Is there such a switch?

Do cisco do a 24 port 1000Mbs switch that you can control each port speed through a web based software?

L2 Switches......Cisco, Dell And HP

Aug 9, 2009

we are a small shop...

Not looking to buy another switch but we have a crapshoot of switches around. Dell 5448,

HP 2910 and a Cisco 3560.

I'd like to keep the the Cisco back in HQ stock since it's a POE switch.

We are colocating just 1 SAN intially. Max of maybe 7-8 Servers total in the future. Not alot of bandwidth and doing L2 traffic only. Any issues with either the Dell or HP in the colo environment from a production standpoint. We have used a couple of Procurves in our environment, and the dell switches were freebies that were part of our last order.

Basically, it would look like this

ASA5510 serving as main headed VPN

2 Branch Offices connecting to it

One L2 Switch. 2 - 3 Seperate Vlans with a trunk port back out to the ASA5510

Cisco Switches - Traffic Shaping Required

Jun 9, 2008

I was checking out the switch products from Cisco and I noticed that there is quite a few products that been discounted, and I am trying to find correct switches that does traffic shaping on port for inbound and outbound.

I preferred they are 48 ports with 2 Gigabit uplinks, with Enterprise L3 image and it is little difficult to find the correct older models that is being sold on ebay to pick up the correct one.

I am also open to Extreme and Foundry switches as well, but I rather like to stick to one type for deployment, since I am working on the plan to deploy 2 core switches which all edge switches will hook into it.

Switches

Nov 23, 2007

I am building an advanced network in a big building which will be used by desktop/printers and backend thin servers, which requires high-available network and consume high bandwidth all this thru categorie 6 cables (RJ-45).

The idea is to build different path with optical fibers and to connect each part of the building with it's own optical fiber to the server room (where we run Microsoft company network servers, SAN, backup, and external access) using a 10/100/1000 switch and optical fiber for long distance.

So I though about using switches which have at least :

48 ports 10/100/1000 (auto negociation)
4 ports 10 gE

for now I will not use many features but with time I could create some trunk, and use some advanced *routing* (switching) features.

As the budget is also not unlimited, I thought about buying :

Edge switch :
§ HP ProCurve 2900-48G J9050A [url]

with X2 extension HP ProCurve 10-GbE X2-SC SR Optic J8436A [url]

Core switch :
§ HP ProCurve 6400cl J8433A [url]

As I am studying any network vendor (but not such as 3com, netgear, dlink, linksys), but more such as HP, Extreme, Cisco, Foundry I am opended to your model ideas for me needs!

Switches

Apr 1, 2007

I am in the market for some new switches and I was going to buy some HP stuff, but a friend of mine recommended 3com....their prices are dirt cheap....any experience with them?

Does anyone have any words to compare and contrast the two based on experience?

NIC Bonding And Switches

Jul 2, 2008

I just stumbled across mention of bonding two NICs to serve as one. (E.g., 100Mbps NIC + 100Mbps NIC = 'virtual' 200 Mbps NIC, as far as everything on the network is concerned.)

I'd been familiar with the concept for quite some time, but I guess I never really thought it through until just now...

How does this work with switches? It seems to me that the answer should be a flat, "It doesn't." But it seems that it does work. How does the switch merrily map an IP to two different ports? Do the two NICs maintain their MACs? (Wouldn't two MACs to one IP cause even more problems?)

L3 Switches With Ipv6

Sep 12, 2007

to buy some more Layer 3 switches but I'd like to get ipv6 support. I like the Cisco 3550 but it does not support ipv6.

Can someone recommend a switch in the same price range (less than $1400 for 48 ports) that supports ipv6? This will be used for connecting to customer servers.

Recommendations On Layer2 10G Switches

Jun 28, 2008

basic layer2 10G, most everything out there has more advanced L3 features which is fine but aren't nessecary, they maybe used at some point in the future.

Currently looking at the cisco 4900M as it appears to be very cost effective at ~$10k/ for the chassis w/8 port 10gb base, + xenpack cost and it isn't a very costly piece of gear.

Choosing Ethernet Switches

Feb 22, 2007

We're ready to setup 3-4 42U racks for servers and are in need of choosing Ethernet switches. What do you guys use and why?

I'm looked at Cisco switches, but lost in their product forest. I'm looked at Express 500, 2960 and 3750-E models. Is there any more difference (in exception of stacking, cli and hot-swap fan/psu) that I need to consider? Prices differentiate too much.

I'm also looked at Linksys/D-Link business products and they seems to have the same features as Cisco Express series, but only 50% cheaper.

Opinions On Extreme Networks Switches

Mar 5, 2007

I had the chance to work with the summit24 switches, and I personally liked them. It is straight-forward in my opinion for the Web Interface compared to others I have seen and the pricing seems to be reasonable.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of their switching devices.

Rsyn --backup --backup-dir Switches For Incremental Backs

Jan 26, 2007

I current do some rsync backups with a command like so every day

rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/

What I want to do is have some incremental backups in there in subdirectories. So, for example, something like this on the remote server
/home/user/something.tuesday
/home/user/something.friday

I thought the --backup --backup-dir Switches were used to store just the files that had changed in seperate directories, am I wrong on that?

