Cisco site sayes that latest image for My Router should be the one loaded right now...
It working, but unable to see certain things in cisco configuration proffesional...Fx Cellular 0
I tryed to downgrade, wich resultet in something like " Unsigned imaged found, Bailing out" then I had to do a tftpdnld, to recover the latest ios from Cisco
Stupid me, did not take a backup before it was to late
Anyway i did make it work again, but here comes my question

When i did the tftpdnld it told me that everythin was erassedm but i had no other way..
After a succesfull tftpdnld. i reboot and amazingly i had internet again

The strange thing is....I have a running-config if i ssh to it. but according to my flash: there is only my IOS.BIN
How is that working?
Anyone know where the latest working image can be found. because Cisco states the the one right now i the right..but still i cant see cellular 0 in CCP
But ita actualy the one making me able to write to this site, right now

Answer:

When i did the tftpdnld it told me that everythin was erassedm but i had no other way..
After a succesfull tftpdnld. i reboot and amazingly i had internet again

This is because the configuration on Cisco routers is not stored in the FLASH memory but rather in a different place (and chip) called the NVRAM memory. This reason for this is historical - FLASH memory can be rewritten only a limited number of times and therefore it was not suitable to hold the startup-config file that can rewritten frequently. Your FLASH memory may really have been erased after the tftpdnld command but it did not damage your configuration stored in NVRAM. Try using the dir nvram: command to see its contents.

In order to download images for your Cisco router, you need to have a valid support contract. Cisco does not publish IOS images for free access. Cisco 3925 router

ip forward-protocol udp echo

Question:

was looking for WS-C3560V2-48TS-S  documentation to explain "ip forward-protocol udp echo " however, i

receive info on everything except for the actual "echo" portion. essentially i am

trying to find out if i need it or not.

Answer:

i do not believe you need it but reading here you will figure it out:

OSPF. 2 BDR

Question:

Can anyone explain me, C2951-VSEC why in my network topology, where OSPF is running, i have 2 BDR router, instead of have 1 BDR and one DROTHER.

On DR router i have following output:

CENTRE#show ip ospf neighbor


Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface
172.16.10.150     1   FULL/BDR        00:00:31    192.168.10.1    FastEthernet0/0
172.16.10.50      1   FULL/BDR        00:00:33    192.168.10.10   FastEthernet0/1

Answer:

A DR/BDR is elected for each multiaccess network, not for the network as a whole. You have two FastEthernet interfaces and hence (at least) two multiaccess networks. On each of these networks, DR and BDR must be elected. That is why you see two Cisco 3925 BDRs - because each of them serves a different multiaccess network. This is normal. For more info, please refer to http://lilirouter.metroblog.com/

BGP Multihoming ISP level redundancy

Question:

 I want to go WS-C3750V2-24PS-S for ISP level redundancy,  with Dual internal Internet routers.  Public IP range is of /23. I want  BGP announcement of my discrete address block (e.g. /24) to their peers, in addition to the entire aggregated prefix (e.g. /23).

However I have only 2800 series routers with RAM of 768 MB (512+256).

Can you please suggest how should I proceed?

Answer:

You need to use a route-map applied outbound to eBGP neighbor to perform AS path prepending in a selective way
The route-map is ISP specific

border router 1:

ip prefix-list SECOND-ROUTE 4.4.5.0/24

route-map toISP1 permit 10
match ip address prefix  SECOND-ROUTE
set as-path prepend 100 100 100

route-map toISP1 permit 20
match ip address prefix IP_OUT

router bgp 100
no neigh 1.1.1.1 prefix-list IP_OUT out
neigh 1.1.1.1 route-map toISP2 out

In the same way for border router 2:

ip prefix-list FIRST-ROUTE 4.4.4.0/24

route-map toISP2 permit 10
match ip address prefix FIRST-ROUTE
set as-path prepend 100 100 100

route-map toISP2 permit 20
match ip address prefix IP_OUT

router bgp 100 WS-C3750V2-48PS-S Price
no neigh 2.2.2.2 prefix-list IP_OUT out
neigh 2.2.2.2 route-map toISP2 out

Answer:

You will need to enable some sort of internal routing protocol on your routers if they were in the same AS or configure static routing between them in case they were in different Autonomous Systems.

You can refer to the following links for more information about the BGP configuration

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_configuration_example09186a008009456d.shtml#directlyconnected

DR and BDR election process

Question:

I'm having 4 WS-C3750X-24T-S ethernet switches. Sw1, Sw2, Sw3 and Sw4. Sw1 is the DR, Sw2 is the BDR and Sw3 and Sw4 are configured for DR  Other. Sw3 sends message to Sw1 which is the DR that it is going down. Unfortunately when Sw1 also goes down when it receives message from Sw3. So will Sw2 which is the BDR come to know that sw3 is down. Please reply.

Answer:


There are probably things in your post that I am not understanding fully. But it seems to be a fairly simple question. Routers in OSPF continue to send hello messages to indicate that they are still active members of the network. If sw3 goes down and stops sending hello packets then sw2 will detect that sw3 is down.

Answer:

This is due to the known defect -

CSCtw90305

which was duplicated to CSCtr15153 WS-C3560X-48T-L Price

Please use the Bug Tool Kit and verify your the IOS is affected or not.

NAT DNS payload replacement. Very funny, Cisco.

Question:

ip nat inside source WS-C3750X-12S-S list bunch_of_hosts pool some_pool overload
ip nat inside source static 10.10.10.10 91.91.91.91 no-payload


there is a DNS record:

some_host.some.domain     IN     A     91.91.91.91

from host in bunch_of_hosts list:

$ dig some_host.some.domain @8.8.8.8

;;ANSWER SECTION:
some_host.some.domain     IN     A     10.10.10.10

Who's idea was that? How to disable it??


Clarification: DNS server, hosting some.domain is NOT inside our network. It's completely different organisation and thir DNS gives the right answer when asked outside this NAT setup.

Answer:


Can you try using these commands? They should stop IOS rewriting the DNS contents as part of its NAT ALG.

no ip nat service alg tcp dns

no ip nat service alg udp dns

QoS (dscp-to-exp mutation) on Sup-2T/Cat6500

Question:

I ran into interesting WS-C3560X-24T-S issue on Sup-2T. As you probably know, QoS CLI is changed on this new supervisor. I'm looking to translate incoming dscp-marked packets, into exp-marked on egress.

Now, according to documentation - Catalyst 6500 Release 15.0SY Software Configuration Guide - this functionality is still called mutation-map and is configured under 'platform qos map exp-mutation'. The problem is quite simple – there is no 'platform qos map exp-mutation' on 2 different machines I checked upon. Here:


Some-6513(config)#platform qos ?
  10g-only           qos pure 10G mode
  aggregate-policer  Named aggregate policer
  marking            marking keyword
  police             police keyword
  protocol           protocol keyword
  queueing-only      queueing-only (no QoS rewrite,  no policing)
  rewrite            packet qos rewrite enable/disable                 
  statistics-export  qos statistics data export

What do you think I'm missing?

Answer:

The command is hidden, as far as I know because it is not supported and replaced by "table-maps". If you press enter after "platform qos map" it will say incomplete command, so it's still there but hidden.

You could use the "table-map" command instead and "show table-map" to verify the config. Details in the guide below:

Username and password are correct, as I tried Broadband connection on nearby Win7 workstation with these credentials.
So, I have several other locations connected to this ISP, but routers, used there, manufactured by HP MSR series. They doesn't support ms-chap-v2, only chap and I think it's a root of this issue. They can negotiate chap and authenticate with it.
Cisco 861 for some reason chooses ms-chap-v2, despite  "ppp ms-chap-v2 refuse" command.

How can be chap authentication forced in this case?
Or why ms-chap-v2 fails?

Answer:


Can you please try removing the ppp authentication chap command from your Dialer1 interface? By this command, you are requesting the ISP to authenticate to you which is not usually done. It is possible that the ISP is not willing to authenticate to you and drops the connection as WS-C3560X-48T-L Price the result.

MPLS or VPN

Question:

we are using both WS-C3750X-12S-S  Internet and MPLS connectivity to DC ,my question is how to figure out whether a user is connecting to internal network through vpn over internet or through MPLS cloud.

Answer:


Easiest way is to check the source ip, if it's connecting via VPN, the source ip normally will be within a VPN address pool WS-C3750X-24S-S Price

Which IOS is for Router 7606 to accept FWSM?

Question:

I need to put WS-C3560V2-24PS-S  a FWSM and a line card WS-X6148A-GE-TX to a router 7606. The FWSM version is 3.2(13). The router is running IOS 12.1(18)SXD3. The Cisco document here says the required IOS for router 7606 is 12.2(18)SXF or higher. I have downloaded the IOS 12.2(33)SRD4 and loaded it to the flash card. When I turn the router on, it doesn't load the new IOS and goes to rommon.

Can you advise which IOS I should use to make the router 7606 work and accept the FWSM.

Answer:

If the document said that the ios version must be 12.2(18)SXF or higher to support FWSM function.

Please follow the steps of ios upgradation inorder to get the router load with new ios image which you have already WS-C3560V2-48PS-S Price put in the flash.

Dual MPLS BGP EIGRP Design Validation, Please suggest..

Question:

Need your inputs on WS-C3560X-48PF-L Price attached two design options. Which one is better and is there any kind of issue with second scenario (Diag2)?

We have basically multiple sites which will connect to two MPLS service providers in any to any communication.

