Problem 2950 arp address not mapped to a destination port

I have a problem loosing connectivity to some switch connected directly to my 2950.
I have the mac address in the arp table but when not working the mac-address is not linked to any port in the show mac-address table.
Please help

I think this could be simply a question of aging. The ARP tables are aged out after 4 hours. By contrast, the entries in the MAC forwarding tables are aged out after 5 minutes. All it means is that the host has not sent any frames to or through this particular switch in the last 5 minutes.
There can be other explanations, but they are rare. For example, if your host is actually a service address in a WLBS cluster configured in unicast mode, then the host will source its frames from a different address from the address it gives in response to an ARP request.
Another is if you have port security configured with a timeout shorter than your ARP table. You may have reached the maximum permitted MAC addresses. That would also account for your intermittent connectivity.
But, as I said, these are very particular cases.

DG Observer triggering SIGSEGV Address not mapped to object errors in alert log

Hi,
I've got a Data Guard configuration using two 11.2.0.3 single instance databases. The configuration has been configured for automatic failover and I have an observer running on a separate box.
This fast-start failover configuration has been in place for about a month and in the last week, numerous SEGSEGV (address not mapped to object) errors are reported in the alert log. This is happening quite frequently (every 4/5 minutes or so).
The corresponding trace files show the process triggering the error coming from the observer.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm at my wits end trying to figure out how to fix the configuration to eliminate this error.
I must also note that even though this error is occurring a lot, it doesn't seem to be affecting any of the database functionality.
Help?
Thanks in advance.
Beth

Hi..   The following is the alert log message, the traced file generated, and the current values of the data guard configuration. In addition, as part of my research, I attempted to apply patch 12615660 which did not take care of the issue. I also set the inbound_connection_timeout parameter to 0 and that didn't help either. I'm still researching but any pointer in the right direction is very much appreciated.

Exception [type: SIGSEGV, Address not mapped to object]

Hi,
I'm working on an Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production With the Real Application Clusters option.
I'm trying to execute the below:
      SELECT /*+ CURSOR_SHARING_EXACT */
             vc.id_vehicle, gr.geoRouteId, g.name, round(g.length) length_, gr.active,
             g.id_user id_user_georoute_owner, gr.grBindUserId id_user_bind_owner,
             (SELECT count(*) FROM dual WHERE XMLEXISTS('$XML_ALM/user/alarmwhen[@direction="out"]' passing gr.geoRouteUser AS "XML_ALM") = 1) alm_out
        FROM configurator.t_vehicle_configuration vc, dispatch.v_georoute g,
             xmltable('$XML/vehicleconf/GeoRoute/geoRoute[@active="1"]'
               passing vc.x_configuration AS "XML"
               columns geoRouteId   number path '@id',
                       active       number path '@active',
                       grBindUserId number path '@id_user',
                       geoRouteUser xmltype path 'user'
             ) gr
       WHERE vc.id_vehicle = 453
         AND g.id_georoute = gr.geoRouteId;but after few seconds I got the error in the object.
The alert log says:

The strange stuff is that if I remove the
(SELECT count(*) FROM dual WHERE XMLEXISTS('$XML_ALM/user/alarmwhen[@direction="out"]' passing gr.geoRouteUser AS "XML_ALM") = 1) alm_out
from the query, there is no problem.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Samuel

