Power to Hub & router

Hi,
Does anyone know if the HH and Router can be connected to an extension lead when the engineers calls. I do have a double socket close to the master socket but one is used for the answerphone and one is already being used by the old Hub.
I could do with moving the master socket to a location closer to my PC but again are short on sockets.
Need to get sorted out before installation day.
Many Thanks
Graham
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Back to the original question.
A good solution in many cases is to keep the modem near the current master socket, and to run an ethernet cable to a hub/router somewhere else. You may suffer a loss in speed if they add a data extension to place the modem elsewhere (probably not severe), but you won't suffer a loss in speed from a long ethernet modem to router.
Not sure it will suit you. You would need to provide and lay the ethernet cable.

Setup VPN on Mac Mini Server running OSX through a BT Hub Router

Hello everyone,
I know this question has been posted several times and I have looked at the suggested solutions, trying each of them. I think this is really down to my lack of knowledge hence hoping someone out there could point me to the right direction for more resources / information, please.
I am trying to setup a Mac Mini Server with VPN access. My server sits behind a BT Hub router. These are the steps that I have been through:
1. I am using the server app and after registering a free account with no-ip, I got myself a host name <myname>.ddns.net.
2. Then I setup the server using a domain name
3. I configured the DNS by first setting up a primary zone - zone: ddns.net. Then added machine record host name: <myname> pointing to my server which I have configured my router to assign a static ip address to it at 192.168.x.x
4. Then, I configured the VPN setting up for L2TP and PPTP, setup the shared secret, change the ip address range to match that of the DHCP range on my router. My router by default has a DHCP range between 64 - 253.
5. Then, I also configured my router to port forward 500, 1701, 1723, and 4500 to my server at 192.168.x.x (I selected both TCP and UDP).
6. Finally, setup a user account with account name test and password abcd12345
7. Gone on my "client" machine which is basically my Samsung S4 handphone, selected VPN -> PPTP -> server address: <myname>.ddns.net -> entered account name test and password abcd12345.
This didn't work.
Then, I read some post about manually configure DHCP on the server app. Went on the server app, turned on DHCP and setup a network named TestDHCP. Assigned ip address range between that of the default DHCP range on my BT Hub router.
This does not work either.
Could someone please kindly help me with it? I am completely lost.
Thank you in advance.

To run a public VPN server behind an NAT gateway, you need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network, and a hostname that is not in the top-level domain "local" (which is reserved for Bonjour.)
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
If your router is an Apple device, select the Network tab in AirPort Utility and click Network Options. In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
Allow incoming IPSec authentication
if it's not already checked, and save the change.
With a third-party router, there may be a similar setting.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.
5. Each client must have an address on a netblock that doesn't overlap the one assigned by the VPN endpoint. For example, if the endpoint assigns addresses in the 10.0.0.0/24 range, and the client has an address on a local network in the 10.0.1.0/24 range, that's OK, but if the local network is 10.0.1.0/16, there will be a conflict. To lessen the chance of such conflicts, it's best to assign addresses in a random sub-block of 10.0.0.0./0 with a 24-bit netmask.
6. "Back to My Mac" is incompatible with the VPN service. It must be disabled both on the server and on an AirPort router, if applicable.
If the server is directly connected to the Internet, see this blog post.

DMVPN Configuration with ASA 5510 In Front of Cisco 877-K9 HUB Router

Hi Guys,
I'm in a mess, I have Cisco 877-K9 router which sits behind an ASA 5510 FW.
The Design :
Cisco 877-K9 DSL router (DSL with Static IP) ( DMVPN HUB )
||
ASA 5510 Firewall (Outside INT with Static IP / Inside INT LAN) (PAT & ACL)
||
Switch
||
LAN
Now my problem is, My Dmvpn configuration works just fine, I'm able to ping from my Cisco 877 to any Spoke & vise versa.
I'm also able to Ping from my LAN to any Spoke Tunnel IP, but Im not able to ping any LAN IP at Spoke site nor am I able to ping my LAN from any Spoke site.
I've googled alot but have come at designs where the ASA's are behind the Cisco Routers and not infront.
Any help in this regards is highly appreciated. I really need this to work. Attached are the config files....
Thanks,
Aj.

