Re: Coil pinnaccle header

2001-01-10 Thread Michael Fountain

I haven't seen that error yet, but I can telly you this.

The COIL chip is sits on the 6500 Fast Ethernet Blades.  Each Coil chip is 
responsible for up to 12 FE ports.  They are mostly responsible for TX  RX 
buffering, CRC checks, and queing

The PINNACLE chip is found on the Gig E and Fast E line cards.  Each 
Pinnacle chip handles either 4 Fiber XCVR ports or 4 Coil chips.  It can 
handle CRC checks, Queueing, putting packets on the switch bus, and so on.

Don't know if that helps you any.  Either way, if it is a group of 12 ports 
or a group of 48, it is still that entire blade that would have to be 
replaced to get them all working.  If you have a maintenance contract I 
would turn it in to them.





Hi all,

I have 4 6509 cats that are giving me problems. For particular modules on 
the switch, user will not be able to login to network. I move them
to different module on same switch all works fine. I look at switch,
port status all is fine.  I check logs on switch and I see for the
ports giving me problem it reports "Coil Pinnacle Header Checksum
Error".  What the hell is this? I searched Cisco's site and find
nothing.

Has anyone seen this?  Please help.

I am about the thought out the damn Module.

Thanks

Subject: Re: PIX Nat vs. IOS Nat for DNS


I have a question along the same line...

If I have a single DNS behind NAT and I want to change it's IP to 10.x.x.x,
how does NAT/Firewall know to forward the request to that address and how
would I register with Network Solutions so that there is a "virtual" name
server? Any suggestions/ideas?

I've been looking at some sample NAT configs, but nothing really addresses
the DNS aspect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 My question is about DNS queries through the PIX and the IOS w/NAT.

 This is taken from the Cisco web site.

 http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/458/41.html#Q21
 http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/458/41.html#Q21
 Q: Does Cisco IOS NAT support DNS queries?
 A: Yes, Cisco IOS NAT will translate the address(es) which
 appear in DNS responses to name lookups (A queries) and inverse lookups
(PTR
 queries). Thus, if an outside host sends a name-lookup to a DNS server on
 the inside, and that server responds with a local address, the NAT code
will
 translate that local address to a global address. The opposite is also
true,
 and is how we support IP addresses overlapping: an inside host queries an
 outside DNS server, the response contains an address that matches the
 access-list specified on the "outside source" command, so the code
 translates the outside global address to an outside local address.
 Time-to-live (TTL) values on all DNS resource records (RRs)
 which receive address translations in RR payloads are automatically set to
 zero.
 Cisco IOS NAT does not translate IP addresses embedded in
 DNS zone transfers.

 My question is how do I achieve this in the PIX?

 Thanks

Congratulations on having four 6509s to play with.  Sorry about 
the problems.


For particular modules
 on
 the switch, user will not be able to login to network. I move 
them to
 different module on same switch all works fine. I look at 
switch, port
 status all is fine.


When you say that the user will not be able to log into the 
network, are you also saying that each and every port on each 
of these modules are configured alike?  For example, can I 
presume that these are access ports you are referencing, and as 
such all have received the "set port host" command?  What 
indications are you getting of trouble.  Can these hosts ping 
each other?  Can they ping their default gateway?  How far (if 
at all) can they get?  Do they even get a link light? Have you 
attempted to fully reseat the modules in question, or swap them 
out with a different slot?


  I check logs on switch and I see for the ports
 giving
 me problem it reports "Coil Pinnacle Header Checksum Error".  
What the
 hell
 is this? I searched Cisco's site and find nothing. 

I can only infer about what it is, but my SWAG type guess would 
be some form of an ASIC, such as the SAINT, Phoenix, etc.  
Regarding the specific error, you may want to look at this link
(watch wrap):

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/reln
otes/78_6218.htm

Search within the page for both "coil" and "pinnacle".  Also 
read the note on reseating the modules from a pinnacle synch 
error.  To wit:

  If you see minor hardware failures or Pinnacle sync errors on 
bootup, reconfirm that the supervisor engine and all the 
switching modules are fully seated, the ejector levers are 
fully depressed, and the thumbscrews are fully tightened.

HTH,
