Full Mesh to Hub Spoke Connectivity

I have implemented MPLS VPN. Currently running as a full mesh connectivity. I
need to implement and configure a hub and spoke connectivity due to the
business requirement.
I have 4 spokes and 1 hub. For each spokes, they shouldn't communicate
with spoke, only to hub and vice-versa.
What is the appropriate and best practise for me to implement and configuring for such scenario?
Appreciate your feedbacks and opinion.
regards,
maher

ok keep all your config in as it is just now. The only issue (personal one I believe) is that you shall be using the same RD everywhere but that shouldnt matter. On your hub site add under the vrf something like Route-target export 99:1. On a your spoke sites add route-target export 99:2 then on the other spoke site route-target export 99:3 until you do them all to 99:x. Then go back to the hub site and do route-target import 99:2 all the way through to x. You can now remove your original route-targets and all shall be fine. A cleaner method would be to completely remove the vrf but thats prolly too much hassle and downtime for your liking :-)

KCC Generated Replication Topology for 3 sites - not a full mesh

A fairly old topic but a question still - in a 3 site AD domain/forest, 2003 forest and domain level, 2x 2012R2 DC, 1x 2008R2 DC, and a single site link that all 3 are members of (cost 100, replication 15 min) - KCC doesn't end up creating a full mesh but
a hub and spoke topology.
So it ends up being Site A connects to both B and C, but B and C just go back to A and don't set up links to each other - which I'd prefer a bit more redundant, but without manually creating any links.
Is there any reason/logic for hub and spoke even though 3 sites really should be a ring/mesh?

Is direct communication between B and C possible? Then create site links
according to your topology :)

Switch 2P2 to hub-spoke

Hello,
I would like to clearly understand if when i use P2P webcam or Audio publishing, that is when i use the recipientIDs array, if the App swith from 2P2 to hub-spoke protocol, for any reason, what exactly changes for the user?
Does the stream will still be delivered to the users listed in recipientIDs but with a different protocol which will involve server and cost money (which P2P does not), or does it mean that the stream will be delivered to every user connected to the room, ignoring the recipientIDs value?
You probably understood that i don't really know what hub-spoke is exactly
Thanks a lot
Seb

Hi,
So hub-spoke and p2p protocol is room based. If your room stream connection is p2p based, then all streams irrespective of recipientIDs being set or not , will be p2p and similarly all streams will be hub-spoke if your room connection is hub-spoke irrespective of recipientIDs. There is no mix and match of the two protocols in the room.
You can get the value of current connection by using streamMnager.isP2P property which says whether the connection will be hub-spoke or p2p . Every stream will follow the protocol.
I haven’t tried p2p with recipientIDs but it should work fine.
Our default is p2p unless one of your connected user have some firewall, user limitation(in case of player 10), player version or connection(rtmfp or not). In that case, every stream seamlessly switches to hub-spoke and vice versa from hub-spoke to p2p if that user is no longer there.
Hope this clears things
Thanks

[rspan in 'hub+spoke' topology]

Hi,
I have the topology depicted in the attached drawing.
What we want to achieve is to enable rspan to replicate monitored traffic from access switches (3550 spokes) to a core switch (6500 hub).
The configuration in general is working and looks like this:
HUB:
monitor session 1 destination interface Gix/y
monitor session 1 source remote vlan z
SPOKES:
monitor session 1 source interface Gix/y
monitor session 1 destination remote vlan z
As stated previosly the environment is working, but...we're having one problem. The uplinks from the spokes to the hub are almost full. After doing some troubleshooting, we found that span traffic is being replicated by the hub to the spokes. The reason I say this is that when i remove the rspan vlan (on the core switch) from the uplink to the hubs the output traffic from core to access (or input on the access switches) goes down in the same amount being received by the network analyzer. when i add the vlan on the uplink trunk again, the traffic going out of the core to the access switches goes up by the same amount being sent to the network analyzer.
Like i said, the rspan part seems to be working fine, but the uplinks to the access switches are getting full because the hub switch is copying the span traffic to all uplinks which is not what we want.
Two questions here:
1.- Is this the way rspan is supposed to work in this environment?
2.- if not, is there a way to turn off this behavior or does it sound like a bug to you?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
in Hub and Spoke - as in any other L3VPN - traffic will flow in the opposite direction of IP routing updates. In a Hub and Spoke setup the spoke sites should get routing updates from the hub site. Thus one faces a split horizon problem: updates learned at the hub CE from a neighbor (PE) will not be sent back over the same interface to that neighbor. Hence the simple solution is: one VRF and interface to announce spoke routes from the PE to the hub CE and another interface terminating in a second VRF to announce the routes from the hub CE back into the MPLS VPN environment.
Just as a side note: this results in an unusual load pattern on the two hub CE interfaces. Both interfaces will have nearly only load in one direction.
Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.

