In other words you have 2 sites, siteA and siteB. SiteA has two internet connections. SiteB has two internet connections. Is it possible to open VPNs accross both connections from siteA to both connections at SiteB?

yes as long as you have 2 unique subnets in both sites and your routing gear can support it. Trivial to do with Cisco ISR gear

So what your saying is, as long as Site A has a subnet of say 192.168.2.0 and Site B has a subnet of 192.168.1.0 it should be ok?

Or are you saying you need two subnets per location?

Can you guys recommend me a cheap router that has the Cisco IOS on it that I can use for my home router? I would like to setup NAT at home and practice there as well. I know there are sims, but I would like to set it up at home too.

It would be even more awesome if this router was not loud.

You don't need to buy something as expensive as a new 800/1800. I use a 1720 with a WIC-1ADSL as a combination modem/router at my place, and if you already have a modem that makes you happy and just want a router you'd be just fine with a 2611 or 1721 as far as I know, which you can get for $50 or less. I haven't actually used a 2600 except in a lab full of much louder things, but as far as I know they're pretty quiet, and I can vouch that the 1700's slow 30mm-ish fan is literally silent.

Just make sure that if you want any specific/exotic features that you check them against the supplied code version on the Software Advisor on Cisco's website, and if you get a 1700 (except the 1760, which is just unnecessary) make sure you buy a power brick because they don't have an internal PSU like the 2600s.

The problem with a 1720/1721 is that its CPU isn't fast enough to be useful for home routing an internet connection like a cablemodem, and you can't get a second ethernet interface unless you hunt down a wic-4esw. Also, 26## routers are not compatible with wic-1adsl. Only 26##-XM routers are.

If you're going to get one of these strictly for lab practice, you might as well just use the sims.

I'm not sure about that, but as I said my 6mbit ADSL connection seems to be able to perform at max speed with no issues. I'm at class right now, but when I get home I'll max it out and let you know what my reported CPU usage is.

Also, the point of recommending the 1721 and not the 1720 is that it does have a second FastE interface. I didn't know about the 26xx not supporting ADSL, but that's definitely in the list of features I would check for any model/code version - I clearly remember checking it when I made the decision to buy the 1720.

17## series routers only have 1 FE port built in. You can add a wic-1E to most of them, but that card's pretty worthless in any real-world practical applications.

Interesting, I must have imagined it based on the difference between the 26x0/26x1. Sorry, my mistake. OK, if you want two Ethernet interfaces, buy a 2611 instead of a 1720/2610 not only because yes, a 10Base-T WIC does suck, but also because why would you pay more for a WIC and a slower router when you could just get two FastE lines built in?

That said, here's a summary of my decidedly unscientific router test:

First off, I fired up the eight most seeded torrents on linuxtracker, plus three more that I can seed myself for a total of eleven torrents. Knowing that I only have around 700KBps of bandwidth (due to the ADSL limitations) I rate-limited each to 100KB download so that one wouldn't dominate. Finally, I fired up WoW and logged in at Stormwind, which is probably the busiest area on my high population server.

Six of the torrents have hit the full 100KBps, and a couple more are creeping along, and WoW while not as responsive as it should be is playable and stable.

Here's a "show proc cpu hist" on my 1721:

code:

So while it is being worked fairly hard, it's not maxed out with this 6Mbit down/750kbit up link. Would I trust it to max out two 10Mbit WICs or something more strenuous than basic IP traffic? No, of course not, but I've never had any issues with it for anything I've done at home. I'm not sure how the processing power of the 26xx series compares, but all I really wanted to say is that I don't think you need to spend $300+ on a current-gen device to run IOS at home and eat your cake, too.

When I hopefully move up to a 15Mb down/2 up connection next year, I'm sure I'll be in the market for a more powerful device.

I have been under the impression that when you have two devices in the same layer (switch to a switch or router to router) you use a cross over cable. In fact is it not in the CCNA that you would use a cross over cable to connect them? Of course, barring the fact that you can connect serial to serial on a router, this has been the norm.

I have been told in the past that you can connect straight through to switch to switch and it will auto-sense. I guess what I am asking is it best practice to use a cross over or a straight through? Additionally, if I see this in the CCNA I assume I would answer cross-over.

The CCNA will tell you: Switch to router or host: straight through. Switch to switch, or router/host to router/host: crossover.

Auto-MDIX is an optional part of the Gigabit standard, making it likely that a gigabit connection with anything will work with either, but as far as I am aware the vast majority of 100/10 connections will not auto-crossover.

I just set up an ONS in a lab with a couple OC12 cards and a couple DS3 cards, and half the chassis slots don't work. I suspect it's a TCC2P card on that side not working, but I don't know if that's how they work, 1 TCC2P per side? I'm going to gently caress with it more tomorrow. I guess they do well enough once we get them going, but holy poo poo, until they're racked and pushing traffic, we don't know what's going to happen with them.

1 15454 card? In a network of about 12. In 6-7 years.

The TCCs are the controllers (sups to use switch terminology), they're management only and don't do any traffic forwarding.
XCs are cross connect cards (let you build circuits from port to port).

Do you have the cards in the right slots (match up the card icons, with the slot icons) ?

The one that caught fire, was it the first one the guy wired up? Not all DC devices are actually -48VDC some are +48VDC and red is "negative."

Find a new supplier. I think I've lost 2 DS3 cards and a fan tray in 2 years on ~9 chassis, both switched to protect and bitched at me till I replaced the card.

