Delay the boot of IOS

Hi,
I had a question regarding delaying the boot sequence of IOS, specifically for a Cisco ASA 5525 firewall.
The reason for this is because the firewalls are regularly powered up and down, and they are in an active/standby configuration. The problem is when they are powered, they power at the same time and often the main firewall ends up in standby mode and the backup firewall ends up in active. Which isn't how I want them to be on startup, I only ever want the backup firewall to become active if the main firewall fails.
I've googled around a bit but couldn't find anything obvious, I just assumed delaying the boot of the backup firewall would give the main firewall time to boot and take precedence first. But maybe there is a better way of doing this?
If anybody could share any advice I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

hi,
you can tweak the polltime/holdtime to delay the pre-emption on both units.

IMHO if power is unstable, i would install a UPS instead.

Apple has reportedly delayed the release of iOS 5.0.2

Apple has reportedly delayed the release of iOS 5.0.2, German-language technology blog Macerkopf.de said on Monday. Rumors surfaced last week suggesting that Apple was preparing to release the update, which is expected to address poor battery life with iOS 5, out of the door before the end of this week. Macerkopf.de said iOS 5.0.2 has been delayed to fix “address-based memory leaks,” or bugs that cause apps to consume memory without releasing resources once they are no longer needed. A new release date for iOS 5.0.2 has reportedly not yet been scheduled.

I saw it when i searching the web again today Apple has reportedly delayed the release of iOS 5.0.2

Delay the first dot1x authentication message after a port comes up

Cisco ISE: 1.2
Switch IOS: 15.0.2.EX4
Hello,
I have configured the APs to authenticate with 802.1X via the switch.
When I shut the port on which the AP is connected and then no shut it, the port comes up a few seconds later and the switch sends a dot1x authentication.
I feel that the AP has not finished to boot and that's why it fails because the AP doesn't answer that authentication request.
I was wondering if it's possible to delay the first authentication message the switch sends just after a port comes up ?
When I use debug commands I see
%DOT1X-5-FAIL: Authentication failed for client (Unknown MAC) on Interface Gi3/0/18 AuditSessionID 00000000000006567DDB81C9
%AUTHMGR-7-RESULT: Authentication result 'no-response' from 'dot1x' for client (Unknown MAC) on Interface Gi3/0/18 AuditSessionID 00000000000006567DDB81C9
%AUTHMGR-7-FAILOVER: Failing over from 'dot1x' for client (Unknown MAC) on Interface Gi3/0/18 AuditSessionID 00000000000006567DDB81C9
%AUTHMGR-7-NOMOREMETHODS: Exhausted all authentication methods for client (Unknown MAC) on Interface Gi3/0/18 AuditSessionID 00000000000006567DDB81C9
%AUTHMGR-5-FAIL: Authorization failed or unapplied for client (Unknown MAC) on Interface Gi3/0/18 AuditSessionID 00000000000006567DDB81C9
NB: you'll see exhausted all authentication methods because I only configured dot1x on the port (no mab or anything else)
Thank you for all answers

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. That document is very interesting.
I've just read the chapter regarding the profiling with APs so far and got them working properly the way they showed it.
However I'm not a big fan of MAB and profiling. Because ISE retieves CDP informations collected through SNMP.
- You need CDP (or LLDP) enabled and you might not want that for different reasons (Security, Interoperability...)
- A machine could lie about its identity and pretend through CDP that it's a controller, an AP, a printer and so on.
That's why the best option, in my opinion would be that the AP sends its credentials and ISE accept it or reject is.
It's possible to do this with the Cisco APs
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4400-series-wireless-lan-controllers/99791-eapfast-wlc-rad-config.html
I'm wondering why Cisco chooses a different EAP method for each of their devices (EAP-MD5 -> Cisco Phones, EAP-FAST -> AP)
So in my humble opinion, the mab/profiling solution is good but not optimal.

Please answer once and for all the boot green screen

I have searched everywhere for an answer since my issue.
Relevant info:
iPhone 3GS.
iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (2012-09-12).
Doesn't matter what system I have since this is related to an iPhone device.
Fully charged battery before proceeding with the update.
Updated the iOS 5.1.1 of the iPhone to iOS 6.0 through required update recommendation of iTunes.
Never been abused, jailbroken, serviced or dropped. (never had issues until the update)
Once completed the updated process of iTunes and iPhone was done with the internal installation, the iPhone rebooted with a green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It loaded up to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
I pressed on the power button for 5 seconds and slide "slide to power off" and the iPhone turned off. I waited about 15 seconds and pressed on the power button to turn the iPhone back on, hoping no more green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" but returned to the original green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver".
Failed!
It still showed green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" and booted to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
Remedies tried after searching the internet:
Hard Restart/Reset.
DFU Mode. (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery Mode (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery from Backup is denied because previous version was iOS 5.1.1 and iTunes refuses the process so (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Left the iPhone at the Configure screen until battery drained and then plugged it back into the USB port of system until it charged long enough for the iPhone to boot yet again green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It booted to the iPhone Configure screen which is still the green screen/hue and I left it charging until battery icon top right showed full.
Now, can someone give a straight answer while staying on this topic about this issue, please?
*I can understand if the apple logo was green then it could be a screen issue but it is not the case.
All help is greatly appreciated even if you took the time to read all of this but did not answer.
Thank you!