Thanks to both of you guys for replying. I should've been more descriptive in my initial post, but just thought of getting more ideas.
All the troubleshooting was done before posting the problem, and to clearify the things, Please find below the results.
1) what RProtocol r u using?
a) It's OSPF
2) if ur using OSPF, try show ip route on the hub and spoke to verify the hub/spoke routes are learned via OSPF
a) I did the "show ip route" and bothe the HUB and Spokes get their routes defined
(on the HUB if I used "network 192.9.201.0 255.255.255.0 area 0" I coudln't get routes advertised on spokes)
(I changed to "redistribute static subnests" and I was able to get Hub routes advertised")
3) are your tunnels config correctly? try show crypto ipsec sa
a) They are as they should be and "show crypto ipsec sa" comes up with proper in/out encrypted data
4) on your hub'spoke do a debug ip icmp
a) Did that as well, and If I do a debug on a Spoke and ping from my HUB to that spoke on the tunnel IP, I get proper src/dest results, but If I ping from HUB to Spoke on a client IP behind the Spoke, It pings but does not show any result on the Spoke debug.
I'm able to ping all the Spoke's Tunnel IPs and clients behind the Spokes from the HUB router, but not from either the ASA nor the clients on my LAN.
Additional to the info above, Please also note :
I did notice something that, from my HUB router, which is also my DSL Modem, I'm unable to ping any clients behind the ASA.
So I guess I'm stuck on the point that My Cisco HUB is unable to talk to my LAN, If I can get the HUB to talk to the internal LAN, I would be able to ping clients on LAN from any Spoke or clients behind Spokes.
From HUB router I'm able to ping clients behind Spokes.
Does that give any Ideas ?
Thanks in Advance.
Aj.

DMVPN HUB router behind NAT

we are getting new sip trunks put in and in order for the provider to put them in the Providor put in a router to control all web traffic so they can QOS the voice that means our VPN routers will go behind the nat barrier. but when i switched the routers interface to the natted address the DMVPN tunnels would not build. there is a nat translation to the routers so the external(route-able) IP did not change. the IPsec tunnels did come up just fine. just the few DMVPN connected tunnels did not.
if issue a "sh DMVPN" the Peer NBMA Addr shows up as 0.0.0.0 while the Peer Tunnel addr is what it should be, also the attrb is "X"
Tunnel source i have set to the interface, and the key is set to "crypto isakmp key "my key" address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 no-xauth"
i am at a loss on why this was not working. keep in mind this is the HUB router and not the Spoke.

Power consumption for router and switch

I have a linksys EZSX88W switch which I checked power consumption of 70ma idle. It's supplied by the adapter which has an output of 1000ma. Not sure what the consumption when switch is being used. I also have an WRT54GS but haven't checked consumption yet, but it's powered by the same 1000ma adapter. In an effort to save energy-that -GREEN FEELING- I was thinking of using on power adapter to power bothe the router and switch. Has anyone tried this yet?? Also if I posted this in the wrong area I hope the moderator will move the post.
thanks

So you are thinking of Powering on both the Devices using a single Power Adapter? Well never tried to make both the devices use a single power adapter. As far as i think its not possible. But if you still wish, you can give a try and check if that works for you or not.

DMVPN Hub Router QoS

Hello DMVPN Experts,
As we knew DMVPN Hub routers can have per-tunnel QoS configuration for the spokes.
But I am not sure the QoS configuration for the Hub site itself. I assume it should be seperated from the per-tunnel QoS and the service-policy should be applied at the physical WAN interfaces and tunnel interfaces? Need help please. Some sample configuration would be appreciated.
Thanks
Cedar

Hi Joseph,
I am afraid I am having a bit difficulty to understand and would like to hear more if you don't mind.
We are on the same page that Per-Tunnel QoS let the spokes to control the traffics toward the hub site, which is considered inbound traffic from the WAN/Tunnel interfaces of hub router point of view. However, in order to control the inbound and/or outbound traffic of the WAN/Tunnel interfaces of the hub router, how should we configure seperate QoS configuration other than Per-Tunnel QoS templates, if we should?
Here is what I know so far based on ASR1000 document.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_conn_dmvpn/configuration/xe-3s/asr1000/sec-conn-dmvpn-xe-3s-asr1000-book/sec-conn-dmvpn-per-tunnel-qos.html
Restrictions for Per-Tunnel QoS for DMVPN
• The class default shaper with the QoS service policy on a physical interface that is applied to the DMVPN tunnel does not support point-to-point generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, shaper on physical interfaces, and shaper on VLAN/subinterfaces.
• QoS on a physical interface is limited only to the class default shaper on the physical interface. No other QoS configurations on the physical interface are supported when two separate QoS policies are applied to the physical and tunnel interfaces.
• Addition of a QoS policy with a class default shaper on a physical interface is not supported when multiple QoS policies are utilized.
• You can attach a per-tunnel QoS policy on the tunnel only in the egress direction.
• The class default shaper policy map on the main interface must be applied before the tunnel policy map is applied.
• The class default shaper policy map must contain only the class class-default and shape commands.
• The main interface policy map is checked for validity only when a QoS service policy is applied on the tunnel interface. The main interface policy map is not checked during a tunnel move or modification.
• Adding new classes or features to the main interface policy map is not supported. Doing so, however, will not be blocked.
After reading the above document, my understanding is that
1. We could have seperate policy map for physical WAN interface.
2. The policy-map for the physical WAN interface is limited to a class default shaper only.
3. The policy-map for physical WAN interface must be applied at the physical WAN interface before the tunnel policy-maps are applied at the tunnel interface.
But I am not 100% sure if it's correct.
Thanks,
Cedar

