To get the Cisco documentation to work under Windows 2000:
Run regedit
Export your registry (as a precaution)
Locate the Windows 2000 Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/IE4/Setup/Path
Change the value from "%programfiles%\Internet Explorer" to the location
where IE is installed on your system, for example "D:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer"
Uninstall the Cisco Documentation CD
Delete the old install directory
Reinstall the Cisco documentation CD and you should be good to go.

>A: (Oleh Hrynchuk)
You can use timed access-lists in IOS 12.x
You will need the router to synch to a clock source
for accuracy though..
for example:
int ser0/0
ip access-group 101 in
!
access-list 101 remark --FOR THE QUAKE 3 PLAYERS AT THE OFFICE--
access-list 101 permit udp any any range 27850 27999 time-range lunchtime
access-list 101 deny any any
!
time-range lunchtime
periodic weekdays 12:00 to 14:00
periodic weekend 00:00 to 23:59
!

13.1>Q: Download cisco config via SNMP.
>A: (Oleh Hrynchuk)
Using SNMP and the appropriate OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.55, postfix the IP
address as the index for the OID. Use this "OID" as a string set value.
The string value will be the name of the file.
snmpset .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.55.10.10.20.20 string ""
The router will reward you with a nice log message and the file should
appear on the tftp server (in this example, 10.10.20.20).
Be careful as some UN*X tftp servers will not create files, but can only
write to existing files (little security precaution).
A much more interesting exercise is to get a router to read a config from
a tftp server using only snmp...but we'll cover that some other time.

[17.01.2001] >A: (Joe Hishon)
I use a UNIX shell script. You need to have a tftp server also running.
For example if your tftp server is at 192.168.1.1, and your target router
is IP "$IP" and read-write community "$RW" then the important lines are:
'wr mem'
snmpset -c $RW $IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.54.0 integer 1
'wr net'
snmpset -c $RW $IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.55.192.168.1.1 octetstring
routername-confg
for COS switches... 'wr net'
snmpset -c $RW $IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.5.1.0 octetstring 192.168.1.1
snmpset -c $RW $IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.5.2.0 octetstring routername-confg

***Hot News*** Announcing R2 support for the 3600 Digital Modems!!
Hot News!!!
===========
Announcing R2 support for the 3600 family of Digital Modems
=================================================
The 3600 team is pleased to announce R2 support for integrated Digital Modems on the popular Cisco 3600 series platform. This feature is available with the introduction of IOS 12.0(1)T
This new feature supports the use of R2 signalling with the 3600 internal digital modems, enabling high-speed (up to 56kbps) remote access for branch offices and small/mid size ISP's who utilize this specific line-signalling protocol.
This announcement extends the range of connectivity options available for
the 3600 Digital Modems, now supporting:
PRI CAS(CT1) R2 (CE1))
By supporting this flexible range of signalling protocols , the 3600
digital modem solutions can now be deployed on a world-wide basis!
A Country list and Mini Q&A follow.
Countries configurable with R2 on the 3600: (this is a subset of the
supported 5300 R2 countries)
=================================
Argentina Australia Brazil * China *
Columbia Costa Rica
Eastern Europe mode supports:
Croatia Russia * Ecuador (ITU and LME)
Greece Guatemala Hong Kong (China & ITU Variants)
India Indonesia Israel *
ITU mode supports:
Denmark Finland Germany
Russia (ITU variant) *
Hong Kong (ITU variant)
South Africa (ITU variant)
Korea * Malaysia * Mexico (Telmex and Telnor) *
New Zealand * Paraguay Peru
Philippines Saudi Arabia
Note: All countries listed have been tested in house. Countries marked
with a * have also been successfully tested in-country.
Mini Q&A
=========
Q. What is R2 ?
A. R2 is a signaling system (Q.422) used by a number of countries
worldwide. This signaling system runs over an E1 Carrier (2.048Mb/s),
containing 32 64Kb/s timeslots, of which, 30 timeslots can be used
for digital modem calls.
Q. Does this feature require new hardware in the 3600?
A. No
Q. What network modules support this feature?
A. All the current 1/2 PRI NMs, including the new 1FE 1/2 PRI NM.
Q.Is the Cisco Dial-out Utility supported through an R2 connection?
A. Yes. Version 2 of the Cisco Dial-out Utility (available early
November) together with MICA Portware 2.5.1.0 support Dial/Fax out
through the R2 interface
Q. Is this R2 feature supported the Cisco 2600, 3620, and 3640?
A. The ability for Modem calls to be terminated through an R2 interface
is available for all platforms that support Cisco digital modems. This
currently limits R2 support to the 3640/3620
Q. Do I need a new version of the digital modem microcode to support R2?
A. No. All shipping versions of Portware are supported. For information
on Portware and instructions on downloading the latest version, please
visit: http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-access.shtml.
Q. What IOS is required to utilize this feature?
A. IOS 12.0(1)T and above
Q. Can I support ISDN PRI R2, and CAS in the same chassis?
A. Yes, on a per network module basis. Each individual PRI NM can be
configured as R2,CAS or ISDN PRI.
Q. What countries will this R2 feature be available in?
A. At FCS, a subset of the 5300 supported R2 countries will be supported.
All Countries in the list above have been successfully tested internally.
Q. Will the new mixed media FE/PRI support R2?
A. Yes.
Q. Can two PRI/R2 links share one DM NM?
A. Yes. The pool of modems is available to all R2/PRI interfaces.

99.9>Q: - , 1020?
>A: (Gleb Pijov)
Question: How do you recover lost passwords on a Cisco 1020?
Answer:
As the Cisco 1020 is rarely physically secured, password recovery is
done by calling Cisco and providing a system generated CHALLENGE. Using
the override program, the support engineer can provide a one-time
password to use to get into enable mode. Then, follow these steps:
1.Customer: Put up dip switch 1 and apply power. You should see
"Console Username:".
2.Customer : Login with Username "enable" and Password "override". It
will print a CHALLENGE.
3.Cisco runs the override program and prints a RESPONSE.
4.Customer: On the 1020, log in as "enable" and give the RESPONSE as
the password. That will get you the # prompt, then you can do a wr t to
see the current enable password. Or, you can do a config t and reset the
enable password.
99.10>Q: MTU interface tunnel.
>A: "Philipp V. Patrushoff"
BugID: CSCdm54169
>>> [13.09.2000] Vladislav Nebolsine, NB !!!
>>> 11.3(11) 12.0(6)
You cannot change the MTU size of a tunnel interface using software after Cisco IOS Release
+11.3(9.2).
Workarounds:
Use images between Release 11.3(5.1)T and Release 11.3(9.3) or Release 12.0(0.16) and
Release 12.0(4.2). Configure ip mtu on the tunnel interface before you configure tunnel
destination. If tunnel destination is already configured, then unconfigure the destination,
configure ip mtu, and then reconfigure the destination. You need to wait five seconds
after removing the tunnel destination before issuing the ip mtu command. Once the workaround
is issued, there should be no problems in the event of a router reboot as the ip mtu command
is parsed before the tunnel destination.

