Blocking all IGMP traffic

Hello,
I?m hoping someone may have the answer to this. I am trying to block ALL types of IGMP traffic on a particular interface on at 3560-24-TS-S.
We have a Summit 5i switch acting as a core switch for 400 users which all (VLAN 3) participate in a multicast group sourced from one of the servers on the same VLAN 3. All the equipment is managed via VLAN 3. From this Summit 5i core switch we have an untagged hand off to a Cisco 3560 - 24-TS-S which also has 400 DIFFERENT users participating in a multicast group sourced from a server physically connected to this Cisco switch but on VLAN 6. All equipment on this switch is also managed via VLAN 3. The problem I believe is that this handoff between the Summit 5i and the Cisco 3560 are having IGMP querying conflicts and it?s causing multicast troubles on both VLAN 3 and VLAN 6. I did setup the port as protected, blocked "unknown" unicast, multicast traffic and issued a no IP IGMP snooping vlan 3. But still having troubles.
I am using IGMP v2 and source filtering is not available until v3 so I am not sure how to block ALL IGMP traffic to try and help isolate this as 2 separate networks but still being managed on the same.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Regards,
Robert

You can try this and control the IGMP queries on a given interface.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat3560/12225see/scg/swmcast.htm#wp1177268
To disable groups on an interface, use the no ip igmp access-group interface configuration command.
This example shows how to configure hosts attached to a port as able to join only group 255.2.2.2:
Switch(config)# access-list 1 255.2.2.2 0.0.0.0
Switch(config-if)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp access-group 1

RV110W Blocks all inbound traffic

I have a RV110W that's been in service since Dec 2012. All Everything is working fine except every month or so the firewall starts blocking all inbound traffic. It does not respond to remote management access. If I reboot the firewall (pwr off/on) everything works correctly for the next month or so and then it begins blocking all inbound traffic again. Local access to the Internet and VPN tunneling are not affected. When it's working, all my rules and port forwarding work correctly. Anybody seen this before?

Block all incoming traffic and Active FTP

Will setting the firewall to Block all incoming traffic break Active FTP Connections?
The firewall will normally dynamically create exceptions for the Connection using the Application Layer Gateway, but will the profile override these?

Hi TribleTrouble,
Do you have any issue about FTP active mode?
If the clients are part of your domain, push the FTP firewall rules via GPO to your clients allowing FTP inbound sockets
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="File Transfer Program" protocol=TCP profile=domain Program=C:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe dir=in action=allow
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="File Transfer Program" protocol=UDP profile=domain Program=C:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe dir=in action=allow

Blocking all ipv6 traffic

Good morning - I have an issue that has happened twice - and I need some advice. I have a 4506 running version 12.2(46)SG. We recently encountered an issue where I BELIEVE the issue to be IPV6 sending out a broadcast storm, and completely flooded the core switch - bad enough that I couldn't even console into the device. After removing all connections that were plugged in when the switch went down. After everything was back up, we found that it was a laptop with ipv6 enabled - exactly the same scenario as last time. What we found after the first incident was that a faulty NIC driver caused the ipv6 broadcast storm.
At any rate, as we do not use IPv6 for anything at all, I want to block all IPv6 traffic. I know there are different ways to do it, but I'm reaching out to see what ideas you may have also...
Thx in advance for any input!

Joel,
If VACLs with IPv6 ACLs are supported on your platform then I would probably use VACLs, as they allow a filter to be applied flatly to the entire VLAN. Your other option would be to configure per-port ACLs which is cumbersome and bloats the configuration unnecessary.
With IPv6 ACLs, be sure to block ICMPv6 explicitly. As far as I remember, some ICMPv6 messages are allowed even if they are not explicitly permitted in the ACL (usually the RD and ND messaging).
If your platform allowed filtering all incoming packets by MAC ACLs, yet another way would be to use VACLs with MAC ACLs, blocking all traffic with the EtherType of 0x86DD. However, newer platforms apply MAC ACLs only to non-IP traffic so they would have no effect on frames carrying IPv6 packets. You need to consult the documentation to your device.
In any way, VACLs would be my personal preferred choice at this point.
Best regards,
Peter

