AnyConnect IkeV2 backup server with test

Hello world

I configured anyconnect with ikev2 on our two different sites.

Client PC have anyconnect pre configured on their PC.

Under profile anyconnect each site I also put the IP address of the other ASA VPN site in the case where if users at site 1 connects to the ASA at site 1 so if this ASA is down they should automatically connect to Site 2 ASA.

Want to know how I can test whether users are able to connect to the rear for the ASA.

This test will be ok

Turn off the ASA at site 1 and test the PC using name of Site 1 as Site 1 ASA connection is broken or turned off should it automatically connect to

Back up the server who is ASA at site 2?

Concerning

MAhesh

Yes, this test should do the trick, and give you an indication if the anyconnect client is toggled to the ASA secondary if the primary is unavailable.

  • VCB to backup server with HP's Eva and Dell AX4 storage systems

    I have two storage systems connected to a backup server. It is installed on Windows 2003 Server x 64 PowerPath5.2. Windows see each storage only once, so I think that multiple paths to the storage works correctly. Whenever I try to start to browse (or start the backup operation) a VM on HP Eva everythink is ok, but for the VM on AX4 I recive error message:

    Next step would be to check a second time your zoning and lun masking. There could be a conflict with the various mpio drivers between eva and the clariion. I would try to remove all mpio drivers too.

  • With the support of IKEv2 VPN server configuration

    I'm putting my pc W7 as a VPN server with the support of IKEv2, but it escapes me, although I am not a novice.

    I read a lot of forums "directions for use", but no address really details.

    (1) for IKEv2, I need to install a certificate... I could not find a step by step guide.

    Everyone for help...?

    (2) how to set up the VPN server on my local LAN for testing to exclude router firewall etc... and connect my 920 lumia.

    Everyone for help...?

    Hello

    My apologies for the delay in response.

    For that matter on the VPN with IKEv2 Server Setup, you will need to post your request here on the TechNet forums.

  • Backup server AnyConnect when Session limit reach

    Hello

    I did the usual search engine and forum crawl looking for the answer, but can't find anything definitive.

    Is it possible for AnyConnect use the backup server defined in the connection profile when the session limit is reached on a SAA?  Basically if I hit the limit of 250 on my ASA 5510 in zone A, it will try the backup server that ASA is defined in the connection profile which is in region B?

    What I've read, the backup server comes into play when the AnyConnect client cannot connect, but in this scenario, it will connect but get an error message.

    Any input appreciated.

    See you soon,.

    Andrew

    Unfortunately, I think that the answer is no unless she changed in recent versions.  I asked this of Cisco for more than a year.  We have the same problem... when anyconnect hits a bridge but cannot connect because of all sorts of reasons, no IP address remains in the IP local pool, no licenses, failure DAP, etc., he never tries gateways following in the list.  It is ONLY when the door is completely unavailable will continue to backup from the list.  I hope more people chime for Cisco can finally fix this.

  • Cloning by rman on a different server with the directory structure different and different DBNAME in EBS 11i using quick Clone

    Hello

    We want only DB (not apps) cloning through PROD rman, step TEST EBS 11i using quick Clone without taking downtime of PROD (i.e. No. BKP COLD).

    Source and target are on different servers, different file structure and the different database name.

    Kindly let me know the detailed procedure?

    Kind regards

    log_file_name_convert = ' / PROD_redofile_location/ONLINELOG ', ' / test_redofile_location / data ".

    Start the DB:

    Start the db in nomount:

    startup nomount.

    Connecting to rman and start to restore:

    Auxiliary RMAN.

  • Backup VM with VBLOCK

    I'm new to vBlock but have a decent understanding of vSphere and pretty much thru ver4.1 (some in ver 5).  Here's my question:

    I'm with a company that uses vBlock and ESXi4 stand-alone servers.  No vCenter.   Inrteresting Setup.    They are not instant, and they do not have the VM backups.

    Now, I'm still green behind the ears to this company, so I don't think I can say much of their virtual infrastructure and virtual policies, but whenever they need to make changes to their system (even if they are virtual machines), they either do or build a new server and test it on the new server.   In regards to the side of the virtual machine, they told me that they are not instant is because their SAN (Fibre Channel of EMC) vBlock can VM backups.  That's why even serves as to why they have no VM used cover backup/restore applications.   Fortunately, they have never had a need to post this because they have never had to restore a virtual machine.

