MPLS Route Descriptor? What is it?
What is an MPLS Route Descriptor?
I'm trying to find a good definition of examples.
Thank you
Hi,
This book is one of the best MPLS books:
Cisco Press MPLS Fundamentals Nov 2006 by Luc De Ghein, CCIE No. 1897
You can also review the BGP/MPLS VPNs RFC:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2547.txt
And you can also review this document for briefing about configuring RD:

I just bought the airport extreme router to replace my older linksys g router because of a poor signal. Now that I have the new router running, I'm not seeing much improvement from the previous router! What gives?
I too recently bought the Extreme to replace an old Linksys G and discoverd that the range of the new Extreme was surprising less than the Linksys.
Nothing had changed otherwise; both routers were installed in the same place (on floor, under a cabinet in the middle of my house).
I returned the Airport Extreme to Amazon and bought another (the latest version), and the same problem exists, i.e., I can't get a signal at the corners of my small home with the Airport, where I once could with the Linksys.
I'm puzzled, but think that difference must be that the Linksys has 2 large external antennas and the Extreme's antennas are mounted internally.
I've also noticed that Apple sells a wall mount for the Airport Extreme and am assuming this is to get the Airport up and out into the open in order to improve its 'send and receive' characteristics, no?
If your Extreme is hidden in a cabinet or under some piece of furniture, I suggest you move it into the open and see if this helps extend its range.
Hope this helps.

I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?
Appreciate your assistance.The answer depends on whether the AirPort Extreme is your main router....or...the Linksys device is your main router.
In either case, the two devices must connect together using a wired Ethernet connection using CAT5e or CAT6 cabling.
Any version of the AirPort Extreme produced within the last 5 years will have Gigabit Ethernet ports. In order to get the same speeds from the Linksys router, it will also need to be Gigabit Ethernet capable.
If you need additional Ethernet ports, you will need to add a Gigabit Ethernet switch to either the AirPort Extreme or Linksys router.
It is assumed that your other devices connecting to the AirPort Extreme and Linksys router will also have Gigabit Ethernet capability.
Not sure why you mention "ac" speeds in your post. This relates to wireless connections, not wired. -
I have a wireless router for my house, and my I-phone can find the network and sign in but it won't show up in airport for my i -mac even when right beside the router. What can I do?
Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown? -
I am being told that "Back to Mac" isn't working because NAT Port Mapping is turned off on my router. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

Trying to clarify what these are: is airport extreme a router? What is airport express a router as well?

It was a long time ago. I remember wanting to connect my desktop mac via an ethernet cable, but the setup assistant was insisting on wireless. I think I finally took out the wireless card from my Mac so it would use the ethernet cable. Eventually I put the card back.
The zillion and one setting to wade through might mean more choices to the tech-heads, but I just wanted it to work.
I don't recall the type of router we had at my previous job, but I just plugged it in, went through a simple set up and forgot about it because it just sat there and worked.
I have had to go back to factory settings and start from scratch with my Extreme many times. The last time the amber light started blinking I just ignored it for months, because it didn't effect my internet connection, I just lost the ability to get iTunes over to the Express I have hooked up to my stereo.
BTW, what's a wall wart?

I can't join Wi Fi unless I am within 6 feet of router. What can I do I tried to take it out of case but no help. My I phone 5 works well.
Resetting Router and or updating its firmware helps.

Can i setup my network such that i placed a Cisco ASA firewall between my mpls router and cisco switch ?
| MPLS Router | ------------- | ASA Firewall | --------------- | Switch | ------------ | VLANs |Hi
As per your senario it look like en enterprise network. So you won't requrie MPLS lable Propagation in your internet network.
If possible can clear that weather you want to Propagate the MPLS Lable in you internet network or do you run MPLS in you routers & switchs or do you have only an MPLS Link from your SP.
And if you won't require MPLS lable Propagation or you have not configured MPLS in intenal network then you can configure ASA in routed mode & can use all feature that you requried.

Dynamic Routing Protocols - what do I really need to know?
Ok, ridiculously broad question I know but....what I'm trying to figure out is, let's say I'm in a large coproration and I have multiple field sites in different areas of the country so the network setup may be somewhat complex but when it comes to setting up the dynamic routing...is it as simple as let's say, configuring a router to use BGP for whatever portion you designate then just letting it be? is it somewhat challenging to initally configure dynamic routing protocols (i.e. how often have you found yourselves worrying about admin distance, areas (I don't even know what an "area" is yet either so if anyone could explain that I would appreciate it), etc..
So in short, are dynamic routing protocols "Set it and forget it" or do they require a ton of planning to setup? I'm familliar with the differences between them (i.e. OSPF, RIP, EIGRP,etc..) and the differences in link state and distance vector but I just wanted to ask about the setup of the protocols themselves.
Thanks!!You can exchange routes between protocols with redistribution.
The problem with the question is, as you say, it is too broad to really answer properly.
All routing protocols have different considerations so what you might do for EIGRP you may not do with OSPF and BGP is different altogether.
As a general answer if you are enabling it across a WAN all take a certain amout of planning and design and they all rely heavily on what you have done with your IP addressing in terms of summarisation etc.
The actual configurations to get a basic setup running are relatively simple, certainly for IGPs, but as your network grows you may find the configurations becoming more complex
BGP is a very different in that there are many different commands you can use to influence the path traffic takes but even here to setup a very basic BGP peering only requires a few commands.
But no routing protocol in a large environment should just be configured with no thought as to how it is going to work, traffic paths, number of routes etc.
You can do it but you may well find as your network grows you will end up having to revisit the whole thing because it is not working as you intended.
Like I say it's too large a question to really answer because each routing protocol is different and may or may not meet the requirements of the network.
If there are more specific questions then please feel free to ask.

