Cisco WAN :: ME3600X Redistribute BGP To ISIS At Multiple Points In Network
Feb 28, 2012
I have an Metro network running ISIS to different locations. There are severals vrf's on different VLAN's with separate ISIS routing processes. ISIS is running in L2-Only There are two redundant hub routers (ME3600X) that are placed centrally.Connected to each of the ME3600X is an ISR2951 that connects to the internet and handling backup connections over DMVPN. Over those DMVPN tunnels I run MPLS over GRE and routing with BGP. The leaves are IBGP neighbours, and the central ISRs are route-reflectors. In those routers I redistribute from BGP to ISIS and vice versa. The IBGP has an admin distance of 200 and the ISIS route has 115, so in normal operations the ISIS route is installed in the FIB.
My problem is that when an primary connection goes down, I want the backup route via the DMVPN to be redistributed from BGP in to ISIS, and the traffic to go over the DMVPN instead. But what will happen is that when the ISIS route over the primary connection disapear both my ISR's will compete in advertising the route, and as one of the ISR's is advertising it the other one recives it and since ISIS distance are better it will prefer that one, and the other way around. So my routes are coming and going, and everything is unstable. With just one ISR, it works as it should.I tag the route redistributed in to ISIS, but there is no way to add a incoming distribute list to the interface of the ISR in ISIS, otherwise I might have stopped the route in to the ISR if it was advertised by the other ISR.
Also tried to put the ISR's in different L1 areas in ISIS and redistributed L2 to L1 in the ME3600X with an route-map filtering the routes learned from BGP from the ISR's. That works for failing over, but then I'm stuck on the DMVPN bacause when the primary way comes back again, the L1 learned from the ISR is prefered before the L2 learned from the neighbor over the Metro network.
I was thinking of extending the BGP in to the ME3600X, I could of course use EIGRP with distribute-list's between the ME end the ISR. [code]

Well this process is self explanatory, setting up the network is easy but im running into trouble with my wireless devices connecting to the strongest signalIm not exactly sure if there is a fix for this yet or if they have not made a protocol to fix it. I have a big house with solid wall in which i have setup 3 wifi's. 1st Modem/wifi Router, 2nd Wifi access point, 3rd wifi access point. Now the problem im having is moving between the access points my devices such as my ipad are changing from one access point to the next whilst moving throughout the house (that is until it loses the first signal I believe or you turn your ipad wifi off/on so it reconnects back to the strongest/closest access point).

I have a router that is capable of wireless N at 5.0GHz but can't run simultaneous with it's 2.4GHz band a/b/g (Cisco Linksys E2000), so I have a second router acting as gateway for my b/g devices (and a few wired only that are nearer to it). They are connected LAN port to LAN port with 50ft of cat6 and the DHCP server running on only one router. I know this is pretty standard for multiple access points, and it works very well. But I'm moving, and in the new house, the internet access will be on one floor with the wireless N router, and the other router will need to be in the basement on the opposite end of the house, and running networking cable through the floor and walls is just too much trouble. My question is, can I replace the previous wired method with a wireless N bridge attached to the LAN port of the router in the basement and have it function in the same way as it did when it was wired, with only the DHCP server running on the wireless N router, and all devices attached to either router able to see each other? I would assume so, but I would like to know from anyone who has experience with it before I go buying the bridge.

