DMVPN Dual ISPs with EIGRP

Hi expert,
I am facing a eigrp routing issues , Has anyone kindly assist...
The topology as below, each router only has two tunnels and run in same eigrp AS
Here is my question in red with underline :
R2: sh ip ro
D 192.168.30.0/24 [90/310172416] via 192.168.1.1, 01:08:05, Tunnel1
[90/310172416] via 192.168.0.3, 01:08:05, Tunnel0
R3: sh ip ro
D 192.168.20.0/24 [90/310172416] via 192.168.1.1, 01:12:25, Tunnel1
[90/310172416] via 192.168.0.2, 01:12:25, Tunnel0
The result see above is not my expect , as i understand :
at R2 192.168.30.0 learn from Tunnel1 should be via192.168.1.3 not red one
at R3 192.168.20.0 learn from Tunnel1 should be via 192.168.1.2 not red one
because of via 192.168.1.1 , that's mean the traffic must through R1 (spoke to HUB) not Spoke to Spoke , am i right ?
I hope the route between R2 and R3 can always use spoke to spoke tunnel
I also checked nhrp and ipsec status , anything looks work properly except the eigrp route i mention above.
Here is configuration:

Hi AllertGen ,
Each each router's tunnel0 and tunnel1 are work well , they all can ping each other ip as well via tunnel 0 and tunnel 1 (192.168.0.0/24 & 192.168.1.0/24)
and also at each router has two physical interface connect to different ISP.
In this topology ,my purpose is when spoke to spoke , they will has two routes via two NHRP cloulds , i keep the same eigrp priority at each router just for equal cost load sharing ,the more important thing is the next hop IP.
Actually , The ipsec function is not my concern so far, i just try your suggestion add the "shared" at the end of the line , its still has same result , but as i understand , if there is any wrong with ipsec profile, the tunnel won't work well , am i right ?
Thanks for your kind assist
Here is some show result at each router , hope that's helpful.

VPN device with dual ISP, fail-over, and load balancing

We currently service a client that has a PIX firewall that connects to multiple, separate outside vendors via IPSEC VPN. The VPN connections are mission critical and if for any reason the VPN device or the internet connection (currently only a T1) goes down, the business goes down too. We're looking for a solution that allows dual-ISP, failover, and load balancing. I see that there are several ASA models as well as the IOS that support this but what I'm confused about is what are the requirements for the other end of the VPN, keeping in mind that the other end will always be an outside vendor and out of our control. Current VPN endpoints for outside vendors are to devices like VPN 3000 Concentrator, Sonicwall, etc. that likely do not support any type of fail-over, trunking, load-balancing. Is this just not possible?

Unless I am mistaken the ASA doesn't do VPN Load Balancing for point-to-point IPSec connections either. What you're really after is opportunistic connection failover, and/or something like DMVPN. Coordinating opportunistic failover shouldn't be too much of an issue with the partners, but be prepared for lot of questions.

Performance Routing (PfR) with single router, dual ISP and load balancing

It looks like PfR can do this but I have only found information about this feature which will start using ISP2 once ISP1 reaches 75% usage. But this is not load balancing.
Can we accomplish load balancing utilizing a single router with dual ISPs using this PfR feature?
Or do we have to use another feature?
thank you in advance

I'm rusty using OER/PfR, but I recall it could load balance two links on same router. The issue, I also recall, if doing BGP, OER/PfR has to detect a load imbalance, and there's a certain difference allowance, and OER/PfR takes some time to decide, so depending on actual traffic, it might not be obvious it's working. If doing BGP, there's a hidden command (which I don't recall is) that will load balance the two links on the same router; then you use OER/PfR to dynamically refine the balance load.

Cisco DMVPN Spoke ISP Redundancy

Hi Dears,
I want to configure DMVPN on cisco routers. I want to configure dual ISP at spoke's. ADSL link is primary and 3g is backup and configure dmvpn.
How i configure in HUB and Spoke sites? I want to use Eigrp protocol.

Hi Teymur,
You can configure a single tunnel interface on the spoke, primary hub and the secondary hub for dual hub and dual isp on spoke.
Use EEM script for failover between your ISP connections and can configure both hubs on the same tunnel interface.
Introduce delay on the secondary hub tunnel interface so that it is less preferred.

Arch does not show up in Grub when dual booting with windows 8

I just installed Arch linux, dual booting with windows 8 using the beginners guide[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide] itself. Now Grub is installed and i can only find Windows 8 and I cannot find Arch. Is there a way I can find if arch linux has been installed and show up in Grub.
Sorry, I am a newbie, but i chose to post this topic here and not newbie corner as it is installation related.
My windows 8 is installed on /dev/sda1 with ntfs partition type. Arch Linux is installed on /dev/sda6 and it is ext4 partition. I dont know if this info helps. I am using Thinkpad R61

I am sorry, yes you are too late. I have wiped windows 8 and performed clean install. No regrets. And as a matter of fact, I did grub-config and then installed os-prober. That could be the problem. Thanks. I will try this again another time.

