Cisco HWIC-3G-GSM
by Chris Gravell 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hoi, Does anyone have any direct experience with this WIC with any GSM provider's (Sunrise, Orange, Swisscom et al.) in Switzerland? I want to use this card as dial-backup to a WAN connection (Serial, DSL etc). So far I have it working with Sunrise and Orange depending on the (APN) Access Point Name and Profile. However, none of the APN provisioned by the GSM Providers'/ available for their SIM's feature what I really require. Those being: 1. Publically assigned IP 2. Static IP (Dynamic will work too - intend to create a DMVPN tunnel to backhaul one providers' IP range over the GSM providers' IP network and DMVPN will do this even where the "spoke" or GSM interface is dynamically assigned) 3. No NAT/PAT in the GSM provider's network (i.e. some APN assign a private IP to the GSM interface and NAT this at the edge of the GSM provider's network) 4. Permit ALL IP protocols (NO firewalling along the path - some GSM provider's permit only http, ftp etc) Sunrise and Orange support similar options but not all. Does anyone know if Swisscom or another provider might offer an APN product that accommodates all requirements as a solution? This cisco WIC only came out last year so info is relatively thin on the ground. The configuration is trivial but the hard part is finding a GSM Provider that will treat this as a viable backup solution for business' and not just a cut down version/ poor man's IP connectivity for mobile phones. Any ideas, tips or tricks welcomed. Thanks, Chris Gravell

xDSL sandbox?
by Beat Vontobel 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi everybody on Swinog, some time ago I once again had to help out some friends with the setup of their new ADSL connection (the kind of private support favour probably most of you on this list also get asked for over and over again by relatives and friends). Just after I connected a laptop to the LAN-port of their router that needed to be set up, I got this mail in the inbox: > Received: from Sandbox Mail Server > From:sandbox@noreply > To: ***** > Precedence: bulk > Message-ID: ***** > Subject: Support Information > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > Date: Thu, ** *** **** **:**:** -0000 > > Lieber Kunde > > Der Benutzername (Beispiel: Name(a)ISP.ch) Ihres Internet-Anschlusses > ist nicht korrekt. > Bitte überprüfen Sie den eingegebenen Benutzernamen im Router/Modem > oder wenden Sie sich an Ihren Internetanbieter. > > Mit freundlichen Grüssen > Ihr Internetanbieter [* used to overwrite some info from the original mail, containing user names and other things I don't want to share] Now, this seems like a helpful feature at first - but the thing that bothers me is that the provider of the sandbox actually "hijacks" (I didn't check it out in detail, but maybe through a DNS server with a wildcard entry or directly on the TCP/IP level, it doesn't matter how) outgoing connections for various services and redirects them to their servers. While I think this is okay maybe for HTTP to display a helpful message in the browser, I don't like somebody to "provide" other services (as POP3, SMTP, FTP, HTTPS, whatever) and be able to happily log provided user/password information (yes, I know, everybody should just use encrypted connections, always check certificates and never supply a password in plain-text to any service -- but we all know that's not the reality). Admittedly, I may seem a little bit too paranoid here, but still I'd just like to know who operates these sandbox machines: Is it the individual providers or Swisscom? What's the policy for this service? What protocols/services are hijacked? Do the connections get logged somehow? What do you think? Or is there somebody on the list who's responsible for or at least knows more about these sandbox machines? Just wonder... :) Regards, Beat Vontobel MeteoNews AG P.S.: This is my first post to the list. I was following it for quite some time now, mostly to stay up-to-date on Swiss network issues, as I too often had to debug issues outside of our own network, when our customers (we provide weather data and services) had connectivity issues. But things are really much more relaxed now, since we finally operate our own AS44238 and are no longer dependent on one single provider... of course, now it might just be me and myself who mess things up -- but then I should also be able to fix it myself instead of just have to wait until a NOC somewhere fixes a stupid routing issue... So much for a short introduction. :)

Securing Cisco Routers in a ISP network (management-plane?)
by Marco Fretz 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi everyone, I'm preparing my routers for IPv6. Along with v6 support comes the requirement to secure router management / services for v6. Currently I've inbound access-lists on all inbound interfaces blocking management traffic (ssh, telnet, ftp, http, etc.) and things like SIP, etc. to all router v4 addresses. You can imagine that this a lot of maintenance work. So my idea was to use the new management-plane (control-plane) protection in IOS 12.4 T. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/12_4t11/htsecmpp.html Is there anyone using this already in ISP networks? What are the experience? You can define a loopback interface as management-interface and propagate the loopback addresses with IGP inside the management network. After that, all other interfaces are no longer accepting management traffic to the control-plane, right? Setting an inbound access-list on the loopback interface to filter management traffic may be a good idea, right? Is there any impact to BGP sessions? I sill need access-lists dropping BGP traffic to my router addresses and explicit allowing my bgp peers, right? Any suggestions / ideas welcome. Thanks and best regards Marco
