ICM Router & Logger Private Network connectivity

Hi,
     Can any one give me clarification on the following
 Is there any private network connectivity betwen ICM router and Logger ?

No, call routers (central controller) communicates between side A and B over private network for synchronization, so do PG pairs. Loggers receive data from local call router over public traffic.

    What is the correlation of Logger Private network to Router Private Network.
    You have to define them in Websetup for the Router and Logger but what is communicating on the Private network path between the Logger and Router?    I thought that was over the Public network.  is it only Recovery from the Loggers talking over the Private network?

  • Public/private network connections

    I am trying to setup the network connections so that I have 2 public hooked into the company lan and 1 private which lashes directly into an iScsi target. The documentation is totally confusing and unclear as to how I can set this up in this fashion. I have looked at this site and the xen.org site with its howtos and other locations I am at a loss of how to accomplish this.

    Hi
    Our setup involves two nics on LAN (172.16.1.67 and 172.16.1.68) as well as a iscsi nic on 172.16.2.67 for SAN storage to Dell MD3000i.
    Works fine. iscsi connectivity done with iscsi inititator rpms shipped with Oracle VM disk and we then use a series of out of the box bridges and some post customisation and routing tables to deal with the LAN. The Xen virtual bridges will be created for you by default - the only need for us to create further virtual bridges and routing rules is we use the VM for maskinging client netwoks of 10.10.x.x for example and ensure we can connect from the 172 network.

  • How to setup a Linksys router as WiFi network -- connecting to Actiontec

    With horrible range using the Fios Actiontec router, I went ahead with google searched suggestion to use a second router as my WiFi network. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to properly set up the second router to the Actiontec even with step-by-step instructions. 
    Can anyone give me step by step instructions to get the second router up and running? Please help!
    I wish to set up my second router as a new static connection so my WiFi devices may connect to that network instead of the Actiontec's. I do have Fios TV, so I need a solution that will not interrupt the other services.
    I used this set of instructions: 
    http://smallbusiness.chron.com/set-up-second-router-verizon-fios-60493.html
    I put the starting IP as 192.68.1.3
    I got up to the input New Static Connection and input 192.68.1.2 and the MAC address of the new router.
    When I press Apply, I get the message,"The IP address 192.68.1.2 is illegal for any of the connections subnets." The first time it failed, it stated that the address was used, but now I get this message every time.
    I also attempted this set of instructions:
    http://www.ehow.com/how_6127815_set-second-router-verizon-fios.html
    But I only got up to #6 where I connect to the new router and enter admin. I was unable to access the new router. My browser states that there is no internet connection.
    Note: Verizon support has been no help so far. I am at wit's end.

    These are the instructions I would use
    Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router?

  • IP routing utilizing Verizon private network (GRE tunnel) with remote cellular gateways

    Okay, I give up, and think I have done my due diligence (I have been engrossed and fascinated spending many more hours than allotted to try and learn some of the finer details).  Time for some advice.  My usual trade is controls engineering which generally require only basic knowledge of networking principals.  However I recently took a job to integrate 100 or so lift stations scattered around a county into a central SCADA system.  I decided to use cellular technology to connect these remote sites back to the main SCADA system.  Well the infrastructure is now in and it’s time to get these things talking.  Basic topology description is as follows:  Each remote site has an Airlink LS300 gateway.  Attached to the gateway via Ethernet is a system controller that I will be polling via Modbus TCP from the main SCADA system.  The Airlinks are provisioned by Verizon utilizing a private network with static IP's.  This private networks address is 192.168.1.0/24.  Back at the central office the SCADA computer is sitting behind a Cisco 2911.  The LAN address of the central office is 192.168.11.0/24.  The 2911 is utilizing GRE tunnels that terminate with Verizon.  The original turn up was done with another contractor that did a basic config of the router which you will find below.  As it stands now I am pretty confident the tunnels are up and working (if I change a local computers subnet to 255.255.0.0 I can surprisingly reach the airlinks in the field), but this is obviously not the right way to solve the problem, not to mention I was unable to successfully poll the end devices on the other side of the Airlinks.  I think I understand just about every part of the config below and think it is just missing a few items to be complete.  I would greatly appreciate anyone’s help in getting this set up correctly.  I also have a few questions about the set up that still don’t make sense to me, you will find them below the config.  Thanks in advance.

    That should allow my internal LAN to reach the Airlink gateways on the other side of the tunnel (I think)
    Now for a couple of questions for those that are still actually hanging around.
    #1 what is the purpose of the Ethernet address assigned to each tunnel?  I only see them being used in the BGP section where they are receiving routing tables from the Verizon side (is that correct?).  Why wouldn't or couldn't you just use the physical Ethernet address interface in its place (in the BGP section)?
    #2 is the config above correct in pointing the default route to the physical Ethernet address?  Does that force the packets into the tunnel, or shouldn’t you be pointing it towards the tunnel IP's (172.16.200.2)?  If the config above is correct then I should not need to add the route I described above as if I ping out to 192.168.1.X that should catch it and force it into the tunnel where Verizon would pick it up and know how to get it to its destination??
    #3 Will I need to add another permit to the VZW_VPN for TCP as in the end I need to be able to poll via Modbus which uses port 502 TCP.  Or is TCP implicit in some way with the GRE permit?
     I actually have alot more questions, but I will keep reading for now.
    I really appreciate the time you all took to trudge through this.  Also please feel free to point anything else out that I may have missed or that can be improved.  Have a great day!

