Ppp radius problem

Hi guys my problem is about Radius.It can not assign ip to remote host.This host request ppp and it terminated by on our Cisco router(LAC-LNS).And Cisco router uses AAA for authentication and ip assignment.Authentication part is okey.The host can connect radius and passes username password phase.But when the ppp protocol pass next ipcp level, host request;confreq is above,
Primary DNS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
Primary WINS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
Secondary WINS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
IP address: 0.0.0.0
But the Router returns reject;confrej
Primary DNS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
Primary WINS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
Secondary WINS server IP address: 0.0.0.0
IP address: 0.0.0.0
After this negotiation ppp ipcp part is terminated and the host never get ip address.
My question, Although the ppp authentication seems okey, why the remote host does not get ip address.Shoul I focus radius config. or Router config. ?
Thanks.

Hi Marco,
interface Virtual-Template1
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/0.12
no ip mroute-cache
no peer default ip address
ppp authentication pap
ppp ipcp predictive
I will paste here also debug files.
Best regards

  • Border Radius Problem

    I'm having trouble getting a border radius to work as I want. Please keep in mind my pages are works in progress. The corner radii of the footer div do not fill correctly when I apply a 1px border around the container div. There's a tiny bit of page background color that bleeds through at the lower rounded corners. Look here:
    http://www.kiefferfurniture.com/testcss.html
    If I remove the border from the container div and add it to the footer div, then it does render correctly. Look here:
    http://www.kiefferfurniture.com/testcss2.html
    Applying the border to both causes the border to appear as 2px wide where the divs overlap, and that is no good. How do I get a 1px border around everything so it looks and renders correctly?

    I'm not seeing a problem in FF12.  But older browsers need proprietary code. Note the syntax difference for  Mozilla (whacky).
    Also, older IE doesn't support border-radius.
    #footer  {
    background-color: #66A7C5;
    margin-top: 0px;
    border: 5px solid #284B4D; /**increased border width**/
    -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
    -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
    -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
    -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;

  • Ppp multilink problem

    Hi
    I am having a problem configuring ip rtp with interleaving on two 1721's prioritizing voice traffic between two ip voice devices over a 128k point to point link. This is my config...

    Everytime I add the 'ppp multilink' to the serial, I get the virtual-access interface bouncing up and down with no traffic flowing.
    any ideas?

    Cannnnnnnnt see much wrong, try adding "ppp multilink group 1" to int S0 config.

  • WLC 7.6.120.0 Radius problems with FreeRadius server

    Hi there
    we have 3 WLC 5508 with version 7.6.120.0 and 2 FreeRadius servers. In the WLC log we see a lot of "radius auth-server unavailable" messages and some users can not authenticate against our dot1x (PEAP).
    The problems occur most of the time, when there are a lot of WLAN clients trying to connect to the SSID at the same time.
    Does anybody have the same problems or are there any known bug for this phenomena?
    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Anna

    Hi Anna
    your problems seems to be this bug here: https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuo96366
    Symptom:
    Clients are not able to Authenticate at Peak loads when using FreeRadius.
    Conditions:
    Using Freed radius (most susceptible), we observe at high auth rate and if Radius server is not responding to all Radius packets in seq order or if the server is slow, WLC when wraps around 0-255 Radius ID's, it does not do a check when posting new packet.
    So essentially you have 2 packets with same ID being presented to AAA server.
    Workaround:
    Recover's when load is reduced.
    Further Problem Description:
    So far, issue has not been brought to notice while using ISE/ACS/NPS.
    There are two possible solutions I see:
    1. Downgrade to an earlier WLC version <7.6 (e.g. 7.4.121.0)
    2. Try to have another radius server in between (radius proxy, e.g. Cisco ACS or Microsoft NPS)
    Best regards

  • 802.1x with ACS 4.2 (RADIUS) problem

    HI all!
    I am trying to configure AAA authentication and authorization with Cisco 3725 (IOS 12.4(17)) for 802.1x and ACS 4.2 with VLAN assignment to my Windows XP client. (trying to assign VLAN 100 in my scenario).
    When user connects to the Router, it passes the authentication process (EAP-MD5). In my debug i see that Router recieves the Radius Attributes BUT does not apply anything!

