WiFi remote office connection

Hello,
I need to connect 2 remote offices about 50 yards disance.
I would like to ask if there is cisco AP solution so that I could bridge a group of VLAN trunks
on a WiFi conection, I would like to bring a certain number of VLAN trunks to the remote office
using WiFi Connection.
Is it possible in some way ?
thank you
Rick

As Stephen mentioned, yes you can.
Get a couple of autonomous IOS 1262 AP's with external antenna
Set one up as the root bridge (the one connected to the main LAN) and set up the remote end as a bridge.
The connectivity to the LAN is by way of trunk ports so you can send multiple VLAN's across the wireless bridge
Good luck

Best place to create the DHCP scope for Guest SSID for remote office connected to HQ Foreign-Anchor controller

Hi Experts ,
Need help with the respect to understand the best practice to place/create the DHCP scope for remote site Guest SSID which will be connected to HQ Foeign-Anchor controller set-up.
how about internet traffic for Guest SSID , which one will be recommanded :
1) Guest SSID gets authenticated from HQ ISE and exposed to the local internet
2) Guest SSID gets authenticated from HQ ISE and exposed to the HQ internet
Thanks

Hi George ,
Thanks for your reply ...So you mean, best design would be to create the DHCP scope into DMZ for guest and let it get exposed to HQ internet ...
how about if I have another anchor controller in lets say in other office and I need to anchor the traffic or load balance from HQ foreign controller , in that case if I create DHCP scope into HQ anchor controller and if its down , I will loose the connectivity , how do I achieve fail-over to another anchor ?
Do I need to create secondary scope into another anchor controller and let the client get reauthenticated from other location ISE and get ip address as well from another anchor controller . Is it what you are proposing ?

Remote office Connection

Hi,
I am looking for best configuration scenario to connect between two offices using WIMAX technology as the media of communication.
to add more complexity, I would have fiber connection between two offices acting as redundancy for WIMAX Link.
What steps are required to do load balancing / failover scenario.

Hello,
Site_A===Router_A=======Connected_via_Fiber====Router_B====Site_B
site_A has network 192.168.1.0/24
Site_B has network 10.10.10.1/24
Do I need to have a different IP subnet for Fiber connection link router.
what is the best practise in this example

Remote desktop connects, black screen, disconnects after a few seconds

I have several servers running Windows Server 2012 R2. These servers are used for testing, and are members of a domain which has two DCs, each of which are running DNS Server.
Yesterday I noticed one of the servers was having an issue with its remote desktop connection. If I try remoting into this machine, it connects to a black screen, sits there for 2-3 seconds and then promptly disconnects. No error message is given. I tried
this from a couple different Windows 7 machines, and got the same result. I tried from my wife's iMac, which runs Jump Desktop, and too was met with the same result.
I can, however, remote into this machine via RDP from my work-issued laptop, which is running Windows 8. However, I cannot remote into the problem machine via Remote Desktop Connection from one of the 2012 R2 servers--I am met with the same result as the
other machines: connect, black screen for 2-3 seconds, disconnect without error.
I can remote into all of the other 2012 R2 servers without issue from any machine, including the iMac. I am experiencing this problem on one server only.
Since it is a test server, I reinstalled Windows from scratch this morning. This meant formatting the SSD and wiping everything out. I reinstalled the drivers, joined the server back to the domain and installed all of the updates available from Windows Update.
And rebooted. And yet, the problem persists!
I tried troubleshooting the "usual suspects," like turning off Windows Firewall, disabling antivirus software (currently none installed), disabling IPv6, setting a static IP instead of using DHCP, etc. I did notice the network adapter said it was
on a Network, not a Domain Network. I corrected DNS settings, and the network reidentified itself as being on the ParietalBone.net network. And yet, the problem persists. Remote Desktop to this server still yields a black screen for 2-3 seconds, followed by
a disconnect--EXCEPT from the aforementioned Windows 8 machine.
I looked in the TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager log on the offending server, and there are no errors. I only see repeated entries that say "Session X has been disconnected, reason code 12," where X is 1 or 2. On a couple occasions, the reason
code is 11. But I don't see any errors indicating a breakdown in security negotiation.
Without any robust logs or debug details, I'm at a loss of where to look for a solution.

