[c-nsp] PPP Multilink with L2TP interfaces

2008-09-01 Thread Nic Tjirkalli


howdy ho,

i am trying to get a CPE to
1) fire up a PPPoE session over an Ethernet interface to bring up a Dialer1
  interface
2) over this interface, fire up 2 L2TP sessions (Virtual-PPP1 and
   Virtual-PPP2 and put these in a multilink bundel)
   The L2TP tunnels are terminating on 196.30.121.42

Now all works well except for the Multilink PPP part. the 2 L2TP sessions
come up individual but there is no sign of any attempt to multilink
(nothing seen in any debug ppp multilink)

I have included my current config

if anybody can tell me if what i am trying to do is even possible and how
to fix my config i would be very happy and thankful

thanx in advance

 well, adding a 2nd SVI/Vlan to a VFI doesn't make sense (at least to
 me), if you want to bridge both segments (and the remote VFIs)
 together, you would put them into the same broadcast domain (speak:
 vlan). You can't use VFI/VPLS to create a single bridge domain for
 two local vlans.

[c-nsp] Interdomain Multicast Routing

2008-09-01 Thread Muarwi
Hi guys, I'm sorry if my questions is rather out of cisco's things.

I've read books about interdomain multicast routing (also one from cisco
press). From what I get, the solutions offered is PIM SM - MBGP - MSDP.

My questions is :
1. what about using PIM Bidir for interdomain multicast? Is it possible to
implement it in Cisco?
2. Has BGMP been being implemented in vendors?

Thanks a lot for your response

[c-nsp] exceeding the hardware maximum routes in a 720BXL

2008-09-01 Thread Gordon Bezzina

Hi,

Just a quick question what will happen if you exceed the maximum routes
That the FIB TCAM can store.

c7600#sh mls cef maximum-routes 
FIB TCAM maximum routes :
===
Current :-
---
 IPv4 + MPLS - 512k (default)
 IPv6 + IP Multicast - 256k (default)


c7600#


Will switch completely to software routing, or just switch the
Excess routes to software routing? Or will it drop routes or worst
Still crash!?


Also is there a best practice on changing the default maximum routes
Allocations?


Thanks
Gordon

it will switch to partial h/w, partial s/w.
a wildcard will be installed that matches on anything that doesn't fit 
into the table (i.e. it'll be a punt-to-software for 0/0).


Also is there a best practice on changing the default maximum routes

default is 50/50 split between IPv4/MPLS / IPv6/Multicast.  its perhaps 
difficult to crystal-ball uptake of IPv6 over the next 2 years, but its 
probably fair to say the current defaults are ok.

Assunto: Re: [c-nsp] Sup720 Config registry

You can check the config-register setting on SP by:

rem comm sw sh ver | i register

SP is probably still set to 2142. You should change it to 0x2102 by going to 
config on RP. When you save the config it will be saved on SP also. After 
saving you can issue:

rem comm sw sh ver | i register

It should indicate 0x2102 aftrer reboot.

 Hey Guys.. 
 
 I have a query I cannot seem to find any answer too. 
 
 
 When a sup720 module is booting, if you do a CTRL + Break into rommon 
  change the confreg register on the SP module (Changed to confreg 
 0x2142  NOT the RP module, what does this actually do? I did this by 
 mistake whilst troubleshooting an issue. The issue is now resolved but 
 I never got the opportunity to put this back (Also not sure what to 
 put it back too). The module boots up the config  appears to be 
 working 100 percent fine... I am very concerned if doing this does 
 anything detrimental that is going to be a concern later.
 
 Can anybody who might know advise? It would be very much appreciated.. 
 
 
 Thanks in advance.

Re: [c-nsp] Interdomain Multicast Routing

2008-09-01 Thread Mike Louis
This has been a  confusing subject for me. If you enabled msdp between 2 pim sm 
domains and enabled mc routing on the intermediate bgp routers while using 
normal non-mbgp routing wouldn't mc still work? Why would you want to use mbgp 
unless you wanted mc routes to take a different path than unicast routes? Do 
most sp these days support mc in their networks for customers?

Re: [c-nsp] Sup720 Config registry

I have seen an interesting one as well... I had a 7606 with a sup32 out of

own) it would halt the  switch processor and force a reboot... I'd suggest
you make sure the SP and RP are always in sync :)

  I had a similar issue back in SXE days (2+ years ago) where the conf-reg
  would get out of sync between modules on the Sup720-3bxl (it would show
  conf-reg 0x2102 in IOS, but rebooting would go into rommon).
 
  To fix it, I would simply do a conf-reg 0x2102 and wr in regular config
  mode, which seemed to set this conf-reg on all modules, making the
 problem
  go away.