Well I recently purchased a linksys AC1900 for a better/faster connection with my internet. Sadly, I have been having issues with online gaming. I am attempting to play a blizzard game (Diablo 3) but its not letting my connect. I did a direct wired connection and it worked just perfect. However, I dont want to play in my garage...lol. Does anyone have any ideas what settings I should be using? It lets me connect to battlenet but when my character loads into the world I get disconnected. I tried opening ports, shutting off uPnP, and various other things. Is the the router or is it me? Someone please help!
I got confused with your response. If you are still having the same challenge, make sure you have enough speed to play any online game. You may also try to reboot your PC and the router. If the result is the same, check if the firmware is up to date. You may try to manually update it on the Linksys Smart WiFi page. Here's how. Once accomplished, reset, reboot, and reconfigure the router. I hope this helps!

Verizon sent me a 2nd Router. What shouls I be using?
I had fios tv for about a yesr and a half when I got internet added. My internet is working via the same router as my tv. However, I got a new router in the mail and directions for self installation. Was this a mistake? Should I use the new router? Should I use both?
You don't say what hardware revision the routers are.
Use the one that is the later hardware revision (rev. F, rev. I, etc).
You can find the hardware revision level on the service tag. -
MPLS - Routing info from the same BGP AS
Hi everyone,
I'm working on MPLS - (lab) and I was wondering how is it possible (or command) to pass traffic to and from the same AS? In my lab I have to specifiy "nei allow-as in" in order to see routes from routers in my AS. I have 5 routers in my lab - One in AS 777 mpls and the other four in AS 6500). Everything in AS 6500 has the bgp sub command neig "ip addy" allow-as in. This is the only way I can see routes advertised from neighbors.
Thanks in advance.Hi
Another (and I believe more used) possibility is to configure as-override on the PE towards CE
router bg MPLS-CORE
address-family ipv6 vrf test
neighbour x.x.x.x as-override
(syntax might be wrong)

Is it possible to configure PBR using route maps on the MPLS. We need to do add a different internet route based on extended access-list which will be different from the default route in the MPLS
Hi!
I am not sure about other devices but atleast on 6500/7600, PBR for mpls traffic is not supported in hardware. All the packets will be processed by the CPU and will spike the CPU utilization. So it is not recommended to use PBR for the ip-to-tag path.

How do i hook a wired router to a wired router and what should I buy?
I want to maintain a PC on a wired network near my cable modem and add a wireless accees point or router remotely to cover an area outdoors.
Application isn't fancy, just plain vanilla internet access. Ease of setup, reasonable cost, reliable connections and security are the goals.
What should I buy for each component and how do I set the network up?
Thank you!Instead of an Access Point you could also go for a strong N- draft router(like WRT310N, WRT320N. WRT350N, WRT400N) as you want to place a wireless device about 100' away to cover outside(all the above router's should give you more than 100' feet of range)...Also you will get additional 4 ethernet ports to connect 4 devices hardwired to the router...
You should connect your existing router from Ethernet port 1 to the new router on it's Internet Port...Access the new router's web interface and change it's LAN IP Address to 10.10.10.1 and Power cyle the new router, it should be configured... -
Recovey Procedure after "Reset of Router" is what?
On comcast cable
Have 3 wired Win XP Home version PC's & one wirelessly connected Visa Laptop connected to a Linksys WRT54G ver.6 router.Works great .Want to ADD a Win 7 laptop, but have "lost" router password .All units have Cisco Network Magic Pro 5.5 installed. If I elect to Reset the Router to Factory Default ...what is the procedure to bring everything back online..Try as I might I cannot find the recipe or procedure to get back online
OR how about ..what if I bought a new Linksys 160N ? Could I simply disconnect the old router & re install the new one without having to do anything manually. Just depend on the software to automatically confiure my network . And just be super careful to protect my paswords in the future ?I guess you are asking about the Network Key or the Security Key needed to connect the Wireless Network on the Wireless computer...If yes then,you can get the key by loging into the setup page of the router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...Under the Wireless tab,click on the Wireless security tab to get the password..
If the admin password is not working then,you need to reset the router and you need to configure all the settings again on the router as per the ISP settings...
If you are planning to replace the router then,again you have to configure the router as per the ISP settings..
