SBI Woes :-) Well… Contd..

February 8th, 2010 rsivanandan No comments

 

Remember the guy I mentioned in my first blog entry about this? The guy who took the account first in this branch, has not been using this ATM/Debit Card (By the way the Debit Card still doesn’t work, it is only an ATM card)..

Old Blog Entry – Read this for the background;

So he is into a little more of banking (this time shelling out money, got a home loan). Obviously his SBI account is linked for automatic ECS debit and what happened is this;

The fella (poor) tried to use his ATM Card and had forgotten the PIN for the card by now. So he tried thrice after which it got locked. The hero goes to the bank and asks them to help reset his PIN for which the bank guy goes;

“Sir, you can try it tomorrow, it would get unlocked by then”

“Yeah, but I do not remember the PIN, can it be reset” – the guy goes blank on the thought, how the hell the blocking gets cleared after a day.

The deal is this, after 3 wrong PIN entries – it blocks the card but only for 24 hours.. Wonderful isn’t it? That’z next gen banking…

Bank personnel tells him that ‘the resetting doesn’t work at all (after staring at his monitor)’. Apparently this software also is screwed up, as he says.  So he goes, you try for entering combinations for couple more days and if it still doesn’t work then we’d have to give you a new ATM Card instead of a PIN reset!

Nice stand Mr. Khan. Had you apologized, it’d be re-assuring of another Sri Lankan situation!  If you decide to watch the reaction of Shah Rukh Khan, please wait for the advertisement to be over first please :-(

 

Be an Indian first folks, then comes the other sensitive states…

SSG-5 Wireless Configuration

February 2nd, 2010 rsivanandan No comments

Configuring SSG-5 wireless is a breeze really. The only commands needed here are listed as below;

Assuming that your wireless network is your trusted network and you want to have this network use untrust ip address to be used (natted) while going to internet or other networks.

 

   1: set interface "wireless0/0" zone "Trust"

   2: set interface wireless0/0 ip 192.168.2.1/24

   3: set interface wireless0/0 nat

   4: set interface wireless0/0 ip manageable

   5: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server service

   6: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server auto

   7: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server option gateway 192.168.2.1

   8: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server option netmask 255.255.255.0

   9: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server option domainname mycompany.com

  10: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server option dns1 192.168.20.20

  11: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server option dns2 192.168.128.50

  12: set interface wireless0/0 dhcp server ip 192.168.2.33 to 192.168.2.126

  13: unset interface wireless0/0 dhcp server config next-server-ip

  14: set ssid WLAN interface wireless0

1 –> sets the interface wireless0/0 in Trust Zone.

2 –> sets the IP address on the wireless interface.

3 –> sets the wireless interface mode to nat.

4 –> sets the wireless interface manageable (ping/ssh/web etc).

5 –> tells the dhcp server service to be ON on wireless interface.

6 to 13 –> sets the different network IP parameters to be used by DHCP Server service.

14 –> defines the SSID to which the users should connect.

Note that this hasn’t specified any wireless encryption part here. This is intended to be a simple post.
