PIX Question on VPNs

2001-03-15 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Hi everyone,
I have a question on the operation of VPNs when using a PIX and connecting
via PPTP from a Win2K client.

Suppose I have a PIX that is setup to accept PPTP connections and
dynamically assign the client an IP address from a LAN subnet after they've
been authenticated on the PIX.
After the VPN tunnel is established, is it possible to go to a website while
the tunnel is active?
The NAT (inside) 0  command is used on the PIX.

If you wish you can use native PPTP tunnels in Win2K to the PIX until Cisco
gets a client out.

RE: PIX problem

2001-03-19 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Sam, Cisco documentation suggests that there is no workaround for this.
I've had the same problem.  From what I read on CCO, for a machine with a
static global IP address mapped to a LAN address, LAN users use the local IP
while outside users use the global IP.  If someone has a config where they
can use the Global address inside the LAN, I'd like to see how it was done.

Hello Group,
I am having trouble figuring out a small issue with a PIX firewall.  It is
running ver 4.4(5).
After entering the approriate static and conduit (WWW) commands, I tried
accessing the host from our internal network using the external address and
I was not able to.  I then tested from a machine that is outside our
firewall and was able to access the host without any problem.

Is their a command that I am missing in order to let users on our internal
network access hosts using the external IP addresses?
Thanks in advance,
Sam

RE: Multiple T1's

2001-03-20 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

In this scenario, is it possible to use a "backup interface" command along
with "backup load" and "backup delay" commands to achieve redundancy and
load balancing?  Providing that both T1's are correctly configured and are
connected to the same router?

I don't understand what advantage EIGRP would give.   First, no routing
protocol load balances.  It is the routing table
task that makes the final decision about load balancing, with the mode
dependent
on the switching modes of the output interfaces.

Second, any routing protocol, except standard BGP (i.e., without Cisco
extensions) and
OSPF externals, can produce equal-cost routes eligible for load balancing.

EIGRP and IGRP can produce unequal-cost routes eligible for load balancing,
but the media here specifically are equal cost

Multiple T1's

2001-03-21 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

To revisit this question from yesterday, could the following be done and
what does it accomplish, if anything?
The question posed is below.

"Jason Stephens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message
998ndv$1fh$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:998ndv$1fh$[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
We have a situation where we want to have 2 t1's going to another office.
We want these 2 t1's to not only provide redundancy in case 1 goes down, but
also want them to load balance while they are both up.
So basically, we want the two t1's to be up providing 3 mpbs of bandwidth
and if one goes down for it to automatically send all traffic to the t1 that
is still up. We have 3600 series routers on both ends. Can this be done? If
so, please explain how. I looked into the Multilink PPP stuff, but it seems
to be only for async ports. Thanks for any info in advance!

Is this possible to achieve using the solution below?

Use a "backup interface" command along with "backup load" and "backup delay"
commands to achieve redundancy and
load balancing.  Both T1's are correctly configured and are connected to the
same router. Static routes are used for each T1 using "ip route 0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 ".

By my reasoning, by using the backup interface command on the primary line,
if the primary line goes down the second line is used automatically to route
traffic.

If the primary line exceeds the load specified by the "backup load" command,
the second line is put into use automatically.
The "backup delay" command just tells the router to stop using the second
line when usage on the primary line drops below the predefined load.

Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Passed CID

2000-09-15 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Hi all, just wanted to share my elation with the rest of you.  I took CID
for the second time yesterday and barely passed with a 67% score.  The first
time I scored 60%.  As mentioned many times on this list, the CID is one of
the more difficult exams because it requires thinking a bit beyond what you
actually learn from the study guide.  Quite a few of the questions were
really puzzling and it was hard to figure out what answer to choose.  I have
nothing really to add other than the fact that the exam objectives are a
pretty accurate guide of what topics should be known.  100 questions, 65%
passing score.  I used Cisco Internetwork Design from Cisco Press and CID
Study Guide from Sybex.  Anyone planning to take this test, be forewarned.
Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the material in the study
guide.  Good luck.  Now I'm on to advancing my knowledge by tackling CCIE
material and the long hard road to THE lab...

RE: Bye

2000-09-21 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Why is everyone getting so worked up over one email message?  If most of you
notice, the more prominent members of this list don't even bother with these
types of messages.  

Which goes to show you that I'm not one of the more prominent members.

Anyway, every week or so, someone sends an inflammatory message and people
turn it into one long, disgusting thread.  You should all realize that since
this is a public list, anyone will be able to post whatever they feel like.
The sooner you realize that it's just better to ignore these messages than
post a reply, the better off everyone else will be.  We wouldn't have to be
assaulted by angry, retaliatory messages.

If some of the people who responded to John's message, bothered to read it
fully, they would have realized that there's no clue as to whether he has no
experience or not.  He's just pissed that people keep asking questions that
point to their own laziness and he venting at those people, not anyone else.

I know that it's not my place to give advice, but damn it! Try to keep your
shirts on people.  If a message gets your ire up, try ignoring it and spare
us all from your anger.

Thank you for reading the ENTIRE message!!!

Title: SmartCertify CBT software for study



I 
would strongly advise you to take the salesperson's words with few grains of 
salt.  I've purchased their old MCSE 4.0 cbt ($1000) with all the 
bells and whistles of hands on exercises.  I ended up setting the CBT aside 
and buying another for $150 from New Riders that helped me through the MS 
exams.  There is just not enough detail on the material that it's supposed 
to teach you.  I also bought the ACRC CBT from them last year (again with 
all the bells and whistles) and was sorely disappointed and even more upset that 
I had wasted another grand.  I thought that there would have been 
improvements in the CBT material.  Anyway, I've learned my lesson.  I 
use books only now.
Way 
too much clicking (I guess that's what they call it interactive) and very

  purchasing their Cisco IMCR package, which, I'm told, leads one through all 
  sorts of theory about routing/switching (to fill in any gaps your current 
  education left), information about the routers themselves (how the backplane 
  operates, etc.), and includes a section that simulates IOS configuration of 
  everything from setting the hostname to configuring BGP and IOS upgrades. Not 
  only that, but the salesman told me they guarantee that you'll be ready for 
  and PASS your CCIE lab (not written - he was specific) once you can work your 
  way through the whole CBT.
  I was a bit skeptical, but he was insistent, so I'm interested 
  in checking it out. But for such a magical product I was expecting the price 
  to be on the order of $5 - $10K. Turns out it's only $1499. A guarantee like

