Cisco should include Linux in Cisco Connect Software

I'm a fan of Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. I know Cisco took time adopting Mac to "Network Connect Pro" which is now,
Cisco Connect. I feel the time has come to include Major Linux Distros in Cisco Connect, so that all my Computers, are afforded the same secure platform for networking.
Does anyone know if Cisco has plans to implement Linux? I'd certainly like to hear opinions, regarding this scenario!
Regards,
John C

Since there are so many flavors of Linux, it is tough to make a "Linux" implementation of anything. And since the market is divided, it is hard to pick the distributions. Worse, you have to decide if it will use KDE, GNOME, or some other WM look-and-feel.
Have you tried running Cisco Connect in an emulator like WINE? (I haven't. I'm just wondering)
You should also post this suggestion in the Cisco Home Community, http://homecommunity.cisco.com

Cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?

As much as possible i want only one SSID for my router, so i dont want to have another SSID for guest. To protect my router
settings I need to have a different admin password from those of passphrase (i.e. wifi password).
Why is it that cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?
The cisco connect password is the same as the passphrase. I think its unsafe to have similar passes for both admin password
and passphrase.
Is there any way that cisco connect software would work under different admin password & passphrase?

From what I can tell, the router is set up so that it broadcasts two seperate SSID's with two unique passwords. If you logon to the SSID-Guest network, you are not allowed any kind of Admin access to the router. If you attempt to use the Cisco Connect software, you'll eventually get an error saying that it could not find a network (unless there is an unconfigured router running factory defaults in range). I verified this using a Cisco Linksys E4200 and a few laptops.
So long as you utilize the guest network properly, you should be able to maintain security on your network and use Cisco Connect. Obviously this isn't ideal for most commercial use, but then again I don't know why you would want to use this software on that scale.
If you are trying to keep one SSID for the network, I think you're going to have to use the web based service and do a little manual configuration.
TLDR: Seta different password for the guest network and never give out the primary network password. Guests don't have admin access, even while using Cisco Connect so long as they are connected to the -Guest SSID.

Can I install 'Cisco connect' software on more than one PC in the network?

Manually managing E3000 / not using cisco connect software

ok now i have totally by pass the cisco connect software, and manually managing my e3000 / updating the firmware manually and i have the ssid disabled due to people trying to connect to our router all the time and our router is password protected (wpa/aes) i need to know if manually managing the network is a good idea or not i've manage other linksys routers in the network page, i am finally able to connect and i get my full download speed 10MB/Second now before i was getting 5MB/second and upload speed is at a good 1MB/second before i was getting 0.3MB/second are these good speeds or what i dont know i've also ran a few test - both the hdtv & xbox on at the same time running the same item (netflix's ) both at the same speed

For better wireless connection, use WPA2 with AES security.
I think disabling the SSID broadcast will make any difference.
You can also try changing the advanced wireless settings on the router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS and Fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Click on Setup tab and change the MTU size to 1365.Save the settings and power cycle the router.
Now observer the wireless connection and see if that makes any difference.
Also make sure that your router is running on latest firmware.

Cisco Connect Software

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can no longer use my Cisco Connect Software to manage my wireless network. I get the following Error Message:
The router software supports these operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
- Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
- Mac OS X 10.7 or later
Any help would be appreciated.

As you might know by now, Cisco Connect might not have an upgrade since Cisco basically came out with a new application named "Cisco Connect in the Cloud". This one need a firmware upgrade on your router first to Ver.1.1.38.138880 wich you will find at http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/ccc.
Connect in the cloud is not bad, not great either but do as much as the regular Connect and some but this time from anywere you have internet access. The Con is that you will never be able again to use the typical settings using the IP address of your router. Yap you read righ, never again unless you decide to roll back the firmware to the previous version. Cisco have instructions have to do it. Other Cons at least for me is that the download speed came from almost 12 mbps to 2 mbps. At least that what the speed test show, but i have not seen the reduce speed in real. My web access still good and super fast. If i connect directly to the modem shows almost 12, connect to the router 2mbps. Wierd.
Any way good luck

When is the update for Cisco Connect software with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion?

