OSPF external route selection problem

Hello. I have a situation where I got two paths to get to a destination. Router A can get to subnet C either through my Telco's onsite router (Router A->telco router->Router C)or through a secondary link that travels from Router A-> Router B->diffenent Telco router->Router C.
The link between Router A and the telco router is area 0. The link between Router A->B->Telco router is also area 0.
Normally I want traffic to go directly through the onsite telco router...and only go through the longer route if the onsite router goes down.
For some reason I'm going through the suboptimal path. Here's what the OSPF database is telling me:
Routing Bit Set on this LSA
LS age: 1267
Options: (No TOS-capability, DC)
LS Type: AS External Link
Link State ID: 192.168.33.0 (External Network Number )

LS Seq Number: 80000084
Checksum: 0x4B8B
Length: 36
Network Mask: /24
Metric Type: 1 (Comparable directly to link state metric)
TOS: 0
Metric: 100
Forward Address: 0.0.0.0
External Route Tag: 66
LS age: 262
Options: (No TOS-capability, DC)
LS Type: AS External Link
Link State ID: 192.168.33.0 (External Network Number )
Advertising Router: 192.168.50.94
LS Seq Number: 800003B8
Checksum: 0xF757
Length: 36
Network Mask: /24
Metric Type: 1 (Comparable directly to link state metric)
TOS: 0
Metric: 100
Forward Address: 0.0.0.0
External Route Tag: 66
Both telco routers advertise this route as an extern type 1 with a metric of 100. Can anyone shed some light as to why my router is picking the path via 50.14 instead of 50.94? 50.94 is a locally connected network. 50.14 is a couple of hops away.
Thanks,
Mike

No problem.

Ospf forwarding address for external routes

I read this in a document:
"When OSPF learns an external LSA, it makes sure that the forwarding address is known
through an OSPF intra-area or interarea route before it installs it into the routing table. If the
forwarding address is not known through an intra-area or interarea route, OSPF will not install
the route in the routing table."
I am trying to understand from where this requirement comes from? Why OSPF will not install the route in the routing table if the forwarding address is known via ospf external route?

Hi,
the originating router sets the FA to a non-zero IP-address only when certain conditions are met:
The interface pointing to the next-hop IP of the external route
has to be OSPF-enabled (non-passive)
AND
has to be a multiacces-interface (network type broadcast or non-broadcast)
So if there is no OSPF interal route to reach the FA on other routers, someting went wrong and it's safer not to install the route.

Weird BGP path selection problem

Hi, all,
I am seeing a weird BGP path selection problem on 4948 switch running cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.122-46.SG.bin code, this switch has two uplinks to the same ISP's different edge router, one circuit is primary the other one is strict backup, only default route is accepted from ISP. I am setting both local preference and weight to the default route advertised over backup link, however neither one is taking effect, BGP still thinks the backup link is better, what could be wrong?

Hi,
On cisco routers , weight is having highest preference to decide best path. By default for received route, weight is 0 but you are setting weight 90 to backup path and that is why it is getting preferred (higher is better). Please remove weight and let local preference be 90 (lesser than route on primary path)

Time machine, finder save to external hard drive problems

I have a new 2.26 GHz mini and I wanted to get bootcamp going and install windows xp. The instructions suggested to backup the hard drive and I thought this is a great time to try the time machine. I plugged in a external hard drive, opened time machine (Time machine said it needed 29 GB for full backup and the drive had 32 GB free), selected the drive, and let the "backup count down(I think it was a minute and a half)" run down to zero. Time machine started backing up the my main drive to the external drive no problem. It was running good (100MB in 5-10 seconds) for a little while when I noticed that it had reached 2.3 GB and was not going any higher. I let it stay like that for about 5 minutes thinking that maybe it would start going again. No luck. I shut down time machine and saw a finder window with the progress bar behind it saying 2.3 GB. I push the stop button and it said stopping, but it would not stop and disappear like it should. I relaunch the finder and the icons on the desktop disappeared and would not come back. I relaunched repeatedly but they would not come back. Since the bar at the top of the screen would not come back I had to hold in the power button to shut down the computer.
Upon restart everything seemed to work fine until I tried time machine again and it would not work. So I tried to manually backup the files to the external drive. When I copied some files the little finder window popped up and said, zero KB of 290 MB, and would not change. I left it running while opened a browser and did a search for an answer to my problems. After about a half an hour I went back and saw that some files had been transferred. When I looked in the Activity monitor, I saw it was saving the files very slowly. I went to the finder progress bar and when I hit the stop button, it would say stopping but it wouldn't. I would have to relaunch the finder to make it stop. Then I tried to copy the files to a shared drive on my network and the same thing happens.
Before using the time machine both these drives worked no problems. I went to the shared drive computer and used that machine to copy the files from the mini. All files transferred no problems. So now I'm trying to find out what is wrong with my mini. It seems that it has to do with the finder since it effects both the usb and ethernet hard drives. All other functions work as they should. I don't know if anyone has had this problem after using time machine but any help would be appreciated.
Also I tried deleting my com.apple.finder.plist and relaunch the finder. No change.

