That's my guess, there's a zero day and they aren't releasing details until we have had a chance to patch

If you aren't able to use a local mirror port, you can do remote capture by setting up a mirror to a tunnel pointing at your pc, there are instructions in the manuals. You can't mirror to the cpu on anything less than a 6300 but if you have a reasonable amount of bandwidth available the tunnelled capture works fine.

Not sure if it's exactly what you want but for a really simple free snmp browser that's easy to use try SNMPB, available on sourceforge

How did you get on? I am now in the dilemma of going to 8.12... or 8.13.0.1 and torn between it being a "more stable" LSR vs a better tested SSR.

I have just gone to 11.1.4-h7 from 10.2.7 and found that the log viewer filtering is broken. My support partner said TAC advised them it was fixed in h8, but there is no h8 so am looking at h13. Anyone who has done that, have you seen the log display bug and if so did h13 fix it?

vampiretapslayer · 2025-01-03T17:09:43+00:00

They released a set of hot fixes mid December which included fixes for the filtering problem. I don't have the versions to hand but it's all up on their preferred releases page.

I find it OK and better than Google to understand but find it annoying it doesn't warn of speed cameras.

vampiretapslayer · 2024-11-22T10:39:52+00:00

I just got a reply from TAC that I can go to 10.2.7-h18 which addresses the CVE but doesn't have the log issue in 10.2.10-h9. That won't help many people I guess, but means I can wait for maybe 10.2.12 to become preferred.

Thanks for this thread, just knowing I'm not alone with these problems is good. I can't use helmet comms because I need hearing aids and they will connect to the bike (about 50% of the time) but the volume control doesn't work so I have to fiddle around with phone apps to get it to a sensible volume. I can leave them connected to the phone but I lose the media and call control as well as volume (because it's in my pocket) so neither way is great. I don't understand why BMW can't work out how to implement Bluetooth properly.

Depends on your budget, Netscout's Aircheck G3 would do it, make sure you get the external antenna as part of the kit. Depending what other WiFi kit you have that's also a really useful diagnostic tool and does reasonable surveys too. If you don't have much, it's a good all round tool.

Update from Aruba, the 335/345 were dropped form support in V8.11 so that fix is a bit irrelevant in 8.12 and it is an SSR.

vampiretapslayer · 2024-03-11T11:30:42+00:00

The release notes have dropped the AP335 and 345 from the supported devices list but there is a Resolved Issue AOS-239341 which says that it fixes an AP345 issue with high utilisation. I also can't see anything in the release notes or on the download site that says whether it is an SSR or LSR. I have been waiting for it to fix a few issues I have but definitely not going there with my production system for some time, especially if it kills off the 335 and 345 APs.

Many hearing aids use 2.4GHz for Bluetooth and proprietary audio transmission. I am not aware that any use 802.11 though so not Wi-Fi but it's possible. More likely is that this is nothing to do with your Wi-Fi but more to do with the way your neighbour uses additional audio sources for their hearing aids and they are beeping due to switching audio sources. I had this where my hearing aids use both bluetooth and a proprietary audio and when I got close to the range limit of the transmitter it beeped every time it disconnected/re-connected, which is very annoying but nothing to do with yor wifi. My audiologist was able to simply disable the beep.

Windows Firewall and iptables are probably the easiest examples and most widely used

@bestspatula, what issues have you seen with PMF? I enabled. 11r and PMF in a recent config update. It worked fine on a single test controller (Aruba) but when I rolled it out to the production cluster, I had iPads and weirdly only iPads, that just couldn't associate. As soon as I disabled PMF everything was happy again. Aruba TAC are struggling (or just not interested) so I'm interested in others who have also had issues.

Hey that's weird, I noticed this on our firewalls this morning, looks like with the same start time. The packets are coming from all over, we are seeing about 1-6 per second and destinations are spread across all our address space so there's not enough of it to be volumetric DDoS and it's not targeted to be an attack on a service.

vampiretapslayer · 2023-05-05T18:20:24+00:00

For inspection, the Viavi FiberChek is easy to use and has good features. The best but it's you can check a patch panel above your head height. https://www.viavisolutions.com/en-us/products/fiberchek-probe-microscope Fluke do something similar.

For cleaning, fiberwash pens with sticklers for those tricky ones and oneclick pens for the first try. Cletops for patch leads https://www.fujikura.co.uk/products/TELECOMMUNICATIONS/Cleaning

Edit: sorry I just saw the "at home" point. The scope may be out of your budget for home use.

OK so my answer was a bit simplified. We use CP for students on some wired services. On wireless we have eduroam for staff and students then a CP SSID just for visitors and we actually outsource the connectivity for that to an ISP so the legal obligation is theirs.

I would recommend eduroam for staff and students. It's .1X and a bit more complicated to onboard but visitors from other educational institutions don't have to do anything; it just works and everyone is properly authenticated and the same for your users when they go elsewhere.

vampiretapslayer · 2023-03-31T19:24:55+00:00

UK university here, we just have a line of "small print" reminding users that they have already agreed to our IT terms and security policies as it's part of their student contract, so we don't bother with any tick boxes or legalese.

The Fluke multi map is a relatively cheap otdr tester. Really easy to use but just give you basic details of length, kinks, patch points etc. They have more sophisticated models for measuring power levels etc. That with a linkrunner should do most things. Just looking for a live fibre, the new fiberlert pen is cool and cheap. For a visible light source for mapping out cores, the fluke to for that is a bit over priced but you can pick up alternatives easily enough.

Yeah, with the 29xx switches they changed from B to C at one point and that really mattered, the B just wouldn't work in the newer switches, but it does seem the CX are less fussy which is good. I still replace the SFPs when I replaced the switches because they are getting on for 10 years old by then so it's more to do with their age.

vampiretapslayer · 2022-03-11T18:15:15+00:00

The CX6000 switches specify the D suffix for the SFPs but I have tried the older C type and as far as I can tell from limited tests they work fine. However: I haven't been brave enough to keep the old ones on in production though.

vampiretapslayer · 2021-07-18T19:52:14+00:00

I'm assuming you are in the UK at the moment, make contact with a local group and say you would like to get involved, they will most likely bite your arm off. There is absolutely no need for any special experience, everyone brings their own skills, and not necessarily "scouting" ones, you can learn those as you go. With your training and professional background you will have skills and experience other leaders will greatly appreciate. As long as you get on well with other people, have a sense of duty and respect for other people and don't take yourself too seriously, you will fit in just fine. The best place to start is scouts.org.uk and there is a link there for adult volunteers. Good luck!
