RE: Sanity Check - Redistributing BGP into an IGP [7:66018]

2003-03-23 Thread Willy Schoots
Hi Chuck,

I don't know what scenario you are working on, so its hard to give a
specific answer.

It might be that you ran into the issue that by default I-BGP learned
routes are NOT redistributed unless you use the command below. (E-BGP
routes are redistributed without it !!)

bgp redistribute-internal

To allow the redistribution of internal Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP)
routes into an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) such as Intermediate
System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) or Open Shortest Path First
(OSPF), use the bgp redistribute-internal command in address family
configuration mode. To restore the system to the default condition, use
the no form of this command.

bgp redistribute-internal 
no bgp redistribute-internal

But this also needed for EIGRP, so it might not apply to your scenario
as you say that it works with EIGRP.

Cheers,

Willy

I am unable to successfully redistribute BGP into OSPF, although it
works
just fine if I redistribute BGP into EIGRP, for example. The command
takes.
All the proper switches are there. But no route in OSPF or in the OSPF

Incidentally, the book solution to this lab is to manually place the
particular interface into the OSPF process with a network statement, in
addition to placing it manually into the BGP process with a network /

statement.

What am I missing that I can't seem to find on TAC?

RE: MPLS Vs EIGRP [7:54507]

2002-09-30 Thread Willy Schoots

Hi,

The question should be what you want to do with MPLS, so what is the
reason you want to implement MPLS in the first place.

- MPLS VPN's: EIGRP could be used
- Make core BGP free: EIGRP can be used
- MPLS Traffic Engineering: EIGRP can NOT be used, only OSPF/ISIS 

For the first 2 you could use EIGRP. The discussion then would be how
EIGRP compares to OSPF/ISIS in your network. Normal items like
scalability, stability etc are then your decision criteria. 
If MPLS VPNs are your main reason for using MPLS, you might want to look
at the supported routing protocols between the PE-CE. At this point,
afaik, EIGRP is not yet available. It is on the roadmap but not yet
available.

For MPLS Traffic engineering (TE) the only option is a link state
protocol. This is because they give complete visibility into (parts)
of the network. Both ISIS and OSPF have extensions that make them MPLS
TE capable.

Willy Schoots

RE: HSRP running states.... [7:14074]

2001-07-29 Thread Willy Schoots

Hi Mark,

There is actually an RFC about HSRP it is RFC2281:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2281.txt?number=2281

From this RFC, this might clear most of your confusion:

+   If the virtual IP address is configured, set state 3 (Listen) If
   the virtual IP address is not configured, set state 2 (Learn).

Look at the RFC for all the details.

Subject: HSRP running states [7:14074]


Howard, Priscilla, et al.-

I'm working on knocking out the BCMSN exam, and am re-covering HSRP -(which
I
have read many on this list to state that it probably won't hardly be on the
test, but I don't care)

Here's my delima I'm a logical thinker, and going over the 6 different
states of HSRP, I find myself asking WHY about a specific statement made in
all the study materials... the WHY is about the following.

Taken from Sybex Switching Study Guide, Pg 314, it explains the 6 states in
simple terms.  Specifically, it says  the router enters the Learn state
when
it has not heard from the Active router... this part I can accept, and it
makes since.  It continues to say  It does not know the active router
[which
still makes since, since it hasn't heard from it yet] and does not know the
IP
of the Virtual Router.  The second half of this last statement is what I
don't understand.

When configuring HSRP, you configure on the Interface (ex: FastEthernet 0/0)
[Standby] -- HSRP [1] -- HSRP Group assignment id, which is also optional
[IP 10.1.0.200] -- Virtual Router ip address.

If you specify the VR IP address, why on earth does the router NOT know the
VR
IP address in the Learn State.  Does it simply ignore this config parameter
when initializing HSRP and only reference it when it A) finds itself to be
the
first one to be Active router after already going through all the other
states, or B) When it finds itself to be next in line (because of priority)
when the Active router disappears for longer than the hello/holdtime
interval,
and it suddenly experiences amnesia and has to look at its own config to
go
'Oh yeah, Everybody, I'm now the active router for... uh... let see. oh,
right, virtual router 10.1.0.200... got it!'

I guess my logic failure is in that I don't see anything about when the VR
IP
Addr part of the config statement is referenced, if in fact the way the
whole
group gets together and decides on who's big man on campus is from hello
messages with elections being dependent upon Priority specs.

Reading the definition of the next state in the process eludes to the
understanding that it learns of both the active router's address and the
virtual router's address from the hello message.  Is this a human error on
my
part in that it appears to be an assumption I'm making??

Since this is a Cisco Protocol, is there an RFC on it that I could reference
for my clarification needs??

Thanks,
Mark Odette II

RE: Can anyone clarify the difference of these two?

2001-03-02 Thread Willy Schoots

There is a difference as not both the source and destination port are the
same.