setting up networks with multiple locations and multiple wireless points.For example: My sisters' home has here modem in her main computer room, it has a Belkin router hooked to the modem. Then a line goes from there to my nephew's room where I tried to expand their network by adding another router. I really just wanted an access point, but they don't seem to sell these as much as they used to. Anyway, I had it working, but it was two different networks, NETWORK1 and NETWORK2. So they had to swap networks when moving around the house. what would be the best hardware setup to provide both sides of the house with some Hardwired access as well as wifi access? Right now, we have two routers, a DIR615 (or something like that) and a Cisco E1000, and again hardwire going from the main computer room to my nephew's room.Also, in my house, I have lots of stuff... I have an Actiontec Router from FIOS, feeding a small hub as well as a switch in my main room. Which then feeds a Ps3, Wii, laptop, Denon reciever, and Access Point... and also feeds my Apple TimeCapsule, which also feeds my printer. My wireless devices range from cameras, iphones/ipads, and a wifi unit (I forget what it's called, but it connects my DVR wirelessly to my network, and the DVR itself doesn't have wifi).
my question about my setup is, should everything be on one network... as in let the ActionTec handle most of the duties and use switchers and accesspoints to extend the network. Should everything be on the same wireless network and channels? Like if I used my access point to extend, do I want the same settings as my main wireless router, and would that be the same for the Apple Airport Extreme?Also, does having all these wireless networks going create any kind of hinderance on my performance. For example, the PS3 has some sort of wifi in it... it produces a SSID, but I never connect to it. Should I make sure that's off? And in my main room, should I go with just the AirPort extreme over using it and the Wireless Access point.

I've recently bought another PC, but set it up in a different area than my existing computers. It's down in my basement, along with my PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Now the problem is connecting all of these "toys" to the internet. I only have one in-wall ethernet port, which my PC is currently plugged into. Leaving my PS3, Xbox, and Wii, only with an extremely weak wireless connection. Now, my original thought was just to buy a network "switch," BUT then I remembered I have an old D-Link router. So, logically I should be able to plug an ethernet into the wall, then into the WAD port on my router, then plug my Xbox, PS3, Wii, and PC into the 4 remaining LAN ports on my router. I want another WiFi access point using the same network, and a wired connection for all of my gadgets.

I need to have 7 individual ethernet outlets on my home network for rooms, living room etc. My router has 4 ports on it. What should I do to get the additional 3 outputs I need? Can I just plug a switch into my router for the additional ones I need? Or do I need a router with additional ports?

I work in a medium sized business with 50~ employees. We recently decided to allow wireless access for employees, newer computers with internal wifi, and customers. Now, I'm savvy enough to know how to setup a wireless router without using the instructional CD and just accessing it directly via the IP, that's all fine and dandy. However, the range of one singular wireless router hardly covers 20% of the building.
1: The main network hubs are located in a maintenance room far off in the corner, so setting up a wireless device there was not beneficial. I attempted to set one up via an ethernet port in the middle of the building. This worked without issues, and connected fine, however- The wireless router now has it's own separate set of IPs instead of "being one with the main router/hub." Our default IPs are 192.168.15.***, while this wireless router has created a separate set of IPs with 192.168.1.***. This wouldn't be much of an issue were it not for the fact our server needs to be connected via RDP through some wireless devices. So we cannot type in the typical IP to connect to the server since it's no longer in the same network, this also eliminates printer access. The simple question to all this is if it is possible to have a wireless router connected via a port of the main router still believe it's the same network like hubs do, or does this require a separate wireless device I'm unaware of?
2: The second issue is partially relative to the first. Range. As mentioned, one wireless router is not enough to allow wireless in the entire building. Boosting the signal will still result in weak signals, so the better option would be, at my only knowledge in regards to routers: more wireless routers. So I purchased three wireless routers, however the signal is still spotty. So aside the issues in question #1 to sync all routers together, is there a different device I could purchase or a method to make wireless router's range extended over areas. Like say a wireless router emits a signal, at the weakest point, the signal is boosted in a radius, at the boosted signal's weakest point, it's reboosted with another device, etc. I'm simply unaware as to how this could be done, but figure it exists. As my boss stated: How could airports have multiple access points, they couldn't just purchase these routers over and over and hook them up everywhere like this.

My boss just asked me if there was a way for him to move from point A to Point B with his wireless laptop and NOT have to reauthenticate at point B if I install another access point there. Right now I have us setup on a Cisco WAP4410N Access Point that works well when he's within range of the antenna. The point B location is upstairs and while it's only about 50-70 feet away from the Point A access point the signal he's getting there is very weak so he wants me to install another AP there.
IOW he wants to authenticate once at point A and when he walks up to point B he wants the laptop to pickup the newer hotter signal when I put another AP point in.