The strange stuff is that if I remove the
(SELECT count(*) FROM dual WHERE XMLEXISTS('$XML_ALM/user/alarmwhen[@direction="out"]' passing gr.geoRouteUser AS "XML_ALM") = 1) alm_out
from the query, there is no problem.That's probably because you're not using XMLExists correctly.
The function returns a boolean value so you don't need to test for 1 or 0 as we had to with existsNode function before :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb04cre.htm#sthref360
It's also probably better to use a CASE expression instead of a subquery :
SELECT /*+ CURSOR_SHARING_EXACT */
       vc.id_vehicle
     , gr.geoRouteId
     , g.name
     , round(g.length) length_
     , gr.active
     , g.id_user id_user_georoute_owner
     , gr.grBindUserId id_user_bind_owner
     , case when XMLExists('$XML_ALM/user/alarmwhen[@direction="out"]' passing gr.geoRouteUser AS "XML_ALM")
            then 1
            else 0
       end as alm_out
FROM configurator.t_vehicle_configuration vc
   , dispatch.v_georoute g
   , xmltable('$XML/vehicleconf/GeoRoute/geoRoute[@active="1"]'
               passing vc.x_configuration AS "XML"
               columns geoRouteId   number path '@id',
                       active       number path '@active',
                       grBindUserId number path '@id_user',
                       geoRouteUser xmltype path 'user'
     ) gr
WHERE vc.id_vehicle = 453
AND g.id_georoute = gr.geoRouteId
;Even better, you can test the condition directly in the COLUMNS clause with fn:exists XPath function.
For example, something like this :
SQL> with sample_data as (
2    select xmltype('<root>
3 <row><item>1</item><other id="a"/><other id="x"/></row>
4 <row><item>2</item><other id="b"/></row>
5 <row><item>3</item><other id="b"/></row>
6 </root>') doc
7    from dual
8 )
9 select x.*
10 from sample_data t
11     , xmltable(
12         '/root/row'
13         passing t.doc
14         columns item number path 'item',
15                 flag number path 'exists(other[@id="x"])'
16       ) x
17 ;
      ITEM       FLAG
         1          1

From where I sit you have only two alternatives.
1) live it what you have now.
2) pay for a support license & upgrade to supported OS & patched Oracle version
Nobody here can provide any remedy for what ails this combination.

Address not mapped to object

It comes from alert.log:
Errors in file /opt/oracle/OraHome1/admin//bdump/owps_s001_29137.trc:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ioc_kprbrct()+72] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x4] [] []
We use OSE to generate HTML pages.
Why is the database dumped sometimes ?

It's an OS error. The core dump or trace file will contain information telling you want it was doing and what went wrong. Quite often they map to bugs.
Normally these things require Oracle support to diagnose although sometimes we can figure it out for ourselves.

ORA-07445 : address not mapped to object

Using a ODBC connection to database server to retrieve database
schema information. Basically running queries against sys.all
type tables.
Rec'd ORA-07445: exception encountered : core dump [Kxspoac( ) +
6969] [SIGSERGV] [Address not mapped to object] [1]
Is this a user object lock out issue or just a ODBC and client
configuration or a serious system issue?
any input would be appreciated.

I know the documentation is not as good as it could be but you can still see that your code doesn't look like the example given. Specifically, java is case sensitive, so it should be "write" not "WRITE" and the unix wildcard is * not -.

Specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address

I have defined my site using ftp in the Dreamweaver site definitions and I can connect to it and upload changes with no problem. I am now trying to setup InContext editing capability to the site. When I go thru the steps to add a site in the InContext Admin section, the first steps in the process work fine. I am able to fill out the ftp settings with my username and password and when I test the settings it comes back that it is able to connect to the site. The next step is where I run into problems. When I try to add the assets I get an error that says "The Specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address". I can use the same username and password with an ftp Client program and I have complete access to the root folder and all the files in it. I have used exactly the same Host DIrectory in both my Dreamweaver Remote Setup and in InContext Admin. Why does it work with Dreamweaver uploads and it can not be used to register in InContext?
My site is www.sonautosales.com and my root folder is defined as /www.sonautosales.com/
I have included a screenshot of the error message.

Hi Corey:
I just went thru the entire thread trying all the suggestions but
still no luck. The closest I come to getting this registered is using
the following settings.
ftp host:               ftp.prioritysalesandservice.com
Passive ftp:          unchecked
Username:          prioritysales
Password:          ****          (I do not mind sending you the password if it will
help you solve my problem)
This tests good all the time.
Host Directory:     /www.prioritysalesandservice.com/          (This is the folder
name that contains my website and in it is the index.html page)
Image Directory:     Images/                                        (the folder name inside the host
directory that contains my images)
Default Page:     Default.htm Default.asp index.html index.htm index.php
index.cfm
I think the host directory I am using because when I put that in and
then use the browse button to find the Image directory it shows all
the files and folders in my Host directory
The website address is:     www.prioritysalesandservice.com
Please let me know anything else you need, again I have tried all the
things mentioned in the thread and by using these settings I get the
following error when I save:
The specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address (URL)
THe "/www.prioritysalesandservice.com/" host directory could not be
accessed through this Site Address (URL):
"http://www.prioritysalesandservice.com/"
Thanks for you help, hope you can figure it out.

