Routing priority question

Hello guys,
I have 2 lines below on my Cisco router, I just wanted to confirmthat i understand it right.
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.1.5 10
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.2.5 20
if my traffic hit this router then its outbound next hop would be 10.10.2.5 as that route has higher priority '20'?
Thanks.

Based on the lower AD, the route 10.10.1.5 would be preferred over the other one right?
I'm current using ospf for routing protocol and trying understand how the ospf works. I've looked at the router config last few minutes and realized, we're using ospf and also static route, here is the configure:
interface g0/0
ip address 10.10.1.6 255.255.255.0
interface g0/1
ip address 10.10.2.6 255.255.255.0
router ospf 1
router-id 172.20.1.2
network 10.10.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 10.10.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 172.20.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.1.5 10
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.2.5 20
I know you mentioned the AD but why do i need static route 'ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.1.5 10' and 'ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.2.5 20 ' as I already have dynamic route ospf?
Thanks,

RV042 set route priority

We are using two RV042s at site with a remote office, and each has a normal internet connection on WAN1. The remote site also has a dedicated wireless link to the Main site so those users can access the server, but the RV042 is routing normal outbound traffic over BOTH WANs instead of just WAN1 (Load Balance).
How does one set WAN1 as the prinary outbound link? Dual Wan only has "Load Balance" and "Smart Link", .. and there appears to be no way to set the route priority.
Thanks1
Lee

L.V,
Use Protocol Binding to bind outbound traffic to one WAN port or the other. As an example you can bind all http traffic to WAN 1 so anyone browsing the web will connect over that WAN port only. If WAN 1 goes down, then the traffic will route to WAN 2.

SMTP route priority

Hi,
I've a general question about SMTP routes. Suppose, that I've 3 SMTP routes
- Domain foo.bar, configured via Network->SMTP routes
- Domain *.foo.bar, configured via Network->SMTP routes
- Domain foo.bar, configured via LDAP routing query
Which one has the highest priority?
Thanks,
Axel

LDAP routing has priority over static SMTP routes except in the instance where you have defined the ALL: route which then overrides LDAP.

Cisco ASA 5505 VPN Routing/Networking Question

I have a very basic question about Cisco ASA 5505 IPsec Site to Site VPNs. I want to install a Cisco ASA 5505 at a Data Center, in a LAN subnet that utilizes publicly routable IP addresses. I would like to install a second Cisco ASA 5505 in a remote branch office as its peer.
Regardless of whether I use publicly routable IPs at the branch office in the "inside" network or non-routable IPs, how would the devices and servers at the Data Center know to route IP packets destined for the branch office back through the Cisco ASA instead of through the default gateway at the Data Center? I can see accomplishing this if every single device at the Data Center is configured with routing table entries, but that isn't feasible. It also isn't feasible to use the Cisco ASA 5505 as the default gateway for all of the devices as the Data Center, allowing it to decide where the traffic should go.
What am I missing? Is the solution to try to map branch office IPs to IP addresses within the Data Center's LAN subnet so that all of the traffic is on the same subnet?

You can do it in several different ways.
One way is to tell the server that if it has traffic to network x then it needs to go to the ASA all other traffic is to head for the default gateway.
In windows this is done via the route command
do not forget to make it "persistent" otherwise the route will disapear when your reboot the server.
in unix/linux
It is also the route command
Or you can tell your "default gateway" to route that network to the ASA
Good luck

Wireless Router WAN Question

I currently have a WRT600N wireless router. This router allows me to release the WAN IP and get a new IP. It may rotate through what ever my service provider is offering but it is always different at least 4 times in a row. I have another cable connection upstairs and a different type of router. This router does not get a new IP when I do a ipconfig /release, instead, it will get the same ip back all day long.
I put the WRT600N on the upstairs cable modem and got the results I expected based on what I saw downstairs. So my question is, If I am looking for a new router for the upstairs connection, what spefically would I be looking for that allows the router to get a new IP everytime I disconnect and reconnect. I am looking for an alternative to the WRT600N or a location to purchase the WRT600N.
Again, I am talking about the WAN port, not the LAN port. I know that some service providers lock the IP down by MAC, but that is not the case in my situation.
Thanks in Advance,
Brandon

OK, one more time, in better english. I have a computer and a WRT600N on on cable modem. And I have a computer and a WRT54G on another cable modem. When I access the http server of the WRT600N via a web browser and release the WAN interface IP, and then renew it, I get a new IP address. I can do this over and over and I get a new IP everytime.
From the other computer, I access the http server of the WRT54G via a web browser and release the WAN interface IP, and then renew it, I get the same IP address. I can do this over and over and I get the same IP everytime.
When I move the WRT600N to the upstairs cable modem, I get a different IP everytime I release and renew the IP address (Via the web interface of the router).
So I know that it is some capability of this particular router. The cable modem accounts are from the same company. So my question was, "What is it in this particular router that allows the WAN interface to get a new IP everytime it release and renews?".
I know how DHCP works, and how ISP can sometimes lock an IP to a MAC address for a period of hours, or indefinetly. However, that is not the case in my situation. If you do not know what allows this particular router to get a new and different IP each time it connects that is ok.
I can not make this any clearer.
Thanks,
Brandon

Route distinguisher question

Hi,
I need to clear some concept regarding rd, i had a topology from one of the COD in which instructor connects 2 CE sites to each other using VPN_A but at one PE the configured RD was different and at another PE RD was different. The thing which connected both the CE sites was the same import/export RT.
Previously i knew that RD should be unique per customer then y did the instructor configured different RD for the same VPN. i.e VPN_A.
Next question is that is the Vrf name i.e VPN_A in this case locally significant on the router?

Hi,
RD is used for the sake of address space overlapping (by constructing unique VPNv4 routes; in the RD:IPv4 format) and also as a VRF identifier (on the PE and the RR the VRF is identified by the RD, accordingly the RD is a mandatory attribute for the VRF configuration), and it is only significant on the PEs and RRs if exists.
Accordingly, the RD for a certain VRF needs not be the same allover the MPLS domain, RT will be used to import and export prefixes between VRFs on different PEs, lets discuss how it really happens in order for you to be able to connect the pieces together; MP-BGP exchanges the VPNv4 (RD:IPv4) prefixes between the PEs (P routers are not VPNv4 aware) not IPv4 routes - When a PE receives a VPNv4 route it discards the RD attached to it and attaches its local RD (according to the VRF that the route is going to be injected into according to the attached RT and the local VRFs import RT) - Since for the local router routing table database the VRF is identified via the RD prepended to the IPv4 route to construct the VPNv4 routes.
With the same logic the VRF name is locally significant to the PE (it maps to a RD on the local PE, while having no significance on a RR, the RR only understands RDs), it is introduced to make things user friendly, rather than using the RD solely to identifying the VRF when doing configurations and with show commands - Most commonly the same VRF name is used on all PEs (with each PE having its own RD for this VRF in the format IP:number, where IP is the PE loopback and the number is a locally unique number).
I hope that i've been informative.
BR,

Wireless Router/Networking question

Could post this in any number of forums here as my computer inventory includes a MDD with wireless card and a Sawtooth connected direct to the ethernet hub which in turn is connected to my Qwest DSL wireless router. Have a couple others wired in as well a cube and a FP iMac 800 (one of the originals). And now my first laptop ... MBP 2.4Ghz.
Anyway, the question is this .... Can I replace the Qwest DSL router with one that provides 'n' wireless speed so the MBP can benefit from it? If so, any recommendations for a router?
Just another sentence about my set up ... The router is wired/wireless. Computers without wireless connect via ethernet, computers with wireless connect wirelessly (of course - duh).
Thank you

Yes, you can do that. The n wireless router will have to run in mixed g/n mode, which will reduce the actual speeds attained on the MBP (lower than an n-only network, but the reduction will not be to g-wireless speeds).
Having stated that, keep in mind that unless you are running local wireless file transfers (think backing up to Time Capsule here), there's no need for n-wireless. In other words, a home wireless network is not the bottleneck for internet access, it's your ISP.
Verizon just announced 50 mbps with their FIOS service (with a hefty premium cost), and that's the fastest available home internet connection, and it's still slower than even 802.11g (54 mbps). Typical home internet connections are in the 1-10 mbps range, and so even an 802.11b network is faster.
Hope this helps...

How to create priority questions

I have 15 questions in a form where the priority should be between 1 to 15.
So if Q1 I pick priority 1, Q2 would have to show (2 to 15). if I pick priority of 15 for Q2 then Q3 would have the options of 2 to 14 and so on ....
In other words each question would have to belong to one of the priorities exclusively.
Survey Monkey has this feature. How do we implement this in formscentral?

The incident will be created with the default values. After the incident is created the workflow will be triggered (based on the criteria defined in the workflow) and applies the new template. There is a short delay between the incident is created and the
workflow is triggered and template is applied. It could be around a 60-90 seconds delay.
At least this way it works if everything is configured right.

Route plan question

We have two offices that will be consolidated in to one office within the same city. The existing offices are in the same area code. The new office will be in a different area code. According to ATT, the DIDs cannot be ported to the new office.
Each office has its own Route Plan (in Call Manager) and voice gateway.
For the new office, we will be installing a single Cisco 2851 for the VG/PRI and a Cisco 2951 for the data network (via MPLS). We want the network and telecommunications ready before staff move in to the new office.
My question is, can we or should we re-configure the existing route plans to reflect the new circuit/DIDs? Should we create a new route plan? What would be the best course of action for this move?
I don't have a lot of experience with route plans and VG setups so we plan on engaging a contractor for this project.
Any comment or suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey Richard,
Personally, I would create another dialplan and then use the bat tool to move the phones from one dialplan to another as the changes are made. If you're not experienced with doing this, I would concur with your decision to hire outside help to do this.
On another note, you could easily use a single 2951 for both the voice gateway and the mpls router. These isrs are made to serve double duty.

Rick

WiFi router location question.

When you move your wifi router and it shows the old address how does it learn the new address. Can you speed up the process or does it just take time ?
See also a similar question to help another person. Thank you. Happy New Year.
Hi, I have recently moved home and changed my details in my Apple ID but when using find friends or the maps app I am still located at my previous address, can you help ?

If you have the WiFi-only iPad (which does not have GPS) your location is determined by the mapped location of nearby WiFi routers.
Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured.
The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing routers and then adding/updating the router's locations into the database. Apple does not provide an user-accessible interface to manually update the database.
Note that to be used for location determination, a device does not need to be actually connected to a router, it just has to see the router. More precise location determination can be done if several nearby routers can be seen. When a router is moved from one location to another erroneous locations can sometimes be reported until the router's location is corrected in Apple's database.

Router security question

Hi,
I have recently connected a Linksys router (WRT54GC) via ethernet cables between my cable modem and my iMac C2D.
Also, I connected an iMac G3 (upstairs) to that router via ethernet wall-plug adapters.
Basically, this wireless router is being used as a wired router or ethernet hub.
I did not configure the iMacs or the router. I just plugged everything into the appropriate ports and it works. I have NOT tried to connect wirelessly, nor is AirPort turned on in my iMac C2D.
My question is: am I still vulnerable to someone connecting to my computers wirelessly through the Linksys? Should I configure the router for security protection?
I'm afraid to touch anything because it actually works!
Any advice on this matter would be appreciated.
Phillip

If you've set up the router with a decent password and turned-off SSID broadcasts, then it's unlikely someone will be able to access your network via the wireless access.
However, if it's running with an out-of-the-box config, then it's a possibility.

Router/PVST question...

Using NetLabs (from NetAcademy) I hav3 a 2621 Fa0/0 hooked up to a virtual PC using VMware. When I ran a packet sniffer on the virtual pc (troubleshooting a different problem) I saw some PVST+ packets ... the only cable/NIC on this PC is coming from the FA0/0 of the router...my question is why would I be seeing spanning tree packets from from a router?
The config on the router is nothing fancy,
int fa0/0
ip address blah blah
dupl auto
speed auto
Thanks,
Jimmy

Hello Jimmy,
real world routers never generate PVST BPDUs, with special configurations (like L2TPV3) they can propagate them in some form of L2 transport over an IP network.
Routers can generate their own BPDUs but of type IEEE 802.1D when configured for Routing and Bridging (IRB).
My guess is that the system use a "switch object" to connect the three routers and the virtual PC to the same vlan (4 ports of a vlan) and it is this object that generates the PVST+ frames you see on the virtual PC port.
Hope to help
Giuseppe

First Time Router User Questions

This is my very first time owning and using a router, so I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
1. Can my router be plugged (with the lights flashing) at all times, or does it have to be un-plugged when not in use? (For fear of it overheating).
2. If I stay connected to a wireless port from my router at all times (on any given computer), does it eat up my bandwidth even if I am not surfing the internet?
Thank you if you reply to these somewhat silly questions. XD

Solved!
Go to Solution.

