RE: DHCP Over Wan Link

2000-08-04 Thread dfoss

Yep, that'll work just fine with a couple conditions.  First you have to put
a ip helper-address command on the ethernet interface of the remote router
and the scope you setup for the remote office has to have a higher IP number
than the scope you're providing on the local network.  Here's a sample that
will hopefully make sense:

DHCP server:  10.10.10.100 255.255.255.0
E0 address of remote router:  10.10.11.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper address on e0: ip helper-address 10.10.10.100
Two scopes on the DHCP server:
10.10.10.10-10.10.10.50  gateway=10.10.10.1
10.10.11.10-10.10.11.50  gateway=10.10.11.1

A client on the remote network sends a broadcast looking for a DHCP server.
The router sees the broadcast and forwards it to 10.10.10.100.  The DHCP
server sees a broadcast coming from the router with along with info from the
router saying the packet came from the 10.10.11.0 network.  The DHCP server
responds with a 10.10.11.0 address.

The reason the remote scopes have to be a higher IP number is because a
standard local broadcast doesn't really mention where it's being sent from
so the DHCP server blindly sends an address from the lowest numbered scope
as a default.

If you're using WINS you'll also want to add:
no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-ns
no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-dgm
to your router configotherwise you'll get lots of master broweser
elections that'll fill up your event logs.

Hope this helps!

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.

With IPSec being a relatively immature standard there is a chance that it
will work that way but a better chance that it won't until the next PIX

RE: dhcp on router?

2000-07-16 Thread dfoss

The router will act as a DHCP server with little trouble.  I think that came
out in the 12.0.2 code.  If you're comparing it between the router and NT
servers then I see little additional benefit either way.  Both platforms
will allocate the IP's and IP settings with no problems.  So really, I guess
it would be personal preferencedo you want to mess with an NT server or
if the same person does the routers and IP schemes maybe it's easier to keep
it all in one place.  Neither of these compare to full fledge commercial
DHCP servers you can get from Cisco or other companies that have distributed
servers, failover and etc...but you're going to pay a premium for all that.

Here's an example of one I'm using:

ip name-server 172.16.100.29
ip dhcp excluded-address 172.18.0.1 172.18.2.10
ip dhcp pool DHCP1
   network 172.18.0.0 255.255.0.0
   default-router 172.18.1.1
   dns-server 172.18.1.151 172.16.100.29
   domain-name yourdomain.com
   netbios-node-type h-node
   netbios-name-server 172.18.1.151

hi! all.
I thought that the router only forwards the DHCP
request from clients to DHCP server.
So, can router dynamically allocate ip addresses for
DHCP requesting clients without reaching to DHCP
server? Then the router also should have same stack of
all ip addresses on its memory.. How does router get
all ip addresses? Does it receive from DHCP server?
If the router serves ip addresses, what is the benefit
of it?
Could somebody answer this?
Thanks in adv.

RE: 7200 local director

2000-07-05 Thread dfoss

The localdirector is a separate box and doesn't really talk to the 7200.  I
have two of them now and they've been working great.  We turned them on,
configured them, and forgot about them.  That's the upside...they work with
little trouble and if you get two of them the failover works very well.  The
only complaint I have about them is they are based on bridging technology so
you can't hide a private network behind them.  Rather than setup lots of
individual IP's we decided to go with a port-bound setup.
222.222.222.220:8100 and 222.222.222.221:8100 are mapped to
222.222.222.222:80 so when people try to get to 222.222.222.222:80 it will
redirect the traffic to one of the other ip/port combinations depending on
which algorithm you setup.  I would rather have been able to set it up using
an address translation so 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.2 mapped to
222.222.222.222 on the outside but it wasn't a really big deal.  F5's boxes
act as routers so you can hide whatever you want behind them.  The GUI on
the F5 box is a little better as well but I tend to stick to the CLI on the
localdirector anyway so I guess that doesn't matter much.