[SOLVED] RTC and dual booting with Windows 8/8.1

I am planning ahead of installing Arch on a windows 8.1 laptop, and need to understand whether or not the known Windows registry hack to get windows to use UTC for the RTC is still valid for Windows 8/8.1? I have been searching via google and the usual sources of information, but it is not clear to me if there are problems doing this, specifically if arch is dual booted with Windows 8/8.1 rather than older versions of the MS OS. Certainly I have used the technique without any problem in the past when dual booting Windows XP with Arch on several different machines.
Does anyone have personal experience with doing this on a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine and can report here on whether it works successfully or not?
Thanks for any advice.

Since there were no replies at this point I thought I would just go ahead and implement the registry hack on the Windows 8.1 O/S in the laptop and see if Windows behaves. It appears to be OK, with the displayed time being correct after reboot, and time synchronisation remaining fine with no problems seen in the displayed time, although I won't be able to read the RTC directly until I have completed the Arch install in the coming week or two. I now don't foresee any issues with the time synchronisation between booting Arch and Windows 8.1 so I will mark this as solved.
Since the RTC is now in UTC then normal clock config in Arch using chrony should perform normally once the install is done and the new system set up.

Dual boot with Ubuntu 13.0 using bootable USB problem (Y410P)

Hi I recently bought Lenovo Y410P and have been since trying for hours to dual boot with Ubuntu but I was unsuccessful.
I formatted by USB drive in FAT format, and created a bootable usb using Pendrive. Then I changed the Boot Mode to Legacy Support and the boot order so it boots from the flash storage first.
Then it hung on a purple screen like this: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png
and the keyboard doesn't work and I couldn't go any further from here.
So I tried to use a different program called Unetbootin, and the problem got worse and it just stopped working at the option screen where you select whether to just try Ubuntu or install it, etc.
I read it somewhere the recent version of Unetbootin doesn't work, so I got the 474 version of it, and finally I was able to select from the option menu and it didn't hang. However when I clicked on Install Ubuntu, it just stopped there for a while, and then the boot failed and moved onto Windows 8 again.
I looked at the USB drive, and I realized the folder and some config files are names isolinux instead of syslinux, so I changed them, and now I'm getting the "SYSLINUX 3.86 2010..." words on the black screen and it hangs there.
I saw a similar message before using Pendrive and it was like "SYSLINUX 4.10 2012...". That was because the flash drive wasn't formatted in FAT (it was FAT32). So I re-checked the drive, but it is indeed formatted in FAT so I'm not sure why now I'm getting a similar message.
It will be much appreciated if you could give me some suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
Thanks

Something else you could try. Not sure it will make any difference.
Skip the boot creation tools and just boot the thing in UEFI mode.
Use the latest (12.10 or later will work, IIRC) 64-bit Ubuntu ISO. Format your flash drive as a single FAT32 partition. Extract the contents of the ISO to the flash drive. Use 7zip for Windows, or your favorite Linux de-archiving tool. That's it.
[edit] I don't believe the partition needs to be set active, but haven't tested that.
Set BIOS boot mode to UEFI. Even secure boot mode should work withe a new enough Ubuntu - but isn't necessary.
Give that a try. If it still barfs at the same place, mess around with the start-up graphics options.

Help - How to install Win XP in dual boot with Win 7 (first installed)?

Hi everybody!
I'm having some difficult in install a win xp in dual boot with win 7 (which came with the G550 notebook).
I modified the D: (Lenovo) partition to a primary partition to install the XP. Also I installed the EasyBCD to manange the boots and both S.O. load fine.
The problem is that Win XP is seeing a partition (the first partition on disk) with 200MB that is hidden for Win 7 ! So this partition takes the C: letter in XP and mess all the configuration once that many programs uses the C: as a default letter.
The disk is divided in (aprox):
200 MB hidden partition (from factory)
160GB with Win 7 installed
40GB with Win XP installed
19GB hidden partition (Recovery - from factory)
Is anyone has some idea who to solve this problem or make install XP from the beginning without problems?
Thank a lot!

You are welcome!
If is best to buy from a reputable supplier that actually test RAM in Mac's and guarantee there upgrade kits.
The two most recommended here are OWC and Crucial

IPhoto 6 - STILL freezing on a Dual G5 with 370 images

What is it with iPhoto?! I've paid for another upgrade after promises of finally sorting out the sluggishness. Yet, with a library of only 370 images, each not bigger than 2MB, I can STILL only scroll through half of the thumbnails before the beachball comes in. I wait. I wait some more. Then I force quit.
Could there be a problem with my images which is causing this? Most of the images were imported from elsewhere on my machine, rather than a camera (can't imagine how this would have any impact on performance).
How is iPhoto supposed to cope with 250,000 images?! I have a Dual 2G with 2.5GB of RAM.

