Config.text Confusion on a Router

Dear All,
I am having a confusion regarding the system's startup config.The Startup config for the Switch is saved in the flash as Config.text. But why isn't this Config.text not present in the routers flash?? and also if not in the flash then where is it present on a router?
Please enlighten me on this topic.

Hello Ahmed,
On a router the startup is in the nvram.
Try the following command:
VG1#dir nvram:
Directory of nvram:/
243 -rw- 11940 <no date> startup-config
Hope this helps,
if so, please rate.
Thanks.

Private-config.text

What exactly is contained in the private-config.text file, and how does that defer from the config.text file? The little bit I could find on it is that it hold encrypted information, and that is why access is denied to viewing its contents.

Hi,
Private-config file is a secure file that is part of the startup configuration. It supports encryption technologies, but it is not user accessible. Private-config is used to store SSH, IPsec, SNMPv3 related info. Its not beneficial to a user from any standpoint. Hence, a user can not read from or write to it.

WRE54G Web Config Page Setup - also Belkin Router F5D6321

What: I'm reposting my "reply post" text from a previous post (see below). The first time I posted it, I forgot to use "html carriage returns", so the text was hard to read. The proper carriage-returns should show in the text below.

The original text (with carriage returns) is shown below --->:
Before you access the Range Expander's web page, you need to gather some information (that you'll need once you do access the WRE54G web page).
You need:
1) The "IP Address" (of your Router/Wireless Access Point as seen by your local network). This will be something like "192.168.1.254" (depending on your local network's range of IP addresses).
2) The "Sub-net Mask" (for your Router/Wireless Access Point as seen by your local network). Usually, this will be "255.255.255.0" (or "255.255.255.255").
3) The (Default) "Gateway" Address (for your Router/Wireless Access Point as seen by you local network). This will usually be the "first" IP address in your network's range of IP addresses. For our example network above having a range of IP addresses of 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.255, the first IP address is "192.168.1.1" and so the "Gateway" Address will probably be "192.168.1.1".
4) The "SSID" (Site Survey ID) of your network. This is the network name of your local network (i.e. the one you originally logged onto the network if you've already connected your computer wirelessly up with the router/wireless Access Point).
5) The "Channel" your Wireless Access Point is using (from "1" through "11". A typical "Channel" used is "6".
6) Wireless Network Encryption - you need to know if you are using encryption on your wireless network. You'll most likely either not be using it or your will be using either 40-bit (really 64-bit) WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption, 128-bit WEP encryption, or the newer standard WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) security settings. When you get to the WRE54G web-based configuration page, you will need to "enable" Security Settings (if yoiur using it) and then, in the next web config page that appears, enter WEP encryption key or enter the WPA-PSK pre-shared key used that is currently used for your local wireless network.
NOTE: In the WRE54G web configuration page, if you are using encryption, BEFORE you enter the info (into the web-page configuration fields) noted in Item 1 through 5 above, you will want to click the "enable" button for "Wirelss Security", then click on the "Edit Security Settings" button, enter your encryption key on the next web page that appears, and then click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the web-page. The WRE54G will save your security setting to its Flash memory and then re-boot itself. You may want to unplug/replug the AC power to the WRE54G at this time and then re-log in to the WRE54G at its IP address of 192.168.1.240 (which I will explain how to do below).
Before accessing the WRE54G web-based configuration page by pointing your web browser to "192.168.1.240", do the following:
A. Connect the Ethernet cable that came with the WRE54G Ver.3 to the WRE54G (lift the small lid on the top of the WRE54G and plug the Ethernet CAT-5 cable into the RJ-45 jack there). Then plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your computers RJ-45 jack (I assume your computer has one, right?).
B. Change your computer's IP Address to use a "Manual" IP address rather than "DHCP". Then enter the following "static" IP address: "192.168.1.50". This is an good example address, but other addresses in the range of "192.161.1.XXX" where X is 1 to 255 will work (except I would not use 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.240, or 192.168.1.255).
C. Plug the WRE54G into the AC power. (check the lights on the WRE54G to make sure they are correct - the WRE54G startup documentation talks about this or I can give details later).
D. Boot up your computer (make sure the network setting still show "manual" IP address and a static IP address of "192.168.1.50".
E. Bring up your web browser and enter into the address field the WRE54G's IP address of "192.168.1.240".
F. In less than a minute, the web-based configuration page should appear. Proceed cautiously to enter the configuration values as I've noted above in Steps 1 - 6. After clicking on the "Save" button at the bottom of the WRE54G's web pages, the WRE54G will always do a "reboot". I suggest unplugging and replugging the WRE54G into the AC after each reboot (just to make sure a cold reboot actually happens).
NOTE: I would also suggest that you enter the "IP Address" of the Wireless Access Point (see Step 1 above) LAST after entering and saving all the other WRE54G configuration values. That way, you will still be able to log onto the WRE54G at the default IP Address of "192.168.1.240" and make sure all the values are saved correctly (in case you make a mistake and enter the wrong IP Address for the Wireless Access Point). Note that each time you reboot the WRE54G and log into it with your web browser, you will want to "Refresh" the web-page screen when you go to "192.168.1.240" so you can see the updated page contents. If you screw up the configuration, you can always use the "reset" button (you need to use a paper clip to push it) on the side of the WRE54G to reset the WRE54G back to its default values. Then you can start over from the beginning.
My experience has been that if you have correctly configured the WRE54G and it works on your wireless network, you will be able to unhook the "hard-wired" Ethernet cable (from between the WRE54G and your computer) and still be able to wirelessly access the WRE45G at its IP address of "192.168.1.240" using your web browser
If you want, you can change the WRE54G's Password (or Username and Password) to values only you know so no one will be able to get into your WRE54G and change your settings maliciously or inadvertantly. Let me know if the above helps you or just confuses you.

