IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA1 host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA1 key sent by the remote host is
ba:07:12:e4:ed:21:7f:d3:45:07:6b:37:fc:36:0a:04.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/jens/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this
message.
Offending key in /home/jens/.ssh/known_hosts:2
RSA1 host key for cf17.jhb.nha.co.za has changed and you have requested
strict checking.
Host key verification failed.


I am not sure under what conditions the ssh key for a PIX 515 would change -
I have confirmed that it is not a DNS problem and confirmed that there are
no private machines in between the workstation and the PIX firewall.

I do know that we hade maintenance work done on the power in the computer
room over the weekend = a reboot of the PIX - but why would that cause a
change to its identification?

Any clues/pointers?

Thanks  Regards
Jens

This means that someone changed the rsa key on the PIX and that is only

Verify with your guys that they changed nothing - otherwise it could be a

That is what I suspect or perhaps an overzealous engineer.

Does one specify the RSA key for SSH (is it the same as the one for the
IPSEC stuff)

How would one change such a thing? I don't remember having to ever create
one during the initial installation?

PS: I rebooted the box and noticed that the key once again changed - could
this problem be as a result of a corrupt flash card?

2003-02-10 Thread Andrew Larkins
The RSA key pair is generated when you want to enable SSH access to the unit
Command for this is  ca generate rsa key . You need to have
configured the hostname and domain name before using this command.

remember to do the ca save all afterwards. Try that and see if the key
changes again after a reload. 

As far as I remember (rather rusty here), the RSA key pair is saved to some
other memory on the PIX (anyone correct me if I am wrong)

As for your IPSec question - are you using certificates or preshared keys.
If you are using certificates, then I think it is the same key - depends on
how you set it up originally (There are 2 key type - general and special) if
you never specified this, then a general key is created.

let us know how it goes

2003-02-10 Thread Jens von Bülow
Andrew,

Of interest is that the RSA key was generated sometime after my reboot of
the router. It looks like PDM (because this was the only way I could access
the device) created a new key for me or at some point... Not sure when...

Anyway, I ca zeroize rsa, ca generate rsa key and ca save alled my ca
stuff.

It now behaves as expected through a reboot.

One question though? How do I trust my PIX again? (FWIW - We archive the
configs of the PIX on a regular basis and the config hasn't changed)

Anybody else ever seen their ca configs break during a power cycle?

Regards
Jens

OT OT Friday Funny Warning for Oct 28th [7:23523]

2001-10-19 Thread Paul Trygar

WARNING

Don't go to the bathroom on October 28th!

   CIA intelligence reports that a major plot is planned for that day. Anyone
who takes a poop on the 28th will be bitten on the ass by an alligator.
Reports indicate that organized groups of alligators are planning to rise up
into unsuspecting American's toilet bowls and bite them when they are doing
their dirty business.

   I usually don't send emails like this, but I got this information from a
reliable source:  It came from a friend of a friend whose cousin is dating
this girl whose brother knows this guy whose wife knows this lady whose
husband buys hot-dogs from this guy who knows a shoeshine guy who shines the
shoes of a mailroom worker who has a friend who's drug dealer sells drugs to
another mailroom worker who works in the CIA building.  He apparently
overheard two guys talking in the bathroom about alligators and came to the
conclusion that we are going to be attacked.  So it must be true.

OT: 12.2(5) on 2600 - Warning [7:23448]

2001-10-18 Thread John Neiberger

I decided to remotely upgrade a 2620 up to 12.2(5) today and ran into a
particularly nasty feature.  It appears that it may have something to do
with FRTS, but I'm not certain.  With no circuit connected the router
would boot just fine.  If it boots with the frame relay T1 connected, it
will get a SegV Exception and continuously reboot.

So, as usual, use the new releases at your own risk, but be
particularly wary of this release.  By the way, 12.2(3) running DLSw+,
EIGRP, LLQ, FRTS, and SDLC seems to work quite well so far.  One of
those features seems to be quite broken in 12.2(5).

Regards,
John

I have to agree with many, if not all the points raised by everybody.
My humble take is that there are  4 types of knowledge a great, capable of
hands on, design, etc. network engineer should have in the perfect world.
CCIE or not.  Bear in mind that I am talking about a network engineer that
basically works with the equipment and maintains and designs networks.
Other types of network engineers that design hardware, software, and
protocols will come under a way different set of rules I would think.

