Cisco 4500m bootflash issue [7:38405]

2002-03-15 Thread jeff sicuranza

Folks, does anyone know where I can purchase another xbootflash simm and
possibly an updated RMON EEPROM? During a flash upgrade my 4500m bootflash
was corrupted, my main flash has no IOS and the version of RMON(5.1) does
not provide the tftpdnld or xmodem commands to load the boot helper image
via the console port. I basically have a useless router... I will be willing
to reimburse someone for lending me their xbootflash simm just to get going..

Thanks

Re: Cisco 4500m bootflash issue [7:38405]

2002-03-15 Thread jeff sicuranza

Thanks that is what I am trying to do, if I can find another 4500. I did not
erase the boot flash. I did not even touch the furthest simm, but it is
corrupted. All I did was remove the two regular flash simms to upgrade to
16mbs of flash so I can use 12.1 for the IE lab.

Otherwise, if I can find another 45/700 with the bootflash simm I can borrow
it, pop it into my router and be back in business according to Cisco's TAC
site. Had this 4500 had a newer ROMMON  I could have recovered the bootflash
via the console port but that too is not the case. I even tried to load the
boot image on the flash simm on another router, I got the image down but
when I transferred the simm back to the 4500 the first file was still not
found. I was hoping for someplace that sold the simm with a boot image
and/or newer ROMMON chip.

If you know of anyplace or someone willing to mail me the simm to get
started I will return the simm with a check for their help..

Thanks again A Strobel

I was studying and practicing and I wondered if this would benefit anyone.
Have fun

How do you get this route???
What mask do you configure on the interface?
Gateway of last resort is not set

C0.0.0.0/1 is directly connected, Serial0/0

2002-03-28 Thread jeff sicuranza

Actually a vendor who I purchased some equipment from in the past sent me
one for free to keep. He even over night it to me. It worked like a charm.

For those interested in the recovery process.

 I was able to get my main flash running, then I removed the boot flash from
the vendor, put in my corrupted one, then booted into my main flash then put
a new 12.1 boot image on my original boot flash. I then tested by booting in
each mode ROMMON, BOOT, then flash. All works okay with all of my original
flash simms.

Sometimes vendor relationships pay off

Thanks for the ebay tips folks

Yes, the Agilent  Advisor is an awesome tool, I own two of them. You may not
necessarily need to schedule an outage on your serial link if your CSU/DSUs
have external non intrusive monitoring port capabilities. If they do then
all you need is a pair of bantam cables and plug one end of the pair  into
your T-1 module on the Advisor and plug the other ends into your CSU and
away you go…  You can not only sniff, but generate traffic for stimuli
testing and basically use your advisor as a T berd.

do not bother with any 2500 series if you are starting out now. IOS
improvements and requriements are slowly phasing them out, look into 1750,
2600, 3600 series only. 12.3 does not even run on any 4000 or 4500 series
and only IP plus for 2500 series. Do not limit yourself

RE: CCNP Re-certification [7:69556]

2003-05-30 Thread jeff sicuranza
Well I passed the exam, ccnp recert today, it was close, man what a pain. I
only studied a week and a half and mostly labbed my work. Considering I have
not touched a cisco router or done much cisco work since my first ccie lab
attempt last september(I was burnt out of cisco and sick of it) I guess the
experience carried me on this on.

 This exam is a pain, the new format is cool for you have to type in configs
et al. So know your command output across the board. However there was some
old stuff like win95 setup for dial up and an appletalk plus a couple of x25
questions. I put in the comments that this stuff was outdated, not relelvant
and appletalk was not on any of the exam topic lists.

Also, you cannot mark your questions and go back later. It is all or
nothing. I had 15 minutes to spare and I could not go back, so I was graded
immediatly.

The examples and diagrams(used for the config simulations) have text that is
so small you can barley read it. Since all of my cisco exams for np/dp
were v1 and back in 2000 if this is a hint of the future, the ccnp/dp will
become more difficult to obtain. Much more emphasis on hands on and knowing
your command output cold across the board.

My test did have the mls, multicasting(ip and mac stuff) and some ISIS, so
know your multicast mac addresses plus some older fr, isdn ipx, queuing
subnetting stuff. The questions are tougher and more esoteric in terms of
understanding them. One question was obviously an error, same answer in two
choices. Lots of switching spanning-tree(theory/practical) vtp routers with
isl et al. Bgp sync, hands on ospf configuration, policy routing, hands on
frame relay config.  So know your switchig/routing commands cold and hands
on. It was just funcky old stuff but with more command output detailed asked
and newer stuff with funky command output details asked.

