LAN-based Failover & intermittent drop issues

Have 2 PIX535s each at remote sites configured for LAN-based failover. There is a VLAN("abc")designed for failover, but in that same VLAN are servers.
My setup is as follows:
PIX535 connects to a DMZ switch using 4 connections: the Inside intf & 3 other intfs.
On that same DMZ switch connects my core switch on the inside network. The core switch is the Root Bridge for the said VLAN ("abc"). It trunks this VLAN, along with others, to the DMZ switch.
On that same DMZ switch are a number of servers that are in this vlan ("abc").
When I configure one of the PIX interfaces to be in this same VLAN and be used for LAN-based failover I get intermittently lose of connectivity to different servers at different times. Its never any one particular server.
When I use another PIX interface, still connecting to this same DMZ switch, but in another VLAN ("xyz"), for LAN-based failover, I dont get any problems.
This other PIX interface is also being used for State failover. The idea is to have two separate interfaces, one each for LAN-based & State failover.
What could be the possible cause of this intermittent loss of connectivity to the servers in VLAN "abc" when I switch LAN-based failover to the PIX interface that connects to a VLAN "abc" port on the DMZ switch.

  • My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book).  The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine.  I have changed the bands, but the problem comes back.  Transmitter problem or interference?

    My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book).  My hard-wired iMac still has internet capability.  The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine.  I have changed the bands back and forth, but the problem comes back.  How can I check if it is a transmitter problem or interference?

    Let me see if I can suggest a strategy.
    I have talked with my ISP and he said that I am not the only one with an Airport Extreme with the same issue. He said to try to write the DNS direclty, rather than using the Auto settings - still nothing works.
    What modem do you have and what sort of broadband?
    What mode is the AE in.. router or bridge?
    I have an Airport Express from 2010. Since about a month and definetly since yesterday, I cannot connect any device via Wifi to it although LAN connection works correctly.
    Is this express or extreme.. the rest of the post you refer to extreme.
    What is the actual model number of the AE? A1xxx from the base or the part number MCxxx from the box.
    If the AE is bridge.. I want you to try a different method.. put it in router mode.. don't worry about double NAT but ensure the IP range of the modem /router is different to the AE.. so if one is 192.168.x.x then the AE on default at 10.x.x.x is fine.. if the main router is 10.x then move the AE to 192.168.x.x
    Make sure the guest wireless is off.
    Using a 5.6 utility on your 10.6.8 OS mini go to the log and see if the wireless is registering..
    You should see lists of wireless connection like..
    Post as many screenshots of the setup as you can.. it helps loads.
    IPv6 is starting to become a pain.. try it off and try local link and try auto.. in the computer.

  • Hyper-V causing intermittent network issues on Host?

    I have a strange issue, I am not entirely sure Hyper-V is causing it, but it certainly seems that way.
    Scenario
    Host: Windows 8.1
    Network Adapter: Intel Dual Band AC-7260 (Wifi)
    Network Adapters (relevant ones are highlighted yellow)
    Issue
    When I continuously ping my wifi router (on the host machine), it intermittently drops.  See the screen shot below.
    This issue also manifests itself within the Virtual Machines as the machine constantly getting a DHCP IP address and then losing it.  This happens continuously every few minutes.
    Currently, I can resolve the issues by disabling Wifi on the host and then re-enabling it.  I sometimes have to do that 2/3 times for it to stop dropping out.  But it does fix the issue.
    What have I tried?
    I have been in contact with Dell (laptop is an XPS 15 2013) and Intel support.  They have replaced the motherboard and now they want to replace the WiFi card.  Personally I don't think it will help.
    Why do I think it is HyperV related?
    If I run the host machine with the VMs powered down, I do not get any issues.  However, as soon as I start any Hyper-V VMs, the issue will usually start pretty quickly.
    What it isn't.
    This is not related to wifi signal or anything like that.  
    The wifi router is 2 meters from my laptop.  
    Other devices in the house do not exhibit this behaviour
    The behaviour is consistent across all networks (office, home, coffee shop etc)
    Thanks for any help.

    @Brian,
    I have done some more research.  It seems that the "bridge" is normal when sharing with wifi.
    You might have also noticed that although the virtual switch vEthernet
    (AGMnet External WLAN) is connected to (is using) host’s WLAN
    NIC it is however showing an Ethernet LAN symbol
    (connector of a LAN cable) and presented under LAN connections.
    This has a simple explanation: all Hyper-V network connections are Ethernet (LAN) connections; Hyper-V does not support WiFi so
    even when a virtual switch is connected to a wireless NIC, Hyper-V presents it as Ethernet connection to the virtual machine i.e. the virtual NIC on vm “thinks” it is connected with an Ethernet cable.
    This also means that when we are using an external virtual switch connected to a WLAN NIC, we need an extra
    network bridge on the host. The virtual NIC connects to a virtual switch, virtual switch in its turn connects to a host network bridge which creates (as its name says) a bridge between our virtual Ethernet connection and host WLAN NIC’s connection to the router:

  • Reliability: OD Master & Replica, or IP-based failover?

