JP Morgan contact

2016-11-10 Thread Tom Storey
Would anyone from JP Morgan just so happen to be lurking on the list?

If so, would you mind contacting me off-list regarding a reachability issue
that some of my customers are experiencing with your website(s),
specifically jpmpb.com.

Thanks
Tom

Re: LX sfp minimum range

2012-01-29 Thread Tom Storey
I once tried an LX-SMF-MMF-LX type setup using mode conditioning patch
leads between the SMF-MMF and MMF-LX portions of the span. I would be
hesitant to recommend it, simply touching the patch lead on the MMF-LX
portion would result in horrendous error counts. Suffice to say, we bit the
bullet and got some SMF blown through (tubes ftw).

I have also used LX-LX on short SMF runs of a couple of metres, for 1G and
10G, with no issues.

Re: Strange static route

2011-09-25 Thread Tom Storey
I found I had to do this many years ago on some Cisco routers to get them to
load balance (per packet) across two links. Adding 0.0.0.0/0 routes across
both links just resulted in traffic routing across one link. Broke it into
two /1's per link and it worked perfectly.

Re: switch speed question

2009-02-25 Thread Tom Storey
Were not considering anything other than basic switching in this  
scenario, as is my understanding.


2 hosts will create 2gbps of traffic as each host is inputting 1gbps  
into the switch (just multiply it by 12 to give you 24 ports). 3 hosts  
will create 3gbps of traffic as each inputs 1gbps into the switch  
(e.g. each host could be sending 500mbps to each of the other hosts).  
And thus and so forth. :-)


You can only input a maximum of 24gbps into the switch, which means  
that only 24gbps will cross the backplane.


Yes there is 48gbps if you combine tx and rx of each port, but traffic  
only has to cross the backplane once, from rx on one port to tx on  
another.


Sorry if I have hijacked this thread from the OP. :-)

Doesn't that assume that the communicarion is unidirectional?

If two hosts are exchanging 1Gbps flows, the traffic across the bus  
will be 2Gbps, right?


And of course, this doesn't include any bus-intensive operations  
like multicast
or things which require cpu processing - those can consume a lot  
more resources than the input rate of the port.

purposes,
you will only ever have 24 gigabits at the most traversing the  
backplane.

Re: FW: Ctrl+Shift+6 then X

> 'No ip domain lookup' will solve your problem instance below. Eg dns

True, but only really useful until you configure the device and it can
reach a DNS server, at which point you lose the ability to resolve any
hostname, but would be very handy in a lab where DNS is never likely to
exist I must say.

I might include that into my lab template. :-)

RE: FW: Ctrl+Shift+6 then X

2009-02-23 Thread Tom Storey
FWIW Ive rarely had a problem breaking out of ping/traceroute/etc on a Cisco.

I have found that Shift-Ctrl, then a very very small delay and 6 (while
still holding down Shift-Ctrl) works like a charm every time.

Maybe the terminals I use are just more friendly towards that sort of key
sequence than others. :-)

Though the only thing it doesnt seem to help with is when you have no DNS
servers configured and mistype "configt", or some other command that
doesnt exist and it tries to resolve it through broadcast several times.
Ive found its futile to try and get out of that.

Re: ? how cisco router handle the out-of-order ICMP echo-reply packets

2009-01-06 Thread Tom Storey
Considering that Ciscos wait for a response before sending the next  
echo-request, you should never end up in a situation where replys are  
received out of order.


That is going by my knowledge of traditional IOS. Ive not yet had any  
experience with IOS XE or XR to be able to quote any other experience.

Anyone have experience with Alcatel 9500MXC?

2008-09-18 Thread Tom Storey
Hi all.

I have several of these units deployed, they are all running fine, but I
am looking for information about them, specifically SNMP related.

Our Alcatel contacts have given us a collection of MIBs, from which I cant
really get anything useful out of the radios. Other than that they dont
seem too hell bent on providing much further help on this subject.

Hoping someone else on here might have experience with these units and can
share some information about how to get useful information out of them via
SNMP, like traffic and error counters, signal parameters, alarm status,
etc.

Cheers,
Tom
