Life of the ISAKMP Security Association

Hello

Like to know the process of ITS expiration date and renew, it will cause the VPN Goes?

and how long preshared key can support?

Thank you in advance!

Before the expiry of SA, a new SA will be negotiated and implemented, therefore, as soon as the old SA has expired, there are already HIS new, which will be done automatically. So to answer your question, to generate a new key SA, the VPN tunnel won't go down.

The life expectancy of SA for the phase 2 can be configured for a maximum of 214783647 seconds (default is 28800 seconds).

Hope that answers your question.

Question about the life of the IPSec Security Association

Hi all

I'm confused about life. A book, they said that you should service life of the peer to keep two exact same, otherwise you can not establish the tunnel. But I saw another book says you can use different to life (time interval or byte count), two peers will choose the lower one.

Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Banlan

There are two lives involved with IPSec, Phase 1 (ISAKMP) and Phase 2 (IPSec) connections.

With the Phase 1 tunnel, if the initiator has a longer life than that the answering machine, the answering machine does not accept the connection, then it is certainly preferable to keep your the same Phase 1 lives.

Phase 2, life will be negotiated at the lower of the two values regardless of intiates, if it is not serious. Always advised to keep living the same since you can run questions of negotiation with devices from different vendors.

DMVPN Question ISAKMP Security Association

Hi all

I have implemented a full mesh base DMVPN, similar to the int of config used life package

http://packetlife.net/blog/2008/Jul/23/dynamic-multipoint-VPN-DMVPN/ tutorial.

I have a Hub and two rays. Everything seems to be ok functioing. I've included the config below for tunnels.

My Question is, when I do an isakmp crypto see the its, for example 2A talked, I have three ISAKMP SA with three different addresses of CBC...

How is that possible when I only have the tunnels to two other devices, the hub and rays 1? and why a foreign source address appears as an association of ISAKMP security on this router?

status of DST CBC State conn-id slot

172.16.1.2 172.16.2.2 QM_IDLE 1 0 ACTIVE

172.16.2.2 172.16.3.2 QM_IDLE 3 0 ACTIVE

172.16.2.2 172.16.1.2 QM_IDLE 2 0 ACTIVE

A similar result on the hub

SRC and DST IP addresses indicate that was author and answering machine. They do not represent information outlet (in the traditional sense of the term).

You could get in double sessions of the two scenarios IKE, are the most common.

(1) the negotiation started at both ends "simultaneously".

(2) renegotiation of IKE.

What is strange to me, is that you seem to have initiated session and responsed by the hub.

What I would do, is to add:

-ip server only PNDH (on the hub, it is not a provided ASR)

-DPD (on all devices).

Assures us that this hub initiates not anything in the PNDH and useless/deceased sessions are torn down eventually.

change the lives of the IPSEC Security Association

Hello

If I use the

order of the life of-association of IPSEC crypto security, that does not hold for all customers? I'm trying to change it only for an IPSEC security association and I don't want to interrupt any existing VPN client.

is it possible to put it for a client?

Thank you!

Lisa G

You can change it in a configuration card crypto for each individual connection. Since you don't specify what your vpn device ends on however, I can't give you a specific example.

the command you gave is global, for which there is already a default lifetime. 'local' lifespans for individual crypto cards override this value.

also, if two peers differ in their lives during the negotiation, they are "supposed to" choose the smallest value, but still not connect.

Missing Captain obvious - Site to site IPSEC, any ISAKMP security association

So I try to set up a site to IPsec and I fell at the first hurdle. I checked my config so many times and I can't see a problem.

Two routers can ping each other so connectivity is there.

Two routers have static routes to the router's local ip range against pointing out the wan interface.

Both routers have ACL (155) to the direction of movement of the other router and is associcated with the cryptomap.

Two routers have the map on the external interface.

However, any attempt to put in place a SA. Debugging on both shows nothing, show isakmp crypto that his shows nothing.

Please help us save my sanity!

Save your sanity, it's put a big :-) but--

You must change your NAT ACL IE. they should read-

Router 1-

"access-list 100 deny ip 192.168.30.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.20.0 0.0.0.255.
"access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any."

Router 2-

"access-list 100 deny ip 192.168.20.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.30.0 0.0.0.255.
"access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any."

