Experience joy,
Experience waffle,
Today.
This isn't Cisco specific, but I think the expertise is probably here for what I need to know. I'm setting up an IPSec VPN for our students/employees, and wanted to know if there is any reason I should NOT use a pre-shared key for Phase 1 IKE (that would pretty much be publicly known). Phase 2 needs a username/password anyway, so it seems like it should still be secure as a service. (Or at least as secure as any username/password combo goes.)

Yeah so i'm going to need some help here with our wireless network

We've got a Cisco 2500 WLC
Product Identifier Description AIR-CT2504-K9
Version Identifier Description V01
Software Version 7.0.116.0
Field Recovery Image Version 1.0.0

That in turn handles a couple of Cisco Aironet 3502i access points,
Product ID AIR-CAP3502I-E-K9
Version ID V01
Primary software version 7.0.116.0
Boot version 12.4.23.0
IOS version 12.4(23c)JA2
Mini IOS version 7.0.112.74

One of these aps drops everything every 24 hours,which is a known "bug" and fixed in newer software updates.

My problem is that i have no idea what i'm even supposed to download.
At http://software.cisco.com/download/type.html?mdfid=283307699&flowid=16362 i have three choices,
Autonomous ap ios software (which is for standalone aps?)
IOS Software (?)
Lightweight AP ios software (which should be what we use since we're connecting it to the WLC)

Under lightweight i have 15.2.2-JB(ED) and 12.4.23c-JA7(ED), this seems to be completely different versions. (I do not have a support contract so i can't get either of them anyway).

Why is everything Cisco so hard for me to understand?

You only want to upgrade the software on your controller, the access points automatically downloads their code from there when they connect.
Look for:
AIR-CT2500-K9-1-8-0-0-FUS.aes (firmware upgrade)
and
AIR-CT2500-K9-7-4-100-0.aes (controller software)

Both these should be installed on the controller. Make sure you read the release notes as the firmware upgrades takes a long time (30-45 minutes) and potentially bricks the unit if you abort it.

Release notes here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_1_8_0_0.html
and here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn74.html

When you have done this you get both bonjour gateway and AVC (deep packet inspection) support

I have an absolutely odd one for you guys. Scheduled the down time to test my new ASA5515-x at our corp office. I plugged in the WAN- I can ping the modem/8.8.8.8 just fine- no problems there. I plugged in the LAN and nothing. I can not ping the internal gateway, I can not ping any internal hosts. From the core switch (HP 5406-zl) I can not ping the ASA.

Here is what I tested:
Laptop directly connected to ASA LAN port via patch cord- static IP, I can ping the ASA just fine.
Laptop directly connected to Switch- static IP, I can ping the Gateway just fine.
Checked ASA config- static route inside is fine
Checked HP config- outbound route is fine
Checked ASA int: Auto/Auto 1000mb connected is UP
Disabled ASA LAN Int, reset ASA, re-enabled.

I am a bit stumped. Could be this head cold, but I don't get it. Everything worked fine in the LAB.

Stale ARP cache? If there are VLANs on the HP switch are you plugged into a port for the "LAN" VLAN?

the spyder
Feb 18, 2011
I'll try clearing the ARP, but I figured a reset would do that on both the ASA/HP. The switch port is correct(hence why I can plug my laptop in and ping the HP gateway just fine.)


Before I toss in the towel today I decided to try one last thing. I grabbed a spare L3 switch and
plugged my laptop directly in to it, set it up identical to the other core vlan's and all, and plugged the ASA in. It works.

Here is the difference.

Network layout (does NOT work):
Cisco ASA-> HP 2510 (Access) -> HP 5406zl Core

Network layout (works)
Cisco ASA-> HP 2910al (Core)

I am just plain confused- Why can I plug my laptop in to the distro switch and ping the Core just fine, but when
I plug the ASA in, nothing. Nada. The only thing I can think of is I have never tried plugging an ASA in to a HP2510
switch before, only the 2910/5406. Could it possibly be a uplink/speed issue?


*EDIT

It's something with the switch gear. No idea what yet, but I decided to plug everything back in, except I added a 2nd port on the HP 2510 Access switch and plugged my laptop in. The laptop/asa ping eachother just fine- but can not ping the core despite everything being tagged correctly...
With the ASA plugged in, I can not ping the core (where as before I could.)

I wish my internet did not come in to the access closet. I think I might cheat though, I found where the 4x1Gb Cat6 runs are connecting the two "halves" of our offices (it used to be two separate offices). I could easily yank 4 more pulls back to the main server room and move the ASA in to a nice AC'd room with the rest of my gear and connect it straight up to the core. I am liking this idea more and more... Minus having to pull/terminate 4 runs. Oh well.

If you have support you should be able to download an autonomous image off CCO and reflash it. You'll need a DHCP server on the network to get a prompt on the console, or you can hold MODE during the boot process and put it into monitor mode then reflash from there.

1. preshared key is obtainable by third party and once it is leaked it has to be changed for all users.
2. when preshared key is leaked, anyone who has it can launch a bruteforce/dictionary attack on authentication server.

Watch for anomalies. If your userbase is small, there should be no problem in changing preshared key when problems occur.

If you decide to go with SSL VPN then you must use certificate authentication.
Otherwise anyone can connect to VPN and launch a bruteforce/dictionary attack on authentication server.

SSL VPN with certificate authentication is better for controlling security breach.
If users device has been compromised you disable this individual certificate and other users continue to use service unaffected.

Quick CCNA Frame Relay question.



What's the significance of using the frame map ip xx.xx.xx.xx dlci xxx versus just using ip address xx.xx.xx.xx and frame-relay interface-dlci 500?