This FAQ is edited by John Hawkinson, .
Please contribute answers to the questions in the Todo section! If
your answer is somewhat complicated, posting would probably be best
(to comp.dcom.sys.cisco). Otherwise, e-mail it to cisco-faq@panix.com.
Please note that a LOT of these questions have been hanging around for
some time, and if knowledgable people could take the time to answer a
few of them, that'd help.
This draft FAQ is in RFC1153 digest format, so you can follow each
question with your newsreader. I suppose that question-numbers should
be moved to the From: field. Note that Date: fields represent
last-modification times for the questions.
Since this FAQ was first developed, cisco has written up a lot of
useful information on their web site, http://www.cisco.com. If you
can't find what you're looking for here, please check there, too.

What does ``cisco'' stand for?
From: Question 3
Date: 31 October 1994
cisco folklore time:
At one point in time, the first letter in cisco Systems was a
lowercase ``c''. At present, various factions within the company have
adopted a capital ``C'', while fierce traditionalists (as well as some
others) continue to use the lowercase variant, as does the cisco
Systems logo. This FAQ has chosen to use the lowercase variant
throughout.
cisco is not C.I.S.C.O. but is short for San Francisco, so the story
goes. Back in the early days when the founders Len Bosack and Sandy
Lerner and appropriate legal entities were trying to come up with a
name they did many searches for non similar names, and always came up
with a name which was denied. Eventually someone suggested ``cisco''
and the name wasn't taken (although SYSCO may be confusingly similar
sounding). There was an East Coast company which later was using the
``CISCO'' name (I think they sold in the IBM marketplace) they ended
up having to not use the CISCO abberviation. Today many people spell
cisco with a capital ``C'', citing problems in getting the lowercase
``c'' right in publications, etc. This lead to at least one amusing
article headlined ``Cisco grows up''. This winter we will celebrate
our 10th year.

How do I save the configuration of a cisco?
From: Question 4
Date: 31 October 1994
If you have a tftp server available, you can create a file on the
server for your router to write to, and then use the write network
command. From a typical unix system:
mytftpserver$ touch /var/spool/tftpboot/myconfig
mytftpserver$ chmod a+w /var/spool/tftpboot/myconfig
myrouter#write net
Remote host [10.7.0.63]? 10.7.0.2
Name of configuration file to write [myrouter-confg]? myconfig
Write file foobar on host 10.7.0.2? [confirm] y
Additionally, there's a Macintosh TFTP server available:
ftp://nic.switch.ch/software/mac/peterlewis/tftpd-100.sit.hqx
Additionally, you can also use expect, available from:
ftp://ftp.uu.net/languages/tcl/expect/expect.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.cme.nist.gov/expect/expect.tar.gz
or, in shar form from ftpeng.cisco.com.
Expect allows you to write a script which telnets to the router and
performs a ``write terminal'' command, or any other arbitrary set of
command(s), using a structured scripting language (Tcl).

