Branch Office setup

Hello All.
I have a problem with a branch office setup, and I can't for the life of me think of what the problem is.
I have a remote office setup, using an ASA 5505 that is set up to establish an easy vpn connection to the central network.  The connection at the branch office is a 20/5 cable modem, the central network has a 25/25 fiber connection.
The issue I have is this.  Wired clients work fine at this branch office, at least 95% of the time.  I have a lightweight AP there that can come up and join the controllers at the central network, no problem.  I haven't done anything with H-REAP because there are really no resources locally they need that would allow them to do their work, so all traffic is tunneled back to the WLC.
Wireless clients can authenticate to the AP, and I can get 15-20ms ping responses from them all day.  Latency never comes close to the 600ms proposed limit with CAPWAP.  Yet, for some reason the performance of the clients is problematic.  Webpages will frequently not load correctly, they experience some freezing, and with one application we use - it refuses to load completely.
If we bring these same computers to an AP connected to our central network, on the same SSID, they work flawlessly.
Something about this particular location is causing a lot of grief for our users.
For what it's worth, we are running WCS 7.0.230.0 and the WLCs are on 7.0.116.0.  The ASA is running a pretty basic configuration, pretty much out of the box with the easy vpn configuration entered.
Any help on this would be appreciated, I am at my wit's end with this setup.

Yes, 20/5 Download/Upload. 
So I did as you suggested, here are the results with a 1400 byte packet:
Ping statistics for 172.16.253.50:
    Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 99, Lost = 1 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 17ms, Maximum = 2208ms, Average = 42ms
That 2208ms response was an anomaly.  I ran it again and got this:
Ping statistics for 172.16.253.50:
    Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 100, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 16ms, Maximum = 93ms, Average = 21ms
With this one specific application we're testing with - it stops loading at a predictable point, every time.  However, I can remain VNC'd to this machine the entire time, and do anything else on the machine, but the application will fail to load at the same point every time.  But like I said, if I bring that client back to our main network, it works just fine, so it's not the application itself causing the problem, and we have other, smaller issues with other applications we have.  It's really bizarre.
It's really not acting like interference.  I just set up a new site with an identical configuration - but with a 3502i AP, and I can replicate the behavior at that location too.  Unfortunately at this time we don't have anything to study the traffic with - I actually have a call on a solution for that this afternoon.

    - to advance, changed in table mobileclient.c$etc_passwd with userpassword instead of null. somehow seems that heliossSession class, in initconvis method is comparring password from the file with that one, that is null. I don't know all the implications of this.

  • Branch office setup with L3 switch and router with IOS security

    Hello,
    I am in the process of putting together a small branch office network and I am in need of some design advise. The network will support about 10-15 workstations/phones, 3-4 printers, and 4-5 servers. In addition we will eventually have up to 25-30 remote users connecting to the servers via remote access VPN, and there will also be 2-3 site-to-site IPSec tunnels to reach other branches.
    I have a 2911 (security bundle) router and 3560 IP Base L3 switch to work with. I have attached a basic diagram of my topology. My initial design plan for the network was to setup separate VLANs for workstation, phone, printer, and server traffic. The 3560 would then be setup with SVIs to perform routing between VLANs. The port between the router and switch would be setup as a routed port, and static routes would be applied on the switch and router as necessary. The thought behind this was that I'd be utilizing the switch backplane for VLAN routing instead instead of doing router-on-a-stick.
    Since there is no firewall between the switch and router my plan was to setup IOS firewalling on the router. From what I am reading ZBF is my best option for this. What I was hoping for was a way to set custom policies for each VLAN, but it seems that zones are applied per interface. Since the interface between the router and switch is a routed interface, not a trunk/subinterface(s), it doesn't seem like there would be a way for me to use ZBF to control traffic on different VLANs. From what I am gathering I would have to group all of my internal network into one zone, or I would have to scrap L3 switching all together and do router-on-a-stick if I want to be able to set separate policies for each VLAN. Am I correct in my thinking here?
    I guess what I am getting at is that I really don't want to do router-on-a-stick if I have a nice switch backplane to do all of the internal routing. At the same time I obviously need some kind of firewalling done on the router, and since different VLANs have different security requirements the firewalling needs to be fairly granular.
    If I am indeed correct in the above thinking what would be the best solution for my scenario? That is, how can I setup this network so that I am utilizing the switch to do L3 routing while also leveraging the firewall capabilities of IOS security?
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Austin

