Cisco Switching/Routing :: RFC 951 Why DHCP Option Has Magic Cookie

Oct 27, 2011

In RFC 951, the format of BOOTP packet was legislated, but the vendor information was not legislated in this document,  so the authors of this document had described that :"If the 'vend' field is used, it is recommended that a 4 byte 'magic number' be the first item within 'vend'.  This lets a server determine what kind of information it is seeing in this field. "
 
I think it meant that the format of vendor information wasn't fixed in RFC 951, and any vendor can legislate a new format of vendor information by itself. And the value in "magic cookie" can be set by any vendor.But in RFC 2131, the format of DHCP packet was legislated, and the "magic cooke" was fixed to values 99, 130, 83 and 99, I think it meant that the format of option information in DHCP packet was fixed absolutely and any vendor can't legislate a new format by itself.
 
Since the format of option information in DHCP packet was fixed absolutely, why the network device needs "magic cookie" to  identify the mode in which the succeeding data is to be interpreted ?  I think the magic cookie is not useful in DHCP packet because the format of option information is fixed. In other words, there is only one format of option information forever.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3550 / 2950 DHCP Relay Option To Router Handing Out DHCP

Apr 3, 2012

Have a client wanting to hand out public ip addresses to all clients from a PFSense Firewall terminating the internet connection.
 
How do I allow the Cisco Switches currently in place, configured with private ip addresses in the 10.10.x.x ranges and Vlans, where the main 3550 layer 3 has defined dhcp scopes for each vlan, to relay dhcp requests from all vlans to the PFSense firewall?
 
I assume I would take off the currently defined dhcp scopes for the vlans and configure each vlan/switch with the ip helper address and specify the PFSense firewall and that Nat would have to be disabled onthe firewall?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Adding Dhcp Option 82 On C2960S

Dec 12, 2012

I have a very simple setup containing 3 C2960S switches:switch 1:  central switch, acting as router between VLAN 1 en VLAN 2switch 2+3: edge switches, connected via 1 link to central switch, both on VLAN 2,Clients connect to switch 2 and 3 using dhcp, switch 1 uses dhcp relay to forward requests from VLAN 2 to the dhcp server on VLAN 1.  So far so good.Now I want switch 1 to add option  82 to the dhcp requests so the dhcp server can see whether the request came through switch 2 or switch 3. I tried turning on dhcp option 82 support on switch 1 by doing.

Cisco Application :: ACE4710 Insert Cookie - Does It Overwrite Server Cookie

Mar 28, 2012

I was trying to implement stickiness based on cookie. Server inserts a cookie and sends it to the browser. I learned from app team that this cookie is changing dynamically during the session, so stickiness based on server’s cookie doesn’t work.
 
Now I want to investigate into possibility of ACE to insert a cookie. My question is: ACE feature of “cookie insert”: does it add additional cookie into http header without removing server cookies or it deletes the cookie(s) that server put into http header and replaces them with its own cookie?

I own a Nanostation5 Loco, and I have a router behind it.I would like to add a DHCP Lease to that router and do a port forward to the router.I can not find the DHCP Lease option in Nanostation settings, but if I choose to see DHCP Leases in "Extra info" on main page I can see some MAC and IP addresses there.When it comes to port forwarding, I fill the form slots with info, and when I press OK to save it a pop-up comes saying "Please fill out this field", a field for another forward rule.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: SG300-52 - CLI Configuration Option

Dec 10, 2012

I am trying to configure Cisco SG300-52 switch for the first time and stuck without CLI configuration option. The configuration can be done using GUI, however, configuring using CLI would be more comfortable (as I am used to work with CLI of other Cisco switches)..
 
I was able to lo gin to switch using SSH, but the CLI appears in MENU format and was not able to find any way to go to CLI mode.
 
As per some blogs, in SG300 switches CLI mode can be accessed using Ctrl + Z in Menu, which did not work either in my case.
 
