Resolution:The new way to add static routes on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems is to create a file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-ethX where X corresponds to the network interface you wish to use
the alternate route(s). This file deals with three fields: GATEWAY, NETMASK, and ADDRESS. Each field
should have a number appended to it indicating what route it relates to. The example below shows two
static routes configured for the eth0 network interface.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0
GATEWAY0=10.10.0.1
NETMASK0=255.0.0.0
ADDRESS0=10.0.0.0

GATEWAY1=10.2.0.1
NETMASK1=255.255.0.0
ADDRESS1=192.168.0.0

Netcat can be used as a simple data transfer agent, and it doesn't really
matter which end is the listener and which end is the client -- input at one
side arrives at the other side as output. It is helpful to start the listener
at the receiving side with no timeout specified, and then give the sending side
a small timeout. That way the listener stays listening until you contact it,
and after data stops flowing the client will time out, shut down, and take the
listener with it. Unless the intervening network is fraught with problems,
this should be completely reliable, and you can always increase the timeout. A
typical example of something "rsh" is often used for: on one side,

nc -l -p 1234 | uncompress -c | tar xvfp -

and then on the other side

tar cfp - /some/dir | compress -c | nc -w 3 othermachine 1234

will transfer the contents of a directory from one machine to another, without
having to worry about .rhosts files, user accounts, or inetd configurations
at either end.

MRTG Latency script

Well, since you didn't specify an operating system, I'll assume
that you're following in my footsteps and doing battle with NT4
as a server. Note that the following requires that you use the
ping.exe supplied with Windoze 95/98 instead of the useless ping
supplies with NT4. See the MRTG stuff somewhere on:
http://www.lns.com
which is from where I stole the script. I also have a somewhat
different version for Linux (RH 7.1) but which I can't get to
as I managed to break SSH and can't grab it.

------------
# MRTGPING.PL
# Plagerized by Jeff Liebermann from original by Tim Pozar.
# 09/14/00 First hack for NT4.

$ipaddr = "NULL";
$ipaddr = $ARGV[0];
$numpings = 3;

if ($ipaddr eq "NULL"){
print "Usage mrtgping.pl [ipaddress]\n";
exit;
}

# Note that "ping95.exe" is the Windoze 95/98 version
# and not the useless ping supplied with NT4.
#
# Windoze ping will return...
# Minimum = 494ms, Maximum = 574ms, Average = 520ms
$result = `ping95 -n $numpings $ipaddr | find /i "average" `;

# Break result apart at the commas.
chop($result);
($Mins,$Maxs,$Avgs) = split(/,/,$result);

# Break each value apart at the = sign.
($Mint,$min) = split(/=/,$Mins);
($Maxt,$max) = split(/=/,$Maxs);
($Avgt,$avg) = split(/=/,$Avgs);

# Remove the "ms" at the end.
$min1 = substr($min,0,-2);
$max1 = substr($max,0,-2);
$avg1 = substr($avg,0,-2);
$min1 =~ s/ //g;
$max1 =~ s/ //g;
$avg1 =~ s/ //g;

# Belch results in 4 lines.
print "$avg1\n";
print "$max1\n";
print "0\n";
print "$ipaddr\n";
------------



If Perl is a bit of a heavy hammer, the following is what
I use on my SCO Unix OSR5 3.2v5.0.5 machines. The use of
the first ping return is intentional as I'm trying to plot
the latency of the Starband satellite flying cache, which
caches everything exept the first packet.

when the aventail socks server, does not forward the network packets as expected it could be that the connection order need to be changed.

To do that, you have to check the connect directory:

Aventail: change connection order
-> c:\Program Files\Aventail\Connect
-> SPMOD->Layered Service Providers: Aventail to top!

Crossover cable:

1 <-> 3 short version: TX+ (1) <-> (3) RX+
2 <-> 6 TX- (2) <-> (6) RX-
3 <-> 1 RX+ (3) <-> (1) TX+
4 <-> 4 RX- (6) <-> (2) TX-
5 <-> 5
6 <-> 2
7 <-> 7
8 <-> 8

Regular end:
|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|

And at the crossover end:
|3|6|1|4|5|2|7|8|

I just want masquerading! Help!

This is what most people want. If you have a dynamically allocated IP PPP dialup (if
you don't know, you do have one), you simply want to tell your box that all packets
coming from your internal network should be made to look like they are coming from the
PPP dialup box.

