[c-nsp] IPSEC Tunnel Crash, transform set change

2014-01-27 Thread nigel cooper
Anyone experience this issue and can explain why it works.
 
Created an IPSEC tunnel with an ESP transform set to South America
and it worked for a while few hours and the crashed. Spoke to another engineer
who then changed the transform set to AH and brought the tunnel up and then 
changed
back to ESP and it has worked fine since.
 
Would anyone know why the tunnel would restore after
changing the transform set back to ESP and possible what an ISP might be doing
to cause the initial tunnel to crash ?

[c-nsp] SPA-8X1GE-V* inter frame gap

2012-01-25 Thread nigel cooper
We recently had some issues with the SPA-8X1GE-V* inter frame gap.
I wonder if any other users had seen this issue and solutions to the problem.

Card appears to support only a receive minimum of 10 bytes whereas normally 8 
(some devices support 5) appears be the minimum on 1Gb.

[c-nsp] SONET SRC BFD

2011-11-23 Thread nigel cooper
Had a minor issue where there are sufficient errors on and SRC ring to 
instigate a BFD failure and disable the routing protocol but not enough to 
instigate a ring wrap. Which caused a routing failure and  partial network 
outage.


This was a single occurrence in several years and wondered if anyone else had 
had a similar incident and what they did to resolve it.

Subject: [c-nsp] BGP router upgrade

Hi all,

I am looking for a thoughts about a BGP edge router upgrade.

I am planning to upgrade our BGP edge from a Cisco 7200/NPE-G1. The NPE-G1 
suits our needs at the moment, but as we are looking to interconnect with more 
services, do more localpeerings and implement IPv6 in near future this might a 
good timing to upgrade.

As we are running a few 6500s in our network already I was thinking to install 
a 6500 with SUP720-3BXL and a 6724-SFP linecard to replace our existing 7200 
platform. The 3BXL will keep-up with full BGP feed and the platform can easily 
be upgraded to 10 gbit/s with a new line card (in example 6704-10GE).

I know others are using the 6500/SUP720-3BXL for this purpose, but as the 6500 
is designed a  switch platform i would like hear others opinion on the subject? 
Maybe I should be looking to other platforms as well, like Huawei or Juniper?

[c-nsp] pseudowire

2011-05-15 Thread nigel cooper
I am trying to create a psuedowire between two 7600 routers and don't seem to 
be 
able to get the VC up. I can do it between two 3700 routers at each end but 
with 
the 7600s the VC shows DOWN. The infrastructure is the same (testing in a lab 
environment). Has anyone ever used a pseudowire between two 7600's ? 



Trunking is not an option.

Diag here, just swap 3725s for 7600s in diag and use int gi4/48 for fe0/0, int 
gi4/47 swpt acc 222 for Fe 0/1 and created int vlan 222 to add the xconnect 
statement.

This new network switch is the 3ks which are based on merchant silicon.  Its
a stop gap solution until they spin their own. I believe its based on the

are using..

They are due out by end if April for fcs I believe.

 In almost all real-world scenarios, any dropped frame affects
 performance almost infinitely more than the latency of any switch
 between the two hosts. Don't *just* look at latency.

 That being said: The Nexus 5548 is pretty low latency port-to-port,
 and has much better density than the 4900M. Also a new Nexus switch is
 rumoured[1] to be 'just around the corner', specifically targeted at
 HFT scenarios.

 You should take this up with the account team.

 Do you know any other vender?

 Well, Arista plays in this space.

Re: [c-nsp] How to pass VLAN through router

2011-02-13 Thread nigel cooper
If you don't need to access the vlan at the intermediary routers a psudo-wire 
may work. 


I have only used them via mpls but understand they work with encapsulation 
l2tpv2 or 3 as well.

Subject: [c-nsp] How to pass VLAN through router

Is this possible at all? I ended in pretty ugly scenario (for a short
time period I hope) where I must pass VLAN through router (yes router
not L3 switch). The scenario is:

SW1-trunk-R1-trunk-R2-trunk-L3SWITCH

I don't have control over SW1 and R1, but I do know that I have trunk
from my R2 to other side R1 for sure (I already terminate one VLAN on
R2). Now, I need somehow to get VLAN from other side (SW1) to L3SWITCH
where I will setup a SVI.

Any thoughts? How router behaves considering VLANs? Is it only
possible to terminate vlan on subinterface and no vlan passing? It is
logical to me, because router is a router not a switch (in my case R2
is Cisco ASR). And IF router will pass VLAN over trunk interfaces how
do I control which VLANs are allowed to pass over which interface?
