How to see mac address in IPS 4240 ???

Hi all,
How to see mac-address of inline-vlan-pair ? and how to see mac-address of management interface in IPS ?
Regards,
Kiran

Hello Kiran,
The inline-vlan-pair itself is tied to a particular interface. So you're really asking for the MAC address of the interface associated with the inline-vlan-pair.
The MAC address of sensing ports will be added to a "show interfaces" via CSCse84414. You can currently view the MAC address of sensing interfaces by doing an "ifconfig -a" from the service account.
Thank you,

Beyond Password and Internet infiltrations: how to create "mac-fort-knox"

Where do I begin?
1) I want to create an impenitrable laptop for use, an 'internet-bricked' laptop for typing and "PDA" work only. Any suggestions via Terminal (and skip the "common-sense"stuff)?
Please don't ask why...
2) I assume the laptop must be 'clean' before "locking down the fort". Any suggestions assuming that the laptop has been infiltrated beyond normal measures --compromised firmware, root, extensions, kernels, etcetera?
3) For entertainment's sake, how would you use your computer if all your passwords were broadcast into the internet as a matter of rote (hypothetically speaking, of course)? Besides entrusting someone else to enter the passwords, what else? ;-)
4) Without use of Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and with one visit to an "authorized apple-service provider", how could a laptop act as though Remote-Login is being used, or a mirrored-copy of my computer? (No amount of "wiping" the laptop, firmware and all, has proved otherwise. My iphone has the same issue.)
Any and all help will be appreciated on this matter. I've been learning some things, while not learning the right thing yet. Thank you ahead of time, sincerely.

Let me begin by saying that an up-to-date Mac OS X system is, right out of the box, darned secure. There is, at this time, no known malware capable of infecting such a system, unless the user does something dumb to help malware past the defenses. All Mac malware is either already detected by anti-virus software built into Mac OS X or relies on vulnerabilities that have been closed.
For more information about this sort of stuff, see my Mac Malware Guide. There's also a look at the weaknesses in the anti-malware security features of Mac OS X in How does your Mac NOT protect you?.
Now, to address your questions...
1) I know you said to "skip the common-sense stuff," but it's really just as easy as turning off wifi and Bluetooth and unplugging any Ethernet cable. Mucking around in the Terminal to "permanently" disable networking is not wise without a thorough understanding of how the system works, and I mean on a very deep level. Changing things in the Terminal in an attempt to neuter networking could cause unexpected behaviors and open security holes that would not normally be open.
2) There's never been any malware that modified the Mac's firmware. That's not a concern. If we assume that you have had someone untrusted get physical access to your machine, or that you are the target of a government or large organization with great resources to come up with brand new, customized malware, then the only way to be sure your machine is clean is to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system. See How to reinstall Mac OS X from scratch. Of course, that requires trusting the system you will download from Apple's servers... but, honestly, you've got to trust someone, otherwise you shouldn't be using a computer at all.
3) I don't understand this question. If you mean, what would I do if I thought I had a keylogger... I'd erase the hard drive and reinstall from scratch, as mentioned above.
4) Now I get the sense that you're having a problem that you have not described, and that all this stuff is in response to that problem. You would do better to describe the symptoms of that problem, rather than approach it as if it were caused by malware.
There are many ways that a computer can appear to be remotely controlled when that's not actually happening. I see it all the time. See:
My mouse keeps moving around on its own, as if someone is remotely controlling my Mac!

Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,
Jeremy

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"?

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"? I have back up in the past but the last month I have not. I really want to keep the data.
So how can I go in and change the setting, It stays ofcourse at the apple screen with wheel. All info is there and the computer works fine, just cannot use it or have been able to log in.

wjosten is spot on. If you really want iCloud, then you will need to acquire a new or second hand MBP that can run Lion.

I have a 2.33 Ghz 2 Duo. Is it still possible to upgrade to Lion if so , How ? (my Mac will not accomodate Mountain Lion.

I have a colleague with a 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo on which he has Snow Leopard. He needs to move to Lion 10.7 but can't find how, and his Mac (which is the same as mine) is not able to download Mountain Lion.
     I see that when I downloaded Lion, I should have made a Disc as back up. However, I did not do this, does anyone know how to move to Lion ?
     Appreciate advice and instructions.

I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

How to secure one page not entire application?

Hi there,
I'm looking for some guidance on how to secure individual pages on my site. I've read a number of articles discussing creating a login using the Application.cfc. The thing is this approach locks down the entire site. I only want to secure a page. In my scenario, if the user hasn't logged in, and goes to a profile.cfm page, they will be asked to login. Once they login, they will then be directed to the profile.cfm page.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Novian

Hi, Novian,
An option that come directly to mind is to check for the specific page to be locked down in onRequestStart of your Application.cfc.
This approach is relatively easy to implement but may not be the best approach (don't know how it might affect performance or something else). Basically, use a conditional in your onRequestStart method to see if the page being requested by the user is the page that needs to be secured. Something along the lines of:
<cffunction name="onRequestStart">
     <cfargument name="target_page" />
     <cfif target_page is 'super-secure-page.cfm'>
          
     </cfif>
</cffunction>
There are, of course, other options but this was a quick and easy one that came right to mind.

How to do MAC cloning in AirPort Extreme GBit?

My provider (Verizon Fios) checks MAC address of wireless router and they refused my request to use my own router. In the past, I got around this problem by cloning the MAC address of the router they provided. I just got an AirPort Extreme Base Station with GBit but I couldn't figure out how to do MAC cloning using AirPort Utility. Does anyone know how to do that? Please point me to the right direction.
Thanks.

This is stupid! Every other router and ones over 5 years old are capable of doing this. I tried editing the MAC address in the saved file of the base config file, but again, this doesn't work.
Why doesn't Apple support this? It's a requirement for most home networks operating with Cable modems.
If there is no way around this, I'm going to be returning this thing, and will not recommend anyone ever getting one.
