CSS: How does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) work?

Hello everyone,
I have a question about how does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) work on CSS 11503.
According to the "Using the CSS Scripting Language",
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/css11500series/v7.50/configuration/administration/guide/Scripts.html
it says
Since we just want to see if the DNS server is alive we will send a simple DNS Query.  This query is hard coded in hexadecimal and sent raw to the DNS server.
and
Receive some unexplained response. We don't care what it is because an unstable DNS server or a non-existent one would probably not send ! us any data back at all.
but it also says
Failure Upon: 1. Not resolving the host's IP from the domain name
And according to the "How to Configure the CSS to Load Balance DNS Servers and Use the DNS Scripted Keepalives",
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_configuration_example09186a00801d015a.shtml
it says
The script is hard-coded to resolve www.cisco.com.  It does not matter if the DNS server can resolve this address or not, as long as a DNS response comes back that the service is alive. This keepalive is only testing if a DNS server can respond to a query, not if it can resolve a specific name. The script queries from the CSS to DNS internal servers keep track of the availability of the DNS servers.
but it also says
Access to Internet Domain Name System Root Servers is required for successful implementation of DNS scripted keepalives.
So I am confused whether DNS server has to resolve the host's IP address correctly for DNS query received from CSS or just needs to reply any response but not need to resolve it.
I would like to recap about my question.
Q1: Does DNS Scripted Keepalive (ap-kal-dns) send DNS query with cisco.com as DNS name by default?
Q2: Does DNS server has to resolve IP address of  cisco.com or just need to respond for DNS query with any response but not need to resolve IP address of cisco.com?
I understand I should get capture data and see how DNS scripted keepalive works, but I can not prepare lab environment to do it at the present.
Your information would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Shinichi

yes the query is for www.cisco.com and the script expect a reponse that contains the word cisco.

  • How does full-text search for pdf files work?

    Hi there,
    Basically I can see my pdf file in the content server.. inside the pdf there's a piece of test that says: "Test's Sample" but when I do a search with that string the file gets filtered from the results.
    I think it has to do with the ' (single quote) being there because other text in the pdf works fine.. so I was wondering how does VDK store this full text? where? I'd like to see how it gets translated IF that's how it works with pdf files....
    Following advice from Re: Parse error with search query I tried doing the search by:
    Test\'s Sample
    Test`s Sample
    "Test's Sample"
    The database is db2 if that helps.. how can I fix this problem?

    Nevermind, I fixed it by changing the VDK filters (in case someone is looking for a solution too).

  • How does the purchase process of SAP C4C work?

    Hello,
    we need some information about the purchase process of the SAP C4C System.
    Now we have access to our own C4C System and we are trying to configure it.  But what are the next steps? How do we get the productive system? How does SAP transfer the test data to the productive system? where do we get our development system? ....
    Does anybody have any experience with the first C4C implementation?
    The information we get from SAP confused even more than helped.
    Thanks and regards
    Suita

    HI Suita
    If you are still looking for help, we specialise in Cloud for Customer implementations and have been through this process. You can contact me at [email protected]
    There are a number of assets available on the service marketplace. While you may need advice, I do not believe that consulting services are a mandatory part of the C4C setup, having said that SAP ideally will have discussed some options during the software selection process.
    Are you implementing SAP C4C standalone or with integration to any other system?

  • How does "Derive Territory" action in Account screen work?

    Hey all,
    Does anyone have idea on how the action "Derive Territory" in Account screen work?
    Is it based on Rules(in the Decision table) of already completed "Realignment Runs"? I observed that it is picking up based on State of Account.
    If yes, is there any way that I can configure this Decision table apart from Realignment Run creation screen?
    How is this intelligence to pick a Territory based on Geographic location included here? Is it picking from same Decision table? Coz we don't define these geographic positions while defining a territory. We just give names. Am I going wrong anywhere here?

    Thanks for the tip Janina but it didn't help me unfortunately. From the screenshot below (taken from page# 234), I can go with the assumption that I already have but I need a confirmation on that.

  • How does the new "download additional fonts" feature works?