Hi AngryDrake,
Thanks for providing that information.
Are you working from Parallels, Fusion or from some sort a VPN environment?
If you are using the printer in a virtual environment, then please try accessing the printer's EWS in a regular environment just to see if you have the same results.
Use Safari when accessing the printer's EWS, other browsers sometimes won't allow it to open.
Since the printer is setup on the network and you are able to print, you just can't access the printer's EWS, I would update the firmware on the printer which should allow you then to access the printer's EWS through a regular environment. HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
If you are still having issue, then make sure the printer is connected directly to the Router or Airport and not a switch.
Please let me know the results.
Thank You.

How to config network card to detect router?

Hi everyone,
I am newbie to solaris, I installed solaris on my old PC, and it has the Netgear FA311 card. It is supported by Solaris according to HCL.
however, it doesn't seem like it is auto-detecting the router.. as result, there is not internet connection.
So, may I ask for your help ?
1.) how do I know my existing network card is detected and installed probably in Solaris? is it auto detect?
2.) how do I manually config to detect my router?
Thanks

Are you trying to get an IP using dhcp or static IP.
If your trying to use dhcp then make sure your hostname is in /etc/nodename
and do a "touch /etc/dhcp.<int>" where <int> is the name of the driver for your interface.
If your trying to do static then put the IP of the router in /etc/defaultrouter
And your hostname in /etc/hostname.<int>
And make sure you have an entry for your hostname in /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes

Text messaging to broadband router

I have a 4G LTE data only broadband Router. I am being charged for texts that are being sent to it. Why when I cannot receive texts on it?

I know it may seem strange to be billed for text messages on a broadband router. However,as mentioned by Elector, depending on the make and model, you do have the ability to send & receive text messages with these devcies. They are received through the VZ Access Manager interface downloaded on your pc or laptop. What's the make & model broadband card that you have?
If your router does provide you with text messaging capabilities, you may contact our customer service department to place a text messaging block. This will ensure you will not be billed for unexpected messaging charges.