EBGP between CE and PE Routers with both Service Providers. IBGP between CE1 and CE2 Router on a back to back physical link.
EIGRP as internal routing protocol. Redistribution will be configured between BGP to EIGRP.
Load sharing will be done on both providers using AS path preprending and Local Preference.
Tagging and Route-maps will be used while redistibuting from BGP to EIGRP to stop propagation of these routes again to BGP cloud.
AS path access-list allowing only local AS routes to BGP (Do I still need this if I am using tags in BGP - EIGRP Redist.?

Do you see any issues in this design?
Are we following current best practices?

Out of the two options for connecting Core Switches with WAN Routers, I will need additional module on Routers with the first option, Second option also looks redundant and utilizing only three interfaces on Routers. Do you see any potential issue with second option (Diag2)?

Looking for your valuable suggestions..

Answer:

there are some notes that may be useful about your design and the different topology options.

We see that design option 1 has the cross -over direct links between WAN router CEi and Core switch j with i <> j, design 2 misses this cross-over direct links.
Design option 1 provides link redundancy in the EIGRP routing domain and fault tolerance to single link fault for these addtional links.

Design option 2 can be improved if EIGRP is activated on the CE1 to CE2 direct link. If this is done the EIGRP domain achieves redundancy and fault tolerance to single link fault. So this is the first suggestion.

Looking at the whole routing plane we can see that design option 1 has still an advantage over design option 2: it allows true load balancing from the point of view of a single core switch in reaching the remote site IP subnets. It is enough that the two CE routers redistribute BGP routes into EIGRP with the same seed metric to achieve. Until both CE routers advertise the same IP subnet with the same seed metric each core router sees two equal cost paths one via CE1 and MPLS SP1 and one via CE2 and  MPLS SP2.

This load balancing over both MPLS clouds cannot be achieved by design option 2 even with EIGRP enabled on CE-toCE link as each core router will prefer the directly connected CE router for the way EIGRP metric works also for external EIGRP routes.
In order to achieve load balancing over both MPLS clouds the core switch should support GLBP on client facing Vlans. This would lead to some clients using core switch 1 as default gateway and other to use core switch2.
GLBP may be supported or not on the core switch multilayer switches.

So if the design objective is to use both MPLS clouds in load sharing and GLBP cannot be used, design option 1 is to be preferred, but the direct link CE to CE might be removed under certain conditions.
More on this later.

Let's see if the complexity of the solution in the routing plane can be reduced.

Redistribution of BGP into EIGRP is needed unless a full mesh iBGP is built between CE1, CE2, core switch1, core switch2. So we consider this a needed part.

My understanding from your notes is that you are performing mutual redistribution, that is you are also redistributing EIGRP into BGP.

>> Tagging and Route-maps will be used while redistibuting from BGP to EIGRP to stop propagation of these routes again to BGP cloud.

If the number of EIGRP routes is not high < 200 EIGRP routes can be injected in BGP by simply using the network command under router bgp and this is a great simplification as it removes the need for mutual redistribution.

So the second suggestion is to consider the use of the BGP network command instead of redistribution of EIGRP into BGP in the smaller sites that have not so many local routes.

The last point to discuss is the role of the iBGP session between CE routers.

Each CE router connects to a different MPLS SP cloud. If all sites are multihomed to both MPLS SP1 and MPLS SP2 different strategies are possible:

a) total separation between the two clouds-
the iBGP session is not needed at all in this case each SP cloud is stand alone if one remote site link to SP1 fails the remote site IP subnets will be reachable via SP2 and CE1 will stop to inject the routes into EIGRP in the local site.
The design is still fault tolerant to a single link or node fault, load balancing may be performed in normal conditions.
This is a good choice for remote sites.

b) interconnection between the two VPNs in central site and/or selected sites-
In this case the iBGP session provides a backup path via SP2 to those remote sites that are only connected to SP1.
The event that can be covered with this design is site K only connected to SP1 to be able to communicate to site M only connected to SP2. This is a double fault that might happen.
The iBGP session on central site and/or remote site can cover this case by propagating routes between SP1 and SP2 via the CE routers of central site /selected sites.

So in my opinion the iBGP session is useful only when you want to implement strategy b).

And this leads again to the fact the direct link between CE routers may be removed saving the addition of a network module.

>> AS path access-list allowing only local AS routes to BGP (Do I still need this if I am using tags in BGP - EIGRP Redist.?

Until you have the iBGP session if you want to keep the two clouds separated (strategy a) you need the AS path filtering, because the iBGP session provides the leakage on the routing plane between SP1 and SP2 clouds.
The route-maps with tags applies only to redistribution of EIGRP into BGP and does not provide filtering on BGP routes passed to an eBGP peer

The AS path filtering should be removed or modified to allow route propagation between SP1 and SP2 clouds.

However, if the choice is this one (strategy b) it can be implemented only on central site or selected sites is not needed in all sites to save on complexity.