I recall it was 112 questions with 2 hours to complete

I did not violate any nda just cofirming that what was in the exam
objectives for all tests were in this test, even the appletalk question.

I used all my ccie books and some of my older np/dp books. I used this
opportunity to brush up my cisco skills but I alos spent extra time reading
doyle I II for all IGP and BGP.  I did not use any brain dumps or practice
tests. Do not use them. Learn from experience, hands on practicing, reading
and labbing. You will appreciate you skills and cert a little more, and be
more confident in your real abilities. I used  www.amilabs.com for all of my
work.

Oh well now on to recertify on the DP. I will probably sit that one on
Thurs. From there I will make a decision if I should spend the next three
months on my second ccie attempt. I have a lab slot schedlued in sept
otherwise I will lose my written eligibility. I may pass for I have an
opportunity to work on some WDM, obtain my CWNA and maybe CISSP with in the
same period.

I hoped this helped someone. Good luck to all

Regards...

No, from what I have heard from an older thread, here or over at cisco's
forum is that you can re-take any ccnp/dp re-cert exam as many times as you
need to pass before your re-cert date expires. After that you have to start
all over again from ccna.

RE: CCNP Re-certification [7:69556]

2003-05-31 Thread jeff sicuranza
Well fellas I passed the CCDP recert today. Man what a messed up test. The
exam objectives on CCO(for all tests) are not what are on this exam. This
exam is basically version 1 Routing, Switching, Remote access and CID
version 1 from 3-4 years ago. I mean I did have some MLS but I had x25,
smds, atm aal3-4 nonsense, desktop protocol issues, lan manager, old CID
design questions that did not make sense, type in questions(which is to be
expected) and old hardware that is probably not even supported anymore, like
700s and 1600s. I made many comments during the exam that these questions
are no longer relevant especially for a CCDP update recert. It was all old
stuff. I mean old stuff that was not too relevant then, specific 1600s and
700s issues, come on now…..

I studied based on the info. from the CCO site, so for Routing, Switching
and Remote access for the CCNP recert., which was updated, but it was my
experience that carried me on this one. I did go over my old Sybex and Cisco
Press ver. 1 CID books this week just in case, so that helped too.

I thought halfway through I was failing for all of the older 700/1600,
desktop protocols and x25/atm crap was driving me nuts. Since I have been in
computer technology since ’84 I was able to pass. A lot of the questions
were hands on fill in the blank types so that helped me also. Funny though,
I did better on this exam(averaging in the 80% range for every topic except
CID) and got in the high 800s than I did on the CCNP recert.(Considering 
the CCO CCNP topics matched the exam).

I only studied a week and a half for both and took them two days apart. What
I learned in the CCNP recert exam, that I posted earlier here, did not apply
on the CCDP recert. exam to my dismay so I was bummed out during the exam.
In this case my old hands on experience rules.

So, for those of you fellas preparing for the CCDP recert. your old
books(even version 1 CCDP stuff) is fine.

Now to decide if I want to take a second stab at my ccie lab seat.

Good luck to all…

Yep that seems to be the case, my tests were taken on a tue and a Fri and
were differnet tests, so I am wondering if the three day limit is person
based not test based for I could not schedule my dp recert for the next day.
I thought maybe the testing location was booked so I guess they count the
day of the last test taken.
 
What I meant in my last post is that if you fail well before the date of
expiration you are not de-certified or anything, you can re-take the exam
over and over again, every three days, until you pass before your expiration
date. I did not even know about the three day limit. Thanks kevin

There was only one appletalk quesiton on the NP recert probably from one of
old questions from the routing pool. As for the 700 series nothing like that
on the NP recert. The NP recert exam is one of the more updated newer exams
with ios simulation for hands on testing.

It is the DP recert exam that has all the old junk.

Good luck..

Interesting VOFR experiment [7:44307]

2002-05-15 Thread jeff sicuranza

Folks while studying for the CCIE lab I was working on the VOIP portion. I
was configuring VOFR and according to Caslow 2nd edition, page 781 he states:

“NOTE: the configuration above will support a Voice over Frame-Relay service
only. It does not support both Voice and Data over Frame-Relay.”

During my experimentation I was able to get both Voice and normal IP traffic
over a VOFR link. I am not sure his wording meant the specific configuration
in the book or that it cannot be done once VOFR is enabled on an interface.
I have not checked CCO yet on this...

I am running this configuration on two 2620’s IOS ver. 12.1(14) with a back
to back serial frame-relay connection.(no Frame-Relay switch in between). To
see the doc. on back to back Frame-Relay without a switch see the following
link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/125/frbacktoback_hybrid.html

Nonetheless here are the relevant portions of the configs. for you
enjoyment…

The other dial peers are so I can jump between LAN and wan VOIP testing….

