L3 mpls network with out P router, all PE to PE plus daisy chainging

Guys, is it possible to run a core l3 MPLS network over 7600s and 3800s with out any P routers? The reason i aak is because of the particular situation where we will have to daisy chain PE routers due to lack of fiber.
any thoughts?

As martin says absolutley limited problems with this it will work a charm UNTIL yo urun into scaling issues. You are daisy chaining all the PEs which would also suggest to me that you are daisy chaining your RRs. In an mpls network the RR's have enough state to handle to keep them busy enough without also having to deal with passing labels about the network. Also you will have any cisco account team breaking down your door putting the fear of god into you for not having at least 2 P routers ;-). So yes you can indeed run it like you say but the lifetime of your network will be very limited indeed. If your not an SP then dont be concerned - unless you are an enterprise with 10000000s routes then id start to worry. Oh they (cisco) also state that PEs also have enough to do in their life without passing labelled packets about the place. sit and think about what your poor PE is having to do daily it could be 100 vrfs routing tables, which in turn means layer 3 lookups to find out where the packet has to go, qos, multicast, bgp, ospf, rip, eigrp, your own internal IGP, TE tunnels, RSVP - this poor router has enough to do without also adding transit traffic. ;-)

  • 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.

  • Networking with the M1424wr router

    I just relocated my home office to another room and want to reconnect an old PC so that I can access the files (and programs?). 
    In the office previous location, I just had the old PC connected to this same router via CAT5 and the PC showed up in My Network Places etc so that I could access the files.  When the tech came and relocated my system and rewired we did not test the connection to this older computer and now I can't get it to show up even though it is connected to the router directly. In addition, I would like to be able to see files on a third computer that is also CAT5'd to this router and find out if I can network a Toshiba backup drive that is now connected to PC1 via USB.
    Some basic info:  Let's call main computer PC1, my husband's computer PC2 (I would like to access files back and forth on these two actively used computers), and the old computer PC3 (no monitor or keyboard connected).  PCs 1 and 3 running XP, PC 2 running W2000, I think.  Also have Norton 360 on PC1 but don't find the configuration user friendly.  Have been told by FIOS reps that this is not their problem -- should have had the tech check this out when he moved the system! 
    Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest tha you go into all the machines and delete any saved items in network places. Then run ipconfig and ensure that all the machines are showing ip addresses in subnet 192.168.1.x Then wait a few hours with all the machines switched on and they should appear in browse mode in add a network place. Alternatively After having cleared all the old network places stuff run ipconfig /all on one of the machines and note the dns server ip addresses. Then go and allocate fixed ip addresses to each of the machines and add add the dns server addresses also. Then go into network places and add a network place and type \\the.ip.address.of a machine and hit browse select the shared file info you want and give it the credentials and all should be ok let me know if that helps.

  • Extending a extreme network with older Apple router

    Hi all
    I need to extend my airport extreme A1134 network with an older aiport router A1304 UFO kind.
    1st is this compatible with 10.85?
    2nd how do i get the airport utility to see the older one...its booted but i cant see it
    3rd how do i chain it?
    4th i need to connect a internet company remote phone to one of the ethernet ports of the older modem-which one do i use?

    I need to extend my airport extreme A1134 network with an older aiport router A1304 UFO kind.
    Unfortuntately, the older AirPort Extreme does not have a feature to "extend a wireless network", so it cannot extend the network of the newer AirPort Extreme wirelessly.....if that is your goal.
    1st is this compatible with 10.85?
    No, the older AirPort Extreme would need a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC for set up......even if it were compatible with the newer AirPort Extreme for the purpose that you ask about.
    Unfortunately, it's not....as mentioned above...IF....you are trying to connect using wireless between the two AirPort devices.

  • Laserwriter 8500 - networking with D-link router

    Hi,
    I've just changed my router to a D-link DI-524 and can't get my Laserwriter 8500 to work with it. It was fine with the Netgear Router I used to have.
    I'm running a MacBook with OS X 10.5.6, and the printer driver is v.3010.103.
    I tried some of the advice on other threads but when I go to Printer/Fax prefs and click 'Default', nothing shows up and the 'Add' Button is dimmed. Tried the IPP setting but didn't really know what I was doing.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Debbie
    PS this was the reason I bought this router, so that I could network the printer.

    That is a printer than can print as either an Appletalk printer or an LPR/LPD printer (also called an IP Printer). The easiest way to change printer parameters is with Apple printer Utility. If you do not have a Mac that can run Classic, you cannot run Apple Printer Utility, and may be stuck with Telnet to change printer parameters.
    To set it up as an Appletalk printer, you must turn on AppleTalk on your Mac, which is accomplished in:
    System Preferences > Network > (your active network interface) {Ethernet or Airport}
    (Turning Appletalk on for one interface may give you a message that you are turning AppleTalk off on a different Network Interface; not a problem.)
    Then you need to use Printer Setup and deliberately choose AppleTalk as the connection method -- I do not think default will suffice. (No AppleTalk Zones are involved.) If your printer is turned on, ready, and cabled in, it should appear within a quarter minute.
    Some Routers, especially less popular brands, may not support AppleTalk packets transmitted over wireless.
    That printer can also be set up as an IP Printer. To run it as an IP Printer, it must have an IP address in the same subnet as your current Router. \[Post back if you do not understand what that means.]
    The discussion referenced below has some information that may apply. The original Poster was trying to set up the printer as an IP Printer, then wanted to change to a different Router using a different Internet Service Provider:

  • Is it possible to extend an Airport Extreme Network with a normal router ?

    Hi everyone !
    I know this question as been asked a lot before, but not in this way, I always saw : How to connect an Airport Extreme/Express to a Normal (D-Link, Linksys, Ect.) Router. What I wan't to do is connect a normal router to my existing Airport Extreme to extend the range of it. I know you can extend the network with an Airport Express, the thing is, i wan't to try with the router I replaced by the Airport Extreme. It's an D-Link DIR-615. If someone know how to do this it will be very nice and helpfull for me! I know on Apple website it says that it's not possible but some people seems to get it to work!
    Thanks a lot !
    (Sorry for my bad english i'm french Canadien)

    You can extend the wireless range of the AirPort with a D-Link or the other way around ... BUT only if the connection between them is wired. This would be the basis of a roaming network. If you must have them interconnected by wireless, then it will NOT work.

  • Problem staying connected to my Wireless Network with my HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a

    I just bought a new HP wireless printer replacing my old HP wireless printer which the wireless part worked fine, but the printing died.
    New printer HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a. I have installed and re-installed the software and drivers but can't get my printer to stay connected to my laptop. I have a Linksys "WRT54GL router but have the printer set with a static IP address. When I run tests on the computer and printer everything says it is fine. But every 30 seconds or so.. my printer goes offline on my computer and is especially noticeable when I am using the HP Solution center because it will keep blinking in the windows bar. I have talked to 4 technicians but no one can figure out what the problem is. They keep saying that it is on my end, but the old printer which was also an HP (Wireless 6150) never had any problems and I have not changed anything in my routing. Is anyone else having this kind of problem and has found a successful solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    My computer is running Windows XP SP3
    Currently my router has WEP encryption, but I tried them all just to see if that had anything to do with it. (WEP works best for me since I have some devices which can only use WEP to communicate).
    Thanks.

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.18.1.100 to .149.  Let's use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Add Wireless N Router To Network With An Actiontec Router

    Hi everyone, I know this wireless N thing is being beaten to death but I just really need to be pointed in the right direction.  I recently built a HTPC setup with a SiliconDust HD Homerun network tuner so I could share three tuners with computers on my network.  I've got two PCs wired to the network right now which share them fine.  But the problem I'm running into is when I try to set up my laptop to watch something wirelessly, usually a game in HD.  The signal is very weak and I constantly lose the tuners because of that, not to mention the picture is very choppy.  I saw on a Microsoft Windows Media Center site that they don't recommend streaming HD TV feeds over anything other than a wireless N connection.  I currently have the standard Actiontec router that came with FiOS, and it doesn't the N band.  Now, that router accesses the internet signal through a coax so I know I can't get rid of it, but I've seen mentioned in a couple of places that you can just add a wireless N router into the network and turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router.  This is the router I was thinking of getting:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cisco+Linksys+-+E1200+Wireless-N+Router+with+4-Port+Ethernet+Switch/2225...
    My current network setup is like this: Actiontec router upstairs which carries internet to -> a gigabit switch connected to -> computer, tuners, and printer upstairs, with a line run to -> another gigabit switch downstairs which connects to -> a computer, and an XBox. 
    So a couple of questions about this:
    - Where would this go on the network?  Would it go after the router and before the switches, like I run the internet into the new router then out to the switch, or can I just add it to one of the switches?
    - Will I need to do any sort of port forwarding or anything, or assiging of IP addresses?
    - Anything else I should know or might run into?
    I love my FiOS service so hopefully this will help me get even more out of it!
    Solved!

