Study Questions

Why would anyone develop a version of RIP that supports IPv6?

I have no idea. Boredom, maybe. Whatever the case, it works just like RIPv2, which is pretty scary.

In EIGRP for IPv4, there are several requirements for two routers to neighbor up. Which of those is not true for EIGRP for IPv6?

The two routers don’t need to be in the same subnet. The concept of the link local address takes care of that need since neighbors always share a common medium like an Ethernet segment or a serial link.

An Interesting Problem with Multiple DCs on a Stick

We talked about running multiple data centers on a stick back in August, which is where you have multiple logical pairs of client and server VLANs on a single CSM for different tiers or functions. The big point of the article was that you had to do some fancy forwarding to get a server-initiated connection from one server VLAN to appear out the appropriate client VLAN. Well, we ran into an interesting issue with the given solution.

ACLs and HSRP, BGP, OSPF, VRRP, GLBP...

Here’s a handy list of ACL entries to allow your devices to speak routing protocols, availability protocols, and some other stuff. We’ll assume you have ACL 101 applied to your Ethernet inbound; your Ethernet has an IP of 192.168.0.1.

BGP : Runs on TCP/179 between the neighbors

access-list 101 permit tcp any host 192.168.0.1 eq 179

EIGRP : Runs on its own protocol number from the source interface IP to the multicast address of 224.0.0.10

access-list 101 permit eigrp any host 224.0.0.10