Just thought I would share this if anyone is interested…

Re: BGP load balancing [7:44697]

2002-05-22 Thread jeff sicuranza

Yes it does if you are doing EBGP and your router has two or more directly
conneted links to your EBGP peer. The the default load balancing will work
if static routes or an IGP is used for your subnets linking your neighbors.
You see it is not BGP performing the load balancing but the normal behavior
of load balancing across equal cost paths (if exists) regardless if you are
using static or IGP routes.. EBGP multihop also does this however, you are
still using the behavior of the static and IGP routes for equal cost paths
but do not need to have your neighbors directly connected... Lab it you will
see... Have fun

Online Lab soon to be Available [7:46216]

2002-06-10 Thread jeff sicuranza

Fellow net/packet heads, I will soon provide my lab online for your use in
CCNA through CCIE studying. This lab also can be used for general OS,
development and protocols analysis research and studying.. This lab has
everything for the CCIE lab except the ATM and 3900 Token-Ring switching
components.

1.0 What is AMI LABs?

AMI LABS is a Data communications and general Computer Science laboratory
that is available for students and professionals to study various networking
and computer industry technologies. The lab consists of Cisco routers and
switches, AT&T, Nortel, Agilent, IBM and other vendors networking products.
The lab also contains various servers running Microsoft and Linux operating
systems. The lab provides a “SCRATCH PAD” environment for a student or
professional to learn new or sharpen existing skills plus provide a general
research environment. The lab grew out of AMI’s Cisco certification
requirements and can be used for your CCNA through CCIE preparation. The lab
can also help you prepare for Microsoft, Linux, and any other general
industry certification such as a security exam. The lab also lends itself
for testing hacking exploits on the operating system and protocol levels.


Here is what I am providing for an 8 hour block of time at a low fee.

Routers:

2501
2503
2504
2513
2509 
2620  with voip and 4 serials + FA
2620 with voip 2 Serial and FA
4500 2 TR 4 serial and 2 Eth
AGS+ 2 Eth 4 TR and 14 Serial

All routers loaded to max memory and flash. 

Switches
Cat 5550 with SupIII and NFFC II for MLS and Ether channeling
2924C-XL-EN
2924-XL

Blink2 ISDN emulation
Async routing and POTS access for POTS dial routings
T-1 CSU/DSU ( I am working on access to these so you can learn how to
configure AT&T CSU’s)

Full access via a Win2k terminal server to use applications like Cisco Works
and Cisco Secure as well as hacking and development tools. This server also
has the Blink management software to analyze and change the ISDN links to
your hearts desire.

Also, on this server is protocol analyzer(sniffer)software and a
multicasting server so you can trace and generate basic multicasting traffic
for your Cisco network. Also, you can originate your VOIP call via this
server for full VOIP testing over the Cisco router network and sniff at the
same time. The Win2k server has multiple interfaces (Token-Ring and Ethernet
) so you can test and trace the various CRB, IRB, SRB and SRTB
configurations. There will be other TR based Wink2 WS(available upon
request) for testing Netbios bridging scenarios..

There are other applications available on the Win2k server for your
educational purpose. The server has web access so you can download IOS
images and store your router configs. You can upgrade the routers and reboot
remotely as well.

This lab also offers full access to a Red Hat Linux 7.2 server complete with
all Red applications and development tools to learn Linux. Another Red hat
Linux router is also included for IP Chains and Tables testing and hacking..

TFTP/FTP servers are available on the Win and Linux boxes for your configs.
Full telnet access to all servers as well as terminal service access to the
Win2k server.

All of this is available via a VPN tunnel access kit provided once you sign
up.


I will be providing this service in the Fall once I take my first  CCIE lab,
regardless of pass or fail, in September.

I am looking for any feedback on improvements and interest in this community
to see if these components are helpful. I have been beta testing the lab to
some users and the response has been excellent. The speed of the VPN for the
telnet and terminal access was very good. The VPN clients used are ones
available from Win2k and Win98. So no additional software is requited…

Thanks….

RE: CCIE LAB EXAM CHANGES..... [7:46401]

2002-06-12 Thread jeff sicuranza

Tell me about it. My lab is in early September, but I just picked up a 5505
with a sup III and NFFC II for $1000.00(it was an awesome deal)
I got the 24 port 10/100 blade for $100.00. It is great that cisco is taking
the Token-Ring and IPX stuff out but the ethernet switching does not make
sense. Unless they are ultimatly moving away from the (set) based product
code. The 6500s support Switching IOS in addition to the standard SET based
code, so I guess this makes the platforms(the new 2950s up to 6500) more
consistent up and down the product offerings. I am checking on wheather my
2924-xl-en is comaprable to a 3550 in terms of IOS functionality, without
the Gbit of course. Otherwise I will see if I can trade in my pair of 2924s
for a reduced priced 3550.