We're doing some pilot testing of a dual hub DMVPN design (we run single hubs currently, but two total = 1 x each coastal datacenter) that will use a 1841 handling a commodity broadband circuit and a standby 881G handling a 3G cellular link.

We figure if we cram a little Steelhead behind the pair it should perform pretty well, and if it does, we may start pulling our branch sites out of our very expensive MPLS environment.

The cost savings are huge, really- commodity broadband with 3G backup is a hell of a lot less expensive than what we're getting T1 port + access for in most of our locations.

Mostly we just HSRP the 1841 and the 881G together on the LAN side, and then set appropriate metrics to prefer the primary DMVPN tunnels for return traffic.

The steelhead is just for caching / tcp voodoo'ing.

I've never used a cisco switch that does not have an IP assigned to it, I mean being managed by an IP address is the whole point right?

You're right that VTP doesn't really turn off, the best you can do is set it to transparent mode so it ignores the VTP info and just blindly passes them on.

Assuming you have your switches set to client mode they should pick up any revisions that are in the same domain with a higher revision number. I guess you could enable VTP debugging and see what is going on?

Edit: STP instead of VTP? Guess who's been messing around with RPVST recently!

Hey man, me and you seem to be about on the same track. I am studying to take my icnd2 test and funny enough have been working on vtp today as well.

You can debug VTP using the following "debug sw-vlan vtp events" & "debug sw-vlan vtp events packets."

If you can find a 2960, it should work. Most all switches support IGMP snooping anymore, but the feature you will need for a standalone switch is an IGMP querier unless you have an upstream router or other L3 device that can query for you. (Going by memory, so refresh me if I'm wrong.)

A 2950 probably won't work, and 2955s are made for industrial apps and are usually 10/100 from my experience.

If you can find a 2960, it should work. Most all switches support IGMP snooping anymore, but the feature you will need for a standalone switch is an IGMP querier unless you have an upstream router or other L3 device that can query for you. (Going by memory, so refresh me if I'm wrong.)

Thanks for the help, my switch is a netgear L2/L1( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122057 ) device that I don't believe supports, or if it does it only multicasts at 3MB/s, It should be doing much higher than that, I'll look into some settings on my WDS server for problems

Does anyone know a cheap cisco switch anything really I'll take a 2950/2960 that supports IGMP snooping? preferably ~200 dollars? 16 ports and gigabit? Or where I can find a list of cheap switches that do support it? The netgear at work we have for WDS does not support it and the hard drive has a max R/W of 58/MB throughput and max IOPS of less than 100 I think.

How many ports of gigabit? The 2950G or 2950T are 24 port 10/100 + 2 GbE. And they support IGMP snooping.

Cheapest gig Cisco to do it is probably a 2970G.

Do you guys find the ONS 15454 platform to be flaky as gently caress? We've got a couple out and about, and between chassis randomly blowing up (literally... one caught fire as it was powered up), cards being flaky and not coming up, and poo poo like that. I just set up an ONS in a lab with a couple OC12 cards and a couple DS3 cards, and half the chassis slots don't work. I suspect it's a TCC2P card on that side not working, but I don't know if that's how they work, 1 TCC2P per side? I'm going to gently caress with it more tomorrow. I guess they do well enough once we get them going, but holy poo poo, until they're racked and pushing traffic, we don't know what's going to happen with them.
They are rock solid and have been the telecom standard for almost 20 years. The problem is most of the older cards OC12s/DS3s etc are well, old. Even if they were bought new its possible they have been sitting in a warehouse for 7 or 8 years.

The TCCs are completely independent of each other. The active one handles all control decisions, while the standby does literally nothing. You may also have some bad chassis's, as those have been around for a long time as well. Once you finally get some ONS stuff that is good, it will last for years.

I'm gonna hit you until candy comes out.
Yeah, I guess I'm just kind of whining. We've got 6 of them deployed right now that have been pretty solid for the last couple years doing all kinds of hosed up muxing/demuxing for our poo poo. I guess I'm just kind of annoyed that I had to spend half of last week with XO with a couple DS3 outages and an OC12 outage due to failed hardware on their side. I guess we just need to test the gently caress out of everything before we send it out because until it's actually in production, we don't know what we're going to get.

I've got some strange latency problems with some switches and was hoping someone in this thread could point me in the right direction. I'm not too hot on Cisco stuff or switching in general so apologies if I get any terminology wrong or miss out any information.

I have two 3750s in a cluster. All of my 25 servers are patched into these two switches. The servers that have dual NICs are patched into both switches, with HP NIC teaming for Windows set up.

Each 3750 has an uplink to a cluster of 4 x 3550s. All of my desktop PCs are patched into these.

If I ping one server from another server, I see latency of between 50ms to 100ms.

However, if i ping a server plugged into the 3750 from a desktop PC plugged into the 3550, I see <1ms latency.

I have telnetted onto the 3750 switch itself and pinged various servers; less than 1ms latency, however I do get a little bit of packet loss.

Any ideas what is possibly going on here? Not really sure how to start with this.

How are these two switches linked? Are they in a stack or connected with a gigabit connection?

Do you mean they have one connection on one switch, and the second connection on the other?

What does the topology look like here?

My first guess is that there is a problem between the two 3750s.

They are in a stack, connected with a proprietary looking cable.

Yes, exactly.

Each 3750 is patched into a gigabit port on a C3550-12T (the model that has 10 x gigabit and 2 GBIC ports). The C3550-12T is in a stack with the 48 port C3550s.