    I've tried multiple ways to cope with this problem but nothing was helpfull...
    Tunnel-Medium-Type  [65]  6   01:ALL_802
    I use only ACS Radius attributes and chose ony what ACS allows me to choose (Tunnel-medium-type: 802).
    Screenshot n attachment.
    The same situation occurs when i try to use some Vendor Specific Attributes (Cisco-AV-Pair)  - downloadable ACEs to my user, and again, i see Radius attributes in my debug but nothing is applied to my L3 Switch.
    What am i missing?

  • Brush's radius problem Please help!

    Hello everyone.
    I am about to edit a photo which is RGB 8bit and I am expanding the background and putting few body figure toghetehr but I just noticed that when I use my brush in low opacity it leaves the brush's radius and I can see them in the art. see the below
    It makes me so confuse and I need you suggestion how can I fix this problem.
    I am using CS6 photoshop and working in PSD and save them in PSD as well. the wired thing is when I save the image in JPG and use the brush it deosnt leave that much of weird spots.  Do I need to change the Color mod? Brush? Please help this thing gets more annoying when I save it in PDF.
    Thanks!!

    You just picked a bad day to be testing it, though it's better that you did...  What day is Saturday numerically?  What is that +1.
    You should be able to just change your logic to check what today is (0 thru 6) and then if today is Saturday (6)... you assign Sunday as the answer in your switch...
    var weekDay=currentDate.getDay();
    switch (weekDay){
    case(0):weekDay_string="Monday"; break;
    case(1):weekDay_string="Tuesday"; break;
    case(2):weekDay_string="Wednesday"; break;
    case(3):weekDay_string="Thursday "; break;
    case(4):weekDay_string="Friday"; break;
    case(5):weekDay_string="Saturday "; break;
    case(6):weekDay_string="Sunday"; break;}

  • Radius problems/ichain

    we have Nw6.5 SP2 with radius files from ichain 2.3 CD(overwrite all)
    with the nmas patch
    nmas V2.6.8
    radius v4.15
    problems:
    1.were getting radius client unknown (radius nlm does load but wont
    unload, just hangs)
    2. i can only get nwadmin to save the client details in the DAS object
    C1 just wont save it- ive tried V136c,136,135 and the server version
    which errors with
    "waiting for reading vendor list from attribute file" however the
    radius.atr file does exist
    3. not sure if this is relevant here but vasco token wont assign to a user
    errors with "unable to write configuration data"
    thanks for help

    well for no reason at all it started working with C1 locally 2 days later !
    weird
    Also if I assign a DAS object to a container and all users underneath are
    told to inherit the DAS from the container settings
    then I wont have to configure each user object ? This doesnt sem to inherit
    for some reason.
    Is the Radus.nlm form the ichain 2.3 auth CD good enough for a NW6.5 SP2
    server or is
    there an update
    Thanks?

  • Router Radius Problem

    I am having a problem with setting up a 2600 router to use our radius server. I have a switch working on the same radius server however the router will not work. I am able to login locally, however it doesn't ever authenticate with the radius server. Please let me know how to fix this problem, thank you for your help.
    aaa new-model
    aaa authentication login admin group radius local
    aaa authorization exec both local
    aaa session-id common
    radius-server host 10.0.x.xx auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key *****
    line vty 0 4
    password 7 *******
    login authentication admin
    transport input telnet

    Peter
    There are several ways to approach this problem. I would suggest first checking to see if the server is seeing the authentication request. Can you look in the logs of the server and determine whether the authentication request is received? If it is received is it authenticated successfully or is it denied?
    There are several common problems which may produce symptoms similar to what you describe. - there is a possibility that the router is not configured with the correct address for the server.
    - there is a possibility that something along the way (and access list or a firewall) is not permitting the packet to get to the server.
    - there is a possibility that the server sees the request but that the source ip address of the request is not the source address that the server expects.
    - there is a possibility that the server sees the request but that there is a mismatch in the key value which is shared by the server and the router.
    so please check on the things that I have asked. If they do not produce the solution we will figure some way to troubleshoot this.