Linked files and underlined text confusion

I'm running into some unexplained and strange behaviors in a simple Web page I just put up. The URL is http://www.elliottbaypipeband.com/Chunes/EBPBMusic/2011Music.html
Problem 1:
I've linked PDF files to text that describes the tune names. These links work fine. I've also linked "EP3" files to the little note icon that precedes the tune name. These links don't work. The different browsers report the linked file isn't found.
Problem 2:
There are four text containers on the page. The first line of text in the first one "Tunes of Glory", is displayed correctly without any underlining. The first line of text in the other three "Concert Music", "Competition Music", and "Legend" are all underlined. Similarly, all of the text in the Legend text container are underlined when viewed in a browser. Only the Comments one should be as it is linked to an email address.
I can't figure out these problems. Any ideas from the experts?
Thanks

I think I have sorted out these problems.
The EP3 linked file problem was a a file type not explicitly allowed on the Web server I was using. I can fix that.
I worked-around the odd font underlining by using a subtle shadow setting. Now the page looks like I want it to at lease in Safari. It seems that there are a number of quirks like this in iWeb. That's a little disappointing but certainly not a show stopper and not surprising. Software always has quirks.

Using JAAS without config text files

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to develop an application using JAAS for authentication and authorization, but I don't want to depend on the text files for configuration.
This application is going to be distributed using Webstart, so I don't know which configuration the user will have.
Is there anyway to bypass these files?
Thanks a lot,
Luis Javier

For the LoginModule part, you could try to set your own Configuration object.
Ses javax.security.auth.login.Configuration.setConfiguration
You should be able to inherit from Configuration and provide your own method to
provide AppConfigEntries.

Hi, I need to config my network, have to Routed it.

Config storage confusion 2504 controller with CAP702I

HI all,
I've been tasked with the rollout of the above mentioned hardware, and I've managed to get so far, but it seems I cannot do a 'copy running-config startup-config' on the CAP702I Aironet access points.
ive got then registered with the controller and radios turned on but the problem is that it the power is cycled the radios turn off, I can SSH into each AP and manually turn them on and it works all fine except I shouldn't need to do that.
If anyone could give me a clue as to how to change the ap config to either store the config with radios enabled on restart on the device itself or guide me through storing the config on the 2504 controller and pointing to it on the ap devices for their startup, it would be much appreciated.

So simply wireless clients are not getting ip address from the DHCP scope defined for them on AD DHCP server.
few facts about DHCP handling on WLC:
- With DHCP proxy enabled , the controller acts as relay agent.
Simply you configure primary or may be secondary DHCP server under the interface config.
When the client starts the DHCP process the controller will rekay the clients DHCP packets
in unicast form.
- With DHCP proxy disabled , the controller will not intervene at all, and the client traffic will be sent
as broadcast. If the DHCP server is on different VLAN , you have to configure relay agent under the gateway
of the client vlan so that it can reach the DHCP server.

Airport Express Confusion - Hubs, Switches, Router

I am totally frustrated with trying to get my Airport Express to work. I have an older dual-processor G4 WITHOUT an airport card. It is connected to a 4-port Fast Ethernet Hub (Netgear FE-104). Also connected to the Hub is a cable modem and Laserjet printer. When I ordered my new MacBook Pro I asked the Apple sales rep if I could access the internet on the MacBook Pro in another room. I explained exactly the specs above. I asked if I needed an airport card in the G4 and he said no. He recommended ordering an Airport Express (not Extreme) and said to connect the Airport Express to the Hub with an Ethernet cable. I did that and tried and tried to get both computers to access the internet. Nothing worked. I called Apple Tech Support and the very patient guy went through the whole process but told me to connect the Airport Express directly to the cable modem. Well, that defeats everything I am trying to do. He could not get both computers on the network. I called the Apple rep back and he thought there might be something wrong with the AE so I exchanged it. He said I do not need an Airport Extreme, but the Tech Support guy said I did. I hooked the new AE up again as he first suggested...into the HUB. I can only access the internet (one computer at a time) if I plug into the Link/RX Port (only one of these on the HUB). I'm not a network expert but everything on apple.com says this is supposed to be easy to connect 2 computers and use both on the internet simultaneously. I read in DesigningAirportNets.pdf on page 28 that an Ethernet hub is optional. That's what I have. Can anyone help me figure out why this isn't working? I have a HUB but do I need something else? Is Apple's documentation wrong? Isn't the Airport Express a little router? Or is it a Switch? I'm sorry to make this so long but I've spent a ton of hours trying to get this to work. If I bought an Extreme it's not a hub and I can't connect my G4 or printer to it. Thank you for any help.
G4 dual processor + MacBook Pro (1 month old) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

