Object-group in ACL

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I thought I was going to use this for one of the client but unfortunately it is only available for IOS above 12.4(20)T.
Object-Group gives you a solution to make your ACL looks much cleaner and nicer and easier to read by substituting those IP addresses and even the services into an object.

Cisco WCS 6.0

Monday, June 15th, 2009

I was impressed with the presentation of Cisco WCS 6.0 today. The WCS has a lot of enhancements including heaps of configurable reporting and web page presentation. The web page presentation feels like an iGoogle on steroids and fully customizable on what kind of information you want to present. You can even use Google Earth [...]

When to use “interface-dlci” or “map ip” on Frame Relay

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I’ve done Frame-Relay IEWB a really long time ago yet I keep forgetting why I should use frame-relay interface-dlci or frame-relay map. Reading the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide, Release 12.4T gives you the explanation and I decided to post it here to help me remember.
For point-to-point subinterfaces, the destination is presumed [...]

PPP Over Frame Relay (PPPoFR) from Internetwork Expert

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Frame Relay does not natively support features such as authentication, link quality monitoring, and reliable transmission. Based on this it is sometimes advantageous to encapsulate an additional PPP header between the normal layer 2 Frame Relay encapsulation and the layer 3 protocol. By running PPP over Frame Relay (PPPoFR) we can then implement authentication of [...]

PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) from Internetwork Expert.

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Below are a couple example configurations for PPPoE. Note that you can run into MTU issues when trying to use OSPF over PPPoE. This can easily be resolved by using the “ip ospf mtu-ignore” command as the dialer interface’s MTU is 1492 while the virtual-template’s (virtual-access) MTU is 1500.

Well, kinda finished. I need to redo some weak spots such as dot1q tunneling, MST, PPPoE, Protected Ports, Flex Link, Fallback Bridging, and Private Vlan which I couldn’t really do it because the remote lab is full booked until Saturday.
I’ve been spending 7 6-hour sessions just to practice over and over for this workbook. [...]