I am cautiously optimistic that this may have been resolved.
The network card in the computer was only a 10/100 built-in card, so I replaced it with a 1Gbps card. Interestingly, this did NOT resolve the issue. I ran netsh to check on the state of the chimney offload, but it was already disabled.
In the network card properties, I changed the link speed and duplex from automatic to 1Gbps full, re-ran "netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled" and rebooted. The problem persisted.
And so I went to the network card properties and set IPv4 Checksum Offload, Large Send Offload (three of these -- IPv4, v2 IPv4 and v2IPv6) and TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4 and IPv6) to Disabled. Jumbo Frames were also disabled. I rebooted again.
After the subsequent reboot, I was able to connect to this Server from machines that previously gave me difficulty. The only machine I haven't been able to test today (I'm in the office) is my wife's iMac, which is at home. However, I was able to bring this
server up via Jump Desktop on my iPad, so I'm suspecting that perhaps one of the offload options was to blame. I'm not sure why this would allow me to connect from some machines but not others. And as noted above, I have many other machines running Server
2012 R2 and they are NOT experiencing this problem. And I've not done any tinkering with network settings on any of them, so their chimney and offload settings are all in the default configuration.
Regarding the other items -- NIC team, virtual machine, etc. -- there was no NIC team, no SRIOV and no RDMA involved.
I had to turn IPv6 off on this machine, and only on this machine, because having it enabled was causing a lot more problems. DNS registration would keep failing, it couldn't pull Group Policy, it couldn't get time sync with the DC, etc. The servers are all
set up with static IPv4 addresses. The router supports IPv6 but I'm not actually using it, so disabling IPv6 wasn't a concern to me.

Unable to allow traffic from remote office - Cisco RV220W

Hi there,
I have just bought the RV220W Cisco router firewall because my DLINK-1600 got broken and now I am unable to allow access to the machines located behind this router from the machines located at a remote office. Any help would be much appreciated!!
This is the situation:
1. Two remote offices A and B connected by a VPN tunnel (this connection is managed by an external provider and it is properly functioning)
2. IP range A office: 192.168.236.0/24
3. IP range B office: 192.168.237.0/24
4. Office A: CISCO RV220W router/firewall (the one that I´ve just bought as the old dlink has broken). This RV220W is connected to a cisco router (managed by provider) that is the one with the VPN tunnel to the other office. The CISCO router does not do NAT. On the other end (Office B) there is another CISCO router managed by the provider.
5. Everything was working smoothly until our old router/firewall got broken and that is when I bought the rv220w. I have set up the CISCO RV220W at office A and the machines can ping the machines located at office B and can browse the internet, i.e., the traffic going out is OK and in that sense everything works smoothly.
6. The problem is that the machines located at office B cannot access the machines located behind the CISCO RV220W and I know it is a problem of the firewall as if I capture traffic coming from office B, I can see that it is dropped by the CISCO RV220W.
7. I have tried to enable an access rule in the firewall to allow traffic from office B (see picture below) but it does not seem to work. In the field, Send to Local Server (DNAT IP) I have entered the WAN IP of my router (you cannot leave it blank) … this rule does not work at all. I think that is not properly configured but I don´t know how to do it.
8. As you see, the problem is that I don´t know how to set up a rule to allow specific traffic coming from the WAN (traffic from remote office – 192.168.237.0/24) to the LAN at office A - 192.168.236.0/24.
In the old router/firewall I just had to create a rule specifying the source interface (WAN) and network (Office B) and the destination interdace (LANOfficeA) and network (Office A). It does not seem that here I can do the same. i mean, you always have to point to a server ip inside the LAN??
I know it has to be a very easy thing to do but at this moment I am completely stuck. If anyone can give me some advice would be great.
Thanks a lot for your help in advanced!
Eva

Hi Eva, the default inbound policy cannot be changed. It will block all inbound traffic. To my knowledge there is not a way around this. Access rules are the only way to 'poke' a hole through the firewall but as you note, it is for a specific host. Values such as .0 and .255 do not work.