# Load the NAT module (this pulls in all the others).
modprobe iptable_nat

# In the NAT table (-t nat), Append a rule (-A) after routing
# (POSTROUTING) for all packets going out ppp0 (-o ppp0) which says to
# MASQUERADE the connection (-j MASQUERADE).
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

# Turn on IP forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Note that you are not doing any packet filtering here: for that, see the Packet
Filtering HOWTO: `Mixing NAT and Packet Filtering'.


#transparent proxy with squid

IP Routing,

Enabling IP Routing

By default, IP routing is disabled. To enable IP routing, you must allow the computer to
forward IP packets it receives. This requires a change to the Windows 2000 system registry.
When you enable the Routing and Remote Access service for IP routing,
this registry entry is made automatically.

To enable IP routing

1 .From the Start menu, click Run.

2.Type regedt32.exe or regedit.exe, and then click OK.

3.In a registry editor, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip \Parameters

4. Select the "IPEnableRouter" entry.

5. To enable IP routing for all network connections installed and used by this computer, assign a value of 1.
To do this in regedit.exe, right-click the entry, and then click Modify.
In regedt32.exe, click on the wanted entry, click on Edit, and then click on the appropriate menu choice.

6.Close the registry editor.

It is required to reboot Windows 2000 for this change to take effect.

I have used this in a configuration, where the Windows 2000 Professional system works
as a router between an Ethernet network and a USB-network.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
edit ifcfg-eth0 ...
In use since 1995 and on a variety of accounts.
Out of the box type software and works on discovery of network. Easy to setup and configure.
Platform - NT or Unix (Sun or HP). No AIX.
If the network is large with many elements (ports, switches, routers etc), then best use Unix.
They have used in network of between 5K and 8K elements.
Reports can be setup for SM or technical staff.
Has web i/f.
Can perform network (WAN & LAN), server and application performance management.
Has real-time analysis.
Excellent backup support from reseller.
Have used for SLA reports.
Great success with linking tool to Helpdesk and ease of reporting/tracking/communication problems.
VitalAnalysis - response times.
VitalNet - network components.
VitalEvent - Threshold limits etc.
Many features the same as Concord.
GUI very good and has web i/f. Can be setup with many view for SM, technical, CIO.
Has agents on end stations for end-to-end analysis.
No realtime data - minimum of two hours delay. Lucent don't say it's realtime.
Sample times are minimum of one hour, so it's already averaged - slight disadvantage.
Lucent will send data from end station to server, whereas Concord will poll. Therefore, Concord server has more load.
Support not always quick and responsive.

HP ProCurve Switch Stack Firmware Update

1. save the config. (write memory)
2. save current software to secondary (copy flash flash secondary)
3. upload the new software to primary - it doesn't matter which way:
- via menu
- via web
- via tftp: copy tftp flash <ip-address> <remote-os-file> [<primary | secondary>]
3.1: verify image using "show flash"
4. reboot the stack (boot system flash primary)

Things to know:
- A "reboot" or "reload" (and the corresponding MIB) would cause only the commander to get rebooted.
A "boot system" would boot the entire stack
- uploading software to the commander will cause all members to have that software loaded as well
- scheduled stack reboot can be done via command job:
----> your-switch(config)# job reboot at 08:55 "boot system"
You can specify the default flash to boot from on the next boot by entering the
boot set-default flash command:
HP Switch(config)# boot set-default flash secondary

Booting from the default flash
Syntax: boot[system[flash | <primary | secondary> ]] [config FILENAME]
- system:Boots the switch. You can specify the flash image to boot from. When using
redundant management, boots both the active and standby management modules.

#reload command
This command boots the switch from the currently active flash image and
startup-config file. Because reload bypasses some subsystem self-tests, the switch
boots faster than if you use a boot command.

#schedule a reload:
- To schedule a reload in 15 minutes: HP Switch# reload after 15
- To schedule a reload in 3 hours: HP Switch# reload after 03:00
- To schedule a reload for the same day at 12:05: HP Switch# reload at 12:05
- To schedule a reload for some future date: HP Switch# reload at 12:05 01/01/2008

#scheduled stack reboot:
----> your-switch(config)# job reboot at 08:55 "boot system"
in most cases it is better not to use flowcontrol, see also this discussion:

vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor for Linux and BSD that keeps a log of network traffic for the selected interface(s). It uses the network interface statistics provided by the kernel as information source. This means that vnStat won't actually be sniffing any traffic and also ensures light use of system resources.

