Hi,

We used to use SmokePing to learn the RTT from different providers  then
accordingly make decision. You may use any other tool to study the important
routes before going to implement the changes.

Re: [c-nsp] IOS-XR

Hi Osama,

If you know JUNOS  IOS, IOS-XR is not a new for you. Learn some basic tips
 starts working, it's very easy.

Migration from IOS to IOS-XR depends on the configuration you have on your
GSR. Because once you up-graded GSR, you have to re-configure it with IOS-XR
syntax (a bit change).

Please also note that the enough RAM available with GSR for IOS-XR.

Re: [c-nsp] CRS1 downgrade from 4.0.1 to 3.6.2

Hi Vikas,

Have the CRS is running on 4.0.1? I mean that the all steps required to
complete the installation have completed? Or you are stuck during
installation...
For downgrade the same procedures are required. However your flash file
system is required to up-grade from FAT 16 to FAT 32 in 4.0.1, have you did
this?

 AFAIK, no real implementations exist in production.

 Much of the work is still within the standards bodies, and a
 number of working groups are working on various parts of the
 protocol.

 A general update from Luca Martini can be found here:


 http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog48/presentations/Tuesday/Martini_MPLS_N48.pdf

 It's going to be interesting to see how existing IP/MPLS
 backbones receive MPLS-TP, especially if they aren't
 incumbents. That said, I can see how legacy telco's would
 like the concepts it presents, even though they may have
 existing IP/MPLS backbones.

 It's very different from regular MPLS, with a number of
 features taken out to simplify things the way (I think)
 telco's would prefer them.

 Personally, I wouldn't run it, as it's probably easier to
 add OAM capabilities into existing MPLS (but that's likely
 because I'm already happy with IP/MPLS). However, it would
 very appealing to telco's who are hesitant to run packetized
 networks with the exception of Ethernet.

 Nonetheless, yes, I'd like to see what it looks like in the
 end (MPLS-TP).

 Cheers,

 Mark.

 We are using 3.5.4 (CRS and XR12k) and do plan a move to 3.6.3 on both
 platforms. XR 3.8 didn't give us any needed features either, and the
 lower exposure in the wild made the choice of 3.6 rather easy.

point-to-point pvc) --- Cisco Router B.

PVC is Active  point to point connectivity is OK. But the ping
response from cisco router A to B via FR is unreachable  vice versa.

however if i replace Juniper router with Cisco Router, it works fine.

Is there any IP forwarding like thing? or any other problem.

Re: [c-nsp] Question about the CCNA and CCNP certification

2007-09-07 Thread Farhan Jaffer
very true.

You can take CCNP exam (any paper) without CCNA,  you will get individual
results. But in order to get CCNP certification, you must have a valid
(means before expire) CCNA certificate.

 Jay,

 You are right.  You don't need a CCNA in order to take the CCNP
 tests, but you will require one before you get your actual
 certification.  Just like you are required to have a signed exam
 certification agreement on-file (usually a click-through one you
 do for every test).

 However, there is no prereq for a CCIE.  If you're board with
 figuring out subnet masks and the basic stuff why don't you just
 get a CCIE?

  A guy I know from a different company also wants to become a

  completely sure about it and had an interesting explanation...
 He says
  that the CCNA is a requirement for the CCNP if you want to
 attend a CCNP
  class room course. This prevents that you have absolutely no
 clue about
  networking and slow down the whole group/class. If you don't
 attend the
  class, but do it by self studying and just take the exam with
 Pearson
  Vue etc, you don't need a valid CCNA certification. This is
 because it's
  your money/problem if you fail but you are not annoying anybody
 else
  with your incompetence and if you have no clue you just don't
 pass.

 He is wrong.

 CCNA is a prerequisite for CCNP regardless if you take classroom
 training or just schedule the exams at Pearson VUE.  You will not

 receive a CCNP certificate without first having a valid CCNA.  I
 suppose
 you could take them all at once if you want to do so.

 See the line CCNP Prerequisites.
