Cisco VPN 3000 Client follies

2001-01-29 Thread Chris H
Group: I am in a bind... After an extensive evaluation period of the Cisco 3030 concentrator, and a beta deployment of the client to a slew of non-technical field users, I have found that the client does the following: 1. Causes shutdown problems (caveat documented on Cisco's website as fast

Adam, At my company we are doing something similar... We did the following: 1. Setup the IAS service on our Win2k server 2. Setup authentication for radius on the VPN concentrator (using the Windows 2k server's ip address) 3. Created an "internal" group on the concentrator. Although the gro

I would have to agree with some of Roberts comments... There were some questions that I just shook my head because of the lack of clarity. Some of the diagrams in the exhibits were utterly useless, it may have been more usefull to answer the questions without looking at them. I thought the ex

CCNP done

Group, Though I rarely contribute, just wanted to say that after a long and more round about approach than most, I finished the CCNP. I have to pretty much internalize the satisfaction that I got from passing, because outside of this list and and the networking industry, who the hell knows or

Michale, I have dot1q trunks running across Cisco MDF switches and Nortel IDF switches. We found that Cisco and Nortel run two different versions of Spanning Tree, both of which are 802.1q compliant. The difference between the two is that Cisco's portfast feature, and Nortel's faststart feat

All right, this is outright ridiculous... Memo to Cisco: I am never taking another Cisco beta exam What a waste of time... Will feedback and good beta testers start to go downhill because of the long wait? Something to think about. Oh, BTW, don't say that the results will be available on a s

Altiga/VPN guru's

Group, There has to be someone out there having the same problems with the Altiga client that I have seen. I have found that the Altiga client only works with a limited number of ISP's such as Mindspring, Earthlink, etc. However, any obscure or off the beaten path type of connection, the cli

Re: OT: DHCP with two networks

2000-06-09 Thread Chris H
If you are running a Cisco shop, with VLAN's, I would suggest running DHCP on the router itself. This has proven to be very effective for us... If you need reservations I would suggest using a server. What I would do, is create VLAN's for your upstairs and downstairs, and create a scope for e

One edge certified individuals have over their peers in the job field is ambition. Granted there are days when I study where the material reads like legal notice corrections in the newspaper, but ask any employer who he'd rather have... a person who watches the clock and has their pc shut down

The aironet device is slick. I like what I've used so far, we are deploying it into all thousand of our remote sites. It is pretty expensive though, and its supposed to move to 100 MB within 12 months, so the technology is still fairly new, and prices reflect. The device is menu driven and e

CCNP: straight from the horses mouth

Group, Heres some scoop I found out from the Cisco Certification folks at Networkers. They are currently developing a recertification process that should be announced in Sept. From what I gathered, it doesn't matter if you're a CCNP 2.0 or 1.0, you'll be required to recertify within a specif

The lab will be set up in a fashion where less emphasis will be placed on configs (contrary to CCIE r/s) and more so on your design. The proctor will test your design with a software program able to simulate various applications, and a large volume of devices. So in essence, you can throw t

Dude, First off congrats on the CCNP. I would get the CCIE blueprint and find the areas that your weak on. You may have material that already covers these areas in great detail, so why not save a buck or two... Additionally, CCO is a great resource, and a lot of time has better answers than

Jose, Pretty vague description... Are you on the same ethernet segment as the NT server? More detail would help consolodate the problem. It could be a slew of possibilities based on your description. Rephrase the question and I'd be happy to reply. Chris >From: Jose Luis Canillas <[EMAIL

The ARP cache should contain all MAC addresses for the port you have the hub connected to. So for the sake of arguement, you have 6 workstations connected to that hub, the switch should cache 7 MAC addresses, the 6 workstations and the hub. show ip arp fastethernet [port number] Make sure y