How to mount QEMU's qcow2 partitions:

using the "network block device" (nbd) driver and the qemu-nbd tool

step 1:load the module
$ modprobe nbd max_part=8

step 2: > make the image available as block device
$ qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /hdd-fil.qcow2

step 3: list the available partitions by using command:
$ fdisk -l /dev/nbd0

step 4: mount the partion
$ mount /dev/nbd0p1 /tmp/mymountpoint/
>> if this step fails with the warning: mount: special device /dev/nbd0p1 does not exist
>> run the command: partx -a /dev/nbd0
>> and repeat step 4!

step 5: disconnect partion + block device
$ umount /dev/nbd0p1
$ qemu-nbd --disconnect /dev/nbd0
Problem: after a vmware virtual server (windows 2012) was using 10gbit instead of 1gbit it was not able anymore to build up valid tcp session to some specific hosts

Solution: after using wireshark we found out, that the difference was the tcp ECN bit, which was set when using 10gbit

>> disable ecn on the virtual windows machine:
netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=Disabled

>> check windows settings:
netsh int tcp show global

problem occured on ubuntu 18.04.xx

>> connect not possible via:
mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306

>> only connect via console / pipe is possible



solution 1: create an extra database admin user for network access
--------------------------------------
Mysql –u root –p
#create user sqladmin
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'sqladmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';

#grant all privileges to the user
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'sqladmin'@'localhost';

#making the changes take effekt
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;




solution 2: enable root user
--------------------------------------
use mysql;
update user set plugin='mysql_native_password' where user='root';
flush privileges;
exit;


>> check your password access afterwards!
maybe you need to set a new password:
MariaDB [(none)]> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('your-new-password') where user='root';

Alternatively, you could copy your private keys over by using chia keys add, but this is less secure. After creating a plot, run chia plots check to ensure everything is working correctly.

Aruba Instant version 8.5.0.1 now supports multiple PSKs (MPSK) for the same SSID. This means that each client
connected to the PSK based SSID will have its own unique PSK that is not shared with the rest of the clients. This feature
requires Aruba ClearPass 6.8.x to be the authentication server.

from Aruba documentation:
Zero Touch Provisioning

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) enables the auto-configuration of factory default switches without a network administrator onsite.
When a switch is booted from its factory default configuration, ZTP autoprovisions the switch by automatically downloading and
installing a firmware file, a configuration file, or both.
With ZTP, even a nontechnical user (for example: a store manager in a retail chain or a teacher in a school)
can deploy devices at a site.


#handle with care ;-)
ztp force-provision
Usage
DHCP options received are processed independent of he current state of configuration on the switch.
Previous ZTP TFTP Server, Image File, Configuration File, Aruba Central Location, and HTTP Proxy location
options are cleared and the switch sends a DHCP request.
>> disable with "no ztp force-provision"

ArubaOS-CX wake on lan / ip directed broadcast

how to handle wake on lan packets on ArubaOS-CX switches?

using ip directed broadcast to get WOL (wake on LAN) running over different routed subnets.

On ArubaOS-CX switches IP directed broadcast is supported on:
- Route Only Port (ROP)
- Switched Virtual Interface (SVI)
- Layer 3 Link Aggregation Group (L3LAG) interfaces

example:
turn ip directed broadcast on for vlan 999:
switch(config)# interface vlan 999
no shutdown
ip address 10.0.21.1/24
ip directed-broadcast

> now all ip directed broadcast will be "broadcasted" to all members in vlan 999

> ACL (Access lists) can be used to only allow this ip-directed broadcast from specific ip-adresses,
for example only ip 10.0.20.20 is allowed to send wol
access-list ip ipdb
10 permit udp 10.0.20.20 any eq 7
100 deny udp any any eq 7

#apply access list on interface where the packets are initiated
interface vlan500
apply access-list ip ipdb routed-in


#commands
show ip interface vlan999 #show ip directed broadcast status on interface
show ip directed-broadcast #gives you an overview where ip directed broadasts are enabled

how to use wol.exe to initiate a ip directed broadcast packet:

wol.exe <<destination mac>> /d 10.0.21.255

- see also: HPE Aruba Wired Enforcement Guide
- 802.1x on windows: services > Wired AutoConfig > set to automatic
after service is enabled, an "authentication" tab is visable in the network settings of the interface
>> decide between user or computer authentication
- in clearpass create a network device + a shared secret
- port bounce: interface 1/x/x > shutdown > no shutdown
- in clearpass create a a 802.1X Wired service, choose active directory as authenticaton source


