 Thanks Grzegorz,  down time window is the problem to go for 2 steps .
 rommon upgrades are in the FPD package but if i want to do the turboboot
 there is no way that i can install the new pie c12k-fpd.pie-4.2.4 on
 3.6.2 and upgrade the rommon . is there any package that i can copy and
 upgrade the rommon like CRS .Cisco document mention about 3.x to 4.x
 with c12k-upgrade.pie-4.2.4 package but still confusing about direct 4.2
 upgrade.

I believe that according to Cisco docs and in order to have reasonably
safe software version, you need at least three full reboots plus at
least one switch-over.
The upgrade pie doesn't contain any rommon updates, they are in fpd pie.
You can't install fpd pie from 4.X onto 3.X.

 Hi,

 therefore i'm wondering that whether i can do turboboot . but there is no

 package available on the download section ( archive also doesn't have

 Anyone having previous experience on 3.6 -  4.2 upgrade ?

As far as I remember you may need to repartition in order to the the
upgrade and/or upgrade your flash. We didn't do as big step as you plan
to do, and indeed the intermediate upgrade to 3.9 may be necessary.
Please check the Cisco upgrade procedure, they are very good in
describing what you can and what you can't. The rommon upgrades are in
the fpd package, it is also very well described in Cisco docs.

Please note some important SMU's for 4.2, some of them are reboot SMU's.

[c-nsp] IOS-XR next-hop self with reflected routes

2012-06-19 Thread Grzegorz Janoszka

I have encountered a problem configuring route announcements on IOS-XR.
In just a plain IOS (c6500 ie) setting next-hop self at the bgp peer
doesn't affect reflected routes, however it can be overwritten with the
outgoing route-map.
In IOS-XR the route-policy with set next-hop self doesn't seem to
affect at all reflected routes.
I know I can overwrite it on the receiving side, but any way to change
the next-hop of reflected routes in IOS-XR?

In the configuration mode you just replace the whole policy. Remember

The impact of the switchover depends how you configured your protocols

graceful restart only (and the other side has to support it).

 We dont have NSR turned on for routing protocols BGP and OSPF.  I have 2
 quesions will the turning on NSR under OSPF cause ospf neigbor relaionship
 to be reset and for BGP I think I need to reset the neighbor sessions to

Turning on NSR or graceful switchover for this protocol will have no
impact (no session flaps), but remember that graceful so is something
that you negotiate, so you have to reset your OSPF sessions to enable
graceful so.

[c-nsp] Warm reload in Cisco 6500

There is a nice feature in Cisco IOS:

According to Cisco software advisor (Find software with the features I

trains SXH and SXI.

However none of our C6500 with SXI (even the latest one SXI5) seems to
accept the commands for warm reload.

Do you see it enabled on your SXH or SXI? Has anyone used it with C6500?
Thanks for any hints.

It is just the same /24 route belonging to one internet exchange. Most

[c-nsp] Preferring OSPF over BGP

2010-08-13 Thread Grzegorz Janoszka


If a router has different sources (different routing protocols) for the 
same route, it chooses the one with the smallest administrative distance:


http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094195.shtml

The problem in short: there is a pretty big network with many routers, 
Cisco only. One of them has a network connected which it redistributes 
to OSPF. All other routers see the route via OSPF and via eBGP. Because 
of default administrative distance values, eBGP route always wins, so 
the traffic to that network from all routers but the one connected, 
always chooses external carriers, not the internal network.


One of the solutions is to change globally administrative distance for 
OSPF or BGP. However it is pretty dangerous to do it for all the routes 
on the core routers and Cisco even advices:


a change in the administrative distance can lead to routing loops and 
black holes. So, use caution if you change the administrative distance.


I thought about setting lower administrative distance in a 
route-map/route-policy, but it seems impossible.


Right now we have filtered such prefixes from eBGP peers, but it leeds 
to total unavailability when the connected route goes down.


Do you know any solutions to prefer the route (connected on another 
router) over eBGP? The only solution that comes to my mind is to 
redistribute connected to iBGP with higher local-preference than eBGP, 
but maybe you know some better way to achieve the goal.


Thanks for any advices.

different nics, servers, even 4 different switches. Is a very
interesting problem and I'm probing to see
if anyone else has encountered it. So far the only OS i have tried is
centos, but different versions and kernels and hardware.


We had the same issue with Centos, Broadcom NIC and Cisco switches. We 
discovered that other distros helped, downgrading Centos kernel could 
probably help as well.


We solved it reinstalling all affected Centos servers to Debian.

You can tunnel v6 prefixes on a v4 BGP session on a Cisco (iBGP and

[c-nsp] Multiprotocol BGP with Cisco

2010-04-16 Thread Grzegorz Janoszka


Does anybody know how to receive both v4 and v6 prefixes onto one BGP 
session? There is a RFC document about it RFC2858 which is quite old (10 
years). I know some other vendors support it, as we have just got a peer 
which feeds us with both families prefixes on one BGP session, at least 
it tries, as we always see only one type of addresses - v4 either v6, 
never both. Any tricks to do it with Cisco? We use IOS XR (CRS-1's), but 
we may also get this feed on a normal IOS (6500).

