Re: SH RUN reveals encrypted password

2001-01-28 Thread Matthew . Sypherd


Guys,

 I think we're on the right track now.  Of course, you don't have to
lower the priv level of the command to 1, instead put it at, say, 14. Then
make sure those users you want to have this access are given a privilege
level of 14.  This can be done either locally or at the TACACS+ server.
Locally, assign a user as:

 username johnchambers password ciscoceo privilege 14

Set the "show running-config" command to be at level 14 like this:

 privilege exec level 14 show running-config
 privilege exec level 1 show

 (I think the second one is necessary, because if you don't use it,
then you get as an "added bonus" the line "privilege exec level 14 show",
which disables all show commands from any priv level under 14. - Please
correct me if I'm wrong)

 Does anyone know how to get these commands out of your config without
reloading?  Prepending a "no" just reverts the command back to default, but
it still displays in the config.

 Look in your documentation as to how to do this on your TACACS+ server

 Also, as a bit of a side note, if you give a user level 15 access,
when they log in, they immediately get an enable prompt.

Then stand corrected.. you must be in the privileged mode to execute
"show run".

CR357136-Csh run
   ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker. (the caret should be under the r)

To get to the privileged mode you must invoke the "enable password" (unless
you're using autocommand or tacacs+ that does something automatically for
you)

Also I guess you could lower the sh run command from priv 15 to priv 1 but
I
don't think you'd want to do that.

 Hi,

 Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you need the enable password to perform
a "show run".  If you do then why decrypt it.

 router#service password encryption

 encrypts it to a level 7.

RE: CCIE Written Beta results -

2001-01-13 Thread Matthew . Sypherd



I received my results yesterday as well.  I also missed it by 2 points.
(grumble grumble)  I actually should feel pretty good about it, because I
took it on a whim. I passed the R/S CCIE Written the prior week and decided
to "Press my luck" for on the security test without any studying.
Unfortunately I got the "Whammy".  It was well worth the $50, though.
Others have said that the silver lining here is that we can now really
focus on the R/S lab.  However, as I am starting to work towards security
as a specialization for my career, I'm not going to be able to pull myself
away.  However, being that there is apparently some security showing up in
the lab, there is definitely overlap. Does anyone have any idea as to
whether that will change when the Security lab comes out?

Re: dream lab

2000-12-07 Thread Matthew . Sypherd


Hey everyone,

 Don't forget the satellite uplinks to test that pesky delay!

On a serious note, do many of you have non-Cisco layer 2 or above devices
in your labs, other than servers/hosts?  I realize this wouldn't help too
much with specific Cisco certification, but I imagine would be potentially
invaluable for real-world multi-vendor situations.

I got my hands on a cheap 3Com LanModem to play with RIP interoperability
(doesn't do much else, SFAIK) and I can use it for testing dial-backup.
Other than that, I play with Checkpoint FW-1 (primarily NT with a little
Solaris added in) but have yet to test with my 2600 CSIS.  In due time

Re: Scripts for IOS upgrades

2000-11-17 Thread Matthew . Sypherd


Tammy,

 Have you considered using CiscoWorks2000 RME software distribution
feature?  I haven't actually used it myself, but if it works like it looks
it should, it might be just what you are looking for.  Perhaps someone with
experience using this could give a better and more in depth response.

 As I understand it, you load software images into RME and it evaluates
the routers to see if they support it them and then uploads when specified.

 Of course, scripts are a lot less expensiveAnd it may take more
time getting CiscoWorks2000 installed and working exactly the way you want
than actually upgrading all of the routers, but hey.

 If you do come up with scripts for this, I'd be interested in looking
at them.

Re: Summarization (Doyle's book)

Daniel,

 My Doyle book is at home (I know, I should carry it with me at all
times), but...I think the answer /23 is correct.  If you consider your
chart below, the first 7 bits (0001 000) are the same, not just the first
4.  Add those 7 to the previous 16 bits from the first two octets and you
get 23 bits in the mask.  Remember that the summarization is based on the
number of matching bits in the different addresses - those bits can be
either 1s or 0s.