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #2 Wired User Roles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rolebased access with local user roles
- best practise enable accounting: aaa accounting port-access start-stop interim 60 group clearpass
- best practise enable client visability:
client track ip #enable on global level
vlan xx
client track ip #enable per vlan
#on uplink port do a: client track ip disable
- in Clearpass Enforcement profile assign a role: for example admin
- create role on switch:
port-access role admin
vlan access name Management VLAN
- check on switch with: show port-access clients
- make username visable > create enforcement profile that reads out the username and sends it back via radius,
than the "show port-access client" will also show the username,
you can make the same with the computername

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #4 Wired MAC Authentication
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- default setting the switch will first try and timeout for 802.1X before it attempts MAC Authentication,
default timeout is 2 minutes and 30 seconds
>> solution: port-access onboarding-method concurrent enable
- configure the Profiling tab in our service to automatically trigger a port bounce as soon as ClearPass profiles a new or changed device.
- Clearpasss Radius Mac Authentication service
- enable Profile Endpoints
- Authentication Method: Allow All Mac Auth (with All only "known" endpoints are considered)
- Authentication Source: Endpoint Repository (so you can use the profiling information)
- Profiler: Radius CoA Action > AOS-CX Bounce Port, triggered it to "Any category / OS Family / Name",
so if the device is connection the first time it will be bounced, and we know the device type


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #5 Wired MAC Enforcement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
allow role based traffice for the endpoint

- define some classes, like: "class ip class-dns", "class ip class-private", "class ip class-pbx"
- bring the classes together to policies:
port-access policy pol-internet
10 class ip class-dhcp
20 class ip class-dns
30 class ip class-private action drop
40 class ip class-any
- port-access role profiler
associate policy pol-profile
vlan access name Untrusted VLAN
- port-access role machine
vlan access name Corporate VLAN
- port-access role voip
associate policy pol-voip
vlan access name Voice VLAN

- in clearpass define roles, and define rolemapping
- in clearpass define enforcement profiles, to return the role names, for example:
Radius:Aruba > Aruba-User-Role(1) = voip
Radius:Aruba > Aruba-User-Role(1) = profiler

- check with "show port-access clients" on switch

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aruba ClearPass Workshop (2021) - AOS-CX Wired #6 Wired Device behind phone - AP with tagged VLANs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- allow more devices behind a port:
interface 1/1/1-1/1/24
aaa authentication port-access client-limit 3 #default is one
- show client ip
- special role for a accesspoint, the special thing is the "auth-mode":
port-access role instant-ap
vlan trunk native name Management VLAN
vlan trunk allowed name Guest1 VLAN
vlan trunk allowed name Guest2 VLAN
auth-mode device-mode
- auth-mode:
client-mode: authenticate all devices
device-mode: authenticate just the first device
multi-domain: authentication for the native vlan and one for the voice vlan

- check with "show port-access clients" >> Authentication Mode should be seen as "device-mode"

checkmk performance tuning

usually your checkmk site is becoming bigger and bigger .. this could lead to error messagen and performance issues if there are many services and hosts to be monitored

> use global fetcher and checker settings to optimize execution of checks. The
> settings can be found under Setup > General > Global settings:

> Use spearate fetchers and checkers should be on!

- fetchers:
they make the network communication, for example the snmp query or the query for the checkmk agent.
This query takes some time and uses about 30MB per process
Rule: increase that number, if you have enough free memory left on the server

- checker:
the checker processes are processing the collected data from the fetchers. A checker needs at least 90MB. Use only so many checkers as your machine has cores!
Rule: Use only so many checkers as your machine has cores!

sample snmpwalk command to get out, some information from the vsa:

#default community string ist public
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <vsa-ip-address> .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.19

some interesting snmp mib variables can be found in the file "LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NSM-CLUSTERING-MIB.mib", which can be found on the internet

for example:

clusModuleStorageStatus storage status of a module .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.19
clusModuleRaidStatus RAID status of a module .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.10
clusModuleName hostname of module .1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.4
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9804.3.1.1.2.12.46.1.2


>> have this knowledge, you can easily build a simple perl script that queries the information from the VSA and formats to "checkmk" format, so that it can be used as an "individual script":

IMC license transfer

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-a00052171en_us

------------------------


IMC license transfer instructions (text only):

IMC license keys are locked to the software serial number.

