1. Hi all, I have problem with L2TP/IPSec configuration in Cisco Router 2911. I cannot connect via Windows 7,8.1,10 build in vpn client. Here is my config: aaa new-model aaa authentication ppp L2TP.
2. How to install a text file configuration into a Cisco router This How-To Tutorial maybe helpful when you have a configuration that needs to be copied from a file, or from one Cisco router to another.

Below items you need to prepare:

a. PAK (11 numbers ID), is offered by CISCO.

Note: There are two methods of PAK delivery. The first is a paper certificate sent via standard postal carrier. The second, and more efficient method, is to select eDelivery for electronic delivery of the PAK. The eDelivery SKU’s are differentiated from standard SKU’s by having “L-” prefix in the SKU name. Select this option, when available and it will save a lot of time in shipment.

b. CISCO account ID and Password to login on CISCO website.

c. Serial no. on machine & PID (got by show license UDI).

Note: During this process, you may need the product Unique Device Identifier (UDI) that the license will be tied to. Depending on the product, this could either be the device serial number, MAC address, etc. Please refer to the product documentation to verify the appropriate UDI information for your device. You may also need to supply the hostname of the unit, your email address, and the physical address of the device.

How to Activate a Cisco License? More Steps:

1. Login on: https://www.cisco.com/go/license. Once the PAK ID has been received, it can be used to redeem the license online at: https://www.cisco.com/go/license

2. Fill in the PAK, and submit.

3. If you have more different feature license, you can combine it into a license file, and click on “all done” and then fill in the requested info of machine.

4. Fill in the “product ID” & “serial no” to get “license”. Read the “End User License Agreement” and click on “ Agreement” , then edit or verify “Registration Information” & “End User Information”. It is very important to make sure you can get the license file finally. And next, click on “Continue”.

5. Check “Summarized Information”, and then click “Submit”.

6. Click “Download license”or check the attached file in your email.

7. Upload “ license file” to the router, and use the command of ”copy tftp flash0:”. And use the command of “license install” on router to install it.

8. “Reload” the router, and check if the license has been activated on “show version”.

More TIPS you can get while activating your Cisco license:

Many other licensing activities can be accomplished through the online portal, too. This includes registering a new license, rehosting a license due to RMA, and applying for a temporary or demo license. There is a FAQ document and video also available from the website for additional best practices.

If you are unable to perform the licensing activity online, the Global Licensing Operation (GLO) team can provide assistance. There are 3 ways to open a case with GLO:

• The first is via the online portal at https://cisco.com/tac/caseopen. After selecting the appropriate technology and sub-technology, be sure to select “Licensing” listed under “Type of Problem”. This is the preferred method and the most efficient method for customers to open severity 3 service requests.
• The second is by calling 800-553-2447 (in the US and Canada). Use this link for global numbers,https://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html. This should be used for urgent situations such as a network down or severe degradation to reach someone quickly.
• Lastly, is to email GLO at licensing@cisco.com

Each of these has pros and cons, but we definitely encourage customers to use the website whenever possible and to call us whenever necessary. Using the website is truly the optimal method for non-urgent issues. The first two methods can also be used to contact TAC to reach an engineer.

Cisco WAN :: Router 2921 Enough For BGP?

I need a router to connect to our ISP by BGP and in a future to a second ISP. Our ISP is going to provide us about 300.000 route entries by BGP. So router 2921 would be enough??? or should i go to a higher model?We are going to have 100Mbps with this ISP and probably in 3 months we'll have to double it. Also we'll need IPv6 support.I saw router performance install-license-cisco-2911-router.htmlf and it's has 480.000 PPS and 245 Mbps but for 64 bytes lenght packages. If the packets are bigger the throughput should be best I suppose... 1500 bytes about 5,5 Gbps. In the case you consider the model is sufficient, the flash or RAM should be increased?

Cisco WAN :: Multicast To Unicast Through 2921 Router

We recently acquire a cisco 2921/K9 router to interface 2 networks
Network 1 : 169.254.XXX.XXX/16 on GigabitEthernet0/0 interface
Network 2 : 192.168.1.XXX/24 on GigabitEthernet0/1 interface
On the network 1 side there is a multicast source (169.254.200.200 destination : 225.0.0.1) on the network 2 side there is 1 receiver which is not multicast capable(old) but i want it to receive the multicast stream for the moment we configure the ip multicast-routing and each interface each interface with ip pim sparse-dense-mode then configure the GigabitEthernet0/1 in order to join the multicast group (using ip igmp static-group 225.0.0.1) and wireshark confirm that the multicast stream on the network 2 side from 169.254.200.200 -> 225.0.0.1 of course the receiver don't the stream, but if i force a 'multicast to unicast' process inside the router it shall be ok.. after many hour of internet browsing i found 2 solution :
- NAT, install-license-cisco-2911-router.html
- multicast service reflection (Cisco documentation)
The NAT example don't work ,what is the best way to do this task.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 2921 Multiple Netflows From Same Router

What I’m looking to do is setup a net-flow monitor for traffic going across a PIX firewall. I know unfortunately I can’t do this directly from the PIX because it does not support net-flow.
I do have a 2921 router on the same network that I have net-flow enabled to monitor traffic across the MPLS Connection.
Since the traffic for the MPLS is going out a direct interface I have applied the IP Flow egress/ingress commands to that interface to obtain the net-flow data I need. The PIX firewall however is not a direct interface so this can’t be done. I have done a little reading and believe I could use a policy map to create a “filter” so that any traffic that meets the ACL associated with the Policy-Map would get sent to net-flow monitor.
My question is how do I set that up so that so I can have the two net-flow data “streams/sources” go to separate net-flow ports so that I can monitor them independently of each other or is that not possible?
Both devices are connected to a 3750X switch; however neither is connected to a 10GB port. To my understanding that means I can’t run net-flow on the switch itself.

Rosewill RNX EasyN4 Router / Cannot Find Installation CD

I am planning to set to my new house a secure network with Cisco firewall. I have practically no experience with firewalls and specially no with ASA programming. Still I have quite a clear picture what the system will look like. But when I first opened the ADSM screen I was freaked out about the amount of selections to be made. I cannot even figure out where I shoud start from! I am afraid that even thou I am very good with computers, it will take years to get understand all this data not to mention of configuring the device.
At the moment the situation is as follows:
- Firewall is set as factory default and it cannot not get to internet. I can't figure out what is blocking the traffic out. Logs does not work.
- Cable modem router has DHCP, NAT and SPI firewall ON.
- Outside has line/link up and IP is DHCP configured, but no traffic.
- 5505s' DHCP is now off but tested and working
- No VPN tunnels built (never built one and don't know how to do it)
- No extra routes / rules / profiles / policies etc. done. All is at default/auto status.
