I have done a bunch of research in trying to re-use an old card/router for testing our new MPLS link. I have a 45m DS3 and was wondering if the PA-MC-T3= card will work UN-channelized. I have tried the "no channelized" command under the controller to no avail. I believe that the card only works for channelized T1's.
I always test ethernet family links(E, Fa, Gi) sending pings with MTU equal to 1500. Since most hosts uses MTU 1500 I think is not necessary to test using a high MTU size like 18024.
I have few inter-AS and Hub & Spoke MPLS L3VPNs up and running but, all of them uses plain IPv4 on the PE-to-CE connecting interfaces for switching the L3VPN customer traffic. While, this is ok to route traffic between customer sites over a ISP backbone using the VRF and MP-BGP/LDP configurations which does the MPLS forwarding in the ISP backbone, i would like to know, how to enable MPLS forwarding on the PE-CE links as well to make it MPLS right from CE1 - PE1 - P - PE2 - CE2 all the way for the VPN traffic.
This way, even the last mile access to CE devices will be an MPLS link over a Ethernet PHY so that, the traffic originating from CE1 to CE 2 will be carried on a MPLS tagged Ethernet frame instead of IPoEthernet frame.
i have 2 routers 2811 interconnected together ,1 of these router running in circuit with 2 Mbps over Internet the 2nd one use MPLS Circuit with a bandwidth of 4Mbps,how configure the routing to route over the MPLS while IPSec act as standby
I am having cisco asa 5520 with internet having public ip and cisco 2911 with mpls link in my office. the mpls link is between my HO and my branchmi am putting my webserver in the branch side i want to port forward one of my publicip in my office to be forwarded to branch we, server.is it poosible on the firewall ouside the local network.
Running ASA5585’s in active/standby across a local campus MPLS network. Supported design, leading practice etc. Specifically our design is that two ASA5585 are configured as active/standby through a local campus MPLS network over 10gig links through ASR9k etc. The ASA’s are providing inter-vrf routing capability only with p2p l2vpn circuits configured for each logical interface between the ASA over MPLS etc.The failover link is via a direct fibre and the state link will be through a p2p l2vpn (option for direct fibre also)Is this a supported design to begin with?
We have a ME6524 running as a MPLS P router. We want to mirror a port to capture a specific traffic stream (to a probe). As the port is an MPLS LDP port will this work, will both the VACL and SPAN work with MPLS tagged packets, or does the mirror and VACL work after the labels have been removed..?
Installation of 2 x 4 Mbps MPLS circuit on primary router (CISCO 2951) and 1 x 8 Mbps Ethernet link on secondary router (Cisco 2951). We have successfully implement the primary router with 2 x 4 Mbps MPLS circuit. Site is having two computer room CR1 and CR2 and distance between both room is 200mts. CR1 is having primary core router and primary core switch where the service provider terminated the new MPLS circuit and we have done the successful implementation. CR2 is having Secondary core router and secondary core switch where we needs to have the termination of Ethernet link but service provider has delivered the Ethernet link on the CR1 which is incorrect DMARC Location.
Both the computer rooms are connected via optical copper can we use that copper to connect the circuit on CR2, as per my understanding we can use the optical fiber to connect the wind circuit on secondary router on CR2 by using the media connector.
I have a lab setup and I want to test a point-to-point connection between two 2921 routers in a lab environment, without going through an ISP. I have a HWIC-1DSU-T1= in each of the routers. I have already configured ip addresses to the router interfaces, eDo I need to set any CLOCK RATE or BANDWIDTH commands or anything like that, since my traffic will not actually be going through an ISP during this lab test?
I am deploying PBR at the moment in a simple configuration. The 'ip policy' is applied to a sub-interface on a 2811 and all ACLs and route-maps look good. I am using NAT also in this configuration. It is a very simple build, basically stating that all traffic inbound on this sub-interface is to use a next hop of x.x.x.x
My testing is not working, but i need clarity on this. For different reasons, i am not able to tests with hosts on the relevant VLAN yet, as there is not. So i am testing on the local router using the sub-interface as the source IP. i.e. 'ping 8.8.8.8 souce int fa0/0.99' or telnet www.cisco.com 80 source fa0.0.99
Nat appears to be working, but my debug on ip policy is not showing any hits. Will my tests work when i am sourcing packets from the locally connected interface?
My company is moving the datacenter to our new building on Saturday, however the users will remain at the old building until late next month so they bought a 100M Metro E VPLS circuit through their ISP. I went to test it today but could not ping the workstation from my laptop. I wanted to do some bandwidth testing with iperf but could never get to that point because ICMP connectivity wasn't even there. From what I understand, VPLS is just a layer 2 extension so they way I'm testing the circuit below SHOULD work, but it isn't. Spoke with the ISP and they tested the circuit end-to-end on their equipment which was fine so am I missing something?
how can i check my wirless lan card, i have a wireless internet connection at home but now a days i am getting low speed on laptop and signals on the wireless device are full but on my laptop i am getting less signals.
