Ciscoworks backup configuration routers and switches

Re: How to configure configuration backup in CiscoWorks
Go to RME - Admin - Config Management
From there you can edit your Transport, Archive and Collection Settings.
Once this is done everything should be setup for config collection.
hey, i am trying to configure automaticaly backup.
i added the equipment to RME some is grey and some is good.
RME>Administration>Config Managment
there: Archive location : here some directory
then i go to, Collection Settings and make Periodic Polling and Periodic Collection . Enable and Schedule to 5 minutes from now
then i wait like 20 minutes no backup was created in the directory i choose, plus- does it backup everything in the rme ? or should i somewhere mark
the devices i wanna backup
thanks in advance
Ben

the folders exist in the location you mentioned
shadow > primary,vlan etc..
, but i'll check cause it might have been created with the admin account which opened an account for me.
as for your question i'm using version LMS2.6
theres the server itself users and theres the ciscoworks user under Security,
how do i ensure that the user can write over that folder?
as for the equipment(grey) i believe it's an snmp community mismatch, that is not important i'll fix that just after i manage to make a config backup.
the main question is, is Collection backup the entire equipment that exist in the rme devices or i have to pick.
Thank you very much for your time
Ben.

SNMP MIB to configure the routers and switches

I have snmp write community string configured on all routers and switches. I am looking for a SNMP MIB to configure a command to Cisco routers and switches using SNMPSET option. Can some one point me in right direction for SNMP MIB values to write commands on routers and switches ?

Hi,
there are many, many mibs. Depends on what you are interested about, use search function on CCO. This is voip forum, there is another for network management.

Ask the Expert: Packet Capture Capabilities of Cisco Routers and Switches

With Rahul Rammanohar
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about packet capture capabilities of Cisco routers and switches.
In May 2013, we created a video that included packet capture capabilities across multiple Cisco routers and switches. For each product, we began with a discussion about the theory of the capabilities, followed by an explanation of the commands, and we concluded with a demo on real devices. In this Ask the Expert event, you’re encouraged to ask questions about the packet capture capabilities of these Cisco devices:
•       7600/6500: mini protocol analyzer (MPA), ELAM, and Netdr
•       ASR9k: network processor capture
•       7200/ISRs: embedded packet capture
•       Cisco Nexus 7K, 5K, and 3K: Ethanalyzer
•       Cisco Nexus 7K: ELAM

Hello Erick
    Thanks for the topology. The trigger will be different for labelled packet as you would need to mention the values of labels too in the trigger.
     Below are two examples of one or two labels being used, it depends on where you are capturing the packet in mplsvpn scenario which will decide teh number of labels being imposed on the packet.
Trigger for one label. (if the router on which you are capturing the packet PHP is being performed)
VPN label - 5678
Source Address - 111.111.111.111
Destination Address - 123.123.123.123
show platform capture elam trigger dbus others if data = 0 0 0 0x88470162 0xE0000000 0 0 0x00006F6F 0x6F6F 7B7B 0x7B7B0000 [ 0 0 0 0xffffffff 0xf0000000 0 0 0x0000ffff 0xffffffff 0xffff0000 ]
Trigger for two labels. (for other core routers)
IGP label - 1234
VPN label - 5678
Source Address - 111.111.111.111
Destination Address - 123.123.123.123
show platform capture elam trigger dbus others if data = 0 0 0 0x8847004D 0x20000162 0xE0000000 0 0 0x00006F6F 0x6F6F7B7B 0x7B7B0000 [ 0 0 0 0xffffffff 0xf000ffff 0xf0000000 0 0 0x0000ffff 0xffffffff 0xffff0000 ]
    You can check the labels being used (by using show ip cef <> details) and covert their values to hex and change the trigger accordingly.
     I have changed the colors for better understanding. If you notice carefully in the trigger the values for ip address, labels have just been converted to their respective hex values which could be replaced.
     Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks & Regards

Time and date are set incorrectly on the routers and switches

I've just noticed that the date and time on all my Cat4006's, Cat3548's and Cat6000 were grossly incorrect. I was wondering if this would contribute to problems I am having on the network. Does the switches/routers check the timestamp on the packets it's passing and/or append or add thereto?

Date and time set on routers and swithces will not affect your user data traffic.
Keeping Date and time synchronized across network devies will help if you are troubleshooting your network.
If you need to keep date and time synchronized across all the network devices, use NTP (Network Time Protocol)

Slow network speed after connecting to routers and switch

Hello
The following is my test setup I have running at my house for some practice and leaning
Some reason the PC1 which is a laptop is getting very horrid internet / download speeds, and I am trying to narrow down why.
Example, on my main desktop that is connected right to the Arris Cable modem / router I get around 34Mbps down. But the laptop that is connected in the topology above, is getting 0.06 Mbps down
I am not sure if there are settings that need to be checked on the routers or what could cause this, I am figuring the traffic is bogging at some place.
Thanks

Update on some things I have tried
As I am not sure the cause, I have been reading and trying different things, last thing was to set the interfaces to Duplex Full
I did this on both the Ethernet ports on the routers, and both of the Fast Ethernet ports being used on the switch, but has not changed the speed that PC1 is getting.
Also turned on CEF on both routers

Achieving Redundancy with Cisco Routers and Switches

I have two 2600 routers connected to two different ISP and in turn these are connected back to our head office to a 3560 series switch.Iam trying to set up the different connections such that if one ISP connection fails the other one takes over immeadiately.I know i could use HSRP for redundancy but the problem iam facing is the two routers are in different subnets, so it may not be possible to use HSRP in this case.I could be wrong but any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
some questions to ask you
1- 3550 is working as L3 or L2
if L3 than you can use static route pointing to two different router.if L2 than use secondary address in ethernet infaces of router and run HSRP but for this you need to match vlan.
2- if intervlan is configured on router's than it will be very easy.

TCP Syslog output for routers and switches

I am installing a Log Correlation Server at a Customer site whom is very heavy Cisco.
I have a 3825 at their Border, ASA boxes on both sides of the DMZ, and 40 + cisco Switches in the Infrastructure routing between Production VLAN's.
One of the features fo the Logging Server is the ability to accept TCP connections for Syslog.
Does this functionality also exist on the 3825 Router? How about a 3550 switch? Or a 4500 switch?
Thanks

It exist on all of those product.

The difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Cisco Routers and Catalyst switches

Hello
I am investigating the difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Routers and Switches.
Basically dot1x auth is availlable on Catalyst Switches. however if I want to check to
PortBased Multi-Auth , MAC address Auth and any certification Auth with this feature,
Is it possible to integrate into Cisco Router such as Cisco 891F ?
In my opinion Cisco891F is also available to use basic IEEE802.1x but if it compares with Catalyst switches such as Cat3560X
I think there might be any unsupported feature on Cisco 891F.
I appreciate any information. thank you very much in advance.

Many time in interviews asked comaprison between cisco routers and switches that i was answerless bcoz i dont have much knowledge about that.Can anyone provide me the compariosin sheet of the same.how are the cisco devices differ with each other how much Bandwidth each routres support and Etc...
Ummmm ... The most common question I get is "what is the difference between a router and a switch".
However, if you get a question like this, then my impression to this line of questioning are:
1. The candidate they are looking for has in-depth knowledge of routers and switches. And I mean IN-DEPTH!;
2. They are not looking for a candidate. They just want to stroke their ego. There is not alot of people who can give you the "names and numbers" of routers and switches at a snap of a finger. And if you do happen to know the answer, then and there, then expect a tougher follow-up question.

Syslog for router and switch

Hi all,
Any one help me to configure router and switch log on windows server. I dont have any idea please send me link or guide to configure syslog server on windows. For PPTP vpn users also.

Hi,
Are you asking, "How do I set up my Windows server as a Syslog Server"... in order to receive messages from your routers and switches?
If so, I'd suggest a google search on syslog server - locate and download the software there, and it should have a configuration guide with it.
Was this the information you were looking for?

Two different Routers and same subnet, is it possible?

Hi i have been presented with a problem that a friend of mine is having.
There is two different Cisco routers on different location.
example:
router1 : 10.8.10.1 (has DHCP/FTP server)
router2 : 10.8.12.1 (needs to talk to DHCP/FTP server on router1)
the router2 has different ip configured but is it possible to change this to the same subnet as router 1? like 10.8.10.4?
The DHCP/FTP server have been defined with scope 10.8.12.0 and on the Cisco switch on router2 its been configured (ip helper address DHCP-IP)
this works, the clients connected to router2 gets ip from DHCP server ,but there is no FTP traffic.
i figure its because the DHCP/FTP server doesent understand the other IP, so if its possible to setup a kind of mulitVPN to get the same subnet on router2 as router1 the FTP server can "see" the other router2 because it has the same subnet and ip range.
Thank you for any experience, i really stuck on this one

John,
to simply put it having two routers on the same subnet is not possible as the purpose of a router is to route traffic between DIFFERENT networks. In order to accomplish this you will need routers and switches that understand VLANs and VLAN tagging.
Hope this Helps

Router and Switch Passwords

Hi all
What is the difference in setting passwords to access the console, Telnet (line vty 0 4) and other passwords in routers and switches. Are all the commands and where you set the passwords at the cmd prompts the same etc
Regards

console password is used to authenticate user when user will try to access device through console port.
Telnet password is used to authenticate user when user will telnet to the device from remotely.

Nics and Switch - single point of failure ?