Good luck..

Jeff,
Hi my name is TAC GUY and I'm the engineer that is working on your case
C806967. I see you are interested in installing the EMI software on your
3550. While you can download it from CCO you may need to contact your SE or
our Entitlement group to get approval or purchase the software. The software
that you listed in the case notes would be the correct software to install.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email or phone me.
Thanks,
TAC GUY

Re: 3550-24 Question [7:46572]

2002-06-14 Thread jeff sicuranza

Thanks Radford, I saw the same thing but it was still unclear from Cisco's
tac response. Is the downloadable file the CD-3550-EMI= and all you need is
a valid CCO account to upgrade? Or do you have to spend x amount of $$ to
purchase a special download for the CD-3550? According to the response it
looks like all I have to do is just download the file, which I did, but all
of this "SE or our Entitlement group to get approval" nonsense has confused
me...

Re: 3550-24 Question [7:46572]

2002-06-14 Thread jeff sicuranza

Thanks Shawn. I know this is splitting hairs but I just wanted to clarify a
few things so folks on this board and myself are clear on the policy and we
do not end up in Cisco jail, purchase the wrong switch options or damage the
switch by loading the wrong software.

 So what you are saying is that the file listed on CCO is the CD-3550-EMI=
upgrade? Correct?

 If you buy a switch with just SMI installed but do have a CCO contract, but
it(the CCO account) does not cover the 3550 "entitlement" you can still
download the file and install it, (it will work??)but you are doing
something illegal?  Correct?

The above scenario also applies to someone who buys the switch used with SMI
installed and "borrowed" someone’s CCO account, regardless of account
"entitlement" status, downloads the software and upgrades their switch. This
is also illegal in Cisco's eyes.
Correct?

If a person buys a switch with a SMI installed but has a valid CCO account
with the proper 3550 EMI "entitlement" on the CCO account, then all that is
needed to upgrade the switch from that point is just a download of the file
and follow the install instructions?  Correct?

You see I was confused that the CD-3550-EMI is an actual "physical" product
ordered and is received on a CD or via special download with a key or
something that is required for you to upgrade from SMI to EMI. However, I
see the EMI IOS on the 3550 download page.

 The reference to CD-3550-EMI is a "logical" reference to CCO "entitlement"
privilege level. So Cisco is basically using a monitored “Honor System” when
it comes to the downloads??? Correct?

Thanks...

Re: Cisco Lab Changes..Updated [7:46623]

2002-06-14 Thread jeff sicuranza

I tell you this is becoming utter nonsense. As I mentioned in an older post
I picked up an awesome 5505 for a song and I was expecting to use it to
prepare for my first lab attempt on 9/9.

Then… this news comes out about the 3550. Okay no problem, if I nail the lab
the first time(I wish! and will try) then the 3550 is moot for my first lab.
I can still prepare with what I have. I would deal with the 3550 if I failed
on my first attempt and reschedule after the lab changes came into affect.
Now for my first attempt I have to get access to a 3550 or simulate as much
as possible on a 2924-XL-EN. This also changes the commercial offerings of
my lab, but I will offer everything so students can be well rounded with the
hands on stuff.


Luckily I picked up a new 3550 for under 2k this week…

What a pain, I am about to retire from this industry in a year or so.
Why do I put myself through this? Because I love this stuff, even though
this cert studying is getting boring.

RE: ORA 3113 [7:24637]

2001-10-30 Thread jeff sicuranza

ORA messages are Oracle messages sent in the TNS protocol and can be
decoded. If you are seeing this in a sniffer trace it refers to some oracle
application or query condition. I  have seen many many of these ORA type
messages when analyzing Oracle application for inneffiencies and network
behavior. For example you may see many ORA 1403 "no data found" in a trace
of a query that did not return anything. These messages could be looked up
in the oracle documentation or you can send it to your oracle support rep.
The oracle TNS protocol has many different network related messages
involving Oracle clients and Servers but I do not recall a 3113 being
network related. Check your oracle documentation.

Take off your Cisco hat for second and think about this:

cost. I need to find a low cost, carrier type CPE that will take a DS3 and
hand off eithernet. Low cost, low feature is the guiding word.

