Cisco Routers :: RV042 - Error With ProtectLink Webfiltering After Activation
Mar 4, 2013
We have in our business some RV042 with Cisco ProtectLink Webfiltering. Until now we do not had any problem of activate the licence and it works has we axpected.
But the two last time that we went through the install procedure outlined in the ProtectLink Gateway install manual, the both RV042 do not run the service, we do not know why... So we have decide to stop buy and sold them until we find a solution.
The firmware install are the last one.
When I try to activate the product again, it shows as "Already registered". Trend has no idea why it won't work. They said Cisco sold the license, so try their support.
We have successfully activated Protectlink Web but as we have observed that when we try to restart our router, Cisco Protectlink status is active but then when you look on license information on platform the status just states there is "Waiting...."Web Protection no longer working..In order for us to resolve this. We have to restore our router to factory default and then activate Protectlink and set all the settings again..As I have said this only happens when we restart our router?
My customer's Protectlink license is set to expire in 2 weeks. I would like to enter the activation code I just obtained, but cannot find the link. When I go to the license page in the router, there is a link to renew, but that just takes me to the website to enter the new key code, then receive an activation code. There is not howver any link to enter the activation code. I assume that once the license actually expires, the activation link will then show up, but there must be a way to get to this page ahead of time.
It took me some time to get the load balancing (RV042 V3, v4.0.4.02-tm) working (my provider ist not returning any packets by the gateway ip on a ping). No I am ruinning into a performance issue. After activating PrtotectLink it takes a few hours or one or two days and the RV042 is reacting very slow. I need to reboot the RV042 and everything is ok again for some time ....Deactivating ProtectLink does not work only rebooting speeds the system up again.ProtectLink ist useless this way, anything I can do to get ProtectLink working?
We have implemented Cisco Protectlink Web Protection on our network.
By choosing the categories that we want to block everything worked well until we have noticed that when users try to browse social networking sites like [URL] this site is blocked but when users type in [URL] users that go directly to facebook.
and also with youtube if they add https:// users can then bypass our network block.
Is this somewhat a bug on the Protectlink Categories blocking?
I have activated Protectlink Web. But today i started to get "router is busy" in all pages, so we restarted the router. That problem was solved but now the the web Protection is no longer working. It says activated but licence status says waiting.
A client of mine has an RV042 and wanted a trial of the ProtectLink Web content filtering. The trial has expired but the RV042 is still blocking websites such as Facebook. They have requested a user to have access but I can no longer modify the ProtectLink settings.
I've one RV042. I've configured VPN PPTP and it work (I've redirect port 1723 on router1 to rv042). If I can try to use quickVpn, client login and receive error "remote gateway is not responding". I have redirect port 60443 from router1 to rv042. Connection it's this: INTERNET-router1-RV042.
a client of mine has a RV042 and uses it to work off site via PPTP server. It all worked fine until Friday, when it all of the sudden started spitting 619 errors saying the port was closed. The client laptop is a Window 7 Pro machine and we use the Windows VPN client to connect. I made no changes to router or client. I disabled the firewall on the client for one connection try, just to make sure and the outcome was the same. The setup of the PPTP server on router and the VPN connection on the client were so simple when I did it initially, that I'm now kinda lost and don't know how to troubleshoot it.We switched from QuickVPN to PPTP because we had a bunch of issues with QuickVPN and Windows 7 client is much faster.
I am reviewing the Firewall Log's and the block ProtectLink classifications are not matching up to what I have set on the ProtectLink settings.For example the log side says:Oct 21 07:02:08 2011KernelThe URL(facebook.com) you(10.0.5.17) are attempting to access has been identified as Dialers site and has been blocked. But in the ProtectLink side it does not have any hits on the Dialer classification but instead incremented the counter in the Social Networking classification as it should. I was hoping to use the logs to quickly determin which real classification to either turn off for false postivies as I get used to which ones I should turn on and off for our environment.
Just a few weeks ago I purchased a rvs4000 router. On that small business device is a product called protectlink. To get an activation key, you need a registration key first. That is normal in the package. However, my wify like to cleanup up and throws stuff away that she should not do. So, I lost the registration key.
