Error: Contact Administrator The above error may come up when using the "Directory" button on your Cisco Phone. This can be resolved a couple ways.  One is to try configuring the Corporate Directory Service from the previous DNS identifier: Change to :   http://x.x.x.x:8080/ccmcip/xmldirectory.jsp   X.X.X.X = IP Address of CUCM Publisher Server  Make sure you "SAVE" the IP Phone Services Configuration Another method is to make a service with the same "http" field above and name it Corp Directory and subscribe it to the enterprise. 

 %PLATFORM_UCAST-4-PREFIX:  One or more, more specific prefixes could not be programmed into TCAM and are being covered by a less specific prefix, and the packets may be software forwarded So what is TCAM ? Ternary Content Addressable Memory is used in multi-layer switching also know as Layer 3 switching. The switches forward the packets and frames at the speed of the line by using ASIC hardware. Normally switches make there forwarding decisions based on Layer 2. TCAM is used for Layer 3 components and other features such as QOS and ACES ( Access List ).  Check TCAM and usage of templates being used in the device.  show sdm prefer ? ! This will show us the templates that can be used in the device to give more resources to one feature or the other. For example the default is the equal resource distribution while the routing gives more resources to Layer 3 routing. show sdm prefer ! The command without the "?" will show us what we are cu...

Had a client that needed a range of IP's specifically 8.  The only trouble was getting a block that would suffice out of the /24 and distribute it into chunks. If you're handy with math and understand CIDR / Subnetting this is an easy way to get your numbers quickly. Lets say our range is 1.1.1.0/24  and we need a total of 8 ip's ( 6 usable ). What is the subnet mask going to be? Well there are 256 TOTAL numbers of bits on or off in an octect (X.X.X.X each x represents an octet) to make up an actual number. 0 through 255   = 256 total because we count 0 So simple math: I need 8 right ? 256 -  8 = 248 Subnet mask = 255.255.255. 248 Now we just need to find a block or range.  Lets say we want to have 200 as a range. If you just take that number (200 for example) and divide by 8 you will see if it goes into it evenly or not. If it does this is the starting network address. For example = 200 /  8= 25 EVENLY     ...

So working on an IPS module. I finally got it up and running with a reload and install of an upgrade package. However the NTP server would not sync even though it was configured correctly! When adding an IPS module to the IPS Manager Express you may come across the following error.  In order to fix this we need to re-associate the time clock and make sure that the local host and the IPS are actually in sync. What to check: 1. Check NTP Configuration  IPS# sh clock - Check clock to make sure it is in sync or not with the actual NTP Server / ASA host 14:44:29 GMT-06:00 Tue May 28 2013 IPS# sh statistics host - Check the configuration of the host to make sure that it is actually synchronized and associating to the correct NTP source General Statistics    Last Change To Host Config (UTC) = 28-May-2013 18:18:06    Command Control Port Device = Management0/0 Network Statistics     = ma0_0     Link encap:Ethernet ...