How can I get my cisco to talk to a third party router over a serial link?
From: Question 7
Date: 5 July 1994
You need to tell your cisco to use the same link-level protocol as the
other router; by default, ciscos use a rather bare variant of HDLC
(High-level Data Link Control) all link-level protocols use at some
level/layer or another. To make your cisco operate with most other
routers, you need to change the encapsulation from HDLC to PPP on the
relevant interfaces. For instance:
sewer-cgs#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Edit with DELETE, CTRL/W, and CTRL/U; end with CTRL/Z
interface serial 1
encapsulation ppp
^Z
sewer-cgs#sh int s 1
Serial 1 is administratively down, line protocol is down
Hardware is MCI Serial
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255
Encapsulation PPP, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[...]
If you're still having trouble, you might wish to turn on serial interface
debugging:
sewer-cgs#ter mon
sewer-cgs#debug serial-interface
------------------------------
How can I get my cisco to talk to a 3rd-party router over Frame Relay?
From: Question 8
Date: 27 July 1994
You should tell your cisco to use ``encapsulation frame-relay ietf''
(instead of ``encapsulation frame-relay'') on your serial interface
that's running frame relay if your frame relay network contains a
diverse set of manufacturers' routers. The keyword ``ietf'' specifies
that your cisco will use RFC1294-compliant encapsulation, rather than
the default, RFC1490-compliant encapsulation (other products, notably
Novell MPR 2.11, use a practice sanctioned by 1294 but deemed verbotten
by 1490, namely padding of the nlpid). If only a few routers in your
frame relay cloud require this, then you can use the default
encapsulation on everything and specify the exceptions with the
frame-relay map command:
frame-relay map ip 10.1.2.3 56 broadcast ietf
^^^^
(ietf stands for Internet Engineering Task Force, the body which
evaluates Standards-track RFCs; this keyword is a misnomer as both
RFC1294 and RFC1490 are ietf-approved, however 1490 is most recent and
is a Draft Standard (DS), whereas 1294 is a Proposed Standard (one step
beneath a DS), and is effectively obsolete).
------------------------------
From: Question 9
Date: 26 July 1994
The ``terminal monitor'' command directs your cisco to send debugging
output to the current session. It's necessary to turn this on each time
you telnet to your router to view debugging information. After that,
you must specify the specific types of debugging you wish to turn on;
please note that these stay on or off until changed, or until the
router reboots, so remember to turn them off when you're done.
Debugging messages are also logged to a host if you have trap logging
enabled on your cisco. You can check this like so:
sl-panix-1>sh logging
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
Console logging: level debugging, 66 messages logged
Monitor logging: level debugging, 0 messages logged
Trap logging: level debugging, 69 message lines logged
Logging to 198.7.0.2, 69 message lines logged
sl-panix-1>
If you have syslog going to a host somewhere and you then set about a
nice long debug session from a term your box is doing double work and
sending every debug message to your syslog server. Additionally, if you
turn on something that provides copious debugging output, be careful
that you don't overflow your disk (``debug ip-rip'' is notorious for
this).
One solution to this is to only log severity ``info'' and higher:
sl-panix-1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
logging trap info
The other solution is to just be careful and remember to turn off
debugging. This is easy enough with:
sl-panix-1#undebug all
If you have a heavily loaded box, you should be aware that debugging
can load your router. The console has a higher priority than a vty so
don't debug from the console; instead, disable console logging:
cix-west.cix.net#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
no logging console
Then always debug from a vty. If the box is busy and you are a little
too vigorous with debugging and the box is starting to sink, quickly
run, don't walk to your console and kill the session on the vty. If
you are on the console your debugging has top prioority and then the
only way out is the power switch. This of course makes remote
debugging a real sweaty palms adventure especially on a crowded box.
Caveat debugger!
Also, if you for some reason forget what the available debug commands
are and don't have a manual handy, remember that's what on-line help
is for. Under pre 9.21 versions, ``debug ?'' lists all commands. Under
9.21 and above, that gives you general categories, and you can check
for more specific options by specifying the category: ``debug ip ?''.
As a warning, the ``logging buffered'' feature causes all debug
streams to be redirected to an in-memory buffer, so be careful using
that.
Lastly, if you're not sure what debugging criteria you need, you can
try ``debug all''. BE CAREFUL! It is way useful, but only in a very
controlled environment, where you can turn off absolutely everything
you're not interested in. Saves a lot of thinking. Turning it on on
a busy box can quickly cause meltdown.
------------------------------
How can I use NTP (Network Time Protocol) with my cisco?
From: Question 10
Date: 5 July 1994
>What level of software is required for NTP support in
>a cisco router?
9.21 or above.
>Which cisco routers support NTP?
It is a software feature exclusively. Anything that supports
9.21 or 10 will run NTP (when running that s/w).
>How do I set it up?
The basic hook is:
ntp server [version n]
or
ntp peer [version n]
depending on whether you want a client/server or peer relationship.
There's a bunch of other stuff available for MD5 authentication,
broadcast, access control, etc. You can also use the
context-sensitive help feature to puzzle it out; try ``ntp ?'' in
config mode.
You'll also want to play with the SHOW NTP * router commands. Here
are two examples.
EXAMPLE 1:
router# show ntp assoc
address ref clock st when poll reach delay offset disp
+~128.9.2.129 .WWVB. 1 109 512 377 97.8 -2.69 26.7
*~132.249.16.1 .GOES. 1 309 512 357 55.4 -1.34 27.5
* master (synced), # master (unsynced), + selected, - candidate, ~ configured
EXAMPLE 2:
router#show ntp stat
Clock is synchronized, stratum 2, reference is 132.249.16.1
nominal freq is 250.0000 Hz, actual freq is 249.9981 Hz, precision is 2**19
reference time is B1A8852D.B69201EE (12:36:13.713 PDT Tue Jun 14 1994)
clock offset is -1.34 msec, root delay is 55.40 msec
root dispersion is 41.29 msec, peer dispersion is 28.96 msec
For particular cisco NTP questions, feel free to ask in comp.dcom.sys.cisco.
For broader NTP info, see ftp://louie.udel.edu:pub/ntp/doc. The file
clock.txt in that directory has info about various public NTP servers.
There is also information on radio time receivers that can be
connected to an NTP server (this is handy on private networks, if you
have an entire campus to get chiming, or if you become a hard core
chimer).
The ``ntp clock-period'' command is added automagically to jump-start
the NTP frequency compensation when the box is rebooted. This is
essentially a representation of the frequency of the crystal used as
the local timebase, and may take several days to calculate otherwise.
(Do a ``write mem'' after a week or so to save a good value.)
Caveat of obsolecence: Note that the CS-500 will not be able to
achieve quite the same level of accuracy as other platforms, since its
hardware clock resolution is roughly 242Hz instead of the 1MHz
available on other platforms. In practice this shouldn't matter for
anyone other than true time geeks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample cisco NTP Configurations
From: Question 11
Date: 5 July 1994
You will need to substitute your own NTP peers, timezones, and GMT
offsets into the examples below, of course. Example 1 is in US Central
Time Zone, while example 3 is in US Pacific Time Zone. Both account
for normal US Daylight Savings Time practices.
EXAMPLE 1 (Charley Kline):
...
clock timezone CST -6
clock summer-time CDT recurring
ntp source eth 0
ntp peer
ntp peer
ntp peer
...
EXAMPLE 2 (Tony Li):
...
ntp source Ethernet0/0
ntp update-calendar
ntp peer
ntp peer prefer
...
EXAMPLE 3 (Dave Katz):
...
service timestamps debug datetime localtime
service timestamps log datetime localtime
clock timezone PST -8
clock summer-time PDT recurring
interface Ethernet0
ip address
ntp broadcast
ntp clock-period 17180319
ntp source Ethernet0
ntp server
ntp server
ntp server
COMMENTS ON EXAMPLE 3:
The config file is commented with date and time (and user id,
if TACACS is enabled) when the system thinks the clock is accurate.
I've enabled timestamping of debug and syslog messages. I send NTP
broadcast packets out onto the local ethernet. I'm in Pacific
Standard Time, with U.S. standard daylight saving time rules. I use
the IP address of the ethernet as the source for all NTP packets.
------------------------------
How do I avoid the annoying DNS lookup if I have misspelled a command?
From: Question 12
Date: 5 July 1994
By default, all lines are configured to automatically try a telnet
connection if the first word in a input line is not recognized as a
valid command. You can disable this by setting ``transport preferred
none'' on every line (con, aux and vty). For instance:
sl-panix-1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
line vty 0 10
transport preferred none
You can see the number of vty's currently configuered with ``show lines''
Also, you can suspend connect attempts with ^^ followed by ``x'', ie
shift-cntrl-6 x.
[It has been suggested that ``no ip ipname-lookup'' to turn off IEN116
helps. I think this is the default -jhawk ]
------------------------------
Tracing bad routing information
From: Question 13
Date: 31 Oct 1994
or: How do I find out which non-cisco systems on my networks generate IP-RIP
information without letting them mess up my routing tables.
Here you could work with a default administrative distance.
Administrative distance is the basis upon which the cisco prefers
routing information of one protocol over another. In this example:
router rip
network 192.125.254.0
distance 255
distance 120 192.125.254.17 ! list all valid RIP suppliers
[...]
the value 255 has the implicit meaning of not putting this information
into the routing table. Therefore, setting an administrative distance
of 255 means that all RIP suppliers are by default accepted but their
information is not put into the routing table. The administrative
distance for the router 192.125.244.17 has been reset to the default
(for RIP) of 120, causing its routes to be accepted into the routing table.
Then you can look them up with ``show ip protocols'' and restore the
original administrative distance for the ones you want to fill in the
routing table.
The same results can be acheived with an ip access-list, but with
that, ``show ip protocols'' will only show the valid ones. But often
it is more useful to see which systems were generating routing
information at all.
This trick works for other routing protocols as well, but please select
the proper adminstrative distance (rather than 120) for the protocol
you're using.

