Re: [c-nsp] Divide large PVST domain?

2014-07-10 Thread Federico Cossu
If you are looking for real fun, aggregate redundant links with
etherchannel, then disable STP.

  Sometimes that can increase efficiency.

 Am I correct to assume that every time I need to move a vlan from one
 MST instance to another, my whole MST domain will fall apart until the
 MST reconfiguration is complete on all the switches?

 Somehow I don't like this idea.


  However what you are probably looking for is spanning-tree
  diameter command. If I recall that can make some auto adjustments
  to STP timers to accommodate for large switched networks.

 Even with the timer adjustments the maximum diameter is about 18
 devices. Still my train does miraculously work provided the root
 switch is in the middle.


  You should also be aware that 20 switches connected in a straight
  line (hence middle switch) gives you a single point of failure.

 It is not exactly so because the radio equipment has a way to shunt
 the failed switch. So the continuity of the train can be quickly
 restored. But it is a different topic.

 I also have a backup root close to the middle of the train.

 This is also the reason why going all L3 is not an option. You cannot
 simply shunt a router.

  If it is truly a train of switches you could also not run STP - no
  ring/redundant link = no loop.

 As I have already said before, 'I have a train topology with some
 redundant links between neighboring switches'.

 There are however no rings in the sense that redundant links are only
 between neighbors.

Re: [c-nsp] Nexus vPC loop avoidance details?

2011-04-29 Thread Federico Cossu
adrian,
even if you found the solution already, here is a great reference document:

http://bradhedlund.com/2010/12/16/routing-over-nexus-7000-vpc-peer-link-yes-and-no/

bye


2011/4/27 Lincoln Dale l...@cisco.com:
 whether a device sends to the 'right' or 'wrong' N7K depends on which
 physical link it chooses to use in a LAG bundle.  as the neighboring
 device has no idea its a point-to-multipoint bundle, its not really in a
 position to choose the 'right' or 'wrong' link.

 This makes complete sense.  It's just weird that when sourced from transit
 interfaces on the directly adjacent 6500s, traffic to the wrong N7K is
 actually dropped when the egress would be to another vPC, but when sourced
 from something beyond the 6500s, regardless of the physical link within
 the LAG that's chosen, all traffic appears to work.

 the example i was talking about was OSPF which uses link-local multicast and 
 TTL==1 packets - which means that if they arrive at the 'wrong' device, they 
 cannot easily just be sent to the 'right' device.

 i think what you're describing here is aspects of the vPC loop avoidance 
 mechanism.


 as to how vPC does loop avoidance, its sort of beside the point as to how
 it actually does it - just that it _does_ do it.
 i don't think its a secret per-se as to how we do it, but what you've
 observed with routing protocols is somewhat orthogonal to that.

 Mostly curious as to why some scenarios appear to work even though the
 traffic is traversing links which are to the wrong N7K.  vPC loop
 avoidance should be dropping these packets as well, so my assumption was
 that it is more involved than simply setting a bit when the packet
 traverses the peer-link and then filtering.

 the vPC loop avoidance system functions prevents loops by dropping 
 packets/frames that are destined to go out a vPC member port _if all of:
  (a) that frame/packet arrived on the vPC peer-link
  (b) the vPC 'peer' switch could have sent the packet out an operational vPC 
 member port itself

 e.g. lets say that a packet/frame arrived on Nexus-A Portchannel100 (vPC 
 peer-link) from Nexux-B.
 if on making a forwarding decision Nexus-A determines that the packet/frame 
 is to be forwarded to vPC PortChannel150 _and_ it knows that Nexus-B has 
 operationally-up interfaces also in vPC PortChannel150, _then_ it will drop 
 the frame/packet to prevent a loop, as it knows that Nexus-B could have sent 
 it down that path itself.


 if you're seeing drops in various scenarios, suggest you diagnose/debug what 
 the IP-address and MAC address is on where you are directing frames.
 it may well be that whatever you are testing is already in violation of 
 RFC-791/RFC-826/RFC-5227 and are not associating a mac address with an IP 
 address correctly.

 over time, we have discovered numerous devices from a variety of vendors that 
 violate some very basic RFC behavior which has caused issues.  introducing 
 things like vPC peer-switch addresses some of these misbehaving devices, but 
 are really addressing the symptom not the root cause.



 In any case, it's not a big deal.  Unsupported, we won't do it, we'll
 leave it at that. :)

 if you absolutely must run a routing protocol over vPC there are ways you CAN 
 do it.  e.g. run it as router-on-a-stick that has L2 hops via vPC.  you can 
 achieve this on a single physical box on N7K by making use of VDCs.

 there's other ways too, e.g. run something like BGP with set-next-hop to the 
 FHRP address.


 cheers,

 lincoln.

Re: [c-nsp] asa 8.4 + etherchannel + nexus7k

2011-04-06 Thread Federico Cossu
m guys, i really appreciate your recommendation, but we are
talking here about 2 distinct data centers, where the 2 ASA chassis
will be separated by a L2 dwdm link. so i can't use a cable for
failover, but only a vlan carrying traffic destined to a subinterface
into the default context.
in any case, if some problems will affect the dwdm link and as a
consequence the faiolver vlan is down, the split brain on the
firewalls will be our last concern.