At first I had troubles similar to what you describe;
initially, part of the problem was that my hosting company had not
yet upgraded to CF 7.02. One other thing I had to correct: when you
upload to your server, upload the entire ‘bin’ (or
whatever your output folder is) minus the debug SWF.
If it would help with other issues, contact me and I will be

Why can't I restore the same version IOS that's on my phone?

My iPhone 4s has apps on it that are not iOS 6x or even 7x compatible. iTunes/Apple won't let me restore the same version of iOS 5 that is currently on my phone that won't boot up. I have no options anymore except to pay.
1. I can pay a developer to migrate the app I use for work to iOS7 and eventually run into the same problem later and pay AGAIN.
2. I can ditch Apple (because there is no logical reason for this) and pay to go over to a Google phone and pay to migrate my app over to android but have the peace of mind that I won't be forced to do what android wants me to do anymore.
I bought an iPhone, an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4S. I don't like using the latest and greatest because I only really care about doing what *I* want to do with *MY* phone. I don't like being told I can't have what I've been using for the past 2 years because Apple has changed a policy or something.
Is Apple doing ANYTHING for people like me or are we just screwed? Can anyone explain why Apple would disallow reinstallation of an iOS i've been using for years now?

if you're saying the default function of 'restore' has always been update to latest for your device you'd all be correct.. but that's not what i'm talking about. shift+click restore and you'll be prompted to browse for your firmware. since the dawn of the iphone (ask anyone that's actually used this feature) you have always been able to use this feature to install same-version ios as to what version is on the device. in the past it was more open, allowing you to update to any version above the one you're on, but that was taken away back in IOS3.. for example.
i'm sure for the average user who has no idea what version ios they use or want this would be completely transparent so i don't really blame you for not knowing or using this feature. for others like me this is a big deal. hopefully someone else who is on the same page as i am will chime in..
i think it's a little crazy to force your users to only use the specific version ios you want them to. have you tried ios7 on an ipad2? hello lag. there are more reasons than mine to want to be able to control what software runs on YOUR hardware.. think about it.

What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
There are two major problems with the music app.
1. Lyrics no longer displayed
2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.

Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How can i delay the present of direct connected route?

Hi, I got 2 3550SMI switch interconnecting by Etherchannel. Each 3550 has an uplink to its upstream router (R1-SW1=SW2-R2). R1 and R2 connects to the remote site routers (say R3 and R4).
With EIGRP redistribute connected, R1 update the direct connected network via WAN link A to R3 where R2 does the same thing updating R4 via WAN link B.
The failover is fine after SW2 powered off. However, problem occured when I powered up SW2. During the bootup of SW2, there was carrier signal which brought up the ethernet port of R2 and the direct connected route presented in R2 then updating R4. Some of the traffic had started to come over from R4 via WAN link B to R2 while SW2 is still booting. (or Etherchannel was not yet ready). As a result, workstation connecting to SW1 cannot be reached for those traffic came from R4->R3->SW2.
I have tried to use "carrier-delay 60"on the ethernet port of R2. It seems solve the problem since the direct connected route delay 60sec. Within that 60 sec, no update via EIGRP from R2 to R4 so that all traffic still went through R3->R1. After that 60 sec, SW2 had already bootup and the etherchannel was also ready.
However, i can only do it with C3725 router. I've tried 1750, 25xx, 26xx and 3640-12.3T but the behavior was not expected (route still present immediately after carrier signal detected).
My questions are:
Is that command valid on Eth or FE interface?
Is there any different using that command with diff. router series, eg. ISR (18xx,28xx,38xx)?
Is there any condition that I could make it work? (at least 3725 worked)
Is there any other way to delay the present of that direct connected route?
Thanks.

Hello,
instead of the 'carrier-delay' command, you could try to change the EIGRP hello and hold-time intervals (which default to 5 and 15 seconds respectively on broadcast media such as Ethernet), in order to delay EIGRP convergence. So, on your Ethernet interfaces when you use the interface commands:
ip hello-time eigrp x 60
ip hold-time eigrp x 180
the redistributed routes will show up only after 60 seconds, which effectively does the same as the 'carrier-delay'...
Can you try that and see if that works for you ?