    Thanks for the input.
    1. I agree, since I have only three to four printers, they need not be in a separate VLAN. I simply was compartmentalizing VLANs by function when I initially came up with the design.
    2. Here's a little more info on the phone situation. The phones are VoIP. The IP PBX is on premise, but they are currently on a completely separate ISP/network. The goal in the future is to converge the data and voice networks and setup PBR/route maps to route voice traffic out the voice ISP and data traffic out the other ISP. This leads up to #3. 
    3. The reason a router was purchased over a firewall was that ASA's cannot handle routing and dual ISPs very well. PBR is not supported at all on an ASA, and dual ISPs can only be setup in an active/standby state. Also, an ASA Sec+ does not have near the VPN capabilities that the 2911 security does. The ASA Sec+ would support only 25 concurrent IPSec connections while the 2911 security is capable of doing an upwards of 200 IPSec connections.
    Your point about moving the SVI's to a firewall to perform filtering between VLANs makes sense, however, wouldn't this be the same thing as creating subinterfaces on a router? In both cases you are moving routing from the switch backplane to the firewall/routing device, which is what I am trying to avoid.

  • Simulating small branch office in lab network

    Hi,
    I have to setup what seems to be a very basic configuration, but it doesn't work.
    In our lab there is a cluster of switches with a 3550 that does all the routing for vlans.
    I need to simulate a sort of a small branch office that has one connection
    to the outside world (the lab network).
    Here is my design:
    Vlan 230 (the internet)
    A port on 3550 is in vlan 230 and is connected to e0/0 (172.26.230.150) on 2611 router.
    e0/1 interface on a 2611 is (192.168.1.1).
    A PC is connected to e0/1 (192.168.1.12).
    From the router I can ping any host on vlan 230 and other vlans,
    I can also ping the pc connected to e0/1.
    However from the PC I can only ping 192.168.1.1(e0/1) and 172.26.230.150 (e0/0)
    Below is my configuration
    Thanks for your help.
    R2611-1#sh run
    Building configuration...
    Current configuration:
    version 12.0
    service timestamps debug uptime
    service timestamps log uptime
    no service password-encryption
    hostname R2611-1
    ip subnet-zero
    ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.9
    ip dhcp pool 192.168.1
       network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
       default-router 192.168.1.1
    interface Ethernet0/0
    ip address 172.26.230.150 255.255.255.0
    no ip directed-broadcast
    no ip mroute-cache
    no mop enabled
    interface Ethernet0/1
    ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
    no ip directed-broadcast
    no ip mroute-cache
    ip classless
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.26.230.1
    ip http server
    no scheduler allocate
    end

    You are not performing nat on the router.
    This is typically required on a box which provides internet connectivity.
    Probably the other hosts on vlan 230 have no route back to the pc on 192.168.1.1
    Configuring nat on the router will resolve this problem.

  • Windows 8.1 laptop not connecting to domain in branch office

    We have a problem with a laptop. 
    It is installed in our Head office (The Netherlands), just like all other laptops by using an image.
    Tested and working on the domain.
    The user had to go to one of our branch offices (China) and when he connected there, the laptop just won't connect to the domain.
    When he plugged in the laptop, it keeps trying to connect it's directaccess.
    Other laptops (same image) immediately recognize the domain network, but this laptop just won't.
    I am able to ping everything on the local network (MPLS connection), from HQ to all Branch offices but not access them.
    I've tried changing the DNS settings, but without any result.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    According to this tool's description, I think it should be helpful to check system current enviroment, such as network, certificates, etc. problem. Actually according to your description, I doubt it probably network enviroment of ISP problem, but we should
    find a way to verify our suspect. Then this tool would be convenient, it also would generate a trace log and it would be helpful with troubleshooting.
    The DirectAccess Client Troubleshooting Tool is a graphical application, based on the .NET Framework, which checks the health of a DirectAccess client by running various tests.  Built-in health tests: The following tests are currently implemented:
    Network interfaces Network location (NLS and NRPT DNS) IP connectivity (6to4, Teredo, IPHTTPS, entry point in a multisite setup, DNS) Windows Firewall (applied profile, Firewall outbound rules) Certificates (EKU Client Authentication, trust chain for AIA and
    CRL) IPsec infrastructure tunnel (Domain SysVol share) IPsec intranet tunnel (PING and HTTP probes) Additional features Run post-check script (PowerShell, VBScript, BAT or CMD file)

  • Branch Office Connectivity

    hi
    we have firewall setup in our main office with following setup:
    we are running DC on Windows 2008 Servers with MS Exchange 2010, lync 2010 and ip phone as well.
    planning to setup AD replication to our branch offices for network drive access and group policy update; kindly advice on this.

