Re: [c-nsp] Cisco 7206VXR with NPE-G1
Even with “ip options drop”, we are still seeing a fraction of packets being cpu switched (about 0.2% input and 1% output) even though we are using CEF. Looks like they are mostly door-knob packets destined for the router itself (which is ACL’d) or some other annoyance. We tuned the buffers to solve the cosmetic counter issue with input/output errors. Since we increased the buffers, the counters have been clean, and the “show buffers” did show a shortage of buffers, so even on the 7200 with particles, perhaps the CLI uses the buffers construct regardless. Maybe it was just a placebo effect. rtr-inet2#sh int gi0/1 stats GigabitEthernet0/1 Switching pathPkts In Chars In Pkts Out Chars Out Processor2824573 6774030572958521 196941357 Route cache 944226953 181329390 274701286 1591461341 Total 947051526 858732447 277659807 1788402698 rtr-inet2#sh ip cef switching statistics Path Reason Drop Punt Punt2Host RP LES Packet destined for us 04377823 0 RP LES Total 04377823 0 RP PAS No route3923 0 0 RP PAS Packet destined for us 04933417 8 RP PAS No adjacency3476 0 0 RP PAS Incomplete adjacency 1204250 0 0 RP PAS TTL expired0 02709278 RP PAS Routed to Null0392389023 0 0 RP PAS Features 151528682 0 22614 RP PAS IP redirects 0 0 12358 RP PAS Neighbor resolution req 399660 0 0 RP PAS Total 54552901449334172744258 AllTotal 54552901493112402744258 On Jul 8, 2015, at 4:13 AM, Lukas Tribus luky...@hotmail.commailto:luky...@hotmail.com wrote: on a 1.

Of course, its not nice to have those drops, all I'm saying is that customer traffic is supposed to be CEF switched and therefor bypassing particles.

[c-nsp] Cisco 7206VXR with NPE-G1
Hello, I wanted to reach out to the list to see what is the current and trusted version of IOS for Cisco 7206VXR with NPE-G1? I know this hardware is EOL but we have a few still in use and wanted to get them up to a newer version of IOS. We are currently running 12.4(12b) which I think we are hitting a bug with this IOS (bug ID CSCsz97091) in relation to input errors and overruns when a show run is done. I am seeing on our error trend graphs every hour we take a burst of input errors, and they are timed exactly to 1 hour interval. It just so happens our RANCID implementation is fetching configs every hour, so I have strong suspicion we are hitting that bug on 12.4(12b).Was wondering what is the best IOS to run on this NPE-G1?We do OSPF/BGP and minor static routing. IPSEC would be nice but not necessary in our situation. Thanks for any IOS recommendations.

Re: [c-nsp] Cisco 7206VXR/NPE-G1 -- Cisco WS-C6506 (R7000)
The CPU may be freaking out as interfaces and routing protocols think as errors stack up quickly the link is flapping, causing a lot of SPF calculations or BGP table re-syncs. Once the errors die off the interfaces appear stable. With both interfaces receiving the same garbled packets, it's unlikely a set of optics have gone bad and impacted both the transmitter and receivers. So it sounds like you have dirty patch interfaces or a mangled patch cable. Clean each with 95% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes and/or replace the patch cable(s). If that doesn't clear it up, swap GBICs. Are you using newer 1300nm GBICs with older 62.5/125um patch cables? -D We have a 7206 that is getting lots of input errors and overrun errors on the LAN side without CRC errors.

Sidney, I already got the G1 replaced, it's working. I have an NPE-400 in a VXR chassis that was running fine with 12.3.x until I put 12.4.19 on it. It starts the boot process, shows the version of bootstrap (12.2.x) then shows the amount of memory (256M) then does this: rommon rommon rommon rommon rommon rommon ... It keeps scrolling rommon as if I had the enter key depressed. It even does this if I put a flash card in the controller card with JUST 12.3.x IOS on it. I've tried a few different controller cards a few different console cables and a few different computers. I'm running out of options. I was told to try upgrading to 12.4.22 but that version isn't on cisco's site. When I call them they insist I need a smartnet contract before I can speak to an engineer.

Jason, My issue was 100% specific to 12.4(19) - confirmed on 1 x 7204VXR and 1 x 7206VXR. Both routers were unable to boot the 12.4(19) IOS with PA-2FE-FX card present (crash dump with the message that this code does not support the installed port adapter).

On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 11:31:22PM -0400, Jason Berenson wrote: We have 3 7206's used as edge routers. PA-MC-T3 in from our DAX and ethernet out to our transport. So there are a few adjacencies along with iBGP and eBGP. It seems like the router that goes down (flaps OSPF/BGP instance 1) is the only one that takes a hit out of all of them connected to the switches. I've seen one scenario where one router claims it can't hear any OSPF neighbors on an Ethernet, even though the other neighbors issue no complaints. In that case, the router was no longer receiving Ethernet packets, apparently due to an IOS bug. The router was still sending its HELO packets, and the other routers heard them, so they had nothing to complain about. I've seen HSRP (another broadcast-based protocol) get into a similar stuck state. However, you should not see behavior like that with BGP, which uses a TCP session. Both sides should issue alarms when the session flaps, though one side might take longer to report the event (i.e. it may not sense the event until a timeout occurs). I'm leaning away from thinking this is an ethernet issue, but I definitely could be wrong. Based on what you said above, I would say your problem router's Ethernet transmitting is OK (at least for broadcast packets). If you've got Netflow on the box, that would give you some hints as to how receiving is working. And of course, you need to check the switch port statuses. This is where something like Cricket/MRTG/Cacti comes in handy - if they show you that you've had zero errors on those ports going back the last 3 months, then you know the physical medium is probably OK. ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/

Look for intput drops on the 'sh int'. If you don't see any you probably need a sniffer trace on the ethernet segment.

Re: [c-nsp] Cisco 7206VXR OSPF
Ben, We have 3 7206's used as edge routers. PA-MC-T3 in from our DAX and ethernet out to our transport. So there are a few adjacencies along with iBGP and eBGP. It seems like the router that goes down (flaps OSPF/BGP instance 1) is the only one that takes a hit out of all of them connected to the switches.

We are running this unit utilizing PPPoE. Recently, we attempted to insert a PA-MC-T3 card into the unit and program a Multilink PPP connection for a Customer with 3 T1's bonded together. While the individual serial interfaces went up/down, I could not get the PPP to establish as I believe it was attempting to become PPPoE. I placed ppp username/passwords on each Serial Interface for authentication/authorization with no luck. Does anyone know of a work around for this type of situation? Try something like: aaa authorization network PTP none Then under your multilink interface something like: ppp authorization PTP You may need the ppp authorization PTP under each PPP serial link, it's been a while. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor\@(inoc.net|gmail.com) PGP: 0x66F90BFC @ http://pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint = 6296 F715 038B 44C1 2720 292A 8580 500E 66F9 0BFC State-of-the-art: What we could do with enough money. -- Keith J.
