How to tell if GRE traffic is encrypted or not?

Hi Everyone
Site A
Device A has VPN Tunnel to
Site B Device B over Wan link.
Note Here Device A and B are end device and connect to ISP and do the encryption
Site A Device X which is internal device has simple GRE tunnel to Site Bs internal device.
My question is how can i find that this GRE tunnel gets encrypted at Device A or not?
Currently encryption is only at Device A and B
Thanks
Mahesh

Have you utilized some of the "show" and "debug" commands to verify that the IPSec security associations have been created and are in-place? Some of the "debug" commands can show traffic hitting the crypto map.

What model routers are Device A and B? You may be able to use something like RITE to mirror the traffic exiting the interface to a sniffer for a definitive "Doubting Thomas" proof.

New to Macs..how to tell if you have a virus or not?

I'm used to PCs which are virus ridden and sometimes you don't even know you have a virus on a PC. I was wondring if Macs have the same problem and if there is a way to tell if you have a virus or not. Anyone know?

Jack Q,
Like almost every operating system, OS X is vulnerable to viruses:
It's just not as vulnerable or attacked nearly as often as, ahem, Brand X.
What could you do if you suspect attack?
You could report your symptoms in this forum after the fact.
You could download a good antivirus scanner and check your machine for viruses.
Or...
You could take the preventive measures of:
1. creating a separate administrator account and making the account you use a normal user account,
2. locking down your OS X firewall,
3. using a properly configured NAT router between your computer and the Internet,
4. oh, and downloading and installing a good antivirus scanner (like this one),
since Apple recommends using antivirus software, and turning on Folder Sentry.

can I tell if it locked , thank you

Hi mate,
Sorry what carrier are you with? You will have to ask them if you are locked to them or not. If you are saying that they have a whole bunch of their apps installed on the phone, my guess is that is locked to them. As I've said though, would pay to check with them, and also when you ask to get it unlocked, try another carrier's SIM card with them and ask about things like if the tethering has been unlocked etc, as carriers can sometimes lock this too, unbeknown to the user.

How can I route internet traffic over IPSec point to point?

I have a remote site that connects by IPSEC with the end points on a router and ASA. The connection is working fine and the remote site can access my other networks at the main headquarters. The problem is, currently this remote site is accessing the internet via the same link that is supposed to VPN everything back to headquarters. I need to figure out how to VPN their internet traffic to my main headquarters. There's an IPrism behind the firewall to filter web access so it seems like I need to point the remote sites default gateway to my routing device that's behind my Iprism?
Also, currently the outside interface on the remote site's router does not have an ACL applied, can someone suggest what that ACl should look like? Thank you for your help! Here is a sample configuration of the remote site's router:
crypto isakmp policy 20
(encryption parameters here)
crypto isakmp key password address x.x.x.x (Public ASA IP) no-xauth
crypto ipsec transform-set remotesite (encryption parameters here)
crypto ipsec df-bit clear
crypto map Mainsite 1 ipsec-isakmp
set peer x.x.x.x (Public ASA IP)
set transform-set remotesite
match address 100

ip nbar protocol-discovery
interface FastEthernet0/1
description ISP Interface

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x (ISP's default gateway)
access-list 100 remark Access list Mainsite Access
access-list 100 permit ip 10.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 10.3.0.0 0.0.255.255
and other various headquarter networks...

Hi Mark, you can modify your crypto acl to permit any any on your remote site which will make all traffic goes through the tunnel. Then on ASA you need to do hairpinning on the outside interface. This will make users on remote site to access internet via HQ. But if you do it this way the internet traffic goes straight to internet without having them filtered by your iPrism.
What I am not sure about is if there is a way to do it if you want those traffics to be filtered by the iPrism before going out to internet.

Passing GRE traffic across ASA

Hi,
I have an enviroment where I do need to pass the GRE traffic between two routers, the ASA-5510 is in between them.
Your help is appreciated. Sending a URL for similar setup, is great.
Sami

Hi,
Have you tried adding a static NAT for the router's external interface which is located behind the inside interface of the ASA ?
Example .. let's say the router which is behind the inside (higher priority) interface of the ASA is 10.10.10.10 then you could add a static as below
static (inside,outside) 10.10.10.10 10.10.10.10 mask 255.255.255.255
Note: the above assumes that the second router is behind the outside interface (lower priority) of the ASA and that the second router knows how to reach 10.10.10.10. Obviously 10.10.10.10 should also know how to get to the second router.
next you will need to allow GRE on both interfaces.
access-list inside-out permit GRE host 10.10.10.10 host
access-list outside-in permit GRE host host 10.10.10.10
access-group inside-out in interface inside
access-group outside-in in interface outside
Give it a try ..
I hope it helps .. please rate it if it does !!!

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Hi,
We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
BUT
when using separate frame = false
If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
Thank you
David

Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
Sorry if this is a long reply
I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
Something like:
Basejini.htm like
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function maximizeWindow()
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
function confirm(){
If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
Win.opener = self;
win.close();
Else if
event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
</SCRIPT>
<BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
%HTMLbeforeForm%
I hope this explains my requirements.

I'm sorry this is not helpful at all.
Note 199928.1 is only an alert which does not stop the closing of the window and still displays as an alert if the user does close properly using exit form ... so why would you want to display the alert then?
This is exaclty what I do not want and why I want to determine if the applet is still running before displaying any kind of message.

Closing thread.
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
function confirmExit(){
if(appletRunning==true) {
msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
window.event.returnValue=msg;
And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

How to tell N6.5 DHCP to use a W2k8 for PXE?

Hello,
could anyone give me a hint, how to tell my netware DHCP to use a Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis with PXE Server?
Actual Situation:
Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
Netware DHCP Server
ZEN7 SP1 Imaging
--> works fine so far, and no problem in other subnets, IP-helper are configured in the switches
New Situation:
Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
Netware DHCP Server
Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis Snap Deploy with PXE-Server - in future may be a clean Windows Deployment service without Acronis
--> that would be nice :)
I found serveral ini-files (dts.ini, pdhcp.ini, tftp.ini) where I configured the new IP-Address of the W2k8 PXE Server.
Now:
The Client gets its correct IP-Address from Netware DHCP
but after that the following messages:
Auto-select:
ZENworks Boot
Boot Server IP: --.--.--.-- (the correct one configured in the ini-files!)
TFTP.
PXE-T02:
PXE-E3C: TFTP Error - Access Violation
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

This option should only be set if both DHCP and PXE services are on the same server (as is probably the case in your situation as I'm guessing both DHCP as also PXE get loaded in the same cluster resource script).
For subnets serviced outside of the subnet your DHCP server is running in, you will need to configure multiple ip helpers: one that points to the DHCP server and one points to the PXE server so those requests on other subnets get serviced correctly.
To get things running it's probably easier to try to get this to work on the subnet your DHCP and PXE server are running in (so you are not also having to deal with the ip helper setup just yet). If that works, then expand you configuration to different subnets & ip helpers.
Hope that helps,
Willem
As a ps and for clarification, don't load the PDHCP on any of the NetWare servers... just have the PXE PDHCP service running on the Windows server.
The PDHCP/PXE service for ZenWorks won't understand/work with the Arconis one and visa versa.

How to tell if Im on AT&T?

Hey guys. I guess I live right on the edge of an area covered/not covered by at&t. I have noticed that my reception bars have changed from black and white to colored and I have even seen a E next to it. So my question is how do I make sense of the different colors or letters so I know if Im on AT&T or some other network?

how to tell if Im actually using at&T's own cell towers or a competitors.
You will never be using a competitor's towers. A competitor would be T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc. and you'll never connect to their networks. You may in some cases be using an AT&T partner. In this thread, one poster advised:
"To get an indicator when you are roaming on an AT&T partner network, call 611 and ask them to activate the (free) "Off Network Alpha Tag" on your account. If they ask why, tell them you want to be a good guy and observe the (usually unenforced) data limits while roaming."
Hope that helps.