    Hi
     i think you mean about best practice topology.
    First of all,you will add Additional Domain Controllers on your branch offices.Also This ADC will have DNS,DHCP role based.And will deploy a File server.
    Important point is structure you want to build.
    This is a detailed article about domain topologies, So please check this article about your questions;

  • Branch Office Mail Server?

    I have Mac OS X providing mail services to about 100 users at a main office. We are opening a branch office with 20-30 users. I'm wondering if it is possible to setup another mail server for the branch office using the same domain. The users at the branch office are moderately heavy users who will often deal with lots of attachments. I would like them to have an IMAP server that is local to them for better performance and to reduce traffic on the main office network.
    I thought I'd give it a try. There's a field called "Mail Server" on the mail tab of WGM for each user. I put the address of the branch office server in that field. However, the main office server keeps the messages in its own mailstore. So, what's this field for? It doesn't seem to do anything.
    I see a way to accomplish this by editing the postfix alias file for each user and adding a line for each branch office user like branchofficeuser: [email protected] but that wouldn't be so nice if I ever have to turn over administration of these servers to someone else.
    Is there any way to distribute mail for users of the same domain across more than one IMAP server without resorting to entering aliases to subdomains for each user?

  • Branch Office Install

    Hello,
    My client is planning on deploying branch office and is hitting
    the limit of 16 concurrent users. They need about 20-25
    concurrent users.
    Can branch office me installed more than once on the
    same server? Is this a supported configuration?
    thanks in advance,
    mike

    Hi
    You will need to make sure all the ports are open for traffic to move between both DC's. Also need to check that you dont have replication problems, IE, slow link. First step would be to see if you can ping the HO DC from the branch, then once you have established
    that you have all the ports open and your VLAN is routing traffic correctly then you can start with your DC setup.
    You can first upgrade your DC, look at this blog:

  • Proper Configuration of DNS server for our new branch office

    Hi All,
    Our new office will setup a new branch office with a routed network link to our HO. In HO, we have 2 domain controllers configured as AD and DNS just for fail over scenarios.
    How will we configure the DNS server of our 3rd domain controller which we will placed in the new branch office. What would be the proper settings of DNS server integrated to AD to work well especially to have a successful replication and communication to
    the 2 DC's located in HO?

    Hi,
    If you have multiple DC's in that site i would recommend using any of the partner DC's IP addresses as preferred one and secondary DNS IP to pointing to itself. Dont use loopback addresses configure it with actual IP addresses.
    If you have only one server in branch office point itself as the primary DNS and HO DC as secondary and tertiary.
    Make sure that all clients in your branch site are pointing to the branch DC as primary DNS server.

  • New Branch Office Opening. Active Directory Options

    Hello.
    Our company has a new branch site in Canada that's been in operation for some time now. the "admin" of that branch office is wanting to setup 2 new domain controllers, i was going to suggest that we could add a Canada site via Active directory
    sites and services and configure it that way.
    he suggested that he would like the to have a separate domain name, for instance if we're contoso.co.uk, they want to be contoso.ca
    is the best option in this situation to have them setup there own domain and then just federate between them?
    i have good experience with AD but as were a small company (geographically) so i have little knowledge of multi site / federation topology.
    any suggestions would be most welcome. 
    Many Thanks

    Hello
    If you decide to deploy new Domain this will lead to new administrative tasks to able to support users(creating trust to support access to resources in other domain, other suit of GPOs etc.). Instead if second site is added this will be more simple solution.
    semi -solution is to have child domain which back again will lead to other admin tasks. Also Recommendation by the vendor to have simple solution.

  • OSPF design for branch offices across MPLS

    Hello fellow networking engineers,
    I want to implement OSPF in our network. We have multiple branch offices, all linked to an MPLS backbone.
    I know that in order to get linked areas, I would need to setup GRE tunnels between them, but I want to avoid static/manual configurations as much as possible. With multiple sites, it would become cumbersome to create a mesh real fast.
    Is running OSPF independent areas at each site, and simply redistributing over eBGP a valid solution? This will host voice and data, and will failover to VPN connection (Cisco ASAs) if the MPLS goes down.
    For the VPN backup links, I thought of two options. Either simply using the default route to send everything to the ASA in case of MPLS "death", or inject routes using IP SLA...
    Any input would be appreciated.

