Branch-to-branch VPN

I'm trying to set up a branch office VPN. I'm using a PIX-506e, my peer is a PIX-515. I've attached my (sanitized) configuration, and there's an equivalent one in the 515.
Network setup:
BO1 Inside: 192.168.0.0
BO2 Inside: 130.45.14.0
We cannot establish a Security Association. We can, of course, ping each other's outside addresses.
Two initial questions:
1. Can someone see anything obviously wrong?
2. The command "clear isakmp sa" breaks any existing sas; is there a command that forces one PIX to attempt to form a SA with its peer?
Thanks in advance,
dpm

First of all you do not need to have both of these statements in one pix.
Access-list cleanVPN permit ip 130.45.14.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
Access-list cleanVPN permit ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 130.45.14.0 255.255.255.0
You should have the first in B02 and the next in B01.
It is also recommended and good form to use separate acl's to define this traffic and the traffic defined by your nat (inside) 0 statement, even though it is the same. So I would change it to
B02
Nat (inside) 0 access-list cleanVPN_nat0
Access-list cleanVPN permit ip 130.45.14.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
Access-list cleanVPN_nat0 permit ip 130.45.14.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
Crypto map cleanVPNmap 88 match address cleanVPN
B01
Nat (inside) 0 access-list cleanVPN_nat0
Access-list cleanVPN permit ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 130.45.14.0 255.255.255.0
Access-list cleanVPN_nat0 permit ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 130.45.14.0 255.255.255.0
Crypto map cleanVPNmap 88 match address cleanVPN
Let me know how that goes.

Unable to print from HQ to Branch through the VPN tunnel between ASAs

We have site to site VPN configured between ASAs. The VPN tunnel is up and running as desired except for one printer in the subnet. the users in the Hq cannot print in the branch office printer. I have allowed the ip protocols for the printer subnet but still it is not working. When I do a packet trac the traffic for the printer is allwed through the tunnel.
Can anyone suggest what can be preventing from printing?

When other printers in the same subnet can be reached, I would first control the IP-settings of the printer. In my experience it's most likely a wrong subnet-mask or gateway.

2951 Branch Location - Need VPN failover Route to Corporate office

I need some assistance understanding and configuring a failover VPN route from a Branch location to our Corporate office.
Branch location has MPLS connectivity to Corporate office and I am looking for a solution that in the event that MPLS route is down the VPN route will be used.
I will follow up with a Config post for current reference.
Phil

Hi Phil:
Usually, the best practice is to set a floating static route to your Internet VPN tunnel interface with a higher administrative distance than the routing protocol you're using for your MPLS VPN. When the routing fails on your MPLS, the static route takes over and allows your VPN to operate until the MPLS route returns.

Join remote computers in a branch office over vpn(GRE)

Hi
I have a problem with joining computers located in a branch office described in the following, It would be grateful if anyone help me.
I have a FG1240B firewall as edge firewall in my network and a FG60C in branch office, these firewalls can see each other with assigned IPs, in the other hand I established a GRE tunnel between them to increase security and making direct site to site connection.
The tunnel interfaces have it's own IPs. Routes between two LANs are created and computers in branch can see HQ's servers such as DC and Additional DC, it should be noted all services are opened to two side and even branch's computers can resolve records in
DNS and open https web servers and ... .
But I face the problem when i want to join computers to domain, after entering the credentials it returned error message as "the network path was not found" . For solving this problem I found that the TCP ports 139 and 445 (that refers to user
and computer authentication) could not establish connection to DC while all services are open in origin and destination, even DNS service is passed and when I issue the netstat command in branhce's computer, I noticed connection to DC is established in SYN_sent
step and it couldn't step forward to SYN_ack and SYN_RCVD . it is worth to mention that all these logs information were seen in the branch and there is no join query in the firewall 1240B
I know this problem should answered in firewall forums but I asked this question here because i hope anyone can help me :-/
thank you in advance for replying

Hi,
You can use a wireshark or network monitor capture to see if any traffic is being blocked/stopped somewhere along the path, when trying to join domain. You do not need WINS. Have you enabled DNS debugging logs on the DC/DNS serversin the hub site and
watched if the client from branch site reaches the server?

