GNS3 LAB: Segment Routing Configuration on Cisco IOS-XE and IOS-XR routers.

This blog is very close to my heart because this is the first one where the lab is done on my recently built remote GNS3 server. Please check my blog on how to configure GNS3 as a remote server here How to Run GNS3 in Client Server Mode Now, lets get started with Segment routing.… Read More GNS3 LAB: Segment Routing Configuration on Cisco IOS-XE and IOS-XR routers.

How to Run GNS3 in Client Server Mode

My love hate relationship with GNS3 has come to a next level!! I have a server like configuration on my Ubuntu Machine , it has 64 GB memory so enough for my GNS3 practices.I used to VNC to this machine and run GNS3 on it. This was working just fine but since the day I… Read More How to Run GNS3 in Client Server Mode

ISIS Metric types. Experimenting with wide and narrow metrics.

Narrow Metric: We all know that by default the metric value for the ISIS route is 10 and it keeps on adding 10 on crossing every single link. For example, if the prefix has reached the router by crossing three links them the metric value associated with the prefix should be 40. See below example… Read More ISIS Metric types.

Cisco Dynamic MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels (Auto-Tunnels)

Configuring static MPLS TE tunnels can be a highly unmanageable task if the number of PE grows. On top of that, you also need to manage FRR backup tunnels, which is only going to add complexity. Take an example of the ISP that has 100 PE routers deployed. For 100 PE routers, if you need… Read More Cisco Dynamic MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels (Auto-Tunnels)

GNS3 LAB: Cisco ISIS, How to verify and troubleshoot.

Hello Folks, Welcome to my blog, in this blog, I am going to discuss the method which I always apply to check if the ISIS protocol is working perfectly on the router or not. The same process will also give some tips to troubleshoot the protocol. So let’s get started. In case you want to… Read More GNS3 LAB: Cisco ISIS, How to verify and troubleshoot.

GNS3 LAB : LFA(Loop free alternate) and RLFA(Remote-LFA) on Cisco Routers.

Convergence time is a problem that humankind is trying to resolve since the day IGPs were discovered. Every vendor keeps on pushing less convergence time. With low “hold time” intervals we somehow manage to decrease the convergence time but this also has a limit, and the chances of raising bigger problems increase when we keep… Read More GNS3 LAB : LFA(Loop free alternate) and RLFA(Remote-LFA) on Cisco Routers.

How to configure ISIS on Cisco IOS-XR

Here is a quick example of configuring ISIS between two cisco IOS-XR devices. The configuration is a little different than how we do on Cisco IOS or IOS-XE devices, however, theoretically, it is exactly the same so it doesn’t take much to understand and learn the configuration. So let’s quickly jump to the configuration. Configuration… Read More How to configure ISIS on Cisco IOS-XR
