Blocking on a Router

I have enabled blocking on a router to fire when a certain sig fires. this has been working for a while, I can see the ACL on the router with the host being denied access,so I know that it has been working. The sig fired today and the host was added to the ACL on the router - so it should be blocked, right? After I verified that the host was added to the ACL on the router and through the IDM I still receive e-mails on this sig firing with the same host that was supposedly blocked when it first came in. Does the IPS still log events if though the attacker is being blocked?

Once the host was added to the ACL I was receiving alerts 10-20 minutes after the fact.
When you setup a router for the IPS to manage and you put in all of the login, IP and ACL info. Is there anything you have to do to make the ACL active on the router to deny or allow traffic? The only thing that I can think of is to assign it to an interface on the router but that was done when setting up the blocking device through IDM right?

Parallel participants blocks in External Routing Service

I'm trying to configure an External Routing service (it implements IAssignmentService interface) as described in Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite[1].
The assignment stage configuration needed: one or more parallel participants blocks in the same stage, each one configured with different participants and voting rules.
The CustomAssignmentService below shows my custom External Routing Service: when I try to add two or more parallel participants, only the first one it is assigned to the task.
I haven't found documentation: how can I implement parallel participants blocks in External Routing Service?

Blocking on external router

Hi,
i want to configure blocking on external router for some specfic signature, i already have access list on the outside interface to block some traffic and fragment packets with the name ACL_Router_External applied on interface outisde (G0/0)
when i configure blocking on IPS it create another ACL and applied to interface same interface in order to block.
how can i push ACL configuration from IPS to exisiting ACL (ACL_Router_External) ???
thanks

From the link that I posted, here are the steps that the IPS takes when building the ACL:
When the sensor starts up, it reads the contents of the two ACLs. It creates a third ACL with the following entries:
•A permit line for the sensor IP address
•Copies of all configuration lines of the Pre-Block ACL
•A deny line for each address being blocked by the sensor
•Copies of all configuration lines of the Post-Block ACL
The sensor applies the new ACL to the interface and direction that you designate.
In your case, you could use the ACL_Router_External as your Post-Block ACL. The IPS will add a permit for itself and a deny entry for the address being blocked. It will then append the existing ACL_Router_External entries that you already have configured before pushing the new combined ACL to the g0/0 interface.

Messages from my computer being blocked by my router

I keep seeing the following messages in my routers log. They are only coming from my powerbook's IP:
[INFO] Sat Apr 01 22:56:44 2006 Blocked outgoing TCP packet from <my ip:port> to <an outside ip:port> as RST:ACK received but there is no active connection
[INFO] Sat Apr 01 22:55:40 2006 Blocked outgoing TCP packet from <my ip:port> to <outside ip:port> as FIN:ACK received but there is no active connection
They aren't occasional. Last night i show almost 70 in a row to only two ips over ten minutes. I wasn't able to trace these 2. I've been noticing this for a couple days, but I am sure thats just because I have been looking. A few i have been able to use the network utility and find out the domain and some of those have been sites I had been looking at in Safari. Others were not.
What is my computer doing? Mine seems to be the only ip registering this kind of activity in my router's log.
Powerbook G4 1.5ghz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I should have asked what the destination port is...
but anyway, have you tried running tcpdump to see the
traffic? It might provide a clue. If you're not
familiar with it, you will have to open a Terminal
window and type:
sudo tcpdump -v
and enter the administrative password when prompted.
To get more detail, add more "v"s, e.g.
sudo tcpdump -vvv
will give you lots of information.
Thanks. I will try. I'm not familiar with the Terminal at all though.

Website Block on wrt610n Router

Hi sir ,
i would like to a ask a step how to block a specific website with a specific time (office hours) for example "facebook" i want to block facebook within 8AM - 12Noon then 12-1 they can access the website, then 1-4 block again the website . thank you

The Access Restrictions feature of a Linksys router allows you to limit Internet access on your network. You can deny certain computers’ Internet access or block certain applications and services.
Here is the link for setting up Access Restrictions on a Linksys router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=20b29e54474a4a17aff594cb659747ea_4041.xml&pid=80&r...