    My first comment is that you have two posts in this forum and as far as I can tell they are exact duplicates, other than changing the title of the posts. It is better to figure what you want to ask and then to ask once.
    My second comment is that you have given us information about your central site. At some point we may also need some information about what is at the remote and how that is set up. But for now we will deal with what we know about your site.
    Before I deal with your specific questions I will comment that if you are able to access the remote airlinks that it is a pretty good indicator that the tunnels are probably working. But to understand the significance of this it would help if you clarify for us what address is on the local computer when you change the subnet to 255.255.0.0.
    Also what you have shown us allows us to see that BGP is configured but provides no insight into whether BGP is working or now. It would provide helpful information if you would post the output of show ip bgp sum.
    So to address your specific questions:
    You suggest that adding a static route for 192.168.1.0 might be part of the solution. But we have no information about what that network is or its significance. So we have no way to know whether the static route would help or not. But my guess (based on very scant information and therefore based mostly on assumptions) is that if BGP is working correctly that the static route is not needed.
    1) asks about an Ethernet address on the tunnel. I assume that you really meant to ask about the IP address assigned to the tunnel. The reason that the tunnel needs it own IP address is that we want a unique subnet assigned to the tunnel. If we used the address from the physical interface as you suggest then both tunnels would have the same address and that implies that they both connect to the same place, and that assumption is not correct.
    2) Yes it is correct to point the default route to the IP address that is the next hop from the Ethernet interface. You might want to have a route pointing at the tunnel address for remote subnets reached via the tunnel. But in looking at the config and trying to understand what was intended it is pretty obvious that running BGP over the tunnel is intended to learn the remote addresses over the tunnel and therefore there is no need for static routes for the remote resources.
    3) You should not need an additional permit for TCP 402. The TCP packet will be carried through the tunnel and the access list you are referring to will see the packet will modbus polling as GRE traffic and not as TCP traffic.

  • I am using a verizion jetpack to wireless connect to an airport express next i want to connect a Airport extreme wired from toe express to create a second private network that has internet access via the jetpack

    Thanks for the help after looking over your sugesstion I did some additional troubleshooting which i should have done in the beginning and heres what i found
    Airport express is joined to and existing wireless network and i have internet access....all good
    I set up my Airport Extreme as follows:
                        Connect using :ethernet

    Wireless    Create a wireless network
                             Wireless network name Test1
                              wpa2 security
    This is needed due to set ip address of device on this private network did not address NAT
    Conneted Express ethernet port to Extreme wan port
    All wired devices have internet access and i get a double nat status which ignore
    however my wireless device will not connect.... sometimes they will they want
    any suggestions

  • Certificate error when connecting to RemoteApp outside of private network

    I have a server running Windows Server 2012 R2. It is configured as an all-in-one RDS server - all roles are installed on it. We've configured it primarily to use an application as a RemoteApp - the application is hosted at a different site, and this RDS
    server is at that site. We have a site to site VPN set up, so that it is all a part of our domain. The issue I'm having seems related to the fact that our internal network is .local, but the certificate only has a single .com name, so that we can access it
    from the Internet.
    Everything works, though what I'm trying to clear up is a certificate error. When connecting to the RemoteApp from outside of our private network, we get the error "The server name on the certificate is incorrect." This occurs after entering
    credentials.  The public name of the server (rds.contoso.com) is different from the private name (server.contoso.local).  We can proceed through the error and connect (though we'd like to fix it).
    I implemented a fix that I found elsewhere to try to fix this.  This was to add a custom RDP setting like so:
    Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName QuickSessionCollection -CustomRdpProperty "use redirection server name:i:1`nalternate full address:s:rds.contoso.com"
    That seemed to make some progress, then we got another error.  I made a change to the RD RAP in RD Gateway Manager - by default, it allowed access to Domain Computers (which rds.contoso.com did not exist as a domain computer). I modified it to allow
    access to the rds.contoso.com name.
    I now receive a different error message and that's where I'm stuck.  The heading on the message is RemoteApp Disconnected.  The text of the error is 'Remote Desktop can't find the computer "rds.contoso.com".  This might mean that
    "rds.contoso.com" does not belong to the specified network.  Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to.'
    Any thoughts on what I can do next?  When I roll back the changes I've made, I'm again able to connect fine, I just have the certificate error again.