How can I improve performance over a Branch Office IPsec vpn tunnel between and SA540 and an SA520

Hello,
I just deployed one Cisco SA540 and three SA520s.
The SA540 is at the Main Site.
The three SA520s are the the spoke sites.
Main Site:
Downstream Speed: 32 Mbps
Upstream Speed: 9.4 Mbps
Spoke Site#1:
Downstream Speed: 3.6 Mbps
Upstream Speed: 7.2 Mbps (yes, the US is faster than the DS at the time the speed test was taken).
The SA tunnels are "Established"
I see packets being tranmsitted and received.
Pinging across the tunnel has an average speed of 32 ms (which is good).
DNS resolves names to ip addresses flawlessly and quickly across the Inter-network.
But it takes from 10 to 15 minutes to log on to the domain from the Spoke Site#1 to the Main Site across the vpn tunnel.
It takes about 15 minutes to print across the vpn tunnel.
The remedy this, we have implemented Terminal Services across the Internet.
Printing takes about 1 minute over the Terminal Service Connection, while it takes about 15 minutes over the VPN.
Logging on to the network takes about 10 minutes over the vpn tunnel.
Using an LOB application takes about 2 minutes per transaction across the vpn tunnel; it takes seconds using Terminal Services.
I have used ASAs before in other implementation without any issues at all.
I am wondering if I replaced the SAs with ASAs, that they may fix my problem.
I wanted to go Small Business Pro, to take advantage of the promotions and because I am a Select Certified Partner, but from my experience, these SA vpn tunnels are unuseable.
I opened a case with Small Business Support on Friday evening, but they couldnt even figure out how to rename an IKE Policy Name (I figured out that you had to delete the IKE Policy; you cannot rename them once they are created).
Maybe the night weekend shift has a skeleton crew, and the best engineers are available at that time or something....i dont know.
I just know that my experience with the Cisco TAC has been great for the last 10 years.
My short experience with the Cisco Small Business Support Center has not been as great at all.
Bottom Line:
I am going to open another case with the Day Shift tomorrow and see if they can find a way to speed things up.
Now this is not just happening between the Main Site and Spoke Site #1 above. It is also happeninng between the Main Site and Spoke #2 (I think Spoke#2 has a Download Speed of about 3Mbps and and Upload Speed of about 0.5 Mbps.
Please help.
I would hate to dismiss SA5xx series without making sure it is not just a simple configuration setting.

Hi Anthony,
I agree!. My partner wants to just replace the SA5xxs with ASAs, as we have never had problems with ASA vpn performance.
But I want to know WHY this is happening too.
I will definitely run a sniffer trace to see what is happening.
Here are some other things I have learned from the Cisco Small Business Support Center (except for Item 1 which I learned from you!)
1. Upgrade the SA540 at the Main Site to 2.1.45.
2a. For cable connections, use the standard MTU of 1500 bytes.
2.b For DSL, use the following command to determine the largets MTU that will be sent without packet fragmentation:
ping -f -l packetsize
Perform the items below to see if this increases performance:
I was told by the Cisco Small Business Support Center that setting up a Manual Policy is not recommended; I am not sure why they stated this.
3a. Lower the IKE encryption algorithm from "AES-128" to DES.
3b. Lower the IKE authentication algorithm to MD5
3c. Also do the above for the VPN Policy
Any input is welcome!

Branch office PSTN call routing

Customer had HQ and Branch office with 512 MPLS line, in HQ alone they had E1 trunk, in branch office for calling PSTN the call should travel via MPLS to HQ, and the branch PSTN call terminated in HQ only, is it a good design or better we need to add ISDN line in branch level to terminate the PSTN call.

Balamurugan:
1) I think it is possible. My R&S skills are oxidized but you can have MPLS VPN configured and use frame-relay as a serial encapsulation where you will be able to configure RTP header compression.
2) RSVP over MPLS: yes. But as Marwashawi said, I prefer to work with the LLQ QOS for voice traffic. For that you will need to agree that with your service provider.

