IntroductionThere's a significant knowledge gap between the level of information given in the moderately advanced Cisco courses (ACRC, CIT, CID, etc.) and the level of information needed for the CCIE. Even in these courses, I've found that for me to teach them well, there is a need to present certain key concepts that simply never seem to get written down.
This tutorial is less intended to give you specific information about meeting well-defined CCIE objectives, as to give you some of the "glue" that bonds together many IOS components. The Scenario with it is more to set your expectations than to mirror the exam. Don't be surprised, in working on any CCIE scenario at the CertificationZone, to find that all the techniques needed to solve it are not in the associated Tutorial. Mixing of subjects is a reality of the real lab!
Given the broad scope of CCIE, you may not find, in any one Tutorial, the information to pass a specific written CCIE objective. That is deliberate, and reflects the reality of the CCIE lab. Labs intertwine multiple objectives and techniques. This paper is intended to help give you the mental tools to understand how various concepts intertwine.
In its internal training for TAC personnel, Cisco has run courses on "Routing Principles" to bridge some of the gap between the configuration level of ACRC and the actual behavior of complex routing systems. Other vendors do similar things. In my advanced routing seminars, I find it necessary to devote 20% or more time to these principles (and thorough understanding of addressing) before I can get into truly advanced OSPF.
Many people in the industry distinguish between "theory" and "hands-on." Many operational people look down on anything that isn't hands on. As you get to the CCIE or designer level, you are likely to fail unless you can abstract things above the level of typing commands. Without the "big picture," you will find it terribly difficult to troubleshoot complex systems.
Simply dividing things into theory and hands-on is insufficient. There is a true theoretical level that protocol designers and senior network architects must have. This level is most likely to be encountered in academic computer science, in professional societies and forums such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the ACM Special Interest Group in Data Communications, and the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). I really do recommend that CCIE-level candidates be aware of these sources.
There is an intermediate of abstraction, often called "Principles of Operation" by computer manufacturers. This level makes assumptions that the alternate choices in protocol design already have been made, but goes into the mechanisms that underlie configuration and display commands and their results. This Tutorial is at the Principles of Operation level.
"After 4 years of Communications in the Army, I was 24 years old as a Freshman in College. I knew how to think and analyze, but I needed to add structure to my ability. To have a process for troubleshooting, it didn't matter if I was working on router problems or diagramming football plays,
I wanted to do research and develop concise analysis skills and then be able to convey my findings to someone else. And this is what engineering school did for me."
Marcellus Smith, on the North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) mailing list, August 22, 1999. Quoted with permission.
Often, Cisco documentation and courses are confusing because they don't give you the unified picture you need for true understanding of what is happening. OSI model information is presented more as a smattering of terms to memorize. Ironically, the CCNA objectives discuss OSI as a means of better understanding, but there's little that explains how, on a detailed level, to get this understanding.
While Cisco likes to talk about frames vs. packets vs. segments vs. messages, doing so is not correct OSI terminology. OSI formalism sometimes is very pedantic, but some of its terminology can be very precise and unambiguous.
OSI documents speak not of specifically named units at every layer (e.g., frame at layer 2), but of Protocol Data Units (PDU). At a specific layer, you speak of Transport PDUs or Data Link PDUs. Another useful concept, especially when dealing with protocol encapsulation, is the layer above the current layer is called (N+1) while the layer below is (N-1). From the perspective of the network layer, it receives (N+1) PDUs from Transport, and sends out (N-1) PDUs to Data Link.
A relay (yes, that's the way it's spelled), which is a term from the formal specifications, is a device (or software function) with at least two interfaces. It receives PDUs on one interface and de-encapsulates them until it has the information on which it will make forwarding decisions. Ignoring devices such as multilayer switches, devices such as bridges and LAN and WAN switches accept physical layer bits, build them into Data Link PDUs, and make forwarding decisions on information at Data Link.
Figure 1
Routers receive bits, form frames, and extract Network PDUs from the Data Link PDUs. After examining Network Layer information, they internally forward Network PDUs to an outgoing interface, and then encapsulate these into Data Link PDUs and then Physical Layer information.
To make any of these forwarding decisions, the relay must first have an association between destination (and possibly other) information in the PDU at which it makes decisions, and information about the appropriate outgoing interface. The process of learning these associations is path determination. In bridges and LAN switches, path determination involves the spanning tree protocol, VLAN protocols, and source routing. In routers, path determination involves static and dynamic routing, as well as the up/down state of hardware interfaces.
Sales information and the trade press have thoroughly confused the terminology for devices that relay frames and packets inside networks. To bring some clarity to the issue, let's do away with the terms router and switch. Instead, we have relays that operate at different layers. A relay accepts a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with its layer on incoming interface(s), and either drops the PDU or forwards it out one or more incoming interfaces. "Pure routers" are network layer relays. "Pure bridges (or LAN switches)" are data link layer relays.
At any given layer, relaying has two parts:
• Path determination, in which the "map" of the network is, in effect, examined for best paths. The relay may learn of a potential route from several sources, and choose the route it considers "best." Path determination creates a routing information base (RIB). On Cisco routers, you display the RIB with the show ip route command.
• Forwarding, in which PDUs move from one router or switch port to another, in microseconds or nanoseconds. Layer 3 relays use a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) to look up the destination and find the outgoing interfaces. You can display FIBs with various show route-cache commands specific to the switching mode in use.
Routed protocols, such as IP and IPX, are the protocol messages handled by layer 3 forwarding. Routing protocols are carried inside routed protocol packets, and convey information to path determination.