Cisco has lots of new options for the localdirector technology which include
putting them on blades in the Catalyst 6000's but make sure to check the
feature list before you jump into that.  Some things that are available in
the seperate box are available *yet* in the new blades and software
versions.

Overall I'd have to give it a 4 star rating.the one star taken off for
the GUI, and lack of reporting (outside of the command line 'show' commands)
without additional software.  However, it works welland thats the
important part.

RE: Slow Speed in 2900 Switches, Pls Help!!

2000-07-03 Thread dfoss

Hey now...take a deep breath and pull back on the caps lock key a bit.
Everyone is just doing their best to help.

Good advice on starting from the simplest point.  Back everything off to 10
meg half/duplex, turn portfast on, set everything on one vlan, and etc.
Then turn everything up...one thing at a time, from that point...if you even
need to.  There is nothing wrong with doing full duplex over cat 5 cables (I
dunno where you get the two cable idea from for full-duplex connections but
I have to agree that someone saying a full duplex connection runs at 200Mb
has been working in marketing too long) but I usually use full-duplex only
between switches and routers, everything else I like to leave set for auto
(personal preference).  Trunking (using more than one cable/nic between
devices) is a beautiful thing but you only need to use that if you want
redundancy or if the single ports are getting overloaded.  Also, Cat5
cabling is good to 100 meters...not 10.  Check most any networking white
paper for reference.

Anyway, to answer Mr. Tong's questions:
1) Hubs:  It depends on which way you want to look at your speed question.
All ports on the hub have access to the 10Mb half-duplex backplane.  So
every PC is contending for the 10 megs.  I doubt you'd get about 6.5Mb out
of it anyway...after that it's primarily just a collision domain.  But all
the machines together can't go beyond the 10Mb limit so in a way you could
say that each PC has the capability of pushing 10 megs but only if none of
the other machines are transmitting/receiving at that time.

2) The switch:  Each user would have the capability of hitting 100Mb but if
you have a 100Mb backbone then no single user will really get that speed (in
fact, I'd intentionally leave the users at 10Mb half-duplex unless they
REALLY need the speed increase).  However, if two PC's on the same switch
are talking to each other then they'll assumedly get the full amount of
speed without slowing down any other computers.

3) Speed and configuration issues:  Feel free to post the interface stats so
we can see what is going on.  Alternately just do what Stephen said and
start with the most basic config possible and go from there.  Cisco's web
site has many sample configurations that may help you out.

Hope this helpsI've found that it's usually one minor little command
that got missed or set wrong.  Once that is taken care of you just sit back
and watch the data fly by.

RE: BGP - 1 DS3, 4 backup T1s, 1 ISP

2000-07-03 Thread dfoss

I have a nearly identical setup to what you're proposing except that I use
the T1's daily along with the DS3 and I'm multihomed to two providers.  It
makes for some interesting tweaking but in the end it works quite well.  Our
average web site load time used to be in the 5-6 second range but now with
the addition of the Localdirectors and BGP/multihoming our site load times
average close to .5 seconds but occasionally bounce up to 2-3 seconds if we
get some high-latency from one of the providers.  I'm getting ready to
switch to two DS3's here in a few weeks which will simplify things a bit and
add much needed bandwidth.  Anyway, I'll paste my config in here after I try
to answer your questions.  My disclaimer is that I still haven't had the
time to become 'proficient' with BGP but my config works. :)