Full mesh VPN solution for on MPLS network with PE and CPEs

Hi,
We are trying to evaluate some best solution for Hub-Spoke mesh vpn solution in a MPLS network. The VPN hub router will be in PE router and all the VPN spoke will be in CPE.
Can someone please let us know what will be the best vpn solution, we understands that there will be some technical limitations going with GETVPN but still we did counld find any documenation for possiblity of using DMVPN.
How about the recent flexvpn, can fex-vpn work on this requirement, where can i get a design/configuration document.?
thanks in advance.

Hello,
GetVPN is intended for (ANY-to-ANY) type of VPN communication, over an MPLS network with Hub and Spoke Topology, your best Option is to look for Cisco (DMVPN) implementation where this type of VPN is primarily designed for Hub & Spoke.

VPN full mesh on ISRs, no DMVPN

Hi Everyone,
I need to build a full mesh VPN network on the ISRs and the thing is that there will be no hub all routers should be able to talk to each other independently. So looks like I will have 5 end points so planning to have 4 GRE tunnels with IPSEc protection on each router pointing to all neighbours and run EIGRP on top. What do you guys think?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

Actually wondering what is the preferrable and less resource consuming method - using VTI or GRE (both with IPSEC protection)?
Like I said I will have 7 sites each has double routers, so i am going to have like 14 routers and 12 VTI or GRE tunnels on each of them. Total encryption traffic will not exceed 200 Mbps(with future scalability). Wondering which routers would I use for these. Thinking on ISR G2 (29xx) series.
Thanks.

Can I use a USB hub to connect more than 1 hard drive/flash drive device to the EA4500?

Can I use a USB hub to connect more than 1 hard drive/flash drive device to the EA4500?

That's not possible, it was designed to handle one device at a time.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Could I use a USB hub to connection both a printer and an external hard drive to the time capsule?

I am planning on purchasing a new router. The Time Capsule looks amazing. However, I have Macs and PC's in my how. So, I need to know if I can connect a printer (for all computers) and external hard drive (for the PC's) by way of a USB hub on the Time Capsule. I've read that you can do this with the Air-Extreme.

Couple of comments:
You will need to use a powered USB hub to connect multiple devices to the USB port on the Time Capsule
The hard drive for use with the PCs will not be compatible for use with the Time Capsule if it is currently formatted for Windows NTFS, which it likely may be if you have been using with the PCs.
Same info applies to the AirPort Extreme.
The following hard drive formats would be supported:
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
MS DOS FAT32

Full bars, in and out connectivity, big problems...

Hi,
So I live in a New York City apartment where there is bound to be plenty of interference. The apartment is fairly big too so there is a decent amount of space to cover. I keep buying more things, assuming they will help, which to a certain degree they do, but nothing has ever been completly solved and I know there has got to be a solution.
Right now we have an airport extreme base station in the living room. My father's powermac g5 is hardwired via ethernet to this. We have a Dr. Bott Extendair Omni attached to the basestation. THEN, we have an airport express to relay the signal in my father's office and yet another airport express about 20 feet away, across the hall, in my room, to relay the signal once again.
For the first time I get consistant full bars in my room. When the door's open I can connect to the internet, but its fairly slow. I close my door and I get no connection, but I still have full bars. On the other side of the house my mom is connecting to the network via her powerbook g4. She also gets consistant full bars and decent speed connection.
All of this gear seems a bit excessive to begin with, but to not even have a perfect, fast running network with it all -in a space not that big - seems rediculous. We do have 2.4 ghz phones, but I did a test one day, unplugged them all, and saw no change. Just to be safe, I removed the 2.4 phones from my room and my father's office.
Finally, I'm not 100% sure that the airport expresses are doing their job relaying the signal. In the airport drop down menu I only see one "home" which is our network. But I installed MacStumbler to check things out in more detail and saw 2 "home" networks - each with a different MAC address. I'm not sure what that's about.
Sorry for the long post, but as you can see this is a fairly large, ongoing, issue that I would really love to resolve.
Powermac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Airport Extreme Base Station and 2 Airport Express

...in the airport admin utility, under the Internet tab on both AX's it says connect using Airport (WDS), but on my base station it says connect using Ethernet. This is correct, correct?
Correct! That is correct!
Also, I just noticed on the AX's in the airport admin utility under the Airport tab, in the section that says Airport Network - the wireless mode is set to Create a Wireless Network (home router) and not join an existing wireless network (wireless client). Is this the correct setting?
I believe that is correct. WDS directions are in KB 107454, AirPort Extreme and Express: Using WDS to create a network from multiple base stations.
And lastly, I just tried to change the channel, but it comes up saying, "This base station is currently set up in WDS. Changing the channel will disconnect the WDS." Do I want to disconnect the WDS? Will this mess other things up?
It's a warning that you are going to need to change all of the base stations to the same channel for WDS to continue to work.