2011/4/6  robbie.ja...@regions.com:
 strong recommendation on the direct cable for failover; you may risk a
 split-brain scenario otherwise.

Re: [c-nsp] OER + asymmetric routing issues?

sorry, to be true it's not so classical ;))
yes that's what we are planning, we can avoid using pfr/oer keeping
flows aligned in a simpler/manual way, but having pfr would be nice.
The scenario with 2 fw chassis is well documented, when having only 2
firewall chassis to be configured in an active/active inter-dc
scenario. it is not yet decided, but we'll have 2 clusters each one
into a datacenter where each datacenter will peer with a different
internet isp.

 What exactly are you trying to do here?  Your last email mentioned
 classical dual-homed scenario, but it looks like you're planning multiple
 firewall clusters over multiple data centres, and potentially multiple
 ingress points into your firewalled network zones, all tied together with
 pfr.  This probably isn't your average simple dual homed scenario.

[c-nsp] ipv4 snmp traps for monitoring ipv6

2010-07-13 Thread Federico Cossu
hi all,
we would like to monitor some part of our ipv6 infrastructure, we have
mp-bgp and ospfV3 peerings running over
an ipv6 network.

herehttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipv6/configuration/guide/ip6-mng_apps_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1058406i
can read that only few mib's are supported over ipv6, so i did some
tests
on dynamips and i've found that
for a BGP peering both in ipv4 and ipv6 traps (eg: peer down, peer UP) are
getting out only for the ipv4 peer relationship.

can someone please tell me what kind of traps i can expect from an ipv6
network infrastructure?
we are also expecting that ipv6-related traps will be forwarded through a
classic ipv4 network infrastructure.

thank you all

Re: [c-nsp] Etherchannel plus OSPF in GNS3

2010-06-23 Thread Federico Cossu
your topology isn't so clear ivan,
i can tell you that GNS3( or better, dynamips) does not support L3
etherchanneling.
if you want to see something on the cable wireshark (on real or
virtual devices) can definitely help you.

2010/6/23 Ivan Šimko ivan.si...@gmail.com:
 Hi all

 I've got question for GNS experienced guys. In my attached topology I have
 routers with etherchannel groups. Then 2 VRFs light and OSPF over SVI.
 Purpose of the network is achieve load balancing on port-channels and load
 balancing over OSPF also. Better understanding is here:

 Router has got 2 Etherchannel groups
 Router has got VRF with 2 VLANs
 One VLAN is memmber of etherchannel group 1
 Second VLAN memmber of group 2
 Each group consists from 2 ports - I'm using two different links for
 transmitting and want use them for higher throughput, that is the reason for
 etherchannel group
 OSPF for VRF
 Both VLANs are memmber of same VRF.
 Interconnections are VLANs /30.


 Netwrok works pretty nice but only thing what I'm missing are counters on
 physical FE ports and Port-channels what are still zero. Only ones updated
 counters are SVIs.

 OSPF does load balancing based on flow
 Port channel is set up based on src-dst-ip - how to confirm??

 I want prove that portchannel is using both ports in one direction only.
 Counters should to help me  but nothing is incremented.

 Used devices: 3640


 Thanks for comments

[c-nsp] mpls vpn load balancing issue [LONG]

2010-06-16 Thread Federico Cossu
hi all, my first post, please be kind! :)

i have a typical mpls network, as a nation-wide mpls-vpn topology,
where CE's are connected to PE's via eBGP sesssions.

P routers and PE routers are each other inside an ospf area 0,
all the PE's are connected to 3 core P's, and P's are acting as route
reflectors for all PE's with MP-Bgp.



       ce1 ce2 ..ceN
        \  |  /
         \ | /
           PE1
           |
           |
           P
          / \
         /   \
        /     \
       P---P
      /         \
     /           \
    PE2        PE3
   /   |            /  |
  /    |           /   |
ce4 ce5---ce6  ce7


PE are fully meshed with all three P's,
please see Figure 6-5 for reference on
http://fengnet.com/book/MPLS%20Configuration%20on%20Cisco%20IOS%20Software/ch06lev1sec2.html

the ios is at Version 12.2(33)SRD2a.


on the PE's, maximum-paths ibgb unequal 2 import 2 is configured
under the routing bgp process,
inside the address-family ipv4 vrf $VRFNAME.


based on this, think about two different CE's in the same AS 65xxx,
they are connected to two different PE for
redundancy. (ce5 and ce6 above, connected to PE2 and PE3 respectively)