Switch is running with latest firmware version Sx300 Firmware Version 1.2.7.76.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: N7000 Inter-AS L3VPN Option B

Nov 29, 2012

I ran into problem with design that was prepared for Catalyst 6500, but in the meantime infrastructure got upgraded to Nexus. I have two datacenters connected with 1Gbit line (point-point), both ends of this circuit are N7K. There are few segments (like LAN, DMZ, PUBLIC) in separate VRFs in each DC and intention was to carry over these segments between locations using VPNv4 exchange via BGP. Each location have its own AS number and IPv4 BGP session is running between them (for global routing table at the moment). I tried to add VPNv4 to that peering session, but got message it is not supported in NX-OS for eBGP. Tried to find some more info about such limitation, but failed.
 
Before I start explore other options like Option A (creating subinterfaces per VRF and running separate IPv4 BGP session in each).

1. What is the significance of this & when do we use it?

2. Also, under each wlan ssid that we create, there is an option of dhcp address required under the advanced tab. Do we need to use this option, if we are defining a normal dhcp pool in our controller for that ssid.

We are using an ACE engine module(ACE20-MOD-K9) provide loading balancing service for two WEB servers and configured cookie for stickness. Below is the current configuration and it seems working fine now.
 
The problem I was facing is before use parameter-map change the http header length to 8k the stickness doesn't really working properly. User complains that their working session constantly be kicked out and redirect them to login page. By tracing traffic from a client we found that sometime ACE fails or stop insert the configured cookie, after increase the header length ACE start getting work.
 
how does the header length setup effect ACE to insert a cookie? Will the cookie insert attmpt fail if the header is longer then the maximum length configured on ACE? [code]

Cisco Switching/Routing :: DHCP For PC At G0/1 From G0/0 For 1941

Mar 12, 2013

I have this Cisco 1941 router with two Ethernet ports g0/0 and g0/1. The g0/0 is connected to office LAN with internet access. As my office LAN is DHCP, it will assigned a IP address for g0/0 since this g0/0 is configured as "ip address dhcp". Now my question is that i have a group of 5 pcs, namely PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4 and PC5 that is connected to the switch and one of the ports of this switch is connected to g0/1 of Cisco 1941. Is it possible that let say PC2 and PC3 (both DHCP enabled) could access the internet access from g0/0 and at the same time, the office LAN assigned IP address for PC2 and PC3 automatically?
 
                                                       Office Lan with internet access (DHCP) (Default gateway 10.0.0.1)                                      
                                                                                          |
                                                                                          |
                                                        g0/0 (DHCP enable) (DHCP assigned IP address 10.0.0.138)
                                                                                 Cisco router 1941
                                                                                       g0/1
                                                                                           |
                                                                                           |
                                                                                  HP Switch
                                                                                           |
                                                                          PC1 PC2 PC3 PC4 PC5
                                      
Is this operation possible? if possible, how to configure inside the router 1941 to achieve this objective?

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 - NAT / DHCP

Nov 30, 2011

We are looking to avoid the need to install an additional device in our network as our core 6509s are not being pushed by any stretch.  However, we are having an issue getting the 6509 to assign DHCP addresses and perform NAT.
 
Most interfaces and V LAN's on the 6509 are using public IPs and have BGP routing at the edge.  We have a trunk up link coming into the 6509 on a ws-6816 card via a SMF GBIC in slot 9, port 2 that feeds a wifi link where we are looking to provide guest access to our network.
 
We created 2 V LAN s on the switch 20 and 21.  We assigned a private IP and network to the VLAN20 interface and assigned a new public /30 sub net ip to the V LAN 21 interface.  The following configuration was applied which I thought was the required configuration based on how we would typically configure ISR routers for the same services...
 
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.200.200.1
!
ip dhcp pool WiFi_Pool
network 10.200.200.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.200.200.1
dns-server 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2
[ code]...
  
What am I missing in this configuration? Note that if I create an access switch port for v LAN 20 on the switch and plug a laptop in directly to the 6509, the laptop is unable to receive a DHCP address.  If I assign the laptop an address in the 10.200.200.0 /24 range manually, I can ping 10.200.200.1 from the laptop, however, the laptop will not get to the internet as it appears to be failing to perform nat.