1. Basic network and protocol knowledge:
This should be how all layer 2, 3, 4 and many layer 7 protocols work
including the management plane protocols, routing protocols, STP, etc.  Not
necessarily what all the frame/packet/segment structures look like and where
and what each field in the PDU is and does. But enough PDU structure to know
what the engineer is looking at and understand how they work.  Although this
is all excellent knowledge to have, I think it's improbable (at least for
me) to know all the PDU structures in detail.  The main thing is to know the
behaviors (especially TCP) and how things can go right or wrong.  Some layer
1 stuff is good to know too!! Like what does it mean when I have slips on my
T1 interface or how a DS-3 works. Other things are cabling issues, what box
does what, where do I use a certain box (bridge vs.router, etc.), design
best practices, security issues and techniques.  Also host behavior and
configuration knowledge is invaluable.  I'm sure I left out a bunch of
stuff, but that is what I see as important(in my limited experience) to know

Most, if not all of number 1 can be learned by reading books, RFC's white
papers, etc.  Hands on experience will certainly help.

2.  Platform specific configuration:
It's great to know all the above stuff, but If I can't make it happen on
whatever I am configuring be it Cisco, Foundry, Extreme, or whatever.  I am
of little use as a hands on engineer.  It's nice to know how EIGRP installs
a feasible successor,  But if I can't get my routes to propagate correctly
because I left out no auto summary, that knowledge doesn't serve me like
it should.  OT.  Why Cisco doesn't remove ALL classfull behavior from that
damn protocol is beyond me!!  Again, I believe it's improbable to know how
to configure everything on even one vender or platform.  But, the engineer
should know when to punt and ask for help.  Or know how to access and find
the information he/she requires.  And I don't just mean calling TAC :)  Even
though the wonderful people at TAC have gotten my ass out of a ringer many
times.

The Items in Number 2 comes from some book knowledge. But hands on
experience is key.  The experience of producing a complex config and
fighting to make it work is the best teacher I know of. Be it in a lab or
live network.  I never forgot the first time I got a DS-3 of ATM with about
15 pvcs to work.  Or even the first time I brought up a simple frame link
and pinged across and watched my routing table to grow !!!  It was almost
better than sex !!(don't tell my wife please !!)  I know, I'm sick. :/

3.  Experience, PERIOD !!
Many a time it has been when I fought to get something to work and couldn't.
I checked the config against CCO, changed IOS's,  changed modules, changed
my underwear, etc.  Ending calling up a more knowledgeable peer to have her
tell me: Oh, it's BLA, BA BLA.  Type in  the undocumented BLA BA BLA and
it will work.  That is why having peers and is essential to survival in
this business.  Everybody of Group study is my peer whom I glean information
and support.  I am a firm believer in no man/women is an island' !!  And
NOBODY knows everything.

4.  The ability, motivation, and tenacity to solve problems, learn, and do a
good job. (self explanatory)

I believe no attribute in itself is the most important,  we need all of
them.
Sorry everybody for the long post.  I'll refrain from posting for a while.

Tony
All good points in your post. As you wrote NOBODY knows anything and if you
continue to believe that after geting your CCIE there is great future for
you because you will never cease to learn and to develop both personally and
profesionally.
I am currently studying for CIT and IMHO it is really importand to
understand OSI layers because you can learn to troubleshoot bottom up (from
physical to data link to network and so on) and I believe that Cisco certs
are much more vendor-neutral compared to other certs. If you dont just cram
for tests and try to study in a broader perspective there is a lot to learn.
A lot of people talk about paper certs but the least likely to be paper
certs are CCIE and Red Hat because they have a lab section and that cannot
be passed by  cramming only without having hands-on experience (maybe lab
not real world but this is certainly better than none at all). I am glad
that at least something good came out of this long thread. I dont mean to
insult anyone but please ignore stupid journalists that dont know what it
takes to become a CCIE. Tony and other CCIE's in this list and the ones I
had the priviledge to work with demonstrate that being an expert while
remaining humble is the true sign of a wise person.

Virus/Worm Warning [7:8833]

2001-06-16 Thread Paul Borghese

I have been receiving a report of a worm being sent to people as a reply
from the list. At least one person on the list is infected with the badtrans
worm and may be spreading to others (this person has been removed from the
list).

Here is a link for more information:

http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The worm operates by responding to unopened e-mails with an attachment
saying Take a look to the attachment.

Please realize, the worm is not being passed through the GroupStudy server,
but instead sent directly from sender to recipient as if it was an off list
reply.  In fact, GroupStudy does not allow attachments so any worm will be
automatically removed.

