Hey Guys, Go easy on my im a Cisco VoIP engineer and have a HiPath 4000 question. Management would like reserved DN's to route to a recording that says "You have reached and invalid number bla bla.." Our onsite Siemens techs are telling me that this can't be done with touching each DN. I...

So even though OER is the way to go, ive been given direction to do EIGRP load share because we'd have to replace some devices to do OER. Anyways, I've labbed this up in GNS3 and i cant get the load share working. I was wondering if this would even work considering the two WAN links do no term...

Stared! Thanks again!

This pretty much says it all.... "To make the whole idea even more impractical, EIGRP does not scan the interface load (and other parameters influencing the metric) on periodical basis, but only when triggered by a change in network topology (for example, interface or neighbor up/down even)."...

My bad "In Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T, 12.2(33)SRB and later releases, the ability to monitor and control inbound traffic was introduced."

I thought i read that OeR only monitors and controls outbound traffic only.

So is there any down side to turning on LOAD for Eigrp? I did look at OeR but it looks like it wont work with OSPF, only BGP, or static routes :(

can you explain what is the difference between load share and load balance. I thought the bandwidth part of EIGRP will base its cost or metric on how much the circuit is being used. So if Circuit A is being used to say 90% capacity it will give routes being advertised over that link a higher...

We have two sites. They both have 100 Meg links between them. Each circuit connects to its own router. So: R1/1-------2/1 | | R1/2-------2/2 The IGP is OSPF. We are looking to load-balance these links better in the event that the bandwidth is pegged. We are thinking about running...

The intent is from Site-1 one to send traffic over both links even if one circuit has a better metric than the other. When it gets to Site-2 then it can take the preferred path.

So i have two circuits that term to another site. Both circuits term to seperate routers Site1R1----------Site2R1 | | | | Site1R2----------Site2R2 The IGP is OSPF and we want to load balance the circuits in a bi-directional fashion, how would one go about that?

I can imagine a lot of warning being generated and getting so many that they get over-looked, i guess thats where "the tinkering around" part comes into play. So you run IPS on your router huh? I'm thinking about turning it on my ISR, but didnt know if its common deployment. Is it pretty common...

Burt, Does Kiwi notify you when certain attacks occur. What im afraid of is endless amounts of logging that gets overlooked unless theres an audit. Always wanted to ask that afraid its a stupid question.

Hey Folks, I will shortly be bringing up a DR location to mirror out HQ office. At HQ we have a public ASN number, we use this ASN to advertise our address space out to the world, we also use this ASN to advertise our local networks to our remote locations via MPLS provider. Can we use the...

im sorry. It appears that we are already using both Gig uplink ports already. However im looking to use the 10Gig uplinks instead of the 1 gigs. As we are already using it i assume theres no difference between using the 1gigs vs 10gigs.