    Hi,
    1. For changing the published FQDN I recommend you use Set-RDPublishedName cmdlet instead setting a custom rdp property on the collection:
    Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment
    https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80
    2. As you mentioned before you need to edit the RD RAP so that the FQDN that you are using is permitted, or set it to Allow users to connect to any network resource.
    3. On your internal network (internal to the RDG), you need to create a DNS A record for the published FQDN (rds.contoso.com) that points to your server's private ip address. 
    I'm not sure how you have things configured right now in terms of network and DNS so it is tough to give you instructions on how to fix.  Let me explain a bit.  Normally with a VPN you would not need RD Gateway, although it is okay
    if you want to use it.  If you have things configured properly an external client will normally connect to the RDG using the FQDN specified for RDG, then the RDG will connect to the published FQDN for the RDS deployment.
    In your case these two FQDNs would be the same, only when the client does a DNS lookup it should get the ip address that you want users to connect to for the RDG whereas when the RDG does a DNS lookup it should get the private ip address of the server. 
    Exactly how you need to configure your DNS entries will depend on your VPN and networking configuration.
    Please give it a try using the information provided above and reply back here with your results and any further questions you may have.
    Thanks.

  • Skype installed. Icon in Apps folder. Login ok... Skype logo, my name with "logout" next to it. Stopped right there. "check network connections".Skype guy said firewall must allow but FW is not even turned on. Have Airport router.

    Skype installed. Icon in Apps folder. Login ok... Skype logo, my name with "logout" next to it. Stopped right there. "check network connections". Skype guy said firewall must allow but firewall is not even turned on. Have Airport router.
    How do I allow Skype to get past network?

    You make no mention of which OS you are using.  The following are Yosemite instructions:
    System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall>Unlock the padlock.
    Click on the Firewall Options button.
    Click the + (plus) button & do the necessary to add Skyp & to allow incoming connections.  When done, click the OK button & lock the padlock.
    Restart your computer.  Report back the results.

  • Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router.  All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4.  It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page.  Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your response.
    I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
    I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router.  Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully.  Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast.  I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist.  To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages.  He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
    I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g".  The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
    By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home.  This difficulty is at a second home.
    Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

  • Losing Router/Network Connection

    I'm having this problem more and more frequently -- when my computer wakes up it has lost its network connection (via ethernet to a router). The normal IP address should be 192.168..., but when this happens its shown as 169... The only way I've been able to fix the problem is to restart. It started happening about a month ago, but only very occasionally. Now it's to the point of me having to restart 2 or 3 or more times per day. It only affects my computer, the other computers on my network (1 ethernet and 1 airport) are OK. Any suggestions or reasons why this is happening with increasing frequency?
    Thanks.

    One thing that might help temporarily from having to restart, is to use Gnarlodious' fine ALL OFF suggestion to toggle to, then back.
    I don't know what that means.
    Just a hunch, but I'd try this even though it says WPA2 and different symptoms & HW, wish Apple would update that doc, as many other reconnect problems get fixed by it...

    This article refers to airport problems. My computer does not have airport, so the settings it shows are not available to me. I'm using an ethernet connection.
    Thirdly, though I always use this at first sign of trouble myself, get Applejack...

    This sounds like it does much the same thing as Tweak Freak or MacJanitor. I run Tweak Freak periodically. I just ran all the maintenence routines, so I'll see if that helps.

  • Addition of third computer in network causes router to drop internet connection (is the problem Dropbox???)

    This is not specifically about MacBook Pros, per se, but since all of the communities are based on specific products, I chose it since it applies to two of the devices concerned.
    We have a LINKSYS WRT54G router in our home connected to cable internet.
    We normally run a number of iOS devices on it at any given time (iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPhone 4, two iPad 2nd gen., one iPad Mini with Retina), and almost at all times, an Intel MacBook Pro on 10.6. We sometimes also have an Intel MacBook (black) on 10.6. These all live in harmony just fine. Both laptops have Dropbox on them, but signed in on different user accounts.
    I used to have someone working at my house quite often on an Intel MacBook Pro on 10.7, also using Dropbox (but signed into a unique account). Whenever she had her computer on in our house, it would often cause the network to just drop the internet connection suddenly. The network would still have a strong signal, internet just wouldn't work.
    We never quite figured it out. We had to reset the router constantly. It was NOT the modem -- you could reset just the router and the results were the same as if you had reset the modem. I didn't pursue a fix since she has since stopped working here.
    Recently we just added an Intel iMac on 10.6 to the house, and it is doing the same thing. The only difference is this time, it's logged into the same Dropbox account as my MacBook Pro. At first, it seemed as if there was an issue if both were trying to update at the same time. When I paused syncing on one computer or throttled the upload/download bandwidth, it seemed to get better. However, lately, I am not syncing any large files -- or any files at all, it seems, sometimes -- and I also kept one machine on throttled connections, while a THIRD machine is even off completely...and it's still kicking the internet connection off.
    Any ideas? I'm getting really tired of re-setting it every so often.
    Thank you!

    Also, there are no other networks we pick up here. Sometimes, we randomly get the neighbor's, but it's protected and we don't ever join it.
    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
