Hello, Any help would be appreciated. Here's my situation.

I have a Cisco 8300 Edge Series platform router. It's managmeent IP comes from two SVIs on VPC connected Core Nexus 9300s. VIP is .1 - Core 1 SVI IP is .2 & Core 2 is .3

My symptoms:

I can set a constant Ping to the IP .4 IP of the router from my user vlan deep within the network on an access switch.

Then I can clear the IP Arp of the virtual gateway ip .1 and it'll ping for EXACTLY 5 minutes/300 seconds. During that time I can access it via my TACACS account (ssh Putty). As well as ping the the VIP .1, .2 and .3.

Once exactly 300 seconds is up I can't do any of that. I CAN However, log into the Core via Putty and SSH into the Router using the emergency account. (ssh acountname@ip.ip.rtr.ip).

But I usually just keep a console connection about 10 feet away with a stand alone to clear the ip arp when it stops pinging.

I've researched about everything 6 ways to Sunday from Arp/mac aging to who knows what else. I've taken all config commands that mention 300 seconds out. And nothing has succeeded. It's like there's something flapping. But nothing has a duplicate IP.

It started Thursday after the upgrade (mentioned below). I didn't have much time to troubleshoot until today. But when I came in from over the weekend it was up and pinging. BUT as soon as I logged in via TACACS and 5 minutes went by, it stopped pinging again. Of course kicking me out of my session.

Today I added the Virtual .1 (which was already there and has alway worked until like 3 days ago), the SVI gateways .2 and .3 as IP default routes (0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.3)

After some testing it seemed like I could take all default routes out but 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.3 and it'd ping and respond with no issue and go well beyond 5 minutes. So there's either something with my router config or something got knocked loose in my HSRP SVIs on my VPC peer Cores..... I just do not know. This network has never given me this problem and it just feels like I'm being punked almost.

What am I missing folks?? Has this happened to you? I don't have a duplicate IP. I don't know what other caches I can clear.

***NOTE: It is connected to the Firewall and Core via a layer 2 switch which is also above the firewall and it is having zero issues. And no other devices, switches, ISE, Firewalls or otherwise are having any trouble at all reaching the SVIs virtual gateway. Including, the aforementioned layer 2 switch sitting just under the router, above the firewall. No traffic is being blocked by firewall. And there's nothing at all in the the logs. It's like there's a 5 minute timer that just says no, no more .1 pangin for you!!!

The only changes I've made recently are upgrades to the os versions of the router and core switches. Biggies I know! But I've even rolled back and nothing seemed to change.

Okay, I have a fan theory about The Drama that I haven't seen anyone bring up, and I'm honestly surprised. I've watched a few dozen breakdown reels, but I definitely haven't read all 4,500 comments in this thread. So I'm just going to throw this out there.

My Theory

• Emma isn't actually deaf in her left ear.
• She fabricated the entire story about planning the "event."
• She became an anti-gun activist because of the local tragedy, not because she had some dramatic change of heart.
• She threw her dad's rifle into the swamp because of that same tragedy, not as a symbolic rejection of a plan she never actually had.

My Case

The Biggest Clue (and the one that convinced me)

This is what sold me. Charlie leans into Emma's "deaf" side and quietly tells her how much he loves her and wants to marry her.

Watch her face. For about a second and a half, her expression says she heard every single word.

Then she catches herself and immediately slips back into character and asks if he said some random nonsense phrase instead.

Could someone with hearing loss still hear a whisper under the right circumstances? Sure. But that's not what convinced me. It was her reaction. Her eyes looked like someone who processed what she heard before remembering she wasn't supposed to.

From that moment on, I spent the rest of the movie waiting for the reveal that she'd been lying about her hearing the entire time.

Instead...that reveal never came.

Point Number Two: Why lie about being deaf?

When Charlie first approaches her, she doesn't want to talk to him. So she ignores him.

When he refuses to take the hint, she needs an explanation for why she wasn't responding. A harmless little white lie like "I'm deaf in my left ear" works perfectly.

At that point, she assumes she'll never see this random guy again. What's the harm?

Except...they fall in love. Now she's trapped.

The longer the relationship lasts, the harder it becomes to admit she invented the whole thing. By the time they're engaged, confessing she fabricated a disability would be relationship-ending. At that point, keeping the lie alive probably feels easier than admitting how it started.

