This blog was originally started to better help me understand the technologies in the CCIE R&S blueprint; after completing the R&S track I have decided to transition the blog into a technology blog.

CCIE #29033

This blog will continue to include questions, troubleshooting scenarios, and references to existing and new technologies but will grow to include a variety of different platforms and technologies. Currently I have created over 185 questions/answers in regards to the CCIE R&S track!! Note: answers are in the comment field or within "Read More" section.

Quick Notes - Prefix-List Matching Class A,B,C

Prefix lists can be used to match a complete address class

Class A = 1.0.0.0 – 126.255.255.255
Class B = 128.0.0.0 – 191.255.255.255
Class C = 192.0.0.0 – 223.255.255.255


The classes can be defined by the starting bits in the first octet


Class A = 0
Class B = 10
Class C = 110



In order to match Class A, B, or C you need to perform the following:

Quick Notes - IRB - IEEE

BBBB must be able to connect to AAAA and vice versa. Layer2 must be used on hub and AAAA/BBBB must leverage layer 3 ports on the directly connected interface.

Quick Notes - Multicast Boundry

In order to ensure AutoRP and the administratively scoped multicast addresses do not leak outside or into your multicast domain you need to filter the following:

224.0.1.40 - The Cisco multicast router AUTO-RP-DISCOVERY address is the destination address for messages from the RP mapping agent to discover candidates
224.0.1.39 - The Cisco multicast router AUTO-RP-ANNOUNCE address is used by RP mapping agents to listen for candidate announcements
239.0.0.0/8 - Administratively Scoped

Quick Notes - MPLS and OSPF

You must enable MPLS but you cannot enable "mpls ip" on the interface. Current network is leveraging OSPF.

R1

interface Serial1/0
 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
interface Serial1/1
 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

router ospf 1
 mpls ldp sync (this ensures that MPLS waits for the IGP to be fully synchronized before issuing labels - not required for the configuration)
 mpls ldp autoconfig area 0 (this enables MPLS on all interfaces that are in area 0)
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0

R2

interface Serial1/0
 ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
interface Serial1/1
 ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.


router ospf 1
 mpls ldp sync
 mpls ldp autoconfig
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0