CoreSync.exe blocks all network traffic while (slowly) syncing my Creative Cloud files

Hello folks,
Since the latest Creative Cloud update (I'm using version 1.9.0.465 as of this writing), I've been unable to successfully sync my Creative Cloud Files folder.
First things first, as other forum users have posted elsewhere, when the update installed itself, my Creative Cloud Files folder was moved from my chosen location to its default location (C:\Users\MyUserName) and I've been unable to put it back where I wanted it.
However, more pressingly, I noticed that every time I booted my computer, neither my wife nor I were able to access the Internet. After a couple days' trial and error I realized that Creative Cloud was trying (unsuccessfully) to sync about seven files (totaling about 750MB) to the cloud, and anytime the sync was actively working, my network access was completely blocked. Even the Creative Cloud desktop app itself couldn't access the Internet to authenticate my apps or Typekit fonts.
I have managed to get much smaller files (1MB, 5MB, up to 15MB) to sync successfully, however this takes a really long time, and no one on my network can manage to load a web page on their device until the sync is complete.
Right now I've got syncing paused, and everything on my network is working fine.
For some additional info, I've attached a screen grab of my Networking tab from Task Manager:
The big spikes in that graph are me and my wife loading up tons of web content-- YouTube videos, a million tabs of who-knows-what, all acting normally. Then I hit Resume on CC's sync operation, my activity line clamps way down, and no one can load any Internet content anywhere. After that, I released my computer's IP address from the command prompt, at which point Creative Cloud Desktop returned a connection failure, and I quit the app. When I renewed my IP address, I noticed our network access was still blocked, even though Creative Cloud was not running. I traced the problem back to CoreSync.exe, which had continued running even after I'd quit Creative Cloud. The moment I ended the CoreSync.exe process, everything was back to normal... until I restarted the Creative Cloud app, which in turn restarted CoreSync.exe. It was only after pausing CC's sync operation that we were able to use the Internet again.
So! To sum up, here are my two issues:
Syncing is entirely broken, and prevents everyone on my network from using the Internet while CC spins its wheels.
For some reason, following the same update, I'm unable to change the location of my Creative Cloud Files folder.
Some things I've tried:
Uninstalling & reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop app-- no change
Clearing my archived files on creative.adobe.com in case there was some weird argument happening between my live/syncing files and my archived files-- no change
Manually adding CoreSync.exe to my Windows Firewall whitelist-- no change
Finally, I can recreate this issue on my second computer, running the same version of Creative Cloud but running off wireless instead of Ethernet. Same symptoms-- feed it a file to sync, and everyone's Internet access is gone until the sync operation [eventually] finishes.
I'm completely stumped and very frustrated. I rely heavily on CC's file syncing feature, and as it's the only cloud storage product I'm actually paying for, I'm not willing to abandon it for another service like DropBox. I'm willing to try just about anything-- and in the meantime I'm just wishing Creative Cloud Desktop app updates weren't compulsory; the last build I'd installed here was working perfectly fine.
My basic system specs in case it's helpful:
Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1
2x Intel Xeon E5-2670 @ 2.6GHz
64GB DDR3 RAM
nVidia Quadro 4000
Any insights would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Heyo Dave,
Thanks so much for your reply and suggestions. Here's what I've discovered after some more noodling.
I'm no networking guy, but I can't seem to find anything about my modem or router that would explain why my upstream traffic is being throttled using CC-- especially since it's all the same hardware I was using last week before I updated CC.
In addition, I've tried test uploading a couple of files using DropBox, Google Drive, and WeTransfer.com, and neither process interrupts Internet use on my network.
With all that said, I did go in and pull back my Transfer Speed settings in CC from Maximum to Low, and that made a big difference! Syncing continued to work, and our other network requests were working just fine. I managed to get my upload speed set as high as Medium; High and Maximum both kill my network within seconds of being set.
So I'm not sure what was done to the CC application in this release to supposedly enable us to "Sync Files and Fonts faster" (from the release notes), but whatever it is, it's got my uploads capping at 100Kbps (compared to a minimum 350Kbps using Google Drive) unless no one in my home wants to check their email for the next hour. That's a significant bummer for me, as my After Effects projects regularly swell to ~50MB toward the end of a project.
I'd like to submit a big report here, since really the only variable at play in this situation was the Creative Cloud update. However, unfortunately it looks like the bug report form is down... I'll have to try again later.
In the meantime, if there are any other suggestions for experiments I can run on this beast, I'm happy to oblige and report back in case other folks with similar issues can get some relief!
Thanks again,
Jared

