pointing out, the issue is one of how networks work,
how packets are forwarded, how data gets from here to there.

An L3 device is a router is able to forward packets based on an L3 address,
whether that L3 address be appletalk, IPX, or IP.

an L2 device is a switch is a bridge is able to forward packets based on L2
addreses i.e. MAC address.

the fact that some equipment can function as both a switch and a router (
anyone remember "brouters"? ) is irrelevant.

on a 3550, a physical port ( into which you plug the ethernet patch cable )
can be stand alone physical, can be part of a vlan, thus making it distinct
from ports on the same box that are not in the same vlan, or can have an IP
( L3 ) address.

an SVI ( switch virtual interface ), invoked by the command "interface vlan
x", is a representation of a group of ports that have been placed into a
single vlan. The SVI represents those ports to the routing funtion, and
behaves no differently that a router's ethernet port plugged into a hub.

I'm hoping this helps clarify the concept. I believe you have been confused
by the study materials you are reading, and by the mis-information that has
been presented here on the list.

sorry to have not taken the time to be more thorough in earlier replies.

you can never go wrong studying Priscilla's posts, either.

hope this is starting to make sense to you .

agreed. however, since the CCIE Lab has about as much to do with good design
as dog food has to do with good cooking, all that matters is reachability.

in the particular practice lab, the redistribution is insidious, RIP routes
on R3 are redistributed into an IS-IS domain, and the IS-IS routes are
redistributed into OSPF on R6. OSPF router R2 then propogates those routes
back to R3. Since the OSPF admin distance is 110, a route that originated in
the RIP domain is received on R3 as an OSPF route, and is installed into
R3's routingtable because of lower AD. A cascade effect occurs, with the RIP
routes having been overwritten. Since there are no RIP routes to
resdistribute into IS-IS, the routes age out of the IS-IS domain. Therefore
they cannot be advertised into OSPF. Therefore they age out of OSPF.
Therefore R3 no longer has these routes as OSPF routes, so the RIP routes
are reintroduced into the routing table ( AD 120 ) and the cycle starts
again.

granted, neither you nor I nor anyone in their right mind would ever design
a network this way. but here, the purpose of the exercise is to cause folks
to understand how things work, and options for fixing broken things.

The Cisco 3550 series switches can act as an L2 only device out of the box.
No configuration required on your part. Well, stick in the gbics, and you
may have to enter a commannd or two on those ports. maybe a "no negotiate" ?
I kinda forget.

all ports are in vlan 1 out of the box.

now then, depending on what you are plugging into it, maybe you will have to
do a couple of other things, but since you mention you have one big flat
network now,  you probably won't have to.

as for methodology, just plug in a cuple of your segments, then test for
connectivity. that should tell you if anything more than the default
configurations are required.

have fun!

This means folks outside the US can receive these CD's, just so long as they

Caslow most definitely is a CCIE Lab strategy guide, and yes some specifics
are maybe a bit dated. For example, Caslow suggests confgiuring your Lab in
latyers, starting by doing the physical cabling, then adding the L2
protocols all the way around, prior to any L3 addressing. Obviously, since
the candidate does no cabling in the one day scenario ( and eventually in
the all remore rack scenario that no doubt is in the pipeline ) this
strategy is obsolete.

Even the 2nd edition was released two years ago, so yeah, it still talks
about IPX, but many of the other topics covered are well worth considering.
And yeah, Caslow doesn't cover certain topics which are seeing more point
value in the recent spate of CCIE Labs.

I'm fascinated by the access-list, which is Cisco's structure for initiating
a lot of different things, including route-maps, security structures,
filtering, and the like. It's as if the access-list is central to
understanding Cisco in much the same way that certain kinds of structures
are central to C programming.

depending upon your other restrictions ( is this a practice lab or a
production network? ) you can make make the receiveing router a RIPv2. Then
the process will accesspt the 200.200.0.0/16 CIDR prefix. In the Cisco
world, the RIPv1 routers will accept this prefix, *I think* because Cisco
rip1 routers can receive rip2 routes.

in a mixed vendor environment, this might not work at all.

mask =0100the "1" in the 64 place allows for either "17" or "81"

so the proper mask is 0.0.64.255  "255" allows for all values in the last
octet

I hope that's what you are saying, because that is the correct answer.

there is an interesting command I recently learned about. "show ip rip

issue this command on the redistribution router and see what you can see

no doubt the /16 is showing up just fine in the OSPF domain :->

in my tet bed:

R3R4--R5--R6---200.200.0.0/16
RIP RIPRIP/OSPF  OSPF

there is indeed someting that has to happen before the /16 shows up in the
RIP domain, but here is the proof:

C   222.222.222.4 is directly connected, Loopback1001
R199.56.1.0/24 [120/5] via 192.168.1.5, 00:00:13, Serial1
C199.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, TokenRing0
R193.1.1.0/24 [120/1] via 199.1.1.3, 00:00:21, TokenRing0
C192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, Serial1
R195.1.1.0/24 [120/5] via 192.168.1.5, 00:00:13, Serial1

R200.200.0.0/16 [120/5] via 192.168.1.5, 00:00:13, Serial1
Router_4#

all routers in question are RIPv1 - the command "version 2" has not been
added under any routing process.

what is the exact configuration line used? the documentation talks about

have you got your access-lists set up correctly? something like:

access-list x permit tcp any any eq smtp

access-list y permit tcp any any eq www

and so on. it seems important that you have a default set somewhere also.
undefined traffic goes to which provider?

once you have your access-lists set up then the route-map part is relatively
simple:

route-map policy permit 10
match ip addr x
set ip next-hop a.b.c.d
OR
set interface atm etc

route-map policy permit 20
etc

policy maps apply to nbound traffic only, so you place the policy on the
interface inbound from your network. I assume this is the ethernet
interface.

you are correct. this won't work. a ways back I did some experimenting, and
at the time I found that even if all routers are RIPv2, the process will not
accept CIDR prefixes. You had to redistribute CIDR routes into RIPv2

Think another way. Particularly since PC said this was from a practice lab.
You have to think crooked.

ah, the perfect opportunity to throw in my own few bucks worth.

no offense to any of the producers of CCIE practice labs. The vendors with
whom I am familiar have all done an excellent job in mimicking the Real
Thing. IP Expert, Hello Computers, Bootcamp are all first rate products.

However, buyers should be aware that each of these vendors have crafted
their labs around an equipment rack which they maintain, and hope to make
money renting to you. The real lab has a few routers and a couple of
switches. Not the dozen or so that these vendors require for their labs. OK.
I exaggerate a bit. But not much.
I believe I am accurate when I state that it can be difficult to simulate
these vendor pods with your home rack.

Nor do I think you need to, but that's another story.

Buyers and sekkers of practice materials should also do a google search on
"CCIE practice labs" and see what you can find. There are LOTS of materials
out there.

My own opinion, to be taken with the appropriate measure of salt: with all
due respect to the vendors of practice labs, it really doesn't make much
difference whose you use. They all sport lists of successful candidates who
used their materials and offer testamonials. Obviously, all of the vendors
are doing something right. There are people who use their materials and
succeed.

The real key is practice, practice, practice, and then read up on why the
answer is what it is, then practice some more.  It is incredibly important
to understand alternatives. And how to attain reachability. And how to
research something you've never heard of on the doc CD, and what to do when
your routing table is a disaster, and when you see route flapping, and
default routes pointing to the wrong router, or your routing protocol does
not communicate with another router the way that it should.

Oh - BTW - never underestimate the value of the free stuff on CCO. The
config guides, the design guides, the stuff in the TAC section, if you have
access to that. Or www.fatkid.com, for that matter.

Best wishes.

sure you can. why not? you can redistribute between any two protocols
subject to the quirks of the particular protocols.

is this real life or lab study? the reason I ask is because BGP implies VLSM
and CIDR prefixes, and RIPv1 is real picky about what it accepts, and
adverises. RIPv2 I would think would be a far better candidate for this kind
of thing.

However, as demonstrated in the "ospf - rip redistribution issue" thread of
yesterday, on Cisco routers, at least, you can theoreticially run RIPv1 and
still propogate CIDR and VLSM prefixes throughout your RIP domain. ;->

assuming this is a Cisco environment, the biggest thing I can think of is
that BGP has an admon distance of 20 whiole RIP has an admin distance of
120. The very real danger of your RIP routes showing back up as BGP routes
with a source elsewhere will cause a very big problem. filtering is
essential.

idle curiousity, and I am asking because of my lack of real world here, but
wouldn't you prefer a better behaved and faster converging protocol than
RIP? MPLS depends upon the underlying routing protocol / routing table,
doesn't it?