BOTH ce5 and ce6 are advertising few routes, the SAME ROUTES for the
two CE's, these routes
are first statically configured and then announced via network command
under the bgp process

so for ce5 and ce6 i can see :
ip route 1.2.3.0 255.255.255.0 g1/0 a.b.c.d1
ip route 1.2.4.0 255.255.255.0 g1/1 a.b.c.d2
ip route 1.2.5.0 255.255.255.0 g1/0 a.b.c.d1
ip route 1.2.6.0 255.255.255.0 g1/1 a.b.c.d2

and then
router bgp 65xxx
network 1.2.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 1.2.4.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 1.2.5.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 1.2.6.0 mask 255.255.255.0

the issue can be noticed on the remote PE1.
on this remote PE1, under the vrf bgp table, you can see that only one
of those 4 routes is load balanced
with 2 paths, the other 3 ones are not loadbalanced, even if all paths
are there in the bgp table for the vrf.

so for example on network 1.2.4.0 i have no multipath loadbalancing
even if there are 3 available paths:

PE1-ROUTER7600#sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf $VRFNAME 1.2.4.0

 Advertised to update-groups:

on network 1.2.3.0 i do have multipath and loadbalancing as expected:

why for a network i have lodbalancing and for the other one i haven't?

other than the missing multipath,
why the vrf bgp table shows 3 paths, even if i configured it to import
only 2 at maximum?

lastly, the issue isn't live all the days, somedays i have 4 paths
for each prefix and multipathing occurs as well.

hope it's clear enough, i did also a dynamips emulation but everything
works fine there, even if with a newer 12.4T.

PE are fully meshed with all three P's,
please see Figure 6-5 for reference on
http://fengnet.com/book/MPLS%20Configuration%20on%20Cisco%20IOS%20Software/ch06lev1sec2.html

the ios is at Version 12.2(33)SRD2a.


on the PE's, maximum-paths ibgb unequal 2 import 2 is configured
under the routing bgp process,
inside the address-family ipv4 vrf $VRFNAME.


based on this, think about two different CE's in the same AS 65xxx,
they are connected to two different PE for
redundancy. (ce5 and ce6 above, connected to PE2 and PE3 respectively)

BOTH ce5 and ce6 are advertising few routes, the SAME ROUTES for the
two CE's, these routes
are first statically configured and then announced via network command
under the bgp process

so for ce5 and ce6 i can see :
ip route 1.2.3.0 255.255.255.0 g1/0 a.b.c.d1
ip route 1.2.4.0 255.255.255.0 g1/1 a.b.c.d2
ip route 1.2.5.0 255.255.255.0 g1/0 a.b.c.d1
ip route 1.2.6.0 255.255.255.0 g1/1 a.b.c.d2

and then
router bgp 65xxx
network 1.2.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 1.2.4.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 1.2.5.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 1.2.6.0 mask 255.255.255.0

the issue can be noticed on the remote PE1.
on this remote PE1, under the vrf bgp table, you can see that only one
of those 4 routes is load balanced
with 2 paths, the other 3 ones are not loadbalanced, even if all paths
are there in the bgp table for the vrf.

so for example on network 1.2.4.0 i have no multipath loadbalancing
even if there are 3 available paths:

PE1-ROUTER7600#sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf $VRFNAME 1.2.4.0
BGP routing table entry for 10:1555:1.2.4.0/24, version 381822021
Paths: (3 available, best #3, table $VRFNAME)
Multipath: iBGP
 Advertised to update-groups:
    4          6
 65xxx, imported path from 10::1.2.4.0/24
   10.1.2.2 (metric 45) from 10.0.0.2 (10.10.10.2)
     Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal
     Extended Community: RT:10:
     Originator: 10.1.2.99, Cluster list: 0.0.0.1

   10.1.2.3 (metric 45) from 10.0.0.3 (10.10.10.3)
     Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal
     Extended Community: RT:10:

   10.1.2.3 (metric 45) from 10.0.0.2 (10.10.10.2)
     Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal, multipath, best
     Extended Community: RT:10:777
     Originator: 10.1.2.88, Cluster list: 0.0.0.1
     mpls labels in/out nolabel/839

on network 1.2.3.0 i do have multipath and loadbalancing as expected:

PE1-ROUTER7600#sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf $VRFNAME 1.2.3.0
BGP routing table entry for 10::1.2.3.0/24, version 381822020
Paths: (3 available, best #3, table $VRFNAME)
Multipath: iBGP
 Advertised to update-groups:

   10.1.2.29 (metric 45) from 10.0.0.2 (10.10.10.2)
     Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal, multipath
     Extended Community: RT:10:
     Originator: 10.1.2.99, Cluster list: 0.0.0.1
     mpls labels in/out nolabel/1282

   10.1.2.28 (metric 45) from 10.0.0.3 (10.10.10.3)
     Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal
     Extended Community: RT:10:
     Originator: 10.1.2.88, Cluster list: 0.0.0.2
     mpls labels in/out nolabel/719

 65xxx, imported path from 10::1.2.3.0/24

why for a network i have lodbalancing and for the other one i haven't?

other than the missing multipath,
why the vrf bgp table shows 3 paths, even if i configured it to import
only 2 at maximum?

lastly, the issue isn't live all the days, somedays i have 4 paths
for each prefix and multipathing occurs as well.

hope it's clear enough, i did also a dynamips emulation but everything
works fine there, even if with a newer 12.4T.

thanks to whom patiently read til here and thanks anyway.

best regards.