Hi all
we have installed our RAC on two Dell Poweredge 1855 Blades.
These blades have a limitaitton on two nics. The blades are in a chassis with two embedded switches.
Now our problem is: is it possible to configure nics and switches so that the switches will not be a single point of failure ?
We have tried different configurations but we did not see any solution.
My opinion is that three nics are needed to achieve intracluster redundancy with two switches so that this hardware is not a good solution.
What do You think about ?
Regards
Paolo

We pull the cable on the public NIC, and the VIP
never fails over. This is on Solaris 10.When you pull the interface cable out on node1 can you still ping from this node itself (node1) and its VIP (node1-vip)?
Could you paste output from "crs_stat -p <vip_resource_name>"?
(vip_resource_name is like "ora.node1.vip")
I want to see if VIP monitoring interval is not 0 (in this case it's not monitored).
If not, than I would check logs into $ORA_CRS_HOME/logs/<nodename>/racg/ora.<nodename>.vip.log
I doubt you will see lots of details but you can enable debug tracing by setting USR_ORA_DEBUG=1 (what you see in crs_stat -p is USR_ORA_DEBUG=0 be default).

Configurator - supervised devices and switching computers

I manage a number of iPads through Configurator that we have supervised, and our company is making us upgrade computers. Will I have to gather the iPads and un-supervise them then setup Configurator from scratch on the new computer or is there a way to transfer the profiles/etc?

In addition to backing up the iOS apps, there are other files, too.
See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5194
or read this:
Note: If you use third-party backup software, make sure that the directory ~/Library/Application Support is not excluded from the backup.
To recover your Apple Configurator data from a Time Machine backup:
Choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu extra or System Preference pane.
Press Command-Shift-G and type: ~/Library/Application Support
Select the item "com.apple.configurator" in the backup with the appropriate date.
Click Restore.
If you are using third-party backup software, follow its instructions to restore ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator.
You may also want to recover the following information from the backup of the same date:
~/Library/Keychains, to recover the Supervision Certificate and public and private keys. These will allow supervised devices to reconnect to the host computer.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.configurator.plist, to restore Configurator settings and preferences.
Restoring data to a new Mac
If you restore the files and folders listed above to a new Mac, you can use it to manage devices supervised by the previous Apple Configurator Mac.
Additional Information
If you have supervised devices with Apple Configurator and you lose the Apple Configurator data files, the devices will still be supervised by the Mac that is running Configurator, but Apple Configurator will not be able to reinstall app backups or user data onto those supervised devices.
It is especially important to back up Apple Configurator information if you are using VPP codes. After a VPP code has been redeemed, only the Apple Configurator database keeps a record of what device that code was redeemed for. If this database is lost, and the app is deleted from the device, Apple Configurator will not be able to reuse the redeemed code in order to install the app, and you will need to purchase and redeem additional codes to replace the app on a device.
~
I make sure my iPad configurator machine has regular TimeMachine backups. A 500GB USB2 drive is enough to handle the initial startup disk backup & incrementals afterwards. It is important to have a dedicated machine for profile tasks, too. An Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz or greater Mac Mini should suffice and is quite inexpensive.

How to protect a PIM-SM network from unauthorized pim routers and multicast sources?

Hi,
we're using pim sparse mode in a customer network with catalyst 2/3/4/6K switches, all multicast routers are redundant with pim dr running for access subnets. RPs are configured with anycast rp.
A) Is there any possiblity to prevent rogue pim routers/igmp queriers connected to host ports from getting connected to the legal pim routers and from getting involved in the local igmp traffic?
Maybe like DHCP Snooping used with DHCP. I read that in the latest Sup2T ios (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/15-2SY/config_guide/sup2T/15_2_sy_swcg_2T.pdf) there is a feature called 'ipv4 router guard' which does exactly what we're looking for:
'When configured, the Router Guard feature makes the specified port a host port only. The port is prevented from becoming a router port, even if a multicast router control packets are received. In addition, any control packets normally received from multicast routers, such as IGMP queries and PIM joins, will also be discarded by this filter.'
Afaik, PIM authentication isn't supported in current catalyst ios versions.
Using a normal port ACL is not an option in our case because of a management decision.
B) Is there any possibility to prevent (on a per-subnet basis) rogue sources from sending multicast streams to legal multicast-groups?
Maybe, can I configure a svi of a host subnet or a host port to drop any incoming multicast stream while still accepting IGMP and sending out legal multicast streams?
Using 'ip pim accept-register' command on the rp is not an option because we've tons of legal sources which would end in an very huge error-prone acl
Unfortunately, a normal ACL is not an option here, too.
Best Regards
Thorsten

We use two pim routers in each host subnet for redundancy, they elect the PIM DR.
Does pim passive mode work here?
(Config Guide: If the ip pim passive command is configured on an interface enabled for IP multicast, the router will operate this interface in PIM passive mode, which means that the router will not send PIM messages on the interface nor will it accept PIM messages from other routers across this interface. The router will instead consider that it is the only PIM router on the network and thus act as the DR and also as the DF for all bidir-PIM group ranges. IGMP operations are unaffected by this command. ... The redundant PIM stub router topology is not supported. The redundant topology exists when there is more than one PIM router forwarding multicast traffic to a single access domain. PIM messages are blocked, and the PIM asset and designated router election mechanisms are not supported on the PIM passive interfaces.)
ip pim neighbor-filter maybe would work to prevent rogue pim routers to connect to the legal pim routers but wouldn't rogue pim routers still be able to manipulate the layer2 switch to send all igmp traffic to them and not to the legal pim routers?