If you move your IMC licenses to another computer or a new VM a new IMC software serial number will be created.
To obtain a fresh license key for the new software serial number, you need to transfer the IMC licenses from the old software serial number to the new one.

Before you start the license transfer make a note of the current IMC software serial number and the new IMC software serial number.

An IMC license transfer will move all the licenses to the new serial number.

IMC licenses can be transferred up to 3 times without Customer Support assistance.

- Step 1: Sign in to the My Networking account where the current IMC serial number is registered.
My Networking portal: http://hpe.com/networking/mynetworking/

- Step 2: On the home page/dashboard, select “Transfer licenses to new platform”.
Note: There are several paths to the transfer license pages such as the My License dropdown menu, on the My Licenses page and from the License Details page.

- Step 3: On the Transfer Licenses page, enter the current IMC software serial number in the Search field and click Search. All the licenses registered to the software serial number will be displayed for your review.

- Step 4: Click the Select icon (>>) to the right of the platform license. This will open the License Details page.
Review the license information to confirm this is the serial number whose licenses will be transferred to the new serial number.
Click Next to proceed.

- Step 5: On the Transfer licenses to a new platform page, enter the new IMC software serial number in the Target serial number* field and click the Transfer button.

- Step 6A successful transfer will display a confirmation page with the new license key file and the transfer details for each license.

- Last Step: Download and install the license key file.

checkmk network monitoring -> best practice when monitoring all network ports

idea comes from article "3 rules to rule them all" by Alexander Wilms
( https://checkmk.com/de/blog/network-monitoring-with-checkmk-2-0 )

1) rename important switch ports on the devices, e.g. uplink_server1, access_point
> a problem is: some vendors use the SNMP table Alias, others the table Description
> solution: 2 x checkmk rules ( 1 x alias + 1 x decription) +
>> define a new Host Tag "if_alias_desc" / Title: Interface: by Alias/by Description
>>> Tag ID: default - Title: default
>>> Tag ID: if_alias - Title: use Alias
>>> Tag ID: if_desc - Title: use Description

2) rule to discover all network ports:
> Network interface and switch port discovery > create 2 new rules
> >from "Use Index" to "Use alias" and condition tag "use Alias" + Condations for this rule to apply: Match all interfaces

3) rule to separete access ports from "vip" ports
Services > Service monitoring > new rule: Network interfaces and switch ports

3.1: rule for access ports, name is for example 0001:
- Operating speed: ignore speed
- Operational state: ignroe the operational state
- port specification: \d+ || Gigabit Ethernet || and more
- maybe use label condition: cmk/device_type:switch
wget is a very useful linux command line tool:

>>> Wget - The non-interactive network downloader.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

to make a offline copy of a webpage just run this command:

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent http://your-page-to-backup
problem:
the lan ports of the switches, where the aruba access points are connected, are showing regular errors .. giant packets etc.

solution:
the default settings of the aruba ap's is, that they are doing a path MTU discovery every minute, to find out the best MTU size for them.
if you want to stop this "unnecessary traffic" you need to define a static value:

>> on wlan controller:
ap-group ->> ap system profile ->> AP system profile has an mtu parameter that you can change to 1500 or less.

at the moment there is no easy method that "I know" - to set for example 200 printer endpoints from unkown to know in a easy way!

the methods that are know by me, are at the moment:

1) Export selected endpoints / edit xml file / import xml list
--go to Identity > Endpoints and run a filter to select your endpoints that needs to be changed.
-- press "Export All" at the right top
-- save to a xml file: Endpoint.xml
-- open the xml file in a text editor like Notepad++ and press <STRG> +<H> to replace a string: search for status="Unknown" and replace it through: status="Known"
-- import the file to clearpass under Identity > Endpoints

2) manual selection of several endpoints
-- go to Monitoring > Profiler and Network Scan > Endpoint Profiler and run a filter to select your endpoints that needs to be changed. To see the Filter section press on "Change Filter Selection"
-- after you selected some endpoints make sure to press "Hide Filter Selection" then you will see the buttons "Mark Known" or "Mark Unknown" again .. and press "Mark Known" if you want to set them to known

add an Aruba CX switch with existing configuration to Aruba Central

1) switch# show system
note serial + mac-address

2) Aruba Central > greenlake > add device >> using serial + mac-address
2.1) make sure license is assigned (that you have a licence available)