    I have an Xserve that serves approx. 60 users and around 200GB of shared files. The primary Xserve is the OD master for my workgroup, and the backup Xserve is an OD replica.
    I'm new to OS X Server (but not client), so I don't know what happens in the event of, say, the OD master dying. Do client login/access requests automatically get answered by the OD replica? The reason I'm asking this is I'm trying to decide between using two separate servers with an OD master & replica relationship, or using IP-based failover where the backup server would effectively "pretend" to be the primary server in case of a problem.
    But with IP-based failover, I don't know if the backup server will automatically know to become an OD master or not. Or, perhaps, the OD integration is completely separate; and I can choose to use IP-based failover and do OD replication whichever way I want to. Does anyone have concrete info?

    If your OD Master fails the OD Replica will automatically start handling authentication requests so for the most part you're covered (at least users can still log in).
    As noted in that .pdf, though, the replica doesn't allow changes to the directory other than password changes for users with Open Directory passwords.
    The main issue is how long your master is going to be down, and the relative pain of promoting the replica to be a master.
    For various reasons there is no automatic promote-to-master function because most failures of the master are temporary (e.g. a simple reboot after a software update).
    For the failover question I would use IP failover for any services that don't have their own failover mechanism. In all cases you need to write failover scripts to startup whatever processes you need your standby machine to take over. In the case of OD there is a built-in, automatic failover process so I would use that. The only exception to that would be if you wanted the replica to become a master server should the master fail, but I can't think of any circumstance where that would be the case.

  • Frame-Dropping Issue.

    Hello, this is my first post, and I have a Frame-Dropping issue.
    I am making a video on FCP and during playback, when I reach the end of the video (there is still audio in the background), it says there are some dropped frames. I tried switching from Safe RT to Unlimited RT and back again... many times. But when I start the playback from a second or two from the end of the video, it works fine. Can someone help me?
    Many thanks in advance.

    #12 Dropped frames on capture/playback
    Shane's Stock Answer #12: Dropped frames on capture/playback
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58640
    1) Do not capture to your main system drive. Since it is busy reading the operating system and application files, it will intermittently drop frames during capture. Capture to a separate internal drive, or external hard drive (firewire and eSATA for example).
    2) Deactivate any anti-virus/filesaver software, including Norton and Virex. For some reason these programs think that the large files created when you capture media are in fact caused by some sort of virus, and they try to prevent this.
    3) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mac OS Extended, journaling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
    4) Trash the FCP preference files. Use FCP Rescue available here:
    http://www.fcprescue.com
    5) Make sure that the hard drives you are capturing to are fast enough to handle the footage being captured to it. A regular firewire 400 drive cannot capture uncompressed HD, or even uncompressed standard definition. A RAID array of drives might be in order for these formats.

  • LMS 4.2.4 intermittent Syslog issue

    Hi All,
    syslogs services on the LMS stops all of a sudden and doesn't reflect the current logs from the devices till we restart services.
    Performed below steps
    -> Found the device logs are making its way to syslog.log file(CSCOpx>logs)
    -> SyslogCollector and SyslogAnalyzer are in healthy state.
    -> Even the collector subscription status is fine.
    After the restart of the SyslogCollector and SyslogAnalyzer  the logs reflects back on lms. Issue is intermittent and reappeared couple of times. any suggestions to find root of the problem ??