Remote Desktop Connection to Windows 8 PC from other computers crashing

Hi all.
Was hoping someone would be able to help me with an issue I'm having.
I'm trying to get a LAN remote desktop connection established to my Windows 8 laptop. It's an HP ENVY 17t-2100 CTO 3D Edition Notebook PC. Note that I'm running Windows 8 Pro only - not 8.1 as HP haven't released 8.1 graphics drivers for this laptop and probably
never will. The computer has a single user profile that has full administrator rights.
I have followed numerous web tutorials on how to turn on Remote Desktop. I've gone into Advanced System Settings > System Properties > Remote > checked "Allow Remote connections to this computer". All seems ok to me.
The problem comes when I try to establish a connection. When the connection is made, it almost instantaneously crashes the session on the computer or device trying to connect. The RDP client on my Windows 7 laptop, Mac OSX or Mac running Windows 8.1 Pro just
crashes, while the RDP iPhone or iPad app simply flickers for a few seconds then goes back to the main screen. Meanwhile, the HP ENVY loads the lock screen and displays a message saying XXX device is connected remotely and it won't let me log back in to kill
the connection or do anything. I have to restart the computer from then to be able to use it again.
I'm convinced there's not a problem with my local network as the HP ENVY can RDP into the Windows 7 laptop or Mac running Windows 8.1 without any problems. All computers are connected via Ethernet to a Linksys/Cisco wireless ADSL modem router which supports
Gigabit. The iPhone and iPad of course connect to the wifi network from the Cisco/Linksys modem router
I've also had a brief look at the RDP local connection logs. From what I can make out, they confirm that a user has successfully logged in, but they don't provide a crash log or a log of the user ever disconnecting, probably because I have to restart the computer
to continue using it. Dead end there, it seems.
The HP ENVY is connected to 3 external HP LED monitors. I've disconnected them and tried all devices with no luck. I've also played round with the RDP client settings to not mount drives or printers and the HP ENVY has no printers connected anyway, though I've
done all I can to remove any printer drivers as I've read elsewhere that they are what could cause the problem, but I've had no luck.
If anyone can suggest anything more that I can try, I would be unbelievably grateful! I'm more than happy to provide screenshots or videos of what happens when I try connecting. I'm not sure what you experts would find immediately helpful so just ask away if
you think I can provide anything.
Thanks in advance!
rugbyreff

The first thing that I would try is to uncheck all of the boxes for local resources on computer running the RDP client. It is possible that a device, such as a printer or other redirected device, is causing the crash. You can also look under Event Viewer
in the event logs of both systems and see if anything unusual appears when you attempt the remote connection.

Hi Brandon
Many thanks for your suggestions. There's nothing in the logs that I could find, like I said in the original post. I've also tried connecting with bare minimum settings on all devices (FYI the iPad and iPhone version don't support the use of printers) and
this still hasn't helped.
If you have any other ideas I'd be very glad to hear them!

Installed 10.8.4 and now my wifi refuses to connect to any WPA2 network!

Installed 10.8.4 update yesterday in the office. After restart my wifi refused to connect to the network although it was connecting to it fine before the update. Used ethernet and downloaded the Combo update. No improvement. It connects to the public wifi but not to the WPA2. Went home and opened my MBA and found that it does not connect to my peronal WPA2! Removed security from my Guest network and it connects fine. Put the WPA2 back, and it refuses to connect. Any ideas?

seems the problem is that the 10.8.4 didn't install properly. here is the install log:

Can 1 instance of Windows 8.1 ENTERPRISE host multiple Remote Desktop connections?

I am shopping for the components for building a machine with fair, high-performance hardware. I have Windows 8.1 Professional. I wanted to know if either Windows 8.1 Professional or Windows 8.1 Enterprise can support multiple remote connections
from users outside the local network. For example, my brother is based in San Diego, CA and has an underpowered laptop. Is there any way to make a remote connection over that much distance, from San Diego to Northern Virginia, from a RDP client running Windows
8.1 Professional to a RDP "server" Windows 8.1 Professional/Enterprise machine, and run a modern, single- or multiplayer- game over smoothly that connection? At the very least, is it possible to run common
apps (e.g. Microsoft Office 2013 IE 11, Adobe Acrobat XI) smoothly on a Windows 8.1 Pro RDP client connected to a Windows 8.1 RDP "server" located 2250+ miles away?
Would upgrading my installation from Professional to Enterprise improve the responsiveness and display quality for my remote users?
I know Windows Server R2 2012 has features specific for handling remote connections, but I am trying to keep a Windows 8.1 user experience. Still, if anyone can show some evidence that Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) improves display
and responsiveness over long-distances for remote (RDS) connections, then I will shop for Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard instead. The huge drawback of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard CALs is the enormous cost to enable 3-5
remote connections for family, non-commercial use.
Has anyone attempted to host long-distance remote access, non-commercially, for 3-5 connections? Has it worked well? What, in general, is required?
T. Webster