It is impossible to key a new registration key. The webstore does not have them. They are in the package and will not open an other one. Cisco (if you can get passed the ...you don't have a support contract...go away statement) does not even know that they have this product. Registration keys, never heard of it. But you get the normal ... go to the webstore or trendmicro.... And that after the statement, we don't know that product. How do you know that this is a trenmicro piece of software.....
getting a registration key for a cisco small business router rvs4000 to obtain an activation code for the cisco/trensmicro protectlink product.
We have just buy a Cisco Small Business Router, model RV082. I need to enable the content filtering, but we just realized that this equipment does not filter HTTPS urls, even with the solution "Cisco ProtectLink Web" the equipment does not filter HTTPS urls.
For example, if I type on my browser just [URL], the access blocked, but if I type HTTPS:[URL], the access is allowed!Is there any way to block urls with HTTPS?
I went through the install procedure outlined in the ProtectLink Gateway install manual and i activated the ProtectLink Web product through Trend Micro (which shows up through their web site as a registered product to me). It still doesn't show up as installed on the SA540 (under Administration/License Management screen). When I try to activate the product again, it shows as "Already registered". Trend has no idea why it won't work. They said Cisco sold the license, so try their support.
I have upgraded to the new RV042G to take advantage of the gigabit Ethernet speeds and to prepare for when our ISP upgrades our bandwidth. I currently use the RV042 with Protect Link enabled to filter out various categories from our network traffic. I noticed that this feature is not included with the RV042G.
Is this something Cisco will decide to add back in later? In the meantime, how to block content on the network? The basic URL and keyword filter will not meet our needs, since it is much easier to let a service such as Trend Micro manage what is blocked in the categories they offer.
I have a really stupid problem with my RV042. The main logon password has expired but it will not let me change it at all. Basically I try to login but get the error 'The old password has expired. Please change the password'. But with no prompt at all for a new password and just a return to the login page. Tried various different browsers, tried the old default password but nothing will work. There seems to be no way of changing it and I cannot login.Am I missing something glaringly obvious? I really don't want to reset it to default as I have numerous VPN tunnels configured and various other settings.
My quickvpn setup has been working great for a few years but it stop working recently with the following error message in wget_request_error.txt: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 501 Not Implemented 20:10:10 ERROR 501: Not Implemented.quickvpn hangs on the dreaded verifying network stage.Checked VPN router logs and also quickVPN client logs and confirmed the tunnel has been created successfully. However the ping was unsuccessful.I look through the forum and confirmed that my quickvpn user account and password only contains alphanumeric characters.
I have RV042 and E4200 routers . I tried the manual UPnP port forwarding using Rv042 router and was succesful ( by typing 192.168.1.1 in the explorer and logged in using user name and password )
I am using a linux embedded system whose Internal IP ,Internal port are mapped .This system is connected to one of the LAN ports
I want to try auto UPnP port forwarding both for RV042 router and Linksys E4200 routers
After enabling the Upnp option only and logging out ,Can i add a port mapping entry in this router without logging in using a C++ program which runs on linux embedded system .
I was looking for a small business router that has VPN support and dual WAN support for load balancing. Upon reading reviews, I think RV042/RV042G is a good choice. Now am thinking if it supports intervlan/ router-on-a-stick configuration?
I've purchased a used ASA 5505 device. Upon reseting and looking at the startup, I see that it is unable to retrieve Activation License and used default. Activation License shows as all zeros.
Is there a way to find whatever Activation License is tied to my device from Cisco without a service contract ? or I have to live with the default ?
Bought and paid for Network Magic Pro 5.5. Bought new computer and need to install Network Magic Pro 5.5. Installation successfull. Unfortunately I have lost the activation key and the email it was on was deleted.
I would like to develop Voice Activation Detection using this sample program (google: ****/p_238-voice-activation-detection-voip) in Visual Studio 2008. But according to this website Visual Studio 2010 is highly recommended. Why VS 2010 is better than VS 2008?
We got a replacement ASA 5580 from Cisco. We were not aware of PAK, Is there any other possible to generate Activation key? Can we generate PAK or Activation Key using SO (service order) number?