I'm doing a college project and looking to triangulate a position where someone is standing in a building using information from at least three Wi-Fi access points. The building has computer labs that I can use. It also has just one Wi-fi signal. I want to know how I can turn one or two of the computers into a Wi-Fi access point that I can detect on my smartphone and differentiate it from the Wi-Fi signal that is currently in the building.Is there something that I can attach to a computer lab computer with possibly USB that will set up a Wi-Fi access point?or if I wanted, could I bring in a laptop and attach something to it in order to set up a Wi-Fi access point?In both situations, I want to use the Wi-Fi connection that is already in the building to create ' hotspots' that I can use so that I can get information from each.

I have a flat that is about 500Sq meters in size and multiple rooms. I am looking to setup one WAG320N in the library with the ADSL connection and setup wireless. Can I then wireless a WAP610 or another AP in the living room and in the dinner room and in one bedroom and set it up with the same Wireless network so they can move seamlessly through the flat? Can they act in repeater mode? Which Modem Gateway and Access Point or Repeater can do it.

We have multiple Cisco Aironet 1131AG devices, all wired on one Cisco L2 switch(2560) who is connected to L3 switch (3550). We assigned one VLAN for access point in L3 switch who acts as vtp server (L2 switch is vtp client). All ap's will have static ip address and all will have same SSID and no security and they will be using multiple channels (ex. 1,6,11). They will operate in 3 floor building for roaming wireless client. We won't using any wireless controller.
How to configure APs-all the same with different ip's, can we use L3 switch to create dhcp server for access points VLAN (pool for clients, and the rest for static ip for ap's)?

I have a Packetfront DRG700 broadband modem (fiberoptic), which also has a wireless DHCP server built-in. In addition I have a D-Link DIR-615 router which is connected by cable to the modem. I want both units to be wireless access points for the same local network.
I've tried disabling the DHCP server on the D-Link and naming both units with the same SSID and passphrase, but that didn't work because whenever I'm wirelessly connected to the D-Link, I get an IP address from my broadband provider and not from the DHCP server on my modem; i.e. I'm no longer connected to my local network.
I'm told by my provider that the reason is because the DHCP server on the DRG700 only works wireless, while the LAN ports are given IPs from outside the house. (I would use one of these ports for my broadband TV decoder.)

We are currently running ISIS and recently we have purchased 2 WS-C3750X-24. Unfortunately 3750 do not support ISIS and we have decide to use redistribution between ISIS and OSPF. We are using Stack feature so consider 3750 as one chassis.
Router A and Router B are ISIS neighbors. As first step we have setup redistribution between Router A and Switch 3750
Router A Configuration router isis
net 49.0000.0000.0000.0001.00
metric-style wide
[ code]...
Switch 3750 Configuration
router ospf 1
router-id 192.168.2.1
passive-interface Vlan3
[ code]...
From Router's A routing table we see the ospf routes life is good Switch routing table has E2 - OSPF external type 2 routes and is reachable from the rest of the network.
Router A #show ip route ospf 1 Gateway of last resort is not set O192.168.10.64/27 [110/2] via 172.17.1.3, 2d01h, GigabitEthernet1/20 [110/2] via 172.17.1.1, 2d00h, GigabitEthernet1/19
When we bring up the ospf adjacency with Router B the whole ISIS routes are replaced with E2 - OSPF external type 2 which is not desirable.
Router B Configuration
router isis
net 49.0000.0000.0002.00

Here is my setup:
Netgear WNDR3700 - Main router, DHCP turned on
4x Netgear WNR2000 - Setup as Access Points (DHCP turned off), connected to main router via LAN ports
I only want the guest network to have internet access. I have the guest network enabled on the router and access points with the option to "Allow Guest network to access main network" disabled. My problem is that since the access points aren't hooked directly to my modem via the WAN port, the guest network broadcasted from the access points does not have internet access.I have read up on setting up a separate subnet for the guest network using DD-WRT but was curious if there was a way to get the desired result with the stock Netgear firmware.

