LMS v2.1 [7:57845]

2002-11-21 Thread richard beddow
I am currently configuring an LMS to manage a small number of 2950 and 3550
switches.  All appears ok except for one issue.  When i pull a cable and
bring a port down the GUI takes up to 5 minutes to update.  Traps are sent
and the polling period is down to 30 secs but the topology diagram still
does not update immediately.  Is there any way to have instant notification
of this (or any other) event?

Thanks in advance,

Filo.

Peter,

I have never seen this with PIM, can you provide mem and cpu utilisation
both with and without PIM running?

Re: PIM kills OSPF [7:29336]

2001-12-18 Thread richard beddow

Peter,

As this problem is resolved by removing either PIM or HSRP, it suggests it
may be a resource problem rather than any specific process or ptotocol. 
When the OSPF adjacency expires what is the state of HSRP and PIM,  i.e do
they still maintain their neighbour relationships?

Also what happens if you do not mix IOS versions i.e. run either 12.1 or
12.2 on both routers?

Regards,

RB.

2001-12-18 Thread richard beddow

Paul,

Peter is running sparse-dense so any mcast group without a configure RP will
be handled using dense mode.

Also we have I dentified that not only PIM is involved hear, OSPF and HSRP
also fails when all three are configured.

Peter,

Assuming the routers have enough resource, check by looking at CPU
utilisation and mem allocation ewhen problem occurs, I think you should log
this on CCO and see what Cisco say.

I have seen something a little similar on a 6509 running 12.2 IOS.  It was
also running HSRP , PIM Sparse-dense and OSPF, although the VLANs running
HSRP were passive OSPF interfaces.  The OSPF adjacencies just timed out but
it appeared to still be sending and receiving hello's.  It only happened
once during a 3 month acceptance test, we were unable to replicate it so
took it no further.

Please post any resolution,

RB.

RE: Mask in L3 Packet [7:29182]

2001-12-14 Thread richard beddow

The sending host uses its own address and mask to decide whether the
destination host is on the local subnet or not.  If not then the packet is
forwarded to the default gateway (unless the host is running dynamic
routing). When the packet reaches the router, the router checks the
destination IP against it's routing table and forwards it accordingly.

I have mist a stage or two out and not followed it through to delivery or
explored failure scenarious but I hope answered your question

Regards,

RB

Re: HSRP design [7:28982]

2001-12-13 Thread richard beddow

The load balacing of the VLANs is recommended best practice, however the RSM
does not have wire speed access to the backplane, it has two I/O ports
each one 200Mbps FDX(from memory). By default all odd VLANs are assigned to
the first port and all even VLANs to the second.  So if you have all even
VLANs supported on one switch, that RSM will only be using half of it's
throughput capability.  You can see the VLAN allocation by issuing the show
cont c5ip command.  After some initial queue stuff each VLAN is listed
along with the port it is assigned to.

To maximise the RSM capabilities you therfore have two choices

1. Split the odd and even VLANs over the two RSMs.

2. Reassign half of the VLANs in each RSM to the other I/O.

This of course is only an issue of you are likely to exceed 200Mbps
throughput.

RB.

RE: about multicast address! [7:29057]

2001-12-13 Thread richard beddow

An IP m'cast address is 32 bits long (as with any IP address), the first for
bits are 0x1110 leaving 28 bits. (Still with me :))

Any m'cast ethernet borne frame has a 48 bit MAC (as do all ethernet
frames).  A 25 bit prefix is assigned leaving 23 bits.

As 28 won't go into 23 there must be some duplication, there is a short fall
of five bits and 2 to the 5 is 32.   Hence and one m'cast MAC represents 32
IP addresses.

For instance

224.1.1.1
224.128.1.1
225.1.1.1
225.128.1.1
etc
etc
238.1.1.1
238.128.1.1
239.1.1.1
239.128.1.1

are all allocated a MAC of 0100.5e01.0101.

Hope this is explained OK.

Re: HSRP design [7:28982]

2001-12-13 Thread richard beddow

Mike,

DMA channels are indeed the I/O's ports I refered to, but I couldn't
remember what they were called (each time I learn something new , something
old falls out the other end).

I came across this about three years ago while setting up a multicast
network and experiencing throughput problems, IOS was 112-13_P(1).  It looks
like Cisco have changed the allocation method, what IOS are you running?

Re: HSRP design [7:28982]

2001-12-13 Thread richard beddow

If you want to load share the VLANs and provide resilience using HSRP both
RSMs need to have an interface configured in every VLAN.

Also I would not use VLAN 1 for data as this VLAN cannot be removed from a
trunk and so propergates everywhere.

It looks like IOS has randomly generated a MAC of .5e03.6100 which
suggests to me it has found a work around itself.  This should be fine for a
home lab.

I've re-read the original message and I am now not sure what you have done. 
Just to clarify, this command should be executed on the router you are
telneted too, not the one you've telneted from. Sorry of this is obvious but
I am not sure by the question.

 I.E.  Isn't it a correct statement to say: FastEthernet is
 capable of a total throughput of 200Mbps?  I believe it is.

Mike,

If you trully beleive this then I fear your are destined for that dark place
which is marketing.  Ok it is not incorrect but does not give the full
picture.

Getting back to the original question I beleive it is possible to run 2Mbps
full duplex across a serial link.  The restriction you quote I think may be
something to do with the ISP SLA.

OK two for and two against, who will swing the vote.

Re: Serial links [7:28270]

2001-12-07 Thread richard beddow

Mike,

I have three final comments then I think enough has been said.

1. Ethernet has always been a half duplex standard until recent times, FDX
operation is always quoted therefore to make the distinction from the default.

2. Serial lines, however, since the late seventies-early eighties have been
by default a full duplex offering.  Therefore FDX is assumed unless
otherwise stated.

3. My comments were not ment to offend but supposed to be funny.  Humour on
a forum such as this is often missread and I should have learnt my leason
along time ago but I just can't help it.

Charles do you have your answer???

RE: enquiry on 5505 switch optical fibre port [7:28258]

2001-12-06 Thread richard beddow

Sim,

To show the status of the ports you need to use the show port command. 
This can be issued on it'e own and will list all ports in the chassis; or
with a module number i.e. show po 2 to show all ports on that slot; or
with a single port number sh po 2/1.  As far as I am aware Gigports on
supervisor modules are the same as any other in that the ports on the stanby
can be used but I have not checked the 5.1(1) release notes.  A quick check
would be to connect them back to back i.e. 2/1 to 2/2.

As far as adding more supervisors, two things would put me off doing this.

1.  This is the most expensive way of adding more ports and I'm not a
shareholder.

2.  You don't have anymore slots available in the chassis.

Hope this helps.

Filo.

Michael,

Is this so??

If so then it is not full-duplex but half-duplex.  So why then do cisco say
this:

The NM-4T serial network module has four synchronous serial interfaces. The
network module supports a total full-duplex throughput of 8 megabits per
second (Mbps),

on this data sheet:
