Hold-Queue & Hardware TX Ring: TX-Ring DEFAULT on 1841 (128) packets on a FastEthernet interface “tx-ring-limit X” verify with “sh controller fa 0/1 | in tx” FIFO Ingress queue is 75 packets by default and 40 packets on an 1841 FastEthernet interface “hold-queue X in|out” verify with “sh interface fa0/1 | in queue” Keep in mind that the software queue is only invoked when the hardware (TX-RING/FIFO) is full. CPU/packet spikes can tie up CPU cycles causing the router to use…
Preface: To clear old entries in the multicast table, use “clear ip mroute *”. This command usually will allow changes to be sync:ed, but not always. In the worst case scenario, you may have to reload the device. Modifications to a working multicast environment is not recommended if you cannot interrupt traffic forwarding. Be sure to schedule maintenance window in a REAL production environment. PIM: Signaling protocol that uses the unicast routing table to preform RPF checks. Dense mode: Flood to all multicast enabled interfaces and downstream routers prune…
MPLS: Autoconfig (enable LDP on all interfaces) only available when using OSPF as IGP. LDP send discovery packets via UDP to 224.0.0.2 (all routers) port 646. Route-ID is highest loopback but can be forced “mpls ldp route-id x.x.x.x force”. To use the physical connection of the interface (not the loopback due to lack of reachability) use this command on the interface. ” mpls ldp discovery transport-address interface”. Once communications is established, via TCP 646, authentication is verified (MD5 only). After peer is…
Not sure if anyone really cares, but I’m a huge NeoGeo fan/collector.. Today I found quite a surprise at a local gaming store. English version of SvC Chaos (SNK vs. Capcom) for the NeoGeo AES. Needless to say, I did not even hesitate for a second and bought it. It’s in pristine condition and I’ll probably spend the rest of the night obsessing on how beautiful the condition is. Enjoy these pics and Thank You Play N Trade! Game Data: …