AE on Windows 7 seems to block my netgear router wireless interent?? - HELP

Hi,
I have just bought a Airport Express and set it up using the a Windows 7 PC and only tou use to stream music through a set of speakers.
However, when I have set up my AE, the music streams fine, but all my previous products (laptop, ipad, iphone etc) all needed to reconnect to my previous wireless network. Once I have done this, all my items are running fine adn the music streams.
However, the airport express every so often just drops out and starts flashing orange, also when I unplug the airport express stops working or is unplugged my laptop, ipad, and iphone wireless stops working even though my netgear wireless router is still turned on and working fine.
Does anyone know why this is, any repsonses/answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hello Tommy B 21. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Per chance is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in a different room than your wireless Netgear router?
If so, it is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing the AX from getting a good clean signal from the Netgear to stay connected.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
o NetStumbler
o WiFi Hopper
o WiFi Owl

Blocking p2p on router 877

Hi,
Can anyone suggest how can I effectively block p2p traffic like Ares, Limewire or other with Cisco IOS 12.4(6) or higher? I tried NBAR but I guess there is no PDLM available for Ares for instance.
Many thanks for any suggestions.
Remi

Hi,
to block p2p traffic you need to block all ports except these you really need.
For example block all ports except http, https, smtp, pop3, dns.
Becouse some of the p2p applications use port 80 to connect there is an options in firewall(classic or Zone-Based Policy Firewall) called protocol-violation and port-missue!
This options prevent non-HTTP traffic over port 80.
For Zone-Based Firewall reffer to this link:

IDS shunning - IDS can't blocking via Cisco Router

Hello all.
I've configured IDS to shun with cisco router. I think all of setting fine, but IDS can't configure acl on the router via telnet.
Here is the output from ids using sh statistics networkAccess.
if you see the output, the state is Inactive.
Could you please let me know why the state is falling down inactive..
regards,
John.
IDS# sh statistics networkAccess
Current Configuration
AllowSensorShun = false
ShunMaxEntries = 250
NetDevice
Type = Cisco
IP = 192.168.1.10
NATAddr = 0.0.0.0
Communications = telnet
ShunInterface
InterfaceName = serial0/0
InterfaceDirection = in
State
ShunEnable = true
NetDevice
IP = 192.168.1.10
AclSupport = uses Named ACLs
State = Inactive <-- why???
IDS#

This means the sensor had a problem either connecting to or reconfiguring the router.
What to do:
Configure network access to Disable Shunning and apply the changed config.
Now configure network access to Enable Shunning again and apply the changd config.
This will cause the network access controller to disconnect from the router and try to connect again.
Check the network access statistic and see if it is still inactive.
If it is then execute "show events past 00:10:00 to see all events in the past 10 minutes. Find the status event where you applied the change to Enable Shunning again, and start looking at the later events. Search for error or status events that might show what errors the network access controller was running in to.
Typical causes: Wrong username or password. Sensor is not able to telnet to the router because either the router is not reachable from the sensor IP, or the router does not have telnet enabled, or the router's access list prevents the sensor from connecting.
Other things you can check:
Create a service account on the sensor.
Login through the service account.
From the service account try to telnet to the router using the same username and password configured in the network access controller configuration on the sensor.
And see if you can get into the router.
You might also try running a sniffer between the router and sensor and monitor the connection. You can look for any error message coming back from the router, or at least see where in the connection the sensor is stopping.

Setting Up Website Blocking on WRT310N Router

I need some help setting up website blocking. I have set up access restrictions for selected times and days but I also want to set up access restrictions for webistes. Perhaps I'm just not clear on how this is supposed to work - I created a policy called 'Site' and then enter the URL in the website blocking area. The options under the 'Access Restrictions' area are either 'Allow' or 'Deny' - intuitively one would assume the selection should be 'Deny' since this policy is to block access to specific URL's. However, if I click 'Deny' and then save, then the URL's I just entered are cleared. However, if I select 'Allow' then I am essentially giving 24hour access every day to my computers (but blocking the URLs), which then seems to go against the access restrictions I set up for selected times and days. Perhaps these two policies are mutually exclusive but it does not seem clear that it is.
Can someone give me some guidance on how this is supposed to work because it just does not appear to be intuiative to me - FYI, I'm somewhat technical but I must be missing something here. HELP!

You need to create 2 different policies. The policy for hours/days should be separate from the website blocking policy. For hours/days, you should select “Deny” and select the time or day that the computers would not be able to access internet. Click save settings. After doing so, create policy # 2, put a policy name, select allow, check Everyday, check 24 hours and in the URL boxes, type the website you want to block. You can also block by keyword, just enter the keyword in the “Website Blocking by Keyword” boxes. Click save settings after. Now you already configured 2 policies that should work hand in hand.
Note: You should enable the 2 policies setup.

Should I block icmp on my edge router or my firewall?

Originally, we were blocking icmp traffic on our edge router (2811), but recently we changed this to block on the firewall (ASA) instead. I've been told that blocking on the router would cause too much overhead on the router, since it's now having to inspect all traffic, and the firewall was better equipped for this.
What is industry standard? What does Cisco recommend?