Virtual Tunnel Interface (VTI) Hub Router Configuration

When configuring multiple VTI tunnels on a hub router, is it recommended that each tunnnel use a unique transform-set and ipsec profile, or they can all share the same configuration.
Example:
crypto isakmp policy 1
encr 3des
authentication pre-share
group 2
crypto isakmp key ******** address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
crypto isakmp keepalive 10
crypto ipsec transform-set TSET esp-3des esp-sha-hmac
crypto ipsec profile VTI
set transform-set TSET
Thanks.-

Hi,
The IPsec profile can be shared.
You could also create multiple transform set and reference it to IPsec profile and then apply it to a specific VTI.

Replacing the DMVPN hub router

We are replacing our current 2921 router, Version 15.2(4)M2, with a 3925 Version 15.2(4)M6. It is the DMVPN hub router for 6 spoke routers. We cut and pasted the configuration from the old router to the new. We confirmed internet connectivity from clients on the inside. But none of the DMVPN tunnels will set up. As we were in a very short maintenance window we did not have a lot of time to troubleshoot and had to revert to the old router. Is there some procedure we need to implement to force the tunnels to come up?

Because you are changing the Hardware and copy past the config. Spokes will not re register themselves at HUB until you reset them again. Then they will register themselves again in the NHRP table at the new HUB..

DMVPN Hub router with static NAT

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to setup a lab enviroment to stablish a DMVPN. I have two routers CISCO 2811, IOS version 12.4(3j). I need to configure those routers to stablish a DMVPN. For the spoke router, I have have an ISP that provides dynamic addressing. For the hub router, I have a public static IP address assignde by the ISP. But I have a Watchguard firewall in the middle doing static 1-to-1 NAT for that address. Now the questions are:
1) Can I stablish the DMVPN between the routers with that firewall in the middle?
2) In case it is possible, what will the physical hub address be? And is there something I need to change on the firewall configuration?
3) In case it isn't possible, what other options do I have to stablish a VPN tunnel between the routers in those conditions?
Is there is anything else you need to know to understand the situation, please ask. I haven't configure neither of the routers yet, because I think I need to be sure of these concepts first. Thanks for any help you could bring.

Power Outage and Router Notworking

Earlier today we had a poweroutage and now my router is not working. I tryed power cycleing and it still does not work. I also tryed power cycling and resetting the router which did not work. Currently the only way to get internet access is to plug directly into my cable modem.
The router is also display flashing lights on1 34 and Internet even with no cables plugged into the router.

What is the model and version of your router?
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Purchased "high power" USB hub, still doesn't charge.

I found a 4-port USB hub with two "high power" ports (Targus ACH80US), but my iPad still won't charge when attached (yes, to the high power port, yes it's plugged into the wall too).
Anyone have any ideas? I'm using an older G5 iMac, but it's going through the new "high power" USB hub.

Copied from this link.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. *When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.* Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Does your iPad not charge when the iPad is in sleep mode?

Power USB Hub - powers the Airport Base Station (802.11n)?

I have a powered USB hub hooked up to my new AE. If I pull the power plug for the AE, the unit remains partially powered via the USB port (my hub). It won't power down until I also remove the USB plug into the AE.
Anybody else seen this? Is this normal? Is this an AE problem? Is this a problem with my USB hub?

By partially powered I mean, when I unplug the AE, the light on the front remains on but flashing. Why would I unplug it? Because I want to reboot it because my cable modem dropped the connection and I could not get the connection back. I attempted to power down the cable modem and router but I left the printer, HD's, and the USB hub powered up.

USB Flash Drive & power using Hub

Interesting fact -- my iMac can accept my USB Flash Drive on the convenient keyboard hub without any problem. However, when I reboot using Boot Camp into Windows XP Pro -- It cannot! It says insufficient power & I must use one of the USB ports on the (less convenient) rear of the iMac. This isn’t a major issue for me since I mostly am using OS X & rarely use Windows & even less often need to use a USB Flash drive from Windows. However, I do need to unplug something else (the Apple Modem) on those rare occasions when I wish to plug in a USB Flash Drive while in Windows. BTW, I use SanDIsk Micro Cruzer with the U3 software --which doesn’t work with OS X -- deleted.
I would think the power requirements would be exactly the same -- being as the hardware (computer & flash drive) is identical whether I’m running OS X or XP Pro.
Strange.

Hi thomas,
If this is your own New Laptop to your Network, and even after you supplied the password, the problem is the Network Lock is still on. You need to disable the Network Lock. Enter the password, installed Network Magic if the Laptop is your own. You need to stop tracking your Laptop as an intruder on your other copies of Network Magic.
Then you need to reenable the Network Lock from your Wired Computer. Use your other computer to activated the copy of Network Magic installed on the laptop.
