Password showing in running configuration on 3750's and 3560's

Hi All,
Forigve the stupid question here but I was just backing up the running configuration on the switches at work before we have a big powerdown at the weekend and I noticed that the passwords to access the switches are showing in readable text in the running configuration. Under line vty 0.4 and line vt 5.15 there is an entry for the password.
I have never seen this before in cisco switch running configurations so I was just wondering if it was normal? I'm new to the company so before I go rock the boat I thought I would ask if it is just a normal occurance as I've never seen it before on other 29 series switches that I have worked with.
If it isn't normal should I just remove it from the configuration files and then write mem to write a new config file minus the passwords? Just seems a bit risky to have passwords showing in plain sight especially if somebody ever saw the configuration file?
Any advice on the above would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks.

Thanks when I try entering the command service password-encryption I get invalid marker detected at the third character in the word service is their a condensed form of this command so that I can turn this service on please?
I am trying to enable the service password-encryption from the elevated access mode on the switch or do I need to be in just the normal mode? I thought that in order to make any configuration changes and be able to write those changes to memory you had to be in the elevated access mode?

Cisco Catalyst 3750-X or 3560-X Series Switches

Recently, our company was deciding to buy Cisco switches, but they just tell the requirements and I finally focused on two kinds of switches, Cisco Catalyst
3750-X or 3560-XSeries Switches? Who can tell me, tnx in advance.

As I read a blog recently, it listed the specific differences between Cisco 3750-X and 3560-X, except for the common features of Cisco 3750-X and 3560-X, Cisco 3750-X can also offer-- Cisco StackPower technology: An innovative feature and industry first for sharing power among stack members;
Cisco StackWise Plus technology for ease of use and resiliency with 64 Gbps of throughput;
Investment protection with backward compatibility with all other models of Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series Switches.
And made a more detailed comparison between the two products, for ur reference.

Process Orchestration - Configuration Wizard "Process Integration and Orchestration Package" shows running

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have installed an SAP PO system and am running the Config Wizard from NWA. The functional unit I have selected from NWA is - "Process Integration and Orchestration Package". This functional unit has in turn selected few more functional units like AEX, SLD. The issue that I am facing is that the wizard does not appear for my inputs and it shows that the selected wizards are running. Please see attachment "config_wizard_running.jpeg"
I read some forums and found a thread where in it was mentioned how to stop the config wizard and restart it. http://scn.sap.com/thread/1422958
Even after restarting my server, the functional units are still showing as running in NWA --> Configuration --> Scenarios --> Configuration Wizard --> Functional Unit Configuration UI. Please see attachment "Config_wizard_stuck.jpeg"
I restarted the application as suggested in the post so that I could run Config Wizard again. But its now allowing me to start it as the status is Running.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Dimitri,
Thanks a lot. I have resetted the functional units. This time the wizard comes up ok.

Amit

Retrieve running configuration from RV082 without username or password?

I have just started a job at a critical infrastructure plant in which the previous person in my position has several things set up with almost zero documentation. Since this plant is infrastructure-critical, I need to be careful in what I muck around with. Right now, the plant has no internet access (it is not necessary for the functioning of the plant) because the gentleman I replaced had set up an RV082 and was using it to VPN tunnel into the network. He is now on disciplinary leave, probably never to return, and we want to be sure he cannot access the plant. I don't know if we need to have access to the plant while off-site, but just in case we do, is there any way to get the running configuration off of this device while not knowing the username and/or password? I would really like to not wipe it out, but I suppose I can if there is no other way.
Thank you for your time.
Tim Bennett

Hi Timothy, unfortunately without a user/password the device will need to be reset.

SCOM2012 Need to use Powershell to reset the RUNAS Configuration account passwords

I Need to use Powershell to reset the SCOM2012 RUNAS Configuration account passwords... could anyone help me with this?

Hi BenStu,
Have you checked the cmdlet
"Update-SCOMRunAsAccount" to change the RunAs account password.
This script is for your reference:
$username = "<domain>/<user>"
$password = cat C:\temp\securestring.txt | convertto-securestring
$newcred = new-object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential $userName,$password
Get-SCOMRunAsAccount –name "OMWindowsRunAsOM" | Update-SCOMRunAsAccount –RunAsCredential $newCred

Show running configuration of Service Instance

What is the command to see running configuration of a service instance in 7600 router.

Hi Girish,
You do not have to add URLs. Adding URLs is for monitoring other unrelated instances.
Just add the agates to the instances and make sure they become visible in the left-hand-side pane of the ADM (on both machines).
This will enable you to go to the other ADM (on the other machine) with the link "Go to Native ADM"
Now if you want to display the instances of the other machines in your overview also, you have to add a Proxy ADM.
On both machines, add a proxy-ADM. This proxy-ADM points to the ADM on the other machine.