    You don't GRE tunnels to link your areas if that is what you want to do.
    If the SP supports it then you can exchange your OSPF routes between areas and they will still be seen as inter area routes rather than OSPF externals which they would if you simply treated each area as isolated from each other.
    In effect the MPLS network becomes an OSPF super backbone area and your main site would also be part of the backbone area with all your other sites having an area each.
    You still redistribute your OSPF routes into BGP but with some extra configuration on both your CEs and the SP PE devices.
    Like I say you would need to check with your SP but it is possible.
    Whether or not you need or want it I don't know.
    Your other option is as you have proposed to treat each OSPF area as an isolated one and simply redistribute into OSPF at each CE. Then within each site all non local routes would be seen as OSPF external routes.
    Either way in terms of backup I would keep it simple and use a default route at each site pointing to the ASA device. I can't see what you gain from IP SLA because if the main MPLS link goes down at any site the only other path they have out is via the ASA so there is nothing really worth tracking.
    The only other thing I would mention is remote site to remote site traffic. If there is any then presumably with your VPN tunnels you would be doing a sort of hub and spoke where the hub is the main site so you may need to think about traffic coming in from one VPN tunnel and going out to another VPN tunnel on the main site ASA.
    This would only really be needed if two or more sites had to use their backup links at the same time.
    In terms of which is better ie. OSPF inter area across the MPLS cloud or OSPF externals I can't really say to be honest. With the MPLS networks i have worked on we ran EIGRP and simply treated each remote site as an isolated AS.
    If you are already running OSPF then you may want to preserve your existing areas so it would make sense to go with the inter area option.
    If it is a new setup then I don't really know the pros and cons of either so can't really comment.
    Perhaps others may add to the thread with their thoughts.

  • Help on set up branch office with 2921 H323 gateway

    I setup a new branch office with 2921 H323 gateway and cucm in HQ.  When I call a number in remote office, I get dead silence and busy tone.  However, user can hear ring at the remote location and able to answer the phone.  I was able to talk to him.  Any place I need to check? 
    Question #2, should cucm in HQ handle all calls between HQ and remote office?  I tried to call from my VoIP phone to remote office VoIP phone and monitored remote office GW running "debug voip ccapi inout".  I saw messages like gateway is handling calls.  Is this normal?  
    I'm fairly new to VoIP environment, still trying to learn.  Thanks. Let me know if you need anything to troubleshoot this. 

    I think that's where I'm confused.  I'd like to have CUCM to handle every calls for remote sites.  when I searched for the number I'm dialing for remote office, there is a route pattern that covers this number and it points to gateway.  This route pattern covers all of their local numbers including our remote office numbers.  For example, I have 9.1201456XXXX point to H323 GW.  That I got it.  However, I want the numbers belong to our office like 1111 don't go to GW for call processing.  Do I make sense?  I want only their local call to remote office go through GW not our internal call between our offices.  I'm sorry if I don't make much sense.  Thanks for your help. 

  • Install windows server 2012 DC on Branch office

    Hi ALL,
    i am planning to install a secondary DC on our branch office where currently they are on different domain and forest. our head office is currently on windows server 2008 R2 std, where forest and domain functional level are on windows server 2003. our headoffice
    domain name is:- (corpoffice.org) and branch office domain is:- ssl (its a single level domain on windows server 2003).
    am thinking to upgrade our headoffice DC to windows server 2012 r2 and the same i wanted to do for branch office as well.
    i need some guidance how to proceed with this DC setup as both vlan network is different and all the client settings are different. am getting few query like
    1. should i upgrade my headoffice DC first before i setup the branch office DC.
    2. how the branch office client will communicate to new DC.
    any suggestion and guidance would really helpful.
    Thanks

    Hi
    You will need to make sure all the ports are open for traffic to move between both DC's. Also need to check that you dont have replication problems, IE, slow link. First step would be to see if you can ping the HO DC from the branch, then once you have established
    that you have all the ports open and your VLAN is routing traffic correctly then you can start with your DC setup.
    You can first upgrade your DC, look at this blog:
