6500 with SUP720: Output Policing

Can anybody tell me which Bytes from the L2 Header are included in the policing calculation if i police the rate of a ethernet interface (with a policy-map)? i.e. Preamble, dot1q, mac......
Thanks for any feedback!

Hi there,
funny enough the info is found where one wouldn´t really expect it:
What Bytes Are Counted by IP to ATM CoS Queueing?
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk39/tk824/technologies_tech_note09186a00800942f5.shtml
So the answer would be: no preamble and no CRC is counted. It is the same byte counter implemented as with show interface.
Hope this helps
Martin

QoS Packets not matching on 6500 with SUP720-10GE and SU2T

Hi,
I do not see packets matching in policy.

I checked policies, they looks applied correctly.
On SUP-720-10GE, I modified ACL to 'permit udp any any' but not found any matching packets. There are plenty of IP phones connected directly to this switch belongs to voice VLAN. I applied VLAN based QoS under voice VLAN and other VLANs too.
I observed different thing on SUP 2T. I saw packets matching ACL statement 'permit udp any any' but when I took off this line, ACL was not showing packets matching.

Could anyone please help, how to make sure that packets are hitting correct ACL and policy on 6500 with SUP720-10GE and SUP2T.

VRF-Lite with 6500 w/ Sup720

I am working with a customer who would like to utilize path isolation in their network using VRF-Lite. I am currently debating between the use of GRE tunnels vs. VLANs between 3 core switches they currently have in place today. This is going to be overlay network on top of what they currently have. The core is all L2 today with 802.1q trunks between each of 3 cores in a ring topology. Closets are single homed into the core throughout.
My question is regarding GRE vs. VLANs. Currently, we are looking at having to deploy 12 VRFs to support 12 seperate network types they would like to isolate. The Access layer switches will trunk to the cores where the core will apply VRFs to specific VLANs based on their role.
Which is going to be a more scalable solution from a performance and adminstration standpoint. GRE, VLANs, or MPLS?
Currently the GRE implementation is going to require that we configure many loopbacks and tunnels on each core in order to get the VRFs talking to each other in each core. The VLAN approach will require 24 VLANs per core (assuming we would go with PTP vs Multipoint for routing inside the VRF).
Any thoughts on which way to proceed? From what i have read GRE is more appropriate when you have multiple hops between VRF tables, which in this case we do not. I am just concerned with loopbacks,tunnels, and then routing on top of that the GRE solution will lack scalability as they add more VRFs. A PTP VLAN will pose a similar problem without the need for loopbacks which should simplify the solution.
Can we use MPLS here and just do PE to PE MPLS and still get the VRF segmentation we need between cores?
I would like eventually migrate the entire core to L3 completely but today we are stuck with having to support legacy networks (DEC/LAT/SNA) and have to keep some L2 in place.
Whats the best approach here?

Shine,
I actually ended up with basically the same design you are talking about here except that I ended up adding a couple 6500 +FWSM and NAC L3/L2 CAM/CAS into the mix.
Here is the high level overview
1. Every Closet had a minimum of 6 VLANs - unique to the stack or closet switch - Subnets were created for each VLAN as well - no spanning of L2 VLANs across switch stacks.
2. VLANs were assigned for - Voice, Data, LWAPP VLAN, Guest/Unauthorized, Switch/Device Management, and at least 1 special purpose VLAN - (Lab, Building Controls, Security, etc).
3. Then we trunked all the VLANs back to 1 of 3 cores - 6509s with Sup-720s
4. Each Core 6509 was configured for each L2 VLAN with a L3 SVI (The VLANs configured here were not configured on any other cores - we didn't have available fiber runs to do any type of redundant pathing across multiple cores so it wasn't valid in this design to configure VLAN SVIs on more than one core).
5. Each L3 SVI was assigned to the appropriate VRF based on use - Voice, Data, LWAPP, etc
6. Spanning-Tree Roots for all VLANs trunked to a core were specific to that core - they did not trunk between Cores - no loops
7. Each Core was connected via a L2 Trunk that carried Point to Point VLANs for VRFs traffic - We had an EIGRP AS assigned to each VRF on the link - so we had 6 VRFs and 6 EIGRP AS per trunk.
8. This design occurred on each core x2 as it connected to the other cores in a triangle core fashion.
9. Each of the Cores had a trunk to to 6500 with a FWSM configured - VRF/L3 PTP VLAN design continued here as well
10. The 6500+FWSM was configured with multiple SVIs and VRFs - we had to issue mult-vlan mode on the FWSM to get it to work.
11. Layer 2 NAC was configured with VLAN translation coming into the Core 6500/FWSM for Wireless in L2 InBand Mode - the L3 SVIs were configured on the clean side of the NAC CAM so traffic was pulled through the CAM from from the dirty side - where the controller mapped host SSIDs to appropriate VLANs. We only had to configure a couple host VLANs here - Guest and Private so this was not much of an issue - Private was NAC enabled, Guest VLAN/SVI was mapped to a DMZ on the firewall
12. For Layer 3 NAC we justed used an out of band CAM configurations with ACLs on the Unauthorized VLAN
It worked like a charm.
If I had to do it all over again I would go with MPLS/BGP for more scalability. Configuring trunks between the cores and then having the mulitple EIGRP AS/PTP VLANs works well in networks this small but it doesn't scale indefinately. It sounds like your network is quite large. I would look into MPLS between a set of at least 3-4 Core PE/CE devices. Do you plan on building a pure MPLS core for tagged switched traffic only? Is your campus and link make up significant enough to benefit from such a flexible design?

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).
Our client want excel output on priority.
Is there any limitation for excel output format of reports?
It is very urgent for us please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Problem with images in XML with excel output

Hello:
I made an XML concurrent program, with excel output, but i am having a problem:
The rtf template has a logo (bmp image), but it is not showing in the excel (if i execute the concurrent in the oracle applications). However, if i create the xml in Oracle Reports in my computer, and then load that xml in the rdf template in word, i can see the logo in the excel preview. I don't know why is it not showing when i execute the program in applications.
If someone can help me with this, i will be very grateful.
Greetings

xml cP, will not give you a image in excel output,..
In RDF there is a placeholder for image, and the image is located in certain location, at runtime it picks and render the output with logo.
but xml CP, will get the data in xml type and merge with rtf to get the output you wanted..
if you have the rtf with logo embedded in it, if output is of pdf or rtf output , then it will display the logo ,.
in excel currently it is not possible to show the logo,..
excel you see could be xml-excel or csv-excel not the true binary excel.
to get the logo embedded ,for that you have to wait on tim for the excel template, which will be release in near future i guess..

Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

Hi,
I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
2009/08/26 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfserver.exe: [314]Agent exit message: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks
Senthil

I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint. I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
Hope this helps anyone....

Premiere Pro CC CUDA rendering working with avi output only

Hello All,
on my system Premiere Pro CC is only using GPU rendering with AVI output formats.
All other formats like MPEG2, Quicktime, H.264 are unfortunatly fully CPU rendered (=slow).
I just upgraded from trial to payed mode and when Premiere started the CUDA was already enabled (might have activated it during trial already).
But anyway I checked if my card was in the support txt file and also used the cuda.zip auto tool to make sure I had no typo.I did this for Premiere Pro CC and also copied the list into the Adobe Media Encoder directory.
No matter what I did - no hardware rendering.
So I started playing with input and output formats.
It turned out that CUDA is currently only working with AVI output. I installed GPU-Z to check my GPU usage vs CPU usage in the task manager.
As soon as I pick any other output format than AVI - CPU usage during rendering is up to 80-90 and GPU at 0%.
With AVI output GPU ist around 30 and CPU in the 40ties or less as it should be.
What is going wrong here?
One of my old applications Cyberlink Power Produces 11 is doing the h264 rendering in half the time.
Any suggestions?
My System is running on:
Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe with 16GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti (with current Driver - 332.21 )
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit (with Media Center) and latest updates
Current entry in CUDA*.txt file (as printed by Adobe GPUSniffer):
GeForce GTX 660 Ti
And already tried:
GeForce GTX 660Ti
GeForce GTX 660
Best regards
Moongate
P.S. I already followed the instructions on this page http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm

I now understand that Premiere Pro CC is only using my GPU for accelerating complex effects during editing giving me the possibility of a live preview during editing?
From the editing in other apps I know that the final rendering can also eat up much time which is why they try to accelerate it via GPU rendering. I see that Premiere is "outsourcing" this task to the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) so that you can continue working during rendering.
But I believe what tricked me into asking this question is that in the AME there is also the option to choose between software and GPU assisted Mercury Engine. So there must be a purpose for it and it sounds resonable that it is for GPU assited rendering.
So when the encoder is not using the GPU to speed up completion of rendering - what is he doing with that option?
Would it not be clever to cut rendering drastically using the GPU - its hard to believe that Adobe is only using it for previews?

SmartForms : Printing Non-English characters with SWIN output device?

I have a Japanese Text (entered in Unicode at So10) and I want to print it from my SmartForms application using SWIN device type.
I thought SWIN converted all the components into graphics before sending to printer. To my surprise, the Japanese text printed out as "########".
I even tried duplicate the SWIN output device to another output device and changed the character set to 4103 UTF-16LE Unicode / ISO/IEC 10646 but then the print process hang.
Anyone knows how to overcome the problem so that I can print Japanese with SWin output device?

CS5 Error with Animation Output

Running CS5 on a Mac 10.6.4
Every time I render, it gives the following error message:
An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
I've tested the files on a different machine and they open and render out fine.
I did some searches and for some it was the dreaded Optical Flares plugin from Video CoPilot causing this same problem.
I'm having these issues and I don't have any plugins installed.
Re-Installed everything 3 times, trashed preferences, removed plugins from the Application support and still no luck.
The only thing that works for me is outputting to a PNG or JPEG sequence.
If I try to render using the Animation preset, It gives the error message.
I also have been getting a weird "MooV" error message when I try to import certain types of quicktime files. Not all just a few random ones.
All of this leads me to believe it may be an issue with 32 bit Quicktime.
Any suggests on how I can get the Animation preset working again?
Thanks.
It gives an error message

Sure, I had the exact problem posted at the top of this thread. Spent two days reading all the posts regarding anything that had to do with this Output Module error. I finally came upon a post of someone who was having a similar issue as I with the hang at start up. However, the post was replied to by a guy who said "Repeat the hang with only AE running, then go to the Activity Monitor and select the QT32 Server process. Then press the "Sample Process" button at the top of the window...It looks like both of you are having a similar problem with a third party AVI codec. Please remove or uninstall any third party AVI codecs such as DivX, XVid, etc. from your system and try AE again."
"You can also temporarily disable these components by closing any QT related apps and then dragging components out of the Library/QuickTime folder on your boot drive. If that works, try adding them back one by one until it fails again. That is the problem codec."
So I removed AviImporter.component from Library/Quicktime on the boot drive and these two problems were solved.
Here is the link to the post where I found this info.

Can a laptop with VGA output use the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display?

I bought a 2011 Macbook Air and I'm thinking about upgrading my office monitor. The new Apple Thunderbolt 27" display comes to mind.
However, I also have a Lenovo X201 with VGA output, which I would also like to connect to the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display sporadically.
Will the VGA to mini-display port adapter work? If not, does there exist a VGA to mini-display port converter that will work and if so which one?

You are thinking of that adapter backwards. It is not VGA to MDP but is "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter". This means it will take video out of a a MDP connection and convert it to a VGA connection. It will not go the other direction like you need.
Sorry but that Lenovo just doesn't have the ability to connect to the new display. If it had a HDMI video port like some other Lenovo models, you could adapt from that but I don't know of any VGA to Mini-DisplayPort/ThunderBolt adapters.
Even if you were to use such an adapter, the video card in that laptop couldn't drive a 27" display at the native resolution so it would look very bad.
One other option would be to use the Lenovo X200 docking station which has a full sized Display Port. You would have to use a Display Port to Mini Display port adapter then you could attach the TB cable to it. There is also a USB video replicator that has a DVI-I output then then yet another adapter to get to Mini-Display.
However, both of these options would still be limited by the graphics card at 1920x1080 so it still wouldn't look good.