  • Time Capsule intermittently drops connection

    Hello all. 
    Right around the release of Mountain Lion I started having issues with my Time Capsule.  I'm not sure the issue has anything to do with Mountain Lion directly since I didn't actually update until today thinking it may help solve my issue.  But basically, my TC intermittently drops the Internet connection just long enough to interrupt what I'm doing but comes back in just a few seconds.  For example, if I'm playing a game, the game server will disconnect me.  I wait about 30 seconds and then I can log back in.  If I'm browsing a website the page will just freeze and go blank or came back in just a few seconds depending on how long the signal seems to be gone.  The computer I'm on when this happens the most is not using wireless, I run an Ethernet cord directly to the TC since wireless is generally unreliable for gaming but I have experienced the issue on other devices. 
    My setup is my TC is being used as a router so it's connected directly to the modem from my ISP.  There are a few other devices directly plugged into the TC and a few that use it wirelessly.  I've done some troubleshooting and if I connect my computer directly to the ISP modem I have no issues, so I know it must be the TC.  Nothing about my setup has changed in over a year and this problem just randomly cropped up.  The only thing I can think of is a few weeks ago I reset my router to factory and renamed my network when I got rid of my Airport Express and started using Apple TV.  But this issue started even before I set up Apple TV so I don't think it's that. 
    I've been researching the issue for days and can't seem to find a solution.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    What modem (make and model.. and type of broadband) is it and is it working as a router.. when you say you test by plugging directly to the ISP modem .. what changes do you have to make for that to work?? Does the TC show a double NAT error when it is connected to the modem?
    Gen3 TC have a nasty board fault.
    Can you check the log and see if you are getting disconnection error messages.
    Can you downgrade the TC firmware to 7.5.2 just to test? If you are correctly using it with a single router in the network,, either the modem router or the TC.. as the only router.. I have a pretty poor opinion of the later firmware. It is only a test and you can upgrade again to 7.6.1 without any big hassle.
    But do save the configuration and do a full factory reset when you go backwards.
    See board fault info here.

  • My MBP is intermittently dropping wifi connection.

    I have a MacBook Pro (MBP), about 3 1/2 years old. In the past 6 months, it has started intermittently dropping the wifi connection to my router. Other Macs in our family are not having this same problem, so I don't think it's the router. This is occurring several times a day. My browser simply stops loading webpages, and my email just stops sending and receiving. Sometimes I can get it to connect again by turning the wifi off and then on again, without quitting the apps. Other times I have to quit the apps in addition to stopping and re-starting wifi. I'm starting to wonder if my MBP is getting too cluttered with software, plugins, processes that automatically startup, etc., and I'm wondering if there is a recommended way to "clean this up". Years ago on the dark side (i.e. in the PC world), I used to backup all my data, re-format the HDD, re-install Windows and apps, and restore my data. I don't know how to do that on a Mac...too new at the game. Also, if you have any other suggestions that would help me diagnose the problem or fix the problem, I would be happy to hear them.

    Well its like you said before it is probably your Pro, just wanted to confirm so. Check one more thing just to make sure that it is your Pro and not a network issue.
    1) At the time the internet is not working, is it working (at that exact same time) on any other device? If so how many devices are connected at that exact same time? If you can get the IP off of one of those devices and see if you can ping it from your Pro.
    My thoughts are as follows:
    1) Too many devices on your Wireless Access Point
    2) Too much bandwidth going in/out so it is cutting something out.
    I just want to ensure that the problem is/is not your Pro before we go running off and reinstalling OSX.

  • RV320 Intermittent connectivity issues

    We have been having intermittent problems with internet (WAN) connectivity on my wife's small business computer network.  Connectivity will be fine for a day or so, and then we will have a period of poor and frequently interrupted connectivity.  I have our router (a Cisco RV320K9NA) set to send me notifications about problems, and when our internet connection is disrupted, I receive the following notifications from the router:
    Mar 28 07:31:11 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD FAIL WAN[1]
    Mar 28 07:32:11 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]

    Mar 28 07:40:58 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]
    The above is a sample, there are many more notifications of this type in the log.
    Our network configuration is as follows:
    Our internet provider's cable modem is connected to our router, which is connected to a Netgear ProSafe 24 port switch.  All of our network devices and computers are connected to the switch.
    We have tried many things to fix this problem.  Our internet provider (Time Warner) has replaced their cable modem. We have replaced our router.  My wife increased the speed of our network connection based on usage data from the internet provider. I have replaced the ethernet cable between the router and the cable modem.
    We have not been able to reproduce the connectivity problem when we directly connect a laptop to the cable modem, so the internet provider has decided that the issue must be internal to our network and/or router, washing their hands of the whole problem.
    I'm technically proficient, but I'm no networking technician, so I'm looking for help and suggestions to fix this problem.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you can offer.

    No, it was wireless. Here is the same test run whilst wired in. I don't understand this though. I wasn't complaining about the speed? I was complaining about the general intermittent connectivity issues we experience, and the regular lack of availability the service provides. Perhaps these are standard tests you have to run beforehand?
    The last time I complained about my connectivity issues was in February. If you have access to the ticketing tool, you'll be able to see the nature of my complaint. It was ticket number: VOL051-4263008159178. Something was "done at the exchange" and someone logged onto my HH3 and changed the wireless channel and that "fixed" it. Trouble is, it's been the same ever since. We have a few hours where the connection is stable, then we'll start to get packet losses when trying to connect to sites like Google.co.uk, Bt.com etc etc.
    I'm no expert, but this is clearly more than an issue with the wireless channel and some spurious problem at the exchange. This is a continuing nightmare for us which is preventing us from accessing the internet for hours at a time and therefore taking full advantage of the services we pay a lot of money for!