Something like this, although I would recommend posting this to the firewall forum for confirmation.
! deny non-initial ICMP Fragments
access-list 101 deny icmp any any fragments
! permit "dest unreachable" messages
access-list 101 permit icmp any any 3
! permit "Time exceeded" message
access-list 101 permit icmp any any 11
! permit "source quench" message
access-list 101 permit icmp any any 4
! permit "parameter problem" message
access-list 101 permit icmp any any 12
! permit "echo reply" messages
access-list 101 permit icmp any any 0
! deny all other icmp
access-list 101 deny icmp any any
You might consider tightening up the destination unreachables too. They would look something like this for each type and code you want to allow:
! permit "dest unreach - port unreach" messages
acccess-list 101 permit icmp any any 3 3

My router is blocking ports on PS3 - Bad Company - Can't Create Squads. WRT160Nv3

Hey Guys,
I have read every where that the best thing to do is "dmz" my router or something of that nature. I'm a complete noobie when it comes to this sort of thing. I don't know how to assign a Static IP. I don't know if this means I have to call my ISP too assign me a Static IP or if I just have to assign an IP to my PlayStation and then Add that IP too the Router? Ugh, I'm just lost when It comes to this stuff. I need a simple BreakDown. If anyone can give me one.?.
I get a NAT - 2 connetion. 97% Signal Strength. 14 MB up 1 MB Down. The only thing I can't do *that I know of so far* is create my own squad in Bad company, People just get an error. I can join squads, at least certain squads. I assume the squads I can't join are ones that are on routers and have the same problem as myself.
I assume that this is because ports are being blocked by the router. I asked the guy who installed my internet if they Blocked ports and he said they don't block ports. So I assume it's the router. Can anyone help me Unblock the ports on my router.....like " Unblocking your ports for dummies "
Thanks in advance.

Follow this link and it will provide you all the information how to assign a Static IP on your PS3 as well as how to open the Ports for your PS3 on your Router.

Add Wireless N Router To Network With An Actiontec Router

Hi everyone, I know this wireless N thing is being beaten to death but I just really need to be pointed in the right direction. I recently built a HTPC setup with a SiliconDust HD Homerun network tuner so I could share three tuners with computers on my network. I've got two PCs wired to the network right now which share them fine. But the problem I'm running into is when I try to set up my laptop to watch something wirelessly, usually a game in HD. The signal is very weak and I constantly lose the tuners because of that, not to mention the picture is very choppy. I saw on a Microsoft Windows Media Center site that they don't recommend streaming HD TV feeds over anything other than a wireless N connection. I currently have the standard Actiontec router that came with FiOS, and it doesn't the N band. Now, that router accesses the internet signal through a coax so I know I can't get rid of it, but I've seen mentioned in a couple of places that you can just add a wireless N router into the network and turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router. This is the router I was thinking of getting:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cisco+Linksys+-+E1200+Wireless-N+Router+with+4-Port+Ethernet+Switch/2225...
My current network setup is like this: Actiontec router upstairs which carries internet to -> a gigabit switch connected to -> computer, tuners, and printer upstairs, with a line run to -> another gigabit switch downstairs which connects to -> a computer, and an XBox.
So a couple of questions about this:
- Where would this go on the network? Would it go after the router and before the switches, like I run the internet into the new router then out to the switch, or can I just add it to one of the switches?
- Will I need to do any sort of port forwarding or anything, or assiging of IP addresses?
- Anything else I should know or might run into?
I love my FiOS service so hopefully this will help me get even more out of it!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wanted to upgrade to an N protocol wireless router but since Verizon doesn’t offer the option, I purchased a Netgear N600. Unfortunately, after it arrived, I discovered that it didn’t have a coax connection as did the Verizon Actiontec. I then set out to find out how to daisy chain the routers to leave the Actiontec connected to the coax and connect the two routers via Ethernet cable. To my good fortune, during the time I spent on the phone with Netgear, I learned my way around their router interface and with the help of a co-worker that actually has a solid understanding of router/network configuration, I finally got everything working correctly – my port forwarding for RDC login worked, I could connect devices to either router and everything could once again see each other (e.g. PC, printer via Ethernet, Blu-ray player for Netflix, receiver for streaming Windows Media Player). Hopefully, this post will help you get up and running quickly and avoid the several hours I spent groping in the dark for the correct configuration.
Login to Verizon Actiontec router (type 192.168.1.1 into browser address bar).
No configuration changes are necessary on the Actiontec, you just need to identify an open IP address range in My Network section (I chose 192.168.1.50). This will be used as your static IP address of the Netgear router LAN settings.
Connect you PC via Ethernet cable directly into an Ethernet port (not WAN/Internet) on the Netgear router. No other connections are needed at this point.
Note: Do not use the Netgear wizard CD to setup the router. It will not take you through the necessary steps as you’re not setting it up as a router.
Login to the Netgear router (type routerlogin.net into the browser address bar) using the default login of “admin” and password “password”. Depending on your firmware version, your interface may vary but hopefully you’ll be able to find the same configuration options in either but perhaps not in the same order or placement. For subsequent logins after the router is active, you may need to type the Netgear IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.50) as routerlogin.net may open a search.
At the top of the Netgear genie, click on the Advanced tab.
On the left side, expand Setup, then select Internet Setup.
Select “Get dynamically from ISP”, under Internet IP Address.
Under Domain Name Server (DNS) Address, select “Use These DNS Servers”, and enter the IP Address of your Actiontec router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) in the Primary DNS” field.
Next go down a few options within Setup to Wireless Setup.
In the Wireless Network 2.4GHz section, click Enable SSID broadcast.
Enter a meaningful name in “Name (SSID)” as this is what will be displayed for your wireless connection.
For Channel, select Auto.
For Mode, select “Up to 300 Mbps”.
Security Options, recommend WPK2-PSK[AES] for longer/stronger password options.
Set the password of your choice.
Repeat the same process for Wireless Network 5GHz, except vary the name slightly so you’ll be able to distinguish which band you’ll connect to. You can optionally use the same or different password as your 2.4GHz. The only exception is you’ll have to select a Channel of your choice.
Next go down a couple more options within Setup to the LAN Setup.
In the LAN TCP/IP Setup section, enter the IP Address you chose in step 2 (e.g. 192.168.1.50).
Enter the IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Leave the block for “Use Router as DHCP Server” blank as your IP assignment will be handled by your Actiontec router.
You’re now finished with the configuration and you can connect the Actiontec router to the Netgear router using an Ethernet cable using the LAN ports (Note: do not connect the two routers using the WAN/Internet ports on either). You may connect your devices (PC, printers, A/V devices, etc.) to either router. If you have devices that are gigabit capable, you’ll want to connect them to the Netgear router to take advantage of the higher speed.
To avoid any possible interference between the 2.4GHz range of the two routers, you can optionally turn off the Actiontec wireless capability by logging into the Actiontec router admin (described above), go to the My Router tab, and there should be an option for “Change Wireless Settings” in the Quick Links section. Option 1 allows you to turn On/Off the wireless portion of the router.

