I'm driving myself insane trying to configure DHCP snooping on my 2960

I enable DHCP snooping on VLAN 10(testing vlan) and I set the trunk port as trusted, testing port as untrusted. I've got another PC on that vlan/switch listening with wireshark. The discover packetisn't making it to the dhcp server (it doesn't get a response) nor is it making it to my other PC. Is it because my DHCP server is behind a router?

Routers do not by default forward what type of packets?

A DHCP discovery is what type of packet?

(Hint: you'll want to use iphelper command to help the packet along to your DHCP server.)

When DHCP snooping is not enabled, it can get an address. The trusted port is the gig trunk.

I actually mistyped my earlier post , its a 2950 that's giving me a problem. The funny thing is I do have it working on a 2960 in my test environment, but the same thing being applied to the 2950 just cause no dhcp packets to be forwarded past the switchport.

My config for the 2960 and 2950 both are:

All Switch ports untrusted, rate limited to 60 pps
Trunk port trusted (no limit set)
Option 82 enabled/disabled (tried both)

Any thoughts? (sitting beside 2950 currently, console cable in hand)

Beyond a routed interface, behind the trunk. But so is the 2960 and that works. It is a mystery.

*edit*

Maybe if I included what I'm trying to do someone could point out other solutions. A few months ago we were attacked by a virus that made each infected PC a rogue DHCP server and it was causing some network problems, obviously. We were looking to stop that at the edge switches, and DHCP snooping seems to be the way to do it. If anyone knows of a better way, I'm open to suggestions.

iphelper has to be configured on that routed interface then. That would explain why it is working without DHCP snooping enabled.

A helper address is set , still nothing :(.

*edit* Problem has been solved, id1ot error. Option 82 is implicitly enabled unless otherwise disabled, and it was causing forwarded packets to go off to neverland, and never return. Thank you cisco debug processes :D

Here's one that's stumped the guys at the office for a bit: about 5 or 6 of our switches, older ones (3524s) are no longer accessible via telnet. If you telnet to them you are prompted by a greeting that says
"FreeBSD 4.10 (STABLE)
Kernel 2.6.27 on an i686
login:"
It isn't an IP mixup and we hit a freebsd machine by mistake, its a corrupt IOS so soon I'm going to go up and xmodem a new image, but for curiosity has anyone seen this before? Google came up with nothing.

It's not arp spoofing, I said the same thing when word of this first got to me. It doesn't make any sense at all really. The intrusion detection system isn't being set off, I plugged myself into the management net and wiresharked it, and just for fun and the sake of using a pricey toy, used our fluke etherscope to resolve all the mac addresses to an IP on the network and found no duplicates. Tomorrow at lunch I'm going to investigate more while people are at lunch. What will come of it, public humiliation or the most bizzare IOS error of all time, stay tuned to find out!

It'd be more then a login banner change because the login prompt is different then IOS. Before I left work I checked the mac address that was associated with the IP and it was coming up as a cisco one, and did a quick nmap/zenmap scan and it said the telnet daemon was the cisco version.

Now for the thrilling conclusion of Sojous Super Switch Mystery!



Cisco blah blah...wait BSD? this is a screen shot taken when I used a console cable to plug into the switch. In total, there are two switches inaccessible due to this. I need book the time a week in advance to take down those switches to insert a new image with xmodem, but this with all certainty eliminates the possibility of an arp-spoof. Anyone got any ideas (And no, no its not an access point..thats from an older hyperterm session.)

It's not the banner. The prompt is login: instead of username/password so whatever it is, is beyond a banner (as well, it gives a different rejected message when authentication fails). I'm no stranger to using rom/xmodem of cisco so as soon as I can book a day with the occupants of that building I'm going to take a closer look at it. Until then, as long as it keeps switching....

Here's a doozy of a problem that I've been dealing with since yesterday afternoon/today so far.

We're replacing some dinosaur cisco switches with some new hp procurve. The new/old switch is fed with multimode fiber from a distribution switch. In the closet, I've got the HP running in the rack above the cisco, and I change over the fiber cable from a GBIC end to one with an end for an SFP, plug it into the HP and...nothing. The interface won't come up. It's not a hardware problem, I've tried 3 sfps, two different HP switches/multiple SFP slots and 2 fiber patch cables. I don't believe it is a config issue because even if my running configs were ASCII drawings the interface would still be up (unless they were shut down, which they are not). Any suggestions or trouble shooting steps I could take would be much appreciated.

Thanks for chiming in to help guys, but after many prayers to the lord and attempts I got it.

Turns out, The original cable I brought with me was bad, and the original SFP was good. I assumed the SFP was broken first, so I swapped that out for an (unbenknownst to me) dead SFP. Then it still didn't work, so I swapped the cable out. That didn't work on the first SFP so I went back to the original cable. Now the that I was using the dead cable with the three SFP's it wasn't working. This was all just before my post, somewheres around the time of my post I got a notification on my pc that the link came up, so I checked it out and it was just getting an insane amount errors. So I checked it out, swapped the cable again and tried the working cable with an SFP, didn't work, tried a different SFP, worked and almost had a heart attack.

Two DOA parts in one day from different vendors. Shortly after I tried to hook up an SX link to another closet in the building and the link wasn't coming up, and I had a very dramatic "not again" moment, but fortunately no one was around. I walked over to the other closet the switch that this one was going to be feeding had died since the last time I had been in the room. One of those days.

I have a question about IOS licensing. Let's say that I acquired a 3750 with a smartnet contract on it, the firmware it came installed with was not crypto. Let's say I update the firmware, and when I do so I install the crypto image, is this frowned upon in anyway if I were to issue an RMA or other TAC service? I'm willing to bust out my water jug paper cup turned dunce cap if the answer for this one is an obvious, resounding no.

Regardless of anything else, 3750s to play with and a shiny new 6509-e on the way :).

Keep a spare on-hand, we've had a few fail (usually the PSU, but usually only fails if there's no AC so it ends up overheating).

A thousand times this. I've seen a lot of media converters fail, and the PSU also goes in them too. My first time fixing one I was foolish and only changed out the actual converter, and that didn't bring my link back up so I spent the next 3 hours trying everything in the book until my boss told me the same thing happened at the same place years ago and that the media converter power supply needs to be changed.

Using an ASA 5505

One of the big problems that I already know about is that we currently aren't using a DMZ. This will change in the upcoming months as we get the necessary hardware to pull our main DB away from the web server that hosts it so that we can host the DB in the server farm instead of in the DMZ. (We're a non-profit so we're having to do as much as possible with as little as possible.)

What I'm attempting to do is allow the web servers, pbx, chat server and other servers that SHOULD be in the DMZ sit inside the LAN in the Data Center (site1) and use DNS rewrite to stop the NAT rules for inbound traffic. This doesn't appear to be working. I can ping the servers by their external IP and if I'm on the 192.168.100.X subnet then I can see the DNS rewrite actually taking place (ping to DNS name results in local IP), but if I go from one of the other subnets that's connected via MPLS I'm unable to see the DNZ rewrite take place. So traffic from 192.168.110.X subnet tries to hit the public IP address not the internal web server IP address on 192.168.100.X subnet.

One of the other major issue that we're having is that it seems like the PBX keeps losing communication with our SIP lines. I'm not certain if I should adjust the timers or just disable the timeout for SIP. This seems to be causing us to have to reboot the PBX multiple times to restore the trunks.

Speaking of trunks, SITE2 (192.168.120.0) isn't being seen by the PBX when calls are made it tries to roll through the various trunks with no success.

Full config is attached. Any help is greatly appreciated as it means we get the current netgear junk out of the cabinet quicker.

Running Config: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/78889/scrubbed_running.txt

I'm not quite sure if I read that correctly, but DNS rewrite is not compatible with PAT (port forwarding) and that could be your problem.

Ciscoworks campus manager has the ability to poll switches periodically for their mac table and search the the location of the offender based on mac or IP. I realize using that is probably not an option, but it is a neat feature.

What would be the easiest way to deny users from plugging in their own home router/access points on our network?

In IOS 12.4, it looks like you can just use an ACL statement that looks at the TTL of a packet, but unfortunately the latest update for our router (6509-e/sup-720) is only 12.2.

Got a question for you VPN geniuses:

I've recently configured a remote access VPN on a Cisco ASA5505 to assign ip's from a range 10.10.9.0/28 (where the local lan is 10.10.8.0/24) using the IPSEC VPN configuration wizard. Seeing as how it is configured by the wizard, I thought this would work properly and pass traffic between the two networks, however I must have assumed wrong.

What happens is this: When I connect with the Cisco VPN client, I receive an IP of 10.10.9.1 and I can ping the lan ip of 10.10.8.1 (and ssh to it). I cannot ping or ssh or otherwise get any connectivity between any other remote lan hosts. I can't figure out if a misconfigured ACL is causing this, or some other configuration error. This is the ONLY VPN configured on this device. When I view the firewall log when I try to ssh to another remote lan host I see this:

Built inbound TCP connection 260 for outside: 10.10.9.1/50228 (10.10.9.1/50228) to inside: 10.10.8.12/22 (10.10.8.12/22)

followed shortly by:

Teardown TCP connection for 259 for outside: 10.10.9.1/50227 to inside: 10.10.8.12/22 duration 0:00:30 bytes 0 SYN Timeout

That would indicate to me that traffic is being passed to the remote host, but is not being sent back. Curiously if I SSH into the firewall and try to ping the IP that I am using for the VPN, it times out, and if I 'sh route' I get this:

S 10.10.9.4 255.255.255.255 [1/0] via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, outside

I am utterly confused by this issue, fffffff

It looks like a subnet mask problem. It looks like your 10.10.8.12 network is with a /22 mask, so traffic on the inside would assume 10.10.9.* would be on their local subnet, and would use ARP to look up the host instead of forwarding it to the default gateway.

Try making your VPN net something that will not overlap, or changing the subnet mask to /24 on your 10.10.8 subnet, which looks like is what you wanted all along.

When i try to use cache-fs it says the command does not exists, and I've tried it in global config, webvpn, cache and any other cli mode you could think of. Any insight?

Fixed the problem by going into cache mode, and doing 'disable' then 'no disable', but I'd still REALLY like to know where the hell that cache-fs command is.

To my recollection, the the Cisco Aironet 350 AP is one of the devices that Cisco pretty much bought directly when they purchased the whole Aironet company. (Kinda like how all their VOIP stuff is really just a Sipura device renamed.) That device doesn't have the capability to join another existing wireless network in client mode like you would want it to, in order to create a wired segment for your xbox. Those boxes didn't really have IOS like the routers and switches when I used them back in 2001. They just had a simplified serial console and a web gui.

I did little research this morning, and what this man says is the truth. Though they do make a 350 series wireless bridge, it is a separate appliance.

Could be because it's a blank ACL it just ignores it. Try adding the deny manually and see if it makes a difference.