  • Intermittent connectivity issues

    So I had a Motorola SB 6120 modem working for over 4 years with Comcast and all of the sudden I start getting intermittent connectivity issues at night (it could be during the day as well, but I am actively working and doing school work at night). The issue comes and goes. I call Comcast and they swear up and down its my modem - which I dont believe since Im the connectivity issues are not fixed by resseting it, just waiting it out. I go ahead and get a new modem (SB6141) and router - spending over $200 and guess what - still having the identical issue. I call in and the support person states that as far as the modem goes everything is fine but the signal is dropping (same issue, two different conclusions after a good amount of arguing on my end and $200 I wont see back). So I tech comes back but I have to be at work and leave my wife and brother in law at home to make sure he comes by. When I get home apparently the tech had stated that "the modem was not correctly registered". That means that my other modem wasnt? And that an uncorrectly registered modem works from time to time? ... Really? So I try to do a live chat since again, I have to work and cant waste my entire day waititing for comcast to fess up and admit their service is the issue. And here is the part of the conversation in which I basically gave up hope on getting anywhere:Akemi: Sometimes if your modem is plugged to Comcast outlet you should be also receiving inetrnet signals, but then becasue if it is not properly registered you will be expriencing intermittent connection.----------------------------------------------------------MARCOS: ok, let me see if i can get itMARCOS: meanwhile, can u tell me how my modem may have been "incorrectly registered" and still working for over 30 daysAkemi: Much appreciated, thank you so much.MARCOS: and how that can be the cause of intermittent issues - since it seems like a lieAkemi: Sometimes if your modem is plugged to Comcast outlet you should be also receiving inetrnet signals, but then becasue if it is not properly registered you will be expriencing intermittent connection.MARCOS: that makes no sense. that modem was not working WHATSOEVER until I called. the modem shouold have been blocked by the MAC addressMARCOS: should*MARCOS: otherwise any1 can get comcast tv, plug in a router from best buy and have internetAkemi: Thanks for the info.---------------------------------------------------------Can someone help?

  • Airtunes intermittently drops the signal from iTunes

    My Airtunes intermittently drops the signal from iTunes and I can't figure out why. It happens is I am playing internet radio or from iTunes collection. Sometimes it will play for hours without issue, then it may drop the signal for a few seconds and pick it up again. Every once in awhile, it might do it every 5-10 minutes of so.
    Some quick facts:
    * Mac mini G4 with 512k of ram. Running Leopard 10.5.8 and it has Airport.
    * iTunes 9.01
    * The N version of AEX. I believe all the firmware is up to date. (I ran check for software updates and nothing came up).
    * Mini is located on the 2nd floor at the front of the house. AEX is located on the 1st floor at the back of the house. Distance is about 30 feet (guessing). Also, I live in an interior townhouse.
    * This problem started when I switch from Comcast to Verizon FIOS. The Comcast setup had cable coming into the basement where I had a wireless Linksys router. The Mini would pick up the signal from it wirelessly. Everything seemed to work fine with the AEX (same location on the 1st floor). I switched to FIOS and it goes through my ethernet port. I disconnected the Linksys router/Comcast.
    * Note, I don't think it is related to any of my appliances, etc. Not sure about the neighbors, but since I haven't has the problem before the switch to FIOS, I am thinking that would not be the case.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

    I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues.  Phone and TV continue to work.
    Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router.  When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned.  I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me.  I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it".  Whatever...
    Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy.  I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator.  Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address.  But I can't get out past the router at all.  On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router.  We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
    I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point.  After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself.  Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
    So what is the issue here?  Is MOCA a mess?  Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better?  I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
    I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen.  When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding.  Nice...  And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
    Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

    I would try using a non-verizon router.  I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem.  The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

  • Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

    I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008.  At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010.  It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection.  I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed.  I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue.  After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved!  I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
    When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability.  Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care.  If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability.  Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
    I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago.  The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem.  I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix.  However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet.  Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered!  What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with?  I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
    I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work.  I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn.  Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business.  I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn.  It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't.  I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • DOM Based Cross-Site Scripting issue in RoboHelp 10

    We're using a WebHelp system originally deplyed using RoboHelp 9.0.2.271, and a recent security scan revealed the DOM based cross-site scripting issue.
    I recently upgraded to RoboHelp 10, migrated my help system to this version, and redeployed the system, but our security scan is still detecting the cross-scripting vulnerability in WebHelp. Wasn't this issue resolved in RoboHelp 10?
    Thanks