Can a single button be used to branch to either a URL or a Page?

I currently have two buttons on my page that are hidden/shown based on user input.
Button1 is a "Template based button" with a URL Target of javascript:showReport();
Button2 is a "Template based button" for which I've created a Branch to Function Returning a Page.
The reason that there are two buttons, is that Button1 is used to popup a window for executing an Oracle Report based on the user's input. The page is not submitted, so all the values are read by javascript in the page header. These values are used to dynamically build the URL (using the showReport() function) which executes an Oracle Report. In contrast, Button2 submits the page items and will redirect to a page within APEX based on the value of one of the Page Items.
Now, I have a need to validate some of the page items, which I could create validations for, but they would only validate upon page submission via Button2. I don't want to write a bunch of logic in Javascript to perform validations for the same items when Button1 is pressed.
As a result, is it possible for me to just have ONE button to either branch to URL using javascript:showReport(); or branch to an APEX page?

Hopefully I am understanding your question correctly.
Use need to use a submit button of some sort. In the branch, you select the on submit, after processing. This is what makes this happen as a branch.
Create two branches.
Branch 1 - select the branch to url or page option
Select page and put in the page number <next>
conditions - select item = value, and put P1_SELECT_LIST = 'PDF' for the expression value.
Branch 2 - select the branch to url or page option
Select URL and type in the url you want to go to <next>
conditions - select item = value, and put P1_SELECT_LIST = 'XML' for the expression value
continue as needed.
I didn't test this, but hopefully you get the idea. If you have other branches, just place these earlier in the sequence if you want them evaluated first.
Hope that helps, Ken

Auto deploying branch office printers with Direct Access

Hello there
I am implementing my first Direct Access topology and have a question. We will have branch offices with workstations deployed using Direct Access for administrative purposes. We have staff moving around from branch to branch with the goal to
make logging on to the network and accessing resources for users as automated as possible. One of the questions I have regards auto configuring branch printers for users using Group Policy. The branch offices have workstations, printers and NAT modem/routers
with DHCP - but no servers.
If we have a stand alone network printer, how do we list that printer in Active Directory allowing the user to auto-configure it using group policy? If we install it on a server at Head Office, would the print job travel there first and then back to
the branch? Obviously this is not ideal. Or can it be directed straight to the printer using a script or something?
Alternatively we can install and share it on a branch workstation and list it in the directory, but would this not be same the problem as above? This is not ideal either as it would depend on the workstation being always on and available.
Any input Direct Access gurus?
Thanks in advance
MIS5000

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
We could have 2 possible solutions for natively deploy printers using Group Policy without the need for any scripting:
1) Group Policy Preferences – available in Windows Server 2008 and later
2) Print Management – available in Windows Server 2003 R2 and later
http://blog.powershell.no/2009/11/08/deploying-printers-using-group-policy/
Did you try to use the Print Management? You can share printers on a network and centralize print server and network printer management tasks using the Print Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Print Management helps you to monitor print
queues and receive notifications when print queues stop processing print jobs. It also enables you to migrate print servers and deploy printer connections using Group Policy.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731857.aspx
Meanwhile, if you have any Direct Access related issue, I think you may ask in network forums:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserverNIS

How to redirect to a page (without branching and without pl/sql)

Hi,
Have a requirement where when a user log into the application, the APP_USER must be checked against the list of users maintained in a database table, if APP_USER name exist in the table, the user must be redirected to the home page else user must be redirected to the Registration page.
Tried the branching concept:
Branch Point: On Load: Before Header
Condition: NOT Exists (SQL Query returns no rows)
Expression1 : select * from users_tab where name = v('APP_USER')
When this condition is given, though the user name does not exist in the users_tab, the page is redirected to page 1 instead of the Registration page.
Where is the problem here?
How can it be resolved?
Is there an alternative way to implement this?

How to set item values without using fields in branch's ACTION block?