You can be good at studying and taking exams or have a whole lot of
experience or both.  Any way you see it, the exams are certainly passable
with enough study or experience.  Take myself for instance, I started the
CCNA back in November of 99 and I hadn't even known what an IOS was.  Now
I'm all the way to CCIE written and I haven't even worked in an enterprise

I haven't looked for a new job since I obtained the Cisco certifications. (I

Subject: ATM & CDP


I have a Cisco router connected to a Cisco LightStream 1010 ATM switch.
 The 'sh int atm 1/0' command shows that the interface and line
protocol are up, but I can't ping what I thought was the IP address of
the switch's ATM interface(10.11.1.2/24).  I know the IP address of the
ATM interface on the router (10.11.1.1/24), but I can't figure out the
IP address of the switch's ATM interface.  Would this address normally
show up in the 'show cdp neighbors' command?  The output of that
command shows nothing for the ATM interface.  In the 'sh ip arp'
command, there are only Ethernet entries, none for ATM.  Also, can you
ping over ATM?  Obviously I don't know a whole lot about ATM, but I'd
appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks,

Jake

Re: trunking

2001-03-29 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Another issue to consider is the fact that if IP telephony will ever be
implemented (Cisco's anyway), dot1q trunking has to be used, negating the
use of ISL.  A recent implementation has emerged called MISTP (Multiple
Instance STP) that supposedly supports multiple spanning trees over the
dot1q protocol.  Does it work in an IP telephony environment?  I leave that
up to someone more qualified to answer.

Re: problem with installing vpn 3.0 client for win2000

2001-03-29 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

I've installed 301k9 twice now on Win2K Pro and have never had any problems
(apart from the fact that it doesn't work with our PIX and I didn't find
that out until I read the documentation).  I've also installed or tried to
install the VPN 5K client, the VPN 1.1 client and whatever else Cisco has,
just to see what they look like.  My machine has never once crashed.

RE: VPN 5001 concentrator

2001-03-29 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

I actually have a similar problem.  I connect to a PIX firewall which is the
VPN server, from home.  If I connect through Mindspring or other ISP, I have
no problems connecting and authenticating against the PIX.
If I dial in to a RAS server which has Internet connectivity via a DSL
router (which is doing NAT for about 60 users), I can connect to the PIX,
but I can't successfully authenticate.  My guess is that something is lost
in the translation from local to global IP address.
I know this doesn't help but I'm just throwing this out there also.

Here's the problem:

2 clients,both sharing a DSL line. both use VPN client for 5001

When one is connected it is fine and if you add another connection off the

dropping. Any ideas ?

Hello Group,
I'm looking at a particularly irritating problem and I can't quite
figure
out what's wrong.  We have 2 Cat6509s which are suppposed to be
configured
for IP telephony.  I've added a number of VLANs, implemented HSRP on
the
MSFCs etc.  My problem is, I have a DHCP server on VLAN 4 which
cannot be
seen by a host which is on another VLAN.  I tried using the ip
helper-address command but was unsuccessful.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I've included the new config below with the IP Helper address
command.  I've
tried with and without the helper address commands but neither seem
to work.
- From the Cat6509 SC0 int I can ping the DHCP IP server address
without any
problem.  From the MSFC I can ping the DHCP server IP address without
any
problem.  From the DHCP server I can ping any VLAN interface on the
MSFC as
well as a couple of 3500s that I've connected to the 6509s.

Core_Even (enable) sh conf
This command shows non-default configurations only.
Use 'show config all' to show both default and non-default
configurations.

RE: Catalyst 6509 and DHCP [7:408]

2001-04-16 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Fix for the problem reported last week with being unable to get an IP
address from a DHCP server in another VLAN turned out to be an IOS upgrade.
Apparently any IOS release prior to 12.1.3x has a problem with creating the
proper MLS entries necessary to support a DHCP server in a VLAN different
from the client.
A "debug ip dhcp server packet" on the MSFC showed that it was unable to
find a route to the specified DHCP server when the old IOS version was used.
Now the proper entries are created.

Thanks for all the help.

pls provide capture.

off the wall advise: use set port host on the ports for servers and clients,
clear cam, restart dhcp server and see. it worked for me a while back.

RE: Catalyst 6509 and DHCP [7:408]

2001-04-16 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Actually the bug ID is CSCds89040 and it's related to HSRP configs and IOS
12.1(4)E and not specifically related DHCP servers as I incorrectly stated
earlier.

See below excerpt from CCO.


MLS Flows Not Being Created For Devices Using HSRP Standby IP Address As
Default Gateway---

When using 12.1(4)E on Sup1/MSFC1, Sup2/MSFC2, or Sup1/MSFC2 while HSRP is
enabled, MLS switching may fail. The symptoms are different for each
combination:


For Sup1/MSFC1 and Sup1/MSFC2, which use Netflow-MLS, you may see that the
MLS shortcuts are not being created when traffic is sent to a HSRP MAC
address. Any client using the HSRP standby IP address as the default gateway
will use HSRP MAC address.

For Sup2/MSFC2, which uses Cisco Express Forwarding-MLS (CEF-MLS), you may
see that the CEF adjacency table is not being populated correctly on the
switch.
The bug ID for this caveat is CSCds89040, and the fix available is with
12.1(5a)E for the Hybrid (c6msfc) images, and 12.1(5a)E1 for the Native
(c6sup) images.

Subject: HSRP? problem [7:811]


I just added a VLAN to my Cat6509s. The interfaces for the vlan are
configured on both MSFCs in both of my 6509s. We are using HSRP. both
interfaces show up/up the VLAN shows active in the VTP server(a) and
client(b) 6509. I set the standby priority on the vlan int config on the
MSFC to 100 on 6509a and 95 on 6509b. The ip addresses are configured
correctly on both (x.x.7.0/24 range 6509a int x.x.7.1 255.255.255.0 6509b
int x.x.7.2 255.255.255.0) the standby ip address is pingable from both
switches. When I "no shut" the ints on the MSFCs 6509a comes up normally and
shows state change to active and is pingable, 6509B shows state change to
active then a few minutes later to standby and the ip address is not
pingable even though the interface shows up/up. If I shutdown 6509a VLAN
int, x.x.7.2 is pingable and the state change is to active until a is
brought back up. I am sure I am missing something but apparently I can't see
it. Any ideas?

RE: Upgrade Catalyst 6509 MSFC problem [7:949]

2001-04-17 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Upgrading a Catalyst 6509 is actually pretty much the same as upgrading a
lower end router like a 2600 with a couple of variations.

Use below commands at your own risk.

Start up your TFTP server and make sure you can ping it from the MSFC
prompt.  Be sure your image is located in the appropriate TFTP directory.
Use the "dir" command to see the images in flash and how much space you have
on your flash.
Use the "copy flash tftp" command to copy backups of your images in flash in
case you need to recover.
Use the "copy run flash" command to get a backup of your config.
Use the "delete bootflash:" command to delete the IOS image file
from flash.
Don't delete the image with "boot" in the filename because that image is
used to load a minimal version of the IOS software in the event that the
normal IOS can't be loaded.
Use the "squeeze bootflash:" command to permanently delete the file from
flash.

Example:

MSFC#dir
Directory of bootflash:/

1  -rw- 1644336   Jan 01 2000 01:41:17  c6msfc-boot-mz.121-2.E.bin
3  -rw-11602828   Jan 01 2000 00:11:57  c6msfc-jsv-mz.121-6.E1

15990784 bytes total (2521184 bytes free)
MSFC#delete bootflash: ?
  

MSFC#delete bootflash:c6msfc-jsv-mz.121-6.E1
Delete filename [c6msfc-jsv-mz.121-6.E1]? y
Delete bootflash:n? [confirm]y

Use "copy tftp flash" command to copy your new image over to the flash.
Use the command "boot system flash bootflash:" to tell the
MSFC which image to load.
Issue a "dir" and "show run" and make sure that your image names match.
Make sure that you have a command similar to below in your "show run" output
to boot your restricted IOS in case something happens.

boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc-boot-mz.121-2.E.bin

Save your config.
Reset the MSFC and cross your fingers.

Take your time and make sure that you can go back to your previous config if
the upgrade doesn't work.

Oh, and if you happen to mess up, read the link below.

Use "copy tftp flash" command to copy your new image over to the flash.
Use the command "boot system flash bootflash:" to tell the
MSFC which image to load.
Issue a "dir" and "show run" and make sure that your image names match.
Make sure that you have a command similar to below in your "show run" output
to boot your restricted IOS in case something happens.

boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc-boot-mz.121-2.E.bin

RE: Locate IP Address on Internet [7:3611]

2001-05-08 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

I realize this may not be exactly what you're looking for but it's a step in
the right direction.
At least you may be able to find out some details about this person.

http://www.itp-journals.com/sasample/T1304.pdf

Depending on which mail server software you use, you could probably
configure it to reject all messages from that person.  Of course, nothing
will stop them from creating another account and restarting the entire
process.  I'm not sure that even reporting the abuse to Hotmail will stop
them, since all they have to do is create a new account with a different
name.
How about configuring your mail server software to accept all messages from
that person and then dump them in a temp mailbox for review or trash?
Eventually they'll just give up if they don't get any responses back from
their efforts.  I could be wrong though.  You don't need me to tell you that
there are really twisted and determined "people" out there.

Re: PIX Software V6.0 [7:5969]

2001-05-26 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Whoever you spoke to at TAC was misinformed.  I'm using the free 56bit DES
key on our PIX and I can authenticate using the VPN 3.0 client.  You sure
don't need any 3DES key.
And in response to an earlier question posed regarding Diffie-Hellman Group
2 usage.  I originally had the isakmp policy using Group 1 but the VPN 3.0
client bombed out on attempting to authenticate.  As soon as I changed the
statement on the PIX to group 2, voila!, it worked right away.  I guess the
VPN3.0 client is using group 2 by default so the PIX must also use group 2.
I can't find any settings where you can change to group 1 on the VPN client
software.

elementary? [7:6359]

2001-05-29 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Forgive me if this sounds a little bit basic but this is what happens when
you
rush into things without understanding the fundamentals.
Suppose a 24 port 100Mbit switch called A is uplinked to another 24 port
100Mb
switch called B via a 1Gb connnection.
Suppose hosts D through N are on switch A and hosts M through X are on Switch
B.
Would conversations between the hosts from Switch A to Switch B occur one at
a
time or are multiple conversations multiplexed over the 1Gb uplink?

I'm just trying to find out if and how that 1Gb uplink is used up.  Thanks in
advance.
I'd put TIA but I hate those little acronyms.  No flames please.

RE: elementary? [7:6359]

2001-05-30 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Thanks everyone for their replies.  As I now understand it, the 1Gb
uplink just moves data faster than... say, a 100Mb uplink.  Correct?
Conversations between hosts on each switch still take place one at a
time, thereby obeying Ethernet rules of one station transmitting at a
time.  Correct?
Okay my next question. Is there any point at which this 1Gb uplink can
become saturated, since it's only handling station to station sessions-
one at a time.
If a number of stations on each switch were doing large file transfers
to each other via the uplink, would there be some point at which the
uplink would be maxed out- in terms of bandwidth?  Or is the only
limiting factor, the workstations inability to pump data out fast enough
to max out the uplink when they're only running 100Mb?

I'm thinking that it's really not possible to max out a 1Gb uplink when
stations are only running 100Mb.  If this is correct then I lay this
question to rest.

Thanks.

RE: elementary? [7:6359]

2001-05-30 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

It's interesting to see how things that we take for granted (ie. A
switch allows for multiple conversations while a hub can't) turn out to
be so complicated when you try to understand what's taking place "behind
the scenes". To sum up what has been uncovered thus far (and maybe put
an end to this thread)-

The issue in question was whether/how a 1 gig uplink can be filled by
100 meg attached stations on two switches.

I think that since the uplink is serial by nature (but full duplex) only
packets from one station can be sent and at the same point in time only
packets from one station can be received.  The packets sent and received
may or may not be from the same station. Essentially, as Chuck said only
one packet is on the wire per direction at any given time.  The switch
will buffer all packets and treat each session between any two stations
individually.  Multiple data streams between different stations in the
same direction cannot exist at the same point in time on the wire.
(think of a twisted pair cable which has 4 pairs encased in the same
sheath /pipe).  Data from multiple stations (represented by the
pairs)cannot travel over the uplink (represented by the sheath) at the
same time, resulting in 4 concurrent flows. Instead, one conversation
occurs per direction at any point in time.
Now about filling up that 1 gig link even though only two conversations
can exist on the wire at any given time-
I guess that the switch can switch between conversations fast enough and
send packets over the uplink at a much greater rate than what any
attached client can send.  Put enough busy clients together sending
requests out the uplink and I can see how that 1gig uplink could become
saturated.  The switch just increases the rate at which packets are sent
out of the Gb uplink.
Does this make sense?

I concur. I should have been a bit more clear in that I was addressing
the issue of a gig link between two switches.

For traffic that remains within a single switch, different things can be
done with the switch fabric, thus increasing the number of packets
handled.

But a single gig link between two switches, operating at full duplex,
can have only one packet per direct on the "wire" at one time.

Also, I still think that on any link between any end station and the
switch port, the transmitting end station still waits until it senses
nothing on the wire fore putting the next packet out that interface. The
end station, after all, does not know to what it is connected. Rules of
the game. Listen. If wire is empty, place packet onto wire, listen, if
wire is busy, wait. Perhaps some of the newer layer two drivers do
things a bit differently if they detect full duplex? I'm not so sure,
but then I'm just an old dog.

I think everybody might be right here but arguing about different parts
of the process, or confusing the meaning of the previous post , so just
to add more confusion: Peter said that all every station could send as
much as they want, which I think he was referring to their own ethernet
segment/(switch port). On the Gig link, buffering will obviously have to
take place. Statistical multiplexing seems a good summary of what's
happening. I'm not sure exactly what you were saying in the last post
Alan, about the buffering. Full duplex operation will allow another
station to send to you while you are sending to it, so no buffering
required in that case.

As usual, open (prone) to correction,

We did everything you described below .. We sniffered the network, we

But what the cause is that the client doesn't get a reply .. We couldn't
find out. We also tried to release the client's ip address by ipconfig
/release etc. etc. This also didn't work, I had to delete the client in
the DHCP scope of NetID (where I found that client with his old ip
address and sometimes had to remove it several times) to let the client
get a new ip address by releasing his old ip address.

We used the NetID server for DHCP, even changed to a WinNT server to do
DHCP, but the problem still remains.

The thing we have configured in the router is only an ip-helper address
on each VLAN interface. What about the ip dhcp-server command ... Do you
have to configure that one to ?

Try using DHCPLOC to monitor DHCP requests/replies traffic. This will
give you an indication as to why clients can not lease IP addresses.

I believe the reason why clients that move from one VLAN to another keep
getting the same IP address is because they are trying to renew the
existing IP address. Those clients need to release their IP addresses
before attempting to obtain a new one: IPCONFIG /RELEASE; IPCONFIG
/RENEW

RE: MS exhcnage Security over PIX [7:7046]

2001-06-04 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

There's a way to prevent relaying on Exchange 5.5 and it's posted on MS
Technet.  The link is
http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/exchange/relay.asp and it has nothing
to do with the Pix.  If you're allowing traffic from the Internet to
your Exchg server, then you should only permit access to the ports
required for mail traffic.  I think the "fixup protocol smtp" could help
in preventing certain attacks by only allowing specific commands to be
sent to your mail server but you still need to limit access to the
server.

Ahh, don't we all get those wonderfully exorbitant design requirements

implement the base network with no redundancy?  Management always expect
the network and design guys to come up with some "hoodoo" design for a

RE: Transparent Bridging ? [7:7126]

2001-06-04 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Indeed.  Bridging using two 2500s as mentioned makes the routers operate
strictly at layer 2.  They will not forward packets of any kind using
layer 3 methodology.  In effect, they will not use any layer 3
forwarding mechanism so you cannot point a PC's def. gtwy to their local
interface.  Your PC will operate just fine without any gateway if all
you need to do is establish connectivity to the other PC across the
bridge.  Both PCs should be in the same network of course.  If they
aren't then you know that you need to route and not bridge.

Subject: Transparent Bridging ? [7:7126]

Hi Group,
I vill say ziss only vonce.

Okay, its my second attempt at trying to work out how I can bridge IP
across to 2500's.

I have 2 2500's configured with "no ip routing". 2 PC's are connected at
either end, i.e one to bridge 1 and one to bridge 2. I have a sniffer on
both PC's. I am attempting to ping from one PC to the other. IEEE
spanning tree is applied on both bridges. The bridges are connected via
a serial cable and the serial ports of the bridges as well as the
Ethernet ports are in bridge group 1.

I have verified spanning tree operation and one of the serial ports has
been elected root port on bridge 1, the other bridge is the designated
bridge. Ref : Radia Perlman, Interconnections p.83. So far so good.

I have configured the PC's with a default gateway to the IP address of
each of the bridges. When I attempt to ping from one PC to the other, I
can see from my Sniffer trace that the PC ARP's for the MAC Address of
the bridge, this ARP is successful and the PC then sends out an ICMP
echo request. This echo request appears to be my problem since the
destination MAC address of this packet contains the Ethernet Mac address
of the local bridge and the local bridge consequently disregards the
packet. Should the PC have an ARP entry installed for the destination IP
address that I am pinging ?

Has anyone achieved this scenario ? or am I way off mark with my
thinking here.

The reason I set this LAB up was because so many questions appear to be
being asked at CCIE written level akin to this setup i.e can PC 1 ping
PC 2 in similar arrangement using (RSRB/DLSW+/SRB etc)

Any comments welcome.

Regards,

Phil.

RE: BGP for 2 T1's to one LAN [7:7511]

2001-06-07 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

I believe what you're looking for is a way to load balance traffic to
your web servers.  You also wish to achieve a degree of fault tolerance
in case one server goes down.  If both servers have the same content and
the content is static, you could use a feature called DNS round-robin
which basically returns a list of IP addresses to a querying client for
any single hostname.  If one server becomes unavailable the client can
use the other IP addresses given by the DNS server to access the same
site.  There's no routing protocol involved here and I don't think it's
possible to do what you need using a routing protocol.  The good thing
about DNS round-robin is that the IP addresses of the web servers could
be totally unrelated.
This seems to be more of an application specific need for fault
tolerance.  If this is possible using a routing protocol I'd be happy if
someone pointed out the error of my ways.  I'm always open to
suggestions.

We are trying to have the web servers in our LAN accessible to the
internet via 2 T1's from different providers -- more for redundancy than

load sharing, though that matters too.  Currently we have 2 T1's, each
giving us a different set of IP addresses.  That just lets us put some
sites on each T1 -- doesn't give us an ounce of redundancy.

I've been told that if we get a router with 2 WIC's that can speak BGP
(Cisco 2600 or better) that may solve our problem.  I'm very new to
routing, so can someone answer some basic questions?

Is the idea with this solution that we will be running just one set of
IP addresses?  And that, because of BGP on our router, either ISP will
be able to route traffic to that set of IPs on the T1 it provides?

Thanks in advance.

RE: BGP for 2 T1's to one LAN [7:7511]

2001-06-07 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Since you're running an e-commerce site then users probably establish
sessions which are dynamic in nature, passwords, logins etc.  If you
need failover capabilities you need to consider that if a failover did
occur, you'd want active, open sessions statefully failed over to the
backup server.  I'd be pretty pissed if I was in the midst of a high
dollar transaction and my session died on me.  Things could get pretty
complicated there.  The only way I know of achieving that sort of
capability is by doing clustering.  Since your application is already
installed and running, then a cluster solution is more difficult to
engineer.  Anyway this is way out of my league.  
I respectfully bow my way out of this thread to make way for someone
more versed in this arena. :-)

The quick responses on this group are great!  Thanks for the help so
far.

The content is not static.  The sites in question run e-commerce.  We
could look at setting up access from both servers to the same DB server
over an internal network ... so that would answer that objection to the
solution you offered.

I started by asking questions on a different group about round-robin
DNS. 
What I was
told was that since we don't control anyone else's DNS caching settings
(our TTL entries etc. are really only suggestions) that when one T1 goes
down & we change the DNS settings to point to only the other line
clients & other DNS servers would still try to access the downed T1.  Is
this accurate as far as you know?  If round robin DNS will provide
fault-tolerance, that's great.  If not ... we need to look elsewhere.

Thanks!

Thanks but not quite.  I was just wondering about the actual placement
of the Internet router.  Is it in it's own VLAN or is it part of another
VLAN with hosts, servers etc.  In terms of security, wouldn't best
practice dictate that a router that is directly connected to the
Internet, be segregated in its own VLAN?  Am I right or wrong?  I know
how to make it work either way, but I'd just like to get an idea of what
the better ways are of separating Internet bound traffic from LAN based

Vijay,

All you need is a default gateway on the router that points to the
internet. 

When an Internet destined packet from a workstation on a VLAN hits the
switch it gets dumped off on the router or MSFC since it doesn't have a
destination MAC address of a device on that VLAN. The router takes a
look at the IP and sees if it has a route. If it doesn't recognize the
destination network then it dumps it out the default gateway. Any return
traffic will have a destination IP and MAC address that the router and
switch will recognize.

Hope this helps.

I just finished it yesterday.  Out of all the tests I think CLSC was the 
most poorly written, but CIT comes in a close second.

The questions are very vague, and you often have to guess what they are 
looking for.  They aren't extremely hard though, and if you are familiar 
with the topics you should be able to work it out.

There are some fill in the blank questions for commands, and I even had one 
of those "move the boxes to the correct place" type questions.

Don't stress too much over the packet trace questions.  You do need to have 
a general idea of what a packet trace output looks like, and what does what.

  But, they decode the packet for you, so as long as you can understand what

the decode written out to the side means you'll be ok.  You don't have to 
memorize which hex means what in a packet.

There was more appletalk on this test then any I've had before, but even 
still that was only a few questions.

I'm not sure if this test is adaptive or not, but they sure beat the crap 
out of me with ISDN questions.  Make sure you know the 
show/debug/troubleshooting stuff for ISDN.

There were a fair number of Cisco web-site questions.  Know the URL, the 
basic areas (marketplace, software center, etc) and a basic idea of what is 
in each

There were a few questions on troubleshooting tools, but they were fairly 
basic as long as you have an idea of what the common tools are and what they

are used for.

hope that helps,

Subject: CBT Training Options (CCNP)


I've been battling it out with a local company here in San Diego to begin
night classes geared towards CCNP.  But thus far they're sticking to their
day only schedule.  They've instituted that e-learning program but still, if
you can't get the time off to go to their site, you also can't get the time
to sit at work and do it.

This leads me to ask if anyone knows about good CBT training that covers the
tests for CCNP?

RE: DHCP Over Wan Link

2000-08-04 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

No you haven't been doing that thing with the fumes.  On Windows NT Server's
DHCP Manager I know that you can use a NetBIOS scope ID to assign IP
addresses to different subnets/networks.  I don't know much about other DHCP
management software.  Maybe someone else can point you in the right
direction.

Ladies and Gents,


This would be the first time trying to set this up,  I have a remote
office with a frame-erlay link between them and the corporate site. The dhcp
server is at the corporate site, I would like to it up that the users at the
remote site uses a certain dhcp pool on that server.  I have heard you can
set it up so that a certain address pool will only assign address when the
request comes through a certain router(i.e. the remote router). Does this
make any sense or have I been inhaling too many paint fumes again?  Any help
would be great, thanks.

RE: hexdecimal has got me stumped

2000-08-10 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

The easiest way that I know of to convert hex to decimal and vice versa is
by converting both to binary first.
With hex, every 4 bits of binary is equal to 1 number or letter in hex.  And
of course, converting from decimal to binary is a piece of cake.  So using
the table below shouldn't pose a problem.

Decimal Binary  Hexadecimal

0   0
1   00011
2   00102
3   00113
4   01004
5   01015
6   01106
7   01117
8   10008
9   10019
10  1010A
11  1011B
12  1100C
13  1101D
14  1110E
15  F

Now for an example.  Convert 172.16.1.1 to Hexadecimal.
In binary that looks like
10101100 0001 0001 0001 

Now if every 4 bits of binary = 1 Hex character then the IP address above in
hex would be

AC100101

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

RE: accesslists outbounds?

2000-08-23 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

There is another advantage to placing access lists outbound.  Traffic won't
have to travel across the network only to be dropped on the other side.
Less bandwidth consumption across your WAN.  That's why it is recommended
that access lists be placed as close as possible to the traffic source.  My
2 cents.

Subject: Re: accesslists outbounds?


they say that outbound access lists are less processor intensive because the
router has only to process those packets destined for the destination you
are trying to affect. When you apply it inbound then the router has to match
each packet coming into that interface even though that packet might not be
relevant to the access list. The scenario presented is just a simple one and
in this case it does not matter where you place the access list but think of
two more serial interfaces in addition to S3. if you apply the access list
inbound then packets destined for S4 and S5 will also have to be processed
through the list even though they have nothing to do with the S3 interface.

So the conclusion is that "Outbound access lists are IN GENERAL less
processor intensive than in bound access lists" ... remember IN GENERAL ...
there can be exceptions

RE: Reverse telnet definition

How about this?  A regular telnet session is initiated by a client to a
host.  A reverse telnet session is initiated by the host to a client.  The
host in this case would be the router calling a modem that's connected to an
async interface.  That's how I look at it anyway.  Anyone care to comment?

RE: CCDA Study Materials

2000-08-29 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

I haven't read that book but I can recommend the CCDA Study Guide from Cisco
Press.  I used that to pass the exam a couple of weeks ago.  Someone
mentioned that they had 4 case studies- if I remember correctly I had 5!
The Study Guide has quite a few case studies- but I didn't go through any of
them and I didn't answer any of the questions at the end of the chapter.
Seriously though, the exam is not that difficult if you have a firm grasp of
the basic issues of networking- Congestion, applications (Web servers, email
servers, NT servers etc.), bandwidth requirements, network topologies,
cabling, etc.  I found the material in the Study Guide more than adequate
for the exam.  Hope this helps.  Oh and by the way, if you ever get down to
studying for the CID exam don't buy the Cisco Internetwork Design guide from
Cisco Press.  I used it to study for the CID exam and was unpleasantly
surprised to find way different material on the exam.  Surprise, surprise- I
failed the exam by a measly few points.  Good luck to you.

Many of them have a USB port. But does Cisco use USB for its console ports

What do you all use for your PC console for a Cisco router or switch?

Once the router or switch is configured, of course I'll use Telnet to an

RE: How far by self study?

2000-06-27 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

I'm going to disagree with you on your last point.  CCNP and CCDP are
absolutely attainable through self study and no lab.Around Feb of this
year I started on the CCNP track and I've gotten through 3 of the 4 exams
needed for CCNP, all I have left is Support (which I plan on taking when
Barnes & Noble decides to send my Study Guide).  No, I don't have a lab.
No, I've never configured a Cisco router out of the box and I don't really
work with them everyday or anyday for that matter.  I'm no genius either.
Before last December, I hardly knew of the IOS and I damn sure didn't know
what OSPF was.  A lot of reading and study time really pays off.

I do have access to a couple of 2610s that I can use for show commands on
the standard IP feature pack but that's about it.
Do you need experience to pass the exams? No.  It would help a lot I can
tell you, but it's not necessary.
Now, should one consider oneself a highly skilled CCNP just by merely
passing the exams?  Heck no!  There's no way of beating actual hands on
experience with equipment and that's what would qualify you as possessing
the skills of a CCNP.  Until I get my hands-on, I'm not going to consider
myself a "professional" even though the cert says I am.  It sure feels good
though, to get the cert out of the way so I can focus on getting real
experience and then move on to CCIE.
HAPPY STUDYING!!!

Subject: Re: How far by self study?


I have my CCNP and I never attended any Cisco or related training.  I bought
Cisco Press books and other related books and since I work with the products
full time it helped quite a bit.  If your going to do self study for your
certification, make sure you have a lab readily available to you.  CCNA was
passable without actually using a router/switch, but CCNP requires
experience

Hope that helps

RE: Access Lists

2000-07-05 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Why don't you just use one access list on the 192.168.x.x network router to
deny it from seeing any traffic from the 10 network?

eg.
#access-list 101 deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
#access-list 101 permit any any

Apply this outbound to the 192.168.x.x interface and you should be set.
This will allow traffic from the 10 netwk to get to the 192.168 netwk but
will deny 192.168 from getting to 10.

Hello All,

I've configured a 2611 for routing in between two different LAN's. One is a
10.0.0.0 and the other is 192.168.0.0. I have configured access lists for
this. I want the 10.0.0.0 network to see the 192.168.0.0 network. I don't
want the 192.168.0.0 network to see the 10.0.0.0 network. I have been
playing with it but can't get it to work. Either it will block both sides or
open both.

Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

RE: Questions on CCNP exams

2000-07-11 Thread Vijay Ramcharan

Well, it's like this.  The CCNP certification has 2 versions. Version 1 is
basically made up of the old exams, namely ACRC, CLSC, CMTD and CIT.
Version 2 is made up of BSCN, BCRAN, BCMSN and Support.  All of the old
exams will be retired on July 31 of this year.  You may write any exam from
the old track and continue with the rest of the exams from the new track to
finish your CCNP.  If you write any exam from the old track you will be
considered as having been certified under CCNP version 1.  What does this
mean?  A post about a month ago said that Cisco doesn't consider either
version better than the other.  You'll still have to recertify after a
certain period, no matter if you're version 1 or 2.  Just like the MCSE
certification where you have to recertify after 2 years.  What is the
recertification procedure for CCNP?  I don't know but I'm checking CCO right
now...
Cisco has no info on recertification.  They said that you should check at a
later date.  Good luck on your CCNP studies and exams.

Subject: Questions on CCNP exams


I was enrolled in the cisco networking academy for 2 years at my highschool
and have just graduated this year.  While in the academy I was using a CCNA
practice exam program that ciscopress put out.  While using this program I
noticed many errors, you know wrong questions/answers.  I sent and email to
ciscopress notifying them of this problem, and they responed by asking me to
do a review of the 850 questions and let them know which ones were bad, and
in return they said that they would pay me.  I wrote them back saying that I
would gladly do the review and as far as payment went all I wanted was some
free books.  The executive editor of ciscopress wrote back saying just send
me a list of the books you want and you'll have them. I sent a list that
consisted of 9 books and sure enough, once I completed the review, he sent
me the books as well as a check (the check was much unexpected and much
appreciated!!!).
Now begins the questions.  I've read that the CCNP exams' format has
been changed and new material will be covered in order to reach the level of
CCNP.  I was wondering if the books that I got: which are the CCNP
preperation library, BCMSN, ACRC (Laura Chappell), as well as DCN (for the
CCDA), CCDA, and the CID book: will these books be "outdated" due to the
change?  And if so, what will I need to supplement this change in the exams?
Basically what I'm asking is , where can I get the knowlege need to pass the
exams?
I've been reading the posts on this news group for a 2 days now and it
seems to me that this place is awesome!!!  Everyone here is soo helpful and
knowlegable of cisco equipment.  Ohhh, and by the way I just passed the CCNA
exam on July 8th, I only whish I would have found this group before I did.
I found it the night before the test and spent hours reading the posts.
Well this is getting rather lengthy so I'll be stopping now.  Any
information be helpful.

Thank you,

Bob

RE: CCIE Written preparation [7:69384]

2003-05-30 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
I took the CCIE Written yesterday just to see how difficult it was. 
It is the most difficult exam that I've ever seen except maybe for the
MCSE 2000 Accelerated.  
I would advise anyone planning to take this exam not to take it lightly.

It is difficult, much more difficult than the old one.  
I've taken and passed both the CCNP and CCDP recertification exams
recently and they are easy compared to this.  Don't waste your $300 if
you don't know ALL the topics listed in the blueprint.  I saw questions
in the exam from every topic listed in the blueprint.  
I congratulate the exam designers/writers for making it this difficult.
You really have to know a lot and be able to understand the topics in
depth in order to pass.

RE: Need simple network management tool [7:72132]

2003-07-11 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
Since I'm sure that quite a few people could use something like this,
I've created a fairly simple VBScript that will ping a list of hosts
specified in a text file and send an email with hosts which are not
responding. 

The script should work on any Windows 2000 or XP system. 
You'll need to be logged in as an administrator since the ping
implementation uses raw sockets. 
You'll need to download and register the following components. 

http://www.ostrosoft.com/smtp_component.asp 
Download the zip and extract the SMTP.OCX file to your Windows System32
directory 
Run the following command: 
Regsvr32 %systemroot%System32SMTP.ocx 

http://www.netal.com/download.htm#SSR
Download the zip and extract the SSCrRun.dll file to your Windows
System32 directory. 
Run the following command: 
Regsvr32 %systemroot%System32SSCrRun.dll 

Create a text file called C:PingHosts.txt 
In PingHosts.txt, add the following lines exactly as they appear and
fill in the appropriate information within the brackets []: 
SMTPServer: [SMTP_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS] 
SENDER Email: [SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS] 
RECIPIENTS: [EMAIL_ADDRESS_OF_RECIPIENT, SEPARATE WITH COMMAS IF > 1]
Host: [IP_ADDRESS_OF_HOST] 
Host: [IP_ADDRESS_OF_HOST] 
Host: [IP_ADDRESS_OF_HOST] 
Etc... 

Download the script and sample text file via FTP from: 
66.192.203.23
Directory: Netscripts
User, Pass: netscript

Run the script by launching a command prompt and running the command: 
Cscript C:PingHosts.vbs 

You should see the output from a ping to each host echoed onscreen.  
Any non-responsive host will be sent in an email to the list of email
addresses specified for RECIPIENTS in C:PingHosts.txt 
 
You'll need an SMTP server which does not require authentication. Add as
many hosts as you need and you can schedule the script to run using Task
Scheduler or run it manually, whatever...

RE: SPAM Filtering [7:72265]

2003-07-14 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
I've spent quite a bit of time implementing a spam filtering solution on
Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000 in our company.
I now have a filter that's about 98% accurate and extremely easy to manage. 
In fact, I don't touch the spam filter for management purposes at all.  Just
check it every once in a couple of days to make sure everything's working
okay.
I use Vircom's Anti-Spam Gate for trapping spam on Windows 2000 and 3
VBScripts I developed myself for allowing users to release their own
messages whenever and however many times they want.  It's been working
flawlessly for a number of months now and I've had very few complaints about
false positives.
 
It is possible to use an entirely free VBScript based spam filter using
Windows 2000 SMTP "OnArrival" event but it would require an extensive bit of
scripting to get it off the ground. One good aspect of Vircom is that their
software and service is quite reasonable and the spam filter database is
automatically updated every couple of days.

RE: Slightly OT: Corrupted Emails on POP Server [7:72397]

2003-07-16 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
I once had a similar problem that was being caused by version 3.0x of
Symantec's Antivirus/Filtering software which ran on Exchange. Our
Windows users had no problems receiving mail but our Mac users ran into
a problem where a message that was flagged as spam and had its body
replaced was incorrectly being terminated.

The user would get all messages up to the offending one but couldn't get
past it. The only solution at the time was to delete the offending
message using Outlook Web Access or log in using MAPI on a PC. Symantec
has since corrected the problem. 

--- Excerpt from Symantec's Knowledge Base 
POP3 session hangs while retrieving mail
Symptom: A POP3 mail client (for example, Outlook Express) stops
responding while retrieving one or more messages that were modified by
Symantec AntiVirus/Filtering for Microsoft Exchange with a text
substitution. This problem only affects single-part MIME messages
formatted as HTML or RTF. Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express cannot
send messages in this format, so the problem is only seen in mail sent
with other mail clients.
Solution: POP3 messages must end with a period (.) on a new line. When
Symantec AntiVirus/Filtering for Microsoft Exchange replaces an
attachment or message body, it appends a carriage return (CR) to the
substituted text. However, if the source format of the message was HTML
or RTF, Symantec AntiVirus/Filtering for Microsoft Exchange was
converting the CR to  for HTML or /par for RTF. This caused the
message to hang when retrieved with a POP3 mail client, because the
final period (.) was no longer on a new line. The code was fixed to add
the CR after the message is converted to HTML or RTF. This ensures that
the final period (.) is on a new line.

I ran into this problem a couple of days ago and I'm interested if
anyone else has experienced something similar. I opened up my email
client at home the other day and noticed that it was continually
downloading the same messages over and over again. It would get to the
same message each time and the POP server would stop responding and
those messages were not removed from the server. So, several minutes
later the cycle would repeat.

I called Comcast tech support and they said that I must have a corrupted
email on the server. The solution was to login with the web-based mail
utility and delete the offending message. I never did figure out which
message was the culprit so I deleted all of them. This has resolved the
problem but I can't figure out what would have caused the problem to
begin with.

What sort of 'corruption' could occur to an email that would cause this
sort of behavior?

Thanks,

RE: CCIE Lab Setup [7:73612]

2003-08-08 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
Not exactly related to this but...
Are there any drawbacks to using (2) 2610s for a lab instead of a 2600
and a 3640 router?

Doesnt the vConsole ISDN simulator able to use SPIDs?  Even though it is
525 dollars... I thought it did use spids.  When you state to use a
"backbone" router... what do you mean?

RE: 2x2610 vs 2600 + 3640: WAS Re: CCIE Lab Setup [7:73612]

2003-08-14 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
On this same thread...
What are the recommendations for ATM lab hardware? 
Can ATM be practiced with ATM ports connected back-to-back or is it
necessary to get an ATM switch also? 
Thanks.

JMHO, what you should be looking for is sufficient ports to run complex
practice scenarios and routers capable of running the IOS version that
is current in the Lab. \specific models may or may not be of importance.

( as an aside, I laugh my ass off every time I read a post from someone
expressing worry about the announced changes in IOS and addition of a
3725 to the Lab. At least when the 3550 switch was introduced there was
reason for some apprehension, ans nono of the rental racks had a 3550 in
them ). after all, a router is a router, and the routing protocol
commands will work exactly the same on a 25xx, 26xx, 36xx, etc.

I'm currently focusing on 12.2.something.Tsomething 12.2.15(T5) maybe
-everything is off at the moment.

I don't know about the 2610, but the 2611 is capable of running dot1q
and ISL trunks, plus if you use the enterprise basic image you can do
IS-IS, BGP, and MPLS.

RE: how does firewall & switch port block Blaster virus? [7:74102]

2003-08-18 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
The Blaster worm exploits a vulnerability in the DCOM RPC component in
Windows.  RPC is used for accepting requests from remote computers.
RPC/DCOM listens on TCP 135 and other ports.  Successfully compromising
an unpatched Windows box requires that TCP 135 or other ports be
accessible. I've seen  RPC ports other than 135 being probed, eg.
TCP/UDP 593. In a default PIX configuration, any unrequested incoming
traffic is denied by default.  If you've mapped a global address to an
unpatched/unprotected box and have allowed TCP 135 into it then that box
is vulnerable from the Internet. 

On the LAN any unpatched Windows box is vulnerable if a mobile user
plugs an infected machine into the network. 

To mitigate chances of infection you could use updated AV software or
the ICF if you're using XP or if you're using Windows 2000 you can use
TCP/IP filtering.  See

Subject: how does firewall & switch port block Blaster virus? [7:74092]


Hi..  My friends told me other than the microsoft patches can prevent 
Blaster virus , a firewall and  blocking switch ports can block the
virus 
too.  Is there any configuration need to be added in my PIX and Cisco
switch 
ports in order to block them? If yes, is there any example??  But I
don't 
understand the concept, can you explain to me the concept? How can a 
firewall and switch port block Virus???   For example, my PIX disallow
every 
incoming traffic except the ping reply, doesn't it mean it block the
virus 
too??

RE: OT Gibberish in email [7:74740]

2003-09-03 Thread Vijay Ramcharan
It's an effort by the spammer to change the signature (checksum) of the
spam email by inserting random characters.  It gets around spam filters
which use a signature/checksum technique. I believe the open source
Vipul's Razor uses signatures.