Do you know if the following Cisco switches ME3600X ME3800X support Netflow? I need to collect data on interfaces and export it to an external Netflow collector installed on a server. In other word, I need to be sure that those switches support the following command (or similar):
ip flow-export destination <IP> ip flow-export source <Interface> ip flow-export version 5 ip flow-cache timeout active 1 ip flow-cache timeout inactive 15 snmp-server ifindex persist !

Struggling to find any documentation that states both "ip accounting & netflow" are supported on the new ME3600 switches. I have tried both a 12 and 15 release of software. Netflow produces no data what so ever, ip accounting only produces data (of the global network) when configured on my uplink (running MP-BGP network) unable to get specific data for user networks in seperate VRFs. Is this a case of the commands being there but not being supported?

Our current router is setup to redistribute our BGP routes into OSPF using the following code:
-router ospf 60
-log-adjacency-changes
-redistribute bgp 65199 metric 1500 metric-type 1 subnets
I want to filter down the routes so only a set of specific routes is redistributed.. we have done this in the past with EIGRP by doing a route-map / prefix-list to manage the routes passed into EIGRP.My question is I can replicate the metric and the metric-type in the route-map by doing the following: [code] Do I need to be concerned witht the "subnets" command in this design? What I understand "Subnets".When redistributing routes into OSPF, only routes that are not subnetted are redistributed if the subnets keyword is not specified. I suspect I need to add it! So my final code should look like this..

I got remote offices connected to our DataCenter some via MPLS and some via VPN terminated on Cisco ASA 5510. I am running OSPF on LAN and BGP for MPLS sites. To have reachability to VPN remote offices I added 'redistribute static in OSPF' and to have rechability to sites connected via metro link i added 'redistribute connected'

Our customer has a Cisco ME3600X with the IOS me 360x-universalK9-mz.122-52.EY3.They are saying that is not possible to configure the "switchport port-security mac-address sticky" in the interfaces and want to know whether any additional license is needed.As far as I know there isn't any extra license to activate this feature and also I believe the ME3600 switch should have this feature with the universal IOS, isn't that right?

I have an issue with my setup of a 6500 switch (12.2(33)SXI9).We have a 6500 switch with several VRF's. For a certain VRF I would like to redistribute a static route in EIGRP. After doing so I don't see the static route on my eigrp neighbor.
This is a overview of my config. I'm basically redistributing only my static route for this vrf in eigrp.
I found a similar case in which the solution was adding a metric to the static route. (eg. redistribute static route-map static-eigrp-pp metric 10000 100 255 1 1500). But the strange thing is that we don't have this issue on a similar machine (same IOS, same config setup). [code]

I was reading my book when I found :
redistribute ospf 2 external 2
The book says only ospf external routes of type 2 will be redistributed.But when I tried to configure the above command on router, I was not able to configure it; there was no external or internal option available with redistribute ospf command.
Below is the output:
R2(config)#router rip
R2(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 ?
match Redistribution of OSPF routes
metric Metric for redistributed routes
route-map Route map reference
vrf VPN Routing/Forwarding Instance
<cr>
R2# show version
Cisco IOS Software, 2600 Software (C2691-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T6, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
Do we have such command for eigrp? For example If i want to redistribute only external routes from eigrp into ospf, do we have any command such as :redistribute eigrp 1 external ?I understand there is several ways to achieve to same goal however I am just curious if we could acheive the same goal using single redistribute eigrp command without any route-map.