@OfficialLinksys When will @Cisco_Support update Cisco Connect software with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion compatibility?

I believe all Mac users are waiting for that update but so far it is not yet available. We are yet to hear from Cisco for its official release for the software that is compatible already for Mountain Lion.

Cisco Connect software issue

I am having problems trying to load the Cisco Connect application software from the CD. I am able to connect to router, but the Cisco Connect software never loads to the hard drive. Any suggestions?

I think the Cisco connect software is running successfully but it is not giving you the option to lauch the Cisco connect utility. If you get the ' congratulations ' page that means it is running successfully.
When you install the Cisco connect on your computer, it generally creates option on your computer to launch the utility.
On windows computer you will find Cisco connect under All programs. Click on Start and go to All Programs and see if you can find Cisco connect.
On MAC computer you will find Cisco connect under Applications. On your desktop, locate and double-click on the Macintosh HD icon. A window will then appear on your screen. Select Applications from the left panel on this window. This will display all contents under the Applications category.From the list of Applications, locate and double-click on the Cisco Connect icon. This will launch Cisco Connect and take you to its main screen.
If you are still not finding Cisco connect software on your computer then I will suggest you install Cisco connect after installing settings up your router manually.
Uninstall Cisco connect from your computer if there is any. Follow this link to install Cisco connect after installing the router manually.

Cisco Connect Software Download

I just purchased the E3000. I am trying to set up my laptop with Cisco Connect software but my CD seems to be broken now. Is there anywhere I can download it?
Thanks
Darlene

If you want to see your router's settings, you don't have to use Cisco Connect. You can use the web GUI for browsing settings using your web browser by logging in at http://192.168.1.1. Then you'll see the administrative "dashboard", and by following the tabs to the settings that you want to look at, you can see everything. I'd also recommend downloading the user guide for your router from Linksys Support, if you haven't already. This explains all the settings in the administrative GUI and will make it much easier to find what you're looking for. By the way, your English is perfectly understandable *smile*.

Cisco AM10 with Linux

I recently purchased a Cisco AM10 wireless adapter for my computer. I got it working perfectly fine within Windows 7, but when I proceed to use it in Linux, I have problems. Is there any known solution for getting this specific piece of hardware to run on a Linux system? I've been on the AM10 page here on the Cisco website, and found no drivers that Cisco provides for Linux.
Any help is appreciated.

According to cisco website.. Linex drivers not availble for (AM10)
Cisco do not make any drivers for linux operating system. However you can try with some 3rd party website for linux drivers..

Derrick,
RFC 3261defines ways to provide increased security for a SIP session.
The following describes areas in SIP that provides security for the protocol
1. Authenticating users.
We need to authenticate a user to ensure that the sender of the message is who he claims to be.
To achieve this SIP uses digest authentication between a UAC, proxy and a UAS. This provides the most basic level of authentication challenge between a client, proxy and a server.
2. Secure SIP signalling
The next area we can secure is SIP signalling itself. For this we use SSL/TLS. This is similar to using https in web browsers. With TLS before our any signalling is exchange X.509 certificates are used create a secure TLS channel. All our SIP messages are then transported within the secure channel.
NB: The digest authentication mentioned above for authenticating a user agent is just authentication. The messages are not protected from reading or modification hence it is recommended that these messages are carried inside a secure TLS channel for better security.
3. Privacy and Identification
Additional security features in SIP provides means where any user can choose to either reveal or conceal his identity.
4.Secure RTP
SIP also provides the ability to secure the media channel. It is not enough to secure signalling while anyone can listen to the media. RFC3830 discusses how the encryption should be done.
5. S/MIME
S/MIME encapsulation is used to protect sip headers making it impossible for any one in between the sender and receiver to modify the sip headers