    I'm so happy to see that the “download additional fonts” feature has added in the newest iWork suite for iOS. In previous versions of iWork for iOS, available fonts are only limited to those that iOS has built in, which you can see a complete font list here: iOS 7: Font list.
    And a couple of days ago, I found that the iOS 7 is now support “download additional fonts for Apps” feature. Which means that Apps can download a Apple-provided list of addtional fonts if necessary. And we can find this list of font in that support page given above.
    So if you edit a pages / keynote / numbers file on a Mac using some fonts that iOS hasn't, then when you open it on an iOS device, it'll download the fonts for you to make your document more beautiful and personalized. That is to make sure that the document has exactly the appearance that you wanted.
    But here comes the question:
    Sometimes, those addtional downloaded fonts are available for all the documents in that App, and sometime they are only available on that particular document. Any idea how does this function work? Is it a normal function, or is it a bug waiting to be fixed?
    The downloaded "addtional fonts" are only limited to that App you're using. For example, you can access the fonts in which the App you downloaded them. So if you're using Pages to download fonts, you won't be able use them in Keynote. In other words, you have to download them again, and this will obviously take a large amount of storage space on my device if I want to use those fonts in every App. So again, is it a normal function, or is it a bug?
    Any solutions, guys? A thousand thanks in advance!

    This isn't totally new, as it was part of iOS 6 as well:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5484
    But since it really only applied to Asian fonts, it was not of much interest to other users.
    Could you give an example the fonts not being available in other documents in a particular app?
    I think confining the extra font to individual apps would be considered by Apple to be their standard desired behavior and not a bug.  It is the way iOS works in general.
    Have you actually checked the amount of storage space these fonts take up?  I doubt it is very large.

  • How does the Class javax.security.auth.Subject work?

    Hi,
    i don't understand how does the class Subject work.
    First i will describe how do i understand u can use the class Subject
    This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):
    1. create a LoginContext, where u can tell over its parameter which
    Module to use
    2. a LoginModule will be used
    3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
    if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it really works
    Now the questions:
    1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff like this from
    to fill the Subjects? Principals?
    2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at client side?
    when save on server: how to reference a Subject is belong to the
    right Client?
    when save on client: how to ensure the client do not modify it?
    3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed. v1.4.1, there is
    no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then where the
    principals are saved?
    4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to modify the principals,
    so how to modify it if necessary?
    i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
    thanx,
    edo

    Hi
    Let me try to answer. I am a bit confused too.
    Hi,
    i don't understand how does the class Subject work.
    First i will describe how do i understand u can use
    the class Subject
    This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):
    1. create a LoginContext, where u can tell over its
    parameter which
    Module to use
    2. a LoginModule will be used
    3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
    Correct.if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it
    really works
    Now the questions:
    1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff
    like this from
    to fill the Subjects? Principals?
    The Loginmodule does not need the user name. The username is
    only relevant to your application not to JAAS. Consider a standaalone
    application. Whoever starts the application, becomes the user.
    After you start the application, and login (whatever way), your subject
    is created. This subject pertains to the person who is executing the application, not the application specific userid/username. So the user id or name is not required. There is only one user, who is running the application. The JAAS architecture is more relevant for UNIX like
    permission/grant structure, which determines who can execute what.
    >
    2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at
    client side?
    Again the Subject has nothing to do with your application specific userid. It will be there in the LoginContext. So in a sense a LoginContext is actually a user, not a Subject.
    when save on server: how to reference a Subject is
    is belong to the
    right Client?
    when save on client: how to ensure the client do
    do not modify it?
    In a client server mode, usually the login is done twice. You have to find a way to communicate the subject to the server.3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed.
    v1.4.1, there is
    no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then
    en where the
    principals are saved?
    4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to
    modify the principals,
    so how to modify it if necessary?
    I think you can add Principals. That is definitely there.i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
    thanx,
    edo
    Hope this helps. As of now I do not think JAAS provides a very good architecture for authorization.
    cheers

  • How does the Daubechies-4 wavelet VI actually work?