Router interfering with Facetime, but only on one computer

Hey all,
I have a tricky problem here. I've been having issues with Facetime working on my desktop. It would work for a short moment (when first booted, or after turning facetime off and on again) before it would stop receiving or making calls properly. After much tinkering, I solved the issue by placing the desktop in the router's DMZ (outside of the firewall) and now it works flawlessly and can make and receive calls without any issues.
So my question is: Why is this only the case with the desktop? All the other devices I have (macbook pro, ipad, iphone) all have facetime working perfectly without the need to place them in the DMZ at all, yet the desktop is having trouble with my router?
The only difference is that the other devices are all connected through the router's Wifi while the desktop is plugged in by ethernet, if that helps at all. I just can't seem to figure out why this one device is having trouble with Facetime connected to the same router as all the other ones.
The router in question is a D-Link DIR-615.

Correction: Turns out, the same problem does occur with the Macbook Pro I have....
So basically, only the ipad and iphone seem to be able to operate flawlessly without interference. Both computers are being blocked by the router's firewall. Tried port forwarding... that didn't fix it. Only works when the computer is placed in DMZ.
So then the question is: Why both the iPad and iPhone have no issues with this but the two Macs do?

Connecting Samsung BD-C6500 wireless DVD to WRT160N v2 router

The Samsung device connects to the router but WILL NOT connect to the internet saying that the HTTP port is blocked. HTTP port is not blocked in the router as best I can tell. I have upgraded the firmware and reset to factory defaults. My TIVO and two wireless computers all connect to the internet just fine.
I had one Samsung DVD player that initially connected via the router. It downloaded info and I watched Netflix movies. then it stopped connecting and when I attempted to reconfigure the IP, DNS, etc it started giving me this type of error. I replaced the player with a new one but I get the same" HTTP blocked" error message...this player also initially appeared to connect to the internet but then stopped moments later. ISP says there are no problems on their end. Samsung says its the router or the ISP not their machine.
HELP

Well if you are getting that error message on your Samsung DVD Player then you can try to open the HTTP Port on your router an check if its working or not.
To open the ports on your Router, you need to login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Application and Gaming tab and below under "Port Forwarding"
Application Name Start Port End Port Protocol IP Address Enable
Samsung 80 80 BOTH IP of Samsung DVD Player Enable.
And click on Save Settings...
Once are done then unplug the power from the router and modem, wait for 30sec and then first plug the power to the modem and once all the lights are lid on the Modem then you can plug the power to the Linksys Router.
Now you can check if you are getting the same error message on your Samsung DVD Player.