ACLs on Dot11Radio interface blocks ALL traffic

On an AP1220 w/IOS 12.2(11)JA1, all traffic is blocked when an ACL is applied on either the RF interface or the FastE interface, even explicitly permitted traffic. Also, using the "log" command after an ACL line fails to log anything. Below is the ACL I want to apply to the Dot11Radio 0 interface. It blocks ALL traffic:
access-list 100 permit udp any any eq bootpc log
access-list 100 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.1 eq 1723 log
access-list 100 permit gre any host 10.0.0.1 log
access-list 100 deny ip any any log
Here is a test ACL that blocked ALL traffic, as well:
access-list 101 permit udp any any log
access-list 101 permit tcp any any log
access-list 101 permit icmp any any log
access-list 101 permit ip any any log
Both ACLs blocked all traffic and failed to log a single event. If the ACL is removed, everything works. HELP!

It's a known bug CSCec28612 - AP1200 access-list doesnt work on radio int with a log keyword

How to configure DNS server to redirect all web traffic to one external website?

I'd like to use the DNS service on my OS X Server as a way to force all all web traffic to one specific, external website. Not quite sure how to go about configuring it, though - any recommendations?
(BTW, this is, obviously, not our primary DNS server; I intend to silently update the preferred DNS server for users who fail to complete their timesheets in order to force the issue)

Web clients don't generate uniquely-identifiable DNS queries; there's no SRV request or related traffic that you could select on and spoof. So if you do implement this, everything querying the spoofing DNS server will get the spoofed host, or you'll have to spot specific queries that are likely web queries; Facebook, Google, Bing, etc.
If you still want to implement this, then I'd probably replace the DNS server with a runt DNS server (maybe hack dnsmasq or maraDNS, or create yourself a trivial DNS server) and have that always return the specified IP address. This avoids having to hack BIND to be universally authoritative, which is probably on par with hacking a simpler DNS server to always return a fixed IP address, and the latter is probably easier to undo.
A firewall can spot TCP port 80 and port 443 traffic, unlike a DNS server. Firewalling outbound port 80 traffic is more typical of these requests, and either trap that traffic to a specific web page based on the capabilities of the firewall, or the web proxy approach that Camelot suggests. There are folks that tie access into the web proxies into external authentication and related; that'd be able to do what you want. Web proxies are usually combined with firewall blocks, as most sites want only the web proxy to have external access, too. But this is also rather more pieces than a DNS redirect, too.

Blocking all MAC addresses except for the ones you allow

I have a Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point. I want to block all MAC addresses from accessing the access point, except for the ones I've allowed. First I went to the Address Filters page and clicked on Allowed, then listed all the MAC address I want to be able to access the access point. Then I went to the Ethernet Advanced page, and set the Default Multicast Address Filter to Disallowed, and the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Then I went to the AP Radio: Internal Advanced page, clicked on the Advanced Primary SSID Setup link, and set the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Accept Authentication Type is set to Open with Shared and Network-EAP cleared, and the Require EAP check boxes are all cleared.
When using a computer whose MAC address is not listed on the Address Filters page, I am still able to connect to the network through the access point. I am also able to connect to the access point from any pc on my network by entering its IP address in Internet Explorer.
What do I need to do to block any pc without a listed MAC address from connecting to the access point?
Thanks, Jeff

