8.0(2)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The local CA files stored in the database include the certificate database, user database files, temporary PKCS12 files, and the current CRL file. The mount-name is the same as the name argument for the mount command used to specify a file system for the adaptive security appliance.


Note These CA files are internal stored files and should not be modified.


Examples

The following example defines the mount point for the CA database as cifs_share. It also defines the database files directory on the mount point as ca_dir/files_dir.

hostname(config)# crypto ca server
hostname(config-ca-server)# database path cifs_share ca_dir/files_dir/
hostname(config-ca-server)#

DDNS-update-method


Command History

Release
Modification

7.2(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) updates the name to address and address to name mappings maintained by DNS. Of the two methods for performing DDNS updates—the IETF standard defined by RFC 2136 and a generic HTTP method—the adaptive security appliance supports the IETF method in this release.

Name and address mappings are contained in two types of resource records (RR):

The A resource record contains domain name to IP address mappings.

The PTR resource record contains IP address to domain name mappings.

DDNS updates can be used to maintain consistent information between the A and PTR RR types.

When issued in DDNS-update-method configuration mode, the ddns command defines whether the update is just to A RR, or to both A RR and PTR RR.

Examples

The following example configures updating to both the A and PTR RRs for the DDNS update method named ddns-2:

hostname(config)# ddns update method ddns-2
hostname(DDNS-update-method)# ddns both


Related Commands

Command
Description

ddns update (interface config mode)

Associates a dynamic DNS (DDNS) update method with a adaptive security appliance interface or a DDNS update hostname.

ddns update method (global config mode)

Creates a method for dynamically updating DNS resource records.

dhcp-client update dns

Configures the update parameters that the DHCP client passes to the DHCP server.

dhcpd update dns

Enables a DHCP server to perform DDNS updates.

interval maximum

Configures the maximum interval between update attempts by a DDNS update method.


ddns update (interface configuration)

To associate a dynamic DNS (DDNS) update method with a adaptive security appliance interface or an update hostname, use the ddns update command in interface configuration mode. To remove the association between the DDNS update method and the interface or the hostname from the running configuration, use the no form of this command.

ddns update [method-name | hostname hostname]

no ddns update [method-name | hostname hostname]

Syntax Description

hostname

Specifies that the next term in the command string is a hostname.

hostname

Specifies a hostname to be used for updates.

method-name

Specifies a method name for association with the interface being configured.


Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Modification

7.2(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

After defining a DDNS update method, you must associate it with a adaptive security appliance interface to trigger DDNS updates.

A hostname could be a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or just a hostname. If just a hostname, the adaptive security appliance appends a domain name to the hostname to create a FQDN.

Examples

The following example associates the interface GigabitEthernet0/2 with the DDNS update method named ddns-2 and the hostname hostname1.example.com:

hostname(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/2
hostname(config-if)# ddns update ddns-2
hostname(config-if)# ddns update hostname hostname1.example.com

7.2(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

DDNS updates the name to address and address to name mappings maintained by DNS. The update method configured by the ddns update method command determines what and how often dynamic DNS updates are performed. Of the two methods for performing DDNS updates—the IETF standard defined by RFC 2136 and a generic HTTP method—the adaptive security appliance supports the IETF method in this release.

Name and address mappings are contained in two types of resource records (RR):

The A resource record contains domain name to IP address mappings.

The PTR resource record contains IP address to domain name mappings.

DDNS updates can be used to maintain consistent information between the A and PTR RR types.


Note Before ddns update method will work, you must configure a reachable default DNS server using the dns command with domain lookup enabled on the interface.


Examples

The following example configures the DDNS update method named ddns-2:

hostname(config)# ddns update method ddns-2

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command lets you observe EIGRP feasible successor activity and to determine whether route updates are being installed and deleted by the routing process.

Because debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process, it can render the system unusable. For this reason, use debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during troubleshooting sessions with Cisco TAC. Moreover, it is best to use debug commands during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during these periods decreases the likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect system use.

Examples

The following is sample output from the debug eigrp fsm command:

hostname# debug eigrp fsm

DUAL: dual_rcvupdate(): 172.25.166.0 255.255.255.0 via 0.0.0.0 metric 750080/0
DUAL: Find FS for dest 172.25.166.0 255.255.255.0. FD is 4294967295, RD is 4294967295 
found
DUAL: RT installed 172.25.166.0 255.255.255.0 via 0.0.0.0
DUAL: dual_rcvupdate(): 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 via 0.0.0.0 metric 4294967295/4294967295
DUAL: Find FS for dest 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0. FD is 2249216, RD is 2249216
DUAL:   0.0.0.0 metric 4294967295/4294967295not found Dmin is 4294967295
DUAL: Dest 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 not entering active state.
DUAL: Removing dest 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0, nexthop 0.0.0.0
DUAL: No routes. Flushing dest 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0

In the fist line, DUAL stands for diffusing update algorithm. It is the basic mechanism within EIGRP that makes the routing decisions. The next three fields are the Internet address and mask of the destination network and the address through which the update was received. The metric field shows the metric stored in the routing table and the metric advertised by the neighbor sending the information. If shown, the term "Metric... inaccessible" usually means that the neighbor router no longer has a route to the destination, or the destination is in a hold-down state.

In the following output, EIGRP is attempting to find a feasible successor for the destination. Feasible successors are part of the DUAL loop avoidance methods. The FD field contains more loop avoidance state information. The RD field is the reported distance, which is the metric used in update, query, or reply packets.

The indented line with the "not found" message means a feasible successor was not found for 192.168.4.0 and EIGRP must start a diffusing computation. This means it begins to actively probe (sends query packets about destination 192.168.4.0) the network looking for alternate paths to 192.164.4.0.

DUAL: Find FS for dest 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0. FD is 2249216, RD is 2249216
DUAL:   0.0.0.0 metric 4294967295/4294967295not found Dmin is 4294967295

The following output indicates the route DUAL successfully installed into the routing table:

DUAL: RT installed 172.25.166.0 255.255.255.0 via 0.0.0.0

The following output shows that no routes to the destination were discovered and that the route information is being removed from the topology table:

DUAL: Dest 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 not entering active state.
DUAL: Removing dest 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0, nexthop 0.0.0.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you use this command, the adaptive security appliance records EAPoUDP session state changes and timer events, and generates a complete record of EAPoUDP header and packet contents in hexadecimal format.

The high priority assigned to debugging output can render the system unusable. For this reason, use debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during troubleshooting sessions with Cisco technical support staff. Moreover, it is best to use debug commands during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during these periods decreases the likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect system use.

Examples

The following example enables the logging of all EAPoUDP session events:

hostname# debug eou events
hostname# 

The following example enables the logging of all EAPoUDP debug messages:

hostname# debug eou all
hostname# 

The following example disables the logging of all EAPoUDP debug messages:

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Because debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process, it can render the system unusable. For this reason, use debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during troubleshooting sessions with Cisco technical support staff. Moreover, it is best to use debug commands during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during these periods decreases the likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect system use.

Examples

The following example enables IPSec-over-TCP debug messages. The show debug command reveals that IPSec-over-TCP debug messages are enabled.

hostname# debug ipsec-over-tcp
debug ipsec-over-tcp  enabled at level 1
hostname# show debug
debug ipsec-over-tcp  enabled at level 1