Are the latter two specifically for subinterfaces, and if so, why does the subinterface level support the frame map ip command?

You are describing a L3 to L2 mapping with those commands so you have to consider how the L3 addressing relates to the L2 topology.

You could have a single subnet for a P2P link or P2MP link.

Here's hopefully a simple problem. I've recently bought an 867VAE for a remote site that has ADSL and an old router that is dieing slowly, and they wanted something a little more robust.

This setup was orignally tested on my desk routing from GE1 (the Ethernet WAN port) and was passing traffic. I then changed the WAN in Configuration Professional to use ADSL and I get a solid ADSL link LED and solid act LED, but no traffic passes. CP shows the ATM0.1 link as having no IP address.

I'm aware that I should probably be using the CLI and not any of the terrible GUI tools, and it's my intention to learn and get my employer to put me through a CCNA course, but for now I just need this thing working.

For one, the WAN interface is shutdown. Do a "no shut" or admin it up in the software you're using. Giving it the quick once over it looks normal otherwise. NAT looks normal, etc.

Some things from my working ADSL config on my SR520 that you don't have:

interface ATM0
no ip address
no atm ilmi-keepalive
dsl operating-mode auto
!
...
!
interface Dialer0
ip address negotiated
ip nat outside
no ip virtual-reassembly

dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
no cdp enable
ppp authentication pap callin
ppp pap sent-username come@me.bro password 0 pa$$w0rd
ppp ipcp dns request
ppp ipcp route default



I'm sure one of the more experienced guys can correct me if I'm wrong but my theory is you don't have anything working at layer 3 (IP addressing). The PPP commands you have only set up the ADSL link, there are no lines in there that talk upstream to the ISP to get your WAN IP, next hop address or anything. This is where negotiated and ppp ipcp come in. Furthermore, 99% of the time when someone is using ADSL they will be using NAT, so make sure your NAT config is working by making Dialer0 the outside interface and one of your LAN ports or a VLAN the inside interface.

I can route ICMP between the networks. If I ping 192.168.x.x from the 172.x.x.x network, I get a reply. If I ping 172.x.x.x from the 192.168.x.x network, I get reply.
Tracert or traceroute works, also.

from the 192.168.x.x network
Telent 172.x.x.x 3389 .... Good
Telent 172.x.x.x 80 .... Good.

The 192.168.x.x network has a firewall from I brought from home. A netgear something.

Now, if I change the Gateway settings on one of the hosts on the 172.x.x.x network to the VPN server located on the 172.x.x.x network (in other words, bypass the Cisco firewall), I can telnet to the 192.168.x.x network no problem. I can connect to a web server on the 192.168.x.x.

So, I know the problem is with the Cisco firewall. I have tried to setup a rule that allows this traffic, but it doesn't work.

What am I missing on the Cisco Firewall?

Use the packet tracer function in ASDM to see where it fails. (Uncheck the animation check, the only thing it does is make you wait.) Also, upgrade your asa, if you are using asdm 6.1, you are on an old version of the os.

How do you guys measure packet loss on WAN links? Like I expect some packet loss but in general it should be <<1% I'm working with a vendor and they are claiming we are experiencing packet loss on the WAN and thus that is the problem, but I disagree with that assessment, so how cna I "prove" that we are not losing packets.

Also just in general it would be nice to periodically test the link for packet loss as something to present to the carriers if needed.

Thanks.

I've done that also. The packet is allowed.

I'll look into upgrading.

I am using Cisco ASDM 6.1 for ASA. I have a 5500 series firewall.

The inside interface is 172.x.x.x.

I am trying to route all traffic going to 192.168.x.x to a router with a VPN connection in my lab.

I have the static route set up, and the NAT rule to exempt the networks. So I have two NAT rules set up.

Without seeing a diagram/configs it sounds like asynchronous routing. ICMP isn't a stateful connection which is why your pings work.

You will need to statically route the 192.168.x.x network on your workstation to point directly to the netgear firewall instead of the default gateway (the ASA) or set up tcp state bypass on the ASA(I don't recommend this)

I've used MTR in the past but if it's a WAN link over the internet I just usually tell people there's no SLA for internet traffic and to GTFO

Is this link Ethernet? If so, run Y.1731 and/or CFM.

I'm not familiar with either of those. What do i need to make those work?

Essentially they perform SONET-esque alarm functions. Wireless carriers wanted detailed stats from service providers to prove they were meeting SLAs. One nice thing about either protocol is they use standard Ethernet frames and should be carried without issue across the service provider network. You'd definitely want to check the feature navigator to make sure CFM is available on the platform you're running.

You'll want to configure a MEP on each end of the circuit in question.

FACTS ARE A CONSPIRACY BY THE CAPITALIST OPRESSOR
I understand that a portchannel with more than 8 members will feature hot standby to some degree.

I state this because we have someone with a Dell server who wants a portchannel setup, but doesn't want to push a gig + of data, but instead simply wants some type of fail over. I suggested HSRP, but haven't heard back.

It's currently up/up and pingable, it's just that my interfaces are not bonded. They're l2 switchports so a port channel probably isn't even necessary on my end.

Would this present any issues in the real world?

If you have to ask you likely don't have either.

I'd set up IPSLA and measure with that (hopefully you have access to equipment on both ends). If you're just looking for a "right this second, on an Xmbps stream, there's Y% packet loss" I like to use iperf in dual-end UDP mode.

Sounds like you want to run a LACP bundle with hot-standby. Should be available on most platforms.

I did a little reading on asynchronous connections and routing, and it doesn't look like it to me, but I am be very wrong.

Attached is the diagram. Thanks.