That also explains why she becomes so emotional talking about having those "feelings." I don't think it's just because she's socially awkward. I think she's carrying around years of guilt over a lie that's gotten completely out of control.

I know one counterargument is the missing earbud. She only has one in.

But honestly, that doesn't move the needle for me. She had literally just sat back down. Who hasn't thrown in one earbud for a minute? It's an interesting detail, but hardly proof she's actually deaf.

Point Number Three: The confession game gives her a path to escape.

This is where everything clicks for me. Charlie admits he cyberbullied a 14-year-old until they moved away. Mike admits he used his ex-girlfriend as a human shield. Rachel, Emma's literal maid of honor, confesses to what is essentially manslaughter involving a disabled kid.

Yes, she says there was a search party and they found the disabled kid, but then immediately says he never told anyone who left him there. Maybe. Or maybe she threw in the "they found him" detail because she realized how horrifying the story sounded.

That kid is still out there Lovely Bones-ing it as we speak.

Then it's Emma's turn.

If everyone else is unloading these huge, awful secrets, suddenly she has the perfect opportunity to explain away the hearing lie. And not by admitting she lied. But by inventing a reason for the hearing loss.

Notice something interesting: she's the only person who doesn't actually confess to hurting anyone. Her confession is about something she planned, not something she did.

From her perspective, that's probably the safest confession in the room.

In other words: what's one more lie?

She likely expects everyone to hear it, cringe for a second, and move on. Instead, it detonates her entire relationship.

Point Number Four: The anti-gun activism doesn't actually support Emma's confession.

At the wedding, Emma's dad says she became an anti-gun activist after the local tragedy.

Most viewers connect that to Emma's confession. I don't.

I think they're connecting two events that don't actually have anything to do with each other. If Emma never planned the "event" in the first place, then her activism makes perfect sense. A local tragedy involving guns could absolutely turn someone into an activist.

Likewise, throwing her dad's M14 into the swamp doesn't have to symbolize abandoning violent plans. It can simply be exactly what it looks like: someone reacting emotionally to a tragedy in their community. The movie doesn't actually require Emma's confession for either of those things to make sense.

Point Number Five: The hearing loss story never rang true to me.

This is probably my weakest point because everyone's hearing is different, but it's still something I couldn't get past. Just simply from the wealth of personal experience I have with the subject.

Emma claims she permanently damaged her hearing by firing her dad's M14 in the woods.

Could that happen? Sure. Do I personally buy it? Not really.

I've shot larger calibers without hearing protection more times than I care to admit, and I've never experienced permanent hearing loss. Several friends of mine are in the same boat. The worst I've ever had was about five minutes of tinnitus after shooting my dad's .38 Special. Caterwaul about survivor's bias all you want. I just don't see it.

If she'd fired repeatedly inside a building, I'd probably buy it.

Out in the woods and only a few times? That explanation just never rang true to me.

It also adds another possible reason she didn't want Charlie telling the story of how they met during the wedding speeches. Sure, maybe she was just embarrassed.

Or...

Maybe her family has never heard a word about this supposed hearing loss because it doesn't actually exist.

Final Thoughts

Maybe I'm completely wrong.

Maybe I just convinced myself there was a bigger twist coming than the movie ever intended.

It goes so far as to make me wonder if there weren't 2 or 3 rewrites of this movie and some of what I'm seeing are just artifacts of different abandoned story lines. But I was convinced of a couple of them until the bitter end in that diner.

I also briefly wondered if Emma was the same person Charlie admitted to cyberbullying, since they both mention being 14 and moving multiple times. Looking back, I was probably connecting dots that weren't actually meant to connect.

I'm also guilty of watching every movie like it's Lost or The Sixth Sense, waiting for the "everything suddenly makes sense" reveal.

But I can't shake this one.

The whisper.

The confession game.

The activism.

The rifle.

Individually, none of those prove anything.

Together, though, they paint a version of Emma that I honestly thought the movie was building toward. That's why the ending felt so flat to me. Not because I disliked where it went, but because I was convinced it was going somewhere else.

So...am I completely off base, or did anyone else walk away thinking the same thing?

Title says it all pretty much. Is there any videos on YouTube etc where someone’s made a book accurate depiction even if it’s low quality or just still frames? I think I’ve seen clips that are sorta done this way. But never like the entire book. Thanks!