    Hi, 
    I'm a student currently working on my final year project, of which one of the objectives are to detect peaks of ECG signals (R-peaks) using the Daubechies-4 wavelet transform VI in LabVIEW. I'm current using LabVIEW 2013 student edition (6 months trail), if that makes any difference. 
    I am quite confused about how the Daubechies-4 wavelet works:
    1) How many levels does it decompose the signal into? 
    2) Is there a way to set the level of decomposition? 
    3) Are filters already applied in the VI or do I actually need to design a filter myself? 
    4) What is the main difference between a Db4 PtByPt and a normal Db4 transform in terms of LabVIEW? 
    5) Finally, how does the VI actually superimpose the wavelet onto the signal? Does it take the entire signal into consideration or does it take each pulse into consideration when superimposing the wavelet? 
    Thanks in advance for the answers.
    Regards,
    Derren
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Derren,
    Firstly, can you clarify the exact name of your 'Daubechies-4 wavelet transform VI' and in which pallette you find it in LabVIEW (i.e. which module / toolkit it is from)? It is also possible that the VI you mentioned is not from NI. For example, maybe you inherited that from your senior who was in the project last year.
    Nevertheless, the closest match I can find is WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI found under the Advanced Signal Processing toolkit. You can choose db04 in the wavelet terminal. This is a bit different to what you described as the VI can work for different kinds of wavelet, not just Daubechies type. Suppose you will use this, then the answer to your questions are:
    1) How many levels does it decompose the signal into? 
    2) Is there a way to set the level of decomposition?
    You can set this by wiring the value to the level terminal of the VI.
    3) Are filters already applied in the VI or do I actually need to design a filter myself?
    Both options are possible. Some commonly used filters are included and you can choose this by wiring the wavelet terminal. You can design your own filter using Wavelet Design Express VI and wire the output to the analysis filters terminal of WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI.
    4) What is the main difference between a Db4 PtByPt and a normal Db4 transform in terms of LabVIEW?
    I can not find these VI you mentioned. Please clarify.
    5) Finally, how does the VI actually superimpose the wavelet onto the signal? Does it take the entire signal into consideration or does it take each pulse into consideration when superimposing the wavelet?
    I am not sure if I understand this question correctly. You can open the WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI to see how it works inside up to the decimation filtering, in which it is protected as a DLL. From what I see it takes the entire signal (modified with the chosen extension) for this main process.
    As a last note, your LabVIEW Student Edition does not include Advanced Signal Processing toolkit, hence you will not find above VIs I mentioned. Try checking with your school if they have purchased Academic license of LabVIEW, which usually includes the toolkit.
    Hope this clarifies.

  • How does sharepoint designer create item in list work ?.

    I'm using sharepoint 365, and the free sharepoint designer.
    I'm trying to make something so that if List A gets an update other lists get new records to.
    There is a sharepoint-designer action that lets one create a an item in another list.
    And i have tested it a lot but haven't got any of my tests to work, been trying for a week now.
    I'm not sure as how it is exactly named in English, since our sharepoint is al dutch  :(
    I think in English  it looks like:
    Create item in Yourlistname  (save result in variable
    Succes)
    When clicking on yourlistname, you need the all valeus of all required items in the list.
    Now asume such worklow rule is made to start after an Entry is made in List A, And we want to update List B
    Here i start i think my problems
    So you select List B as your listname, but then...
    How does one refer, to a required link title from List A?.  use current list item ?
    How to link to a 4th table entry of List C as value to make in List B
    If List A has a value that is clickable-link how to link that to Value B
    If someone knows of problems with this, permissions things, or knows a youtube explaining it, or can explain it himself. It would be of great help to me.
    Upon futher investigation, i got into problems where the workflow has to fill in an item
    Into a column type that is a lookup table (another list), if work with string columns it works, but I need the current "name" as a lookup link connected into List B

    Hi PGT,
    I have seen a similar thread from you. The solution is that you need to work with Item ID's when you define the workflow to work with Lookup columns links. only at creation time you need to enter what field you like to include in your list. Based upon ID
    it will then show the values. The thread is:

  • How does one script the saving of a document in TextEdit?

    I've all but abandoned my hope of scripting the printing an email in Mail.app as a PDF file. I'm now trying to use TextEdit to construct a text document of an email in the hopes of saving in as an RTF file. I've seemed to nail down the scripting of the construction of a document, but now I've hit a brick wall with saving it. The save command (in the dictionary) seems to take an "in" clause to tell it what file name to use to save something and an "as" clause to tell it what type to use. I've tried using these clauses, but they seem to be ignored, the Save dialog pops up all the time. I want to avoid user input to pick the save destination and type of the file and supply these items via the script.
    Does anyone have some clues for me? I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

    >One thing about this is that if you don't have the preferences set to rich text and it's set to plain text the document won't be converted to rich text.
    That used to be the case, kel, but doesn't appear to be any more (at least OMM).
    I have my TextEdit preferences set to 'Plain text', but I can save an RTF document if the script says to.
    A little digging, though, seems to indicate that the filename takes precendence anyway - if you declare a file name that is something.rtf you get a Rich Text Document, regardless of whether the current document is plain or rich text, or if you're using any style data.
    Saving the same file as a .txt, you get a plain text file, even if you specify 'as "RTF "'.
    So it looks like setting the right file name is the key.

  • How does a script know its in a task sequence?

    I want to pass a variable back to a task sequence from a script.  This script is in a package, and could be run as an advert or from the TS.  If I try to enable Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment and I'm not in a TS, it will generate an error. 
    Is there a way I can KNOW that I'm in a TS prior to doing so?

    The only definitive test that I know of and use in my code is to try and create the COM object and if it fails, I know the script is not being executed in a TS -- you simply need to handle the COM object creation failure gracefully.