New Cisco 1921 doesn't display running configuration

Hi All,
I've recently received this new Cisco 1921 routers with Cisco CP loaded, so it comes up with the annoying change username and password at first access. I've removed all of those files from the flash memory, and rebooted it, and it came up with the proper initial configuration dialog, which is what I wanted.
But, whenever I configure the router with a set of basic configuration, like interface, routing, and snmp loggings, and hit wr mem, it doesn't display at all when I do "sh run". It's weird cause when I do sh run | sec rip or any other stuff that I have configured, it shows up , but not in sh run at all.
What's the deal with the new routers??? Even sh version doesn't show the config-register or memory allocation details. Which is weird!

Oam does not show the correct configuration information

Oracle apps,
An issue with the oam.
There are 2 nodes in our system. In 12
One is for db and cm
The other is for forms and apache.
The system is running fine.
But from the OAM, where it does not show the correct configuration info.
From the OAM, all the services are (including db, cm, forms, apache) on one node.
The issue might be caused by the fact that the web tier was cloned from the cm tier as a workaround for some patch errors in web tier.
I even used the EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN; to clean the system tables and ran
Autocfg on all tiers. But it didn’t solve this issue.
How can I fix this OAM problem to make it show the correct information?
Thanks,
Lily

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I did commit it.
The hostname information is correct.
On oam, this web node is there but all the service actually running on this node is
showing under the cm node .

WAAS Configuration for 3750 Switch

I am configuring a 3750 switch with 12.2(52)SE according to:
(from https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_52_se/configuration/guide/3750_scg.pdf )
This example shows how to configure SVIs and how to enable the web cache service with a multicast group list. VLAN 299 is created and configured with an IP address of 175.20.20.10. Gigabit Ethernet port 1 is connected through the Internet to the web server and is configured as an access port in VLAN 299. VLAN 300 is created and configured with an IP address of 172.20.10.30. Gigabit Ethernet port 2 is connected to the application engine and is configured as an access port in VLAN 300. VLAN 301 is created and configured with an IP address of 175.20.30.50. Fast Ethernet ports 3 to 6, which are connected to the clients, are configured as access ports in VLAN 301. The switch redirects packets received from the client interfaces to the application engine.
Note Only permit ACL entries are being used in the redirect-list; deny entries are unsupported.

Question: How do I configure my WAE to play nicely with this switch?

Hi James,
Here is the link to WCCP config part on WAE:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v441/configuration/guide/traffic.html#wp1041742
In your case, if my understanding is right, VLAN300 is where you want to connect WAE and WAE is also L2 adjacent. if that is true, here is the config you need on WAE:
wccp router-list 1 171.69.198.100
wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1 l2-redirect mask-assign l2-return
wccp version 2
Please note that 3750 supports L2 redirection only with redirect IN statements on 3750 interfaces connected to servers and clients.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Run configuration problem

JDev Team,
JDeveloper does not run the active file by default. In my default run configuration, I have "Attempt to run active file before default" option checked. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue.
1) create a new workspace "test-app"
2) create a new project "test-project"
3) create a new java file FileOne.java
package com.test;
public class FileThree
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("FileThree");
4) create another java file FileTwo.java
package com.test;
public class FileTwo
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("FileTwo");
5) Open FileOne.java in the editor, right click and run.
6) Open FileTwo.java in the editor and invoke F11. This still runs FileOne.java
I have another scenario where this process was throwing NoClassFoundError and displays "Could not find main class. Program will exit" in a dialog box. I am unable to come up with steps to duplicate this issue though.
Could you please address this issue?
Thanks

Frank,
I do have the current tab selected and it does not work for me. Perhaps we are on a different build. Anyway, I would be more than happy to do a webex and show you what is going on. Please let me know.
Thanks

ASDM validating running Configuration

I have upgrade IOS on ASA 5510 asa721-k8.bin to asa847-k8.bin and ASDM to asdm-741.bin. on my pc I use the last version of java 8. via ASDM I can log in, but when I click on configure it show message.
please wait while asdm loading current running configure from your device, but it cannot load complete %100 only %87 for long time. do anyone have the solution for this point?

Hi
Looks like you are hitting a bug here.
Downgrading the ASDM to 7.3.3 is a workaround.

I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. Thanks for any ideas!

On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing. Thanks for any ideas!

Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

Office 2013 click to run: configure specific options like in /admin setup

Hi,
In an Office 2013 click-to-run install, how can we set f.e. the Exchange server, disable Junk mail protection (we have a seperate system for that), disable RSS, username to be used in Outlook (%username%) etc?
We have that when using the office 2013 setup.exe /admin but not in the click to run.
I don't find these options in the config.xml reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195%28v=office.15%29.aspx
Please advise.

Jan Hoedt

Hi Jan,
Click-To-Run version of Office 2013 does not contain the Office Configuration Tool (OCT). And the
Config.xml file mentioned above is used to customize Windows Installer-based Office 2013 installations, not for Click-To-Run version of Office.
To configure these specific options for Click-To-Run version of Office 2013, you can use
Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADMX, ADML). The policy settings apply to both Windows Installer-based (MSI) and Click-to-Run version of Office 2013.
Download link for the Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADMX, ADML):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554
Here is the reference you'll need:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