For a common IOS I could imagine doing it in the way you described. The 
only problem is I am trying to achieve it with IOS XR (Cisco CRS-1). The 
syntax here is a little bit different - you activate address-family 
within the neighbor configuration and there is no way to activate v6 
family on v4 peer and v4 family on v6 peer. I opened a TAC case and the 
engineer first answered me of course you can, then no, you cannot,

i.e. link-local are always fe80::::the mac

VRRPv6 (on Junos at least) requires you to statically configure
link-local addresses. We use the following scheme for each subnet:

fe80::group id:1/64 = virtual
fe80::2/64 = first router
fe80::3/64 = second router

(all done using a commit script btw, so no addt'l manual labour
involved)

We don't use HSRP (yet), but I guess you could employ this in an HSRP
environment as well and just tell -all- your customers to point to
fe80::X:1 as default gateway.


Yes, but I wanted to have the LL addresses unique in our whole network. 
I can take group id, but what if you move a customer from one router to 
another and the given hsrp group id is already occupied? Yes, a solution 
would be to have hsrp groups totally unique in our network, but AFAIK 
the group id can be only 0-255, so it is way too little.


I planed to use sth unique and I wanted to make link-local out of the 
main v6 of the interface.


Why did they make v6 so complicated? What is wrong with public IP's on 
vrrp/hsrp?

VRRPv6 -does- use global unicast addresses, so you can just tell your

You cannot have the same link-local IP's on different ifaces, can you?

[c-nsp] LACP on high latency links

2009-08-17 Thread Grzegorz Janoszka


Hi,

Anyone running LACP on links with latency about 10 ms or higher? With 
local links and latency ~1 ms we have no problems at all, it just works 
perfect, however recently we ran into strange issues with CRS-1 (IOS-XR 
3.6.2) and LACP on remote links with latency 10 ms or higher. When we 
try to add a link into a bundle (CRS-1's name of the port-channel) which 
has already had an interface assigned and up, the whole bundle stops 
sending packets. The bundle-ether interface is up, however it does not 
send any packets. The only thing that helps is to deassign all ifaces 
from the bundle, shut them down, then enable then and add them to the 
bundle again.

Does anyone know any cisco bugs with LACP and IOS-XR?

Any help would be appreciated, regards,

up, when the counters unlock and start displaying correct data.


Just forgot to add - we have this issue with SXF14, 15, 16 and SXI1.

[c-nsp] Freezing counters at 6500

2009-07-28 Thread Grzegorz Janoszka


Hi,

We have several 6500's, some of them heavily loaded. We use snmp to 
graph traffic on all interfaces - just the simplest solution. Since some 
time we have had an issue with the interface counters. When the CPU box 
is really loaded (usually synchronization of BGP sessions), the counters 
just freeze. The important thing is that only the displaying freezes, 
the counters are still counting. Both snmp and 'show interface' data is 
frozen and does not update for various time - from 30 seconds to 3-4 
minutes. As the result we have spikes on graphs - there is always spike 
down, when snmp gives frozen data from the past, and after that spike 
up, when the counters unlock and start displaying correct data.


Have you had similar problems? It is not the big issue, only the graphs 
look not so nice with the rows of spikes down/up. If there is a simple 
solution to the problem we would like to know it.


Kind regards,

You can set sampling parameters not to loose any flow. But the amount of 
the data will be so huge, that you will be unable to store/process it.

[c-nsp] How to match local IP address?

2008-10-21 Thread Grzegorz Janoszka


Is there a way to automatically match local (static, connected) IP 
subnets and deny ospf/bgp routes? Something like:


route-map name permit 10
 match connected

I use soft SHX or SXF.

We tried something like:
1. match route-type external
2. permit any

but it did not work. Thanks in advance for your help.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Redistribute connected and redistribute static only match those, no need for
a route-map. Or are you attempting to advertise these to a particular BGP
peer?


Announce connected network with no-export community - it may be lot of 
smaller prefixes.

The big aggregate prefixes will be announced statically in other places.

How about something like this?

route-map Connected-Routes
 set community no-export
!
router bgp XXX
 address-family ipv4
 redistribute connected route-map Connected-Routes
!

If you wish to assign community for only specific interfaces only, you
can do something like:

route-map Connected-Routes permit 10
 match interface XXX
 match interface YYY
 set community no-export
!
route-map Connected-Routes permit 999


It is a kind of idea, however it is rather complicated setup. The 
biggest disadvantage is that the interface list has to be updated. Let's 
say I insert a new blade to a free slot, then I have to update the 
route-map. Another disadvantage may be length of the route-map - if I 
have 4x48 ports, then it has almost 200 match entries - I do not know if 
Cisco allows for so many match entries.


However it is a way to do it. I think I would slightly modify it and 
use, thanks. If you have another idea I will appreciate it.

How are the connected prefixes getting into BGP?
Is it redis connected, network statements, or redis of IGP?
Should be able to set a community via route-map on a redistribution, I've
never tried NO-EXPORT though.


Is the below possible?

route-map redistribute-connected permit 10
 match ip address prefix-list ABC
 set community no-export
!
router bgp XYZ
 redistribute connected subnets route-map redistribute-connected

Is it possible to set the bgp community in the redistribute route-map? 
Will this community be sent to the transit (of course if not overwritten 
by peer outgoing route-map)? Someone tried such setup?

on.


I don't believe that this is instantaneous.  This still has the problem 
of blocking at least some traffic while the lines of config are loaded. 
 While this may not be perceived as a big problem for some networks and 
some traffic patterns, this will kill TCP sessions when the either end 
receives a TCP reset.  I suspect that it will also jack with SIP and 
MGCP sessions when an ICMP port unreachable is sent in response to 
reject RTP datagrams.  That wouldn't be good.


So, configure the port not to send any icmp, not tcp rst packets and you 
will not loose any connection.
