GigE link between 6500 and GSR
by Michael Kim 12 Feb '01

12 Feb '01

Hi All, I'm trying to bring up GigE link between 6509 and GSR. This is my problem: In the GigE interface on GSR says the interface is UP and line protocol is UP and in the GigE interface on 6500 says "not connected". Anyone have been in same situation? /michael --

BGP Question followup - packet fragmentation through GRE tunnels
by Roisman, Dani 12 Feb '01

I've gotten a few suggestions that included creating a GRE tunnel between sites, but shouldn't I be concerned about packet fragmentation? ---- Dani Roisman droisman(a)station.sony.com > -----Original Message----- > Another alternative would be to build your own backbone -- > but make it a > logical backbone if a physical one is not possible or > desired.

Cisco Flash help needed
by Simon Lockhart 12 Feb '01

12 Feb '01

All, I'm writing some software which will allow me to read and write the PCMCIA flash cards from Ciscos on a linux laptop. I have got reading working fine for Class A (Cisco 7x00 and Cisco 12000) and Class B (Cisco 2600/3600) cards, and am just about to move onto being able to write to the cards. I've worked out the format of the flash filesystem with no problems, and am confident that I'll be able to write new files to the filesystem, apart from one bit - the CRC I've come across 2 CRCs so far - a 32 bit one used on the Class A cards, and a 16 bit one used on the Class B cards. I've tried a standard crc32 routine (stolen from ssh), but it doesn't match the CRC reported by the router. Is there anyone good at understanding CRC routines who can help me reverse-engineer the cisco CRC, or perhaps does someone have some inside information they would like to share? Secondly, I'd like to test my code against a wider range of cisco flash formats. I've got access to 1600/2600/3600/7200/12000/LS1010. If you've got a linux laptop with pcmcia support, and access to a cisco router not in that list, would you mind sending me a dump of your flash card? You can make an image of the flash card thus: $ dd if=/dev/mem0c of=/some/where/ciscoflash.dmp bs=1048576 count=20 $ gzip /some/where/ciscoflash.dmp (replace /dev/mem0c if necessary, and the =20 on the end is the size of the card in MB) If you're not happy with sending me your IOS image, tftp a couple of text files onto a formatted flash card and use that. Please ask me first before emailing, if the gzip'd image is more than a couple of meg! Please don't ask me for the code yet! I'll let the list know when it's available...

RE: Need help with Cisco VLAN bridging....
by Craig Holland 12 Feb '01

12 Feb '01

I'm not sure what I had wrong with my config...but I scratched and started over and this worked. It was also possible to do this using SDE encapsulation on the HSSI interfaces. I received some traceback messages...so decided to opt for the frame-relay solution. Thanks!

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 11 Feb '01

11 Feb '01

This is an auto-generated mail on Sun Feb 11 20:37:22 PST 2001 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.

Re: BGP Question - how do work around pigheaded ISPs

WIBNI everyone who announced subnets of an allocated-in-pre-CIDR-times prefix would have to justify, under the usual slow-start rules, the use of any and all of those chunks that exceed a typical initial allocation from a favourite registry (APNIC, ARIN, RIPE)? WIBNI these member-funded registries were instructed by their members that, in order to postpone the day when the vast majority of paying members have to upgrade their routers because of an increase in the number of globally-heard prefixes and/or change swathes of the parts of the Internet they offer service to from classical IPv4 because of address consumption, the registries should monitor the address utilization of pre-CIDR allocations AS IF THEY HAD BEEN ALLOCATED UNDER TODAY'S RULES, and notify the entire membership when pre-CIDR allocations are clearly non-conforming in a way that inflates (even just a little) the size of the global routing tables or the overall visible address consumption.

Return the 172.16.0.0/16 block to the registry (ARIN, APNIC, RIPE or if no one else IANA) and apply for multiple appropriately sized CIDR blocks under the current registry allocation guidelines.