He recommended ordering an Airport Express (not Extreme)...
That was bad advice. Your original setup using a hub to connect multiple devices to your cable modem is troublesome and destined to failure.
He said I do not need an Airport Extreme, but the Tech Support guy said I did.
The "Tech Support guy" was correct.
Isn't the Airport Express a little router?
Yes but since it only has a single Ethernet port, it can not connect to your Ethernet Internet source AND support Ethernet clients at the same time.
You have 3 choices:
Return the AirPort Express and get an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). Then you will configure your network like this:
cable modem-> [WAN] AEBS [LAN]-+-> G4 DP
...............................|-> Laserjet
In that configuration the AEBS will properly share the connection between the Ethernet devices and your MacBook Pro.
OR...
Replace your hub with an inexpensive wired router. Then configure your AirPort Express so that the option to distribute IP addresses is disabled. You will configure your network like this:
cable modem-> router-+-> G4 DP
.....................|-> Laserjet
.....................|-> AirPort Express
In this configuration, the AirPort Express will act solely as a wireless access point. All of your machines will get IP addresses directly from the router.
OR...
Return the AirPort Express and get an inexpensive 802.11g compliant wireless base station. You will configure your network like this:
cable modem-> wireless router-+-> G4 DP
..............................|-> Laserjet

Standard LSMW to load Routing Long text

We are migrating data to sap for Routings. We are using SAP best practices to load the data into sap using idocs. But we dont have idoc structure to load Long Text.
Do you know a LSMW standard direct input to upload the routing long text.
Please help me out.

Yes, you can upload long texts to pretty much any application, routings, boms, material masters, etc.
In LSMW select the following direct input method:
Object               0001   Long texts
Method               0001   (No selection)
Program Name         /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMP
Program Type         D   Direct Input
You can define the following as constants in field mapping and conversion rule.
TDOBJECT C(010) Text: 'ROUTING'
TDID C(004) Text ID : 'PLKO'           <<< if you're uploading to header
TDSPRAS C(001) Language : 'EN'
TDFORMAT C(002) Paragraph format for text line : '*'
If you want upload to operations etc look at the following table
ROUTING     PLFH     Long Text
ROUTING     PLFL     Long Text
ROUTING     PLFT     Long text
ROUTING     PLFV     Long Text
ROUTING     PLKO     Long Text
ROUTING     PLPH     Long text
ROUTING     PLPO     Long Text
internally SAP stores, routing group with zeros padded on the left. For example if your routing group is 200 it will be stored as 00000200 so in your flat file either you have to pad the zeros or in the LSMW you need to use the conversion exit function module.
You can following link below if you want to deeper understanding on this subject.

Disappearance of IP Routing config on 6509

Our 6509 Switch (Cisco WS-C6504-E) suddenly lost its Routing table & entire Routing configs including all Static & Dynamic route configurations.
We had to turn on ip routing & restore the routing configuration .
Have anyone experienced this & does it could be some kind of caveat with the MSFC or the Layer 3 engine .
Any thoughts are welcome.
No config changes were applied to the switch ; except only a SNMP ip address was allowed .
Thanks
Prabs

Ah, ok, thanks. I guess that was pretty obvious, now that I know the answer.
The "ip routing" command isn't mentioned anywhere in the CLI documentation, but I guess if I'd thought about it a little longer, I may have come to the same conclusion.
Thanks Tom.

851 Router Config Issue

Hi all,
Hopefully this will be a nice easy one for you all.
I have recently configured and installed an 851 router successfully :) I now only have one issue, the damn thing switches itself off after a period of inactivity!
If I want to use it again I have to issue a reset command then a boot command.
This takes me to the:
router>
prompt. I then have to issue a copy start run command. And then a no shut on each of my interfaces.
Obviously I would just like the router to stay up and running. But I cant work out how to do it. Im sure that this is just a simple config issue and I would dearly love for you all to solve it!
If any of you know the answer can you please provide clear an accurate commands as I will copy it parrott fashion into the router.
Thank you all in advance.
Stuart

Hello,
as spremkumar already pointed out the config register usually is set to 0x2102. You can reconfigure the register by:
Router#configute terminal
Router(config)#config-register 0x2102
Router(config)#end
Then perform a reload and check whether the config is present after the router finished booting.
Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.