We have recently got 2 of our Cisco ASA 5520 firewalls through RMA. These are supposed to run in a Active/Active Failover Pair. There was only 1 RMA request that was opened for both the firewalls. We have received only 1 Activation key for this RMA request for both the firewalls. Just want to check with you if this Activation key will work on both firewalls or do we need a get a seperate one for the other box.
I sometimes am forced to use my computer at work to set-up wireless networks for employees who move into temporary apartments. Now every time I am at my home, my computer, ipad, and iphone keep redirecting to comcast home activation page. The problem is the home activation page that comes up is for one of the apartments I set-up for my employer. It seems to be stuck on the final steps of this other persons comcast set-up and I cant get it to go away. I have a Linksys router with a secure network. It shows I am connected to my network, but when I try to get on-line it send me right back to Comcast activation page for someone elses account. Countless calls to Comcast have gotten me know where. Since the final steps of the comcast activation involve downloading desk top software, and the ipad will not let you download desktop software even into dropbox. It has made my ipad useless when I'm at home.
I connected the DSL (WAN1-Internet) port in and the Cisco RV042 was able to get an IP automatically. I tested the connection and it works just fine. Then I connect the Cable Modem-Comcast (WAN2-DMZ/Internet Port) in and I have the RV042 automatically optain IP address. But it just says 0.0.0.0. I've tried release/renew and that does nothing. Also, when I connect the 2nd Internet connection the Internet goes down. The only way it goes back up is when I disable under the PORT MANAGMENT setting.
All the settings have been kept to the default.How can I get the router to obtain an IP address from the Cable Modem-Comcast (WAN2 DMZ/Internet Port).
We have an Cisco RV042. We need to setup a VPN with a business partner who is already using our current IP scheme on another VPN with another client. They have asked us to NAT our IP's from 192.168.25.x to 192.168.245.x
I can't seem to figure this out on this router. I have done it on a Sonicwall and Watchguard, but can't seem to get it to work on the RV042.
I have setup the VPN and the One-To-One NAT. The tunnel will connect (using the 245.x IP as our local IP on the VPN setup), but no traffic will pass through.
we have a WLC 4404, Software Version 4.2.61.0 and the following Problem. The WLC worked for many years with the SSID "SKHGR". In addition to the existing SSID I have a second SSID "SKHGR-M" is created. The configuration of the two SSID's is identical.
The problem is: when I activate the second SSID, the AP losing connection with the WLC. In the log appears"AP disassociated. ... Base Radio" and " "not advertising ssid due to radio policy". The AP's connect with the WLC, lose after few seconds the contact.
i was planed to make a vpn over rv042 so i get the rv042 connected behind a thosmon 456(configured as a bridge) and 1 static ip ... and i configured the vpn and worked great ...but due to some circumstance i get a package of 6 ips insted of the old ip , so when i try to configure the router with the ISP they but the wan ip 10.232.x.x and told me that an internal ip from there lan ... and give me the 6 ip of 196.x.x.x to use as 1 for internal interface for the rv042 and 5 for the pc's,now the vpn not working anymore...notice: when try to configure the vpn tunnle in the local securty setting i mark the ip only and the ip that abear is the wan ip 10.232.x.x but i can't ping that ip beside i can ping the internal ip of the router 196.x.x.50does rv042 can support static and virtual ip inside the lan |! can i configure the thomson as pppoe and use one static ip from 196.x.x.x as wan ip for it ... and use anther 196.x.x.x ip for the rv042 to get access from outside and connect the lan to the rv042 with internal ip 192.168.x.x ...so i can access the vpn from outside .....and can connect the device i need to use static ip to the thomson ...
Firmware v4.0.4.02 has a nasty bug in the VPN section. If you switch to "IP by DNS Resolved" (yes, it says "Resolved" instead of "Resolution". Gotta love all the Engrish in the RV042!), it will automatically populate the field with "@yourdomain.com". This will cause the VPN to not lookup the proper IP address. Simply deleting the atmark after it populates will fix the problem.
Let's see what happens when we validate a Cisco RV042 webpage:
