RE: Please Help - CIDR - How the bits work [7:75050]

2003-09-10 Thread Stephen Skinner
BLIMEY !!!

this is getting a little heated L+G`s .

i personally believe that when i got my CCNA if i had been asked to 
configure BGP (even Basic) on an internet connecting router for a 
small-medium sized company...i would have run away screaming...

Ask yourselfs this there are three grade`s of Certifications at cisco

Associate
Profesisional
Expert

from a company manager`s point-of-view (no offence fred)

Whom would you prefer be touching your internet facing router ...

yes i am aware that to most of us they don`t mean tuppence (i.e howard/pris)
but the plan truth is people NOT in the know rely on the badges

Hi ,

i still think it`s the link..i have been told loads of times links are 
fine but they arn`t get THEM to run and END-to-END test...

500 leased linesHellthat`s a lot of leased lines

i don`t know of any single cisco device with 500 serial interfacess..
( and yes i am  aware of ways round that ...bit i am going on what he has

Re: Help with huge amount of Input/Frame and some CRC errors [7:21657]

2001-10-02 Thread Stephen Skinner

symon...

sorryi am  asleep


i don`t like the amount of interface resets you are getting...


can you clear counters and watch the amount you are gettingon both 
sides..

int resets cum from the line bieng dropped (g703/line)

i have smds/leased lines and you should not get ANY int resets on a good 
line.

the last time i had this problem it was the BT CSU/DSU that was at fault

that FUNNY you know ...al the BT CSU/DSU (for there 2 meg leased) have an 
X21 port built in

you could also try swapping  the ints (S0-S1)on both sides to see if that 
makes a difference...

Is this a new install??

it IS possible that the G703 converter is stuffedwe use BlackBox 
ones...and they SHOULD work straight out of the box...

Re: Help with huge amount of Input/Frame and some CRC errors [7:21649]

2001-10-02 Thread Stephen Skinner

in your config 

what is your LMI.(autosence)

have you set the encapsulation command on the int`s

see this link

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/wan_c/wcdfrely.htm#xtocid221854



input errors usually mean that there is some kind of encap error...(int 
doesn`t understand the packet/frame it`s recieving)

hi,

with my new found knowledge on this subject...

why don`t you load share your HSRP by using the
standby preempt and standby track commands..then simply connect the other 
ethernet interface to the other switch running HSRP ...job done...

RE: policy route [7:21044]

2001-09-26 Thread Stephen Skinner

i have to diasgreeevery 3 secs a pulse is sent from the active to 
standby.even if you have a route connected to your standbywhen 
thestandby gets any routed packets HSRP (which is layer 1/2) will send 
it to the active master..this wil then route the packets accordingly...

i`m told ther is a way around this but you will have to search the 
archives...it was only a couple of weeks ago

Re: Can I configure 2 leased line for single channel ? [7:21147]

2001-09-26 Thread Stephen Skinner

not as far as i am aware

What you COULD do ..is set them up as seperate lines ...and then run 
eigrp/ospf betweeen them ...this will load balance the lines..

you could just upgrade your one line to 256k...also

but there is no serial "etherchannel" varient..

you can do it with isdn using dialer channel`s

the L3 module is a MSFC/RSM this is either a daughterboard on the supervisor

basically they are a 2600 router on a card

Re: I want some help about this 504 questions [7:20767]

2001-09-25 Thread Stephen Skinner

i see where you are cominbg from my friend

i believe you are correct on Q2 but incorrect on Q1

if the packets are perfectly formed they will be transported through the 
internetwork..

but as Q1 says

"would cause broadcast
>traffic to be contained within the physical segment?"

from a physical standpoint it is correct..if the gateway you  are sending 
frames to dosent understand those frame it will drop them

"Host interface is constantly sending frame fragments
Host interface is constantly sending frames with CRC errors"

these hosts are basically sending garbage to the gateway and as such the 
gateway won`t know what to do with them ..so it will drop them ..

all brodcast igmp and icmp request`s aslong as properly formatted will 
traverse the internet ok 

yes there are ways and means around this but from the point of view of the 
questionQ1 is correct

Anyone Else ?.

Re: SNMP index numbering [7:19866]

2001-09-17 Thread Stephen Skinner

hi,

according to our NNM ...it Does do that with Sub-int ,port-channels and 
loopback...it just treats them as ordinary interfaces...

on one of our msm it says port channel1.5 is if index 9...we have other 
int`s

this will try and cheer everyone up...or i will never be spoken [7:19920]

2001-09-14 Thread Stephen Skinner

thingsd are getting a bit heavy on the list ...and i am trying to releave 
some of the tension felt by our list brothers...

PLEASE i am not making light of the situation..

just trying to help...in my own way

===
i was recently selling someone some equipment ...and the guy is NOt very 
computer litarate..(atleast he can spell)...

and he asked about a warranty...


i said 1 week return to Base

he said "Ohhh.." and sounded quite dissapointed

and i said "if that no goodwe could go for 2 day RTB.."

he again said

Ohhh sounding really very dissapointed ...

so i gave in and asked what wrong

he said" i was hopeing for atleast a year warrenty on the equipment"..

i looked at him funny then realised what he said ...and had to explain 
to him that the warranty was for a year ..this is just the turn around for 
repair`s...

the guy looked very happy ...and i continued talking for 10 mins before i 
realised what he said and spent the next two hours trying not to cry with 
laughter( i know it`s not his fault it`s just no-one has ever said  
that to me before...i suppose it makes sence ,,)



later (this was last week)  i told a collugue this and he didn`t understand 
why i found it funny..

2 hrs later ...he rang me up laughing...because he could see the logic in 
what he saidand agin found it funny...

Ahh Well

and yes we will be observing a 3 minute silence at 11:00 am today...


Thanks and my prayers go with you

steve

Re: Dual FIFO? [7:19691]

2001-09-13 Thread Stephen Skinner

the only thing i could find was this

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/788/voice-qos/voip-ov-fr-qos.pdf

which says

"Turn on fragmentation for low speed links (less than 1.5Mbps).
Set the fragment size so voice packets are not fragmented and do not 
experience a serialization delay greater than 20 ms.

Lowest Link Speed in Path Recommended Fragmentation Size

56Kbps 70 bytes
64Kbps 80 bytes
128Kbps 160 bytes
256Kbps 320 bytes
512Kbps 640 bytes
768Kbps 1000 bytes
1536Kbps 1600 bytes

Note: For 1536 Kbps, no fragmentation is technically needed, but 
fragmentation is needed to enable the dual first-in, first-out
(FIFO) queueing system to ensure voice quality. A fragment size of 1600 
bytes enables the dual FIFO, but since 1600 bytes is
higher than the typical serial interface maximum transmission unit (MTU), 
large data packets are not fragmented.

from what it says it`s just multple "stack" queue

sorry i can`t be of more help..

Cheers

RE: I have a customer who... food for thought - static routes [7:18322]

2001-09-03 Thread Stephen Skinner

Hi,

sorry i missed this ,but i wanted to comment anyway.


i have had the same situ recently working on a project in the UK.

we also used static routes/dialer commands simply because of this .

we had a spate of recent laptop/desktop theft`s and people were trying to 
get to our network after stealing these boxes.

now that we have changed it so that once you call and try to authentciate we 
simply set our boxes to dial back a fixed number and use a fixed ip address 
...

it`s sounds like overkill ...but it`s the only way to be sure...

MY Tu`pence

Hello,

i don`t mean to be rude but i think the reason the gentleman replyed the 
way he did was because way you posed your question was to say

" i`m to busy ...you lot do it for me"

now i personal believe that that is not the case and you were simply asking 
(as i do all the time) for some assistance in this subject matter.

unfortunatly i don`t have an answer to your question but also require info 
on tacacs+so please don`t be afraid to pass on what you may learn

on the subject ...

another good search engine is the cisco/google engine

http://cisco.google.com/cisco

i have found this very helpfull in "pointing me in the right direction"..

it will usually find a page that is in the general topic and i can search 
around from there to find what i really want...

someone on the list passed this on to me some time ago .( nice chap

Re: Frame Relay - slow link? overutilized? [7:14163]

2001-07-30 Thread Stephen Skinner

Hi

"5 minute input rate 1000 bits/sec, 1 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 1000 bits/sec, 1 packets/sec
 4243911 packets input, 2199323988 bytes, 0 no buffer

according to your config you have a 4-wire CSU/DSU 64k max DDS line ..
and you are using active clocking ( recieved from the line)...

what`s the config like at the central site end

the serial line has a 1.544 meg bandwidth statement on it ...
as a matter of course change this to 64k with the bandwidth statement...

from what i can GUESS it looks like a config mis-match .because your 
getting Input/CRC/Frame errors ...

the input errors concerns me ...simply meaning that one-end (remote or 
central) is sending a different encaped frame...

first and foremost this is not good ..your bandwidth is low

1 packet per second is NOTHING...but you are getting way to many CRC , 
Ignored,Input Errors


please let US know about the other end...

Re: Question about fast switching and layer 3 switching [7:13962]

2001-07-27 Thread Stephen Skinner

Hi,

what you said is almost correct ...

Proccess/Fast/Distributed/Packet switching are all layer 2 functions..

>From the CCO

Fast switching allows higher throughput by switching a packet using a cache 
created by the initial packet sent to a particular destination.
"this is all done at layer 2"

Destination addresses are stored in the high-speed (switching)cache to 
expedite forwarding. Routers offer better packet-transfer performance when 
fast switching is enabled. Fast switching is enabled by default on all 
interfaces that support fast switching.

layer 3 switching differs from this by having the first packet sent to the 
router (which routes the packet to the correct outgoing port ..this is a 
more efficent way of finding destinations than switching ,...switching 
envolves looking at a  singular table or flooding -leaveing out CEF on 
purpose-)
it then stores this info in the cache and all following/Same destination 
packets are switched using info in the cache...

i have read somewhere that is 4-9 times faster to switch a packet than to 
route one so this gives us an increase in throughput via "intelligent 
switching"-my own term

please don`t quote me on the 4-9 times bit ...but it IS defenatly faster to 
switch ..

HTH

RE: vpn speed [7:13499]

2001-07-24 Thread Stephen Skinner

Chaps,

i`m sorry i have to butt in here ...

the young man in question did say he had TWO 64k links .giving him an 
"aggreagte" of 128k...

also i have to agree and disagree( it not easy bieng me you know) about the 
line speed 

yes with Dial you only get 64k and that`s it but i HAVE downloaded files a 
LOT FASTER than that..

let me explain .

at 5am on wednesdsay morning i, on my dial-up started to download a 
fileTo my utter surprise the file download box was saying 100k a second 
(that is of course impossible)..it then slowed to a hum-drum 30k a second 
.download time 8 mins.

i tryed the same file again at 6pm (deleted original by mistake... DOH) and 
this time i got a lesuirely 5k per sec download time 40mins..

I can`t (be bothered to) explain it ...

but it just goes to show ..never believe the download box ...

" the truth is out there"...STOP THE SERIES...IT`S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT 
THEM

Re: Source Quench [7:12477]

2001-07-16 Thread Stephen Skinner

Hi,

The Source-Quench message comes from a server when it`s buffers are unable 
to process all the info bieng sent to it..

this usually means that the nt is set for 100/Full - the switch is set for 
100/full for the nt box , but the UX box (and its switch port)is only set 
for 10/half ...usually the switch is aet to auto .

without any special processing on the switch it will just send as many 
packets out of one port that it recieve`s from another...

check the settings on both servers and make sure there the same...

then try agian ...

happens to me all the time.and the server guys INsist it`s the network

Howdy chaps

this is all good but i have a question

Router B sends update directly to Router A specifying 4 networks Router B

HOWusing what .

does it use the hello protocol..does it send it back to the multicast 
address

is there something in the packet format to recognise on router from another 
if were using the multicast address ??

if you could just point me in the right direction...i would be most

Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAI

RE: EIGRP and IGRP network discovery [7:11273]

2001-07-11 Thread Stephen Skinner

OK,

i am going out on a limb here ,but i am going to try and answer the 
questionor atleast redefine it..

the originall question was

"how does E-IGRP discover networks"

well

first what do we mean by networks.

"networks are just routers with configured ports" ... i suppose

so...
we could say of networks...that the router  discovers networks by the use of 
the neibghour discovery proccess

WHY.we`ll the only way a router can find out about different networks is 
from other routers.or neighbours..

so it will get networks info  from the update it recieves form other 
routers...
from the white paper

"To distribute routing information throughout a network, EIGRP uses 
non-periodic incremental routing updates. That is, EIGRP only sends routing 
updates about paths that have changed when those paths change.
"

this would explain WHAT happens but HOW...or more precisely..what does 
iti have been unable to find out...

PLEASE ..NO FLAMES.NONE OF THIS IS SET IN STONE..i am just trying to 
find the answer to what is a tricky question

please add to this one day we find an answer

changing the VTP domain does NOT change the revision number

adding a vlan does .. change the rev

i then RESET my system and low and behold...

2001-07-09 Thread Stephen Skinner

goof.

the problem i am trying to indicate (badly) is this .when the cisco switch 
process`s the command "vtp rev 0" (yeah,i know that no the command.but 
hey)...the logical order of proccessing in the IOS(not your config) is to 
check the config/memory for any vlan info  if the switch comes across 
this info it makes a change to what it calls the "active vlan`s" and updates 
it`s rev number 
"as of catos 4.5.1"

the only way to have a rev number of 0 stay 0 is to not have any vlan info 
on it or not activate vtp ...as is told on the BSCN course 

if you don`t want to have your new/additional switch add/overrite your 
vlan`s ,clear the vlan info and set it to transparent

i don`t have a 55/65 handy but if anyone does please try it (unless 
ofcourse they have changed the ios again)

this was all passed onto my by a TAC SE in cisco before he was saked

Hm...i may well be wrong then

Re: newbie moron question [7:11488]

2001-07-09 Thread Stephen Skinner

hi,

YES ,this is a stupid question (I`M ONLY KIDDING)...the only stupid question 
is one you don`t ask,,,


the Cisco boxes run IOS " internetworking operating system" ,this is based 
around unix( it`s has to be very effcient,small and robust

windows i`m afraid ,just won`t cut the mustard.

it is not "compatible" with any operationg systems..as such ,but it 
understands TCP/IP,IPX,NETbeui,appletalk,NBT..

so it can work with most device`s ( in a moving information capacity from 
one pc to another local/Remote pc (switching) and making intelligent (???) 
decisions as to how to get one piece of info from one place to another 
(routing) OR bieng told how to do this manually by humans(static routing) 
...

the ios is command line only( sort ofyou can by GUI packages that will 
help you configure them i.e Cisco config maker (good for low end devices) 
and CNS good for most devices)

but i would say that it is command line ONLY  because you`ll be spending 
most of your time there anyway...we all do..

most boxes run either a motorolo 68X00series chip or nowadays the risc power 
pc chips and have NVram as storage ...

Re: Cisco 5505 switch puzzle [7:11335]

2001-07-09 Thread Stephen Skinner

chaps,

what is happeneing is a loop.

when you config in a VTP rev of 0 ,the processing of this command causes a 
fresh lookup of all vlan info relevant to vlan`s in the routers memeory...

( PLEASE don`t pick to many pieces in this ...i just outlining the problem 
,and have a VERY shakey recolection of bieng told this once...also it`s 
the way the cisco ios proccesess commands)

seeing vlan info in the memeory/config it recognises this as a change and 
updates the VTP rev..(if in server mode)

causing a change to be sent to your server switch s2 overwriting it`s config 
,causing a rev update ,causing an update to be sent to s1

and thus casuing the great VTP "chain of life".

the first answer you recieved forkmk nigel is right "again as far as i can 
remeber"..

CID design examples [7:11466]

2001-07-09 Thread Stephen Skinner

guys,

see if you can help me with a senario i am working on for the exam

8 routers

a,b running HSRP connected to eachother and c,d via 100 meg ethernet

c,d Runiing connected to eachother and a,b via 100 meg ethernet

c,d connected to e,f via frame relay

c is primary frame

d is backup ...NO load balancing atall


g,h running HSRP connected to eachother and c,d via 100 meg ethernet

e,f running ethernet  to eachother and c,d via 100 meg ether

e,f running frame relay to c,d

primary frame c,e backup frame d,f

the 8 routers are split over 2 sites

eigrp is running on a,b,c,d,e,f

ospf is running on e,f,g,h

Q1 various sets of router (a,b and g,h) can advertise various routes to 
multiple routers (ab to c and d) (gh to e and f) thus the possiblilty of 
routing loops (on LAN) could occour how can i stop this...



i have more questions but i will post them one at a time..

i have encluded a BMP file on this email with the design in it

CID-How many routers in an area [7:11240]

2001-07-07 Thread Stephen Skinner

guys,

i am about to sit the CID (AGAIN) and have a question

how many routers are allowed in an ospf area (max)

i have seen 100 on the boson tests 42 in some cisco docs and 50 on the 
CCo "designing ospf networks2

any idea which one the test wants


cheers

steve

Re: Weird VPN issue [7:11055]

2001-07-05 Thread Stephen Skinner

mark,

i know this is a dopey question but ...first things first if you can 
move the user files

i also recommend never having user files on any DC`s( even thought this 
isn`t always possible)

as for the problem...( not knowing much about pix)

you have two choices

1.)its and access-list,permission`s problem on the pixas somone said 
could be a wrong subnet mask

2.) it`s a licence issue on the NT server ...

i would personally move the files first and then check the pix for config 
typo`s ...

HTH

2001-07-02 Thread Stephen Skinner

A...

that old debate ( i am waiting for howard to comment )

but as far as your answer is consernced ..it`s distance vector HYBRID

a lot of the instructor`s i know read it like this .

EIGRP is based on IGRP ...so it`s distance vector...
EIGRP behave`s like a link state protocol ..so it`s link state
EIGRP is cisco`s own ...uses the best of both world`s ...so it`s a HYBRID
and should really have it`s own clssification

BUT

according to the designer`s (i`m told) it IS a distance vector 
protocol..With extensions

in the exam`s (lets keep this relevant to why were here ..and no i don`t 
mean on the planet just the list)...it will be classified on the exam as 
distance vector...

HTHpplease don`t flame me.Awww go on then if it makes you 
happy

Re: Proposed Network Design [7:10494]

2001-07-02 Thread Stephen Skinner

Sammi,

if it was me ( and yes an cisco co`s in the uk i AM looking for a network 
designers role)

first i would chuck your 2900`s and put in 3548xl`s ..( if you havent 
already bought them)

also i take it (silly question) that you have LINE Of SIGHT for your 
aironets and that also you are aware of any enviromental issues (such as 
mobile phone towers/power stations)that are close-by...

There no point in responding if you have ...this is just a general reminder

as for dhcp  i never put my servers on dhcp to-many complications

also you seem to have gone for the distributed server model 

Where will you Domain server`s be .will all the server be domain 
server`s or will some be app only

think about the replication traffic between the servers in each vlan (i 
presume hut)

also the more vlans for server`s you have ...the more switching that needs 
to be done .make sure MLS is enabled on your G.
also are you sure arionet can handle the amount of traffic .can you get 
some kit and build a mini-lab first...?

sorry i can`t seem to get your diag which would really help to look at


sorry but thinking some more about this i want to know why you have so many 
Vlan`s

H

i really need to look at your diag ...can yo u post it 2 me 

so i can have a good look

cheers steve

Re: Theoretical vs. Actual Bandwidth - Refining the Question [7:10088]

2001-06-27 Thread Stephen Skinner

i think if were bieng honest there is NO answer to this question...

EACH lan is different
EACH wan is different

and to come up with a hard and fast rule to cover everyone is impossible..

there are so many variables to take into account

how many routes are you advertising to how many people
how big is the mtu
how big is the header
how much is taken up with call connection/teardown
are you using hub-and-spoke
are you using multipoint,NBMA,point-to-point

ALL of these factors will be different for every wan you work on...

i can`t say " oh 15% will be used in my wan"..this might not be the case...


you have to just take each network as it comes...

read all the info ...do you maths and go from there

RE: OSPF Hub and Spoke [7:9268]

2001-06-22 Thread Stephen Skinner

Guys,

lets see how my ospf is going ..

in this design goal i would have thought you would have done this 


hub and spokeat the hub you have say 1 router (3620) with one interface 
and 20 sub-interfaces...

you also have 20 totally stubby area`s which connect into the hub...

config each stub as area 1 through 20

setup each sub int as per area`s 1-20

then setup the lan int as area 0

this way you have one router (hub) which is in area 0  and all the other 
area`s aswell

problem solved ..


something tells me i`ve just either

A got it right and am a genius
B completely missed the point and broken every rule of ospf


YOU DECIDE

RE: A post in alt.certification.cisco all should read [7:9286]

2001-06-21 Thread Stephen Skinner

you know,

what makes me smile is that everyone seems to thinking this is a good 
idea...NO

let me see..on the current lab you have one day to build it and one day 
to fix it.which day do we believe they will drop

the first is the most obvious...which means


you walk in on day one to a blind network and have to fix it to get a 
pass...

you get A sheet of paper telling you what this network is SUPPOSED to be..

Anyone had to do that before??... i have and i know to go from NEVER 
seeing a network to running at full speed to fix it and in one day is 
not easy.it`s harder..much harder...

scared i can smell it

Peter,


i know how you feel,...

OK...i accept your responce WAS abit OTT ,and prephaps you could have gone 
abit lighter on the dude..

BUT .i dont believe that people should go behind your back.

HELL..we are suppossed to be adults...and i believe that if someone 
thinks you are wrong they should say so  ...TO YOUR FACE AND everyone SHOULD 
be ready to accept what comments are given... i have said thing on the list 
which are wrong ...people have corrected me and people have corrected the 
people who said i was wrong...

include it on the list... fine ...that way IF and i do mean IF you want 
a second opinion you can get one.

in the 2 years i have been watching and contributing to this list i have 
seen EVERYONE ...Ahmm not be as polite as one should be in public society

i think of most of these people on this list as my  peers/Seniors

i accept the critisism of my seniors and peers alike.even if it is with 
their tounges firmly in there cheek


you accept it..like you do at work .like you do from your 
friendsrememeber NONE of it is given with MALICE/ARROGANCE

there is an easyier way for this not to happen to anyone

always put at the end of the mail (I THINK).then people say "Ahhh.. i 
believe you are wrong" not "Your a moron for saying that"

also .

i think you have said this ...but make sure that on the switches

TX on A - RX on B
RX on B - TX on A

i think you have done this 

or

turn on portfast ...

make sure you have just standard trunking on if on side neg and one off 
...could case probs...

i don`t think any of these could be causing the problems 

try changing the cable also move the gbic to the other port and try 
again

but if you int is coming up .it could be spanningtree or something along 
those lines

Hi


this is something i just don`t understand..i have worked with cisco for 
2 years + and have recently passed my NP...what i dont understand is how 
people can claim to pass 4 exam`s in 2 weeks ..

i have to work for a living and i just don`t have the time to study 10 hours 
a day

So OK i passed all 4 NP first time in 3mths.the CCDA took 2 attempts
the CCNA V1/V2 was also a first time pass.
the CCIE written tokk also 2 attempts


but i still don`t see how it can be done..in such a small time frame

i now several CCIE`s who are very active in the industry who i have 
instructed about different technologys...so it not as if i a suffering from 
lack of expsosure

WHAT IS YOUR SECRET??  please pass it on

Re: Checking the IOS [7:8693]

2001-06-15 Thread Stephen Skinner

do a "show Ver" on the router ...this will give you the image name

IOS (tm) C6MSM Software (C6MSM-IN-M), Version 12.0(4a)WX5(11),  RELEASE 
SOFTWARE


then search under the CCO for in this instance "  12.0(4a)WX5(11),"

it will bring you back some docs relating to

OR

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/FeatureNav/FN.pl

CCO login required

select release ,and then type in the image name you got when you typed
"dir flash:"

as you can see it depends on your budget .

i use hpopenview all day as it flags up devices/office/ospf area`s going 
down ..and can do some real-time int stats(nice graph).also logging of

also concord nethealth...good for telling me what has happened...can tell 
say ,,,cpu utilization on a router for the last 12/24H..t
up to weeks...gives graph...

if you can`t stretch to that use solarwinds( some good tools for small

i do have one question .

how do you run.

"a gre tunnel between sites across an isp network" over an ethernet

explain the tunnel) ... you would be looking at a serial int not a ethernet

"the show int f0/0 commands"

2001-06-12 Thread Stephen Skinner

deferred ..as far as i can remember that means either one of two things

you interface is not working properly (joke)...

the packets are defered because thet cannot be put onto the output buffer of 
the interface (sort-of)this has meant to me in the past either  corrupt 
memeory/ios or a not enough memory.in one extreme case it also meant 
swapping the memory in one of my 36`s

check your buffers (I should coco)
and see if your getting any "misses" and also any "failures"
if you are getting them on anything quite high (this can depend on how long 
the routers have been up to how many logged errors your getting) apart from 
your middle buffers (normal) you may be going in the right direction...me

RE: Bandwidth Testing and Monitoring [7:8088]

2001-06-12 Thread Stephen Skinner

not to sure if this will help,

but i use a tool call solarwindsin it it has a tool call bandwidth 
monitor...

aslong as the device has SNMP turned on it will tell you the overall 
bandwidth bieng used...Realtime

as to finding out if your "let`s say" 256k cir is actually a 256k cir ...the 
only way i know of finding this out is by pushing the link to its fullist...

you could interogate the CSU/DSU and do a "show controllers"

apart from that you could possible buy "Net-sys" toll analysis

yes they will be fine 

all that MPLS is (from a config point of view ,and i know this is not 
strictly correct BUT)

an addition to tag switching using traffic engineering ,QOS COS,RSVP,and 
other Extensions.the basic switching is still the same...that`s why the 
commands are the same,its just cisco has exteneded the commands and extended

Re: OSPF over NBMA [7:7941]

guys,

i use a multipoint connections ...these are no different from ordinary 
connections  ...they can just accept multiple network`s

we have mulitple ospf area`s ...also have multiple class A`s all terminating 
at these multipoint int`s

also when i said cost i meant the cost of having 10 point to point leased 
lines connecting to 10 router int`s (central office) and one each at the 
remote ( yeah i know you would never do it but using sub-ints saves you a 
lot of money. i would need a 3660 int the central office without 
sub-ints and a 3620 with )

but agian you are right about the frame stuff

Re: OSPF scenario [7:7605]

2001-06-11 Thread Stephen Skinner

Brian,

sorry i took so long getting back to you

i have read your naswer and understand what you are sayingand yes your 
right...(sorry i got a bit confused with the wording)

i have been looking into this but am unable to find an answer as to why one 
ASBR (your right that`s what there called) uses the RIP route and ine uses 
the OSPF (re-dist rip route).i now ospf will prefur and INTRA area route to 
an INTER but that rule dosen`t apply..it just doesn`r make sence why one 
router would choose one route one-time and then not another...

thanks for the brainteeser thought .i will look up somemore

Re: OSPF over NBMA [7:7941]

2001-06-11 Thread Stephen Skinner

one other thing no-one has seemed to say is cost

point to point requires a point to point link (i.e 2 interfaces)
Full Mesh

point to multipoint requires 1 and X (x bieng how many remote sites you 
have).
Star topology

E.G

we have 40 remotes sites . running anything form 128k to 4 meg and we have 2 
multipoint 10 meg int`s at the central side

saves time money and configs

Re: OSPF scenario [7:7605]

2001-06-11 Thread Stephen Skinner

Hi
i don`t mean to be rude but ,for r1 and r3 to get to the ethernet 
segment,you will have to go throught rip...??



>I had originally thought that both of the ASBR's would choose the OSPF 
>route
>to the ethernet segment between the 2 routers running only RIP, since the

R4 and R5 are only running rip ...yes.
so how do you get to the ethernet segment between them Via an ospf path if 
the are only running RIP???

the rip path will be advertised as an OSPF E2 path ..yes...
so there is NO rip path.there are only OSPF paths...that is what 
re-distribution does right...?

HELP. i am confused


>What ends up happening is one of the ASBR's uses the OSPF route and the
>other one uses the RIP route, dependancy upon which one comes to full first
>will use the RIP route, and the other one will use the OSPF route.

THERE is no ospf route..R4 and R5 are using RIP you can`t get to the 
ethernet segment via ospf only rip .

you can go VIA a Re-distributed route but it`s a RIP re-distributed 
route not ospf...

what i mean is

the route to r4 and r5 is re-dis into ospf via rip 
r2 wants to get to the ether-link ...
it uses the re-dist rip route andvertised via ospf...

yes it`s an ospf route BUT it came from RIP..

so what do you mean ...?

i thought i knew OSPF but you have confused me totally..

if i need help understanding this please help

goto the port that is connected to your router

telnet into switch and

set trunk (mod/port) (on/off/desirble/auto) (vlan`s) (type) e.g

set trunk 3/4 on 1-1005 isl

then on router ...

int E0.1

Re: CAT5509 [7:7701]

2001-06-08 Thread Stephen Skinner

Hi,

this may well be a second post...Sorry

there is one of 3 things you can do 

first goto www.cisco.com/support/bugtools (cco required)

use "Bug navigator II" to find out if you have a bug.

second.take any error messages you may have in your log related to this 
(just the main error message not the description) and do a search under the 
main cisco web-site...this may be of use...

third ,log a call with your support contractor and get them to send you a 
replacment RSM

if you don`t have a support contract you can do one of two things

1. ask the list if they can sell you a support contract...
2. ask the list (again) if they can sell u a new RSM

you`ll probably find either on the list as these guys are usally very 
helpfull

HTH

Re: CAT5509 [7:7701]

2001-06-08 Thread Stephen Skinner

hi,

you can do one of three things...

first goto the bug navigator and type in your ios/hardware/etc.etc and find 
out if there is any bugs
http://www.cisco.com/support/bugtools   (CCO login required)

second cut and paste any error messages in the log into the search windows 
on the cisco front page and press search
this is actually quite good ..(no need to put in the comments just the 
mainpart of any errors)

third just log a call with your support center and get them to send you 
out a replacement for your (Suspected)faulty part .if you don`t have a 
support contract you also have 2 options.

1) ask the list someone will probably be able to sell you a contract
2) ask the list (again) someone will be able to SELL you a RSM.

apart from that passs

HTH steve

first goto the "bug navigator"

Re: Layer3 switch vs Router [7:7406]

2001-06-07 Thread Stephen Skinner

Jason,


the real answer to your questions is this.

first why do we use layer 3 devices..
well MAINLY for intervlan routing,,,we are all agreed...yes

then ,
we migh have these two different setup`s. a 6500 with an internal MSFC 
on a sup 2G...
and
a 6500 with an external router ...a 3620..with GBIC and 32 meg if ram(base 
spec)

AGGREED

the only real difference is.latency...and space

YES i know the specs don`t equate BUT i am answering his question...

in a perfect world both setup`s would be identical ...if that was the case 
then
1. you need more space having 2 seperate devices...
2. you will suffer from a slight speed differnce with the msfc sending info 
over the cat`s inbuilt backplane..3 gig and you sending info over the 1 gig 
link form switch to external router...this is ALL...

forget packets/bytes/bits per secondthis is where your speed 
in/decreases are seen .

SO if your asking this question because managment want to know WHY they 
should by a 6500 and msfc .

i hope that answers your question.

steve( i`ve been more char-grilled.(because of this responce) than a BK 
Flamer)

Re: Cisco moving to a one day lab? [7:6735]

2001-06-04 Thread Stephen Skinner

.PICTURE THE SCENE...

it`s 8.30am your palms are sweating so much you try and pull open the 
door of the cisco building your hands slips of the rail and you land smack 
on your rump.a man walks past trying not to laugh with the words " Cisco 
Proctor " emblazoned on a badge pinned to his jacket...

BAD START

you at last walk through the door and attempt to speak your name to the 
receptionist ...who replies.. i don`t have a cuuuccc 
laarieee on my listso you write it down ..she smiles 
back "oh !chuck ..." she says the smile becomes a frown ,becomes a look 
of horror as she see`s CCIE LAB ...written next to you name .and points 
you in the direction of the coffeethere you run into me..Barking at 
the moon shaped light ( WAY too much caffeine)..and cast your eyes on the 
other sleep deprived (half mad) students all talking in ios commands .. 
a man runs up to you and says " THERE CAN`T BE ANY IPX ON THE LAB CAN 
THERE..CAN THERE" and promptly passes out ,mumblings something about how 
stupid the tic is suddenly you cheer-up.heyif everyone else is 
this bad i should be fine..and proceed to guzzle 2 pints of Red-bull

...just then the proctor strolls out..(GIT ...you think he`s already 
passed the exam..)

GENTLEMENjust a quick note ...the lab is now scheduled for one 
daythe plus side to this is that you`ll know by tonight if you have 
passed ...the bad news is that you now have 3 hours to build and 
configure the network...( impossible you think,and you would be right)...1 
hour for lunch and 4 hours to fix what i did to your network ...as 
he turns he says..." yesterday i ended a long-term relationship and i`m in a 
VERY bad mood".to which news i stop howling and start crying ...everyone 
else simply picks up there bags and says " Rollocks!" ...and 
leaves...what you do now is up to you 


But i hardly think that something as simple as a one day lab is worth 
worrying about ...Hey its only the rest of your life.