***WORTH NOTING***

-The entire time the owl is solid white. There was an instance where the top if its head above the eyes was red. Like the area an owl would wear a shower cap on was red. I'm not sure what that was but otherwise it was always solid white

-prior to the main "plot" below there are clips I can only slightly recall that involved me hanging out with this white owl. That seemed to be a person that was inside an owl's body. It was like an advisor or trusted friend, I'm not 100% sure.

-Seems like the owl was making me feel like no matter what the thing I was doing was going to succeed. And I'm not sure why I think I felt that way but that's what I remember feeling.

-I felt that this dream was related to a goal I've been trying to achieve for a long time: For 3+ years now I've been really praying and trying to manifest a podcast/youtube/content creation business into fruition. And it's seemed like no matter what I do nothing works or even gives the semblance of working. But at the same time during these 3+ years I get tons of angel numbers, signs and synchronicities that point to exactly the opposite. In all this time I've never dreamed of anything about this manifestation goal. But this seemed to be the first time. Something had me feeling that that was what it was about and/or referring to.

****THE DREAM / THE PLOT***

I follow the white owl, who is flying up a hill. It's flying sorta low and staying back with me, like it knows I'm walking with it. It lands on perch and there's a room with people in seats/rows like a small comedy club kind of setting. The owl sat on a perch and people were just watching and would not look away. I was even trying to talk to them about how incredible the owl was and that I swear there's a person inside the owl (like the owl is a person in an owl's body because it's so smart or something). But the people would not even look away almost like I wasn't there or being ignored.

Several times in the dream I just am in the same or similar room and the owl is just there on the perch and people are watching it. And it is the center piece of the entire establishment. But it's never clear as to what the owl is doing or what entertainment they're getting out of it.

At the same time this is all happening in a building I'd bought for whatever business the owl is the center piece of.

I happened to be having an open house for the business.

And in a couple scenes the building didn't even have a roof. It was like a cinderblock wall with windows and no glass. But they were there within the walls watching the owl.

The building I had bought for this business had several big rooms, like 3-5. Like a rec center. And the rooms were all like middle school gymnasium sized. One room was like weight lifting and strength training. I had like one dumbbell in there and someone was pushing it around. Another room was like hiking training. And I remember thinking I wanted to fill half with dirt and make like a mock or small indoor hiking trail in there for testing equipment an training.

I remember I kept having to explain what each room was going to be and skepticism was in the air from people. And some of my adult loved ones, including my wife, may have been amongst them.

In my head I planned on buying the equipment and knew what I'd get. But at the time the rooms were all just empty except for a picnic table with a family sitting at it. And one kid asked when they could start. And I had to explain that it was just an open house and the business wouldn't be ready for a while. And he seemed disappointed.

There was also like a document that floated in or maybe the owl floated down holding it. And someone mentioned it was from investors wanting to know progress of the business and when they'd see a return on their money.

I remember feeling confident in the business itself and the plan in my head. But everyone was giving me unsolicited advice and telling me what I needed to do. And I felt so overwhelmingly anxious about it that I woke up.

**My content goal doesn't really have anything to do with fitness. There is like an aspect of my life where I'm trying to get healthier and I considered mentioning that in the "show". but it's not a major factor. So idk what that came from. Other than we passed a giant new gym on the way to the movies a few times this summer. And even in the dream I think I did say or think it'd be similar to that. Could be a throwaway part, idk...

Hello everyone! Like the title says I'm seeking some assistance with an XE Cisco router's outbound/ISP facing interface config as well as the ACLs for that traffic and making it STIG compliant.

In the XE Router STIG there's about a dozen or maybe dozens of rules asking for a separate ACL be created and added to the outbound to ISP interface. The rules either say allow/deny protocols and addresses etc etc. As well as how to configure the outbound interface.

But one of the issues is only one ACL can be applied to the interface. And I'm just sort of at a stopping point because how FN big is this master ACL gotta be? And it seems like the firewall would also be what blocks things, not an ACL on the router. Hence my reaching out here...

With zero shame, I'm asking if anyone can provide a very scrubbed sterile example of both their outbound interface and this giant master control ACL they have on their device. Again, scrub it to your heart's content. I'm just looking to get thrown a life preserver and save myself some stress. Because as soon as I think I've got it on lock, I'll have missed something and look dumb af.