Hi,
It depends on the quality of the network connection to run the software smoothly throuth RDP. And I don't think the quality would be better if you upgrade to Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
Windows 8.1 allow only one session of RDP, the Remote Desktop Server in Windows other than the Windows Server edition has a limitation to allow only one concurrent user per session by default, i.e. if someone remotely connects to the computer over RDP then
whoever was logged in at that moment will be automatically logged off, even if that user is physically present at the computer. This is by design.
Regarding more information about RDP, please take a look at the following articles:

Remote desktop connection blocked by cisco security agent

Hi,
I have a deployment of a Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0.2 and i just noticed that the agent is blocking the remote desktop connection to the hosts, the agent installed on the server shows me the event but i'm not able to see it logged on the Management Center (i can see logged any other events), i'm not sure what rule should i enable in order to allow this connection.
Do you have any ideas???
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Remote desktop connection uses the highest possible security level encryption method between the source and destination.
In Windows Vista or later versions of Windows, the remote desktop connection uses the SSL (TLS 1.0) Protocol and the encryption is Certificate-based.
TS Gateway can also make the connection more secure, enhance security, see detailed information in this link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731264(WS.10).aspx
Don't forget some known offical antii-virus software, they can also protect the connetion from network attack.

Remote Desktop Connection on PowerBook, not x86 iMac

My office uses SBS2003 with VPN enabled.
Without VPN, on my PowerBook & the intel-iMac, I can "Remote Desktop Connection" into the server, then subsequently into a workstation through the server.
With the VPN connected, I can use RDC to connect directly to my workstation (say, unit01).
With VPN connected, the iMac can't connect directly to the workstation, yet it can still go through the server to the workstation as usual.
I'm suspecting this is an issue with Rosetta emulating Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection and not allowing the domain name to be recognized through the VPN.
Both computers are using the exact same settings for the VPN and attempting to use RDC exactly the same.

i've been using just the netbios name, simply because it works on my powerbook. I still don't understand why it wouldn't work on this intel-mac.
I was mainly following this guide:

Can't connect to windows 7 machine using microsoft remote desktop connection

I am unable to connect from my home network to the Windows 7 Professional machine at my office, using either Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (2.1.1) for Mac or the open source CoRD program.
When connected to the office network (which is running MS Small Business Server 2011 Standard) both CoRD and MS RDC will connect to my desktop machine just fine! (My MacBook Pro runs Mountain Lion.)
From my home network, MS RDC will complain that it cannot find the Windows computer if I just use the Windows computer name. If I use the Windows machine's iPV4 address, it works on it for a minute and then tosses up this error message:
Using the IP address of the Windows machine, CoRD just grinds away for a minute or so and then times out.
I should add that using Internet Exporer under Parallels from home, I can get a little closer to success (after fidding around with ActiveX controls for a bit). I will get to the Windows login screen, but then I am told that my user password is wrong (which makes no sense at all)!

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I have setup my first imac and as part of this process downloaded Remote Desktop Connection for macs so that I can log onto my server at work. Problem is when I attempt to connect to my remote pc the following message appears "Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to. Try connecting to the Windows-based computer, or contact our administrator"

So, what if those don't help? I've had "Always connect, even if authentication fails" selected for quite a while. It was working fine. Yesterday I installed Office 2011 (and immediately installed SP1), and now it broke my ability to connect to a Windows Server 2008 VM that definitely worked yesterday before the Office upgrade.
Anybody have a solution for this? It appears to be a bug in RDC 2.10. Thanks, Microsoft. Off to find a working RDP client for the Mac…
