NAT

Or more specifically, NAT-PT.

This one is a really cool issue, took me a bit of troubleshooting but I finally tracked down my issue with NAT-PT. (NAT-PT is IPv4 to IPv6 Translation.)

As you can see with the output below, after configuring NAT-PT normally, only every other packet reaches it's destination.


R1#p 1.1.1.3 r 6

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 6, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!.!.!.
Success rate is 50 percent (3/6), round-trip min/avg/max = 16/17/20 ms


Now, clearly this isn't what we'd like, we want all of our packets to reach our destination.  The cause for this is what I must figure to be an IOS bug as the issue lies with CEF.  By disabling IPv4 CEF (Only disabling IPv6 CEF had no effect, and I couldn't test if the issue was only IPv4 CEF as IPv6 CEF is reliant on IPv4) I was able to get all pings to be successful.


R1#p 1.1.1.3

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 16/18/20 ms


Here is the simple config I used, I edited out everything unnecessary.  R1 is connected to R2 via ethernet while R2 connects to R3 via serial.  (R1) ------ (R2) ---z--- (R3)

R1#show run
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0

ip route 1.1.1.3 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.5

Today's Challenge

Today's challenge is determining how to use the question mark character "?" in a password on a Cisco router when configuring a key-chain.  Hrm.  Puzzling.

(Key-chain is to be used with EIGRP Authentication, but that makes no difference.)
