Hi Guys,I had a philosophical discussion with a contractor the other day about his desire to use L3 routed links between the core and access. At present, we're using L2 VLAN trunks between the core and access.Some concerns I have with his argument a...
I'm working away at redistributing routes from OSPF/statics into BGP, and a thought popped up - when should I use "network" statements, when should I use "redistribute <OSPF|static>", and when should I use "redistribute <OSPF|static> route-map ..."?O...
Hi Guys,I have an Cisco 3845 with an NMD-36ESW-2GIG card installed. The two Gigabit ports on the card are not allowing me to do 1000baseT, only 10/100. When I'm in interface configuration mode, I can set the speed to auto/10/100, not auto/10/100/10...
Hi Everyone,I have a Cisco 3845, and recently installed an NMD-36-ESW-2GIG, in order to get the additional 2 1000bT ethernet ports. I went this route, because the cost was cheaper than getting two SFP HWICS + GigE SFP gbics.Anyway, I'd like to know ...
Attavit,If you enable OTV between the two sites, you can then stretch the VLAN from the left side of your diagram to the right side. If you enable a single HSRP speaker/gateway on the left side, and a single HSRP gateway on the right side, this will...
M2 + F2e in the same VDC works as of 6.2(2), in which case F2e module reverts to the classic L2 forwarding mode, leaving all L3 decisions up to the M2 module, so you still need proxy L3 routing.I think the reasoning behind this is due to the M2 L3 en...
Awesome and very valid comments guys! Thank you very much!I didn't think about the cost factor of L3 switches v L2 switches, plus maintenance. I was looking more at the benefits and complexities of future support - we don't have many engineers, and...
Hi,I've had a look at how we've configured NAT on our router.One thing I've found is that you can have multiple "address" statements within a NAT pool:ip nat pool BLAH prefix-length 24 address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.100 address 192.168.1.200 192.168.1...
hassan,See my original reply above for info on how I'm configuring Avaya phones and Cisco switches and routers. Your switch interface config is different to mine (trunk v access) - we originally started with trunk mode on the ports, but switched ove...