    I wanted to upgrade to an N protocol wireless router but since Verizon doesn’t offer the option, I purchased a Netgear N600. Unfortunately, after it arrived, I discovered that it didn’t have a coax connection as did the Verizon Actiontec. I then set out to find out how to daisy chain the routers to leave the Actiontec connected to the coax and connect the two routers via Ethernet cable. To my good fortune, during the time I spent on the phone with Netgear, I learned my way around their router interface and with the help of a co-worker that actually has a solid understanding of router/network configuration, I finally got everything working correctly – my port forwarding for RDC login worked, I could connect devices to either router and everything could once again see each other (e.g. PC, printer via Ethernet, Blu-ray player for Netflix, receiver for streaming Windows Media Player). Hopefully, this post will help you get up and running quickly and avoid the several hours I spent groping in the dark for the correct configuration.
    Login to Verizon Actiontec router (type 192.168.1.1 into browser address bar).
    No configuration changes are necessary on the Actiontec, you just need to identify an open IP address range in My Network section (I chose 192.168.1.50). This will be used as your static IP address of the Netgear router LAN settings.
    Connect you PC via Ethernet cable directly into an Ethernet port (not WAN/Internet) on the Netgear router. No other connections are needed at this point.
    Note: Do not use the Netgear wizard CD to setup the router. It will not take you through the necessary steps as you’re not setting it up as a router.
    Login to the Netgear router (type routerlogin.net into the browser address bar) using the default login of “admin” and password “password”. Depending on your firmware version, your interface may vary but hopefully you’ll be able to find the same configuration options in either but perhaps not in the same order or placement. For subsequent logins after the router is active, you may need to type the Netgear IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.50) as routerlogin.net may open a search.
    At the top of the Netgear genie, click on the Advanced tab.
    On the left side, expand Setup, then select Internet Setup.
    Select “Get dynamically from ISP”, under Internet IP Address.
    Under Domain Name Server (DNS) Address, select “Use These DNS Servers”, and enter the IP Address of your Actiontec router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) in the Primary DNS” field.
    Next go down a few options  within Setup to Wireless Setup.
    In the Wireless Network 2.4GHz section, click Enable SSID broadcast.
    Enter a meaningful name in “Name (SSID)” as this is what will be displayed for your wireless connection.
    For Channel, select Auto.
    For Mode, select “Up to 300 Mbps”.
    Security Options, recommend WPK2-PSK[AES] for longer/stronger password options.
    Set the password of your choice.
    Repeat the same process for Wireless Network 5GHz, except vary the name slightly so you’ll be able to distinguish which band you’ll connect to. You can optionally use the same or different password as your 2.4GHz. The only exception is you’ll have to select a Channel of your choice.
    Next go down a couple more options within Setup to the LAN Setup.
    In the LAN TCP/IP Setup section, enter the IP Address you chose in step 2 (e.g. 192.168.1.50).
    Enter the IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    Leave the block for “Use Router as DHCP Server” blank as your IP assignment will be handled by your Actiontec router.
    You’re now finished with the configuration and you can connect the Actiontec router to the Netgear router using an Ethernet cable using the LAN ports (Note: do not connect the two routers using the WAN/Internet ports on either). You may connect your devices (PC, printers, A/V devices, etc.) to either router. If you have devices that are gigabit capable, you’ll want to connect them to the Netgear router to take advantage of the higher speed.
    To avoid any possible interference between the 2.4GHz range of the two routers, you can optionally turn off the Actiontec wireless capability by logging into the Actiontec router admin (described above), go to the My Router tab, and there should be an option for “Change Wireless Settings” in the Quick Links section. Option 1 allows you to turn On/Off the wireless portion of the router.

    Thanks

    You will be signed out as soon as you quit the browser, or within around 5-10 minutes of closing the window. The only way to stay signed in is to keep a window open all the time, either working in other tabs, or minimizing it and then going on with something else in a new window.

  • How can I put my music from my ipod to my computer with out losing it all

    I just got a new computer and I need to transerfer my music from my ipod to my new computer, but when i tried it almost deleted all my music. I'm not a technological person and I dont have anything to back my ipod up on if I lose all my music. Does anybody know how to do it with the new update??

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    It simply mirrors the selecte content of the computer to which it is synced. The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    I keep having my service shut down plus will not allow singing out all the way. is there any plans to fix this problem ? how soon will you fix this problem.
    you are way better than internet explored and they are not doing these things so why are you allowing these problems to keep going on?
    thank you for getting this fixed and back to normal A SAP.

    Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

  • Trying to establish a network with a Linksys router

    Okay.
    My family just recently bought a linksys Wrt54gs Linksys router. We are trying connect two laptops via airport card and a G3 iMac using an ethernet cable.
    I tried following instructions on http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/initiallinksyssetup.html>THIS site. This ins't intructions for the exact router or computer we have but I figured it should work. The first thing we tried to do was set it up on the iMac, which has proven to be a real pain.
    The instructions say to connect using DHCP and this is where our problems start. For a very long time we have been connecting using PPPoE. Our service provider was SBC. We can not connect using DHCP unless we disable PPPoE which means we can't connect at all.
    When we try to connect using DHCP, it simply states that the server is not available.
    Then I tried setting up the router using a browser. But it just wouldn't load and a message would come up saying it could not find the server.
    I tried turning everything off, turning on the modem, then the router, then the computer and it still didn't work!
    Please help!