That's much too small for your backups. Time Machine usually needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up (see #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum).

That sounds like the drive is not formatted properly. See #C1 in the Start with the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
The other problems may have the same cause.
Most likely, it's set up for Windoze and not suitable for Time Machine. With only 32 GB free, you must have other data on the drive, so you probably can't erase it and reformat it for Time Machine.
Report back with your findings for the *Partition Map Scheme* and Format of the drive (per #C1), and we can figure out what to do next.

External Router and Firewall

I have just been informed by Apple Care that my entire implementation for my Xserve is off base. We only got to this problem when Kerberos wouldn't work. I had judiciously followed the manual and had my Ether1 and 2 ports set up to do external (1) internal (2), provide DHCP, NAT, VPN the whole nine yards. Ran gateway assistant, got my FQDN, promoted to open directory. And now I am told by my Apple Care guy that this is not at all the way to go; that I need to have an external router with firewall and assign the static IP to it and then run the server interally only. Let me just say I took the 4 day server essentials class and that was noticably lacking in the discussion. So I guess what I am asking today is what an ideal router/firewall product would be suggested. I'd prefer it be rack mounted. I also need a product that the company is going to support. So suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I guess I am back to square one on this. Full reinstall. Sigh.

1. Run OD and AFP on the fixed IP Master. This should
be your strongest, fastest server and must have a
real fixed IP address, not allocated by DHCP. You
need an FQDN for this IP address entereted in your
internal DNS.
WES: I believe I am hearing you say that the VPN/Firewall server (the weaker one) would now carry the static IP address on ethernet1; and have say 192.168.2.1 as it's manualy set internal IP on ethernet2; say 192.168.3.1. The better server would have it's IP manually set to, say 192.168.3.1.
2. Run internal DHCP and DNS services on the Master
also.
WES: I am not sure why one would run DHCP and DNS here though? I figured that was a simplier process to accompish off the weaker server.
3. On your firewall machine (the Replica, maybe
running Tiger Server 10-user) run your webpages &
VPN.
WES: But as I understood it, one had to run this off of the machine with the FQDN. Same as mail. More below....
4. Put Mail on a completely separate box in your
DMZ.
WES: I'm not sure I follow you here. I am out of boxes. Actually I'll have to buy another one if I got this route at all. I don't have nearly a large enough operation to justify three servers -- maybe not two -- except for this problem.
One advantage of using a Tiger Server Master/Replica
over a cheap firewall box is that you have redundancy
available for all your Tiger Server apps (DHCP, DNS,
etc). You also have an automatic backup of all user
accounts/passwords and you don't need to configure
separate VPN accounts/profiles for your users.
WES: Yes that makes sense.
Plus, if you're serious about VPN, 'proper' routers
start to get real expensive if you need concurrent
connections.
WES: There is another issue that I am a bit uncertain about. Where I got into trouble here was trying to get Kerberos to work. However, I am not sure that in the end that's a service I'm going to need. If VPN encrypts all traffic over the internet is Kerberos necesssary. I DON'T need it in house as there isn't an internal security issue of any kind. Maybe I am shooting for something I don't need...which brings us to...I am still confused about the Apple Care guy's comment that with the set up as it is, he could essentially raid my OD. He rattled off a lot of cool talk that made me think he was right but I have never found any reference to this. Can anyone explain to me -- one box acting in this capacity for a small office with a public IP -- being that open to a security risk. Puzzles me.

How to Implement Management Chain in External routing Service

hi,
I am using External Routing Service to Assign & route the tasks.
I will get the authorisation workflow in our external Routing class , Now I am suppose to implement that workflow in BPM worklist for that human task.
One way is to know the way to implement management chain in the External Routing Service.
I have found some BPEL classes for doing the same eg. ParticipantsType.ManagementChain, objFactory.createParticipantsTypeManagementChain().
But not able to find any sample code to implement.
Does any body knows how to implement the same.
Is their any other way to resolve this issue.
you can also refer the following thread to understand the problem statement: PROGRAMMATICALLY PERSISTING THE APPROVAL WORKFLOW FOR A HUMAN TASK.
thanks
Jagdish