personal account]
PSC's domain is in mid-setup
Where in the router are access lists applied?
In general, Basic access lists are executed as filters on
outgoing interfaces. Newer releases of the cisco code, such as
9.21 and 10, do have increased ability to filter on incoming ports.
Certain special cases, such as broadcasts and bridged traffic,
can be filtered on incoming interfaces in earlier releases.
There are also special cases involving console access.
Rules, written as ACCESS-LIST statements, are global for the entire
cisco box; they are activated on individual outgoing interfaces by
ACCESS-GROUP subcommands of the INTERFACE major command.
Filters are applied after traffic has entered on an incoming
interface and gone through a routing process; traffic that originates in
a router (e.g., telnets from the console port) is not subject to
filtering.
+-------------------+
| GLOBAL |
| |
| Routing |
| ^ v Access |
| ^ v Lists |
+-^--v--------^---v-+
| ^ v ^ v |
| ^ v ^ v |
A----------->|-| |>>>>Access >>----------->B
|1 Group 2 |
<------------| |<-----------
| |
| |
+-------------------+
Some types of ``filter,'' using ``filter'' as a broader class than
ACCESS-LIST, can operate on incoming traffic. For example, the INPUT-
SAP-FILTER used for Novell networks is applied to Service Advertisement
Packets (SAP) seen at incoming interfaces. In general, incoming
filtering can only be done for ``system'' rather than user traffic.
Rules of thumb in defining access lists.
First, define what you want to do and in which directions. An
informal drawing is a good first step. As opposed to the usual
connectivity drawings among routers, it's often convenient to draw
unidirectional links between routers.
Second, informally write out your filtering rules. In general, it
is best to go from most specific to least specific. Modify the order of
writing things to minimize the number of rules needed.
Third, determine which rules need to be on which routers.
Explicitly consider the direction of flow, and the possible existence of
additional paths that could inadvertently bypass a filter.
Can a cisco router be a ``true'' firewall?
This depends on the definition of firewall. Some writers (e.g.,
Gene Spafford in _Practical UNIX Security_) define a firewall as a
host on which an ``inside'' and/or an ``outside'' application process run,
with application-level code linking the two. For example, a firewall
might provide FTP access to the outside world, but it would not also
provide direct FTP service to the inside world. To place a file on
the FTP external server, a designated user would explicitly log onto
the FTP server, transfer a file to the server, and log off. The
firewall prevents direct FTP connectivity between the inside and
outside networks; only indirect, application-level connectivity is
allowed.
Firewalls of this sort are complemented by chokes, which filter on
network addresses and/or port numbers. Cisco routers cannot do
application-level control with access control lists.
Other authors do not distinguish between chokes and filters. Using
the loose definition that a firewall is anything that selectively blocks
access from the inside to the outside, routers can be firewalls.
IP Specific
-----------
Can the ``operand'' field be used with a protocol keyword of IP to filter
on protocol ID?
No. Operand filtering only works for TCP and UDP port numbers.
How can I prevent traffic for a certain Internet application to flow in
one direction but not the other?
Remember that Internet applications flow from client port to server
port. Denying traffic from port 23, for example, blocks flow from the
client to the server.
+-------------------+
| |
A----------->| |----------->B
|1 2|
<------------| |<-----------
| |
+-------------------+
If we deny traffic to Port 23 of address B by placing a filter at
interface 2, we have blocked A's ability to telnet to B, but not B's
ability to telnet to A. A second filter at interface A would be needed
to block telnet in both directions.
Assume that we only have the filter at interface 2. Telnets to A
from B will not be affected because the filter at 2 does not check
incoming traffic.
-------
With the arrival of in-bound access lists in 9.21, it should be noted
that both inbound and access lists are about equally efficient, in
case any of you were wondering.
It's worth remembering that there are some kinds of problems
that packet-filtering firewalls are not best suited for. There's
reasonably good information in:
"Network (in)security through packet filtering"
ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/firewalls/pkt_filtering.ps.Z
------------------------------
From: Question 15
Date: 26 July 1994
What really happens when a cisco router boots, from boot start to live
interfaces?
First it boots the ROM os version. It reads the config. Now, it
realizes that you want to netboot. It loads the netbooted copy in on
top of itself. It then re-initializes the box and re-reads the
config. Manly, yes, but we like it too....
[[ Ummm... in particular it loads the netbooted copy in as WELL as
itself, decompresses it, if necessary, and THEN loads on top of
itself. Note that this is important because it tells you what the
memory requirements are for netbooting: RAM for ROM image (if it's a
run from RAM image), plus dynamic data structures, plus RAM for
netbooted image. ]]
The four ways to boot and what happens (sort of):
I (from bootstrap mode)
The ROM monitor is running. The I command causes the ROM monitor to
walk all of the hardware in the bus and reset it with a brute force
hammer. If the bits in the config register say to auto-boot, then
goto B
B (from bootstrap mode)
Load the OS from ROM. If a name is given, tell that image to start
silently and then load a new image. If the boot system command is
given, then start silently and load a new image.
powercycle
Does some delay stuff to let the power settle. Goto I.
reload (from the EXEC)
Goto I.