Here's the instructions and URL on how to create an MAC based filter:
Follow these steps to create a MAC address filter:
Step 1 Follow the link path to the Address Filters page.
Step 2 Type a destination MAC address in the New MAC Address Filter: Dest
MAC Address field. You can type the address with colons separating the character pairs
(00:40:96:12:34:56, for example) or without any intervening characters (004096123456, for example).
Note If you plan to disallow traffic to all MAC addresses except
those you specify as allowed, put your own MAC address in the list of allowed MAC
addresses. If you plan to disallow multicast traffic, add the broadcast MAC address
(ffffffffffff) to the list of allowed addresses.
Step 3 Click Allowed to pass traffic to the MAC address or click Disallowed
to discard traffic to the MAC address.
Step 4 Click Add. The MAC address appears in the Existing MAC Address
Filters list. To remove the MAC address from the list, select it and click Remove.
Step 5 Click OK. You return automatically to the Setup page.
Step 6 Click Advanced in the AP Radio row of the Network Ports section at
the bottom of the Setup page for the radio you want to configure. The AP Radio Advanced page appears.

Block all ip addresses except one

I want to block all ip addresses except one from connecting to the computer. Is there a device (firewall) for the same?

Hi,
If you have an existing firewall and the traffic destined for that host is going through the firewall then naturally you can use the firewall to block the traffic. The firewall however wont be able to control the traffic between the devices in the same network.
It would seem to me though that you are probably looking for something to enable blocking connections on a certain host/PC from all but one source IP address. This would sound more like a situation where you would use some software on the host/PC itself to control the access.
Cant say much more with the provided information which was minimal.

Why WRT54G ver 7 blocks all UDP broadcasts?

My WRT54G seems to be blocking all UDP broadcasts in the intranet side. Is there an option somewhere, which controls this behaviour, because I have not found one.
It does not matter, if I connect my laptop with a cable or by WLAN, no UDP broadcast packets from my server to the laptop go through.
If I connect to either one of my regular switches, UDP broadcast works perfectly.
Note that I'm not using the WAN port at all, so I would expect no filtering on the traffic.

Interesting!
For sake of argument, can you try using the broadcast address of 255.255.255.255 - this is a limited (local network only) broadcast.
Can you see the MAC (layer 2/ethernet) portion with your tool?
The MAC of the destination needs to be all FFs (all ones) for broadcasts.
I am wondering if something is happening at a lower level - like in how switching is implemented in the linksys. I wonder if a linksys switch (only) also does this.
NOTE - ICMP echo (PINGS) do go through my WRV54G to specific addresses and broacdcast the x.x.x.255 addresses.

The issue I am having is that this is blocking all traffic through the device, accept for traffic on port 443 HTTPS. I am able to load pages that are directed to HTTPS. Is there an issue with how I have this configuration setup, or is there an issue with the firmware?
Thanks
Robert

Hi Robert,
I am using the setup described in your email below but not able to reproduce the issue reported. I have tried some sites and able to browse successfully. Few are the examples:
www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, www.apple.com, www.cnn.com, www.facebook.com, www.ebay.com, www.amazon.com
I did see some advertisements frames got blocked in some websites as well as advertisement sites like www.craigslist.com been blocked due to 'Computers/Harmful' category selected for URL filtering.
Can you let me know some sites that are blocked in your setup. Also which browser are you using for your http traffic.
Thanks,
Nitin.

How do I direct all internet traffic I on my firefox portable browser I use at school, through to my computer at home, so I can use my modem as a proxy?

My school has a web filter that prevents me from accessing any website I want to at school, and I want to get past it.
I know, from experience, that I can use a program called Ultrasurf to get around this, though it requires me to use IE, and is inconvenient.
I want to know if it's possible to configure the proxy settings on Firefox (and some on my modem/router, and/or computer at home), in order to direct all my traffic through my router at home, similarly to how one would use a proxy.
If so, how is this possible?
(I'm relatively experienced with computers, but have very little programming, and other complex knowledge of the workings of these things)
At home, my computer is running 64 bit Windows 7, has 4 GB of RAM, a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and can be turned on and online 24/7, such that if necessary, it can direct traffic sent to it.
My router/modem at home is (I believe) a Westell 327W, I can get more information by looking at it later if necessary.
At school, as of last year (and probably the same this year), the computers run Windows XP, and I am able to run programs installed on a flash drive on them, though cannot actually install programs on the computers themselves.
I'll be using whatever the latest (not beta) version of Firefox Portable exists when I return to school in a week.

