AVC support for 3500 Series AP on 5760 platform

Hi all,
The title says it all. According to the 5760 Configuring Application Visibility and Control guide only the following AP types are supported
Cisco Aironet 1600 Series Access Points
Cisco Aironet 2600 Series Wireless Access Points
Cisco Aironet 3600 Series Access Points
What about the 3500 Series? Is it not (yet) supported? They are still relatively new and AVC works on AireOS based WLCs.
Had not yet the chance to do a test myself, so I am asking here.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Here is the latest AVC guide for 5760. Only addition was 3700 to the list of 1600,2600 & 3600.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/5700/software/release/ios_xe_33/iosXE_3point3_AVC_DG.html
So no support for 3500.
I do not think Cisco will make it work as they want to discontinue 3500 series.

Vss quad sup support for 4500 series

Hi all
I'm looking at at 4507r+e with dual supervisor 7
I want to run vss, however does it support quad supervisors?
I hear the second one will have to be in rommon?
In a failover how would I get the 2nd supervisor working ?
Would you need to manually boot it?

Have a look at the config guide:
Quad-Supervisor (In-chassis Standby Supervisor Engine) Support
The Catalyst 4500 series switches support dual supervisors in a redundant chassis, which can be configured for SSO or RPR mode. However, when a chassis is running in VSS mode, it supports a second supervisor engine, but only in rommon mode. In-Chassis-Standby (ICS) can not participate in control, management, or forwarding plane functioning. This makes ports on the supervisor engine in rommon mode available for forwarding although it neither participates in any switchover nor provides protection against any failure. In VSS mode, an In-Chassis-Active (ICA) supervisor engine participates in VSS control/ management operation and manages ports on the supervisor engine in rommon mode.
If the second supervisor engine is inserted in a redundant chassis, the following information applies:
•It must also be manually configured for VSS mode, i.e., it must have been converted from standalone to VSS mode previously. If you insert a supervisor engine that was not configured for VSS mode, it will disrupt the operation of the ICA supervisor engine. If it was previously configured, automatic boot must be disabled (i.e., to boot only to ROM Monitor) with the confreg command in rommon.
The supervisor engine does not takeover or boot automatically when the ICA supervisor engine fails. A manual boot up is required to make it participate in VSS; it then functions as an ICA supervisor engine.
More details on rommon commands are found at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/15.1.2/XE_340/configuration/guide/rommon.html#wp1013959
•A supervisor engine's conversion from standalone to VSS occurs per engine. If two supervisor engines exist in a chassis, one should be retained in rommon or removed, before conversion occurs. You can convert the second supervisor to VSS mode while the first supervisor is removed or in rommon, with the additional step of setting it to "boot only to ROM Monitor." When both engines are converted to VSS, they can be inserted into the chassis together and re-booted.
•Booting a chassis with two supervisor engines configured for VSS causes one of the engines to become the ICA and participate in VSS. The other engine, which becomes the ICS, will continuously reload. The secondary supervisor (the ICS) must be configured to "boot only to ROM Monitor" with automatic boot disabled.
•When the ICA fails, the ICS doesn't take over because ICS support of SSO or RPR mode is unavailable. ICS (the secondary supervisor) must be booted manually to become the ICA and manage the VSS operations. For this to happen, the former active supervisor engine must remain in rommon mode.
•ISSU support requires ICA supervisor engines on both chassis. The ICS supervisor engine does not participate in upgrade or any forwarding operations.
•Because ICS supervisor engines do not communicate with ICA supervisors, VSS and other configurations must be done at conversion time on the ICS. If not done or the configurations do not match the necessary VSS parameters (like, SwitchId, Domain, and VSL configurations), it cannot form a VSS when ICA goes down and ICS is booted manually. You can, however, enter these "bootup" commands to make it join an existing VSS domain.

Sigma raw (x3f) support for Merrill series of cameras . . .

Just wondering when and if Adobe is going to support it in camera raw. I've been a Photoshop user since version 2 or 3 - would really like to continue with it.
Thanks and look forward to your response!