How to tell if REQ1 is set active high

Hi I am using the 6533 PCI-DIO-32HS card in a PC with traditional DAQ, looking at an existing design. I could not find how to tell if REQ1 is set active high or low, guessing it would be set up in the DIO confg vi.

thanks for the additional information, yes will have to wait for the external hardware. I did have a general question about the 6533 data and control line outputs using traditional DAC. I think for this design it is set up as a pattern IO transfer using internal REQ and an internal clock set up as a VI input, (DIO START). Anyhow I am monitoring the card outputs with a logic analyzer and it looks like an 8 element array (of 8 bit integers) is being used for the data input (to the DIO WRITE VI) with the first 4 elements being written out on DIOA0-A7, DIOB0-B7, DIOC0-C7, and DIOD0-D7 followed by the last 4 elements also written out to DIOA0-A7, DIOB0-B7, DIOC0-C7, and DIOD0-D7. Anyhow it looks like the clock input to the (DIO Start VI) controls the pulse width of the data. It looks like REQ1 goes high approximately 78 microseconds before the first 32 bits are written out followed by 5 microseconds of data (with the clock set at 200k), finally followed by the second data group (5 microseconds of data). It then looks like REQ1 stays high for 2-4 ms after the second group of 32 bits is written out before going low. Anyhow if you are trying to clock this data into a storage device I would expect to see rising clock edges when both the first and second group of data appear on DIOA0-A7..DIOD0-D7. I monitored all the other control lines pclk1,2 ack1 and did not see signal levels other than 0, again I do not have the DIO card connected to anything except a logic analyzer. Would you know if it is typical to use REQ1 as a clock input to a storage device or if this can be done?

[Forum FAQ] How to tell if the DAC port is automatically changed or not

Introduction
Per Books Online:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189595.aspx
SQL Server listens for the DAC on TCP port 1434 if available or a TCP port dynamically assigned upon Database Engine startup.
Also, we can go to the following registry to specify the DAC port number manually:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
The error log contains the port number the DAC is listening on. Besides looking at the error log, how to find which port is used by DAC connection and how to tell if the DAC port is manually set by us or assigned automatically by SQL Server?
Solution
The following query can be used to check if there is an existing DAC connection and it also give us the port number used by dedicated admin connection.
SELECT name,local_tcp_port FROM sys.dm_exec_connections ec
join sys.endpoints e
on (ec.endpoint_id=e.endpoint_id)
WHERE e.name='Dedicated Admin Connection'
Here is the scenario to test if the DAC port is automatically changed or not.
There are two instances are running on one server. I specified the same DAC port number 5555 for the two SQL Server instances by modifying the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
Opened the DAC connection to instance 1. Executed the above query, it returns the result:
name
local_tcp_port
Dedicated Admin Connection 5555
Then, opened a DAC connection to instance 2. It throw out the following error message:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection because an error was encountered during handshakes before login.
Common causes include client attempting to connect to an unsupported version of SQL Server, server too busy to accept new connections or a resource limitation (memory or maximum allowed connections) on the server..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : TCP Provider: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection due to prelogin failure.
The above error message was thrown out because the DAC port number 5555 was not available for instance 2 which was occupying by instance 1. After restarting the SQL Server engine service of instance 2, if checking in the registry, you would see a new DAC port
number has been assigned to the second instance.
Then, the DAC connection to instance 2 succeed this time and executed the above query, it returned the same port number which is same as the one in the registry key and the port number was assigned automatically.
DAC port will not change even SQL Server service is restarted only if the TCP port is available.

The whole story: The hard drive on my quite new Mac Book Pro, bought in December of 2011, crashed and burned in the Fall of 2012. I purchased a new hard drive and was informed that the only way I could have saved my "stuff" was to back it up with an external hard drive. Who knew?? I bought a G Drive Slim at the Apple store, and on their advice. BUT I really don't understand how to use it, and the instructions are completely inadequate. How can you tell when it is finished? I have educated myself on the proper way to eject the Drive, but I don't know how to tell if it is done. Or, frankly, if it is even doing anything. The white light burns steadily, no blinking, no flickering. Nothing. Thanks for help.

are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX" meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
To see your HD on your desktop GOTO FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there, and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.