I work for a company that buys used cisco equipment and we are trying to get a basic test center set up. What is the best way to perform basic router testing? We have been trying to come up with something for about 3 weeks and so far all we can do is get in the configuration and play around.
I have a Catalyst 3750 router and would like to know if this can be setup to accept communications from a storage switch which uses a fibre path to then send the signal onwards to some test equipment which uses a copper ethernet connection.
I am working at a client site today. The client has a large Frame Relay Hub Spoke network. The Hub is at the HQ location, and then there are about 15 spoke sites in remote offices.
We are having an issue with the frame between the HQ and one of the spokes. We are currently working with our dear friends at AT&T to troubleshoot the issue. AT&T yesterday was trying to run a local loop test to the router at the remote (spoke) end. We were working iwth them in trying to put the remote router (which we manage) into a loopback mode. We were trying to use controller commands
COOP-Rappahanock#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. COOP-Rappahanock(config)#controller ? % Unrecognized command COOP-Rappahanock(config)#controller
That we seem to run out of options...
How can we put the subinterface that is the other end fo the frame into loopback mode so that a local loop test can be done between us and AT&T (provider)?
We are having issues transferring a 200GB VHD file across our point to point without being corrupted in the process. Any good application for testing the line quality across the point to point?Preferably we want something free, but if there is an in depth tool that costs money, we are open to that option as well.
At our small business I would like to be able to test connecting to some of our websites as an external IP address user outside of our network although still being physically connected to the internal network. Any thoughts on the simplest way to set this up? I have the capability to setup vlans on our switch, could I make one of the vlans/ports have an external connection instead of an internal?
I have 2 routers on 1 the internet work fine on the other the internet not work and I see this when I start diagnostic "Testing ADSL Synchronization---fail"
I'm looking to test fram relay connections in a lab environment i'm building at home. I have a couple of 2610 routers that are barebones and am looking to get some serial modules. Are (2) WIC-2T's all I would need to create those test connections? Also on a side note are the any modules for the 2610 that have fast ethernet connections. I would like to have that so I can create a router on a stick model off of the 2600's.
ASA 5540 8.2 (5)I have tried many combinations of command line syntax suggested in this forum but none are providing success so far.
I want to ping from the Inside Interface across to the Outside Interface and visa versa.I have tried various ACLs as well as "inspect icmp" in the config, etc still no go.
I can ping each interface from the console command line but cannot ping across each interface. [code]
From ASA 5520 we tested the interface failover it not working even the interface are getting monitor .
primary is active.
Manually we shut the outside interface of the primary device configuration is getting reflecting in secondary as outside interface shut. Interface failover not happen.
ii All the interface are getting monitor when we gave command sh failover. even though when we shut outside interface failove not happening.
how to do the interface failover in ASA 8.4 version.
I have been in this field for a few years and I found this book, Network Performance Toolkit: Using Open Source Testing Tools, to be very useful. It is full of great open source testing tools and has easy to use instructions for them all.However, to be more specific, I am looking for a packet generator that can simulate network packets over an extended amount of time. So the end result is I have this generator test my physical network for an hour but it simulates a week of real network traffic. Any tool, ideally it be open source?
Has anyone tested QoS on the new E3000? Whenever I add an application (e.g. Voice Device) and set priority to Medium or High, my upstream bandwidth for everything else is immediately cut significantly, even when I'm not using the priority application.
For example, with QoS disabled, I can consistently get 10Mb upstream (speedtest.comcast.net). As soon as I enable QoS, upstream is capped to exactly 2Mb! On my old router, there was an option to set the total upstream bandwidth -- but on the E3000 there is no such option that I can find.
I am looking for the way how to disagle logging of one user. We are using one testing user for checking accesibility of ACS from large number of switches - this checking exhausting logs quite quickly. Is it possible to disable logging of such user?
I've got an SG300-10P switch and am trying to use it to create a testing environment for a Fiber Test set. What I would like to do is get two hosts, A & B, plugged into ports 1 and 3 on the switch, to talk to each other, but forcing the traffic to be routed through the two Combo ports 9 & 10. Please see the attached diagram.I've attempted to configure two VLAN's, 10 and 20. Vlan 10 is used for traffic between Ports 1 and 9, Vlan 20 is used for traffic between Ports 3 and 10.I don't really care whether the traffic is tagged or untagged as it passes between ports 9 and 10.
I've tried various combinations of tagged/untagged ports, PVID's, etc. As a first test I've bypassed the Fiber Test set and simply created a direct connection between ports 9 and 10. I am unable to get the traffic from Host A to Host B to get routed through ports 9 and 10 (I ping each host from the other and get no response).
I'm currently having issues testing OCSP servers for certificate validation on ACS 5.4. Server team claims everything is fine on their side, but all attempts result in the following error:12562 OCSP server response is invalid
I've already tried to disable NONCE extension support and signature validation, which hasn't really had any effect. How to debug OCSP processing or look into the problem more precisely another way?