Actually They do they use a Converter that changes all Camera formats to DNG Format. That Photoshop actually can read. It works with all versions of Adobe Photoshop. The people from adobe claim (When I wrote and asked why they simply couldn't use the Camera Raw system That Apple updates every month or two to add new Cameras) That NEF and the other format that Nikon, Cannon Sony are just something they just made up and are not legitimate file formats. (despite their being used by their respective companies for years.)
Each new version of Photoshop comes with a new version of this converter built in. And in the the past Until they came out with their way over priced subscription service you had to upgrade to a new version of PS in order to use your new camera. I have to note that Lightroom4 apparently doesn't need the converter.(on Mac they evidently uses built in Apple's Raw Converter).
Go to Adobe's website > support and put in search box DNG Converter.

IPv6 support for sx300 series?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if we are going to be seeing some better IPv6 support on these switches? Maybe even some static IPv6 routing?
Thanks.

Apparently it's on the roadmap for 2012, so with a bit of luck we'll see it some time then:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2113913
Oh, whoops, it's already 2013!
Seriously though, an update on where this feature request got to would be appreciated - is there anyone at Cisco who can give us an update?. Perhaps there's a version 8.0 of software for these phones about to be released with new support or something? v7 has been out there a while now.

NIDAQmx Base Support for E-Series PCCARD?

Hi all,
are there any plans for supporting the PCCARD boards (as my DAQCARD 6062E) by NIDAQmx base for Linux in (near) future? I have built a measurement software in C++ combined with a Java surface that I also would like to test on Linux. It runs fine with MSWindows.
Thanks
Thorsten

pkreitler wrotevi Maps can't look inside my own phone at the Contacts for an address. So often I am looking for an address that is in my contacts. It would be great if Ovi Maps could look up a contact. Should be easy, right?
Try opening the contact you want in Contacts and then look in Options.

Does Y.1731 support for VPLS service under ASR 9000 platform?

Hi All,
we are planning to setup OAM for monitoring performance of our VPLS service interface? By checked Cisco document, I couldn't find related document that can confirm Y.1731 support multi-point to mulit-point interface by full mesh topology in our environment.
Does someone have this kind of experience that could share with me? The document or configuration example are welcomed as well.
Thanks in advance,
Eric.

thanks Xander for your input!
on top of this question. Actually, I am looking for better solution to monitoring mutli interfaces at same time. In our environment, we have many of this kind L2vpn setup for customer. instead of monitor end by end, we want to monitor them from central point of view. do you have a better idea for this?
I attached one customer setup example below, and diagram as well.
At the meantime, we also looking for a good idea for how to setup hierarchical monitoring system that it could cross other SP domain.

UsNIC support for UCSM managed C-series server

According to
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/usnic/c/deployment/1_5_2/b_Cisco_usNIC_Deployment_Guide_For_Standalone_C-SeriesServers.html
usNIC is only supported for standalone c-series server, with VIC-1225 and RHEL
Any plans to support this for UCSM managed c-series (connected with FEX to FI), and additional OS, e.g. W2012 R2 ?

Switch support for NAC CCA for 6500 series switch

per the 4.0 document "switch support for Cisco NAC" there is a note that says
Catalyst 6000/6500 on IOS do not support mac-notification
Does this mean you cannot deploy layer 2 OOB mode, as snmp notification to the CAM will not happen with the 6k platform?

Probably, the configuration guide will give you better idea about your problem.

Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 - Support for Cisco Catalyst 3560-C Series Switches

Hello together
I have a customer which uses the following switch. Last year I have installed LMS 4.1 for him to manage the switches. Unfortunatly the switch model is not supported. According to the information found on the following site the switch is supported for most of the modules in LMS:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/device_support/table/lms41sdt.html
The oid object of the device is the following: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1465
Supported Software: 12.2(55)EX (Customer has 12.2(55)EX3
Version Support Type: Device Update
So I updated all device updates I was able to find.
Step 1: For that I went to Admin > System > Software Center > Schedule Device Downloads and created a job where I have downloaded the latest versions of all packages.
Step 2: Installed the downloaded packages Admin > System > Software Center > Device Update and installed all the packages.
Unfortunatly I don't see the same result like described in the Supported Device Table for LMS 4.1.
- Cisco View -> works
- Inventory and Config Collection -> works
- Fault Monitor not working -> Error Code Unsupported
- Network Topology Layer 2 Services -> Device Type ciscoProducts.1465, Symbol Question Mark
- VLAN Management -> Doesn't work
- User Tracking > seems also not to work
When I open the report for supported devcies (Reports > System > Device Support) and search for C3560C... I find the following devices, but not mine which i need:
C3560C-8PC-S     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1466
C3560CG8PC         .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1317
C3560CCG8TC     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1318
wsC3560CPD8ptS     .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1368
Does anybody have experience with the same switch type / model? Am I doing something wrong or is this type of switch not implemented correctly till now? Further the docuemntation supported devices would be wrong.
Thanks for any feedback Erich

Thanks but I just heard back from my Cisco SE and he assures me that an AP will NOT use up a license.
I've asked him to verify his answer for me.
Is your answer based on real world expereince (the best there is)? That is, are you running Prime LMS 4.1 and does it indeed use up a license for each light-weight AP it discovers & manages?
Thanks for mentioning options 1-3 but I do not wish to employ any of them. I don't mind buying the additional licenses for APs ... I just need to know if I have to or not.
Ian.

Lack of Migration support for 6.0 & 10g users

Hi,
One of the 1st things we wanted to do with the beta as an existing customer is to validate migrating a project from our existing Production version (6.0) to 11g.
While the import appears to work, opening any imported diagram throws an XML parsing exception.
After raising an SR, it turns out that migrating from previous versions is unsupported until 11gR2.
This puts me in a tricky spot as one of the main business drivers to adopt 11g is product upgrade.
I am very surprised to see existing customers nt being catered for in the new version, as running multiple versions in Prod is not a realistic option for most.
Backwards compatability is therefore very important to the existing user base!
So, questions for Oracle:
1. Can you please reconsider the lack of migration support for R1?
2. if this feature cannot be working for R1, what is the expected release date (even if its just a quarter) for R2?
3. To save my time, is there a list of what other features are not for going to be available in the Beta / R1 release?
As a Beta tester my time is precious, and I need to know what I can expect to work, rather than report issues only to then find out that its not supported...
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,
You are right in the sense that upgrade will be supported in BPM 11gR2. More specifically, the upgrade will support OBPM 10gR3 to BPM 11gR2. Customers in older versions of OBPM and ALBPM will need to upgrade to OBPM 10gR3 before attempting the upgrade to BPM 11gR2. To upgrade to OBPM 10gR3, there are a series of pointers in our documentation on how to do this. I can explicitly provide links if you are interested in this mandatory upgrade before moving to BPM 11g.
As per the reason for not being able to support upgrade in this first version of BPM 11g, it simply boils down to time to create the new unified BPM platform which in itself is a major undertake from an Engineering perspective. Once the foundation is complete (this is the objective for BPM 11gR1), we will start working on completing the delta to upgrade OBPM 10gR3 projects to BPM 11gR2 as best as possible. There is a document we have been sharing with customers with Best Practices for implementing OBPM 10gR3 projects with idea of an upgrade to BPM 11g. We do have significant knowledge on some pieces that we will be able to automate from a migration perspective and some others that will be hard to upgrade. If you are interested in this document, we can provide this to you.
If you have any other questions, please let me know. I would be more than happy to assist with migration questions with the most up to date knowledge I have on this front.
Regards,
eduardoc.

Why no support for the Leica M9 in LR 2.6 RC?

