How Does the Internet Work? © 2002 Rus Shuler @ Pomeroy IT Solutions, all rights reserved Contents Introduction How does the Internet work? This whitepaper explains the underlying infrastructure and technologies that make the Internet work. Where to Begin? Because the Internet is a global network of computers each computer connected to the Internet must have a unique address. The picture below illustrates two computers connected to the Internet; your computer with IP address 1.2.3.4 and another computer with IP address 5.6.7.8. If you connect to the Internet through an Internet Service Provider (ISP), you are usually assigned a temporary IP address for the duration of your dial-in session. Protocol Stacks and Packets So your computer is connected to the Internet and has a unique address. If we were to follow the path that the message "Hello computer 5.6.7.8!" The message would start at the top of the protocol stack on your computer and work it's way downward. Networking Infrastructure Internet Infrastructure Wrap Up
Greyhole - Redundant Storage Pooling using Samba AAA and VTYs in IOS-XR : Bingo Continuing on the IOS-XR saga, this is the newest bunch of things that don't "work as expected" (© Cisco). Well, as expected by me, not by Cisco. Everything started while trying to configure a primary and backup aaa login method on an ASR9k, when i realized that... 1) having a backup aaa login method with the same tacacs servers as the ones in the primary aaa login method (which is using the management vrf) doesn't work Imagine the following aaa configuration: ! This is supposed to work in the following way: As long as at least one mgmt interface is up (i'm using a virtual-ip for the mgmt interfaces), tacacs communication should happen through the out-of-band mgmt interfaces. Guess what! In order to overcome the above problem, i thought of using different vty templates, each one with a different access method. ! Since the "rotary" command is not supported in IOS-XR, this is what you can do: ! And this is the point you realize that you can't choose a vty, because... So i tried the following: !

GNS3 | Graphical Network Simulator ostinato - Packet/Traffic Generator and Analyzer ASR9000/XR: The concept of a SMU and managing them Introduction A SMU is a software maintenance update, or simply put a patch, that can be loaded on the XR device you are running. The concept of a SMU applies to all XR devices, although this article focuses on the ASR9000 primarily. When the system is running into a SW deficiency (a.k.a. a bug) Cisco can provide a patch for that particular problem in order for you to keep running your base release, but get free of the problem at hand. This is a substantial difference over the classic IOS that has no capability to apply a single fix in a single component on top of the base release run. How do SMU’s work? A SMU is a patch that is provided on a per release and per component basis and is specific to the platform. SMU’s are “PIE” files (package installation envelope) similar as the functionality of feature PIE’s such as MGBL, MPLS and multicast and they are installed in a similar fashion. The 3 operation steps to apply a smu are: Example smu installation and application Couple of notes to that:
Understanding ELAM With the increasing complexity of networking devices and protocols, it can be extremely difficult to pinpoint the source of a networking problem. Often we need to determine if a frame was received and forwarded correctly on a particular device. There are several capturing tools, debugs, and tricks available to help answer this question. ELAM (Embedded Logic Analyzer Module) is an engineering tool that gives us the ability to look inside Cisco ASICs and understand how a packet is being forwarded. Did the packet reach the forwarding engine? And much more… ELAM is extremely powerful, granular, and non-intrusive. ELAM was designed as a diagnostic tool for internal use. For these reasons, ELAM is not a customer-supported feature and has remained a diagnostic tool for internal use. So, with such a firm disclaimer and challenges, why are we discussing ELAM now? First, it is very common that a TAC engineer will utilize ELAM to isolate an issue. ELAM Workflow Centralized vs. Flood Bit RBUS data:
Innovative Troubleshooting Tools in Cisco Switches At Cisco TAC, when the phones ring for P1/P2 outages, a typical problem we hear from customers is about connectivity issues between end-hosts and/or end-users' application performance issues. In an enterprise core/distribution and datacenter network, where virtual switching solutions (like, VSS or vPC) are highly deployed with large number of port-channels / redundant links, it is challenging and critical to trace the path of the packet to identify the device, link and port causing the above-mentioned problems. How does a TAC engineer really find the device / link / port in issue ? The answer is ... by using the innovative tools discussed here. (1) NetDR / EthAnalyzer Net Driver (NetDR) tool is used in Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 platforms to capture the traffic sent to (and received from) the CPU. Here is a sample NetDR capture - reporting layer2, layer3 and layer4 information along with ingress interface. (2) Access-List / VLAN Access-List Capture (ACL / VACL Capture) Miscellaneous:
OSPF - Setting IP MTU values for Cisco and Juniper - The Network Sherpa MTU mismatches are the primary reason an OSPF adjacency becomes stuck in the EXSTART state. After hellos are exchanged and the routers become neighbors, each OSPF speaker advertises the IP MTU of it’s local interface in a Data Base Description (DBD) LSA. If there is a mismatch you’ll probably just adjust the configuration to be identical on both ends of the link and be done. However, when you try to peer two OSPF routers with different network operating systems, things start to fall apart fairly quickly. One of the biggest issues I have seen with MTU is that it means different things to different vendors and engineers. If you’re familiar with Cisco IOS on routers, you’ll know that there are two interface level commands available: ‘mtu’ and ‘ip mtu‘. The aim of the ‘hardware mtu‘ is to ensure that physical interace can handle the full datagram when layer-2 framing overhead is added to the maximum IP packet size. So for NXOS there is only a single command ‘mtu’.
Cisco IOS Shell Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15.1M - Cisco IOS Shell [Support] Cisco IOS Shell First Published: March 25, 2011 Last Updated: March 30, 2011 The Cisco IOS Shell (IOS.sh) feature provides shell scripting capability to the Cisco IOS command-line-interface (CLI) environment. Cisco IOS.sh enhances the process of controlling and configuring an IOS router using the CLI by including, variable substitution, paths, conditional statements, loops, pipes, and so on to enhance the user experience of Cisco IOS CLI users.
