Design Help with MPLS/BGP and Point to Point VPNs using OSPF as backup

I need some advice on the configuration I want to implement. Basically we have a MPLS cloud using BGP. We are using OSPF for internal routing. Everything is working fine. Now we want to add a Point to Point VPN using new Cisco ASA's for a backup path at all of our remote locations. We want it to be on standby. I want to use OSPF for this. Miami and LA are datacenters. I want the VPN's to go into both datacenters if possible running OSPF for backups. I have a feeling this will be very tricky. I also wanted to use floating routes. Now I know I get the VPN's up and running using OSPF with no problem. Here are my questions:
But being that I am using different areas, will OSPF through the VPN work correctly? I have the Cisco PDF on setting this up but it looks like they are using the same, AREA0, in the example.
Can I get both VPN's to work with no problems? Or will it be too much of a pain?
What would you guys suggest?
Thanks.

We are implementing the same solution, and was only able to make this work using HSRP one router for the MPLS connection and one for the VPN tunnel. I opened a TAC case and the tech couldn't get it to work either. I was able to establish the Lan-2-lan tunnel but triggering the route update was the problem. We ended up pulling our ASA5505's out and putting in 1841 routers.

  • 6500 sup 720 with MPLS, GRE and FWSM problem

    We have 6500 sup 720 with MPLS configured and FWSM in transparent  mode. We also terminate GRE tunnels on the same 6500.
    After implementing the command “mls mpls tunnel-recir” GRE tunnels are hardware switched (which we want them to be), but we don’t have any more connection from locations thru GRE tunnels to servers behind FWSM.
    Does anybody have idea how to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    not sure what you mean exactly.
    the command “mls mpls tunnel-recir” is needed to avoid packets corruption in cases where the Supervisor engine is handling both the GRE header encapsulation and the MPLS label stack imposition. Since it cannot do it in one single shot (without causing random corruption) recirculation is needed. Nevertheless its presence does not influence whether the GRE traffic is handled in hardware or in software. Even without it, IF THE GRE TUNNELS ARE CORRECTLY CONFIGURED (meaning that each GRE tunnels has its unique source address etc.), the traffic is handled in hardware.
    However since you say that after you enabled it you don't have connectivty anymore I suppose that some issue related to recirculation is happening (i.e. traffic ends up in the wrong internal vlan after recirculation).
    Unfortunately the support forum is not meant to help in this case as in-depth troubleshooting is required. For that you need a TAC case.
    regards,

  • Need help with Automating Printer and LPR installation

    I work for someone who has a need for automating the print installation of LPR print port to mac laptops. Obviously this will need to cover anything OS X 10.3 and above. All of this needs to be done command line via a batch file of sorts.
    I am a windows and Linux guy, however I just bought a Mac and starting to like the new Leopard OS and the capabilities of boot camp.
    What I need:
    1) how to install LPR port to the laptop
    2) installing a printer from a some sort of cab file with correct port and drivers. (in windows we use print migrator, however the cab files we use for windows will obviously not work with different port types and drivers)
    3) finally some clean up type script that will clean up any temp files I had to create or such.
    I kind of need this soon so if anyone knows how or could point me in the right direction. It would be greatly appreciated.

    If you force restart the computer on the freeze up, or force quit the printer adding window, does the printer appear in the print and scan system preference?   In other words, did the printer successfully install?  (is it possible that the setup part of the install failed, but the actual install worked?)
    If so, you might be able to set the configurations yourself.
    Open up the print and scan system preference.  Double click on the printer.
    When the printer queue window opens up, you should be able to click on the printer setup button.
    Go through all the tabs and set things up the way you like.

  • I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

    I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all?  I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
    I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
    When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one.  I did not think there could be a difference.
    Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
    How to proceed??? 
    I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI.  Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
    Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
    As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870.  That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

    With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
    Thank you.