Do you have DiskWarrior? If so I'd boot into it's CD and rebuild the directory files. Then boot into the Single User Mode and run the file system check - fsck as follows:
FSCK - File System Check
To start up in single-user mode
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold both the Command (Apple) and "s" keys on your keyboard. The computer will display a series of text messages, at which time you may release these keys.
When the computer has started up, it will display a command line prompt (#). The computer is now in single-user mode.
How to Run the File System Check from the Command Line
Once you have reached a command line, follow these steps to use fsck:
1. At the prompt, type: fsck -fy (NOTE, there is a space between the k and the “-”)
The fsck utility will go through five "phases" and then return information about the disk's utilization and fragmentation. Once the check is finished, if no issue is found, you should see "** The volume <name of volume> appears to be OK."
If fsck alters, repairs, or fixes anything, it will display the message:
**** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
IMPORTANT: If this message appears, repeat the "fsck -fy" command until this message no longer appears. It is not unusual for your computer to require several "passes" of fsck, because first-pass repairs may uncover additional errors. Run it until you get two consecutive times with an "OK" result.
3. When fsck reports that no problems were found, type: reboot
4. Press Return.
Also run OnyX to clear all of the user caches and run the Maintenance scripts.
See if that will help.
Since you're using iPhoto for clients may I suggest the following:
Create a new library for each client. That should keep it fairly small and allow you to burn the iPhoto Library folder via the Finder to a single disk, CD or DVD. Then is a client comes back at a later date and wants another book, all you got to do is copy that folder from the disk to your HD, open it with iPhoto and order another book. OR, just create a separate library for each book and save those libraries to CDs, again via the Finder.
Also, before completing the order for a book find and copy the pdf file that iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. You can use this for proofing before completing the order and as a record of the book for future reference. (There's a way you might be able to use that file to order a duplicate book at a later date even with totally different library but that's another thread).
Hope this has been of some help.

I just bought Mac Book pro; trying to hook up dual monitor with Samsung syncmaster 2033 but no signal; I am using dvi to hdmi converter. Please assist.

I just purchased a Macbook Pro but unable to set up dual display with samsung syncmaster 2033 via DVI to HDMI port.
Thank you in advance for help.

There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!

Alittle help with dual-setup with ati radeon 5770

Hello everyone, I have been trying to setup a dual display with 2 flat panel monitors.
1. A WestingHouse Digital Electronics "17"
2. A Goldstar Company Ltd "23" (Main Display)
Im currently running the gnome desktop, what im trying to setup, is have both the gnome desktop show up on both monitors. For example if I wanted to move something from my main monitor to the smaller one to the left of me, I want to NOT be able to do that, and only have the mouse be able to move accross the 2. 2 Seperate desktops one 2 seperate screens. Im not quite sure what its called, Im thinking maybe its a clone Desktop? Anways, The graphics card Im using is an
Ati Radeon 5770, has 2 vga ports. I currently have the "video-ati" driver installed and works well with my main screen, but im unable to get my secondary screen (to the left of me) working. I tried going into System>>Preferences>>Monitors, and tried tinkering with the display, and tried enabling the 2 monitors and moving them from left to right, to see if that would possibly let it show up or start to function, but only the main screen works. I generated a new xorg.conf, since I didnt have one prior to installing Arch, I was following these to guides
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors/ATI
both are very nice, but Im still not quite understanding yet. Defiantly am trying. I edited my xorg.conf a few times, but got the same results each time, just the screen going blank and X crashing. I have here a copy of my xorg.conf, Xorg.conf.log, and xrandr output

Thank you guys!

An xorg.conf may not be necessary, but I still find it nice to have the control that the file provides.
In looking over yours, I see several things that could be causing your problems.
First off, I notice that you have Screen0 that is using Card0 and Monitor0. This part looks ok.
When I look at Screen1, I notice that you are using ATI Graphics Adapter1 and Monitor1. I don't see entries for either of those, although you have an ATI Graphics Atapter2, but there is no entry for your second monitor.
I also notice that you are trying to use both radeon and fglrx as drivers. As far as I know (and I don't have an ATI video card at the moment), you can use one driver or the other, but not both.
After you have these things fixed, then you can put in the Screen section in your server layout to describe the positioning of your second monitor.
All in all, the issues that you have to fix are minor, but frusterating if you are too close to the situation.
Good luck.

Dual monitors with macbook closed

i am running dual monitors with Macbook Pro and would like for my Macbook to be closed. How do I change that setting?

How do I change that to two separate extended screens.
I don't believe you can. Check with Matrox, but my understanding is that the external monitors running through the Matrox box will always function as a single extended desktop in two parts.
If you do check with Matrox about this, please post back with your findings — I'll be interested to know, whether I'm right or not.

Dual Monitor with PXI-8108

I am trying to use dual monitors with a PXI-8108 and the NI DVI splitter as described here
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0E993D33675CD46A862572D50072C6A3
There must be some software update I need because I don't not have an option for the second monitor? Does anyone
know what I may need to update, possibly the graphics driver, and where to find it?
I have (2) mobile intel 4 series express chipset family listed under my device manager
driver version 6.14.10.5009

Are you trying to use three monitors with the setup in question there? Adding another set of splitters could impact the signal quality depending on your monitors and needs.
I'm not aware of a specific test with that setup, but given the correct adapter types and correct signal sources on each adapter, I would imagine you may be able to get it to work.
Again, as with the above posts, reference the linked Discussion Forum thread in the first post here, as you are going to be looking at similar questions in that case.
