Multicast LDP or P2MP RSVP & LDP
by devang patel 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi All, I just want to know about the deployment of Multicast LDP or P2MP RSVP and LDP is available from any vendor or they are still in draft status? Also it will be great if some one can give me an idea of Multicast VPN deployment in service providers; are they deployed with draft Rosen GRE based solution or BGP auto discovery mechanism? Thanks in advance for help... regards, Devang

<Help --> Having trouble trying to activate a GigE connection>
by Michael Ruiz 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Group, I am having an issue with activating a Gige interface between a Cisco 7206 VXR w/IO-1GE module to a 7606 w/sup720-3bxls connecting to a line module WS-X6416-GBIC. I have verified that the GBIC-MMF have good light reading and the MMF fiber jumper are not reversed. The GigE connection comes up briefly for about a few seconds, takes a burst of errors and goes down. I have tried to set the speed to nonegotiate on both ends, set one end to speed auto. No dice. Here is the copy of the configuration. On my 7606 I show that the GigE interface is up/up but on the 7206vxr I show down/down. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! This is the Cisco 7206VXR configuration. interface GIabitEthernet0/0 no ip address duplex full speed 1000 media-type gbic no negotiation auto This is the Cisco 7606 configuration. interface GigabitEthernet1/8 description AR4-DLLSTXHW-GE0/0 no ip address speed nonegotiate Michael Ruiz Network Engineer

iGlass CMTS monitoring solution
by Eric J Esslinger 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

We've been looking at the iGlass's cable system monitoring solution for monitoring our cable system; It integrates with billing to give the ability, at a csr level, to allow them to directly lookup the status of a customer's cable modem (for example, online, offline, negotiationg, flapping), history, and also integrates with the CMTS and will make SNMP polls of the modems to see signal levels, CPE's attached, configured speed vs current actual speed, etc. I was wondering if anyone had any comments for or against them, or of alternative companies or even open source alternatives. I'm perfectly fine with 'roll your own' but Nagios/cacti type monitoring really just doesn't cut it where this is concerned. We're < 10k customers. Contacting me offlist is fine. Thanks. __________________________ Eric Esslinger Information Services Manager - Fayetteville Public Utilities http://www.fpu-tn.com/ (931)433-1522 ext 165 ________________________________ This message may contain confidential and/or proprietary information and is intended for the person/entity to whom it was originally addressed.

The good ones being the SFPs with their EEPROM set to appear to be Cisco kit.

OT: VSS + MEC - port-channel dynamically cloned?
by Leland Vandervort 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hi all.. this one seems to have stumped even the community forums on CCO ;) Anyone else seen this behaviour? (It's not actually a problem as such since the MEC port-channels are actually working fine, just unexpected the way that it has done it...) We have a few paris of VSS running, and having brought the down-stream access-switches online using MEC we note that the active port-channel that they bind under isn't actually the one configured, but rather a CLONE of the configured one which appears to be dynamically generated. In our case, all ports and port-channel configurations are set to dot1q encapsulation and trunk mode active. For example, we have about 20 3560s MEC'd to the VSS: the MEC comes up, but under a slightly different port-channel identifier: Here's the 3560 side: interface status: Gi0/49 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseSX SFP Gi0/50 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseSX SFP Gi0/51 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseSX SFP Gi0/52 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseSX SFP #sh int po1 | i Member Members in this channel: Gi0/49 Gi0/50 Gi0/51 Gi0/52 Here's the VSS side: Interface status: Po11 CISCO C3560 A01 notconnect 1 auto auto Po11A connected trunk a-full a-1000 ^^^^ Po11A is not actually configured, but appears to be cloned from Po11 #sh int po11A | i Member Members in this channel: Gi1/1/33 Gi1/1/34 Gi2/1/41 Gi2/1/42 #sh cdp nei | i hacc01-d hacc01-d Gig 2/1/42 140 S I WS-C3560G Gig 0/50 hacc01-d Gig 2/1/41 140 S I WS-C3560G Gig 0/49 hacc01-d Gig 1/1/34 161 S I WS-C3560G Gig 0/52 hacc01-d Gig 1/1/33 161 S | WS-C3560G Gig 0/51 Essentially, for all of the MEC connections, the VSS has created a clone of the configured port-channel to bind the actual physical connections, rather than binding them under the configured port-channel (and suffixed the port-channel number with A or B depending on which chassis was first to bind). Config for port-channel and interfaces all match: VSS SIDE: interface Port-channel11 description CISCO C3560 A01 switchport switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 40-48,51,400 switchport mode trunk mtu 9216 end Physical ports are the same config, with channel-group 11 mode active (and repeated for 20 different port-channels each with 4 ports) ACCESS Side: interface Port-channel1 description DIST-VSS-EQX1 switchport switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 40-48,51,400 switchport mode trunk mtu 9216 end Similarly, physical ports are the same with channel-group 1 mode active I'm not overly worried about it since the MEC is working with the dynamically generated port-channel, and traffic is flowing correctly... just curious as to why it uses a clone of the configured port-channel, rather than the actual configured port-channel itself. Just find that a bit strange. Thanks, Leland

Ethernet over DS3 Converters
by Brad Fleming 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hello all, My company is searching for some Ethernet over DS3 converters / adaptors for a specific installation. I see several options from Adtran, RAD-Direct, and a couple other (smaller) vendors and was wondering if anyone out there has suggestions or insights. Our needs are pretty simple: We'll need to pass multiple VLANs unless that's simply not possible. We'll need copper 10/100 interfaces on each side. Here are the two main products we're currently eyeing.... Adtran Product: http://www.adtran.com/web/page/portal/Adtran/group/3024 RAD-Direct Product: http://www.rad.com/10/Fast_Ethernet_over_T3_NTU/2480/ Thanks very much for any suggestions. -- Brad Fleming Network Engineer Kansas Research and Education Network Office: 785-856-9800 x.222 Moblie: 785-865-7231 NOC: 866-984-3662

Hello, I need to identify a quality data cabling contractor in the Bay Area (Peninsula/Palo-Alto/Redwood City) area, and most of the folks I've worked with before are not available or are doing different things these days. Does anyone have a recommended contractor in this area? This is basic Cat5E/Patch Panel work. Thanks for any suggestions! --D -- -- Darren Bolding -- -- darren(a)bolding.org --