No Audio on either end Cisco Jabber for Windows over Cisco AnyConnect

Our telephony staff is replacing our aging/unsupported VoIP system with a Cisco system and as the network tech, I'm trying to get Jabber for Windows to work over our AnyConnect VPN client. Jabber to Cisco phone and Jabber to Jabber calls work fine within our LAN.
However, when I take a laptop to a separate internet connection and connect to the network via the VPN, I can't get any audio to pass across the system, in either direction. If I call a phone on our LAN using the Jabber client (via AnyConnect), the phone rings and when I answer it, it's just dead air on both ends. If I reverse the process, calling from the phone to the Jabber client, the same thing, Jabber client rings, but dead air both ways once I answer.
Things I can do from the laptop over the VPN connection:
I'm able to get to the phone's web interface using that same laptop.
I can ping the phone as well. In fact, the VPN profile I'm using has full access to the entire VoIP Vlan including all IP traffic (all ~65,000 ports).
Searching the address book also works fine. I can search for staff and it's pulling directly from our Active Directory environment.
Is there any special settings on the firewall that I need to setup to allow the voice traffic (which I assume is RTP traffic)? I tried to add a service policy for RTP traffic, but that didn't seem to work...unless I built it wrong.
Jabber for Windows - 10.6.0
Cisco Anyconnect - 3.1.06079
Cisco 5515-x ASA - 9.2

I was able to resolve this on my own. I thought that SIP traffic needed to be inspected via the global inspection policy in order for it to pass through the firewall. I ran into the same issue with ICMP traffic from an Anyconnect client to LAN devices. I had to enable ICMP in that policy for us to be able to ping LAN devices over the VPN tunnel. So when I saw that SIP was already being inspected by this policy, I moved on looking for other solutions. Then I stumbled deep within a Google search (almost hit the end of the Internet doing so) where someone mentioned that SIP shouldn’t be inspected by that policy. So I unchecked it and bam! Voice is now working over the anyconnect client to phones on the LAN.

Any ideas?

Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
"I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread .id=67412
If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
Good luck.

Cisco ACS 4.2 authenticating Cisco 4710 ACE appliance failed

Hi,
I've got a problem with Cisco ACS 4.2 authenticating Cisco 4710 ACE appliance.
ACS4.2 has been configured to use both internal and external database. It's been working fine for a couple or years.
Recently we bought a Cisco 4710 ACE appliance. When I use ACS4.2 internal username and password to login the Cisco 4710 ACE appliance, I have no problem. I can also see the passed authentication log on ACS4.2. However, if I use AD username and password, I couldn't login in. The message is "Login incorrect". I checked the failed attempts log on the ACS4.2, there was no log regarding the failed attempt. My AD username and password works fine on all other cisco routers and switches.
I've posted my AAA configuration of the 4710 ACE below. ACE is running on the latest version A4(1.1). Please help.
tacacs-server key 7 "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
aaa group server tacacs+ tac_admin
server xx.xx.xx.xx
aaa authentication login default group tac_admin local
aaa authentication login console group tac_admin local
aaa accounting default group tac_admin

Hi,
Since the ACS is receiving the request.
Could you please ensure that In ACE on every context (including Admin and other) you have following strings:
tacacs-server host x.x.x.x key 7 "xxx"
aaa group server tacacs+ tac_admin
   server x.x.x.x
aaa authentication login default group tac_admin local
aaa authentication login console group tac_admin local
aaa accounting default group x.x.x.x
On ACS side for group named "Network Administrators" you should configure in TACACS settting:
1. Shell (exec) enable
2. Privilege level 15
3. Custom attributes:
           shell:Admin*Admin default-domain
    if you have additional context add next line
          shell:mycontext*Admin default-domain
After loging to ACE and issuing sh users command you should see following
User             Context                                                                  Line     Login Time   (Location)        Role   Domain(s)
*adm-x        Admin                                                                    pts/0   Sep 21 12:24 (x.x.x.x)    Admin   default-domain
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Anisha