 I've seen a couple really cool side-effects from an out-of-sync config
 register between RP and SP... For example, I was once rebooting a sup720
 to change the cef maximum-routes tcam partitioning, and as soon as it
 would boot back up it would install a reboot in 10 minutes rule,
 like what Jared mentioned here:

 http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/2006-October/035266.html

 After sitting through a lot of automatic reboots and trying everything
 known to man to stop them, I finally found the problem was a desynced
 config-register that you couldn't see from IOS at all (you had to start
 a shell on the SP to see it), which caused the SP to not process the
 RP's new tcam partition config. Apparently there was some edge condition
 which might need you to reboot twice to fully update the SP, so Cisco
 just wrote code to automatically reboot if the SP wasn't updated
 correctly. Combine that with an out-of-sync config-register and you've
 got lots of endless rebooting fun. :)

SSM is certainly *easier* to troubleshoot as is IPv6 embedded RP.

I wouldn't say they're good though; a large portion of the issues I've 
run into are much more general e.g. firewalls, lack of IGMP forwarding, 
lack of layer2 support, TTL problems, MTU problems, etc.

I know I can use quagga or dynamips/gns3 to validate my labs.
But something real where other person add/remove routes should be great.

so I'm looking for a real BGP router on internet to test my configuration.

I've had pretty good success doing this in the past, however, I've run
double the density and split it over two racks.
Ie, 24 Servers per rack, so a 48port switch per rack, with 48 ties
between the rack to tie it all together, each server would hit the
switch in it's own rack, then tie over to the adjacent rack.

Idea generally behind this was to have the servers/switches on
opposing phases to eliminate power problems, without having to get
Dual Power supplies in the switches themselves.

 two X2 10G uplinks and dual power.  Might that suffice?

 Still full L3 with the L3 price tag.

 Something like a 2960G-24TC with dual power would be cool.

Re: [c-nsp] Interdomain Multicast Routing

2008-09-01 Thread Paul Cosgrove
Hi Mike,

Normally MSDP will work with just unicast BGP, but then RPF check
changed between IOS and IOS XR...

In IOS a router performing an RPF check looks first at the multicast
routing table, and if it doesn't find a match it then looks at the
unicast table.

In IOS XR if you have any routes in the multicast table, and you do not
find the one you are looking for, RPF fails.  Doesn't matter whether or
not the prefix is in the unicast table.

You may have a situation where you are given multicast feeds (e.g. IPTV)
and are only supplied with multicast BGP routes because they do not want
any of your unicast traffic.  You may well wish to receive those feeds,
and also receive multicasts from sources which only advertises unicast
routes.  If I understand the RPF correctly, this presents you with a
problem and may have to look at statics/ACLs etc.

Paul.

 Hi guys, I'm sorry if my questions is rather out of cisco's things.

 I've read books about interdomain multicast routing (also one from cisco
 press). From what I get, the solutions offered is PIM SM - MBGP - MSDP.

 My questions is :
 1. what about using PIM Bidir for interdomain multicast? Is it possible to
 implement it in Cisco?
 2. Has BGMP been being implemented in vendors?

 Thanks a lot for your response

Hi Jeff, thanks a lot for your response.

Then how about BGMP (RFC 3913) ? Is it still a proposed protocol?

Thanks .

Re: [c-nsp] RTP related question

2008-09-01 Thread Alex Balashov

As RTP contains no backward acknowledgment mechanisms (other than RTCP
reports), you really can't.  You need to use a VoIP user agent and generate
a bidirectional RTP stream (a conversation) and verify media receipt with
a packet capture or subjectively, or via some means that the user agent
provides.

Re: [c-nsp] RES: Cisco Catalyst 6513 IOS version

2008-09-01 Thread Pete S.
We've been running a mix od SXF, and SXH (un)fortunately.

SXF is pretty solid.  If you don't have any features(like VPN,
adjust-mss specifically), or modules which require an SXH train(i.e.
6716) I'd suggest you stick with safe harbor SXF.

The biggest running issue I have with SXH, is not containing the ISSU
capability in the non-modular flavor.  Modular still makes me nervous
for production.

The large ones do. I know Sprint has been doing it for over 11 years. I
would say that most do not charge or if they do it is minimal. NOC support
may vary from provider to provider.

[c-nsp] mpls ldp discovery transport-address

Hi,

Below is the output of sh mpls ldp discovery. Here LDP identifier and LDP
discovery source are different. I can change discovery source using mpls

practice and what are the benefits? is it using both LDP identifier and
Discovery source same or different?

One of the benefit I can see is if I use the same IP for both is I can
reduce the number of labels. Any other benefit wrt security!!!

best practice is to use a loopback as LDP router-ID and advertise this
address as transport address (i.e. use the default behavior). This has
multiple advantages:

- less config
- if you have multiple links between two nodes, you don't have to worry
about advertising the same address on both links
- it allows you to keep the session established even if the link
supplying the transport address goes down (good for convergence)

Or where you thinking about using a dedicated loopback as transport
address? Not sure what the benefit of this would be.

I've seen the transport address being used in some cases where the LDP
router-ID is not advertised in IGP (for whatever reason), but these were
corner cases..

 One of the benefit I can see is if I use the same IP for both is I can
 reduce the number of labels. Any other benefit wrt security!!!

not sure what you mean by reducing number of labels.. Number of IGP
labels is usually not a concern. Not sure about the security argument.
