Mine is on FreeBSD, but it runs fine on Linux or any unix system. It's just a PHP / MySQL thing with some unixey requirements for the tools it uses behind the scenes (graphviz, rrdtool, fping, net-snmp, etc). A larger list of what tools it uses, or can use, is in its defaults.inc.php. Not everything there is required (like ipmitool or nmap) but can be used if it's enabled.

How do you like the Cascade? I was looking into that box as a sniffer platform.

Bear in mind that I've had almost NO training on the software - our architect gave me a 30 minute tutorial on how to run basic reports. That being said, it's incredibly easy software to use for basic stuff. I've already used it to diagnose several inter-site issues, like when a production system was showing a TCP connection to an unknown system on the network with unusually high traffic. A Wireshark capture showed nothing, but Cascade showed a historical view indicating that the IP had been using X amount of bandwidth on port Y every 15 minutes between 12am and 12pm for the last month and a half. Turns out, some engineer had a SQL database backup scheduled far, far more often than was necessary and their wireshark captures were run in the afternoon when the traffic wasn't being generated.

Overall, I really like the software and am really curious as to what someone that actually knew what the hell they were doing could accomplish with it.

We have used it for everything from determining where a virus outbreak is coming from (much earlier than usual) to see who is port scanning/host scanning. It is a very powerful tool. You can have it kick off a vulnerability scan, lock down ports on a switch, create a Visio diagram of machines that connect to a server and on what port, and look at network performance of a certain application (RTT, response time, # of resets, bandwidth usage, etc.).

It is a very powerful tool. The only issue that it has is that it requires netflow or a mirrored port. They offer remote tools, more so now since they bough Wireshark, that can get you better layer 7 information and communication between two hosts on the same VLAN.

Question. We're gonna play around in a lab for this. Wanted to get another viewpoint.

So...

We were changing out some 1gig P2Ps between Core and ASR. We had an issue with an IP packet to a certain customer bouncing between ASR2 and Core2. ASR2 would see a range on ASR1 and instead of using the 1gig P2P between ASR1 and ASR2 to forward out of, ASR2 used the 10Gig connection between it and Core 2. Core 2 didn't know what to do with the range, so forwarded it back out to ASR2.

ASR2 still saw the 10 gig to Core2 as the most cost effective route, and kept forwarding that packet out, instead of across the 1gig.

What would cause something like this? I know there are cost adjustments I can make, but I don't want to cause issues with any other packets that were not having trouble. Customer is BGP peered with us. Core2 knows how to get to ASR1, where customer hangs off, but doesn't know how to get to customer specifically since ASR1 learned that route via BGP.

What's your IGP? And why doesn't Core2 know how to reach the customer? You're using BGP route reflectors or a full mesh right?

ASRs have full routes, Cores only have partial routes. Core 2 know show to get to ASR1 and 2, and Core 1, but it doesn't know how to get to customer nor does it know that ASR1 has customer's routes.

Customer is BGP peered with us. Core2 knows how to get to ASR1, where customer hangs off, but doesn't know how to get to customer specifically since ASR1 learned that route via BGP.

http://www.nil.com/ipcorner/LoadBalancingBGP/ covers most of the information you need to know about how BGP load balances on the Cisco platform, from the sounds of your situation I'm thinking-

ASR2 learned the path to the customer via BGP. ASR2 installs a forwarding table entry saying 'send customer traffic to ASR1 loopback'.
ASR2 sees traffic to the customer prefix, searches fib, finds path that says 'use ASR1 loopback'
ASR2 does a lookup for ASR1s loopback (this is the IGP lookup, and optimized away in CEF so it doesn't actually make a second lookup, but logically it does), if ASR1s loopback was learned across the direct 1G PtP as well as the 10G PtP to the core, it's possible the 10G PtP to core was the best path- depending on your IGP setup and costs.

I just deployed SolarWinds NPM + NTA and I'm pretty happy, it's monitoring about 35 remote sites as well as doing NetFlow stats/reports on about 140 dynamic customer's data flowing through our Sydney PoP. Big improvement on the virtually nothing we had before. Looking at the IP SLA add on but right now we only have a few serious SLA customers so it's harder to justify right now.

Is there general distaste for SolarWinds? They seem to have generated an ok community around there free and paid products.

I don't know much about it and I'm not responsible for it - I'm just interested. Our company uses TACACS+ for access control to our networking hardware. It was suggested to me that we wouldn't be able to give people enable access on switches but not on routers. Is this the case? Is there any way we can provide device-based permissions as opposed to only global privilege level permissions? Am I making sense?

You're being BSed. Permissions are defined at the device -- and It's perfectly reasonable to have a different aaa configuration on your routers than on your switches.

Just have something like "aaa authentication enable default group tacacs+ enable" in your switches but not your routers.

I think you might have to have a special account defined on your TACACS+ server for enable to auth against ... I remember it being called $enable$ something ... maybe not if you're using Cisco's product.

You can do per device permissions based on users. If whoever your admin is says you can't do it he is wrong, however maye HE can't do it, but it certainly can be done.

As far as TACACS is conecerned anything that runs IOS behaves identically, switches or routers, however other cisco products, like the ASA or whatever behave differently.

What version of IOS do I need for LLDP support on ISRs? 1800,2800,3800? It seems most of the switches in my lab support LLDP no problem, but the ISRs do not. I'd like to stay away from the T train, and 15.0 for now.

Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

Here's a dumb question, not Cisco-related but I couldn't find a better place to ask:

Let's say my IP address is aa.bb.cc.194, my provider gives me a single IP address for $49.99 a month. Now, my default gateway (which I assume is my modem) gets the address aa.bb.cc.193. My subnet mask is 255.255.255.252 (or /30), and there's also a 'subnet id' of aa.bb.cc.192, and a broadcast address of aa.bb.cc.195. Are those two addresses basically wasted? Hell aren't they wasting 3 addresses since the modem could be bridged and I could have two IP addresses?

How come my modem isn't 192, 193 my neighbor, 194 the next guy, etc? In groups of 16 or 32 or whatever? It just seems wasteful to have 4 addresses for a single subscriber.

Legacy from the days when broadcasts were required for routing protocols and w/e other applications expected broadcasts at layer 3.

What you are describing is a /31 subnet instead of a /30, in almost all cases a /31 is fine but you'll never see it. Even in our production network we still use /30's for point-to-points and so do ISPs for BGP Peering etc.