    I am skeptical.   From what I've read, vBlock and SAN interface device provides true VM backups.   If I'm not mistaken VBlock simply integrates 3 (vSphere, Cisco and EMC SAN routing).   I don't know that the SAN has the standard ability to backup files (IE.  The virtual computer files) but to be able to completely restore a computer virtual... I don't think so.  And, although it is possible to recreate a virtual machine files... it will take time to do so and if the configuration remains intact or not is questionable, in my opinion.   In any case, I wanted to see if someone knew more VBLOCK and could you tell me if what I said is true.    If this isn't the case, I'll have to chime so that they can take the appropriate decisions.

    A Vblock (Yes, that's how VCE spells it) is sold with Enterprise more than license for the hosts, they are required to be able to include Nexus 1000v and PowerPath VE, with vCenter Standard edition (which allows unlimited guests).

    By the reference guide (page 9) architecture - https://community.emc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/5665-102-2-20157/h6935-vblock-infra-packages-ref-arc.pdf

  • Unavailable backup server

    I'm restarting this topic.  I followed the direction to turn it off, wait, turn on and restart my Palm Pre Plus to launch the automatic backup, but were unsuccessful.  I keep getting the message "backup server unavailable."  Also, I have no list of previous backups, which leads me to believe that my data has never been backed up.

    I have a valid Palm profile because I can log into it, but whenever I try a manual backup, I get an error message 'server not available backup '.

    What is the step beyond to disable the backup, wait, restart, start, manual backup?

    Thanks in advance.

    I was going to just say that I see that you have done a backup today and check back with you to see if you still experience the problem.

    I will continue to investigate other issues of backup users.

  • Anyconnect Ikev2 uses aggressive Mode

    Hello world

    I'm trying to fix the IKE Aggressive mode with vulnerabilities PSK on our Cisco ASA that runs old IPsec and Ikev2 Anyconnect VPN.

    When I run the command

    Crypto isakmp HS her

    User using IPSEC VPN

    IKEv1 SAs:

    HIS active: 25
    Generate a new key SA: 0 (a tunnel report Active 1 and 1 to generate a new key during the generate a new key)
    Total SA IKE: 25

    1 peer IKE: 63.226.x.x
    Type: user role: answering machine
    Generate a new key: no State: AM_ACTIVE

    Then, he tells me that this VPN client is using aggressive mode right?

    User using IKEV2 anyconnect

    Crypto isakmp HS her

    17 peer IKE: 192.206.x.x
    Type: user role: answering machine

    SPI ESP/output: 0xa315b767/0xbec2f7cc

    Need to know anyconnect ikev2 does not share any key of share pre then why the number of line 17 shows AM (aggressive mode)?

    The ikev2 Protocol has nothing to do with the aggressive mode or main at all.

    If you do a 'sh crypto isa"it will show you the the ikev1 and his ikev2.

    If you still see a flow in the table, maybe it's a stuck session.

    To disable the aggressive mode, enter the following command:

    Crypto ikev1 am - disable

    For example:

    HostName (config) # crypto ikev1 am - disable

  • Using IKEv2 from Microsoft with Cisco ASA

    Hello

    I just want to confirm something, if I can put this issue to rest.

    We have a Cisco ASA 5505 running OS 8.4

    For remote access, we have the configuration of SSL VPN to include IPSec (IKEv2).

    With the help of our AnyConnect client works.  No problem.

    The issue is on my Windows 7 computer when I place a remote access profile I choose IKEv2 (PPTP or L2TP/IPSec).  However, this does not work.

    It error to say that he "cannot find a matching policy.  I'm assuming what he mean't he couldn't find any political IKE.  I have added other policies of IKE, which has find a match, but ASA connects the barks by saying "IKE neogoiation fails in search of a certificate or a preshared key".

    There is no option for inputing a pre-shared for IKEv2 on Windows 7 with its profile.

    Therefore, I think that on the ASA 5505 IKEv2 is only used for remote access with the AnyConnect client (or the client AnyConnect Secure Mobility) and NOT with other clients like Microsoft IKEv2.

    Is this really the case?  Or can I use IKEv2 integrated with Windows 7 to access remotely the ASA 5505 enabled for IKEv2 for remote access (and not as a site-based virtual private network)?  If so how did you get it to work.  It is an empty topic of discussion on the Internet.

    Thank you!

    Hi Rya,

    I don't think there are changes to this recently but ASA doesn't work with anyconnect with IKEv2.

    I recently wrote about this in my blog

    https://supportforums.Cisco.com/community/NetPro/security/VPN/blog/2011/02/08/ASA-84-IPSec-VPN--whats-new
    (Point 4)

    Frankly I did not follow developments of this features recently, so I might have missed something.

    Ryan,

    It seems that you are facing the question where it is indicated in the section:

    Problems with the help of "authentication bind first" with user-defined attribute maps:

    * Then you are likely to see a failure in your authentication attempt. You will see the error message "Invalid credentials, result code = 49.  The newspapers will look something like the journals below: *.