How do cisco routers rate performance-wise?
From: Question 19
Date: 27 July 1994
People often ask about performance of the cisco routers and are shyed
away from answering their questions because we don't know where to send
them.
Scott Bradner keeps the results of his performance tests on the
Internet. You can find them for ftp on the system hsdndev.harvard.edu
in the /pub/ndtl. There is a README file in that directory that
explains what is available. In addition, cisco has just started
publishing a piece of literature called ``The Harvard Benchmark Test
Results: Summary of cisco Systems Performance''. The only number I
can find on the doc is Lit. #700901. Don't know if you can order it
by this number, but at least there's a title to go on.
------------------------------
How are packets switched?
From: Question 20
Date: 22 April 1996
There are 3 basic types of switching (in order of increasing performance).
process switching
fast switching
autonomous switching
Process and fast switching support inbound and outbound, simple and
extended, access lists. Of course, for fast switching, such lists only
restrict traffic on the particular fast-switched interface.
Autonomous switching is done in the switch processor, a microcoded device that
is capable of switching IP, IPX, and bridging packets in the 100kpps range.
This is known as the "SP" card on the 7000 and the CBUS controller on the AGS+.
Encapsulation support is rather limited (Ethernet, HDLC, HSSI...).
The cisco 7000 also supports:
silicon switching
Silicon switching is done in the silicon switching engine (creative, eh? ;-).
The silicon switch processor (SSP) is the board which combines both the
switch processor and a silicon switching engine.
The SSP supports simple and extended outbound access lists in 10.3 and later.
The SSP supports simple and extended inbound access lists in 11.1 and later.
The cisco 75xx series supports:
"optimal" switching (cruddy name, eh?)
"flow" switching
"distributed" switching
* "optimal" switching (cruddy name, eh?)
The 7500 platform does not have a separate SP or SSP card, rather the RISC
processor on the "integrated route/switch processor card (IRSP)" handles
switching directly, similar to the 4000 series routers. There are several
hardware and software enhancements made though to increase the throughput to
a level that is several times above what you would normally get from "fast"
switching. Everything that "fast" switching supports is supported in
"optimal" switching.
* "flow" switching
Basicly the "optimal" switching method, however things have been front-ended
with an additional small "flow" cache. This flow cache contains information
about source/destination addresses & ports which allow the router to make more
informed queueing decisions and process access lists faster. This is a win in
routers that would tend to carry a reasonably small number of flows at any one
time, such as what you would expect in a corporate network or in a smaller
internet service provider network. It's unclear if there are any advantages
in a large internet backbone.
* "distributed" switching
cisco has announced a new type of interface-processor card, called a "VIP"
available in the 7500 platform that is intelligent enough to switch packets
with no intervention on the part of the IRSP card. This once again separates
switching from routing, as in the earlier CBUS/SP/SSP design.
The first packet of every session or connection is always Process Switched.
The route table is consulted (this resides in DRAM on the CPU) and the
"result" is cached in the system memory cache. If the protocol can only be
process switched, then it will continue this way and interrupt the CPU for a
route table lookup each time. [comment: Process Switching is brutally slow
compared to other switching methods. Some features (usually new features do
this for the first few software releases) force every packet to be process
switched. If you can't avoid process-switching every packet, at least get a
router with a fast CPU, such as the 75xx, 4500, and 4700. The 4700 is
currently the fastest at process-switching packets, with the 4500 and 75xx
tied for second. The 75xx can optimum-switch, however, so it's a lot faster
than either of the 4x00s, if you can use it).
The second and subsequent packets of each session are capable of being Fast
Switched (more session types are becoming fast-switchable), and will consult
only the route-cache. This still involves a memory lookup on the board, but
the packet can be transferred from the source card directly to the
destination card without requiring full storage on the CSC [the CSC refers
to the CPU card, basically].
There are some undocumented commands that are useful for obtaining
per-interface statistics on what sort of switching was performed.
For instance:
frobozz-magic-robot>sh int atm4/0 switch
ATM4/0
Throttle count: 0
Protocol Path Pkts In Chars In Pkts Out Chars Out
IP Process 104851 7669968 116378 11180988

Route cache/FIB 0 0 0 0
Distributed cache 0 0 0 0
Total 105024 7679155 116422 11184108