  • RV220W - VPN PPP & RDP problem

    Hello!
    This is my first post here, so welcome!
    I have purchased RV220W router and implemented into the existing netowork. Everything seems to work fine except logging into rdp desktops of wxp's on the local network in the office.
    I'm not using router's VPN capabilities. I have made a connection through one of the WXP's VPN locally in the office. I login with password as PPP connection. Everything works fine, but I can only connect through RDP to the machine that is making the connection by "VPN IP". I cannot login to any IP that is local in the office. I can not ping either.
    We are using also Macs and the same problem is when connecting with ScreenSharing and pinging.
    It is definitely something to be set on the router.
    If you have any idea, I would apprecite your help!

    Hi again!
    After reading similar post I found a "solution".
    I have manually put actual RV220W IP as router ip (except of the ip of the XP that is making the vpn connection) on the computer I'm connected to VPN and now it's working fine.
    Anyway, thanks for approving this thread.
    Cheers,
    Adam

  • Wpa peap radius problem

    Hi,
    i try to setup wpa with peap user auth with a 1130 AP and cisco secure acs 4.2 server.
    auth keeps failing and I even don't see failes attempts in my acs server. The AP is in the AAA section of the ACS and the have the same shared secret.
    The ACS server is working corectly because I use it the authenticate users to log in the the routers
    I enabled all possible authentication methods but no luck.
    I use the windows xp suplicant and even tried with funk software.
    in the dot11 authenticator debug i can't see any radius lines see attached file
    can anybody help me out ?

    Is this Aironet or LWAPP?
    In aironet, there is a way to test authentication via the access points..."test aaa radius " or something like that...sorry I forget since I converted to LWAPP..
    Also, make sure the DB (LDAP/AD,etc..) is configured and mapped correctly in ACS but you should see something like "NAS errors" or DB errors in ACS if the access points were somewhat communicating with ACS..
    Post the configs if you can...

    Hi,
    I have not an solution but rather a similar problem with that kind of hardware (881GW with PCEX-3G-HSPA). I have a working config for only *one* successful 3G dial-in: after losing the established 3G connection (e.g. forcing a "clear int dial 1"), the router can not re-establish the 3G connection until I reboot the device. It seems that the communication between IOS and the modem is some kind of damaged:

  • Cisco AAA authentication with windows radius server

    Cisco - Windows Radius problems
    I need to created a limited access group through radius that I can have new network analysts log into
    and not be able to commit changes or get into global config.
    Here are my current radius settings
    aaa new-model
    aaa group server radius IAS
     server name something.corp
    aaa authentication login USERS local group IAS
    aaa authorization exec USERS local group IAS
    radius server something.corp
     address ipv4 1.1.1.1 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
     key mypassword
    line vty 0 4
     access-class 1 in
     exec-timeout 0 0
     authorization exec USERS
     logging synchronous
     login authentication USERS
     transport input ssh
    When I log in to the switch, the radius server is passing the corrrect attriubute
    ***Jan 21 13:59:51.897: RADIUS:   Cisco AVpair       [1]   18  "shell:priv-lvl=7"
    The switch is accepting it and putting you in the correct priv level.
    ***Radius-Test#sh priv
       Current privilege level is 7
    I am not sure why it logs you in with the prompt for  privileged EXEC mode when
    you are in priv level 7. This shows that even though it looks like your in priv exec
    mode, you are not.
    ***Radius-Test#sh run
                    ^
       % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
       Radius-Test#
    Now this is where I am very lost.
    I am in priv level 7, but as soon as I use the enable command It moves me up to 15, and that gives me access to
    global config mode.
    ***Radius-Test#enable
       Radius-Test#
    Debug log -
    Jan 21 14:06:28.689: AAA/MEMORY: free_user (0x2B46E268) user='reynni10'
    ruser='NULL' port='tty390' rem_addr='10.100.158.83' authen_type=ASCII service=ENABLE priv=15 vrf= (id=0)
    Now it doesnt matter that I was given priv level 7 by radius because 'enable' put me into priv 15
    ***Radius-Test#sh priv
       Current privilege level is 15
       Radius-Test#
    I have tried to set
    ***privilege exec level 15 enable
    It works and I am no longer able to use 'enable' when I am at prv level 7, but I also cannot get the commands they will need to work.
    Even if I try to do
    ***privilege exec level 7 show running-config (or other variations)
    It will allow you to type sh run without errors, but it doest actually run the command.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I also want to get PKI working with radius.

    I can run a test on my radius system, will report back accordingly, as it's a different server than where I am currently located.
    Troubleshooting, have you deleted the certificate/network profile on the devices and started from scratch?

  • Pin radius vicinity issues

    Hi,
    This problem below got caught up on another thread with a different problem, thought best to start a new thread for it.
    My particular problem here comes from user manipulation via Manage Your Places of the radius of pins. It is slow, it is jerky and it is buggy and what it did some weeks back was jump on one particular pin and expand it to cover the entire world which basically overwrote every other location I had set. Why it would overwrite these without the user changing the settings for said pictures themselves is absolute stupidity, but I digress.
    Rebuilding libraries etc. is not going to retract the radius of that circle I am assuming and restore all of the original locations I had. Anyway, I took a deep breath and decided to approach places a little differently and have a lot less specific places. Before I might have had 15 photo locations for a town, now the pics will come under just the town name.
    So I have been going through renaming one of the fifteen pins (just from this one town as an example) as the town name, expanding it to cover the area the 15 covered then I delete off the other 14 as places. Time consuming and laborious but I see an eventual sensible outcome from it and in theory quicker to rename all my lost places.
    The problem is that the radius issue keeps happening, half a dozen times in the past 3 or 4 days alone and this meant that roughly 2500 pics I had relabelled were once again overwritten with the location of the pin with the expanded radius. And I'm back to square one.
    So is there any workaround for this particular Places problem?
    Thanks,
    C.

    @Craig,
    I am not sure to what extent less specific places "solves" the problem, which seems to be the radius that a pin receives when placed on the map for the first time.  It seems to be a value determined by Google, is not displayed in the teeny-weeny Assign a Place... dialog, and cannot be modified until it has or has not overlapped other custom places.  So, while the probability of overlap might be somewhat reduced by less specific places, the inconvenience it causes is increased.  I have noticed that Google defines a region named "Aletschgletscher" or "Jungfrau Aletsch" (working from memory here), which has a rather large radius due to the very irregular shape of the glacier, and that pins defined for towns in the Obergoms region, e.g., Blitzingen, Niederwald, Oberwald, Ulrichen, etc., often assumed the very large radius of the Aletsch Glacier.  Besides, I'm wondering why on earth I should have to modify my use of this feature to accommodate Apple's stupid implementation of it.  Nobody in Apple should even consider making the argument that this is how it should work.  The legions of problems it causes is well documented in these forums, although, as we all know, Apple "isn't monitoring" them and hence, presumably, is quite unaware of them.  And iPhoto 09 implemented Places completely differently -- the interface didn't have the eye-candy and "just magical" appeal of the present one, but it didn't cause the problems we're experiencing with Places in iPhoto 11.
    My "solution" to the pin radius problem is:
    Enter a character string in "Assign a Place..." and see what iPhoto suggests.
    If you are tempted to select a suggestion that is a custom place of yours, do so only if you don't intend to modify its location or name.  Doing so will have the same effect as modifying it in Manage My Places!
    If you select a place suggested by Google, try to locate it sufficiently far away from other custom places (iPhoto no help here), and give it a name that you can easily recognize and distinguish from Google's suggestions in the future (cf. warning above).
    Go directly to Manage My Places, find the new place, judge which existing places it overlaps, and note them down somewhere for the next step.  Then reduce its radius and adjust its location.
    Go into the Places view and select the new place.  In all probability there will be photos at that place that don't belong there.  Assign them to the correct place from the list you made in the step above.
    Weep and gnash teeth as necessary.  Regularly chant:  "On a Mac it just works!"  Keep stiff upper lip and imagine how much clumsier this must be in Windows.
    Regards,
    Richard
