RE: Simple Ip issue (need help) [7:62728]

2003-02-09 Thread Mark Tinka
i am not sure i understand your question, but from what u are saying, u want
your central and client router to have the same IP address on their serial
interfaces... why would u want that.. just having the IP address in the same
subnet should do e.g 1.1.1.0/30 ...

anyway, i think u may have a routing issue.. since 1.1.1.1/24 is directly
connected on both routers, how would u tell the local router that 1.1.1.1/24
is on the other [destination router] side of the serial link, yet it knows
its a local address...?..

please provide more information for the solution u need, and we can help
work with something more scalable..

good luck..

Thanx, 
for instant reply.
I am referring to have same ip on the serial interfaces of client router.
Again I will show u my topolgy

client-routerserver-router(isp)
2serial intf   2 serial intf
serial 0 -ip add- 1.1.1.1 serial 0  ip add- 1.1.1.2
serial 1 -ip add- 1.1.1.1 serial 1  ip add- 1.1.1.2 

I am using here duplicate ips on serial interfaces, is  this connection
correct or what design issues this has.

We can use dulicate ip on serial with themselves but not duplicate with
ethernet or loopback why ? any reason.

Hi All, 
I have very simple question, Can we use duplicate ips on serial interfaces
among them seleves although we cannot use duplicate ip on serial with
Ethernet(lan interface) or loopback interface.


My topology is like this 

Client router server router(connected back to back) 
2 interfaces 2 inetrfaces 


these routers connected back to back 


configuration 
int serial 0/0 
encap hdlc 
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 

int serial 0/1 
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 
encap hdlc 



now if all the two interfaces of serial even if given duplicate ip among
themselves works fine. no error from cli .interfaces are up
and i am able to ping remote side. 



The ques is that 

1) Lan interface also was in different subnet but serial interface 
doesnot accept that ips as duplicate or of loopback 

2)What Implication such have on my design ,any limitation it has 

Does this type of design can be used, 

This is small thing is confusing me about ip. 

Thanx in advance

If you're asking what I think you're asking, then I think your answer is
yes, but you won't be able to pass any traffic across the circuit.  Unless
you've confused me (it doesn't seem I would be the only one), then the
answer might not be the same.

RE: Simple Ip issue (need help) [7:62728]

2003-02-10 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer
You can't have duplicate IP addresses anywhere. They have to be unique. The
only exceptions would be if you were doing some sort of NAT or tunneling or
something and the duplicates were hidden from each other.

You don't get an error when you try to configure it because it's a lot
harder for IOS to detect this on a serial interface than on an Ethernet
interface. On Ethernet, a Cisco router ARPs for the address you give it. If
it receives a reply, then it gives you an error and won't let you use the
address. There's no ARP in serial land.

You think you're pinging successfully, but how do you know who is really
replying?

Even if you could assign duplicate IP addresses, you shouldn't. You would
wreak havoc with all sorts of things. There's no reason to do it either. If
you're concerned with running out of addresses, just use private address.
The 10.0.0.0 network has 16 million possibilities.

Someone had to get blunt here! :-)

For what it's worth, duplicating the same IP across a set of DNS servers in 
the same AS can provide an interesting spin on resiliency.  So long as you 
configure unique IP's for normal communication.  This sort of thing works 
good for protocols that are stateless (UDP DNS)

Anycast-RP in PIM networks also uses the same IP on multiple boxes :-)

RE: Simple Ip issue (need help) [7:62728]

2003-02-10 Thread Priscilla Oppenheimer
No problem with the splitting of hairs. :-)

I have been wondering why Cisco lets you do what the original poster is
doing, which most of us misunderstood. He is using the same IP address on 2
serial interfaces on the SAME router.

If you try to use the same IP address on two Ethernet interfaces, you just
get an error when you try to configure the second Ethernet interface.

With two serial interfaces, you don't get an error. Is this just an
oversight? There are many such oversights in Cisco IOS. :-) Or maybe there
is a real reason to do it.

I said in my original message that there's no ARP on serial interfaces so
the router can't easily figure out if anyone else is using its address like
it does on Ethernet. On Ethernet the router can send an ARP to see if
someone else replies. But that's someone else on the LAN connected to the
interface, not another interface on the same router.

So, if it gives you an error on Ethernet when you use an address you have
already used on another Ethernet interface, why doesn't it give you an error
for serial interfaces? Maybe there's an actual technical reason, although
probably it's just an oversight.

By the way, it lets you configure an Ethernet interface to use an address
already in use on a serial interface, but if you try to do it in the other
order then you get an error. That's probably just another oversight.

Cisco has always given you enough rope to hang yourself. Decent error
messages have never been any more important than ease-of-use. :-)

Sonet APS comes to mind?  I usually use a /29 with 4 addresses, but you 
could use the same address.

I can't think of a practical use for this myself.

The more I think about it (over the last two paragraphs of your msg) the 
more APS seems the likely candidate. If you couldn't, this would be 
restrictive in some cases.  Of course I'm thinking APS capable interfaces.

Would agree here.  Might be something to do with internal mechanisms to map 
macs to IPs.  Ie, if an interface is added, check the mac/ip binding list 
for duplicates and error if there is one.  Such a mechanism wouldn't be 
relevant in SONET and for the APS reasoning, it may be expected that some 
interfaces share the same address.