3) on device make sure that Aruba-Central is not in "disable" mode, to enable it run a "Aruba-Central" > "enable",
check with command "show Aruba-Central" on device, if the connection to Aruba Central is there

4) in Aruba Central > go to Global
4.1) Under Maintain > Organization > Groups you should find now an unprovisioned device,
add the device to a new group, press "preserve" configuration if you want to keep the config

Configuration -> System
- Show Advanced options: Deny local routing (if this is not enabled users that are connected to the same access point can connect to each other!! (a connect between different vlan's works - security issue?!!))
help text from aruba = If you have security and traffic management policies defined in upstream devices, you can use this option to disable routing traffic between two clients on the same AP on different VLANs.
Routing traffic between the clients will be sent to the upstream device to make the forwarding decision.
https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Instant_41_Mobile/Advanced/Content/UG_files/GeneralConfTasks/Adv_conf_tasks/ConfigureLocalRouting.htm
there is a document from hpe, regarding routing behavior:
https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00100349en_us

see details in the mentioned document ...

if you use both interfaces, always consider how the behavior of ClearPass is ...

for example - one important rule is:
"If the destination network is not in either management or data subnets, then we use the data interface by default. "
sample config on ArubaCX:

port-access role testrole1
auth-mode device-mode
reauth-period 3600
cached-reauth-period 28800
vlan trunk native 1
vlan trunk allowed 1-50


needed Radius attribute:

see aruba tac:
https://community.arubanetworks.com/blogs/arunhasan11/2020/10/20/what-cause-iap-does-not-have-a-cloud-activate-key

----------------------

nstant AP is unable to communicate with device.arubanetworks.com via HTTP/HTTPS.


>> information from the tac page:
1. Can the Instant AP resolve device.aruabnetworks.com?
From CLI of Instant AP ping device.arubanetworks.com
If no resolution check the Instant AP is configured with a DNS server to send DNS queries to Use CLI command ‘show summary support | include NameServer’

2. Can the Instant AP route to device.arubanetworks.com?
From CLI of Instant AP ping device.arubanetworks.com
If there is no response it may just be that ICMP is blocked along the path. HTTP and HTTPS may still be allowed.

3. Are HTTP and HTTPS blocked by a firewall along the path?
Connect a PC to a port in the same vlan/subnet as the master Instant AP. Telnet to port 80 and 443, on device.arubanetworks.com.

If above is working and still IAP doesn't have cloud activation key, kindly contact Aruba TAC with above details.
2 methods are available (at least)

1) use dhcp snooping

turn on:
(SW)<config># dhcp-snooping enable
(SW)<config># dhcp-snooping vlan 99
(SW)<config># show dhcp-snooping
>> define trusted interface where the dhcp answers are coming from, for example interface 49 (your uplink)

see the clients: (Switch)<config># show dhcp-snooping binding


2) client tracker

turn on: (SW)<config># ip client-tracker
see the clients: show port-access clients

KNX IP devices - with aruba os switches

----------------------------------------------------------------------
>> for communication the multicast default address is 224.0.23.12 !
>> it is very important that igmp is configured, and on of the switches has the igmp querier role !
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The IP routing multicast address defines the destination address for the IP messages of KNX IP devices.
The default address 224.0.23.12 is the address for KNXnet/IP devices set by the KNX Association in conjunction with IANA.
This address should be maintained and only changed if the existing network requires the use of a different address.

By default, these messages are sent as multicast messages to the multicast IP address 224.0.23.12, port 3671.


------------------------------------------
Configuration on Arubo OS switch side
------------------------------------------

- own vlan, for example vlan 100 name knx

- configure all knx ip devices to be in vlan 100 (untagged)

- enable igmp on the switch and the vlan!
(1) set ip lookup mode, to be able to use igmp version 3
>> igmp lookup-mode ip

(2)
>enable igmp in the vlan, and assign for example port 1 to 5 on the switch, also give the switch an ip address so that the igmp network can have a querier!
>> vlan 100
name "knx"
untagged 1-5
ip address 10.24.100.50 255.255.255.0
ip igmp
ip igmp version 3
exit