ASA 5520 to 5510 VPN is not the creation of the IPSEC Security Association

I have an L2L built between a 5520 and 5510 ipsec tunnel. I'm sure I configured everything that I need to but when I do a show ipsec cry his it is nothing. I do not know the inbetween firewall are open to allow connections as well. also whenever I set up a part of the cryptomap as a command: crypto outside_map 10 card game peers 6.7.0.13 he would come back with this error

[IKEv1]: ignoring msg SA brand with the specified coordinates dead.

any ideas?

Hello

Could you please paste the output of the command "show following run crypto" since both the ASAs. Also, what do you see when you give "cry isa to show her.

Also if your ACL crypto for the tunnel have something like this "access-list extended ACL permit tcp host 192.168.11.11 host 10.1.100.105 eq ftp.

Change the ACL for ip that is "access-list extended ACL permit ip 192.168.11.11 host 10.1.100.105" Let me know if that helps

Thank you

Phase 2 question [all IPSec security association proposals considered unacceptable!]

Hello

I have problems to configure an ipsec L2L with my 1921 tunnel and ASA.

I have to use aggressive mode as the 1921 does not have a fixed IP.

Phase 1 of IKE's fine, but then I get the following message:

5 11:00:14 Group April 1, 2014 713119 = CIT-TEST, IP = YYY. YYY. YYY. YYY, PHASE 1 COMPLETED

5 11:00:14 Group April 1, 2014 713904 = CIT-TEST, IP = YYY. YYY. YYY. YYY proposals, any IPSec security association has deemed unacceptable!

and the tunnel manages not to come.

So I guess it's one about identifyed networks, so I suspect the transformation defined not to be good.

Could anyone help with the transformation on the 1921 set command, it's a little different than on the ASA.

Can anyone help?

You don't show us the configuration (if one is called) for Phase 2 of ASAs transform-set.

There should be an installer matching your 1921 something as in this example:

IPsec Security Association keep it up

Hello community,

Customer has about 50 distance 871 s (home) with IP phones.

Main site has ASA 5510 sheltering the CUCM.

Problem is...

When user1 calls user2 there no audio data (since there is no built between remote users IPsec security association).

The fact that user1 called user2 built IPsec between ROUTER1 and ASA, but since there is no IPsec security association for users between ROUTER2 and ASA, audio fails.

If User2 calls user1 now, then the call is successful, because the SAs are built:

IPsec security association between ROUTER1 and ASA for the traffic of user1 and user2

IPsec security association between ROUTER2 and ASA for the user1 user2 traffic

So, the problem is that both parties must open up traffic to make this work.

What I did to solve the problem, is to configure IP SLA on routers to send a PING packet every 10 minutes at their home by peers (thus keeping the SAs between remote sites all the time).

IP SLA works, but I'm looking for a better way to solve the problem of having to manually launch the traffic (DMVPN or running as one routing protocol does not work with the ASA through the tunnel).

I guess to increase life expectancy IPsec Security Association is another option.

Looking to get recommendations, thanks!

Federico.

Hi Federico,.

Have you considered EzVPN/Easy VPN, with ASA like server EzVPN configuration and Clients (routers/ASA5505) as clients of EzVPN? This would create the tunnel as soon as it is configured.

In addition, apart from the increase in the life expectancy of the AA (which is basically report to generate a new key stage 2), you can configure vpn-idle-timeout to be 'none' in the group-policy framework of the SAA.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards

ProDesk 600 G1 BIOS configuration of the TPM secure through the BIOS Configuration utility

We have a range of devices, computers HP desktop and laptops in our environment. Devices are all running Windows 7 64 bit and should have Bitlocker enabled, but we found that some were not encrypted. So I am trying to set up a remote BIOS and Bitlocker config activate software that we can get out via SCCM and then embed in a task sequence image for new machines.

I use the Bios HP Configuration utility to check a BIOS password is set and then activate the TPM chip. I took a BIOS config output of each of our models and created a settings file that has all of the TPM associated parameters of all models.

At the moment I run Setup BIOS utility manually for testing. On all models I tried that works very well, except for the 600 ProDesk G1 SFF.

When I run the utility on the ProDesk 600 G1 MFS, it says that I have managed to update the settings, and when I check the BIOS, the TPM secure has been unhidden and the TPM Management was given to the operating system (two settings I change), but the TPM itself remains hidden.

It's the release of the BIOS configuration utility (it uses the 2.60.13.1 version, which uses plaintext passwords. I also tried with the 3.0.13.1 later version that uses password files - same result)
```
C:\ > BiosConfigUtility64.exe /cspwd: "password" set: "TPM_Config.REPSET"

< BIOSCONFIG Version = "2.60.13.1" Computername = 'HP600G1' Date = "24/07/2014" Time = "13:01:37 ' UTC '1' = >"

< SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Embedded Security Device" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"

        < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [hidden device]] > < / OLDVALUE >

        < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [device]] > < / NEWVALUE >

< / SETTING >

< SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Enable security on the next boot" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"

        < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >

        < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >

< / SETTING >

< SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "The BONES of on-board safety management" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"

        < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >

        < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >

< / SETTING >

< SUCCESS msg = "Successfully set BIOS config." / >

< information msg = 'BCU return the value' real '0' = translated = '0' / >

< / BIOSCONFIG >

C:\ >
```
And after a reboot (where it should activate the TPM), BIOS shows as disabled built-in safety device (see attachment for the image).

I have tried everything I can think of to get this to activate, including:
- Different versions of the BIOS configuration utility
- Remove the password from the BIOS and the application in the same order as the parameters
- Different passwords
- Reboot and allowing the machine to start completely to Windows before checking if the setting took effect
I also tried to add the utility and the commands for an SCCM package and it works directly and as part of a sequence of tasks to see if that makes a difference, but nothing I've done has activated the TPM module.

I know that the TPM module works, as you can turn it on manually and then Bitlocker can be applied to the machine, but with thousands of devices in our environment, I need to get this job without the need for manual intervention.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Or has someone at - he managed to activate the TPM on the SFF of 600 ProDesk G1 using the BIOS Setup utility? Any ideas / suggestions would be very appreciated!

P.S. This thread was moved from the company PC - Compaq, Elite, Pro for HP PC Client management. -Hp moderator of the Forum

This problem has now been resolved by HP.

They provided a replacement motherboard for the test machine I was using that solved this problem. I don't know what kind of motherboard failure could prevent the activation via the script TMP chip but not prevent activation through the BIOS menu, but as a replacement solved the problem, then it must be a hardware failure.

I'm having a problem with the update of the last security update. What can I do?

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas: problem getting my pc to download the latest security update
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Floyd,

It helps those answering questions if you provide:

you use what browser (exact version).

What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?

What third-party firewall

What anti-malware software can be installed.

What updates you trying to install?
What error do you get everything when trying to install updates?

In addition to the information required:

How to view the log of update windows

HP Stream 13.3: master password for the software security device

I recently bought my HP laptop and I thought it would bw a good idea to use the password and I created and do not remember for the life of me what it is. Using google and see what I could do. He told me that I could restore the computer to factory settings and keep my files and clear the password. I tried and when I logged on today he again asked me the password into a box that says: Please enter the master password for the software security device. I tried all how can I get rid of this or reset it so that I can pick one and write it down. It won't let me connect on the Web site of my school because even if I click cancel it tell me that I can get because it cannot determine my credentials. Yes, even though I entered in my password for my school site which is not serious because I do not know the master password! Please help as soon as you can!

iOS 10 effect on the life of the battery for the iPhone 6 s

I bought a 6 s iPhone 64GB one month before the release of iOS 10. I noticed a huge difference in the life of battery since the upgrade to iOS 10 and iPhone is to have the latest version (iOS 10.0.2). I have disabled some features, I found online as lift to wake and reduced the flow for the life of the reserve battery but still not satisfied with the result. Can someone please guide me what can I do? or if it can be reviewed and fixed in the next software update?

I had this problem too. I went into settings > battery and checked my battery usage and fixed applications with a background activity that was it drains. But it's still pretty dark. I had to leave my phone mode low power just to prevent it from falling down for like 60% after only being on 3 hours.

How to reset the iCloud security code

Can you reset the Security Code iCloud until one has the entered incorrectly too many times?

(I am connected to iCloud on my MacBook and want to connect on my iPad, but am unsure of the security code to use, so I want to reset it on the MacBook.)

Apple Help topic for If you register your iCloud Security Code wrong too many times... says:

…

On a Mac using OS X Yosemite or later:

Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.

Click Options next to keychain.

Click on change the Security Code, and enter a new cryptogram iCloud.

My prefs do not show 'Options' beside keychain. (Keyring is enabled).

I have to go through the process of entry that he incorrectly too many times on the iPad before 'Options' will appear on the Mac?

There is no way to reset the iCloud security code as it comes to Apple servers. What specific problems you encounter when you try to connect to your iPad?
