Chris Martin CCIE# 34310:

“Well its official, got my results in this morning, CCIE # 34310.  Just want to give a big thanks to everyone here in Online Study List for a great community in which to strive toward this goal over the last year.  Thanks to Vik Malhi and IPexpert for the great CCIE Voice VoDs, CCIE Voice 5 Day Bootcamp,  and Proctor Labs rack rentals. I cannot imagine myself achieving success without your products and ongoing support.  A big shout out to my boot camp  buddies from 11/11/11, keep your head down and don’t give up, I am sure you will all make it!

Now time for a break.. and maybe a real book, that isn’t a SRND or Cisco Press…”

Jose Valverde CCIE# 34305:

“Just wanted to say thank you to Vik Malhi for all of your tips and tricks. I was able to pass my lab exam this past Tuesday. Without your CCIE Voice Bootcamp it definitely would have been harder.”

Chapter Challenge: BSR Sample Trouble Tickets

The following section includes three sample Trouble Tickets designed to challenge the troubleshooting skills that have been developed in all previous sections of this chapter. These Trouble Tickets were designed using the Routing & Switching rental racks at www.ProctorLabs.com with the initial configurations provided in the file MCAST-CH9-BSR-TT-INITIAL.txt. Keep in mind these sample Trouble Tickets were also tested against home practice racks and the most popular router emulators.

Patrik Berlund Jimenez:
“I took a couple of days off from work this week to study since I had booked the written for next week. It felt really good and I felt like “I got this”, so I moved the written exam to this morning and I PASSED! Just a couple of minutes ago, I can barely believe it. I mainly used this bootcamp to rehearse (and to ask Anthony a bunch of questions), which I think (obviously) worked out great!!! =) Now I can really relax and enjoy the weekends, and afterwards I’m looking forward to continuing my studies with IPexpert for the lab exam!”

Mohammed Yahya Mousa:
“I passed the written today! I would like to thank Matt Just, all the guest speakers and a SPECIAL THANKS to our Instructor Anthony. I am planning to take the lab in July (7 months from now), it’s time use the Blended Learning Solution and listen to the VOD with Joe Astorino. Wish you all good luck, I really enjoyed the CCIE R&S Written and Lab Fundamentals Exam Bootcamp.”

debug COMMAND:
debug ip mpacket [vrf vrf-name] [detail | fastswitch] [access-list] [group]

This command displays multicast packets that are received and sent on the device.

Where:

• vrf – optional; specifies the name of the multicast VRF instance
• detail – optional; displays IP header and MAC information
• fastswitch – optional; displays IP packet information in the fast path
• access-list – optional; restricts the output per the specified access-list

EXAMPLE OUTPUT:
IP(0): s=172.16.24.4 (FastEthernet0/0) d=224.9.9.9 id=7, ttl=254, prot=1, len=114(100), mroute olist nullIP(0): s=172.16.24.4 (FastEthernet0/0) d=224.9.9.9 id=8, ttl=254, prot=1, len=114(100), mroute olist null
IP(0): s=172.16.24.4 (FastEthernet0/0) d=224.9.9.9 id=9, ttl=254, prot=1, len=114(100), mroute olist null

debug COMMAND:
debug ip pim [vrf vrf-name] [bsr]

This command displays the mappings for the PIM group to the active Rendezvous Point(s).

Where:

• vrf – optional; specifies the name of the multicast VRF instance

EXAMPLE OUTPUT:
R4#debug ip pim bsr