Re: 7204 and 7206 Router Expansion [7:63856]

2003-02-26 Thread The Long and Winding Road
the problem with the 72xx series is the limited backplane. Cisco uses a
"bandwidth points" method for determining numbers and kinds of cards. There
is a "left half" and a "right half" and it is strongly recommended that you
do not exceed the bandwidth points for each side.

you may want to try out the Cisco configuration tool, found at:

http://www.cisco.com/appcontent/apollo/configureHomeGuest.html

try out the cards and see what the validation tells you.

so far as I know, the router remains operational if you exceed bandwidth
points. However, if you have performance problems, Cisco will not support
you. It may be that a 7300 might be more appropriate for your high capacity
needs.

based on my experience, the 3640 may not give you the performance you
require. especially if you are using any access-lists, route-maps, QoS.

Also, with your peaks at well over 100 meg, you might want to consider a gig
interface on the LAN side.

a thought - use a dual ethernet router like a 3745 ( twice the performance
of the 3640 ) in combination with the switch ( which can easily handle the
load ) put your servers into two subnets / vlans and do quasi-load-sharing
across those two ethernet interfaces. depends on your traffic requirements.

I don't see any OSPF routes anywhere.  The redistribution router should have
the OSPF routes 10.8.8.8/24 and 10.9.9.9/24, in addition to the RIP routes
you are showing.

check the OSPF config between the redistribution router and the OSPF router.

Re: OSPF and MTU, spawned from the OSPF vs. EIGRP thread [7:63936]

2003-02-26 Thread The Long and Winding Road
Reviving an oldie but a goodie, based on some work I was doing today. I
wanted to check something that required 3 routers, and all I had were 2
routers and the 3550 switch. well, that's ok. L3 and all. BTW, have we
decided which is better - an L3 switch or a router? Hint - the L3 switch is
FAR superior to a 2503 router :->

OK, so I set up ospf among the routers ( switch ports configured as router
interfaces ) and no ospf neighbor relationships are forming. this is BS.
Done this in my sleep.

start looking at the debugs and I keep seeing something weird from the
switch side. keeps reporting the interface down. makes no sense. I check the
speed and duplex, but you know, I know this has worked in the past.

fiddle some more. fiddle some more. finally look at things from one of the
routers' perspective, and the debug says something about a mismatched MTU.

Oh yeah, I was doing some vlan tunneling practice and to do so, you have to
set the switch MTU higher to accommodate the larger 801.q frame. can't
change the MTU size on an interface by interface basis.

quickly, I issue the interface command ip ospf mtu-ignore ( Cisco
proprietary? IIRC? ) on the interfaces in question, and viola! everything is
dandy.

quick look at the command reference, and I see this command was introduce in
12.0.3 - so that puts it into the time frame of the early days of the 65xx
and the MSFC. Dare I hazard a guess that the command was introduced in
anticipation of exactly this kind of situation - the L2 part of the switch
requiring a larger MTU for whatever reason, and the L3 part of the switch
running Ospf and running into exactly this problem?

Geez, some days I really appreciate the time I spend on this group. Amazing
the stuff I remember.

Re: some question about frame-relay configuration! [7:63973]

2003-02-27 Thread The Long and Winding Road
the frame-relay intf-type command is used on a frame relay switch, as part
of the switch to switch config. it should not be used on a customer edge
device.

if you were to enter the "frame-relay switching" commands on R1 and R3, the
interfaces would come up and the routers would engage in frame-relay switch
signaling.

You probably want to remove the frame-relay intf-type commands from R1 and
R3, making them customer edge devices, at which point they will communicate
with R2

Re: Policy Routing on the 3550? [7:64074]

2003-02-28 Thread The Long and Winding Road
one of the "gotchas" of the 3550 IOS images.

There is no reference to the ip policy route-map command in the
documentation. Policy is not mentioned in the configuration guide.

I did check the "unsupported commands" section and did not see anything
specific. But I can say that there are commands that appear in the IOS
menus, and there are commands that you can enter and receive no error
message. And they still have no effect.

guessing now, but because of the experiences above, I would suggest that
policy routing is not supported in the 3550 IOS at this time.

one of the frustrations of this IOS on this platform

the big point seems to be the misconfigured router incident, and it is
highly unlikely that any system or protocol could have prevented that from
happening. afterall, that router was trusted by it's neighbors, as it should

the problem is that the router with the multipoint subinterface considers
that it is on an NMBA, and therefore considers itself as the DR, while the
router using the point-to-point subinterface considers that it is on a
point-to-point link, and therefore does not believe in the necessity for a
DR.

if you look at the "show ip ospf neigh" result, your see the
"attempt/DRother"  the DR is expecting a response from it's partner
indicating the partner is neither a DR or BDR.

in L2 terms, a multipoint subinterface connected to point-to-point
subinterfaces treats all connections as a series of point-to-point links.
due to the manner in which OSPF interacts with frame relay, you can easily
get situations like this.

off the top of my head, without knowing the partciulars, I would advise that
you change the ospf network type to NMBA on the spokes, and use neighbor
statements on the hub. Also, don't forget to manipulate the priorities so
that the hub router becomes the DR.

Cisco is the ultimate arbiter. you can contact them directly at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  I have found that they will respond if you are specific.

be aware that I have asked about potential NDA violation of specific
training materials and received conflicting answers.

>if i write about Cat3550 ,routing protocol stuff (NOT same

While having been through the Lab demands that you be a little more careful,
the fact is that the equipment in the Lab and the equipment in the real
world all works the same way and has similar capability. There is only so
much that can be said.

If you were to say "here is what I saw in the CCIE Lab when I was there" and
provided information, that would be NDA. On the other hand, if you were to
start by identifying core topics, core skill sets, and go from there, you
are probably OK.

Is Caslow a violation of NDA? NLI? IPXpert? Etc?

Or maybe to put it another way, is it any real secret as to what the core
topics are?

better way to put this might be to consider skill sets necessary to proclaim
"expertise" and write around emphasizing those skill sets.

So, for multiple switches in any environment, let alone the CCIE Lab, what
are the expert level things one should know? for example, trunking? VTP?
etherchannel? fallback bridging? vlan failover? various spanning tree
functions? vlan tunnels? etc?

I got a better one for you. Cisco publishes the ASET labs for Cisco
employees and partners to use for  CCIE preparation. Forget NDA. Is this
fair? that working for a partner I can see practice materials written by
Cisco that someone else who does not have that advantage cannot? that I can
attend Cisco sponsored training that others may not?

I think you're OK if you stay clear of any implication that you are
revealing what you saw in the Lab. When I wrote my white paper, available on
Cert Zone, I had not yet seen the new Lab. Now that I've been through the
new Lab, I make very sure that I do not make statements about whether or not
the paper is close to what I saw in the lab. What I do say is that the
topics covered are part of an expert skill set that I believe are required,
especially now that I am doing a lot more big campus switching projects for
customers. as such, the knowledge cannot hurt when one prepares for the Lab.

can still use that setup as a frame switch. A certain rack rental place used

OSPF timers consist of what? and what is the timing relationship?

My Favorite Topic - RIP route propagation / redistribution [7:64320]

2003-03-03 Thread The Long and Winding Road
Cisco Nuts sent me this one off line.

R3---R4---R5
OSPF   RIP

R4 redistributes RIP to OSPF and visa versa


each router has a loopback with an address of 200.0.0.X / 32, where X is the
router number

RIP version 1 on R4 and R5. The loopback on R4 is in the OSPF domain, and
the loopback on R5 is in the RIP domain.

CN apparently did not see the same phenomenon that I did. In his setup, he
saw the summary-address of 200.0.0.0/24 propagated onto R4.

In my setup I saw that so long as I had the 200.0.0.4 address on the R4
loopback that the 200.0.0.0/24 refused to propagate. it did not show up in
the R4 table.

damn, I forgot to ask his IOS version. I'm running 12.1.5T10

solution? has to do with the various ways one can trick RIP into behaving as
VLSM capable.

There are a couple of ways to look at this.

give someone a fish, or teach them how to fish?

what level of expertise is the person asking the question?

The question itself - how to change one ospf timer without using the
timer-specific command - is a standard trick question for a lot of CCIE
practice labs. It's not generally the kind of thing that comes up in the
CCNA qualification exam.

Making the assumption that someone is prepping for the CCIE Lab, should they
be expecting specific answers to specific questions? Or should they be
spending a bit more time acquiring the expertise that is going to be tested
in the Lab?

Maybe there are CCNP practice labs out there that ask these kinds of
questions as well? Maybe the guy asking the question is a newly minted CCNA
and is starting his road to CCNP? Sure, ask the question.