F110 Blocking all Invoices on a Vendor due to one Un-released PO.

Hi All,
We are implementing Vendor Downpayment functionality. I have done all the configuration and we did not activate the business object LOG_MMFI_P2P. We are just using the conventional Vendor Downpayment functionality. We get POs created from SRM. I am getting an error message when I am trying to run Payment run for a vendor for which I have created multiple PO's. Few PO's have Down Payment requests and few do not have. For one PO I created an invoice twice the amount of PO amount, so it went on unreleased status in SRM. Then when I ran the Payment run F110 for that vendor, the payment run is blocking all the other Invoices as well even though they are for different PO's.
Here is what I did
1) Created a PO for $100 from SRM
2) Created a Down Payment request of 50$ for that PO in F-47 and did not process the down payment. Now I processed MIGO for 100$, then created an invocie for 100$. Now i have created another invoice for $100 and posted that invoice. It went on payment block and i released the Payment block for that invoice in MRBR. Since the invoice amount is greater than PO amount in SRM the PO went on un released status and same in SAP as well.
3) Parallely I have created few other PO's and Invoices for the same vendor without any down payment requests.
4) Now when I ran F110 for this vendor, due to the unrelased status of one single PO, all other invoices are getting blocked in F110 run. I am not sure why is this happening, any help would be greatly appreciated.
The errors I am getting are
Purchasing document XXXX not yet released
Purchase order XXXXX (assigned to an account) not permitted
Information re. vendor XXXX/ paying company code XXX...
Message no. ME390
Message no. FZ356
Thanks,
Uday

Hi Ramesh,
Strange error..
anyways, you have option in Payment Tab to Individual Payment. This will consider each individual posting a separate payment.
Thanks,
Deepanshu

How can I get Verizon to block all outgoing messages on my email?

My email was apparently hacked, it is the main account that I have used for the past seven years and all of my bill notifications and important things come to this address. I have changed the password repeatedly, run several scans on my main computer, laptop, kindle fire, and cell phone (every device I access the email on) using Norton and Norton Power Eraser on the computers. Nothing showing up.
I chatted with support just now asking them to block all outgoing email and they said it isn't possible and I find that impossible to believe. I am seeing all kinds of messages here saying that people are being blocked but I can't add an email address to that list? I need to keep it active for inbound email for a month or so just to make sure that I haven't missed any bill notices or other important stuff. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Pretty hard to do without shutting down the account.
Assuming you have properlly changed your password, and checked your PC and other devices for viruses/trojatns/etc. Then the person using your email is probably NOT even using Verizon. \
Unfortunately the basic SMTP protocol is totally different then most people think. Who you say you are is not a protected value and you can say you are anyone, yes verizon's servers when initially accepting input do check, but that is about it. And the displayed sender and addresses in the smtp protocol do not have to match any text in the mail. that you see.

I am recieving calls from a solicitor. Show up as no caller Id. I want to block all calls that do not show caller Id. Can I do that? I am on the do not call list

How do I block all in coming calls that do not show on my caller Id. Phone says "no caller id" This particular call is from a place selling septic tank cleaner. They leave an automated voice mail. They are calling me over and over. I am on the national do not call list but that's no help. Because the caller id doesn't show anything I can't even report them.
I remember in the past calling a number and before my call would go thru I would have to enter my phone number so the party I was calling knew who was calling them. That is what I want to do. I want to block all calls from "no caller id" "number unavailable" Just FYI my phone is an IPHONE 5 and I am on Verizon.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

itbitybob, good day!
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us today. I know how frustrating it can be getting phone calls from "no caller id" numbers. We do have an option that is called Family Base that will allow you to block unknown numbers, private numbers, or caller id. This link will provide you with the full details of this option. http://vz.to/1gIklla I hope this is able to answer your question. If you have further questions please feel free to reach back out to us at any time.
