Cisco ASA not returning traffic when wccp peering with Bluecoat.

Experts,
My setup has a Cisco ASA where we are doing wccp with a Bluecoat SG box. The traffic gets redirected to the Bluecoat due to the wccp settings so it's just transparent to the end users. Theye do not have to do any manual proxy settings in their IE.
We however notice that somehow the ASA does not return these connection back to the requesting hosts and somehere the connection table breaks. The message we see on the ASA that state table is somehow not being maintained. Any idea where this connection must be breaking?
Regards,
Nikhil Kulkarni.

Nikhil,
Let me give you a little bit of backgrounf in regards to WCCP that can help you. As you stated the ASA will do transparent redirection, so the client doesn't have to configure anything on the PC.
The traffic will get to the ASA (port 80/443 or any configured port) and then the ASA will establish a GRE tunnel with WCCP server and will redirect the traffic. After the Bluecoat receives the traffic it will "spoof" the IP address of the requested web page (the WCCP server needs to have direct comunication with the client PC without passing through the ASA). I have seen some issues where the ASA and the WCCP server are unable to establish the GRE tunnel becuase the ASA uses the highest IP address as the router ID and uses this IP address to establish the tunnel. The WCCP keepalives (Here I am, I see you) are sent using the IP address of the closest IP address to the WCCP server.
At this point you may turn on the WCCP debugs and run some "show WCCP" commands.
I hope it helps

Cisco asa 5505: No traffic lan to wan with IPv6

Hello everybody,
I have a Cisco ASA 5505, public ipv6 in outside interface, private ipv6 in LAN, from router I can ping any ipv6 in Internet and ping my LAN ipv6. Traffic doesn't go through router.
This is my configuration.

Am I omitting anything?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Since you're using IPv6 private addressing (fc00::) on the inside, you need a dynamic NAT entry to translate your private IPv6 addresses to a public one.
Alternatively, you could just use a subnet of your registered IPv6 block for the inside network and not worry about NAT.

Oracle Text does not return results when String starts with two consecutive vowels

Hi,
I hope someone can shed some light on a strange problem we're facing.
Oracle Database 11g R2 (11.2.0.4) EE 64-bit running on Windows 2008 Server R2.
When I create a context index on a varchar2 column (surname) it works fine when the surname starts with either a consonant or one vowel. But when the surname starts with two vowels it fails to return the record?
Please see worked example below:
create table t1 (surname varchar2(50));
insert into t1 values ('OURS');
insert into t1 values ('JOURS');
insert into t1 values ('ONES');
commit;
-- sync every 10 mins
CREATE INDEX PERSON_SURNAME_IDX ON t1
(SURNAME)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('MEMORY 50M sync (every "SYSDATE+10/1440")')
NOPARALLEL;
-- no rows
SELECT surname
FROM t1
WHERE CONTAINS(surname, 'OURS') > 0;
-- 1 row
SELECT surname
FROM t1
WHERE CONTAINS(surname, 'JOURS') > 0;
-- 1 row
SELECT surname
FROM t1
WHERE CONTAINS(surname, 'ONES') > 0;
Any help or guidance greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

WebI does not return failed when scheduling a report which only holds parti

WebI does not return failed when scheduling a report which only holds partial results.
We have scheduled reports which take some time to run. When they are scheduled they sometimes show successful even though the report only holds partial results. The only indication is when you open the report as webi report you see the warning that it holds partial results.
When running the report manually, it works file.
The issue is not in the no of rows in the universe settings because we this unselected. The issue is that it times out.
The reason that it times out is that a lot of resources are used for loading and processing data when the report is scheduled. When running it manually, it works because at this time the serverload is less. the time in the universe is set to 10 min.
The version we have is BOXIR2-SP4.
Ok. Issue identified.
The question is - why is the report successful when it holds partial results? If this is normal behavior, noone can really trust the scheduled reports, especially when you save it to excel and send it by mail.
Is there a solution for this except increasing the allowed query time which would not solve the issu but only allow more reports to complete?

Hi ,
Currently this problem exists in XI R2. This feature will be part of thenext Service Pack i.e XI R2 SP6.
This CER will be delivered from IDC Webi and BIP Platform as part of Jupiter Sp6.
Problem Statement:
Scheduled WebI Reports which are partially refreshed are distributed to the destinations for Users to View and make decisions. These users arenu2019t usually aware that these reports have u201CPARTIAL RESULTSu201D
Recomended Solution:
Allow the Schedule Creator / Modifier to set a parameter to stop the distribution of the u201CPARTIALLY REFRESHEDu201D WebI report.