My own opinion, and my own advice to anyone who dreams of attaining the
CCIE, is to start early and often - get into the habit of looking things up
in the documentation first. Knowing your way around the doc CD or the Cisco
CCO doc pages is a skill that will serve you well in a lot of different
places, including the CCIE Lab itself.

Let's see if I understand you correctly.

A company is located in a multistory building. There are 700 users spread
out among 20 floors. So on average there are 35 users per floor.

I'm going to assume a single data center with your servers and internet
connection.

Got fiber running from your data center to the various floors? How is this
structured? how far from the dataccenter to each of the floors?

the answer to this will help determine if you use a collapsed backbone or if
you connect your switches in series.

do you have groups of users who should logically be separated from
eachother. Some companies like their payroll department to be on a separate
network from other departments, for example. are there some services that
need to be separated and unavailable to some users?

These days, 700 uses, particularly in a switched environment, is not such a
large braodcast domain ( stop grinding your teeth, Priscilla ;-> ) but
still, you might just want to separated out logical groups into vlans. or
maybe do it by grouping a couple of florrs together into vlans.

my knee jerk thought, not knowing too much about the particulars, is
determine your port counts per floor, determine connectivity - fiber runs
between closets, and where those runs terminate. if it's copper, you got
troubles :->

determine your logical / vlan structures. who needs to see what and when.

Then go through the provisioning process.

Don't be afraid to call in a couple of vendors to help you. ask for
proposals. If you have a vendor who works closely with you and wants to help
educate you, that's your guy ( or gal, for the politically correct )

hope this helps you get started.

it's morte like IPSec over a GRE tunnel, and watch the MTU if you do this.

I'm not sure I'm understanding you. GRE is a tunnel protocol between two
endpoints.

interface tunnel 1
tunnel source loopback 1
tunnel destination 100.1.1.2
ip address 200.1.1.1 255.255.255.252

then add your crypto commands to enable IPSec over this tunnel

your IPSec command access-list might look something like

access-list 101 permit ip 121.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 122.1.1.0 0.0.0.255

this would permit hosts with a source address on the 121.1.1.0/24 subnet
sending traffic to hosts on the 122.1.1.0 subnet to be permitted across the
IPSec interface.

am I understanding you correctly? It's late and I'm getting sleepy.  :O

if nothing else, the SMI image contains an "i9" while the EMI image contains

c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-12c.EA1.bin  = smi

I believe the term comes out of the wiring / cabling world, and not from
routing architecture.

A "collapsed" backbone has all wiring closets linked back directly to the
BDF / MDF

a "distributed" backbone has the wiring going from closet to closet in a
series

2003-03-05 Thread The Long and Winding Road
R2
loop = 222.222.222.2/32
IGRP 100
loopback is in the igrp domain

R3
loop = 222.222.222.3/32
IGRP 100
EIGRP 200
loopback is in the eigrp domain

R2 SHOULD be advertising 222.222.222.0/24 to R3. And it is.

However, R3 is also advertising 222.222.222.0/24 to R2

Split horizon IS enable. I checked that.

I watched debug traces for an hour, and was writing my post when it occurred
to me that eigrp was interacting with igrp.

 222.222.222.0/24 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks
C   222.222.222.4/32 is directly connected, Loopback1001
O IA222.222.222.5/32 [110/65] via 199.45.1.5, 10:53:34, Serial1
I   222.222.222.0/24 is possibly down,
  routing via 199.34.1.3, Serial0
 199.34.1.0/29 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C   199.34.1.0 is directly connected, Serial0
 199.45.1.0/27 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C   199.45.1.0 is directly connected, Serial1
C199.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, TokenRing0

 222.222.222.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C   222.222.222.3/32 is directly connected, Loopback1001
I   222.222.222.0/24 [100/8976] via 199.34.1.4, 00:02:19, Serial0
 199.34.1.0/29 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C199.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, TokenRing0
C193.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback1
Router_3#

the "possibly down" moves from router to router slowly, as the dead time
expires.

the "problem" as I see it, it that EIGRP and IGRP are interacting. If I
remove 222.222.222.0 from the eigrp process, the problem disappears.

as a matter of intellect, it could well be a split horizon type issue, in
that both routers believe they are the source of 222.222.222.0 ( igrp on r2
and eigrp on r3 ) on the other hand, automatic summarization was turned off.

in my mind, there is some thing happening within the code that is the cause
of this problem. as I said, I thought igrp and eigrp interacted only if both
were in the same AS on the same router.

I believe the SMI does RIP routing, so this is not necessarily proof.

the label on the switch only tells what the device was when Cisco shipped.
It is common practice for sellers on e-bay to up the image to EMI and sell
the boxes as EMI to command a few more bucks.

the sh ver will also proclaim the device as SMI, even with the EMI image
loaded.

I coulda sworn that there was somewhere else in the output that indicated
the image type, but it doesn't surprise me that I am wrong.

sure, but the interface report serves a different purpose. The only routing
protocols that honor split horizon are IGRP and RIP.

BGP, OSPF and EIGRP use topology tables of one kind or another ( stop
steaming at the ears, Howard :-> )

it is highly feasible that any of these latter protocols would need to
advertise routes back out the interface from which they were learned. Eg DR,
BDR, etc. BGP neighbor, etc.

personally, I wouldn't do busness with anyone whose web site is 120 columns

end.

yeah I could do that, but then these old eyes wouldn't be able to read the
damn thing.

before commiting, you may want to do a google search on CCIE rack rental (
no quotes - just these three words ), and see what you come up with.

Also, check out e-bay, where lots of rack rentals are being auctioned at
pretty reasonable prices.

there is a known bug with IOS versions lower than 12.1. Thids bug manifests
itself when you do a bgp default-information originate command under the BGP
process. Casues the router to reload. Real pain, especially when you are as
fast with the write mem as I am. :->

I have not experienced an issue related to the "clear ip bgp *" command, but
that doesn't mean there isn't one.

this might seem like a dumb question, but are there vlans or even hosts with
the paticular address?

in a subnet with a prefix shorter than /24, the 0 or the 255 might be a
legitimate host address.

could be a bug too, but I'd want to know the prefix length and more detail.

just like the documentation.

a couple of IOS releases ago, the trick question used to be, how do you
change the hello timer without using the ip ospf hello command. but alas, in
the more current IOS releases, changing the dead timer does not
automatically change the hello, rendering a number of CCIE practice labs
obsolete.

good question. seriously.

let's look at it another way

"Tell me the answer" or "I was reading this book, or doing this practice lab
and this point came up. I re-read the materials but I'm missing it. Where
can I find the answer?"

that's why I posted the link to the page on CCO where the appropriate
comands are found. it is also why I suggested that a good habit to get into
is to use the doc page first.

HSRP assumes the ehternet interfaces to be on the same subnet. your ehternet
side is on two different subnets. hence - no failover.

to get this to work using 2514's:


E0--2514_1---E1

E0--2514_2---E1


the e0's on the same subnet, the e1's on the same subnet

Yes.

Cisco docs call it a "hybrid" protocol because it combines some link state
features, yet also has hop count ( distance ) limitations.

in what way? the hop count is pretty well hidden in the dark interior of the
code. all those cost numbers, the ( also somewhat hidden ) topology table,
and the ( somewaht hidden ) successor table certainly give it the appearance
of link state.

in none of the Cisco exams I have ever taken has there ever been the more
appropriate answer of "it depends"

to bring a bit of real world into this, I am working with a couple of large
organizations, for projects that involve good sized campus switched
networks. Several of my coworkers are involved in similar projects. We are
finding places where there may well be a couple thousand ddevices in a
single broadcast domain. The IT folks in these orgs do know that sometimes
there are problems. However, most also say that in general, they don't have
a great deal of problems.

an apocryhal story, but a couple of years back I interviewed with a large
bank in this area. They were looking for detailed sniffer experience ( which
I did not have ) because, they said, they had as many as 1000 stations on a
segment, and whenever there were network performance issues, they sniffed
like crazy, swapped out any nic that they considered "over the edge" and in
general did everything they could to limit things that might adversely
effect the ability of their users to do what they had to do, much of which
was to get wire ( money ) transfers completed quickly and accurately.

I worked in brokerage a few years. In that business, broadcast IS the
business. About 200 stations in a shared hub domain was too much. Moving
folks to 24 stations on a hub, with the hubs connected to switch ports, was
quite effective. in terms of reduction of performance complaints. I would
never do it this way these days.

As for the manufacturers, all they care about is selling equipment, so of
course they are going to promote thresholds which support the selling of
more equipment.

the REAL question is "which is better, EIGRP or  L3 switching?"   ;->