If someone sends you a worm as a reply to an e-mail sent on the list, please
send me the e-mail address of the person for removal.  They may rejoin once
the worm has been cleared from their system.  It would also be nice to tell
the person about the worm so they can correct the problem.

Please understand, this worm is not being passed via the GroupStudy servers
so there is not a whole lot I can do from this end.  Just be careful when
opening attachments to replies from the list.

Note the infected email I received after I posted on [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I
advised the sender, but I thought you would want to know.  Below is the text
of the email, note the name of the attachment.  I have no idea what it does.

 Cisco warns of lower earnings



 'Difficult business decisions': Cisco's John Chambers

 After the US markets closed on Monday, Silicon Valley's largest company,
 Cisco Systems, cut its earnings and revenue forecasts.
 The tech giant, the worldwide leader in networking for the internet, said
 that sales for the third quarter would come in 30% lower than the previous
 three months.



 This may be the fastest any industry our size has ever decelerated


 John Chambers, Cisco chief executive

 The firm also announced plans to layoff 8,500 people, about 1,000 more
than
 it previously said last month.

 The company said that the current business environment had "never been
more
 challenging".

 Sales for the third quarter would be down around 30% from the second, when
 they reached $6.7bn (#4.66bn).

 The company said it expects its revenue for the fourth quarter to range
from
 flat to down 10%.

 Cisco blamed "global economic challenges, the slowdown in the global
telecom
 market and the deceleration in corporate information technology spending"
 for its troubles.

 "This may be the fastest any industry our size has ever decelerated, which
 has required us to make difficult business decisions at unprecedented
 speed," said Cisco chief executive John Chambers.

 Industry slowdown

 High tech stocks have plunged in recent months because of the slowdown in
 the US economy and a slump in spending by firms on information technology.

 Lucent Technologies, Nortel Networks and Cisco's other rivals have all
 either announced huge job cuts or have issued profits warnings.

 And more are expected this week, with a slew of firms reporting earnings.

 "My real concern is not about Cisco," said one analyst.

 "Relatively speaking, the company will do well, but if relatively well is
 having revenue difficulties to this order of magnitude, then it is
troubling
 for the industry".

 Cisco shares were reaching $15.90 in after hours trading on Monday, having
 closed on the Nasdaq at $17.20, where they had dropped 78 cents, or more
 than 4%.

 The stocks have plunged from a year high of nearly $72.

RE: Private Internet Addressing Warning! Off topic

2001-02-25 Thread Craig Lindstrom

Warning OFF TOPIC

Funny, my family owns a heating and air-conditioning business and the normal
way to look for a natural gas leak is with a match!  In fact the gas company
used to give us these little candles that were about a foot long to use to
check.  The only time I didn't use a lighter is if I smelled the raw gas,
then the leak was big enough to be concerned

Subject: Re: Private Internet Addressing


This remains a continuing thread on NANOG.

My personal view is that the world has certain ISPs, such as cais.net 
DSL and apparently US West in your example, that exist for the same 
reason as do warthogs:  to make roses even more beautiful.

Several major ISPs have this pernicious practice, which confuses 
traceroute (in several ways), reverse DNS, and MTU path discovery. 
They are ISPs with significant allocations of address space and 
should be able to get more.

I personally believe that anyone that uses private address space in a 
path where public traffic will EVER route through one of the 
addresses, is, at best, being irresponsible.  Sort of like looking 
for the gas leak with a lighted match.


I did a traceroute to one of US West's customers... got some 
interesting results:

13   206 ms  179 ms  123 ms  gig0-0-0.phnx-sust1.phnx.uswest.net

[130.13.102.120]

RFC 1918 - "Address Allocation for Private Internets" indicates 
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) is reserved
for private internets.  Hops 15 and 16 in my traceroute show that 
addresses within this range are being used publically.

Did I miss something?  Have the "for private use only" IP addresses 
now been given the green light to be used within the internet?

Re: Warning!!

2001-01-10 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

I'm really bothered by posts from anonymous or unverifiable email 
addresses that slam companies, countries, authors, immigration 
policies, and rumors about planned Cisco attacks.  When I make a 
public post, there's no question who is making it.

Is this Berkowitz just being crotchety, or does this mean anything to 
anyone's career?  I think the latter.  In the IETF, for example, 
there are people who have a lifelong reputation of trying to Do The 
Right Thing. Paul Vixie and Vint Cerf, for example, are people whose 
reputations are such that they can make comments about a competitor 
and have their statement accepted as true to the best of their 
knowledge.

