Ip mroute is NOT the same thing as a static ip route but is generally forbidden as well. Watch the requirements carefully.
For QoS I personally find it easier to deal with hard cold numbers with the bandwidth command but either is acceptable. I think the NIMDA stuff is under the technologies or troubleshooting sections I will have to check when I get home. If you absolutely can NOT get one L2 thing going get something up so your L3 will function. Points may be related but are all independent. You would only lose points for that L2 section. ------Original Message------ From: jmangawang Sender: [email protected] To: CCIE OSL Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Couple of general questions for lab Sent: Jul 18, 2009 2:12 PM These questions popped up as I was working on IPExpert Volume 3, Lab 3. Is the "ip mroute x.x.x.x ..." command acceptable to use at any time when doing multicasting? I find that sometimes the RPF takes a different path than where I've configured PIM, and I have to add it, or modify routing in such a way that it's using the correct RPF. Obviously, that has the potential to create a whole new mess. I just wanted to make sure that the "ip mroute" command doesn't have the same stigma as "ip route". When doing QOS, if I'm asked to allocate 10% of an interface's bandwidth for something, i.e. telnet, and I happen to know that the bandwidth is 100Mb, can I just set the policy-map so that it says "bandwidth 10000"? Or should I use the "bandwidth percent" command instead? And if I have to use the bandwidth percent command, do I have to adjust the max-reserved-bandwidth value to 100, so that the bandwidth percent actually uses 10% (or whatever I've set) of the interface's bandwidth? This lab asked me to block NIMDA traffic. I know where to find the doc to block Code Red traffic, but how the heck am I supposed to know where to find details about NIMDA? Ultimately, I Googled it, and found a link that took me to a 12.2 config example note, but when I tried to find my way back to that page, starting from the Cisco Product/Technology Support page, I could never find it. At the very least, what topic should I look under for this? QOS and Security took me nowhere... Finally, say that I'm asked to do something in layer 2, in this case, configure multilink PPP over Frame, and I run into a snag that completely stumps me. Obviously, if I can't get the Frame config going, I'm SOL for pretty much everything else. Would it be safe for me to just configure something, anything, to get Frame connectivity up just so I can at least accomplish the Layer 3 stuff? Or, would me not configuring it at Layer 2 have a trickle down effect whereby I lose all points that had anything to do with transport over that Layer 2 segment? I hope the question isn't to murky... _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Regards, Joe Astorino - CCIE #24347 R&S Technical Instructor - IPexpert, Inc.