Okay, I will try to say this in a easy way so it is not weird.
I have created a button, SAVE, that has a Branch of branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page. This is my code for the branch:
if :P2008_NAP_SUPPORTING_MATERIALS = 'Yes' then
return '2092';
else
return '2040';
end if;
The code for this type of branch is stored in the ACTION block of the Branch page. The ACTION block for a Branch of branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page is different than the ACTION block for a Branch of branch type: Branch To Page Or URL.
I need to set some item values with some specific values, which I can do with a branch type: Branch To Page Or URL. This is not possible with the branch type: Branch To Function Returning A Page. The ACTION block is totally different.
How can I set some values on say Page 2040 from Page 2008 without using fields in the branch's ACTION block?
Thank you in advance,
Maggie

Andy and Scott,
I love seeing different perspectives in solving problems, it opens my eyes to new ways of looking at/using the tools (reserved words and 'Function returning a Page', etc.).
One of my pet peeves has been that on branches I was limited to only 10 variables to be passed (I know, who would want more - but there was an instance where I had to pass more), and an even more frustrating time when using report Column Linking, which limits me to 3 variables.
At least with the Branch linking I can use your suggestion Andy and add the variable setting statements into the function. I am assuming of course (and I should be able to) that I will be able to set more that 10 variables in a IF condition prior to the RETURN statement. This method will be much more understandable, for me, when looking through the branch at a later time to see what is happening, than an URL link where all the variable are strung out 'in a line' so to speak.
I will still need to use URL Target branching on Links contained within a Column Attribute when I need to pass more than 3 variables, of which I have several places where I do this.

Multiple branches to the same page

A few questions about branches...
1. Having a branch back to the same page with a 'when button pressed=Submit', another branch back to the same page with some other button-press condition, etc are all redundant, right?
It is sufficient to have just one unconditional branch back to the same page, right?
2. What is the difference between branch type 'branch to page or url' and simply 'branch to page'? Does the former cover the latter, so why do we need two types?
3. Anyway, when I choose the latter, there is a checkbox below the page number for 'branch to page using redirect'. What does this mean?
4. I have always seen the 'On submit: after processing' branch point being used. When would the other branch points be used?
Thanks

Vikas,
1. No, they are not "all redundant" nor is any
individual one. What if your page is submitted in
some way other than by one of the buttons evaluated
in the branch definitions?
Right, thats why I said "It is sufficient to have just one unconditional branch back to the same page, right?". Why is it not sufficient to have just 1 unconditional branch? That would cover all the cases. Each page process can then check for whatever conditions it needs?Ummm, you say "Right" to my rebuttal and then you restate your original premise -- that logic eludes me. Let me offer this: Ponder my question, exactly as I wrote it, and consider self-submitting items, tabs, javascript, fields that submit the page when you hit Enter, etc., then it might make more sense. I don't think I can help you with that last part "Each page process..." even if it were an actual question.
2. A Branch to Page (aka direct branch) calls the
target page directly from accept processing without
using a URL redirect. The other type redirects.
Maybe this has nothing to do with HTMLDB, but whats the difference between "directly from accept processing" and "redirect"?Fair question. When you submit a page, wwv_flow.accept processes it. When it finishes, it evaluates the branching logic to determine what page you see next and then either redirects to that page (to f?p=...) or calls wwv_flow.show in the same database session (direct branch).
3. That's a way of creating most branches as URL
redirect branches when the developer isn't paying
attention. Uncheck the box to "really" create a
direct branch.
You seem to be implying that a "direct branch" is not really desirable in most cases? Why? (I guess your answer to my question above will clear this up for me)Well, they're usually not the best choice. You end up with "wwv_flow.accept" in the browser location window after the branch and using the browser's back button to go back to those requests gives you that annoying "page contains POSTDATA" message. Those branches can be useful if you want to stay in the same database session for page processing (after submit) and the subsequent page view, such as in the case of inline validation errors where package state is maintained. The checkbox (default checked) technique is to require developers to really think about a choice that may have been reflexive.
4. Please read the User's Guide.
I did. Lets take them 1 by one
a. On submit, before computation: The docs say this is to be used for a Cancel button. But wouldnt a javascript:document.form.reset() do the same thing?A Cancel button that submits the page does just that, it submits the page, allowing session state to be saved and any logic on the page to be performed before the correct branch is taken. You ask whether that javascript would do the same thing. The same thing as what, the Cancel button? No!
b. on load before header: "...displays another page instead of the current page...". But then why wouldnt I just create a branch of some other branch point with that "another page number" in the first place?Because sometimes it's better for page X to decide to go to page Y before doing much of anything than for N callers of page X to make the same determination.
I guess I am having difficulty understanding the concept of a "branch point". As you said elsewhere, a branch doesnt contain any logic, it doesnt call anything, it just branches to some page/url.Where did I say that?
So, why have all these different branch points? What advantage does having this fine degree of control provide us? (as opposed to always 'on submit: after processing'?)Your proposal about reviewing various branch points was "Lets take them 1 by one", but then you skipped three of them. Please read the entire section on branching, create pages with all possible types of branches and a variety of buttons and conditions, experiment extensively with them and let us know if it's still unclear. I think you'll find, over time, that all features
in HTML DB are there for a good reason. The developers found a need for them developing real applications. Where capabilities were missing, features were invented and added,
where features seemed useless, they were dropped/deprecated. The tool you see today has been evolving for years. I think it's unreasonable to expect to be able to
appreciate the value of every single feature until you've been using HTML DB for a couple of years.