For a first time router owner your questions are perfectly normal. You dont have to turn off anything and the post about security is good advice. If your primary concern is bandwidth then you don' t want all your neighbors eating it up. As far as your LAN or Local Area Network you can leave that on as well with no bandwith issues. (Though with wireless you make run into some connectivity issues) Try not to confuse LAN with WAN. LAN = your network, WAN is you ISP a.k.a your bandwidth. Finally your WEP key (which is what I'm assuming you have to enter every time you disconnect) you can just leave that in and don't click on "disconnect" or you will be entering it everytime

Weird routing/subnet question

If you have the subnet 24.48.75.0/24 giving you a host range of 24.48.75.1 - 254 defined on an interface
and you then have a static route statement:
ip route 24.48.75.64 255.255.255.224 X.X.X.X
Have you effectively lost 2 addresses?
Meaning, even though it's just a static route, does 24.48.75.64 become a network number and 24.48.75.95 a broadcast, and consequently unusable as host addresses?
Thanks.
PS, I'm not looking for best practices type info, it's just hypothetical as I try to work out an possible issue...and wanted to know if my thinking was correct.

yes is helps immensely. thank you.
i was sort of leading somewhere as i have this very odd customer problem.
the router above (call it routerA) with the info i bolded, has a primary gig 0/3 address of :
ip address 70.11.120.2 255.255.255.248
and that route which sends it out Gig0/3:
ip route 70.11.120.64 255.255.255.192 GigabitEthernet0/3
Gig0/3 is connnected to Gig0/1 on this router (routerB):
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
ip address 70.11.120.4 255.255.255.248
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
ip address 70.11.120.153 255.255.255.252
interface GigabitEthernet0/3
ip address 70.11.120.185 255.255.255.252
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 70.11.120.5
ip route 70.11.120.172 255.255.255.252 70.11.120.142
ip route 70.11.123.0 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.134
ip route 70.11.123.8 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.138
ip route 70.11.123.16 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.142
ip route 70.11.123.24 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.146
ip route 70.11.123.40 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.154
ip route 70.11.123.48 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.158
ip route 70.11.123.64 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.166
ip route 70.11.123.72 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.170
ip route 70.11.123.96 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.186
ip route 70.11.123.104 255.255.255.248 70.11.120.182
From RouterB:
sh ip route 70.11.120.64 255.255.255.192
% Network not in table
So naturally uses the default route and sends it to 70.11.120.5.
My problem is 70.11.120.5 is a glbp ip address on RouterA.
So i guess my question becomes do i have a routing loop or am I not grasping a config issue with glbp?

Router E2000 question

Hi, I'm new to wireless internet and have a ?. I purchased a Wii setup and want to connect it to the router. I have tried many times to hook it up and keep getting a no go.My son set the router up with his laptop and now he has gone back to collage. My computer hasn't got the software loaded on it for the router. If i put the cd in my computer it asks for password and such, son says he didn't put one in, but still can't get by that screen. We have three other computers hooked to the router now. If i go and reset the router what happens? Do i have to reset all computers to work off the router both Main and guest. Any help will be appreciated.

You can find the E2000 manual here:
http://home.cisco.com/assets/presskit/userguides/e2000_ug.pdf
This question is better asked on the Linksys forums at http://homecommunity.cisco.com/
How did he set up the 3 PCs? If he used the Easy Setup Key method, he would have never set a password. However, the Wii does not support the Easy Setup Key method.
I see you have two networks, Main, and Guest. Do the 3 other PCs use Main? Since the Wii uses Internet access only, it would be OK to have it use "Guest" Just see what the password is for the Guest in the "Guest access settings" screen of the router. See the manual to see how to get to that screen.
You can configure the router without the CD by using a web browser on one of the attached PCs. You would type "192.168.1.1" into the browser "address bar" on any attached PC and log in with username admin and password admin, if those passwords were not changed.