Cisco ASA Not Responding to SNMP

Hi All,
I have a Cisco ASA that I am trying to discover with SNMP (Solar Winds). The Solarwinds server can ping the ASA on the E1 interface (on the same network as the server), yet it cannot be discovered using SNMP, it fails every time.
This is the config I have for the ASA.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.224
description NMS
vlan 224
nameif NMS
security-level 100
ip address 10.11.120.225 255.255.255.240
snmp-server host NMS 10.11.120.235 community *****
no snmp-server location
no snmp-server contact
snmp-server community *****
snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkup linkdown coldstart
The server trying to discover the ASA is 10.11.120.235 and the community string is public.
Also, I do not know how you add a RW string to a Cisco ASA - it seems to only let you add a single string.
Thanks in advance.
Dan

Hi Daniel,
The ASA supports only SNMP read-only access. SNMP write access is not allowed, so you cannot make changes with SNMP.
Have you tried to manualy pool the ASA using snmpget or some other tools. One issue might be the community used by Solarwinds.
Regards
Dan

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

OCIStmtExecute does not return immediately when client is busy.

Hi.
I'm testing a very busy multi-threaded client server that consistently generates
a large number of simple queries through oci. The problem is that, when the
server(client) is busy, OCIStmtExecute does not return immediately in
non-blocking mode.
Of course I have set non-blocking mode and OCIStmtExecute does return
OCI_STILL_EXECUTING immediately when the server is not busy. But
when log rotation occurs which concatenates a large text file (~500MB)
onto an even larger text file (up to several giga bytes), or when I simply copies
or concatenates large text files manually, OCIStmtExecute returns very slowly.
(roughly about after 100~200ms)
However, while log rotation takes place, everything else including other oci
calls that come before OCIStmtExecute (prepare, define) return fast. So
for me it really seems that only OCIStmtExecute becomes extremely slower
when local server (especially the disk) is busy.
Is there any way to let OCIStmtExecute immediately return all the time?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I knew that OCIStmtExecute would be the only function that causes such
delay and that was why I traced that call. And so far, I checked several times
what happens at the exact moment on the server but everything was ok.
Actually OCIStmtExecute becomes slower exactly when crontab-ed log rotate
occurs so I think this delay must be a client-side problem for now.
This server is quite busy and has to respond fast, so it is important to
guarantee fast response time while a small number of timeout losses are tolerable.
But as OCIStmtExecutes' first OCI_STILL_EXECUTING return takes hundreds of
ms it has become more like a blocking call and currently I cannot find any way to do what I want.
So now everytime such thing happens, the thread waits
quite long, after the first OCI_STILL_EXECUTING return
the time difference exceeds timeout limit, and the thread
calls OCIBreak() and OCIReset() and returns.

See the 'How Roles Work in PL/SQL Blocks' section of the database security doc for the details
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/network.1111/e16543/authorization.htm#i1007304
How Roles Work in PL/SQL Blocks
The use of roles in a PL/SQL block depends on whether it is an anonymous block or a named block (stored procedure, function, or trigger), and whether it executes with definer's rights or invoker's rights.
Roles Used in Named Blocks with Definer's Rights
All roles are disabled in any named PL/SQL block (stored procedure, function, or trigger) that executes with definer's rights. Roles are not used for privilege checking and you cannot set roles within a definer's rights procedure.
The SESSION_ROLES view shows all roles that are currently enabled. If a named PL/SQL block that executes with definer's rights queries SESSION_ROLES, then the query does not return any rows.
Roles Used in Named Blocks with Invoker's Rights and Anonymous PL/SQL Blocks
Named PL/SQL blocks that execute with invoker's rights and anonymous PL/SQL blocks are executed based on privileges granted through enabled roles. Current roles are used for privilege checking within an invoker's rights PL/SQL block. You can use dynamic SQL to set a role in the session.
See that line starting with 'All roles are disables in any named PL/SQL block'?

Cisco AIR2602E not coming up when Antenna attached

Hi All,
I am facing a weird kind of situation. At one of my client side, we have Cisco AIR-2602E APs with ANT-2566 patch antennas. At one IDF, where Cisco 2960X are installed, the APs are not powering up when Antenna is attached. Once the Antenna is removed, the APs come up and then when Antenna is attached, it works fine. I have configured the port with "power inline port 2x-mode" command as well, but no use. Is there any issue with the Switch or AP?