Hi - bemused that there's no support for the M9 in this release (especially as LR is bundled with the M9). Even more confusing as the Standard Adobe calibration profile for the M9 that comes with the LR3 Beta is pretty good (beats the embedded profile that comes with the Leica DNGs) - and this can be added to the LR2.5 profile library with a bit of copying and pasting.
I'd be grateful to hear from Adobe if there's any chance of a good M9 profile making it to the 2.6 final version. Seems a shame to miss this opportunity.
Thanks
Chris Tribble

Hello Chris,
thanks for the nice feedback.
For the moment, I will use LR for the fast preview of all images,
cataloging etc., and RawDeveloper for the fine tuning, as often as the
image permit it.
(sorry for my english!)
Lets hope that we will get through all that without loosing our
perfectly nice temper !
All the best to you,
Alain

Adobe recommends: Enhanced support for CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Over the past week, we publicized some high-value content from adobe.com and other community sites. Hopefully you enjoyed these posts and found the resources useful. Today is our last day of the "Adobe Recommends" series.
Continuing our trip along the CSS highway, we now move to CSS3 with our next recommendation, by Preran Kurnool:
Enhanced support for CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5
This blog post takes you through using box shadow, text shadow, border radius, and border image properties in Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Give it a spin and let us know what you think!

No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:

There are those who are not sold:

There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):
http://cognition.happycog.com/article/preprocess-this
Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
But not for me.
There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me

Support for 8-bit pseudocolor visuals on Solaris 10 u8 Virtualbox guest

Hello,
I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86 as a Virtualbox (3.0.8) guest on a WinXP host with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 vcard. I use JDS for the Solaris guest, and only 24-bit truecolor visuals are available for the desktop. I desperately need to run Xnest in 8-bit pseudocolor mode for an application. The video driver supplied with the Vbox Solaris guest additions has limited capability, and I think that until that driver is upgraded, I am out of luck. Does anyone have any different thoughts about that?
Is there a way to edit xorg.conf to get support for 8-bit pseudocolor overlay graphics? Wouldchanging the video driver in that file from vboxvideo to either VGA or VESA help? Any advice from an X expert would be GREATLY appreciated.
I've also tried to use svcadm to get the guest to open in 8-bit mode (default depth), but I think that the Vbox video driver (standard and VESA) only support 16- and 32-bit color modes. Is there some other way to get JDS or CDE in the guest to run in 8-bit color?
Thanks.....

Regarding expense, I was referring to the dual-headed card you suggested, not Xming.ah. my bad. Though most cards nowadays have dual outputs.
Here is a Vbox report documenting the whole situation, including Sun's replies regarding DirectColor:

it looks like you guys were talking past each other.

Note my outputs of xdpyinfo in there: no Pseudocolor visuals in 24-bit mode in the guest (the cause of my problem). My host NVIDIA card has dual DVI outputs, and I have two monitors; are you saying that I set one monitor in Windows to run in 8-bit, and then run Xming on that monitor, and then set up a remote display for my guest, and try and get the guest to display to that remote display? If so, that could be worth a try. If not, maybe I did not fully understand the idea from your first post. I'd rather not have to go out and buy a new dual-headed card unless absolutely necessary.The problem you have is that virtualbox needs a 8 bit display somewhere to send the output to. Send your end display is a windows display in 24 bit mode, it's a lose since windows won't (at least the last time I looked) allow an 8 bit window in a 24 bit desktop. You could try running the main windows display in 8 bit mode and then starting virtual box, but odds of things going in your favor is not great.
Your new idea of running a vnc server in 8-bit mode within Solaris is very interesting indeed. I am unfamiliar with vnc. I saw this page:

It says that VNC comes with Solaris 10 u5, on the companion CD. I assume that u8 has it also.Somewhere along the line, sun began do bundle vnc as a part of solaris proper. It should be in /bin/vncserver.
I'll look into that. If you know of any other source of info on vnc, please let me know. Thank you VERY MUCH for the suggestion!!!Here's more or less what you should do:
1) login to your virtual solaris box
2) Start up a 8 bit vnc server by typing "vncserver -depth 8 :1"
3) After the setup questions (if I remember, you need to at least set a password), you can connect to the vncserver by
typing "vncviewer :1" and entring the password.
You could also get a windows VNC viewer and connect to the solaris vnc server. This may render faster, since you aren't running the vncviewer in a virtual session.
4) In the vnc viewer display (which may look funny because the default setup is usually a horriffic twm session), start your Xnest.
If you want cde, edit your .vnc/xstartup to look like:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
dtterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
dtwm &
If you want jds, replace the dttterm/dtwm with gnome-panel.