My ipad is stuck on the boot logo with loading bar

okay this is my first time using apple community so I'm sorry if my review doesn't provide enough info.
i own a iPad 2 running IOS 8.1.2, last i checked i hat about 2 gigabytes left
okay so here is what happened i was reseting my iPad and suddenly it stopped at a the boot logo, but it also had a loading bar underneath it.
a while a similar thing happened where it was stuck on a infinite boot loop but the steps i took to remedy that don't work for this situation.
i tried putting my iPad into DFU mode and restoring it from a iTunes back up backup.
when this happened i was on 20% so i will let it do its thing until it run out of power.
thank you for any feedback you can provide.

okay this a update to what is going on. I tried putting it in dfu mode again thinking maybe i didn't do it right the first time, so what happened was the loading bar went away but the apple logo stayed, after a few seconds it went back to a apple logo with a loading bar.
then a bit later iTunes said welcome to your new iPad so i clicked restore from back up for awhile it said estimating time but then it said a error occurred.

How do i set my mac to boot into ios and not windows

After having used Bootcamp to install windows8.1. When i restart the mac it automatically boots into windows, unless i use the option key to choose mac-ios.
I require mac-ios on a daily basis so I want to change this so that the computer automatically boots into mac-ios first, as i only require the windoes programs occasionally.
Please help

2 ways
OSX, system preferences then startup diisk
Windows, click the boot camp icon (gray diamond) in notification area
Pick the default

Delay the startup of certain applications

I am having a problem in that when I start my G4 PowerBook, iChat AV starts BEFORE the Airport connection is completed (I have an old, old, old, did I mention it was old, Graphite Airport). I have iChat set to start up automatically so it tries to start before the computer connects with the Airport. Is there a way to delay the startup of Applications until the Airport connection is made? Is there another way I can have iChat start automatically when booting, but start AFTER it's found the Airport connection? Yes, I know I need to buy a new Airport, but I spent all my money on the G4 PowerBook!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
G4 Powerbook 17" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Beige G3, Wallstreet, Clamshell

Delete the apps from Login items and simply click on their Dock icons to launch. That will speed up the boot process. Yes, you could probably write a script, but manually launching is the simple way.

Delay the mounting of network drives at startup?

Can i delay the mounting of my network drives (cifs) at the boot up?
I want to do this to be able to start network in the background at the boot up since thats the procedure slowing down the boot up at the moment.
Thank you in advance.

Ahh ! I wasn't sure which statement you were refuting.
but this confuses me a little. We normally background DAEMONS to increase boot speed (or atleast one of the reasons). So I assume that when you background it, you run it parallely along with moving ahead in your startup process -- namely starting up other daemons and bringing up the login screen/Display Manager or booting straight to X.
Correct
Inxsible wrote:OTOH, unmarked daemons actually get started before going ahead in the start up process. So wouldn't that mean that they might get started before anything else is processed...?
Why?
Here is the code:
# Start daemons
for daemon in "${DAEMONS[@]}"; do
if [ "$daemon" = "${daemon#!}" ]; then
if [ "$daemon" = "${daemon#@}" ]; then
start_daemon $daemon
else
start_daemon_bkgd ${daemon:1}
fi
fi
done
if [ -x /etc/rc.local ]; then
/etc/rc.local
fi
Translated into human language:
For every daemon in the DAEMON array do:
If daemon has not the prefix "!" do:
if daemon has not the prefix "@" do: start the daemon --> AND wait for comletion
else do: start the daemon in background --> AND don't wait for completion
Process rc.local
Hope thats clear now

After the update to iOS 7.0 my wifi doesn't allow to be turned on, after the update to iOS 7.0 my wifi doesn't allow to be turned on

after the update to iOS 7.0 my wifi doesn't allow to be turned on.

Well, I've never paid that much attention to it, since I use the Touch ID on my 5S. I just purposely just clicked the home button and there does seem to be a delay, but again I can't be sure about before. I have had no issues with my device, so I'm guessing here, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, since I can actually slide it without that phrase even being on the screen.

Please help. cant acces either mac, windows or the boot manager

Hello. Im having some problems with my imac. When i start my mac up i can't open the boot menu by holding down the alt button. it goes directly into iOS and freezes. i had no problems with it yesterday and all of the sudden i cant. please help me, im using my mac for all my assignments and cant afford anything new.
I think im running with mac leopard.
When i try to acces the bootcamp menu by holding down alt, it's like my keyboard isnt connected and it goes straight to the mac startup and i can now see the capslock button light (if i activated it)
sorry for all the typeerrors, im using an old keyboard so some of the keys are kinda... yh

It's not the keyboard. i've allready tried to change it. also if i turn on the pc without doing anything and letting it open mac as it should, it just freezes with the mac logo. The loading icon still spins though.

Resetting all settings on iPhone makes it stuck at the boot screen endlessly

This is the second time my iPhone stuck at the boot screen and won't boot again until of course I restore all over again.
This problem happened on iOS 8 and iOS 8.1.2
Does anyone have an explanation for this problem or the iOS until this release is buggy?

Hi Try a Reboot press and hold power button and menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo. This may take up to 50 Seconds. Cheers Brian
