Re: OSPF Database Filter [7:38431]

2002-03-15 Thread Tshon

I have no way of testing this, but the understanding that I have is that,
Passive-interface stops the processing of routing updatesbut doesn't 
stop
Hello's from being advertised out that interface
Yet the database-filter will not allow neighborships from being formed

So you might have the passive-interface but hello's are still being sent 
out
that interface,

If someone could check this with a passive-interface turn on ospf debug

John Neiberger wrote:

There are two related commands that prevent flooding of OSPF LSAs:

ospf database-filter all out
neighbor a.b.c.d database-filter all out

I'm curious about how precise they're being with the word 'flooding'. 
Will this command stop *all* LSAs or does it simply filter out the
periodic flooding of LSAs roughly every 30 minutes?

Again, I don't have a way to test this at work at the moment and I
can't find a better explanation on CCO, at least so far.

It seems to me that if it stops all LSAs, there's not too much
difference between that and the passive-interface command.  The command
references specifically use the word 'flooding' so at this point I'm
thinking they are only referring to the periodic flooding of LSAs and
not the other types of LSA exchanges.

Re: Loopback Interfaces..long reply, read carefully please to [7:38300]

The answer everyone keeps giving you is no.

OK, For some reason, my first time of sending this reply got chopped, so

Brian, et al.,
Please Note the following:

***All I wanted to know was: Can the Loopback Interface be used to host a

or is its functionality such that it will always respond like an interface
configured with a 255.255.255.255 mask, and 86 traffic not destined for IT
on the same subnet??

I'm not looking for someone to help me make a completely working config for
all routers in this implementation.

The idea is to do such:

!Interface FastEthernet0

Mark Odette II  wrote in message

OK, I'll make the question simpler.


Can you use a loopback interface in the same respect that you would use an
ethernet interface?

Create the loopback:  Interface Loopback0
Assign it an IP with a /24 mask : ip address 192.168.10.1
Configure the subnet assigned to the loopback interface to a routing
process, such as EIGRP or RIP.
Assign many other hosts on a LAN or a WAN an IP address that is in the

same

subnet as the loopback interface.
Replicate the above configuration on Router at other end of FR network.
add subnet assigned to far-end routers' loopback interface to local EIGRP
AS, or RIP; do the same on the far-end routers' config for the same EIGRP

AS

or RIP configuration.

And then, configure FR Subinterface with IP Unnumbered Loopback0, and

route

traffic across the FR network, with the traffic orininating from either

the

Router, or another host (if configuration above is legal) on the subnet

that

is assigned to the Loopback interface.

What I want to do, is configure a VoIP enabled router with a loopback
interface assigned to 192.168.10.1, and several LAN hosts with the same
subnet assignment, i.e., 192.168.10.2, .3, .4, etc., and a /24 subnet mask
for all hosts including loopback interface.
I then want to create and assign IP Unnumbered loopbackX to a FR P-to-P
subinterface.

Create EIGRP AS to route Subnets assigned to loopback interfaces on each
respective router.

Mirror image this configuration on the other end of the wire (FR

Network).

Configure Dial-Peers with VOIP destinations pointing to the loopback
interface of the peer router (other end of the FR Network).

Is this Possible??


The reason why I want to use Loopback interfaces, is because I plan to
assign a separate subnet to the FastEthernet Interface, and don't believe
that the use of the Secondary command will work, i.e., you can't specify

IP

Unnumbered FastEthernet0 and have the Secondary IP address used ip
unnumbered fastethernet0 will use the FastEthernets' Primary address,

which

is not desired.

The Primary Subnet assigned to the FastEthernet Interface will be NAT
Translating with a PIX FW (PIX will be doing the NAT) to hit the Internet.


For Topology description:
Router HQ  connects to internet on one subinterface, while connecting to 3
remote offices on a private FR network on a second subinterface.
Router Remote1 Will be connecting to the internet on one subinterface,

while

connecting back to HQ on separate FR subinterface for VoIP over FR traffic
only (no Data traffic)
Router Remote2 will be doing the same as Remote1
Router Remote3 will also be doing the same as Remote1

... So much for a simpler reply. :)

Thanks in advance for everyones' comments.

this is not one of those I have a customer questions, although I have a

A couple of years ago a small college installed a new cable plant consisting
of fiber for data and copper for analogue phones between their main telco

analogue phones in the dorms. The idea was that dorm occupants would arrange
for their own telephone service, and use an analogue phone to connect to the
telco.

Well, room mates being what they are, the college decided that rather than
continually break up fights resulting from disputes over telephone usage and
payment, they would provide the means for two phones per room rather than
one.  Ah, but there is only enough copper between the buildings to
accommodate one phone per room. What to do.

the customer's question to me - can he use the existing fiber to transport
the analogue signal to the main telco closet?

Well, I merrily mulled this over, and came up with a number of very clever
solutions. But after having completed the work, it occurred to me that
because I was so jazzed at trying to come up with a solution, I neglected to
ask a very important question.

So today's quiz, for all you techno gurus - what is the question I neglected
to ask?

for extra credit - why is that question so important?

Hint - consider the ways one might convert analogue to optic.

their salaries.  You might
run into a company early on that has no clue and with a CCNA get 
$80,000 move to another

 You'll probably be placed in a

Subject: CCNP exams [7:38097]


My comment is with the CCNP exams. When I started it was the 500 series,
which was not long ago, now its changing to the 600 series. For some
people it takes a while to pass a CCNP exam, so I have not had enough
time to get a lot done in the 500 series, let alone switch to 600. I
know the 600 is not out yet, but still. Also here is a question, why
would someone want to take the last exam in the CCNP series, because
when you take the last exam, your 2 year timer starts ticking. Where is
the motivation there? I think I am just going to work on the course
material, and not take the rest of the exams, $125 a pop is a lot, and
you're right there are so many exams. So for CCNP it would cost me $500.
Then if I wanted to do the security, another 400-500$, that saying if I
passed everything on the 1st go. Then the books and courseware. Then
re-certification, this is an expensive proposition. 

And I don't see a significant salary increase for CCNP certification.
Like a regular experienced Network engineer with MCSE/CCNA makes say
like 60-85K. Well that is the same range as a CCNP would make. I donno,
the way some of these help wanted ads are written, you would think that
CCNA is better then CCNP. I always see like CCNA highly desired. 

I am already scheduled for 503, so there is nothing I can do about that.
But I ask myself this question. What is the difference between me going
to a testing center, paying 125$ for each of these exams vs. me going in
my bedroom, sitting down with a Boston or transcender to test my
knowledge. I think I might do just that. Besides, everyone says it is
more important to know the material, and then have some paper. I am not
knocking the CCNP, it's a great program. But right now I can afford
these ongoing cost, and the ongoing cost are not exactly justified. I
thought the exams for the CCNP did test my knowledge of the subject
fairly. My plan for right now is to learn all the material I would need
to be a CCNP, but not take the rest of the exams. If an employer request
I have my CCNP, Ill just say gimme $500 and Ill go do that.

should anyone be surprised that Cisco too is becoming victim to the
certification craze?

1) cert tests for everything under the sun

2) reduction of the CCIE Lab from two days to one

3) obsolete and EOL'd equipment in the Lab

4) lower level tests that have too many filler questions centered around
marketing materials

5) poorly worded questions? sometimes I wonder if this is just the
excuse of
those who don't really know the materials, but since I know your work,

It would be impossible for Cisco to test for everything out there - old

Mathew,

I'm not sure if I know you or not, are you in the Seattle area? 
 Well anyway, the current market for
CCSI's is overloaded.  The training partners are having a hard time 
staying in business.  The contract
CCSI's most are out of work and or have moved on to permanent positions 
until the economy
bounces back.  I hate to discourage you but I would try doing other 
training like MCT and when the
market bounces back hopefully you have aligned yourself with a 
Authorized training partner.  You
require sponsorship to get the CCSI cert.  Without sponsorship you will 
not get in.  The CCSI cert
will and is always tied to a training partner, it is never really yours 
unless you work out some type of
contract.

a T1 is a physical layer circuit.  ISDN's PRI is technology that rides

So you could have a T1 between two sites in a point to point setup,
or You could have a PRI that forms a point to point when dialed across 
any of its B channels,
between to sites
what you have is a T1 between you and a telco (isdn) switch and your

connects you to the toll switched network or PSTN cloud.  At the cloud you
can make a call on any of the 23 B channels a B channel is 64k but there 
is another
channel which is the D channel, taking up the last 64k channel.  A T1

What in the world is the question about, what are you trying to do. 
 Ping the remote routers, they have a serial

This has got to be the most confusing message I have ever read.
A loopback interface is just a virtual interface. It's not a real interface
it's just a virtual interface you can create within the router, and you can

The biggest reason someone would want to use a loopback interface would be
for resiliency. If you build a certain session to the loopback interface
(BGP, DLSW...) and you have more than one path to reach this router the
session will not die if a certain interface dies.

The FR Pvt Network is only for Voice Traffic, while all data traffice will

FastEthernet0.

Here is where my quandry lays.  I can't create a Secondary address, as I
believe the IP UnNumbered command will use the primary address on the

So, can I create a Loopback interface, and treate it like a Ethernet

it

have a /24 mask, and other devices on the local network can also be keyed
for the same subnet as the Loopback, making it where I can give the

I thought I could, but then got concerned when I hopped on CCO, and did a

Re: EIGRP Metric and Route inconcistence [7:38043]

2002-03-12 Thread Tshon

I'm not sure I understand your entire question.  But, I hope this 
helps... you have to many formulas.

What the recommendation states is that if you are running other routing 
protocols like ospf who
takes its decisions based on bandwidth statements then you shouldn't 
change them, because it
will also affect ospf.

But here think about this you could change the K values for Eigrp, to 
only look at delay.
then adjust the delay for what you wish.

Hans PHAM wrote:

Hi,

By default EIGRP uses 2 metric: Bandwidth and Delay to calculate routes. It
is recomended that we should not change the Actual Bandwith, but we can
change the interface delay for the traffic enginering purposes.

The metric is :  Min Bandwidth + Cumulative Delay.

This can end up with a problem of route non-consiste1nce. Here is my
counter example:

R2
   /  \
  /\
R1  R4-R5
  \/
   \  /
R3


Link
1-2 : Bandwidth = 10M, delay = 10ms
2-4 : Bandwidth = 20M, delay = 5ms
1-3 : Bandwidth = 20M, delay = 15ms
3-4 : Bandwidth = 20M, delay = 5ms

4-5 : Bandwidth = 10M, delay = 10ms

The traffic from R1 to a network directly connected to R4 will be load
balance between routes R1-R2-R4 and R1-R3-R4. because the Metric of the two
routes are the same:

R1-R2-R4 = Bandwidth (i.e. 10^7 / 1) + Delay (i.e 1000  + 500) = = 1000
+ 1000 + 500 = 2500

R1-R3-R4 = 500 + 1500 + 500 = 2500

However, traffic from R1 heading for R5 is not load-balanced because the
Metric R1-R2-R4-R5 is 3500 while the metric R1-R3-R4-R5 = 4000

that means all traffic from R1 - R5 will go via R2

That's is a kind of inconcistence, which may lead to bottleneck, and cause
difficulty for traffic engineering.

Could you please tell me if I am wrong or right ? 

If I am right, how we can overcome this problem.


Thanks a lot.

might work perfectly well, but we'll
replace it because you aren't familiar  The test and the labs as 
John knows are not

the same old situations exist with new ones.  And you need to be 
prepared for it all, in the
end you need to be prepared to use your resources and understand 
quickly.  A company

Greetings all -

I have a discussion point that I am curious to get

For example, at least four questions regarded products

time ago. Other questions included choices that don't


exist - at least I am unaware of a (sic) series router
for serial connections (it was a switch that does not
have a WIC slot). Still more questions had no
reasonable way to answer them without having
previously read or learned specific Cisco materials.

My observation is that this is bad for us as
certification holders. And, since we pay for the tests
and represent to our employers that they represent a
certain level of professionalism, I think I have a
real issue. The issues are not complaints regarding
poor writing or syntax on the exam, although I am
concerned about this for non-native English speakers
taking the English exam. Rather, I am concerned that
the test is outdated even when its in beta. This is
not the first test (production or beta) that I have
noted this with. I still haven't seen tests on MPLS,
VPN, 4224 switches, IMA, etc., yet this would seem to
be relevant on the CCNP/DP exams.

Please share your thoughts.

BTW - If this is considered an OT item please
disregard. It is my hope to gain some understanding
and then address the issue with Cisco if there is
agreement that there is an issue. As the content of
the tests is of concern to all of us I hope that the
potential benefits are valued.

Re: Multichassis PPP Multilink?!?!? [7:37892]

2002-03-11 Thread Tshon

Multichassis Multilink PPP Overview
Prior to Release 11.2, Cisco IOS supported Multilink PPP (MLP). 
Beginning with Release 11.2, Cisco IOS software also supports 
Multichassis Multilink PPP (MMP).

Multilink PPP provides the capability of splitting and recombining 
packets to a single end-system across a logical pipe (also called a 
bundle) formed by multiple links. Multilink PPP provides bandwidth on 
demand and reduces transmission latency across WAN links.

MMP, however, provides the additional capability for links to terminate 
at multiple routers with different remote addresses. MMP can also handle 
both analog and digital traffic.

This feature is intended for situations with large pools of dial-in 
users, where a single chassis cannot provide enough dial ports. This 
feature allows companies to provide a single dialup number to its users 
and to apply the same solution to analog and digital calls. This feature 
allows internet service providers (ISPs), for example, to allocate a 
single ISDN rotary number to several ISDN PRIs across several routers. 
This capability allows for easy expansion and scalability, and for 
assured fault tolerance and redundancy.

MMP allows network access servers to be stacked together and appear as a 
single network access server chassis so that if one network access 
server fails, another network access server in the stack can accept calls.

With large-scale dial-out, these features are available for both 
outgoing and incoming calls.

Stack Groups
Routers or access servers are configured to belong to groups of peers, 
called stack groups. All members of the stack group are peers; stack 
groups do not need a permanent lead router. Any stack group member can 
answer calls coming from a single access number, which is usually an 
ISDN PRI hunt group. Calls can come in from remote user devices, such as 
routers, modems, ISDN terminal adapters, or PC cards.

Once a connection is established with one member of a stack group, that 
member owns the call. If a second call comes in from the same client and 
a different router answers the call, the router establishes a tunnel and 
forwards all packets belonging to the call to the router that owns the 
call. Establishing a tunnel and forwarding calls through it to the 
router that owns the call is sometimes called projecting the PPP link to 
the call master.

If a more powerful router is available, it can be configured as a member 
of the stack group and the other stack group members can establish 
tunnels and forward all calls to it. In such a case, the other stack 
group members are just answering calls and forwarding traffic to the 
more powerful offload router.



 Note   High-latency WAN lines between stack group members can make 
stack group operation inefficient. 




Michael Williams wrote:

Hey all.  Has anyone here gotten to use Multichassis PPP Multilink?
All of the documentation I read keeps referring to dial-up and Access
Servers, but one Cisco doc says:

MMP is supported on the Cisco 7500, 4500, and 2500 series platforms and on
synchronous serial, asynchronous serial, ISDN BRI, ISDN PRI, and dialer
interfaces.

Does this mean I can use this to bond multiple T1 between different
routers?  Here's the scenario.  Let's say I have two 7500s at headquarters
and a remote with with two 2500's, each with a single point-to-point T1
connection back to one of the HQ 7500s (2500A has a T1 back to 7500A, and
2500B has a T1 back to 7500B).  Can I use Multichassis PPP Multilink to
combine those two into a single bundle for load-balancing purposes?

Any input would be appreciated since the Cisco docs aren't very clear as to
what you can/can't do with this protocol.

Thanks!

Thanks Tim Medley, well put

Mario, you should really concentrate on learning the technology, be able

to

understand how it can be utilized in many different
situations and when you take the test, you don't have to think about the
passing grades.

My two cents.

All Cisco exams are Pass or Fail exams. It's that simple, if you know
the material that is covered on the exam then you will Pass; if you do
not know the material then you will Fail.

Your focus should not be how you can skim by and just barely pass the
exam.

If you don't really know the concepts and technologies and just cram so
that you pass the exam, what good is the certification then? Just
because you have a certification doesn't mean that someone is going to
hire you and throw money at you.

Employers look at certifications as a base line, a ccda should know xyz
concepts and know how to accomplish xyz tasks. If you can't perform at
the baseline level you're not going to be around at that job long or you
may not even get hired.

With the way the Tech job market is these days, you need to be able to
differentiate yourself from your peers. Paper Certs are not a way to do
this.

Please stop asking for minimum scores to pass or the number of questions
on an exam. Review the exam outlines and blueprints on CCO and learn the
concepts and technologies.

Most everyone here in this forum is here to share knowledge and learn
from each other. If you don't understand a concept or technology, post a
question about it you'll receive plenty of help.

Re: Q on FR spoke configuration. [7:36293]

The answer is A or B... if you have just one pvc coming in from the 
switch, and inverse-arp running
you don't have to do anything on the spoke.   B would work fine if 
inverse-arp is working.
A would take care of everything and leave nothing to chance.  (all 
considering one pvc coming into the spoke)

Re: Nortel NNCA certification [7:36190]

2002-02-22 Thread Tshon

The answer,

First I like you to know that I am a Cisco Certified Systems Instructor, 
and also that I am a Nortel Networks
Certified Instructor.  But, anyone of the certifications will give you 
the knowledge you need to attain the other.
When it comes down to it, the standards are the standards.  Each vendor 
implements the standards, from there
they then implement propietary technoligies.  What you have to learn for 
both companies is who to interface,
with their equipment.command line or gui. then understand the 
proprietary and cross platform standards.
Sorry, that I have to inform you of this first.  But, most 
people in the industry have a higher regard for the
Cisco certs than any other Networking vendor.  That is usually because 
of limited implementation of the other
products.

You should one get the cert you need for your current employment 
situation.  Then you should pursue
you personal financial goals.  After that you can attain the others cert 
fairly easy.   I am not aware of any study
groups but good luck!

Re: CCIE Question [7:36243]

2002-02-22 Thread Tshon

guys should keep in mind:

No there is no CCIE Q or written cert.  Cisco has identified you as 
a lab candidate.  This applies
to everyone on the planet.  You have been invited to take the lab, 
if you pass the written and after
that date you are still a CCIE candidate just like everyone elso on 
the planet.
Just because you are a CCNP w/a specialization or not. you are 
not invited!

Next there is the financial aspect for corporations (the smart one). 
 CCIE's are expensive salaries are easily
$120,000/yr plus.  But, if I can get a guy just before he passes lab 
but after he has passed his written, I know
that he is trying and his knowledge will continue to increase.  I 
then close to lab time have a CCIE on staff,
working for pennies.  And I have first crack at a offer.

So, thanks to the demand for CCIE's the CCIE written as you have 
been identified has had a little weight,
not taking into account the present economy.

Now there have been job posting for CCIE written, candidates, 
Qualification exam people.  And if you feel
confident enough to wear that title put what they are looking for on 
the resume.  

Now CCNP whatevers have not been identified as such by anyone on 
the planet.

Finally it comes down to this Do you have a number behind those 
letters?

Cisco has made it clear that passing the written -CCIE exam does not get you
a certificate in itself.  Only by passing both the written and the lab do
you obtain a cert.  I don't know how it came to be acceptable that people
can claim a certificate that doesn't exist.

While you might say that it's not really a big deal - after all, the written
is an exam, so it 'sort-of' is like a cert, so what's the harm in pretending
that it's another cert?  Well, the real problem is that if people are
allowed to make up a CCIE-Q cert that doesn't exist, then what's to stop
them from making up other qualifications that don't exist?  It's the classic
slippery slope.  For example, if the CCIE-Q becomes an accepted pseudo-cert,
then later somebody will inevitably say they have a CCIE-A, because they
(A)ttempted the written (but didn't pass).  Or  a CCIE-F for somebody
who's never even seen a router in his life, but has heard about the CCIE
program and is thinking about doing it in the (F)uture.  Or heck, how about
a Bachelor's Degree-(F) for somebody who's never stepped into a classroom in
his life, but might do it in the future.  I don't know about you, but I hold

You should first understand what protocol you are running across

Re: Ip subnet Zero Ip classess [7:35340]

Ok, try this

Ip- classless:  allows a router to look for routes classlessly 
(understands subnets) meaning it will do a longest bit match with routes 
in your routing table but if after checking for subnets it doesn't find 
one locally then it follows the default route.  
With out this command the router would still do a longest bit 
match but doesn't understand subnets, and would check for a subnet if it 
is not local to your router it would be dropped.

Ip subnet-zero-  This allows the use of the zero subnet and the ip 
addresses in that range.  take for instance you have a 10.1.1.0/24 and 
you decided to break that up into 2 networks.  the network would be 
10.1.1.64/26 and 10.1.1.128/26 you have lost two networks network 
10.1.1.0/26 (.1-.62, 63 is broadcast) and its ip addresses and 
10.1.1.192/26 (.193-254, 255 is broadcast) and its ip addresses.

Re: dce / dte [7:35138]

2002-02-11 Thread Tshon

Ok, Here it is.  Hopefully very simple.  The dce think of it as a 
translator it speaks two different technologies at layer one of the osi 
model.  The dce recievies a signal from say a t1, which operates at 
level one of the osi model.  The t1 signal has clock in it this is 
derived from a stratom clock passed down through the networks for 
timing.. so you have two dce or csu both operating on the ends of 
the circuit, in the same language using the same beat in synch.  All 
of this is fine, but the routers have to take the data that they are 
receiving and pass to the dce.  So this requires that the 
routersdte... are also in synch... where can they get the common 
signaling from?  you guessed it, the same timing signal can be passed to 
the routers from the csu lets try that again, the dte 
can receiving the timing from the dce.  the dce terminates the t1 
circuit, derives the timing and places that on a timing pin/pins to the 
dte.  The dce also derives the data from the t1 and sends that on the 
data pin/pins to the dte
