may be because you don't specify source ip of your ping and the cisco 
don't have the route of juniper loobpback?

: draft-vasseur-ccamp-te-router-info-00.txt clarification needed.

Hi,
 We have some confusion in understanding the Data
Plane Capability Flags (B-bit & E-bit) from
draft-vasseur-ccamp-te-router-info-00.txt

(a) Does E-bit ON implies B-bit ON always ? (assuming
ON = set and OFF = unset).
(b) E-bit = ON & B-bit = OFF, is it a valid
combination.
(c) Please tell us the E-bit and B-bit status for a
node which is a destination node but does not have
branch capability.

We are also curious to know
(1)The idea behind combing two things (egress status &
transit status) in a single E-bit. rather than making
use of B-bit(branch) and having E-bit just for egress
status.
(2) Why the TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV should
have E-bit & how it should be used in CSPF path
computation.

Thanks

: OSPF Retransmission

I'm running MPLS with Juniper on my network, and for my IGP I am using OSPF.  I'm having OSPF packet retransmission issues.  When I look at my syslog this is the error I get.
 
"Summary : OSPF packet, IsUpdate, has been retransmitted (LS Type=Unknown, LS ID=1.0.0.4, Router ID=*.*.255.41"
 
Has anyone seen this issue before, and if so do you happen to know the reason why?
 
Thank you.  I have tried everything. Juniper has told me that maybe my Firewall Policy is misconfigured, but I beg to differ.

: vendor mtu differences

Hi all,

 

While adding a Juniper router to a cisco based network I noticed something that looks strange to me.

We are running isis as the igp.

As far as I know isis requires the mtu to be equal on any adjacent routers. When adding the juniper isis adjacency wouldn’t come up. The cisco would show the adjacency in init state while the juniper wouldn’t show any adjacency.

When checking a little deeper I noticed that clns/iso mtu of the routers is different when both of them are configured with the same L2 mtu. The solution by the way was to increase the mtu in the juniper side so iso/clns mtu would be the same.

My question is: what is the implementation difference between those vendors that causes this?

 

Thanks

Amos

: Multiple VRF's

 

Can someone tell me if the Cisco 1721 supports Multiple VRF’s, if it is an IOS function only, and if there is a Cisco Cross-Reference list of MPLS-Supported products?

: CE-CE MTU Problem ...

Hi,

after getting just about all the problems worked out (both MPLS 
connection related and not) and our customer up an running, a new 
problem came up ... while all "regular" connection going through the DSL 
dial up router work fine, the MPLS VPN connection of the customer has 
problems with the MTU (I suspect) - while normal telnet/terminal 
sessions work fine inside their MPLS VPN, ftp transfers don't ... 
problem is I can't get a tcpdump from the FTP site (AS400?), so I can't 
really pinpoint what is happening at the moment ... basic config is: all 
Cisco routers, MTU 1456 on the DSL link (changed down from 1480 
originally used), MTU 1500 on the ethernet on either side of the CE 
routers, minimum MTU 1500 on the backbone w/ an mpls mtu of 1520 w/ ip 
tcp adjust-mss 1416 (which is messed up to 1432 by MPLS)

Any ideas?

Tnx, -gg

RE: : CE-CE MTU Problem ...


Hi,

Try changing the MTU to 1526 on all L2 devices within the network and 

Change the MTU (tag-switching mtu 1526) on all routers.

Regards,

MK

Can`t do, the ethernet ports on my Ciscos don`t allow anything larger 
than 1500 ... (been there before) ...

Re: : CE-CE MTU Problem ...

Addendum: I put ip tcp adjust-mss 1300 on the customer router - the 
destination CE router shows incoming packets of size 1340 (which is 
correct) - therefore I think I shoudl be able to rule out an actual MTU 
problem ...

The FTP transfer now looks like this - I get the connection, the 
transfer starts with a couple dozen of packets being transfered, then I 
get nothing for a minute or so, upon which the transfer continues for 
another batch of packets, then freezes, etc ... I've known this behavior 
from MTU problems before, but with a packet size of 1340 this shouldn't 
be the cause ...

Could there be another problem involved? Behind the CE router, our 
customer has a Checkpoint FW (IIRC), could it be a reassemble problem?

Any ideas?

Tnx, -garry
