Configuring OSPF in a Nonbroadcast Environment
This section illustrates the configuration commands needed for implementing OSPF in a nonbroadcast environment. Interfaces default to the NBMA OSPF network type in a nonbroadcast environment. To change this, apply the ip ospf network command on the interface, as follows: Router(config-if)#ip ospf network {broadcast | non-broadcast | {point-to-multipoint [non-broadcast]}} For example, to change the OSPF network type to point-to-multipoint the command would be ip ..
CB Policing is enabled for packets either entering or exiting an interface, or those entering or exiting a subinterface. It monitors, or meters, the bit rate of the combined packets; when a packet pushes the metered rate past the configured policing rate, the policer takes action against that packet.The most aggressive action is to discard the packet. Alternately, the policer can simply re-mark a field in the packet. This second option allows the packets through, but if cong..
The initial Layer 3 switching engine for the Catalyst 6000 family consisted of the Multi-layer Switch Model (MSM). Based on Catalyst 8510 technology, the MSM provides a router-on-a-stick configuration integrated into the Catalyst 6000 chassis. Therefore, the MSM brings the power of the 8510 to the Catalyst 6000 family (namely IP and IPX routing at approximately 5 million packets per second [mpps]). Note The MSM contains a faster CPU that is currently used in the 8510. From..
Extensible Authentication Protocol, Protected EAP, and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) enables the dynamic selection of the authentication mechanism at authentication time based on information transmitted in the Access-Request (that is, via RADIUS). PPP also supports EAP during the link establishment phase. EAP allows the authenticator to request more information before determining the specific authentication mechanism. A proposal jointly submitted to the IEEE by Cisco Systems, Microsoft, and various other organization..
Using Custom Queues with Priority Queues
You can split the queues so that some use Priority Queuing and the remainder Custom Queuing: Router#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#access-list 101 permit ip any any precedence 7 Router(config)#access-list 102 permit ip any any precedence 6 Router(config)#access-list 103 permit ip any any precedence 5 Router(config)#access-list 104 permit ip any any precedence 4 Router(config)#access-list 105 permit ip an..