Here's the deal. My internet provider provided me with a shitty router with a lot of settings locked. I can't change DHCP settings or add custom static IP addresses. This sucks. The wireless function on it sucks also.I added an extra router to the network so I have good Wifi in my living room. I turned off the NAT, firewall and DHCP on that one, so it's a simple switch with a wireless access point now.Now here's the deal. The DHCP server of the provider's router hands out IP's from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.253 (192.168.2.254 is the router's own IP address).I gave the added switch/access point the IP address 192.168.1.1 in its own settings. The original router doesn't 'see' the switch now anymore because it's out of the DHCP's range. When I gave it an IP address within the DHCP's IP range, I got all kinds of conflicts (as expected).
I guess this is a solution since it works, but I'm open to other suggestions since it doesn't seem to be the best way of doing things. Besides, I can't access the access point's web interface anymore since it doesn't have an IP address within the network now. It isn't important because I don't need to change any settings anymore, but still.I'm going to add a second wireless router to replace the built-in wireless function of the provider's router. For some reason it sees its own wireless network as a separate network or something. When I roam from the new access point wifi to the provider router's wifi, everything gets confused because it tries to give the laptop a new IP address.

The old configuration was a Linksys/Cisco WRT120N plugged into a NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Firewall FV336GV2. I will list the settings below, but the short of it is that the WiFi router was in charge of getting the wireless clients but the Firewall was the one that assigned IP addresses and all that. This setup worked out just fine except that the WiFi router was in the basement and clients could only connect to it while still in the basement. They wanted to be able to connect to the network wirelessly while on the third floor, but couldn't even see the basement router from there. We shipped out an identical router configured beforehand exactly the same way, save for its MAC address and local IP address (those having premonitions, during troubleshooting I try setting different radio channels as well). The client plugged an Ethernet cable from the wall to port #2, and a desktop to port #3.
The desktop has internet access. Wirelessly, however, had issues The client only had a single laptop to test with, an XP SP3 machine. Unfortunately I couldn't pull specs from it as of this post, so I don't know if it connected by G or N. This laptop, which worked fine in the basement, wouldn't connect upstairs (it would sit trying to get an IP address forever) until I had him "forget" the basement network. At this point, he was able to connect to the upstairs router and access the internet. However, he could then no longer use the access point in the basement. I tried the same troubleshooting steps, like having him delete the wireless profiles from his network card and rebooting the router, but he couldn't even see the basement router while down there anymore.
Occasionally, it would show up for a moment, then disappear before he could connect to it. To make sure it was the basement router that was briefly appearing, I renamed the upstairs router to something else; this confirmed that indeed it was the basement router that was doing the "now you see me, now you don't" act. I then tried setting the basement router to Channel 1 while leaving the upstairs one at Channel 6. Still nothing, even though the laptop was about 25 feet away from the basement router and I had him wipe the wireless profile again. Rebooting the computer didn't solve the issue either. After this, I named the upstairs router back to the same as the downstairs one and had him go upstairs to test; he could connect to it right away.
I figure this is either a configuration issue on the laptop or routers (or firewall). Unfortunately, there weren't any other wireless clients to test with, and I'm not sure there will be when I continue troubleshooting on Monday. By the way, I looked for a "bridge mode" option on the WRT120N and couldn't find one; I'm told that the firmware doesn't support it. I don't feel comfortable putting on alternative firmware unless it's literally the only thing that will solve this. The configurations for the networking equipment are listed below.
NETGEAR ProSafe Firewall:
IP Address: 192.168.50.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server: Enabled
Starting IP address: 192.168.50.50

The problems looks like this: I'm able to browse the web without any problems until at random points of time - might be 2 hours after I turn on my PC or 5 or even half an hour the port 80 gets blocked - actually more like it hangs it self. As whatever I try to open i get "waiting for response" going and going. It's not even returning "page not found" error or anything. To top everything all other ports work fine - i can use https, ping run tracert - no problem there.
I've spend two days looking for some answer on the web but came up empty. I've scanned for malicious software with ad-awar and malwarebyte anit-malware - nothing came up. After restart of the pc everything comes back to normal but its frustrating needing to do that every now and then.
My home network looks like this: I have some broadband modem that is connected to local wifi TP-LINK router (Model No. TL-WR340G/TL-WR340GD). There are four devices using this connection - two pc's (laptops), android phone and android tablet.
