He asked about PIM, RP and so on but the answer is... &ldquo;nothing&rdquo;!


...Inside a VLAN the multicast is part of the usual L2 traffic, the only difference is the MAC address.


The multicast source sends its traffic to a particular MAC address:


An IP host group address is mapped to an Ethernet multicast address


   by placing the low-order 23-bits of the IP address into the low-order


   23 bits of the Ethernet multicast address 01-00-5E-00-00-00 (hex).


...The hosts that want to receive the multicast traffic just have to listen for this MAC address.


Only if sender and receivers are on different subnets we need PIM.


Note: since MAC address is defined, there&rsquo;ll be no ARP queries.

We need to enable rsh on the router, specifying ip address and username of the host sending commands.   A local username is also needed, it can be the same as the hostname or different:


...R(config)#ip rcmd remote-host ROUTER 10.0.0.100 ifconfig enable


...&ldquo;ifconfig&rdquo; is the username to be used on the host connecting


...Now let&rsquo;s open a terminal window on OSX and send some commands to the router:


iMac:~ ifconfig$ rsh -l ROUTER 10.0.0.254  sh clock


...038709: Nov 23 16:33:38.104 ROME: RCMD: [514 <- 10.0.0.100:951] recv 950\0

...Task: since R2 interface s0/1 is receiving lot of traffic, OER should influence AS200 to use s0/0.


...To make the traffic simulation faster and easier, both serial interfaces of R2 apply the command &ldquo;load-interval 30&rdquo; and on s0/1 &ldquo;band 1&rdquo;.


...All traffic from R4 in AS200 to 1.1.1.1 comes from interface s0/1 on R2. 


...Load on that interface gets high so the prefix goes to a holddown state:


...OER prepends a prefix towards R4 to make AS200 prefer path through R2 s0/0:


...*>i1.1.1.1/32       3.3.3.3                  0    100      0 100 i


...Now all traffic from R4 in AS200 to prefix 1.1.1.1 comes from R2 s0/0, passing through R3.


...We expect to see prefix 1.1.1.1 with R2 intf s0/0 go OOP and OER stop prepending as path towards R4. 

...There&rsquo;s no need to OER to do anything since all traffic from AS200 arrives from R2 s0/1 because of BGp routing decision.

...One kind of tunnel is missing on the posts: IPV4-compatible tunnels, maybe because it&rsquo;s deprecated but since it&rsquo;s on the blueprint I&rsquo;ll lab it.


The topology I use is the one of IPX blog since its ready on GNS3, check the blog for details.


...In this document LINK is specified that only BGP or static routing can be used between tunnel ends, let&rsquo;s use BGP:

I've decided to start from my weakest points: Multicast, IPv6 and QoS.


Multicast is the first, the plan is:


	◆	IE Written CoD (6 videos on Module 7) and IPX VoD (3 videos on day 4 with exercices)


	◆	IE AdvTech CoD (Day 9 parts 5-6)


	◆	IPX WB1 labs 23,24


I leave the deepest practice after passing the written exam, now I'd like to build a strong theory base.


Like someone much more expert than me said: "plan your work, work your plan".

&ldquo;What is your purpose to take CCIE?   Who cares about the number if we want to take CCIE to learn the technology covered in the lab in a structured way?   If someone wants to take CCIE because he wants to ensure he has a solid foundation of the networking knowledge that he needs to work in the real life, why bother with the number?   And you will see in my later point, it's not the number that matters.   It's the experience, it's what you have done, it's the reputation, that matter.&rdquo;

...	Cisco engineering units are the emerging measure of global power.


	by Robert Cringely


&ldquo; My friend George Morton, who figured this all out, says that by knowing the right numbers to look at we can have a good idea what countries will be leading in technology &mdash; and presumably in economic development and power &mdash; in the years ahead.   The measure George likes is the number of Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts or CCIEs.


The CCIE is Cisco&rsquo;s top certification category and VERY hard to earn.   Being a CCIE doesn&rsquo;t mean you have Len Bozack on speed dial, but it might as well.   Cisco products dominate the Internet and CCIEs are Cisco gurus, so if you are serious about the Internet as a nation you&rsquo;ll have CCIEs hanging about, or that&rsquo;s the theory.   Conversely, if you just talk a good game as a country with technological aspirations, maybe you won&rsquo;t have many CCIEs at all &mdash; maybe none.   It&rsquo;s one way to determine who the posers are.&rdquo;]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>CCIE Written Study Tips by Jeff Rensink</title><dc:creator>user@domain.com</dc:creator><category>written</category><dc:date>2009-02-22T15:05:23+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.ifconfig.it/ccie_blog/files/5b4301b4902e06dc034f80badabee252-13.php#unique-entry-id-13</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ifconfig.it/ccie_blog/files/5b4301b4902e06dc034f80badabee252-13.php#unique-entry-id-13</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Useful tips for preparing the CCIE written exam, I&rsquo;m working on it!

The best advice for study from cciepursuit blog, he did&rsquo;t pass but the first time is very hard:


2) Question interpretation.    This was the big one.    A majority of the questions would not come out and tell you what technology to use, but would rather use a description of that technology.    Sometimes these descriptions were either foreign to me or they concentrated on a minor feature of said technology.    This threw me.    Sometimes I could mine the documentation using some of the keywords to figure out what the technology was, but there were a couple of descriptions that just did not make sense to me.

No accurate timeline, no deadline, no hurry.   This blog is just a way to keep track of my progress, the material I use and anything else related to Cisco CCIE R&S Certification.


Two key points:.   First: I&rsquo;ll write this section in eglish, all the personal or non-CCIE post will be added in the homepage.   Second: this blog is intended to be for personal use but I hope It will help others.   Any contributor is well accepted, I&rsquo;m a collaborative person. 


Soon I&rsquo;ll insert a post with all the others CCIE blog of people more motivated and prepared than I am.   I read those blogs daily and I think they&rsquo;re a great inspiration.   I&rsquo;ve found in those blogs lot of good advices about study method, material and clear explanation of hard techical aspects.
