From: Question 19 Date: 27 July 1994 Subject: How do cisco routers rate performance-wise?

People often ask about performance of the cisco routers and are shyed away from answering their questions because we don't know where to send them. Scott Bradner keeps the results of his performance tests on the Internet. You can find them for ftp on the system hsdndev.harvard.edu in the /pub/ndtl. There is a README file in that directory that explains what is available.

comp.dcom.sys.cisco, which is gatewayed to the mailing list cisco@spot.colorado.edu, is a newsgroup for discussion of cisco hardware, software, and related issues. Remember that you can also consult with cisco technical support. This newsgroup is not an official cisco support channel, and should not be relied upon for answers, particularly answers from cisco Systems employees. Until recently, the mailing list was gatewayed into the newsgroup, one-way.

From: Question 9 Date: 26 July 1994 Subject: How can I use debugging?

The ''terminal monitor'' command directs your cisco to send debugging output to the current session. It's necessary to turn this on each time you telnet to your router to view debugging information. After that, you must specify the specific types of debugging you wish to turn on; please note that these stay on or off until changed, or until the router reboots, so remember to turn them off when you're done.

From: Question 3 Date: 31 October 1994 Subject: What does ''cisco'' stand for?

one point in time, the first letter in cisco Systems was a lowercase ''c''. At present, various factions within the company have adopted a capital ''C'', while fierce traditionalists (as well as some others) continue to use the lowercase variant, as does the cisco Systems logo. This FAQ has chosen to use the lowercase variant throughout. cisco is not C.I.S.C.O. but is short for San Francisco, so the story goes.

From: Question 4 Date: 31 October 1994 Subject: How do I save the configuration of a cisco?

If you have a tftp server available, you can create a file on the server for your router to write to, and then use the write network command. From a typical unix system: mytftpserver$ touch /var/spool/tftpboot/myconfig mytftpserver$ chmod a+w /var/spool/tftpboot/myconfig myrouter#write net Remote host [10.7.0.63]? 10.7.0.2 Name of configuration file to write [myrouter-confg]? myconfig Write file foobar on host 10.7.0.

From: Question 26 Date: 18 April 1995 Subject: Where can I get cisco documentation?

Cisco no longer distributes printed documentation with their routers; instead, they distribute a CDROM. Paper documentation may be purchased, however if you purchase a support contract, documentation is free. Cisco documentation is also available on the web -- if you have a fast Internet conneciton this may be more useful than the CD. Try:

From: Question 32 Date: 19 May 1995 Subject: When are static routes redistributed?

In the simple case, any static route *in the routing table* is redistributed if the ''redistribute static'' command is used, and some filter (set with either ''route-map'' or ''distribute-list out'') doesn't filter it out. Whether the next hop address is reachable (if you use static route pointing to a next hop) OR Whether the interface is up (if you use static route pointing to an interface).

From: Question 20 Date: 22 April 1996 Subject: How are packets switched?

Process and fast switching support inbound and outbound, simple and extended, access lists. Of course, for fast switching, such lists only restrict traffic on the particular fast-switched interface. Autonomous switching is done in the switch processor, a microcoded device that is capable of switching IP, IPX, and bridging packets in the 100kpps range. This is known as the "SP" card on the 7000 and the CBUS controller on the AGS+. Encapsulation support is rather limited (Ethernet, HDLC, HSSI...).

Forwarding of DHCP packets (to a DHCP server elsewhere in the network) is supported in 9.21(4) and 10.0(3), as well as later releases.

The dash following the year indicates 1979 and any later year. To retrieve only those dates with the year 1994 in them, you would need to enter either "Date contains 1994" or "Date exactly 1994" (if your records contain year only). Mark by Date leaves the original (first entered) record of each set of duplicates unmarked and marks all later duplicates. The "first entered" date is stored internally, and is not visible to the user.

From: Question 6 Date: 28 April 1996 Subject: Is there a World-Wide-Web (www) information source?

You need to tell your cisco to use the same link-level protocol as the other router; by default, ciscos use a rather bare variant of HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) all link-level protocols use at some level/layer or another. To make your cisco operate with most other routers, you need to change the encapsulation from HDLC to PPP on the relevant interfaces. For instance: sewer-cgs#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line.