Re: low-end layer3 Catalyst [7:7093]

2001-06-04 Thread Stephen Skinner

in answer to your question ..there really isnt one...

the 3100 does layer 2 and 3 switching but doesn`t have a REAL  ios ...so no 
good...

then you have a choice of
2948-LG3
3550-T12
4908-LG3


ALL of these are expensive ...i was quoted 6K(US) 4.5k (UK) for the 
29.the rest i don`t want to hazard a guess

anyone else???

Re: Problem with home network [7:6922]

2001-06-04 Thread Stephen Skinner

paul,

you may just have been looking at a faulty hub.i`ve seen some strange 
things  with hubs.like being able to ping your gateawy but not bieng 
able to ping yourself(not loopback).here`s a good test.plug the hub back 
in with everything live...5 `ll get ya 10 it works fine...(don`t switch 
anything off..just plug the hub into the mains and then move the network 
cables)i recon it will work fine

there is really no technical (DONT SHOOT,list) answer for this..it`s not a 
bug in the hub/ethernet protocol or anything it just happens...
Windows crahses.hubs don`t like changes (bieng switched on or off)

Re: backup plan for a campus [7:7052]

2001-06-04 Thread Stephen Skinner

Howdy

answer 1..Do it properly.(if have the money)...

i have always recommnded duplicate everything down to the ios image for 
redundency(get another 6509 and run HSRP on it)

answer 2we can`t afford a proper network .(make sure when the 
backup kicks in .that you are not responsible for the SLOW 
network.i.e you told them so)

i would do this


get a 4006 not a expensive as a 6509 but SHOULD do the job ...setup with 
slightly higher spantre prioity ...will feed of 65 and should take over 
quite quickly
next buy a seperate 2600 and runn HSRP over the ethernet link between them 
.(REMEBER we are talking Redundency)... you could put a second E card in 
the 26 but you would not be able to "call"... it redundent...and besides 
YOU willl take the rap if the company hits the wall.(let me tell you a 
story)

once apon a time there was a man who was given a spec to build a network 
with full redundency...the spec he put togother cost WAY to much and 
need severly cutting down...he told them not to do it but they ordered 
him to .so he did it the network fell over and the company sued 
for designing a crap network ...who got the blame..the man with his 
NAME on the design doc.


have fun

Re: Redundancy design question [7:6646]

2001-06-01 Thread Stephen Skinner

Jon,

the answer to your question is NO.

here`s the reasonyou COULD make yourself a Y cable from your CSU/DSU 
,but you would have a few issues.
I tried this sometime ago and found out the hard way.

OK.first thing if both routers are on you have a major routing loop 
problem..AKA split horizon/Spanning tree both routers would recieve the 
input packet from the CSU and both would try to route it at the same 
time...(VERY BAD)i totally screwed up my lab routing by doing this .
Also packets from host to internet are not routed properly...

So i tried HSRP but found that only worked if i had only one VLan and didn`t 
load balance.it also was not as fast as just having one router..( pass 
as to why)

SO you could set-up the cable and say shutdown one int on the backup 
router...which still means you have a latency (until you re-enablen the int 
and re-convergence takes place).


i hope this is helpfull...

BTW Please don`t ask me about CSU/DSU clocking as it was a BT leased line 
CSU/DSU and all i did was rip the cable apart and duplicate it ...

Sorry

steve

RE: Weird DHCP/VLAN solution suggestions wanted!! [7:6579]

2001-05-31 Thread Stephen Skinner

Guys,

there is something very WRONG here  i have a 6509 on site a single DHCP 
server ..various VLans and never miss an renew

are you using the ip helper address properly...( i Mean NO offence)...what i 
mean is setting a range 

ip helper address 10.0.*.* to 193.194.199.9
if so check the lease`s on the DHCP server...

i need some more info  to help i recon your DHCP server is up the 
swanyare there enough addresses in the scope for all users...

(someone i know set up a scope with 1 ip address in to and wondered why only 
one client got a renew)

you only need the ip dhcp command if you want to 65 to BECOME the Dhcp 
server...(don`t do it it`s a nightmare to adiminster)...

please post MSFC configs for inspection

HTH

O.T : Heart By-pass Surgery...Anyone got any links???? [7:6408]

Hi,

i have seen recently a vast amount of non-cisco related questions recently 
and i thought that i would try my luck 

my uncle needs some heart surgery and was wondering if anyone has some 
advise.

Is it like BGP or OSPF routing when trying to track a blood clott...
left ventricle first..unless there is a weight on the right...

are the veins leading to and from the heart like Fibre cables...(heavily 
sheilded)

any advise on this matter would be most helpfull as he is starting to leek 
and scream out in pain...

Cheers

steve