    Which is the same error you see. Go ahead and replace in your attribute map and test again.

    If you remove the command "bind-first authentication' configuration above, everything will work correctly.

    I'm transferring my entire website from my old Web host at GoDaddy. How to copy all my files (in Dreamweaver) to my Web site from the server, it's on now, on my desk? So I can then connect you to my new server with GoDaddy and transfer all of the site?

    If you don't have local copies of your site on your computer...

    1 create a new Site definition using your old FTP GS-01 information: definition of a new site. Learn Dreamweaver CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV

    2. Once you have the defined site and can connect, click on the Get (down arrow) command in the files Panel

    3 when you are prompted to hit "get the entire Site? Yes

    4. After downloading the entire site, navigate to the Site > Manage Sites > click the site > Edit > servers > click on the remote server > Edit to enter your new GoDaddy FTP Info

    5. after the test connection to check, you can connect, click the command Put (up arrow) in the files Panel

    If you have a site already defined for your old Web host, go to #4 above.

  • Cheap construction and Simple Home ESXi Server to test

    I think building a desktop computer (you can call it home server) for VMware vSphere Hypervisor to test at home for educational purposes.  I am currently using a > 6 yr old Dell laptop which does not support VMware vSphere hypervisor.  I have no luck in my workplace to have hands on VMware.  Course VCP5 is expensive here in Malaysia, about 3 times salary for a fresh grad. If you have savings of 1/3, should be save to just sign up for the course of 9 months.  Also I would need to take leave of 5 days on the course, they have no weekend class.

    My plan is to set up for lab test (VCP5 test) and possibly configure 4 virtual machines.  What are the best way to build that ESXi server to test?

    I have experince in the building of my own office back in the years of the pentium - pentium 4.  But I certainly have no experience in the construction of a system as complicated as, I am a total newbie to VMware.  I need your need help and tips to avoid buying machines bad for my setup.

    my budget would be RM3000, which is about USD1000. (Now I think I can get USD600 below after opt for AMD on Intel Core i7)

    You don't need a San to install ESXi, but if it's under consideration for the VCP that a SAN would be beneficial, as would a second host ESXi - in this way you will be able to test vMotion, DRS, HA-

  • Server with 10 TB LUN attached by physical brutes FC connection works, but second 10TB seems to be limited

    I have an ESX Server with two virtual machines on it, one of the servers is to store medical images. These virtual machines are essentially backup servers to servers that are physical (not virtual).  The main server is a physical server with an attached IBM DS4700 direct and secondary sandbox. I have 20 TB of data spaced so far.  Side virtual server also direct a of DS4700 attached to the area of ESX and he sees the first 10 fine to, as a single disc, and Yes, I know that this seems to go against the norm.  In any case we work for well over a year to date.  I add the second 10TB and I now seem to be limited by the expected 2 TB-512 b per LUN through documentation.  I would like to know why I was able to create the first 10 TB LUN without problem using physical RDM mode, but when I try to add the next physical drive from RDM on the same server (see 9.54 TB LUN very well), using the same method, why windows or should I say VMWare ESX is not being able to see the 10 to complete this time.  I am aware of the supposed limits, but the first works fine, why only now did he not see it.  To clarify the "Add" function of VMWare 9.54 Tb thin LUN during the creation of the new disc, but in Windows, it only recognizes the first 1.5 to (so it seems) I have not actually tried to format the volume in Windows and have yet once removed from the virtual machine.

    Windows 2008 64 bit standard on top of ESX 4 Enterprise Plus connected via direct fiber DS4700 and DS4000 with 10 TB on each table.  The virtual machine has been improved to version 7 machine and I have NOT tried add the second 10TB still with the new VM version. Thought I would ask first.

    Yes, you can map your volume of GPT in any physical Windows but I can't tell if you will experience data corruption or not, as I know that more than 2 TB volumes don't are not supported with current versions of vSphere.

    It is a good article on 2 TB limit, and how taken Windows support that: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/18/understanding-the-2-tb-limit-in-windows-storage.aspx

  • Editing a data store on the backup server

    Hello

    I have an ESXi 4.0 production (free version) with 2 virtual machines.

    I have a second server ESXi 4.0 which will be my backup server. This server has a data store single named 'VM-Store.

    Question: Can my production server I mount the datastore (VM-Store) located by backup server?

    Thank you

    Terry

    Welcome to the forums - you can not mount th einternal by another host ESX esx host storage - you'll need some kind of storage device shared as FC SAN, iSCSI SAN or NAS/NFS.