And if there's something I'm missing the forest for the trees on this, let me know. Any advice is of course appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance!

My wife and my two younger kids are thinking about spending a couple days at Mammoth cave and the surround area in the near future. It's like 4 hours from us, and we love the great outdoors and most of my family doesn't hate a decent hike.

So if we were to stay at the little cabins at Mammoth Cave, is there enough to fill 2 days?

If you have any intel on the little mammoth cave cabins let me know, showers, bathrooms, comfort safety etc. And if your recommend any close-ish hotels or lodging instead.

Everything needs to be on the kid friendly side:

-Which Cave tour(s) do you recommends?
-Hiking trails that aren't awful awful, that lead to a view?

-Other tours of any kind? History, science, nature exhibits?

-Other local activities within a half hour drive that are awesome? Museums of any kind? I saw the little zoo.

-LOCAL FOOD??!! We're southern and love BBQ, Burgers, I love catfish, etc. And love trying the local flare wherever we go. And I'm not some yuppster either, I grew up on gas station biscuits and put peanuts in my coke. I'm a threat to whittle if you don't watch me too. So let me have it. Hole in the walls are welcome.

If you know any good CATFISH places (restaurants) even inside of an hour away, I'd like those too!

Basically looking to hit 2-3 highlighted places a day, just to say we've experienced the area.

Thank you!

Here’s a rundown of the show. Do you remember it?

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1XX4zEwwYY/?mibextid=wwXIfr

BLUF: we are standing up an air gapped network. There servers etc are not setup. Theres some make shift boxes in place for standing things up. But no jump boxes for a while. Update error messed up ISE gui so I have just cli and need to move iso over to uninstall/install.
///////////////

During an upgrade of the ISE bundle from 3.3 to 3.4 an error occurred. And now the Application Server is hung on INITIALIZING no matter what I try. It won’t even restore from a backup. Yes I have backups.

It just says restore isn’t available on this node type.
Can I change node type in CLI somehow!? Can’t find a way.

Also application reset-config does nothing. But erase my attempted repos.

**So im just limited to CLI. No gui whatsoever on this node.

And even though I can ssh into the ISE from my PC I can’t seem to get a host_key add (my pc ip) to work. It just says no known host and never creates a fingerprint/rsa key. So I’m at a stand still using my powershell PC as an sftp server.

NOTE: I have my ISE node #1 that’s functioning perfectly (I was upgrading to join them as an HA pair/PAN). So I have no idea why the second one took a dump doing the exact same upgrade I did days prior.

So I’m just gonna uninstall and try again. Which means I need to get the iso file on the box. But I can’t… :(

Are there any repositories hacks that no one knows?
IS there a way to use a USB drive by some backdoor to get the iso file on there? Is there some reason why I can’t get a host added for my Pc? I’ve even tried putting the iso on a catalyst switch and making it a tftp-server but it won’t transfer. Sams host key deal.

I’m basically just asking for some kind of hidden secret I can’t find online via traditional sources.

And a clear guide to doing a powershell sftp server for this would help too. Just in case I’m missing something. I’m not very well versed AT ALL in Linux.

Thanks!

We were sitting on the porch this morning. A group of neighbors sorta gather every other day or so for coffe.e We got to discussing TV from when we were younger and how it was hit or miss wither it was black and white. And for the life of me I could not remember too many shows I loved as kid.

For some reason Land of the Lost and Captain Kangaroo come to my first. But for some reason I can't come up with many more. I remember things like Hucklburry Hound but for some reason I'm drawing a blank. Just curious what else you all might remember from way back when.

Hello,

Does anyone have any good online resources for using the FMC with FTDs? I've got it all setup network wise, mgmt, inside/outside. Now I'm looking at rules, virtual routes, objects etc etc.

I was basically handed this box and have tabbed and googled my way until this point. I'd just like a SLIGHTLY more official way of setting up the meat and taters what an FMC and firewalls are supposed to do.

My previous experience is a lot of ASDM and Palo Alto gui. So I'm just curious of any videos, documents, or any sort of online guide that might assist in setting it up.

Yes I have the giant deal that you find, but it's TLDR-maxxing. I just need a video or abridged document. Because I'm an insanely quick learner, I just have to know where to start and what does what compared to how the other programs worked.

Thanks!
