The interface type S/T refers to a combination of a the S interface (between the TE and the NT2) and the T interface (between the NT2 and NT1). This implies that the S/T interface will not function with an NT2 device in place. Don't know this for certain, bacause I'm never tried. This is

Did you format the flash before you put the new image on it? I would recommend putting both in and format the flash from ROMMON. Also, did you change the console port speed when copying the image over? That will cut down the time needed to copy the image over. Just remeber what speed you

2002-02-12 Thread Chris Charlebois
Well, you don't know it hangs. It is possible the router is just waiting for your command, but isn't getting input. Can you send a break sequence and get into ROMMON mode? What is the history of these routers? Where'd they come from and when did they work last? It's unlikely that 2 routers

Token Ring is not needed for CCNP. I got mine without ever touching one. You have to know the theory, and some of the pratical, but if you are looking to reduce the cost of your lab, that's the first one to go. The BRI emulator is priceless in terms of REMOTE. Unless you have hands on

RE: MAC Address format [7:35179]

Simple. Follow this procedure. 1) Get a clean sheet of white paper and a #2 pencil. 2) Write down, in pencil, the MAC address from the Cisco Router exactly as displayed, but leave space between each character. 3) Using the eraser end of the pencil, erase all periods. 4) Using the pencil,

RE: Adding more Vtys [7:35189]

2002-02-12 Thread Chris Charlebois
That is the correct format. However, the number of vtys possible varies based on router model and memory. Perhaps you attempted too high a number. Also, that command, line vty 0 n, defines n+1 vty lines. Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=35195t=35189

First, you didn't mention what kind of DSL router it is. (BTW, most DSL routers comercially marketed are actually ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Calling them DSL routers is a misnomer.) Every NAT implementation I've worked with requires explicit ranges set up for NAT. There's a good chance

You cannot simulate frame-relay with 2 routers. A minimuim of three are required. One router must serve as the frame-relay switch. This router needs to be connected to both other routers via back-to-back serial connections. In many ways, frame-relay is analogous to IP. It's just one more set

One point I'd like to bring up is do you work for a Cisco partner. If you do, once you pass the written, alot of resources become available to you. You can get access to some practice labs, limited access to cisco personal for help, even (and this depends on you're partner status) access to

RE: VOIP for CCIE [7:34849]

2002-02-08 Thread Chris Charlebois
Ideal would be VG200/248 or a NM-V or NM-2V plus VICs for your 2600. Neither of these are cheap, though. However, if you're just looking for voice gateways to add to your network, 1750's actually work quite well. They do not have some of the higher-end features that a 2600 does, but it does

2002-02-08 Thread Chris Charlebois
I don't *know* that it would be detrimental, but I wouldn't be suprised. You're asking the router's processor to do advanced screening on ALOT of packets. It could easily overload the process utilization. First thing I'd do is look at that. Message Posted at:

RE: show ip route longer-prefixes [7:34834]

2002-02-08 Thread Chris Charlebois
Sounds like more of an interface issue than a performance one. One of the developers at Cisco (or more likely some company that Cisco bought) figured that a sh ip route x.x.x.x comand should not take into account a default route, so the user is not potentially confused, thinking there is a