- igmp show commands
(1)
show ip igmp groups

show ip igmp
> here you should see the Querier Address



- how to see the igmp messages? debugging on switch
>> debug ip igmp
>> debug destination session
>> to turn off, say: no debug ip igmp

you should see messages like this:
0008:18:05:26.57 IGMP mIpPktRecv: Received an IGMP v3 membership report; VID:100

##############################################################################
#
# This script is designed to retrieve the ARP table entries for a router using
# the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and display them in a
# human-readable format.
#
# The script first sets SNMP credentials and the target router IP address,
# then retrieves VLAN names from the IF-MIB::ifName table using the snmpwalk
# command. The VLAN names are stored in an associative array called vlannames.
# The script then walks the IP-MIB::ipNetToMediaPhysAddress table to retrieve
# ARP table entries, which contain IP addresses, MAC addresses, and VLAN IDs.
# The script uses the VLAN IDs to look up the corresponding VLAN names in the
# vlannames array, and then prints out the IP address, MAC address, VLAN name,
# and VLAN ID in a formatted table.
#
# Overall, this script provides a quick and easy way to retrieve and view ARP
# table entries for a router, which can be useful for troubleshooting network
# issues or monitoring network activity.
#
# usage: ./getArpFromRouter.pl

QinQ is a networking technology that stands for "Quality in Quality". It is also known as VLAN stacking or VLAN double tagging. QinQ is an extension of the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging standard and allows service providers to transport multiple VLANs over a single physical link between two switches or routers.

In a QinQ scenario, two VLAN tags are added to Ethernet frames, with the outer tag used to identify the service provider's VLAN and the inner tag used to identify the customer's VLAN. This allows service providers to provide multiple customers with VLAN services over a single physical link, while also ensuring that each customer's VLAN remains isolated and secure from other customers' VLANs.

QinQ is commonly used in metropolitan area networks (MANs) and wide area networks (WANs) to provide connectivity between customer sites and service provider networks. It is also used in data center environments to provide isolation and segregation of different virtualized networks.

Overall, QinQ technology is an important tool for service providers and network engineers to ensure efficient and secure network communication between different VLANs over a single physical link.

If you encounter a problem with the bandwidth limit on aruba's access points the fritzbox might be the problem.

To solve the bandwdith limit not working properly you have to go to:

Fritz!Box >> home-network >> network >> remove (to remove all inactive devices)

For all active devices go to:

device >> pencil >> reset

This was tested with the firmware (fritzbox): 161.07.29

tp-link - Range extender - essential things to know

model: RE330EU

setup
---------
1) via the Tether App (Apple Store / Google Play) > you need a TP-Link ID for that!

2) via web browser:
- connect to wifi network: TP-Link_Extender,
- visit http://tplinkrepeater.net or http://192.168.0.254 > create password and login

3) via wps button
- press wps button on your router
- within 2 minutes press the wps button on the extender for 1 second

no ssh logins possible anymore! Maximum number of sessions

Problem:
Aug 18 17:48:46 yourservername sshd[9846]: pam_systemd(sshd:session): Failed to create session: Maximum number of sessions (…sessions.

solution:
- see "man sshd_config" parameter MaxSessions:
MaxSessions
Specifies the maximum number of open shell, login or subsystem (e.g. sftp) sessions permitted per network connection. Multiple
sessions may be established by clients that support connection multiplexing. Setting MaxSessions to 1 will effectively disable
session multiplexing, whereas setting it to 0 will prevent all shell, login and subsystem sessions while still permitting for?
warding. The default is 10.
>> default is 10

let it increase to 20:

file /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
new line with:
MaxSessions 20

and restart sshd: /etc/init.d/ssh restart
steps to do:

#goto default directory
cd /etc/default

#make a backup of grub config
cp -p grub grub.save.original

#edit file /etc/default/grub >> change there the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=ttyS0 console=tty0"

#aktivate the settings by running the command:
update-grub . /boot/grub/grub.cfg

>> now reboot and connect using a serial cable and a tool like Tera Term VT or a putty serial connection, make sure to use only 9600bps as setting.
>> enjoy this new feature, you can now administrate the machien without a display ;-)

STP Spanning tree

STP comes with extra features that help keep the network stable. Here's a simple explanation of these features and when to use them:

Root Guard: This stops devices from sending certain kinds of messages on certain connections. Use Root Guard on certain connections to make sure the main part of the network stays stable. Don't use it on connections between important switches.