How does one interpret buffer statistics?
From: Question 21
Date: 31 October 1994
Buffer statistics may be obtained with:
mit2-gw.near.net>sh buffers
Buffer elements:
433 in free list (500 max allowed)
82320311 hits, 0 misses, 0 created
Small buffers, 104 bytes (total 202, permanent 120):
185 in free list (20 min, 250 max allowed)
34289219 hits, 4297 misses, 1307 trims, 1389 created
Middle buffers, 600 bytes (total 104, permanent 90):
102 in free list (10 min, 200 max allowed)
6829533 hits, 1432 misses, 483 trims, 497 created
Big buffers, 1524 bytes (total 90, permanent 90):
90 in free list (5 min, 300 max allowed)
3403884 hits, 56 misses, 1 trims, 1 created
Large buffers, 5024 bytes (total 5, permanent 5):
5 in free list (0 min, 30 max allowed)
49984 hits, 13 misses, 20 trims, 20 created
Huge buffers, 18024 bytes (total 0, permanent 0):
0 in free list (0 min, 4 max allowed)
0 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
5683 failures (0 no memory)
You can interpret them:
Total Number of buffers of that size that exist.
Free Number of free buffers.
Max Maximum size that the free list can grow to before we start
throwing them away.
Hit Buffer got used.
Miss Someone requested a buffer and we had to go carve it up out of
free memory. If we couldn't because we were at interrupt
level, it's also an allocation failure. If we couldn't
because we were out of memory, then it's also a ``no memory''
failure.
Trim There are more free buffers on the free list than there need
to be and we threw some away.
Create Number of buffers we created after a miss.
------------------------------
How should I restrict access to my router?
From: Question 22
Date: 22 April 1996
Many admins are concerned about unauthorized access to their routers
from malicious people on the Internet; one way to prevent this
is to restrict access to your router on the basis of IP address.
Many people do this, however it should be noted that a significant number
of network service providers allow unrestricted access to their routers
to allow others to debug, examine routes, etc. If you're comfortable doing
this, so much the better, and we thank you!
If you wish to restrict access to your router, select a free IP access
list (numbered from 1-100) -- enter ``sh access-list'' to see those
numbers in use.
yourrouter#sh access-list
Standard IP access list 5
permit 192.94.207.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
Next, enter the IP addresses you wish to allow access to your router
from; remember that access lists contain an implicit "deny everything"
at the end, so there is no need to include that. In this case, 30
is free:
yourrouter#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
yourrouter(config)#access-list 30 permit 172.30.0.0 0.0.255.255
yourrouter(config)#^Z
(This permits all IP addreses in the network 172.30.0.0, i.e. 172.30.*.*).
Enter multiple lines for multiple addresses; be sure that you don't
restrict the address you may be telnetting to the router from.
Next, examine the output of ``sh line'' for all the vty's (Virtual ttys)
that you wish to apply the access list to. In this example, I want
lines 2 through 12:
yourrouter#sh line
Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns
0 CTY - - - - - 0 0 0/0
1 AUX 9600/9600 - - - - - 1 3287605 1/0
* 2 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 55 0 0/0
3 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 4 0 0/0
4 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 0 0 0/0
5 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 0 0 0/0
6 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 0 0 0/0
7 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 0 0 0/0
8 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 0 0 0/0
9 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 0 0 0/0
10 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - 7 0 0 0/0
11 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 0 0 0/0
12 VTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 0 0 0/0
Apply the access list to the relevant lines:
yourrouter#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
yourrouter(config)#line 2 12
yourrouter(config-line)# access-class 30 in
yourrouter(config-line)# ^Z
(This apply access list 30 to lines 2 through 12. It's important to
restrict access to the aux port (line 1) if you have a device (such
as a CSU/DSU) plugged into it.a)
Be sure to save your configuration with ``write mem''.
Please note that access lists for incoming telnet connections do NOT
cause your router to perform significant CPU work, unlike access lists
on interfaces.
------------------------------
What can I do about source routing?
From: Question 23
Date: 1 November 1994
What *is* source routing?
Soure routing is an IP option which allows the originator of a packet
to specify what path that packet will take, and what path return packets
sent back to the originator will take. Source routing is useful when the
default route that a connection will take fails or is suboptimal for some
reason, or for network diagnostic purposes. For more information on
source routing, see RFC791.
Unfortunately, source routing is often abused by malicious users on
the Internet (and elsewhere), and used to make a machine (A), think
it is talking to a different machine (B), when it is really talking to
a third machine (C). This means that C has control over B's ip address
for some purposes.
The proper way to fix this is to configure machine A to ignore
source-routed packets where appropriate. This can be done for most
unix variants by installing a package such as Wietse Venema,
,'s tcp_wrapper:
ftp://cert.org:pub/tools/tcp_wrappers
For some operating systems, a kernel patch is required to make this
work correctly (notably SunOS 4.1.3). Also, there is an unofficial
kernel patch available for SunOS 4.1.3 which turns all source routing
off; I'm not sure where this is available, but I believe it was posted
to the firewalls list by Brad Powell soimetime in mid-1994.
If disabling source routing on all your clients is not posssible, a
last resort is to disable it at your router. This will make you unable
to use ``traceroute -g'' or ``telnet @hostname1:hostname2'', both
of which use LSRR (Loose Source Record Route, 2 IP options, the first
of which is a type of source routing), but may be necessary for some.
If so, you can do this with
foo-e-0#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
foo-e-0(config)#no ip source-route
foo-e-0(config)#^Z
It is somewhat unfortunate that you cannot be selective about this; it
disables all forwarding of source-routed packets through the router,
for all interfaces, as well as source-routed packets to the router
(the last is unfortunate for the purposes of ``traceroute -g'').
------------------------------
Is there a block of private IP addresses I can use?
From: Question 24
Date: 22 April 1996
Yes there is, however whether you wish to do so is an issue of
some debate.
You could consult:
1627 Network 10 Considered Harmful (Some Practices Shouldn't be
Codified). E. Lear, E. Fair, D. Crocker & T. Kessler. June 1994.
(Format: TXT=18823 bytes)
1918 Address Allocation for Private Internets. Y. Rekhter, B.
Moskowitz, D. Karrenberg, G. J. de Groot & E. Lear. February 1996.
(Format: TXT=22270 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC1627, RFC1597) (Also BCP0005)
In any event, RFC 1918 documents the allocation of the following
addresses for use by ``private internets'':
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Most importantly, it is vital that nothing using these addresses
should ever connect to the global Internet, or have plans to do so.
Please read the above RFCs before considering implementing such
a policy.
As an additional note, some Internet providers provide network-management
services, statistics gathering, etc. It is unlikely (if at all possible)
that they would be willing to perform those services if you choose to
utilize private address space.
With the increasing popularity and reliability of address translation
gateways, this practice is becoming more widely accepted. Cisco has acquired
Network Translation, who manufacture such a product. It is now available as
the Cisco Private Internet Exchange. With it, you can use any addressing you
want on your private internet, and the gateway will insure that the invalid
addresses are converted before making out onto the global Internet. It also
makes a good firewall. Information on this product is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/751/pix/index.html
------------------------------
From: Question 25
Date: 18 April 1995
DHCP, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (RFC1533), is essentially
a more extended and flexible version of BOOTP, which allows configuration
parameters and other control information to be carried to hosts.
Forwarding of DHCP packets (to a DHCP server elsewhere in the network) is
supported in 9.21(4) and 10.0(3), as well as later releases.
------------------------------
Where can I get cisco documentation?
From: Question 26
Date: 18 April 1995
Cisco no longer distributes printed documentation with their routers;
instead, they distribute a CDROM.
Paper documentation may be purchased, however if you purchase a
support contract, documentation is free.
Cisco documentation is also available on the web -- if you have
a fast Internet conneciton this may be more useful
than the CD. Try:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/data/doc/product.htm