Perhaps not at entry level, where the lower-level certifications are 
most important, but as one moves to higher levels, reputation is 
important. I am NOT saying not to make claims about things that 
irritate you. I am saying to do it, when you do, in a manner that 
helps your reputation and that of the industry as a whole.

Personally, I am close to killfiling groupstudy (and other technical) 
list posts that originate from throwaway email services such as 
hotmail.  Here's my reasoning.

If you don't use a free access service (e.g., free dialup/DSL for 
advertising), you have to be paying for an ISP, or gaining access via 
an employer, academic, or library account.

An ISP account normally includes POP3 access. The cost of additional 
mailboxes normally is trivial, if perhaps you want different 
mailboxes for personal and business matters.  Even if you need to get 
to your personal account from work, many intranets allow external 
POP3 connectivity.

If someone really needs the web-based mail interfaces of a 
hotmail-type service rather than using POP3 with any of a number of 
email clients (including browsers), I'd really be uncomfortable with 
them configuring my routers.

Believe me, someone who posts from an anonymous account, uses "email 
slang" such as "u" rather than "you," etc., is not improving their 
image in the industry. And image can't be ignored completely.

Please don't place excite.com in your killfile!  Our proxy server at work
blocks access to my real ISP account (AOL), along with most other mail
sites, but it does not block excite mail.  That's the only reason I use it. 
And my boss gets very upset if I use my work email address.  Apparently,
groupstudy mail has spam characteristics and is placed in a "holding cell"
to be later checked and released by my boss.  You can understand his
irritation with having a few hundred of those emails to wade through.  :-)

So, if you ever start killfiling those free mail services, please leave a
niche in there for my email address.  If you do, I promise to buy all three
of your books!  heh heh  Actually, I'm planning on getting them all
anyway, so I can't use that as a bribe.

then tried to delete it and bring it back up as a point-to-point. You will

That should enable you to change the frame type to multipoint.

But when configuring the second sub int I get the following.

frsw1(config)#int s0/0.1 point-to-point
frsw1(config-subif)#exit
frsw1(config)#int s0/0.2 point-to-point
% Warning:  cannot change link type

Which results in the following configuration

interface Serial0/0
 no ip address
 no ip mroute-cache
 encapsulation frame-relay
!
interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface Serial0/0.2 multipoint
 no arp frame-relay

Any ideas?

Re: % Warning: cannot change link type

2000-12-13 Thread John Neiberger

You can't change a subinterface from one type to another without rebooting. 
In this case, you already have it configured as multipoint.  Either use
another subinterface or remove this one and reboot.  

HTH,
John

RE: % Warning: cannot change link type

2000-12-13 Thread Coker, Michael

That's correct.  The only two commands that you have to reload a router, are
when changing the ISDN switch type and changing subinterfaces from
point-to-point to point-to-multipoint or vice versa.  At least the only two
that I've heard of.  I'd be interested if someone has heard of any others.

then tried to delete it and bring it back up as a point-to-point. You
will
get this error with 11.x IOS. Delete the interface and restart the
router.
That should enable you to change the frame type to multipoint.

Good luck,

Duncan

WARING WARNING

2000-09-19 Thread NSU

Do not waste money or time on BFQ (Quizer)
http://www.bfq.com


Most of the questions are from the old course and not from the CISCO BSCN
course material. I have the official CISCO material ( attended the
training ) and they are referring to a old Course material and at the same
time telling that this is for the new BSCN course.

I Know from experience that when you take the test the questions will be
from the official CISCO course and not from the old course.

For me It looks like that BFQ have just re done the old test and selling it
as a new one.
This is not right.

A Test is Testing what you read and if you understand what you read and
nothing else.
I see this as a false marketing from BFQ

I am not pleased with thetest.

This is my side of the saga.

I recomed you to go for

2000-09-07 Thread Dale Cantrell

So that's what was in the six messages sent to me yesterday!! I personally 
received that many from the list. I won't metion whose name they were from 
because I don't believe they were the one that sent it. The subject field 
had some topics I had answered to in the past three days. No text just 
attachments. They even had the Hotmail...McAffee logo on the bottom. One 
thing missing..the option to scan the attachment was missing. Non 
important though if you follow one rule. NEVER OPEN ATTACHEMENTS.
Better luck next time.
Dale
