[c-nsp] Upgrading IOS core on a 3750 Stack

2009-08-02 Thread Bill Blackford
The subject line says it all.

I have some questions regarding how the upgrade works.
1. Do I only upgrade the master?
2. If not, how do I upgrade the other switches in the stack?
3. Should everything be running the same exact code(base vs. 
ipservices)?

Technically no, but the master might be able to auto-upgrade the
members.

   2. If not, how do I upgrade the other switches in the stack?

You can upload software to flash1:, flash2: etc. and set the boot
variables with boot system switch 2 flash:/asdf.bin. Remember that
each switch sees the flash as just flash: when booting, so set the
boot variable accordingly.

I actually thought potential members with another feature set than the
master wouldn't become active, but if that's part of a show version it
seems they can.

I would recommend running the same feature set on all switches. I don't
know how different feature sets handle a master failover, but only
problems come to mind when looking at it.

Re: [c-nsp] SFC DOWN

2009-08-02 Thread e ninja
Gert,

So if we apply your thought process, there is no value in capturing and
organizing re-usable intellectual capital? I guess you must think Wikipedia
is useless and we should just trawl through the web and layers of email
threads to find simple answers to questions that have already been answered?


The value of any list is to share knowledge. If there are free tools out
there like mysolvr (a user-generated knowledge-base), that also allows us to
go the extra mile of documenting and organizing re-usable know-how for the
benefit of others, it is worth the effort.

We have to work smarter, not harder.

 OIR'ing the primary CSC (slot 17 by default) will _always_ result in

 Remember to shutdown the primary CSC using hw-module shut command, wait at

Re: [c-nsp] Can't pick up ip address--cisco 1200 ap

2009-08-02 Thread Graham Wooden
Well, without a VLAN aware switch you are dumping tagged VLAN traffic into
an interface that won't do anything with it, and in turn won't pass you
traffic to your sub interfaces on your AP.

So to move forward, you really need to have the AP plugged into a VLAN aware
switch, with the port setup for dot1q and allowing these two vlans.
Then set up some other ports on the switch to handle the untagged traffic
for these two vlans and put your DHCP server(s) on it.  Or if you running
your DHCP server on a router, you can sub interface out the router and make
that switchport dot1q as well.

Make sense?  Again, without the proper handling of the traffic leaving the
AP, traffic won't go in properlly as well.

HTH,

 Well, without a VLAN aware switch you
 are dumping tagged VLAN traffic into
 an interface that won't do anything with it, and in turn
 won't pass you
 traffic to your sub interfaces on your AP.
 
 So to move forward, you really need to have the AP plugged
 into a VLAN aware
 switch, with the port setup for dot1q and allowing these
 two vlans.
 Then set up some other ports on the switch to handle the
 untagged traffic
 for these two vlans and put your DHCP server(s) on
 it.  Or if you running
 your DHCP server on a router, you can sub interface out the
 router and make
 that switchport dot1q as well.
 
 Make sense?  Again, without the proper handling of the
 traffic leaving the
 AP, traffic won't go in properlly as well.

Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Humor: Cisco announces end of BGP


My feeling is based on two things:
I don't like the idea of vendors/providers ignoring an RFC just  
because.

   And note the RFC in question leaves no wiggle room here.


Please cite chapter and verse. As long as you use static IPv6  
addresses,

/126

is fine. No, a /126 address does *not* have to be based on a 64 bit

interface

ID.



Sure ...

RFC4291
2.5.1
   For all unicast addresses, except those that start with the binary
  value 000, Interface IDs are required to be 64 bits long and to be
  constructed in Modified EUI-64 format. 

2.5.4
   All Global Unicast addresses other than those that start with  
binary
  000 have a 64-bit interface ID field (i.e., n + m = 64), formatted  
as
  described in Section 2.5.1.  Global Unicast addresses that start  
with

  binary 000 have no such constraint on the size or structure of the
  interface ID field. 

That would seem pretty clear cut to me, rather explicitly calling  
for 64bit

IIDs in all unicast cases (excluding the starts with 000 block).
Additionally, 3177 implies the same:
3.
  -  /64 when it is known that one and only one subnet is  
needed by

design. 


Again - I am not saying /126s (or others!) don't work.  And most
implementations let you assign arbitrary values for prefix length.
I am not saying /126s or similar options are (evil|bad), or even
functionally problematic.
   In fact, RFC3627 explicitly mentions /126s as less bad than /127s
   ... but prefers /112s over /126s, and prefers /64s over all of the
above.

All I am saying that I prefer the spec(s) be updated based on real  
world
preferences/implementations, and that this proposed change get  
reviewed as
thoroughly as the original spec(s) did to ensure nothing breaks.  I  
fully

realize that the real world doesn't always agree with the IETF, but in
something this low down and yet relatively easy to codify I fail  
to see
why it hasn't been done, unless there is a reason not to?  (If you  
don't
mind wiggle room in specs, or implementers reinterpreting the  
specs, that

is (cough) fine.)

In closing, I would turn the question around - can you cite chapter  
and
verse where it says you are allowed to do this?  Hopefully including  
an
assessment of the potential unintended consequences (Note: If it  
exists,

Great! ... sorry I missed it!)

Yes that sole fastethernet interface is in trunk mode and allowing both tag 10

will get IP addresses from the DHCP service activated on the AP. So I don't

Jay,

Not sure what you continue to refer to here about ***scraping cisco-nsp for
email addresses*** but to minimize your exposure, you may want to refrain
from making unsubstantiated allegations against corporate entities without
facts.

All that was suggested is simple, if folks have extra bandwidth, they should
clearly and concisely document best practices in a format that is easily
searchable and reusable for posterity. Whether that is mysolvr.com, CCO,
juniper.net, private blogs or impulse.net, it really doesn't matter.

Suggesting that someone taking the time to research and respond to a complex
2-day old GSR 12000 ASIC problem that no one else on the list had responded
to - is doing so for an ulterior motive is highly unprofessional. You need
to remove emotions from your list conversations and focus on the only reason
why everybody is here - to *voluntarily* help others solve their technical
problems. Remember, a list is only as good as the quality of the answers
people get from it.

eom on this matter.

subset of our network there's a pair of well connected datacentres  
(eg dual 10GE paths etc).  One of our upstreams will shortly be  
presenting a transit path at both of these 2 locations.  No problems  
I think to myself - we'll just multi-path from our core and load  
share over both paths.


Problem.  Seeing as the 2 border routers in question are at  
different locations, the core routers see different IGP metrics to  
the nexthop of the BGP table entry.  As a result they are excluded  
from use with BGP multipath and I'm left with the core routers at  
each DC only using the paths to the border router at the local site.


I don't want to mess around with tweaking the OSPF metrics as I'm  
sure that's just a disaster waiting to happen for some poor network  
engineer in a year or two.  I thought I'd found a nice clean  
solution with Cisco's multipath unequal-cost feature but for some  
reason I can't even start to understand you can only use it in a  
VRF, not in the default table.


So the only solution I can see is to reconfigure the core devices  
and move all interfaces and routing processes into a VRF so that I  
can effectively get this feature on our entire table.


What am I missing here?  Surely I'm not Robinson Crusoe - someone  
must have done this before.  Platform is Cat6k / Sup720.



Thanks

David

Re: [c-nsp] BGP Multipath and unequal IGP metrics

I would consider using a layered-session approach.
The first layer would be used only to provide the path to the BGP
loopback, both to your core routers and to your transit providers, and
would be used to equalize the metric of the alternate paths. A likely
scenario would consist of 4 BGP sessions among your own routers and 2
or 4 sessions to your transit provider, but might be more; it would
require BGP support, but no 1 milion routes support.

The second layer would use the first one to exchange provider
announcements, both yours to transit and full routes from the transit
providers.

Disclaimer: haven't tested this exact scenario, ended up having
full-route capable routers on all hops.