I have tried the below mentioned code for implemnting management chain...
     private Participants createParticipant() {
          System.out.println("1");
          String user = users[numberOfApprovals++];
          ObjectFactory objFactory = new ObjectFactory();
          Participants participants = objFactory.createParticipants();
          participants.setIsAdhocRoutingSupported(false);
               StageType stage = objFactory.createParticipantsTypeStage();
               stage.setName("Stage1");
               System.out.println("2");
               SequentialParticipant seqParticipant = objFactory.createParticipantsTypeSequentialParticipant();
               seqParticipant.setName("Stage1.Participant1");
               System.out.println("3");
               ListType listType = objFactory.createList();
               ManagementChainListType managementListType = objFactory.createManagementChainListType();
               // adding Resource in the management chain
               ResourceType resourceChain = objFactory.createResourceType("fkafka");
               resourceChain.setIsGroup(false);
               resourceChain.setType("STATIC");
               resourceChain.setIdentityType("user");
               managementListType.getResource().add(resourceChain);
               System.out.println("4");
               // adding levels in the management chain
               ParameterType levelParameterType = objFactory.createParameterType("2");
               levelParameterType.setType("STATIC");
          managementListType.setLevels(levelParameterType);
               System.out.println("5");
               // adding title in the management chain
               ParameterType titleParameterType = objFactory.createParameterType("Vice President");
               titleParameterType.setType("STATIC");
               managementListType.setTitle(titleParameterType);
               System.out.println("6");
               listType.setManagementChain(managementListType);
               System.out.println("7");
               seqParticipant.setList(listType);
               System.out.println("8");
               stage.getParticipantOrSequentialParticipantOrAdhoc().add(seqParticipant);
               System.out.println("9");
          participants.getParticipantOrSequentialParticipantOrAdhoc().add(stage);
          System.out.println("10");
          return participants;
The above code doesnot give error during execution but It doesnot work, what It's suppose to be...
what It does is..It calls onInitiation method number of times [equal to the number of levels given in hierachy +1] at one shot. without being assigned to anybody and come out of the human task.
please let me know..If am missing something...
thanks

Satellite L850 - external 1080p display problems

I had been running my Satellite L850 laptop via HDMI to an external monitor without problem for many months.
A couple of weeks ago I attempted to update the catalyst driver and have had problems ever since.
Basically now when I select 1080p mode via the catalyst control panel it makes the screen flash and have vertical lines.
Occasionally it will work for a short period, even up to an entire day and than it will randomly start again. I can play a game in 1080p mode and it will be totally random, sometimes allowing me to play for hours without having the black screen flashes whilst other times it will flash constantly and the only way to resolve is to either restart or pull out the HDMI cable and plug back in and cross your fingers you have enough time to reopen catalyst and change to 720P which is always stable.
I have tried:
1. Using the AMD Catalyst removal tool and reinstalling via the original factory default Toshiba catalyst drivers
2. Using System Restore to go back before I made the changes
3. Using the AMD Catalyst removal tool and updating to the newest version via AMD website.
4. Reinstalling my chipset drivers along with #1
5. Tried a different monitor (still happens)
On a side note every time I use the removal tool it removes my USB drivers also and I have to reinstall.
The current graphics driver is AMD Radeon HD 7670M and I have also tried the solution on the tech support forum here http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/item/781.
I have run out of options other than a complete format and reinstall which I want to avoid if possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Probably your problem has nothing to do with the picture issue mentioned in the technical document posted by MisterX.
I could read in your first post above, that this issue appeared exactly after the driver update.
> A couple of weeks ago I attempted to update the catalyst driver and have had problems ever since.
Are you 100% sure that the display driver update has caused this problem?
You have also mentioned that this issue does not appear always but sporadically and every once in a while.
From my point of few there are some open questions:
1) Is it really an graphic card driver problem or maybe an GPU issue?
If the issue did not appear in the past (before the GPU driver update) then yes: it could be related to the driver.
2) The notebook support also an Intel HD graphic card (its part of the Intel CPU)
I think you should check if the same issue would appear using the Intel GPU.
Try to uninstall the AMD driver (from device manager as well as from programs & features are within the control panel) and test it using Intel GPU only.
3) Last but not least test the notebooks video output with fresh recovered notebook. After the recovery the graphic card driver should be the same which you have used before the update.

Manual routing selection in REM.

Dear Gurus,
Is there any configuration settings for manual routing selection in REM ??
Regards,
Pradeep

Dear Pradeep,
Why do you want to select the Rotuing manually?
Once if your Product has got 2 different routing ,it might be
because of Shop Floor constraint or for costing purpose,after
creating a new routing,you have to create a Production version
for a combination of Rate routing And BOM.
After that you have to create a Product Cost collector using the
new Production version and create a preleminary product cost
estimate for the product cost collector and save.
If You want to decide at that time of production
confirmation,which routing has to be used,then before this step
you have to change the REM profile for that particular product (
whose activities are posted using the Preleminary cost of the
Product Cost collector).
Check with this,your problem will be solved.
If still exists,revert back to forums.

IChat AV 3.1.6 (Mac) with AIM 5.9 (PC) AV Chat external router port setting

Hello,
I'm using iChat 3.1.6 on my Mac and want to videoconference (with audio) to PC users having installed AIM 5.9.
We can't get a videocon started probably due to firewall settings. I opened up my Mac firewalll ports, yet the external router has to be handled as well, as far as I've understood.
My external router is a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 (UI), Firmware-Version 14.04.15. Does anybody know the exact procedure to open the necessary ports on this device? The user interface is somewhat clumsy, and I'm not the most experienced user. Your detailed instructions are much appreciated (c:

iMac Intel Core Duo 20" 2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Dave, Ralph,
thanks to both of you for your helpful answers - I have tried port forwarding on my AVM Fritz!Box, and opening the indicated ports for TCP and for UDP works - except for port 5060 (UDP), where I get an error message "FEHLER: Eintrag kollidiert mit interner Regel." - the router won't accept the port number entry since it violates an internal rule.
I have tried to get support both from my ISP (1&1) and from AVM, the Fritz!Box manufacturer 3 days ago. AVM hasn't answered yet, I just got a ticket number from them so it seems they are working on it. 1&1, my ISP, claim they don't block any ports with their VoIP service, especially not port 5060.
Admittedly, being only one step away from a working solution, I'm somewhat clueless now.
Any more suggestions? It seems to be a specific AVM Fritz!Box problem (unless 1&1 admit otherwise)?
Thanx

Selection Problem with JTable

Hello,
i have a selection problem with JTable. I want to allow only single cell selection and additionally limit the selection to the first column.
I preffered the style from MS Outlook Express where you can select the email accounts to edit.
It is a table like this:
Account name |   Type |   ...
--------------|---------|---------------------
Hotmail       |   POP3 |
GMX           |   IMAP |The selection should be only avaibable at 'Hotmail' or 'GMX' - not at 'POP3', 'IMAP' or as complete row selection.
Please help me!

Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

Recognising external hard drive problems

My new Macbook Pro won't recognise the external hard drive I'm trying to read. The external EIDE interface HDD is from my dead G4 Powerbook (OS X 10.4.2) and it is in a 'Mobile Disk' external data storage case that is allegedly compatible with Macs. The instruction booklet says that the necessary software is on my version of OS X (10.6.5) and that "all devices must select and jump to Master Mode".
I've plugged in but my macbook pro cannot see the external HDD, although it is ok with my usb flash drives. Can anyone help? How do I get my macbook to select and jump to Master Mode and then recognise the external HDD

The "select and jump to master" comment is an instruction for you to do with your hardware on your notebook EIDE drive. The drive has a 44 pin connector, of which 40 pins are used for data, and the other 4 are generally used for setting Master/Slave/Cable Select, just like with a desktop drive. You need to determine which pins to short together to force the drive into "master" mode. That is usually drive specific, so you would need to get that info from the support site of your drive's manufacturer.

How to use External Routing in Human Task

Hi,
Could you please help me knowing how to create External Routing in Human Task in SOA Composite.
Thanks

When defining the external routing class in the .task, you can define the name value pairs which you want to pass to the program. Here you can pass dynamic values to the class as well by reading the appropiate node from the payload. In your class the name, value would be available in the "Map propertyBag" parameters in Rajiv's example link.
Document says:
Map of properties — When an assignment service is specified, a list of properties can also be specified to correlate callbacks with backend services that determine the task assignees.Or if you are too lazy to map many parameters and values, you can always read the whole Task task and then use getDocument and some xml reading to determine the values. This Task is the whole document.
API:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/apirefs.1111/e10660/oracle/bpel/services/workflow/task/model/TaskType.html#getDocument__Document says:
Task document — The task document that is executed by the workflow. The task document contains the payload and other task information like current state, and so on.Also you need to make sure that you are maintaining the state of the assignment class, doc says:
The assignment service class cannot be stateful because every time workflow services need to call the assignment service, it creates a new instance.Thus if you are doing multiple serial assignments one after the another and if your server restarts in between, then the approval would start at the first assignee again. Suppose in Rajiv's doc link e.g., if the task is assigned to 'wfaulk' and the server restarts then the task would be assigned back to 'jstein'. In order to prevent this you need to modify the java code and each time the variable changes it's value you need to place it in a dehydration store. Also on each action over the process you need to reinitialize the variable from that dehydration store.