BUG? "ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID..." on branch on upgrading 3.0 to 4.0

I'm testing the waters prior to upgrading a customer application from APEX 3.0.0.00.20 to 4.0.2.00.07.
The application has been exported from the APEX 3.0 environment on a 4.0 instance on a different server. Both databases are 10.2.0.4.0 EE.
A on navigating—via a standard tab—to a page containing only conditional On Load: Before Header branches, the branches are failing with
Unexpected error, unable to find item name at application or page level.
Error: ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "p810_status" in application "121". This is caused by the branch action having Set these items item names specified in lower case:
p810_status,p810_read_onlyThe error is resolved by changing these item names to UPPER CASE.
This is not a disaster. Using APEX views I can see that there are only a handful of branches specifying item names in lower case so it won't require major effort to fix this app when it's upgraded for real.
However, (a) I am aware that there are other places in this app where item names are specified in lower case; and (b) I tend to type most of my development stuff in lower case, so I'd like clarification on this issue.
<li>Is this a known issue? (Can't find any earlier mention of this on OTN, MOS or web)
<li>Is this expected behaviour in APEX 4.x or a bug?
<li>If a bug is it fixed in 4.1?
<li>Is there a change in APEX 4.0 requiring branch item (and other?) references to be uppercase? If so, where is this documented?
I notice that it works OK when the same item values are specified in the URL using lowercase item names.
Bumped by: fac586 on 08-Mar-2012 15:51
I noticed that APEX 4.0.2 has converted all branches to use the [now] late, lamented "Set value before branching" option. Is this significant? Obviously this won't occur if upgrading to 4.1.

Hi Lukx,
Thank you for reporting this. You have hit upon an issue with this page, for which I have filed Oracle bug #11840642. To get around this in the meantime, you can see page specific changes by going to:
1) The 'Page Definition' page for the page you want to see recent edits.
2) Go to 'Utilities > History'. This will show you recent actions for components on the current page.
Hope that helps and thanks again for catching this.

Selecting top N clients by branch or in the whole company

Hi all!
I have a report that selects the top 20 clients of each branch of the company. The company has more than 700 hundred branches. The report was done by:
1) creating a calculation using the rank function, partitioned by rank, ordered by descending total debt.
2) filtering the registers where rank <= 20.
In the report, the branch dimension is a page item.
What I need is that, when I select "ALL" in the page item (branch), the report brings the top 20 clients of the whole company. But, as the rank function calculates the rank for each branch, I have more than 700 clients ranked as 1, as 2, as 3 ,...
Is there a way of doing so, or do I have to create a new sheet just for a rank not partitioned by branch?
Thanks!
William