Re: conf-reg challenge

2000-11-03 Thread Matthew . Sypherd


Groupstudy,

I received a few responses to the challenge.  Most of you probably thought
you knew it and passed it by.

Surprise.  The answer is D, not A as every person who e-mailed me guessed.
I should note that a few people did recognize that there was a trick, but
still guessed A.

Here's the scoop.  conf-reg expects a hex value.  In the question below, I
assigned a decimal value.
2102=0x836.  So, in essence, I actually ran the command:
router(config)#config-register 0x836

If you investigate the bit details of the config-register command, you'll
find that bits 12 and 11 (counting from 0 from the right) specify the
console port speed.

Normally, when the config register is set to 0x2102, the port speed is 9600
(view this in a fixed width font, if possible - hopefully the tabs will
line up)

hex   2 1 0  2
binary0010  0001     0010
 |  |
 bits 12 and 11 (counting from 0 from the right) set to 00, which is
9600 bps

But, decimal 2102, or hex 0x836, changes the port speed to 4800
hex   0 8 3  6
binary  1000  0011   0110
 |  |
 bits 12 and 11 (counting from 0 from the right) set to 01, which is
4800 bps

Those two bits have the following values:
9600 0 0
4800 0 1
1200 1 0
2400 1 1

for reference on the config-register command, see
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/l3sw/8540/cnfg_gd/ccfg8540.htm
(this link is for the 8540, but is applicable to the standard conf-reg)

Re: Escape sequence

2000-10-31 Thread Matthew . Sypherd


Brad,

I believe that you just need the control-shift-6 part of that.  This is
important if you happen to be telneting/reverse-telnetting through another
router to where you are attempting to run the trace.  If you use
ctrl-shft-6-x, you'll get kicked back to the previous router.  For example

termservr1
Trying r1 (10.1.1.1)... Open
r1trace www.groupstudy.com
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to www.groupstudy.com (208.32.175.78)
1  *  *  *
2  *  *  *
3  *  *  *  [ctrl-shft-6]
r1  --- just takes you back to the CLI
r1trace www.groupstudy.com
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to www.groupstudy.com (208.32.175.78)
1  *  *  *
2  *  *  *
3  *  *  *  [ctrl-shft-6-x]
termserv--- kicks you back to the term server

Hope this helps.  At least it'll save time logging back into the router multiple times 
trying to run multiple traces.

Re: Connecting to Console port - recover to factory settings?

2000-10-28 Thread Matthew . Sypherd


Hey everyone,

 I've been having a problem with a 4000M.  I was working on recovering
a password and when I rebooted I just got screen garbage (diamonds,
squares, squigglies, etc.).  Now, while some people may find this more
aesthetically pleasing than the Cisco IOS, it's not exactly what I'm
looking for.  I have a feeling that somehow I inadvertently changed the
baud rate during my attempted password recovery.  Unfortunately, this lab
router was just write erased, so I can't connect to any network interfaces.
So, I pose these three questions:

 1) Is there any mildly easy way to reset a 4000M back to factory state
(9600 8N1 or 8N2 - depending on documentation)

 2) Am I going to have to sit and try all the possible
terminalspeed/databits/parity/stopbits combos until I stumble upon it?

 3) Does anyone have another suggestion?

 Thanks,

Subject:  Re: Connecting to Console port (How to issue a BREAK with mint
  hyperterminal)


Oh dear, not the hyperterminal thread again, this was my first thought as i
have
read the original question. I agree, there are many execellent terminal
emulators
out there. But just imagine that you go to a customer and have to use one
of their
computers to rescue a router.  Wanna ask the customer to download xxx-term
that
you can work with ? Chances are very good that hyperterminal is on the
customers
computer, so we should know how to use it ...

To issue a break signal with genuine Hyperterminal you can use this method:

Connect as usual to the router and set a very low baudrate in hyperterm. I
use
110 as example. Now just press a few different keys repeatedly. Thies
issued the
break signal. Now switch back to 9600 bits per second and continue the
usual
procedure.

Hi

I've heard that HyperTerminal is not good for connecting to the console
port
on Cisco routers. If this is the case, can anyone recommend an alternative
please.

Thanks