Dell Equallogic SAN HIT Kit support for SAP in Linux 11.2

Hello Everyone,
I would like to use an Equallogic SAN as storage in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.2. Is the Equallogic SAN supported in Linux when using the HIT Kit to provide MPIO and snapshot support? The article from thorsten.staerk describes Equallogic SAN + Linux + native iSCSI (no mention of the HIT Kit). I understand that there are restrictions on using third party kernel modules.
My understanding is that the Equallogic MPIO driver will provide a faster, more efficient, connection to the SAN along with additional features.

Dell EqualLogic Host Integration Tools for Linux
Installation and User's Guide Version 1.2.0
From the documentation "Installs a compatible prebuilt kernel module, if available. Otherwise, the installation script loads the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) package and compiles the Dell EqualLogic-supplied kernel module."
EqualLogic Integration: Installation and Configuration of Host Integration Tools for Linux – HIT/Linux
The Dell EqualLogic HIT/Linux MPIO software consists of two components:
1. The EqualLogic Host Connection Manager daemon, ehcmd, which monitors the iSCSI session state and the configuration of the Linux server and PS Series group. Running in the background, the ehcmd daemon uses the Open-iSCSI management tool (iscsiadm) to add, remove, or modify iSCSI sessions to maintain an optimal number of iSCSI sessions. It also gathers information on the volume layout from the PS Series group.
2. A loadable kernel module, dm-switch, which implements a new Device Mapper target to the multipath devices. Based on the volume layout on the array members, the dm-switch module routes each I/O to the optimal path within the PS Series group.

The use of binary-only Linux kernel modules or drivers on the same server as SAP software is not recommended by SAP.
Thank You,

I'll take a moment to provide an update on the solution. There were some issues with the initial configuration of the in guest iSCSI volumes. If I had to start from scratch, I would run all the storage through VMware. The last round of software updates appears to have resolved a potentially serious issue with iSCSI disconnects. iSCSI has run perfectly for two months now. I'll consider the issue resolved once I have six months without any iSCSI issues.
One remaining issue is that LVM won't initialize properly without implementing a custom init script. The init script work-around is simple and it works.

HBA support for solaris 10

Hi All
I need to know which HBA card will support solaris 10.we have sunfire 1280 server, brocade silkworm 12000 and hitachi 9980
Regards
RPS

I would beg to differ on this response. This is not a service call and the storage vendor is not responsible for making decisions on what the customer is allowed or not allowed to use.
EG, I have a Sun StorEdge 9990 (actually a HDS USP 1100 and not the 9990 Lightning series which is on the web site) and I made the call to put the Fibre Channel HBA's of my choice into my systems and I also chose the Cisco 9509 switches. Both HDS and Cisco put out documentation regarding compatibility of the HBA's.
So, I would suggest RPS check out the Brocade website or sales people and ask them if they recommend anything.
http://www.brocade.com/products/pdf/Fabric_Aware_Compatibility_Matrix-060521.pdf
states that the option X6768A is supported for Solaris 10.
Sun 9980 will work on most of the HBA's available in the system handbook.
The could be either the rebadged Qlobic or JNI HBA's. You could even use Emulux if you are that way inclined.
My systems are full of dual channel HBA's such as SG-XPCI2FC-QF2.
You should also be aware that the 1280 has only one 66 MHz PCI slot. You can upgrade the I/O boat to all 66 MHz slots if you are after good throughput. The upgrade will also give the opportunity to use the 4 Gb HBA if you can find a system to use them on.