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

    I've seen a lot of threads about getting rid of these kind of messages. Those messages are there for a reason most of the time. If you have CSS animations or other HTML5 standards that cannot be rendered in IE9 they won't magically start working becuse you got rid of a message. I use IE9 since that is the minimum standard for the client. I have never seen that message publishing to HTML5 content.
    IMO, if your client has IE9 I think that you should develop with IE9 in mind not IE11.
    When you say "develop with IE9 in mind not IE11" do you mean use SWF instead of HTML5? I used the standard question types, and a converted PowerPoint presentation. I didn't add anything out of the ordinary.

    1) Build a dashboard prompt for Customer Number. and save to a PV.
    2) Build a report with all the columns for customer and order (in Criteria View) with a filter for the PV to capture the dashboard prompt.
    3) Build a pivot table with Customer Number and Customer Name in the Rows section. Put the Customer Address in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to Max.
    This will serve as the summary table showing only the information of the customer selected.
    2) Build Pivot Table:2 with the Order details.
    3) In the Compound Layout, put Pivot table one on the top and Pivot Table:2 below it.
    When a customer is selected, you will have the customer data with the order details under it for that customer only.

  • Please help with A record and MX record!

    Guys please help - our IT guy disappeared and we changed the hosting over the weekend. He did setup exchange server for all the emails so now i am trying to recreate all the settings in bluehost for email and the bluehost is asking whats A record for our
    Exchange server. Forgive me but i am not an IT guy... where do i find the A record for our exchange server? I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could point me into that direction.

    If the DNS A record for mail.mydomainname.com is currently pointing to your Exchange server's external IP address then I would imagine that's setup correctly.
    Name servers are those used to find out where to get the DNS records for a domain, eg it tells people doing a DNS lookup the address of your DNS server(s) so they can query them to find the required records. As such I'm unsure whether you actually mean name
    servers or not.
    Anything that ends in a .local address is definitely a local record, eg it is only used internally on your local network. On the internet there's no such thing as .local, so server1.mywebsite.local definitely wouldn't be the address you'd put into your public
    DNS records. Do you mean that in Outlook when you look at the server address that you connect to collect email that it is displaying server1.mywebsite.local? If so then that's completely separate to where mail is delivered.
    With the CNAME and MX records I'd suspect that they'd remain the same if they currently point to the mail.mydomain.com address, if they point elsewhere then you might well need to update them.
    What confuses me is what is it that's been changed with your hosting? You say you've changed, and presumably bluehost are the new hosting company, but not what has changed to them. Do you mean the domain has transferred to them, or just the website, or your
    internet access or something else?. You say that via the bluehost dns editor mail already points to mail.mydomainname.com, so it sounds to me as if the relevant records have already been setup and are working. Is email failing to be sent / received currently?

  • Help with Quiz pages and buttons (please)

    We use Captivate 6 with a subscription. I have put together a couple of modules with question pools, and some with just a few questions pages inserted. The last time I created a new captivate project, I put inserted quiz pages and the buttons were different then they had been before. The first few times they were grey, now they are green and a bit smaller. Looking at the proporties for each page and button, I cannot see anything that is different othe than one is a text button and the other is a transparent button. Both buttons are marked as default quiz button style. I don't use any themes. To make this short, I would like to know if there is a way to make the buttons the same every time I add a page, or a pool? I am not yet up to designing my own buttons, but probably will here shortly. Right now I need to get some training modules completed as quickly as possible so I don't have the time to reinvent the wheel (so to speak). The only other thing that I noticed was different in the projects was that in the skin editor one uses one called [default](modifired) and the other one uses one that I created. HOWEVER, I have another one that uses my custome skin and the buttons are grey on that one which is the same as the default one. I don't think the skin has anything to do with the button look. Correct me gently if I am wrong on this.
    Thanks for the help.

    Just one remark: in CP6 you always use a theme. And quiz slides have their own master slides, that will always be used. The buttons take on the style you see on those master slides, and this style can also be found in the object style manager. Skin and object styles are part of the theme. Probably you have overridden some of the styles defined?
