Flash Memory and RAM

Routers come with flash memory and RAM. The flash memory is used to store the operating system (Cisco IOS). The RAM is required to run Cisco IOS and its processes. The latest IOS images require that you have:

    At least 64MB flash and 192MB of RAM for the 1800 series.
    At least 128MB flash and 512MB of RAM for the 2800 series.

Make sure you check this before you buy your router. It's possible to upgrade this later but it's easier to buy a router that already has enough RAM and flash memory.

There's a difference between straight through and crossover cables. Modern switches and network cards support auto-sensing so it really doesn't matter what kind of cable you use. If you are going to connect your 2950  or 3550 switches to each other make sure you buy crossover cables since they don't support auto-sensing!
Autosensing means that the interface will figure out automatically if you connected a straight or crossover UTP cable.

There are some WAN (Wide Area Network) protocols that you will have to practice, these require serial interfaces and serial cables. It depends on your router model which interfaces and cables you will need. The picture below is a DB60 serial cable that can be used with the WIC 1-T serial interface:

Title: Re: CCNA Lab Kit IP Base vs IP Services image in Cisco routers
Post by: certforumz on September 12, 2019, 06:35:20 AM
IP Base Vs. IP Services image:

The IP base is for the Standard Multilayer Software Image (SMI) switches, and the IP services image is for the Enhanced Standard Multilayer Software Image (EMI) switches in Cisco IOS  Software Release 12.2(25)SEB and later.

For the Catalyst 3750 and 3560 switches, Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(25)SEA and earlier referred to the image that provides Layer 2+ (L2) features and basic Layer 3 routing as the Standard Multilayer Image (SMI). The image that provides full Layer 3 routing and advanced services was referred to as the EMI.

The inter VLAN routing feature is supported on both IP base or SMI and IP services or EMI image Layer 3 switches. For Layer 2-only switches, you require a Layer 3 routing device with any of the previous images.

The IP Base feature set includes advanced quality of service (QoS), rate limiting, access control lists (ACLs), and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) functions. Dynamic IP routing protocols (Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), BGPv4, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)) are available only on the IP services image.

The IP Services image provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, which includes advanced hardware-based IP unicast and IP Multicast routing. Support for IPv6 Layer 3 switching in hardware is also available with the addition of the Advanced IP Services license to either the IP Base or the IP Services images. Both the IP base Image and the IP services image allow for Layer 3 and Layer 4 lookups for QoS and security.

Hope to Help !!

Post by: certforumz on October 08, 2019, 07:47:28 AM
 Re: 3750G-TS-S vs 3750G-TS-E


3750G-TS-S is a switch with standard image which supports basic Layer3 features like RIP 1/2 and static routing only.

3750G-TS-E is a switch with enhanced image which supports ehanced layer 3 routing features like EIGRP,OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, Policy based routing.

Please see the differnce below:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5023/products_qanda_item09186a00801b0971.shtml


What is the difference between 3750g and 3750

As per your question,G means all ports are Gigabitport.

e: Cisco 3750-X vs Cisco 3750G

Differences between 3750G and 3750X:

The 3750G uses stackwise and 3750X uses stackwise+. With Stackwise, EVERY packet has to go across the stack ring even if the destination port is on the local switch. With Stackwise+, the switches can do local switching.

Also, if you mix STackwise and Stackwise+ capable switches in the same stack, the Stackwise+ switches will still be able to switch locally and the Stackwise switches must continue to operate the same way.

Here's a link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps5023/prod_white_paper09186a00801b096a.html


Cisco 3750 vs 3560


What is the difference between the Cisco 3750 and 3560?  What about the 3750E vs 3750X?  These question comes from clients time and time again.  Here are the answers you need.

The main difference is that the 3750 supports Cisco StackWise, i.e. creating one large virtual switch out of multiple chassis.  The 3560 has a "cluster" feature which while it sounds close, just means that you can control multiple switches from a single one.

Post by: certforumz on October 25, 2019, 10:54:55 AM
Its difficult to find the memory types used by various cisco routers and switches. Memory cards often fail in cisco routers. check this out:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/13438

Router

From my experiences, the following router model share the similar memory chip specification. Therefore, most of the time memory chip from one model is interchangeable with another.

1. DRAM

* 800 series prior to 850/870 series; SOHO 90 series; 1700 series; 2600XM series; 2650 & 2651 - 100 Pin DIMM, SDRAM, 125MHz/133MHz, Unbuffered, Non-parity, 8ns, 3.3V, 16Meg x 32

* 800 series: 870 series - (provided by bigsy ) 168 pin DIMM low-profile CL3 non-ECC PC 133, i.e. Kingston KVR133X64C3L/128 works (full specification is clickable here), modules that are not low profile will not fit in the case correctly

* 800 ISR series: 880 series - (provided by jmbronk , RuggeR ) 512MB PC2 4200 SODIMM, i.e. Samsung PC2-4200S-444-12-A and Samsung 512MB PC2-4200S-444-12-A3 work

* 2600 series (excluding XM models and the 2650, 2651, and 2691) - 100 Pin DIMM, EDO, 60ns

* All 1800 routers EXCEPT 1841 - 200 Pin SODIMM, SDRAM, 266MHz DDR, Non-ECC CL2.5 e.g. Kingston KVR266X64SC25/256

* 1841 - 144 Pin SODIMM, SDRAM, 133MHz, Non-ECC CL3 e.g. Kingston KVR133X64SC3/256

* 2811/21/51 - (provided by kamikatze from this post) ECC DDR266/333/400 DDR. Kingston do a 512MB upgrade - KCS-D2800/512

* 3825/45 - (provided by kamikatze ) DDR333 or higher with ECC and at least CL2.5 (@333MHz). Kingston do 256MB & 512MB upgrades - KCS-D3825/256 & KCS-D3825/512

Note from cramer
Cisco 3845: ECC, DDR333 (PC2700) ONLY
System only supports 166Mhz DDRs /PC3200 DIMMs

DRAM: Non ECC memory not supported !!
DRAM: DIMM0, invalid Module Data Width of 64
(non-ECC DIMMs)

DRAM: DIMM 0 width not supported - 4
DRAM: DIMM1 width not supported - 4
(1G DIMMs)

* 2900 - (provided by Brainbug and kamikatze from this post)

KVR667D2E5/2G
2GB 256M x 72-Bit DDR2-667
CL5 ECC 240-Pin DIMM

2. Flash

* 800, 820
* 2500; 2600 (2610, 2611, 2612, 2613, 2620, 2621, 2650, 2651); 3600; 4000 (4000/4000M, 4500/4500M, 4700/4700M)
* All 2600XM models

3. Compact Flash and USB Flash

Newer routers, (modular) switches, and firewalls that use Compact Flash instead of legacy Flash memory chips are able to share at least 16 MB size. With newer ROMMON version (upgradable), 32 MB size or larger are also interchangeable.

This category includes 1800, 2800, 3700, 3800, 2900, 3900, and ASR series (routers); Catalyst 4500, 6500 series (switches); ASA 1st Generations and X models (2nd Generations)

Title: Re: ASA 5505 NAT Configuration Guide
Post by: certforumz on January 14, 2020, 07:52:17 AM
****
https://www.practicalnetworking.net/stand-alone/cisco-asa-nat/

Part 1 – NAT Syntax

There are two sets of syntax available for configuring address translation on a Cisco ASA. These two methods are referred to as Auto NAT and Manual NAT. The syntax for both makes use of a construct known as an object. The configuration of objects involve the keywords real and mapped. In Part 1 of this article we will discuss all five of these terms.
Objects

An object is a construct which represents any single item in your network environment. Two types of objects can be configured:

    a network object — represents one IP address, or one IP Subnet, or one IP address range
    a service object — represents one set of a Protocol, Source Port, and/or Destination port

The idea is to configure and define an object, then reference that one item in your configuration by the object's name.
Network Objects

To configure a network object, first use the following syntax to create the object:

object network <Object Name>

Then define the content of the object as either a single IP Address, or a single IP Subnet, or a single IP Address range using either of the commands below:

  host <IP Address>

  subnet <Network ID> <Subnet Mask>

  range <Start IP Address> <End IP Address>

Below are examples of each of the three types of network objects:

To create a network object which represents your web server's IP address, you would use the following syntax:

object network WEB-SERVER
  host 172.16.30.15

To create a network object which represents your Inside network, you would use the following syntax:

object network INSIDE-NETWORK
  subnet 172.16.30.0 255.255.255.0

Lastly, to create a network object which represents a particular IP address range, you would use the following syntax. This will define a range that includes all five IP addresses in the inclusive range of 72.6.6.10 through 72.6.6.14.

object network PUBLIC-IPs
  range 72.6.6.10 72.6.6.14

Service Objects

To configure a service object, first use the following syntax to create the object:

object service <Object Name>

The content of the service object must include at least a protocol, and can also include a source port, destination port, or both. Here are examples of all four possibilities:

object service PROTOCOL
  service esp

object service PROT-DST
  service tcp destination eq 80

object service PROT-SRC   
  service tcp source gt 1023

object service PROT-SRC-DST
  service udp source eq 53 destination eq 53

The specific port number the object represents can be identified using certain operators – the example above uses eq and gt. Five different operators exists:
eq <Port#>    Port must be equal to <Port#>
gt <Port#>    Port must be greater than <Port#> (equal to <Port#> will not match)
lt <Port#>    Port must be lesser than <Port#> (equal to <Port#> will not match)
neq <Port#>    Port must be not equal to <Port#>
range <Start#> <End#>    Port must be in the inclusive range of <Start#> to <End#>
Viewing Objects

Two commands are available to view objects:

The show run object command lists the objects essentially as they were configured above:

asa98#  show run object
object service PROTOCOL
  service esp
object service PROT-DST
  service tcp destination eq www
object service PROT-SRC
  service tcp source gt 1023
object service PROT-SRC-DST
  service udp source eq domain destination eq domain
object network WEB-SERVER
  host 172.16.30.15   
object network INSIDE-NETWORK
  subnet 172.16.30.0 255.255.255.0
object network PUBLIC-IPs
  range 72.6.6.10 72.6.6.14

And the show run object in-line command displays the same as above, except every object definition will be on the same line as the object name:

asa98#  show run object in-line
object service PROTOCOL service esp
object service PROT-DST service tcp destination eq www
object service PROT-SRC service tcp source gt 1023
object service PROT-SRC-DST service udp source eq domain destination eq domain
object network WEB-SERVER host 172.16.30.15
object network INSIDE-NETWORK subnet 172.16.30.0 255.255.255.0
object network PUBLIC-IPs range 72.6.6.10 72.6.6.14

Using the in-line variant makes it much easier to "pipe include" and search for a specific object name and/or definition:

asa98#  show run object in-line | include WEB
object network WEB-SERVER host 172.16.30.15

If you had done the "pipe include" without the in-line option you just would have received the full name of the object, but not the object's definition.