RE: CCIE written on resume? [7:48868]

2002-07-16 Thread jeff sicuranza

>From experience speaking

I put my COMPLETED certifications on the resume. On the cover email I do
list some of the certs. NP/DP etc.. but I also put CCIE(lab candidate). To
just show that I am pursuing it.  I do not need the IE, the resume speaks
for itself so when potential clients ask, I am doing if for the challenge,
and it shows I continue to train and invest in myself. It is fun but
somewhat boring going over the legacy stuff I haven’t touched in years. I
will probably get my butt kicked in the lab soon but so what. My track
record is all that really matters.



As for the newbie or Jr./Mid level person working his/her way up listing it
this way is an honest and helpful method since the recruiting agencies or HR
search engines pick up(sort) your resume by buzz words.

For companies willing to take on a JR level person who is at least a lab
candidate you do not want to be missed.

There are some job reqs. that state this ”CCIE or lab candidates apply”
especially for FT opportunities from a VAR or systems integrator. Better for
them to hire someone already with the written passed and some experience and
help sponsor them for the lab and potentially helping the VAR out in partner
status as apposed doing this from the start. Why miss out on these potential
opportunities for long term career growth if you are passed over because of
a stupid buzz word search...

Just be honest with yourself and you should be fine. If you get grilled by
some lazy prima donna who has been in the same position forever just roll
with it and learn from the experience…

I remember doing just this when I was a CNE ten years ago and I needed to
hire staff for projects temp or perm. I stated any CNE candidates welcomed.
This worked well depending on the role and I met/hired some good folks.

CiscoWorks installation issue [7:54808]

2002-10-03 Thread jeff sicuranza

I was wondering if any of the Microsoft experts out there can help me with
this one.

I am having a problem installing CiscoWorks 2000 3.2 CD one on a Win2k
Advanced server. I have installed this same version on other 2k advanced
servers in the past with no problem but at the beginning of the installation
a dialog box appears with a title of “severe” and a message of  “cannot
create install dependency file”.

Can anyone of the Microsoft experts out there shed some light on this. I
have installed other applications like Visio2k, Visual Studio and SQL
server2k to name a few before the CiscoWorks application, Is one of the
other previous application installations blocking or causing this issue? I
stick the CD into another Win2k box with the same apps installed and I do
not get this message. This is a new server and the apps were just installed.
I would hate to blow it away because of an install sequence. I tried looking
up the error message for some clues on the Microsoft and Cisco sites but was
only able to find this bit of information:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q178354


Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated…

Thanks….

RE: how to monitor ciscosecure service? [7:55114]

2002-10-08 Thread jeff sicuranza

In Cisco Secure there is a section to configure what to do if the service
stops, is not responsive or hangs. Based on these conditions you can have
the service restart etc. I believe the menu path is
Systems Configuration then click the ACS Service Management link and you
will be presented with options on checking the logging in and service
handling options. In the ACS Service Management section there is a sub
section with a drop down box to test the login process every x minutes.
Based on the test outcome you can select the test to respond in the
following ways:
Restart All
Restart Radius/Tacacs
Reboot
No action

There is an event logging subsection also to add your email address and SMTP
server to send you an email when issues occur.


I remember using even earlier options of Cisco Secure and this option was
not available. The service would hang periodically and the only way to
restart it was in NT or 2k services utility. I believe Cisco added this
option as a kludge to get around customer having to do it manually whenever
Cisco Secure would lock up. It works. I do not know if they fixed those
types of problems in 3.X or the Service Management link is still included..

OT Microsoft Server help [7:55403]

2002-10-11 Thread jeff sicuranza

Hello all, I was wondering if any of the Microsoft experts out there can
help me out with this. I have a new server running windows 2k server all
service packs and critical updates installed. I have Agilent Advisor
protocol analyzer software edition installed. The server has two Broadcomm
gigabit Ethernet adapters. When I launch the software I can see both NDIS
adapters and select them for use.

My problem is as follows:
This server is a terminal server running in administration mode. When a
single terminal server client logs in and runs the Agilent protocol analyzer
software the Broadcomm adapters do not show up. The terminal server client
has administrative privileges and I also used the administrative Id as well.
I also tried all of the terminal server configurations options except
converting the terminal server to apps. mode. Am I missing something? Is
terminal server locking up the Broadcomm NDIS adapter’s resources? This
terminal server setup is only for one user at a time for a remote
educational lab. Etherpeek has the same problem yet a public domain protocol
analyzer using WINPCAP works fine.
Also, if I user VNC all apps and adapters work fine. I would rather deploy
terminal server for it is faster and crisper in viewing experience to the
students. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank…