I've read everything I could find, including the big rsnapshot scripts, but I'm not able to do what I want, it seems so simple but something's not right, am I wrong that subdirs should have just files that are new or have changed. I tried various things like this, but had no luck

rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home.Thursday --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/

Cisco PIX 501

Jan 13, 2008

I just got a Cisco PIX 501 from my IT Guy for home use and he didn't reset the firewall to default settings so there are ton of old commands in here.

Is there a command I can use to reset the firewall back to the factory default settings?

Or is there anyway I can flash it back to factory default settings?

Which Cisco Firewall?

Aug 21, 2007

We are looking to replace our existing WatchGuard Firebox's with a hopefully more reliable firewall from Cisco's range although I'm a bit lost when it comes to the different ranges.

Could somebody suggest a firewall that is capable of:

1: Both NAT & Drop-in (bridge) mode
2: Pretty low bandwidth requirements, no more than 10mbit/s traffic
3: SNMP Monitoring
4: High availability pairing

Cisco Routers

Mar 25, 2009

I am on a tight budget for a Cisco firewall. I am browsing and seeing some affordable options in the x600 series.

Please tell me, which series is best?:
1600
2600
3600

The higher the better?..
Also what about submodels, like is 1650 better than 1600?

And how can I tell how much DRAM each one can take up to?

Cisco Guard

Apr 22, 2009

I see a lot of DDos related articles here at WHT. We've got hit multiple times by DDos and had to handle those attacks everytime with a different approach.

The largest one and the most well know one (we were in Times Mag, AP news, CNN, slashdot, you name it - just do a search about us on WHT) was Russian botnet cyberattack - we had to anaylyze netflow and then block everything on our edge routers, then on the firewall and then locally on the servers.

Since then we had number of other attacks, some of them we were not able to defend on the server level, while, as you can understand we can't do netwflow and manual intervention evey time somebody gets an attach.

We have very good scripts which allow to mitigate huge number of DDos attack, whet our scripts are finding attacking IPs and blocking them automatically - still some attacks could be blocked only on the router level.

I've read that Cisco Guard (I am interesed in 65xx version of it) suppose to mitigate DDos attacks in automatic mode.

Cisco Routing

Jul 27, 2007

I am setting up a small ccna lab and i have RIP working and i can ping my lan from both routers, but only certain hosts on the lan from the one router the setup is

LAN (192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0)
|
/
router 1 E0 192.168.1.45
Serial0 10.10.10.1
|
/
Serial0 10.10.10.2 (of router2)
|
/
E0 192.168.3.250
E1 192.168.2.250
Lo 192.168.5.4

I can ping 192.168.1.102 from router 2 and 192.168.1.45 but no not 192.168.1.201 ... or 192.168.1.1

also i can ping 192.168.5.4 from 192.168.1.102 which is a linux box and an ip route to tell it that 192.168.5.0 can be gotten from 192.168.1.45

Which Cisco Router To Use

Jul 11, 2007

I am currently looking at these Cisco switches:

- Cisco 2924 WS-C2924-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 2950 WS-C2950-24 Catalyst Switch
- Cisco 3512 WS-C3512-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 3524 WS-C3524-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 3548 WS-C3548-XL-EN Enterprise Switch

1) I was recommended to chose the XL-EN model switches because it seems they have more Memory, but the second one in the list (Catalyst) is not a XL-EN, is that going to have any affect performance wise? or it doesn't really matter?

2) I was also recommended to choose managed switches because that way I can use the SNMP features to measure bandwidth, are any of the switches above unmanaged?

3) I also want to be able to manage the switch remotely, web managed, are any of the switches above web-manageable?

4) Most importantly, when my datacenter give me a 100mbit drop, I dont know which port to plug it in in the 29** series. In the 35** I see it clearly but I am not able to see it in the 29**, any ideas?

5) On some of these switches I see a special port called "Console", what is it? where does that connect to?

6) Do any of the switches above not have a console port?

Cisco ASA Security

Sep 28, 2007

My network currently looks like this :

ISP ->> L3 Switch ->> Firewall (Transparent Mode) ->> Switch ->> Servers

I have a single /24 and my firewall is on x.2 and routes traffic for each of the servers.

Now i have a new Cisco ASA 5510 that i want to replace the aging firewall currently in place, however i dont want to put the firewall into transparent mode because i dont want to lose all the functionality.

Now with most firewalls your outside subnet cannot be the same as your inside subnet, which is fine if you are using NAT but i dont want to NAT. I need all of my servers to remain with their public ip addresses.

So what is the ideal way to setup something like this? Request my ISP give me a /30 for the ASA outside interface or something? And then ask them to route my /24 through the /30 new subnet?

Cisco Licensing

May 16, 2007

From the posts in this forum it would appear that a number of forumites are colocation service providers and web hosters that use Cisco gear.

I was reviewing the Cisco End User License Agreement that was included in the router box. Under the General Limitations section, "Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:", item (iv) states, "use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau basis or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Cisco".

Does this mean that a service provider is required to acquire
a separate license similar to the Microsoft Service provider license?