Lets say Station A wants to telnet to station B:

Source port A: 1024Destination Port: 23 (telnet)

So to come back to your access-lists it DOES make a difference.


See this partial trace below:

Station A: 192.168.1.1  Station B: 192.168.1.22

In the trace you will see the 3-way handshake (Frame 1-3) and after that you
will see the Telnet negotiation starting

RE: Frame Relay

2001-02-01 Thread Willy Schoots

I would disagree with the statement below. Ethernet, Token Ring etc are
interacting with the upper layers. For example Ethernet II has an Ethertype
value that identifies the upper layer for 0x0800 is IP, the same goes for
DSAP/SSAP values in the 802.3 header. The OSI layers are somewhat
independent of each other except at the borders where they interact. For IP
the interaction between the layer 3 and higher uses a Protocol ID field in
the header to specify TCP UDP EIGRP etc.

Regarding Frame Relay this is done in the encapsulation part. For example if
you would use the IETF encapsulation method you (the system) would use a
NLPID that identifies the upper layer protocol. For more info on this see
http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc1490.html . Cisco uses a proprietary
encapsulation as well where 2 bytes are used for indicating packet type.

Layer 2

Seriously, FR is a Layer 2 protocol, as is Ethernet, Token Ring, etc.  As
those other protocols support numerous Layer 3 (or higher) protocols, so
will FR.  The beauty of the OSI model is that there is separation of the
layers without too much interaction between them.  In other words, the Layer
4 datagrams get encapsulated into the Layer 3 packets, which in turn get
encapsulated into Layer 2 frames.  FR doesn't care for the most part what is
"inside" the Layer 3 stuff coming down the pipe.  ;-}

RE: A question

2001-01-05 Thread Willy Schoots

Here is a link with some more info on it for Win2000 (also applicable to
Win98/ME) about this http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/network/tcpip2k.asp

If a Microsoft TCP/IP client is installed and set to dynamically obtain
TCP/IP protocol configuration information from a DHCP server (instead of
being manually configured with an IP address and other parameters), the DHCP
client service is engaged each time the computer is restarted. The DHCP
client service now uses a two-step process to configure the client with an
IP address and other configuration information. When the client is
installed, it attempts to locate a DHCP server and obtain a configuration
from it. Many TCP/IP networks use DHCP servers that are administratively
configured to hand out information to clients on the network. If this
attempt to locate a DHCP server fails, the Windows 2000 DHCP client
autoconfigures its stack with a selected IP address from the IANA-reserved
class B network 169.254.0.0 with the subnet mask 255.255.0.09 . The DHCP
client tests (using a gratuitous ARP) to make sure that the IP address that
it has chosen is not already in use. If it is in use, it selects another IP
address (it does this for up to 10 addresses). Once the DHCP client has
selected an address that is verifiably not in use, it configures the
interface with this address. It continues to check for a DHCP server in the
background every 5 minutes. If a DHCP server is found, the autoconfiguration
information is abandoned, and the configuration offered by the DHCP server
is used instead. This autoconfiguration feature is known as Automatic
Private IP Addressing (APIPA) and allows single subnet home office or small
office networks to use TCP/IP without static configuration or the
administration of a DHCP server.

Hi Networker

I have couple of questions.

one of our client. The moment we connect the router to
our network, all of our PC in our internal network got
a message about IP conflict with another IP address
which is not our internal IP address. We use
10.210.X.X as our internal IP and the conflicting IP
was 169.254.X.X. We use DHCP server internally. This
router was connected to our network through Sonicwall
Firewall which disallows all the incoming traffic. So,
we removed the router and everything worked fine. So,
my question is "Is there a DHCP server in the router?"

2. How should I connect my PC to the console. I have
the console cables with me. I am using Windows NT
server. I tried to connect the cable to the com2 and
when I tries to use the Hyper terminal it took most of
the processor time. So please help me out.

Somebody please help me. I have to finish this work by
the end of the day.

RE: Difference in Broadcast Domain and Collision Domain......

2000-08-30 Thread Willy Schoots

Collision domains:
Station A sends out a frame, this frame can collide with an other frame from
station X on the "wire". Station A and all other stations that could be
station X form a collision domain, this includes ports from routers and
switches. A collision domain means all the stations that share the same
physical "wire" directly or indirectly through a repeater (hub). Bridges,
switches and routers break up collision domains

Broadcast domains:
Station A sends out a broadcast, this broadcast can be received by station
X. Station A and all other stations that could be station X form a broadcast
domain. Broadcasts are normally forwarded by bridges and switches. Routers
normally filter broadcasts (not always, think about IP HELPER function).
However switches do also VLANs, this means that not all broadcasts are
forwarded out all ports. A broadcast stays within its VLAN !!!.
-- switches can break up collision domains and by using VLANs also can
break up broadcast domains.

Subject: Difference in Broadcast Domain and Collision Domain..


Hi all,

How we r going to differentiate between a broadcast domain and a collision
domain.

Can we co-relate this to a router and a switch or a bridge.
