SSH to network devices using "name" or "IP" - What is the industry norm?

Hi Everyone,
Looking for anyone to provide feedback on the "Industry Norm" for accessing network devices, by DNS Name or IP? If anyone has any opinions or information about this I would certainly appreciate the information. I use name, which I have been told "is not the industry norm" so obviously I would like some level of validation on comment.
Thanks!

I'd most definitely consider it the norm!
I’ve worked in both pure tech companies and in tech teams in the banking industry and we’ve always had some form of name resolution for our devices. Normally using internal DNS but worse case scenario is a hosts file on the NMS.
Trying to retain IP addresses for anything more than a handful of devices is just tiresome, especially if you are in a fault situation. I think most network teams out there with the support of some decent network management infrastructure or experience would consider it vital and take it for granted.
Having said that, I’m a little pedantic when it comes to name resolution and have forward and reverse resolution for almost every numbered interface in our (not insubstantial) network, it makes traceroutes all the more powerful.

AAA authentication for networking devices using ACS 4.1 SE

Hi!!!
I want to perform AAA authentication for networking devices using ACS 4.1 SE.
I do have Cisco 4500, 6500,2960, 3750, 3560, ASA, CSMARS, routers (2821) etc in my network. I want to have radius based authentication for the same.
I want telnet, ssh has,console attempt to be verified by radius server & if ACS goes down then it will be via local enable passwordf.
For all users i need to have different privilege levels based upon which access will be granted.
could u plz send me the config that is required to be done in the active devices as well as ACS!!!!

Pradeep,
Are you planning MAC authentication for some users while using EAP for others?
For MAC authentication, just use the following in your AP.
aaa authentication login mac_methods group radius
In your AP, select the radius server for mac authentication. You must have already defined your ACS as a radius server.
In your SSID configuration, under client authentication settings,
check "open authentication" and also select "MAC Authentication" from the drop-down list.
If you want both MAC or EAP, then select "MAC Authentication or EAP" from the dropdown.
Define the mac address as the username and password in ACS. Make sure the format of the mac is without any spaces.
You will not need to change anything in XP.
NOTE: XP normally does not require user authentication if machine has already authenticated but it might behave differently. If it does, I can let you know the registry settings to force the behaviour change.

I have 1Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both those devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in can I set up 'find device' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.

We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop getting my daughters texts, both sent and received?

When you use the same Apple ID on 3 devices it means you are all using the same (email, imessaging, calendar etc). Since iCloud (MobileMe) is designed to be shared across all devices included Macs, it means all devices setup with the same ID will have access to the information.
Text messaging is relevant only to the number you are texting. This is done through your telecom companys lines and not on Apples.
If you do not want to have others be able to read any of your information then it is best you each have your own account.

Depending on how long the site has been active, it may be
already
spidered by search engines and cached. However, for the most
part, I
usually use my FTP program OR even Dreamweaver itself (now
that I can)
to delete files on the server just as I do locally. Hit the

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

Is it possible to access my TimeCapsule from outside my local network via internet? If so what is the best app that can help me?

is it possible to access my TimeCapsule from outside my local network via internet? If so what is the best app that can help me?

iCloud can do it..
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
You need Lion and latest firmware on the TC..
Were you hoping to use the ipad/iphone?? That maybe possible but I am not sure how.
You cannot use windows without opening SMB to some strange port and this is going to mess with security.. you also need a static ip address from your ISP.. most private net users do not have this.
You can do it via vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router and bridge the TC to it.
Just google remote access time capsule.. there are a zillion posts about it.

Follow the instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084
That will do a COMPLETE "clean install".
After that, if it still stops, it's in your connection.

Error importing network device using CSV file

While importing a CSV file of a single network device, I am getting this error:
Value for attribute TrustSecDeviceID is Mandatory
In the CSV template (downloaded from ISE web gui), I don't see a field TrustSecDeviceID. What is the error referring to?

Kashish,
This looks like a bug but I attached a template that you can use and i tested with my ise 1.1.1 patch 1 and it worked fine, just replace the fields that I entered and you should be good to go! Were you able to get the password reset successfully on the PSNs?
Good luck!

Where is the network - workspace - device management's log? what is the name of the network - workspace - device's service?

Hi guys!
I want to know where can I set up the network -> workspace -> device management's log and get the log and what is the name of the network -> workspace -> device's service? Thank you for your answers.

Forget hotel technical support. All they'll do is refer you to a toll free number to the other side of the globe where somebody will tell you to click a Start button, or something. It's an utter waste of time.
What you describe is a "captive network" and yes, the need to authenticate each and every time you shut down your Mac or let it sleep is a common annoyance. The IT idiots that sold the Internet package to the hotel chain is long gone. Complain to whomever you can find, and perhaps one day they'll address their own incompetence. Until then keep your Mac connected, don't shut it down or let it sleep. Even then you may find yourself logged out from time to time, which you might not even become aware of until web pages stop loading. You can do nothing to fix it, other than to refuse to frequent that hotel chain. Be sure to tell them why.

Can't auth to Nortels networks devices using RADIUS with ACS 5.1

Hi,
I've got a problem with the ACS 5.1 RADIUS Authentication for Nortel network devices (Baystack 470, ERS 5530 5510, Passport 8606).
After configuring RADIUS on these device (primary serv, secondary serv, secret key, port...) and adding them to my ACS Servers.
I can't manage to login using RADIUS and i get the following message.
"Permission denied, please try again" or "No response from RADIUS server"(?) (depending on the device type)
But in my ACS View, I can see : "Authentication succeeded."
I've also checked the RADIUS frames, the "Access-Request" and "Access-Accept" are correctly transmitted.
I've got no problems with RADIUS Auth using other brand devices
Is there any known issues with Nortels devices using Cisco ACS 5.1 with RADIUS Authentication ?
Regards.

Are you sure that setting up a compound condition will help ?
To me, the RADIUS Nortel VSA are used for Authorization,and my problem is about Authentication (usually for a simple authentication, we stay in the IETF RADIUS Standards ? no ?)
Also, does setting this condition will change the Access-Accept packets sent by the ACS to the device ?
Here is my steps in the ACS View
11001 Received RADIUS Access-Request
11017 RADIUS created a new session
Evaluating Service Selection Policy
15004 Matched rule
15012 Selected Access Service - Default Network Access
Evaluating Identity Policy
15006 Matched Default Rule
15013 Selected Identity Store - Internal Users
24210 Looking up User in Internal Users IDStore - radius
24212 Found User in Internal Users IDStore
22037 Authentication Passed
Evaluating Group Mapping Policy
Evaluating Exception Authorization Policy
15042 No rule was matched
Evaluating Authorization Policy
15006 Matched Default Rule
15016 Selected Authorization Profile - Permit Access
11002 Returned RADIUS Access-Accept
So I think the ACS does its job