What's the latest software for the CSC/3?
From: Question 27
Date: 18 April 1995
The last supported release on the CSC/3 is 9.1(15). cisco
does not plan to release further software for the CSC/3.
------------------------------
What IP routing protocol should I use?
From: Question 28
Date: 19 May 1995
This is a really complicated question, and a full answer
is beyond the scope of this document. Here are the beginnings
of an answer.
Note that Hello is no longer shipped with cisco routers, and that EGP has been
declared Historical (and thus obsolete) by the IETF. Don't use them.
Protocol RIP HELLO IGRP OSPF EIGRP IS-IS EGP BGP4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type IGP IGP IGP IGP IGP IGP EGP EGP
Algorithm DV DV DV SPF DUAL SPF DV PV
Metrics Hopcnt Delay Speed Arb. Speed Arb. Policy Policy
Convergence Slow Unstb Mdt Fast Fast Fast Slow Fast
Standard? IETF No No IETF No ISO Hist. IETF
Complexity Simple Simple Simple Complx Complx Complx Simple Complx
Multipath? Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes [*]
Var-netmask? No No No Yes Yes Yes No YES
Notes
-----
IGP = interior gateway protocol, used to build routing tables within an AS.
EGP = exterior gateway protocol, used to communicate reachability
information between AS's.
Algorithms
----------
DUAL = DV with diffusing update algorithm (Garcia-Luna-Aceves et al)
DV = Distance Vector (Bellman-Ford)
PV = "Path Vector"
SPF = Shortest-path-first (Dijkstra)
Metrics
-------
A metric is how the protocol measures the network to determine the
"best" path.
"Speed" refers typically to link speed, not available bandwidth.
"Arb." indicates that the metrics are arbitrary and configurable.
HELLO tried to use available bandwidth by monitoring round-trip delay,
but was not generally successful at this.
Metrics are not directly exchangable when redistributing routing
information from one protocol to another. IGRP and EIGRP use
compatible and automatically convertable metrics.
Convergence
-----------
Qualitatively, convergence measures how fast routers using this
protocol will adapt to changes in the topology of the network.
"Unstb" indicates a protocol which in general never decided on a
stable configuration but continually oscillated between alternatives.
Complexity
----------
An observation of how complex the protocol is to implement.
Multipath
---------
Multipath indicates whether the protocol support and transport
multiple equal- or different- cost pathways across between endpoints?
[*] indicates that BGP4 supports multipath for IBGP (Internal BGP, a
full mesh of all border routers within an AS), but not for EBGP
(External BGP).
Variable netmask (Var-netmask)
------------------------------
Indicates whether the protocol allows for and transports different
masks for the subnets of a routed network.
------------------------------
How do I interpret the output of ``show version''?
From: Question 29
Date: 18 April 1995
Typing ``show version'' or ``show hardware'' yields a response like:
prospect-gw.near.net>sh version
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) GS Software (GS7), Experimental Version 10.2(11829) [pst 113]
System-type (imagename) Version major.minor(release.interim)[who] Desc
System-type: type of system the software is designed to run on.
imagename: The name of the image. This is different (slightly) for
run-from-rom, run-from-flash, and run-from-ram images, and also
for subset images which both were and will be more common.
"Version": text changes slightly. For example, if an engineer gives you
a special version of software to try out a bug fix, this will say
experimental version.
Major: Major version number. Changes (in theory) when there have been
major feature additions and changes to the softare.
Minor: minor version number. Smaller but still signficant feature added.
(in reality, cisco is not very sure what the difference between
"major" and "minor" is, and sometimes politics gets in the way,
but either of these "incrementing" indicates feature additions.)
EXCEPT: 9.14, 9.17, and 9.1 are all somewhat similar. 9.1 is
the base, 9.14 adds specical feature for low end systems, 9.17
added special features specific the high end (cisco-7000) This
was an experiment that we are trying not to repeat.
release: increments (1 2 3 4 ...) for each maintenance release of released
software. Increments for every compile in some other places.
interim: increments on every build of the "release tree", which happens
weekly for each release, but is only made into a generically
shipping maintenance release every 7 to 8 weeks or so.
[who]: who built it. Has "fc 1" or similar for released software.
has something like [billw 101] for test software built Bill
Westfield (billw@cisco.com).
Desc: additional description.
The idea is that the image name and version number UNIQUELY identify
a set of sources and debugging information somewhere back at cisco,
should anything go wrong.

What is the maximum number of Frame Relay PVCs?
From: Question 30
Date: 22 April 1996
This is covered fairly thoroughly in Product Info/Product
Bulletin/Frame Relay Broadcast Queue, Cisco Product Bulletin # 256,
available on CIO.
Via the web (requires CIO username and pasword)
http://cio.cisco.com/warp/customer/417/38.html
An excerpt:
(Virtual Interfaces)
It should be noted that in the IOS (Internetworking Operating System)
10.0 software there is a limit of 256 Virtual and physical
interfaces. Hence, if each DLCI is given its own virtual interface,
the router is limited to 256 DLCIs. This restriction is expected to be
removed in a future release.
In most scenarios, it is not necessary that each DLCI have its own
Virtual Interface. In particular, IP has the facility which allows
disabling of split-horizon routing and hence does not require Virtual
Interfaces to support partial mesh topologies.
(Appendix 1: How many DLCIs Can Cisco Support on an Interface?)
This question is similar to the question of how many PCs can you put
on an Ethernet. In general, you can put a lot more than you should
given performance and availability constraints.
When dimensioning a router in a large network, the following issues
should be considered:
DLCI Address Space: The only hard limits are the roughly 1000 DLCI
limit due to the 10 bit DLCI address space in the Frame Relay frame
header.
LMI Status Update: The LMI protocol requires that all status reports
fit into a single packet and generally limits the number of DLCIs to
less than 800.
Max DLCIs (approx) = (MTU -20)/5,
where MTU is the MTU size in bytes on the Frame Relay link.
Broadcast Replication: When sending, the router must replicate the
packet on each DLCI and this causes congestion on the access link. The
Broadcast Queue reduces this problem. In general, the network should
designed to keep the routing update load to below 20 percent of the
access lines speed. It is also important that memory requirements for
the Broadcast Queue be considered. A good technique to reduce this
restriction is the use of default route or extending the update
timers.
Broadcast Receipt: When receiving, the router must receive updates
from the network. The issue here is that the upstream switch can be
overloaded and drop packets. When routing updates are dropped, routing
instability occurs. Again, the receiving routing update load should be
kept to less than 20 percent of the access link speed and preferably
lower. Where very high speed links are used, a limit of 128 Kbit/s
worth of routing updates is recommended.
Routing Stability: When using a link state protocol to reduce the
update traffic, the dimensioning should be done assuming the periodic
update process and the worst case for Link State Updates (i.e.,
assuming link and power instability). Dimensioning should not be based
on the Hello traffic. As a rule of thumb, dimension assuming a
distance vector protocol, but assume that extra bandwidth is available
for user data.
User Data Traffic: Clearly, the number of DLCIs is dependent on the
traffic on each DLCI and the performance requirements to be met. In
general, Frame Relay accesses should be run at lower loads than
router-to-router links since the prioritisation capabilities are not
as strong in many cases and in general the marginal costs of
increasing access link speed are lower than with dedicated lines.
Many of the issues covered here are included in the Internet Design
Guide manual that Cisco provides.
Update:
The limit of 256 PVCs goes away in IOS 11.1. I think the number is now
something like 1024 per router or some even more ludicrous number. There are
still lots of reasons you never want to do that. ;-)

How much memory is necessary to telnet to a cisco router?
From: Question 31
Date: 18 April 1995
In order to login to a cisco router, it needs to have at least 64k
of contiguous free memory.

When are static routes redistributed?
From: Question 32
Date: 19 May 1995
In the simple case, any static route *in the routing table* is
redistributed if the ``redistribute static'' command is used, and some
filter (set with either ``route-map'' or ``distribute-list out'')
doesn't filter it out.
Whether the static route gets into routing table depends on:
Whether the next hop address is reachable (if you use
static route pointing to a next hop)
OR
Whether the interface is up (if you use static route
pointing to an interface).
If one of these is true, an attempt is made to add the route to the
routing table; whether that succeeds depends on the administrative
distance of the route -- a lower administrative distance (the route
is "closer") than a preexisting route will cause the preexisting route
to be overwritten.
------------------------------
When is the next hop of a route considered ``reachable''?
From: Question 33
Date: 19 May 1995
When a static route is added, or during an important event (eg:
interface up/down transition), the next hop for a route is looked up
from the routing table (i.e. recursive routing).
As a consequence, if a route which is depended upon for evaluation
of the next hop of a static route goes away, a mechanism is required
to remove that (now-invalid) static route.
Scanning all static routes each time the routing table changes is
too expensive, so instead, a period timer is used. One a minute, static
routes are added and removed from the routing table based on the routes
they depend upon.
It should be noted that a particular static route will be reevaluated
when its interface transitions up or down.

How do name and phone number of ``dialer map'' interfere?
From: Question 35
Date: 22 April 1996
How do name and phone number of `dialer map' interfere?
We use the telephone number first actually. If the
caller id matches the telephone number to call, then you don't need the
'name' parameter with a phone number.
I realized that the above is ambiguous, so let's do this. You have:
dialer map ip x.x.x.x name
is used for incoming authentication. It can be either the hostname,
for PAP and CHAP, or it can be a number as returned by caller id. If this
is not there, and it is an imcoming call, and there is caller id, we will
compare against to see if that matches.
Not sure I've been clear here.

What's the purpose of the network command?
From: Question 36
Date: 22 April 1996
>* what is the real purpose of the network subcommand of
> router commands? When do I not want to include a network
> I know about?
The real purpose of the 'network' sub-command of the router commands is to
indicate what networks that this router is connected to are to be
advertised in the indicated routing protocol or protocol domain. For
example, if OSPF and EIGRP are configured, some subnets may be advertised
in one and some in the other. The network command enables one to do this.
An example of such a case is a secure subnet. Imagine the case where a set
of subnets are permitted to communicate within a campus, but one of the
buildings is intended to be inaccessible from the outside. By placing the
secure subnet in its own network number and not advertising the number, the
subnet is enabled to communicate with other subnets on the same router, but
is unreachable from any other router, barring static routes. This can be
extended by using a different routing protocol or routing protocol domain
for the secure network; subnets on the various routers within the secure
domain are mutually reachable, and routes from the non-secure domain may be
leaked into the secure domain, but the secure domain is invisible to the
outside world.
------------------------------
From: Question 37
Date: 22 April 1996
A Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) is a means of allocating IP addressing
resources to subnets according to their individual need rather than some
general network-wide rule. Of the IP routing protocols supported by Cisco,
OSPF, Dual IS-IS, BGP-4, and EIGRP support "classless" or VLSM routes.
Historically, EGP depended on the IP address class definitions, and
actually exchanged network numbers (8, 16, or 24 bit fields) rather than IP
addresses (32 bit numbers); RIP and IGRP exchanged network and subnet
numbers in 32 bit fields, the distinction between network number, subnet
number, and host number being a matter of convention and not exchanged in
the routing protocols. More recent protocols (see VLSM) carry either a
prefix length (number of contiguous bits in the address) or subnet mask
with each address, indicating what portion of the 32 bit field is the
address being routed on.
A simple example of a network using variable length subnet masks is found
in Cisco engineering. There are several switches in the engineering
buildings, configured with FDDI and Ethernet interfaces and numbered in
order to support 62 hosts on each switched subnet; in actuality, perhaps
15-30 hosts (printers, workstations, disk servers) are physically attached
to each. However, many engineers also have ISDN or Frame Relay links to
home, and a small subnet there. These home offices typically have a router
or two and an X terminal or workstation; they may have a PC or Macintosh as
well. As such, they are usually configured to support 6 hosts, and a few
are configured for 14. The point to point links are generally unnumbered.
Using "one size fits all" addressing schemes, such as are found in RIP or
IGRP, the home offices would have to be configured to support 62 hosts
each; using numbers on the point to point links would further compound the
address bloat.
One configures the router for Variable Length Subnet Masking by configuring
the router to use a protocol (such as OSPF or EIGRP) that supports this,
and configuring the subnet masks of the various interfaces in the 'ip
address' interface sub-command. To use supernets, one must further
configure the use of 'ip classless' routes.
------------------------------
What are some methods for conserving IP addresses for serial lines?
From: Question 38
Date: 22 April 1996
VLSM and unnumbered point to point interfaces are the obvious ways.
The 'ip unnumbered' subcommand indicates another interface or sub-interface
whose address is used as the IP source address on messages that the router
originates on the unnumbered interface, such as telnet or routing messages.
By doing this, the router is reachable for management purposes (via the
address of the one numbered interface) but consumes no IP addresses at all
for its unnumbered links.
When a serial ip interface connects several sites, as an SMDS link might,
then the use of an appropriate subnet mask (and a routing protocol that can
make good use of the information) will minimize address consumption.
------------------------------
Why do some ip addresses get rejected?
From: Question 39
Date: 23 April 1996
How come my cisco router doesn't accept an address like:
"ip address 192.111.107.1 255.255.255.240"
or "ip address 171.69.0.1 255.255.0.0"
When "subnetting" of IP networks was first sanctioned by the IETF, the first
and last subnets (the all zeros subnet and all ones subnet) were reserved for
rather obscure uses and because of the confusion that would be caused with
routing protocols that don't carry net mask information. It was technically
illegal to place hosts or routers on those two subnets.
Several hosts and most other vendor's router products have problems operating
with the reserved subnets, so their use is discouraged. However, in 1995,
the IETF removed the restrictions on the use of these reserved subnets as part
of the classless routing effort.
If you would like to use the reserved subnets, simply add the line
"ip subnet-zero" to your cisco configuration.
You might consider adding "ip subnet-zero" to all your configurations as a
metter of course, to avoid being bitten by this in the future.
