port/duplex configs [7:69582]

2003-05-27 Thread ian williams
I have always configured ports on CAT switch to 100/full manually instead of
AUTO.
What is recommended when asked this question for the CCIE written. Should
both the end
device ( NIC ) and switch both be configured to 100/FULL?

This has come up in the ccie written.
If I understand this subject correctly AUTO , sends out packets to try and
match the 2 devices up with regards to speed and duplex.
If your getting connection problems this would be a speed issue. If its some
sort of packet loss/error then this could be a duplex problem.
I have always configured the CAT port manually so there isnt any problems.

Why would you choice AUTO?

Re: Virtual Link Problem [7:69640]

2003-05-28 Thread ian williams
I cant see a problem here, but I have been caught on this one before when
using MD5 authentication.
Remember when using MD5 authentication in Area 0 the R2 will have a direct
connection into Area 0 after the virtual link has been made
so needs to have MD5 authentication as well. You can also do MD5
authentication on the virtual link itself, this was what I was trying to do
and got confused with the MD5 authentication between R2 and Area 0.
When I removed all the MD5 authentication it still would come up. In the end
I removed the config and started again, bingo it came up

crypto maps and IPSEC tunnels [7:71341]

2003-06-25 Thread ian williams
Hi

I have just setup a IPSEC tunnel between to routers and tunneling a source
address of 192.168.50.1 going to a host on router B
172.x.x.x./24
Everything works with the current configs given below. But I want to change
the acl 101 on router B from using a class A mask
to something like a class C mask or even a host address. I have changed the
ACL 101 and even added a deny ip any any log
to the end to see what is being dropped.
The VPN tunnel doesnt come up unless I use a class A mask like showen below.
I know this is an ACL but is being used for matching traffic, do they work
differently and dont support host address ??

Thanks

Ian



Here is the config of router A


!
crypto isakmp policy 10
 encr 3des
 hash md5
 authentication pre-share
crypto isakmp key cisco address 10.10.10.10
!
!
crypto ipsec transform-set TEST esp-3des
!
crypto map cisco 1 ipsec-isakmp
 set peer 10.10.10.10
 set transform-set TEST
 match address 101

access-list 101 permit ip 192.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 101 permit ip 192.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 172.0.0.0 0.255.255.255














Here is the config router B

crypto isakmp policy 10
 encr 3des
 hash md5
 authentication pre-share
crypto isakmp key password address 10.10.10.20
!
!
crypto ipsec transform-set TEST esp-3des
!
crypto map cisco 1 ipsec-isakmp
 set peer 10.10.10.20
 set transform-set TEST
 match address 101

access-list 101 permit ip 172.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 192.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 101 permit ip host 10.10.10.10 host 10.10.10.20