PDF addresses not longer load and display PDF in Firefox and solutions suggest to other users with problem DON'T WORK (work fine in Chrome and Safari)

This is an ongoing problem with other users. When putting a PDF in address window of Firefox and clicking go to address FIREFOX WILL NOT LOAD AND DISPLAY THE PDF. This problem has come up in questions from other users on your site. NONE OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS WORK! (trying either the Firefox PDF viewer or the Acrobat viewer as default viewer)
I am using Firefox 23.0.1 (as some of the other users with the same problem). This was not a problem in the past with Firefox. Safari and Chrome continue load and display PDFs just fine from their addresses. This is a big problem as I now have to inform people who want to view my PDFs NOT TO USE FIREFOX BUT TO USE SAFARI OR CHROME.

It appears that a link to a PDF on an internet page will not download in Firefox either!
I went to this page:
http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/earth_art_detail.html#.UjYEzrwsU08
and tried to download the PDF link at the bottom of the page (Download: PDF 11.3 MB) It didn't work! Nothing happens. Tried it in Safari and it worked flawlessly.
I have a PDF file of my work in the public_html folder on my URL. I give the address generated by that file to people who want to view my work---this works perfectly in Safari and Chrome. As to your other question, can't bookmark it if I can't get to it in Firefox.

A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail. When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name.

A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail. When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name. I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name. I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book. I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag. Still the problem persists. Any suggestions?

Contacts address not showing on pad

When I add the following address (not mine) :
5 Disa Hill Close
Knysna
WC
South Africa
and click on it, the map app launches, but dpit finds the wrong address ...it gives 2 suggestions, but they are both incorrect.
If I click cancel, and immediately click 'search' on the search bar, the address is found every time.
I trust this is enough information for you to replicate my problem and to assist in the solving it.
Many thank,

thanks, you solved myproblem. i looked in utilities and there it was. what a strange place to put it

Why can't Siri locate contact addresses for map directions?

Having an issue with iphone 4s using Siri for locating addresses saved within contacts for map directions.
The problem is only evident on about half of the contacts so far.. the message i get is 'I couldn't find an address for .." even though the contact I asked for clearly has their address saved. I've doubled checked I've used the right address fields and seem fine.
I'm unable to distinguine the problem between the contacts where Siri works as it should and locate the address, and the ones it can't - including my home address.
Very frustating when I want directions in the car for driving and using hands free.
Any ideas guys?!

It seems to be a bug in the software. Other people have said it may have so something to do with siri not understanding UK postcodes properly. I don't really know but I seem to have found a solution, although cumbersome.
-Load up your contact from phonebook app
-Tap the address (apple maps should go straight to it)
-Double tap home and switch back to phonebook app
-Delete the address
-Diuble tap back into maps (the pin point should still be there)
-Press the little blue arrow on the pin
-Add to contacts > Existing contact
-Select contact
(Now this is the important bit)
-Tap edit then tap the right hand column off the address section in order to set it as home, work, etc.
-Done
Phew!!
It's long winded I know, but now I can just tell siri to get directions to so and so's home safely while driving without fiddling around tapping buttons.
Sort it out Apple. It should 'Just Work' outside of the US too you know.

Home address not shown correctly

Hello all,
   I just got my first iPhone today, the iPhone 4s, very happy I am.
   I also have an iPad 2 both have a similar issue.
   In my contact card I have my home address as
84 Beaconhurst Drive
Beacon Bay
East London
5241
South Africa
When I search for this address in maps, the maps more or less finds my address, albeit about 2 km out. However when I click the address on my address card it just slaps a pin in the middle of East London, and does the same for my work address, and any other address I have tried.
When I add a point to a map and try add that to my contact, all that comes up is Eastern Cape, East London.
This leaves me with two problems
1   When I Ask siri what is the weather for tomorrow, I am told, there is no weather for eastern cape, south Africa, despite the fact that the weather app is picking up my location.
2. When I tell Siri, remind me to xxx when I arrive at home, I am told Siri does not know where my home is.
Please help me ASAP, cause that feature is something I have been looking forward to, since I saw the ads.
Thanx

the problem isn't your iPhone - apple uses google maps to determine your location and secondly Siri location based services doesn't play 100% nicely in SA yet - it does work - mine does in Cape Town - weather, location based reminders etc.
try adding your location/s manually to your iPhone by using Maps and then using your address book to add those locations and then try the location based reminders again - might work.