My 2011 macmini boots very slowly when d-link usb hub is connected.

I have a 2011 macmini that boots very slowly when my D-link 7 port usb hub is attached. The hub is the newest model and has three 3TB seagate external hdd's plugged in to it. Normally boot time is about 1 minute, with hub connected it's about 3+ minutes. Shut down time is also much slower when the hub is connected. If I unplug it, boot up and shutdown time is back to normal. Does anyone know if this is normal, or do I have a bad hub or external hdd's.

It's a bit normal, OSX checks or repairs most drives connected when booting.
Use Disk Utility to Repair the external Drives.
Also, Is Spotlight indexing these drives? Is Time Machine using any of them?
Have you tried one drive connected at a time to see if it's just one or 2 doing it?
Did you Install any Seagate Software?

Using AirPort Extreme hub to connect to stereo

Is it possible to use a second Airport Extreme hub to connect to stereo speakers?
If it is, what kind of cable might one use to do this?
Thanks

No, the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not have any type of audio output.
Are you thinking of the AirPort Express which does have an audio output?

Vpls full mesh

What is the recommeded number of
ce's in a full mesh.
and can you have more than one ce on
the same PE with physical different interfaces
in the same VPLS domain

I should clarify the previous statement.
What I was looking for was the max number of PE in a full mesh, most examples i have read have 4 PE. I have a max of 14 PE that may require a full mesh.

BT Home hub not connected message

We use my wife's XP sp3 laptop wirelessly at home, but when we use it away from home on a 'paid for' wireless providers network (as no BTFon is avaliable at that location), we occasionally get the BT Home hub not connected message come up in an IE page. How can it be turned off, there is no solution in BT FAQs?
Regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just for good measure, I would install another web browser while you still have internet access. Then if you have the same problem, try the other web browser and see if that works.
I noticed that you said it says that the Hub is switched off. This is the message that appears when there is no internet connection at all.
Maybe the WiFi had dropped and there was no signal for a small period of time, then when it went to go to the 'page cannot be displayed' screen it redirected you to the 'hub is switched off' message because it had been cached previously.

How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

Ok, if other devices are connecting but just not your MacBook then let's start troubleshooting the MacBook to possibly find out why.
Please try each of the following, in order, until hopefully resolved:
Note the following are excerpts from an OS X Daily article.
* Turn Airport on & off – You can do this via the Airport menu bar or from the Network Preferences. This is the first thing you should try when troubleshooting Mac wireless problems.
* Make sure Wireless/Airport card software & firmware is up to date – This is usually done just by going to the Software Update menu, if there are any updates available for your Mac or Airport, install them.
* Delete and recreate connection – Try deleting and recreating/reestablishing the wireless connection, sometimes a setting can be corrupted and this may fix it.
* Create a new Network Location – Similar to the above suggestion, try creating a new and different wireless network location to see if it resolves the connection problems.
* Change DHCP auto settings to manual – sometimes there is a problem with the DHCP server, and if you manually set an IP address on the network you can be fine. Remember to set the IP to a high number so it wouldn’t interfere with other DHCP machines. As long as you have the subnet mask, router, and DNS settings configured manually as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.
* Flush the DNS cache – Launch the Terminal and enter the following command onto one full line within the Terminal: dscacheutil -flushcache
* Zap the PRAM – Reboot your Mac and hold Command+Option+P+R during restart until you hear another chime, let the Mac boot as usual.
* Delete Wireless Config files – Delete com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist and com.apple.internetconfig.plist files from ~/Library/Preferences and reboot
* Trash your home directories SystemConfiguration – Remove all files within ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and then reboot your Mac.
* Reset your Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC) – For MacBook and MacBook Pro’s: Shutdown the MacBook/Pro, remove the battery, disconnect the power, hold the Power Key for 15 seconds. Replace the battery, reconnect power, and zap the PRAM and wait for 2 chimes before letting the keys go. Let boot as usual.

When USB hub is connected Sat P30 doesnt boot up

I recently purchased a Toshiba P30, in the USB port I connected an USB 2.0 HUB.
This to connect, printer, scanner, external harddisk etc., etc.
When the USB HUB is pluged in the USB port, the computer will not start up.
I must first disconnect the Hub before I can push the on/off button.
Can somebody help me and tell me what I must do to be able to start the computer
with the USB HUB attached to the notebook.
Manny thanks
Jos

Hello Jos
It is really not easy to say what the problem can be but in my opinion it is definitely because of HUB. You will not believe me but my colleague has Satellite P10 and two USB HUBs are connected to his unit and there is no problem at all. I dont know which one you have but if there is any possibility try to test it with other one.
Bye