Admin Edge: This lets a connection start working without waiting. It's good for connections with only one device or with a computer connected to a phone. But be careful, because it might not catch network problems. Only use Admin Edge on connections facing devices like computers.

BPDU Guard: This automatically stops certain messages from being sent on certain connections. You should usually activate this feature on specific ports that connect to devices used by users, like computers or printers, on access switches. BPDU Guard is especially helpful because it ensures that BPDUs are not received on access ports, which prevents loops and, importantly, guards against spoofed BPDU packets. This means it adds an extra layer of protection against fake or deceptive messages in the network.

BPDU Filter: This ignores certain messages on a connection and doesn't send its own messages. It's used in special cases, like when different groups want separate networks. Normally, it's best not to use BPDU Filter, unless you're in a specific situation.

Loop Protect: This is like a backup system for STP. It can find problems when a device causes a loop but doesn't follow STP rules. It stops connections when it senses a loop and restarts them when the problem is fixed. Use this for all the connections facing devices to avoid accidental loops. Don't use it on important connections in the network.

Fault Monitor: This watches for big traffic or errors in connections. It can log events, send alerts, or temporarily stop a connection. Turn on Fault Monitor to get alerts for recognized problems, and use it on all connections for a stable network. But don't use the "stop" feature with Fault Monitor, because Loop Protect handles that.

version 2.2.1 > upgrade to 2.9.0

> netedit userguide for 2.9.0:
-- chapter "Upgrade to Debian 10", since with the release of NetEdit 2.4.0 Debian 10 (Buster) is the base operating system
-- console logon to NetEdit 2.2.1, follow the instructions from the userguide to upgrade Debian 9 to Debian 10
-- after following all steps reboot the machine
-- login to netedit webuser frontend again > click on the ? in the right corner > and select Upgrade NetEdit > upload the file "Aruba_Netedit_2.9.0_upgrade.tar.gz" > press upgrade after upload
#nice network flow view
Tenants > Security Policies
>> instead of Table View choose Network Graph in the right corner above

Best practise for rules
- assign policy to egress direction
- assign a bigger vrf policy to the vrf, but there things like deny ssh, or allow rdp only for this hosts
- network policies attached to vlan's for more specific rules
- allows consider: if you assign an empty policy to a network or vrf it means "deny any"!!

#persona best practice > always access except special vsx ports
- interface 1/1/1-1/1/47 > persona access
- interface 1/1/48 > no persona (vsx keepalive)
- interface 1/1/49+50 > no persona (vsx isl)
- interface 1/1/51-54 > persona access

in german: Resourcenmonitor via taskmanager

an alternative program is tcpview in case you want to understand who is talking to whom on the network stack: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview
tcpview it gives you deep insight above network connectivity
check_snmp_firecluster.sh is a script to monitor watchguard's cluster status,
the script can be downloaded here:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Network-Gear/Others/check_snmp_firecluster/details
=======================================================

-----------------------
Problem:
-----------------------
check_snmp_firecluster.sh > does not run on ubuntu 22.04 minimal installation


-----------------------
Solution:
-----------------------
#analysing the script:

#working example
snmpget -t 10 -v 1 -c public 192.168.2.10 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3097.6.6.9.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3097.6.6.9.0 = INTEGER: 3

#not working example
snmpget -t 10 -v 1 -c pnpub 192.168.2.10 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3097.6.6.9.0
iso.3.6.1.4.1.3097.6.6.9.0 = INTEGER: 3


>> the problem is that the parsing of the result was failing, since there where only numeric oid's


>> so let's turn on SNMP mibs, in file /etc/snmp/snmp.conf:
# As the snmp packages come without MIB files due to license reasons, loading
# of MIBs is disabled by default. If you added the MIBs you can reenable
# loading them by commenting out the following line.
#mibs :
mibs SNMPv2-SMI

>> the line mibs SNMPv2-SMI was added after that the snmpget commands receives "SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3097.6.6.9.0 = INTEGER: 3" as result and the parsing was ok again

the following messages is coming before end of time:
WARNING Please "checkpoint auto confirm" within 2 minutes

info from HPE page (see link below):
------------------------------------------------------
Usage

To save the runtime checkpoint permanently, run the checkpoint auto confirm command during the time lapse value set by the checkpoint auto <TIME-LAPSE-INTERVAL> command. The generated checkpoint name will be in the format AUTO<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>. If the checkpoint auto confirm command is not entered during the specified time lapse interval, the previous runtime configuration is restored.