a. One thing I found was I was much better off to have the ISP send a
default route along with everything else and then weight it on my side.  I
never got what I considered to be a satisfactory solution when I tried to do
it with static default routes.  If you have the ISP send default routes then
you can pretty much guarantee that everything will be dynamic.  I had a
couple situations where the BGP session went active but the links were fine
and data wouldn't switch over to the other links.  (dynamic=good)
b. This strategy works well for me although you may want to find out where
those 4 T1's are homed to.  Definately make sure they're not on the same
router as the DS3 and, although it'll close some of your load *balancing*
prospects I prefer to have the T1's split between different routers as well.
(all the redundant links don't do very well if the router that they home to
crashesI had the 'opportunity' to learn that one as well)
c. Using the T1's for every day traffic is up do you.  However, since you'll
be using BGP (and I guess even without BGP) any other person who happens to
be on the same router that you have a T1 on will always go through the T1
because it's the shortest path.  
d. You'll have to worry about some of that but maybe not all.  Your ISP
should be able to help you get through any sticky areas.
e. Ummm, I dunno...I'm open to suggestion :)  I'm partial to using the
route-cache on links with that much bandwidth but I'd welcome a more
experienced answer as well.
f. Another router shouldn't be required unless you feel the need for
hardware redundancy as well.  I'm currently using a 4700M for mine which is
underpowered but I should be replacing that with a 7206 in a couple weeks.
The limitation on the 4700 was memory and backplane speed...it seemed to
have plenty leftover horsepower for the situation I put it in.  Even with
high bandwidth utilization the processor stayed at a very reasonable level.
If it'll help, I'll forward a copy of my 7206 config when I get that ready.

Here's a stripped version on my confighope it helps!

RE: Analog Dial Backup

2000-06-29 Thread dfoss

I've had problems with the ip address negotiated setup before...although
with ISDN.  I could make the connection but my routing tables wouldn't
update (EIGRP).  You can usually pay the ISP a few dollars per month extra
and get them to assign a static IP to your account but I haven't tried it
with that exact scenario.

RE: Cisco VPN Software

2000-06-29 Thread dfoss

err, yeah1.0a and 1.1. :) Sorry about the confusion.  However, I did use
the 1.1 client with the 5.0.3 firmware with no problems.  A few of the
problems I had with the 1.0 client were:

Slow authentication/tunnel creation times.
Inability to connect to more than two subnets at a time. (unfortunately I
have many leftover IP ranges in my network that I'm in the process of
cleaning up. I'm in the process of switching everything to a 10.x.x.x
addressing scheme).
Adequate but not speedy encryption which played havoc with WINS every so
often.
Minor stuff such as logging didn't work on the 1.0 client.

The 1.1 client fixed all of these problems.  You have to admit that both of
them are simple to configure though.  I'm getting ready to test the 3030 VPN
Access Concentratorlet me know if you have any questions about that one
and I'll try to test it out for you.

Hey Daniel,

I haven't seen the Cisco VPN Client 1.2 version yet.

I do know that on a PIX, firmware 5.0.3 and below required version 1.0
and
firmware 5.1 and above required version 1.1.

I would advise sticking with 5.0.3 and 1.0 on a PIX just because of the
PIX
firmware stability. I do agree that the 1.1 VPN Client was easier to
setup
because the defaults were the settings I wanted. In 1.0 I had to adjust
almost everything.

Make sure you download the 1.2 version (the latest one).  It's much more
refined than the previous one and seems to have taken care of many of the
issues that I used to have.  My speed seemed to increased quite a bit with
the new version but it's hard to tell if it was the new client or if I just
happened to get lucky with the bandwidth to my office.

Has anyone had a chance to compare the Raptor Power VPN server/client with
Cisco's solution yet?

RE: LAN Monitoring-Help!!!

2000-06-28 Thread dfoss

MRTG should work fine as long as the counters don't roll over too fast.  You
can tell MRTG to update every 60 seconds instead of the default 300 if you
need to.  There are others packages out there but I believe they all depend
on the same countersplus you just have to love MRTG!

Hi Group,

In a LAN environment, we have Cisco Works and few Cisco switches with
10/100 
Mbps and Gbps ports. I want to monitor them simultaneously for traffic
on 
each port. I am aware of MRTG too,  but dont know whether it will
monitor 
Gbit port?

question is:

1. How to monitor Gigabit port?
2. How to monitor Mbps and Gigabit port simultaneously?

Kindly extend your help. Do I need to use some other tool??


Thanks and Regards,