Hi all, again!
After a lot of consulting, I came across an almost satisfying workaround (without using LOV):
1) Create parameter "Scope" that can assume 2 values: "Branch" or "Country"; checking "Require user to enter value"checkbox.
2) Create calculation "Level of analysis":
case
when (:Scope = "Branch") then Branch.Code
when (:Scope = "Country") then "Brazil"
end
3) Put "Level of analysis" as page item.
4) Modify the rank formula to:
DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY *"Level of analysis"* ORDER BY "Total Debt" DESC )
So, if the user wants the report at a branch level, he/she can input "Branch" in the "Scope" parameter. If he/she wants the report at a national level, he/she can input "Country" in the "Scope" parameter.
The only disadvantage is that each time the user wants to change the report from the branch level to the national level (or vice-versa), he/she will have to change the parameter value and rerun the query. In my case, it is very fast...
Thanks for all of those who have spent any time thinking about my situation.

Conditional Branch Execution?

OK, Newbie here (and a bit frustrated). First application in the works.
I have 2 ways to get to a page. When I click on the "Create" button, I want to return to the page that called the current page.
Call them pages 1, 2 and 3.
The default branching (unconditional branch) is 1 to 3 back to 1. This is a report to form back to report. This is the structure generated when I added the page when I initially generated the application.
The secondary branching (conditional branch) is 2 to 3 back to 2.
I set the sequence of the branches to do the conditional branch 1st then the unconditional branch 2nd.
The "back to 2" is the problem.
When I set it to "Unconditional" it works. When I set a condition it doesn't work.
I tried "Request = Expression 1". I set the REQUEST in the button on page 2 to a specific value ("RETURN_TO_2"), but I suspect that when I click the "CREATE" on page 3 the REQUEST value is set to something else.
So I tried saving the value of the REQUEST from page 2 in a page item on page 3 (P3_X) and used "Value of Expression 1 = Expression 2".
I tried "P3_X", ":P3_X", "&P3_X", "v('P3_X')" in Expression 1 and RETURN_TO_2, "RETURN_TO_2" in Expression 2 (I think all possible combination of the to expressions).
None of the combinations does the conditional branch!
Any suggestions as to where I should go next?
Thanks - JR

John:
I have found it helpful to use the 'Branch to Page Identified by Item (Use Item Name) ' type of branch in such cases.
I specify the the page to return to in an application_item. The application_item itself is populated by a before header application_process. So if 'G_DEST' is the application item then the application_process simply is
:g_DEST:= :app_page_id;In your case the branch defined in page 3 will be of the 'Branch to Page Identified by Item (Use Item Name) ' type and use the application_item 'G_DEST' as the item that holds the page-number that is to be the destination for the branch.

TFS 2013 - Convert project to branch

Hi,
id like to get some expert advise here.
End 2013 we have migrated from TFS 2010 to TFS 2013. All good so far, very happy with TFS 2013.
On "feature" in TFS 2010 was to create a new project as a branch of another team project. This is how have worked for a long time and are still doing.
But in 2013 this option is gone. So what we have done is create a new empty team project and then merge from the other team project (main). This then becomes a baseless merge, with no relationship to the parent folder.
I noticed an option to convert the root of a team project to a branch, but i cannot really find what changes this will make.
Can you please advise what the best way is to create "branched" projects.
We have about 8 team projects under the main project that are not linked. Is it possible to link those ?
What is the best way to create a new team project that is suppose the be a branch of the other team project ? Im guessing it requires the main project to be a branch. Is that safe to change ?
I hope you can advise here. We do have future plans to migrate our branched project to a branch folder in a new team project and create new team branches (foldeR) from there, thus all working on the same team project as recommended.
But untill then we need to stick with this and i like to improve the experience.
looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Nico

Hi Nico,
Thanks for your reply.
I did a mistake, so I deleted the previous reply. Please refer to below information.
The Branch option will try to create a new branch folder first, then create branch relationship between the source branch and new created branch(target branch) automatically.
In your scenario, as you have created the Main.test team project, it means the target branch has already existed, so you cannot use the
Branch option, because Branch operation always try to create a new branch with the name which your provided in
Target Branch Name textbox. So if there’s the target branch existed, you can only merge from your Main team project(needn't convert to folder) to Main.test team project first, then create branch relationship between them(Reparent).
