Hello, I recently upgraded the IOS on our Cisco 7206 VXR router to 12.3(11)T because of the warm-reboot and new warm-upgrade functions that I read about. Well, after upgrading, I enter global config and type ? only to find that the warm-reboot command doesn't exist. Have I been duped into...

I've tried using the police command, but it doesn't seem to limit the speed at all for P2P applications. The command I used is as follows: Router(config-pmap-c)# police 8000 1000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop The traffic across the interface was still around 3-4Mbps, since the...

Thanks for the reply! So basically, if I'm using the policy-map command, my only options to limit traffic on the input traffic are by using the drop or police commands?

I am trying to configure a policy map for the input traffic of our 7200 router running IOS 12.3.8T4. The commands I'm using are as follows: Router(config)# policy-map limit-traffic Router(config-pmap)# class slow-down Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10 Then I try to apply the policy...

Hi, I have a client using Outlook 2000 SP3 with a contact list with 4700 contacts. Performing a contact search takes a long time; 45 seconds or longer. Is this normal? If not is there a resolution to this problem? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I just performed some nslookups using your DNS server's outside IP and everything works fine. If you're on the inside, it's not possible to use the outside IP to do nslookups. That's just the way NAT works. Rule of thumb is any computers on the inside should use the 192.168.10.2 and .3 IPs...

Hello, Recently, we added 3 ADSL lines to our office to use as our backup WAN, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution where I could load-balance the traffic evenly between the three ADSL modems? I'm using a Catalyst 6509 switch with 3 VLANS. Each VLAN uses a single ADSL modem as the...

Hi, My company has decided to migrate our email from MDaemon Pro to Exchange 2003. MDaemon stores each email as a separate .msg file and we need to convert it into a format which Exchange can read. Does anyone know how? Thanks in advance for any help! Rich

When I try to telnet into my Solaris 2.7 server, after I type my username, I get an error that says "too many files open". I go into /etc/system and change the rlim_fd_max and rlim_fd_cur to 4096 and 1024, respectively, and reboot the server. When I try to log in again, after typing...

Hi all, When I try to telnet into my Sun Netra T1, I get the following error: ld.so.1: login: fatal: /dev/zero: open failed: Too many open files I checked the Sun docs, and they say that I need to increase the number of file descriptors, so I enter single user mode, do the ulimit -n 256, then...

Hi, I am trying to graph the CPU utilization of my Cat 6509 using MRTG. Unfortunately, MRTG complains about some error with the OID. I've checked and double checked this number at Cisco's website, and there shouldn't be a problem. I can easily monitor the CPU on the layer 3 level, but I...

Hi, I'm trying to run a cron job that will change the ownership of a file in my home directory. But for some reason, the job won't run! Here's what the line looks like: 5 0,12 * * * /usr/bin/chown nobody /export/home/user/example.txt That's all on one line. When I check the /var/cron/log...

I just reinstalled Solaris 2.6 on my E450, and when it boots up, the CDE doesn't start. Instead, it gives me a prompt to log into a command line. The S99dtlogin file is in /etc/rc2.d, so everything should be ok. Using Exceed from my laptop, I am able to open the CDE, but not from the...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has written an rc script which adds a secondary IP address to the hme0 interface upon startup. Currently, every time I reboot my server, it comes back without the secondary IP address, and I have to manually add it back in. I have zero knowledge of how to...