Configuring Cisco ASA for site to site VPN ( Issue with setting up local network)

OK, so our primary firewall is a checkpoint gateway. Behind that we have a cisco ASA for vpn users. I have a project at the moment where we need to connect to another company using site to site VPN through the cisco ASA, as the checkpoint gateway is unable to establish a permanent tunnel with the other companies Cisco ASA.
What would be the best practise for setting up the local network on my side? Create the network on the ASA and then use a L2 vlan to connect to the Core switch?
Setup a L3 interface on the core switch and point it towards the checkpoint gateway which would then point to the ASA?
When you have to select your local network through the site to site wizard do you have to put the inside network address of the ASA?
Our network is setup like this: Access layer switch > Core 6500 Switch > Checkpoint-Firewall > Internet
The ASA is connected to a checkpoint sub interface
Any help would be beneficial as im new to cisco ASAs
Thanks
Mark

Mark
If we understood more about your environment we might be able to give you better answers. My initial reaction was similar to the suggestion from Michael to use a L2 vlan. But as I think a bit more my attention is drawn to something that you mention in the original post. The ASA is there for VPN users. If the VPN users need to access your internal network then you probably already have something configured on the ASA that allows access to the internal network. Perhaps that same thing might provide access for your site to site VPN?

One device does not stop ringing when answering FaceTime with another

Does anyone have this problem; I have a 15'' MBP 2011 OSX 10.8.2., and an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1. When my FaceTime receives a call, both devices are ringing just as they should, but one device does not stop ringing when I use the other to answer the call. However, the call is disconnected after some time (like, if you don't answer at all, the call attempt is dropped). So, my FaceTime calls are constantly dropped. IF I answer and then choose to reject the call with the other device, the call is disconnected.
This problem occurred some time ago, perhaps with the Mountain Lion upgrade, but not sure - I don't get that many FT-calls but from my family abroad.

I had the same issue pairing a Mac G5 powerpc with a 2014 Macbook Pro and resolved it. In addition to pairing the devices through System Preferences>Bluetooth, make sure that "Bluetooth Sharing" is checked in System Preferences>Sharing as well. In my case, the devices always say "disconnected" in the Bluetooth panel, but change to "Connected" during an actual file transfer. Try sending a file even though it says "disconnected" and it may very well work fine. It also helps to check "Show Bluetooth in status in the menu bar" so you can quickly initiate a transfer from there.

now, our problem is with crystal and also when I use the same test case via another IDE like TOAD.
No data is returned from the list but the table is still updated.
We suspect that something is happening that is causing the table to be updated before the refcursor is opened, or at least before the predicates are applied.
has anyone else encountered this problem before?

nope - it works from sqlplus itermitantly (i.e. we always get the debug output but the cursor only sometimes fetches the rows).
it is almost as if the commit is being executed before the cursor is opened.
I still havn't been able to reproduce it except with the actual scenario that I am working with...Is the code you are dealing with exactly the same as the skeleton you've posted in your original post? Do you perhaps have a generic exception catcher in there somewhere (perhaps catching and hiding an ORA-01555) when the cursor is being fetched?
Not that i expect it to make any difference, but i'm curious as to why you've declared your cursor as IN / OUT ?
p_listcur in out sys_refcursor
the code structure in the real example is almost identical to that test case I produced - the exception handler is only catering for no_data_found, all other errors should be raised as normal.
edit: sorry I forgot to add - it's in/out because apparently that's what crystal reports needs in order to use the refcursor..... I'm not a crystal guy so I can't be any more specific than that sorry......

Why does .equalsIgnoreCase() not return true when they're equal

http://pastebin.com/m741df92b
else if (message.matches("quit")) {
               System.out.println("inside quit thingie");
               // sender = sender.trim();
               for (int i = 0; i < admins.size(); i++) {
                    String admin = admins.get(i);
                    System.out.println("testing :" + admin + ": vs :" + sender
                              + ":");
                    if (sender.equalsIgnoreCase(admin)) {
                         System.out.println("quitting because of "
                                   + message.substring("quit".length() + 1));
                         super.quitServer(message.substring("quit".length() + 1));
                    } // end if
               } // end for
Output: (the first bit is logging the incoming message)
#TDWTFMafia:<btk> quit
inside quit thingie
testing :btk: vs :btk:Since posting the pastebin, I changed the code a bit so it would spit out the length along with what it's testing. that gave me
testing :btk: (3) vs :btk: (3)

Can you make sure the problem is not in
System.out.println("quitting because of "+ message.substring("quit".length() + 1));
super.quitServer(message.substring("quit".length() + 1));by replacing these 2 line with something like
System.out.println("quitting);
super.quitServer("quit");
{code}
Is the code you pasted surrounded by a try/catch statement? If message equals "quit" or something shorter your substring will throw a IndexOutOfBoundsException.
