Need Help with 5 Port Switch, Airport Express, and wired iMac

I recently purchased an airport express to accomodate my laptop's wireless capabilities. However, the airport express has only one ethernet port, as does my parents' modem. Thus, I could either hook up the airport or my parent's iMac. I chose the airport, which resulted in a few weeks worth of fights. To alleviate the problem, I purchased a linksys 5 port group switch, after someone told me I could use that to hook up both at the same time. Initially, the iMac wouldn't work. It registered what I was told was an invalid IP address. Then a cable technician came by, reset the modem (unplugged the battery), and now the airport does not work; it flashes yellow and says that it cannot detect the ethernet signal.
The iMac is running OSX 10.3 and the laptop OSX 10.4. I am not sure if the modem can only accomodate one IP address or if there is any way to share IP addresses. Do I need to change something with the DHCP on my laptop? Do I need to manually enter an IP? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm completely lost....and without wireless internet.

Instead of a switch you need a wireless router, because your modem will only assign one public ip address to the switch and that ip address will be forwarded to any one computer at a given time...You should replace the switch with a wireless router and it should resolve your concern...

How do i connect my 24 ports switch with e3000

hello everybody, i know its a newbies question....but there's always a begining...
I just bought a e3000 and I have a 24 ports switch. I would like to plug more than 8 pc...how do I proced ? I used to have a dlink router and just plug a cat5e from the dlint to the switch ... but it doesn't work with the e3000
thanx in advance....
Nay

It's an unmanaged switch. All you should have to do it plug it into a lan port of the router. Doesn't matter which port on the switch, there is no configuration of the switch.
What do you mean by not working? Are the link lights on? You aren't getting DHCP on clients on the switch or what's happening?

Configuring - Cisco 2921 with Switch Module/POE PS and 3750-x 24 port switch

This is what I have
- Cisco 2921 router
         with SM-ES2-24-P switch module and
                 POE power supply
-Cisco 3750x- 24 port Switch
I have port G1/0 (which connects to 24p Switch Module port g0/26 logically) configured with 3 sub interfaces (management, User and VOIP)
I want to connect 3750x to G0/1 on 2921 via fiber GBIC but want to use same three VLANs
I can not daisy chain 3750x via the switch module because it does not have fiber port.
I do not want to create another routed (g0/1) interface because I want to keep Users on both switches on the same subnet without further splitting the subnet in two.
I hope I am not making this confusing.
How can I bridge g1/0 and g0/1 so I can pass vlan traffic between two switches?
Second problem i have is ...
I have a VOIP connected to switch module (SM) and it is not getting any power.
I went in to all the interfaces on SM and issued power inline auto command
On the SM (sh power inline) - available is 0.0(w)
on the 2921 (sh power inline)
   - power supply status is good,
   - maximun power available is 280.
   - interface G1/0( which connects to SM)
      *device is unknown
      * powered off
     * allocated 0.0 watts.
I already tried resetting SM
Is there any other command I need to issue?
thanks for your help.

I'm having a similar issue. I can get trunked connectivity between the switch module and the router if I put the IP address on the router sub interface, but not if I put it on a VLAN interface. I was hoping to have it on a VLAN sub interface on the router so I could use Gig0/1 and Gig0/2 to connect other switches and have them on the same VLANs. I'm using Gig1/0 on the router side and Gig0/51 on the switch side (48-port module).
Any help? Am I on the wrong track altogether?

Using 79xx Phone PC access port to connect a Netgear 5 port switch

Cisco documentation indicates that on 79xx phones you can "Use the PC access port to connect a network device, such as a computer, to the phone". What types of problems might be encountered if that device is a Netgear Fast Ethernet Unmanaged FS105 five port switch? Is there any documentation indicating whether this "supported" or "not supported"?
I know that the speed on the devices connected to the Netgear will be cut to 10/100. The devices connected to the Netgear would include - at a minimum - a computer and a Cisco wireless access point. Other devices which might be connected could include additional computers and/or a printer.
The computer(s) would also need to access a distributed video stream daily.
We are running CallManager 8.6.2.21900-5 with phone types: 7940, 7941, 7945, 7965
Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide.

Will Cisco support you doing this? Not likely.
Will it work? I suppose, in theory, it should. Just don't complain if it doesn't.

Server wont communicate with new network switch.

Hi, I hope someone can help.
I have a small office network running Macs with OS 10.6.4, HPs with Windows XP, and a mac mini server running 10.6.4 server, file sharing only.
DHCP and internet access etc is controlled by a Netgear ADSL router. All machines are connected by a 16 port 10/100 Netgear switch.
The problem is I replaced the switch with a 10/100/1000 switch and all machines connect fine except the server. This will not connect at all with the new switch, not even do any lights come on. However if I connect the server to the old 10/100 switch then to the new gigabit switch it connects fine but this defeats the purpose of the gigabit access to the server and the high speed macs on the network. The reason I upgraded in the first place! The standard Macs are Imac G5 Intel based late Snow leopard models and they have no trouble with the new switch.
Does Snow Leopard server somehow remember specific hardware on the network when setup? And needs to be changed to recognize the new?? I tried switching everything off and restarting the whole network.
I don't have a heap of knowledge but thought this should have been simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, paul

Thanks for the reply.
No it is not managed, No uplink port, uplink is auto controlled on any port.
I have swapped and swapped and swapped this is what led me to using the old switch on the server.
This is what happens.
Putting the server cable from the server into the new gigabit switch Tried with 300m cable directly next to it. No connection on any of the 16 ports. tried several cables including longer ones etc.
Now if I use the same cable from the gigabit switch to any port on the old switch then connect a cable from any other port of the old switch to the server. Connection, no problems at all. I.E the Old switch is uplinking to the new.
It is as if the server says "hey where is the old switch I can't work without it" Thats why I thought maybe OS X server kept some sort of register of the devices when it is initially setup and this may need to be changed.
Also any other computer works fine when placed at the same access point as the server including the Standard Snow leopard Macs.
I am thinking maybe to reinstall the server OS to see what happens?
Was supposed to be a simple job. Both switches are physically exactly the same. Pull a cable out of port 1 and stick it in port 1 of the new switch etc plug it in and turn it on????

Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad? Or is the iPad USB adapter the safest route to take when traveling with device?

Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad?
Or is it better to travel with the Wall Charger provided with iPad?
Concerned about safety of the device. Thanks for your thoughts.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

Stacking with Cisco Blade Switches

Hi,
We have a HP p-class Blade System with two Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Modules (Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SE) for every enclosure. My question is how I can stack the two blade switches (in the same enclosure) so that every HP blade server to be connected with the two switches in the active/standby state? In other words, can and how I make a port-channel which includes ports from the two switches?
Unfortunately I couldn't found any documentation for the purpose.

Hi,
With the CGESM switches you have you cannot use 802.3ad teaming against the two blade switches. This is possible with the Cisco 3120 blade switches for HP c-class.
Now, in your case, you can use standard Active/Standby NIC teaming, where the active NIC of each server connects to one switch and the standby NIC connects to the other switch. Should a blade switch completely fail, all of the servers with their active NIC connected to the failed switch should see the link go down and switch over to the standby NIC on the second switch. This should work very well.
One problem that can happen however is that the blade switch itself does not completely fail. Instead maybe the blade switch uplink fails, or the upstream switch it is connected to fails. In this situation the server NIC does not experience a failure and continues to send traffic to the blade switch that does not have anywhere to send the traffic, a black hole. This is perhaps the problem you are seeing?
The fortunate thing is that Cisco has a solution to this problem called Trunk Failover with Link State Tracking. What this allows you to do is to tell the blade switch that if it experiences a failure on its uplinks that it should also bring down the links to the servers as well. This will cause the servers to see a failure on their active NIC and perform a switchover to the second blade switch.
I looked up your switch and found that your 12.2(25)SE1 code does not support this feature. You will need to upgrade to 12.2(25)SEE4 and you will be able to configure this on your switches.
Here is a link to see how this configuration works:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/blades/3020/software/release/12.2_25_sef1/configuration/guide/swethchl.html#wp1346176
Hope this helps.
If so please rate my posts.
Thanks,

How to connect the macbook with thunderbolt display 27" to TV with RGB port?

Hi,
I have the following equipments in hands:
1. Macbook PRO 15 inch with 1 thunderbolt port, OS is Mavericks 10.9.2
2. Apple Thunderbolt display 27" identical to this : http://www.apple.com/displays/
3. A Samsung TV with RGB port, & HDMI port.
I want all these displays ( macbook, Apple thunderbolt display & the Samsung Tv) connected at the same time, I had a trial to connect them using a minidispaly adapter to RGB port & HDMI port in the TV but it didnt worked.
Please help!
Thank you.

The Thunderbolt dock adds extra ports:
HDMI (up to 2560x1600 with the Elgato, 1920 x 1200 with the CalDigit)
3 USB 3
Ethernet
Audio in
Audio out
You could also use a Belkin Thunderbolt dock.
<http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U055/>
It includes a FireWire port, but no HDMI port, so would need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (1920 x 1200 max) for the TV. This would use the second Thunderbolt port, so the Belkin dock has to be used with the port on the back of the Thunderbolt display, not between the computer and display.
If you don't need the extra ports, use a Thunderbolt hard drive (with two Thunderbolt ports)
<http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/backup-plus-desk -mac-thunderbolt/>
This can be your Time Machine drive. Connect the Thunderbolt display to the computer, one port of the drive to the port on the back of the display, and a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to the second Thunderbolt port on the drive.
You will have three displays with differing resolutions, so mirroring is not going to fill each screen at full resolution.

Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links. Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support. Anyone have any Ideas! My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it. Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.

What types of samples are included with the EXSP?

I'm considering purchasing Logic Express, but wanted to know what types of samples (orchestral, synth, drum, keyboard, etc) are included with the EXSP player. Can anyone owning Logic Express tell me what types of samples are included?
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.3)

Hello, Jeb247.
This is merely a matter of personal opinion, but I believe that the included samples for EXSP are among the better features of the program. Granted, there are some cases where you have several instruments loosely based on the same samples run through different filters, but you are likely to find a decent array of what you need.
You get all the Garageband instruments, as well as the ability to load the Jam Packs into EXSP. While the following list probably contains some overlap with those samples, it will still give you an idea of what's out there:
The top-level hierarchy lists 41 different groups of sounds. After each listing, I'll note the approximate number of 'instruments' in each group:
Piano (10)
Guitars (11)
Bass (5)
Strings (9)
Horns & Winds (9)
Ethnic Instruments (2)
Voices & Choir (3)
Drum Kits (12)
Effects(~50)
Percussion & Specials (2)
Analog: Bass (45), Leads (20), Pads (17), Percussive Waves (44), SpectrumSQ (25), Sweeps (30), Synthcomp (33), Waveforms (50+)
Digital Chromatic Kits (12), Initial Waveforms (60+), Motion & FX (36), Pad Synths (46), Percussive Waves (23), Synths (31)
FM Bass (17)
Synth Atmospheres Layers (31), Singles (40)
Synth Bass (45), Brass (12), Chords (21), Leads & Hooks (30), LFO Synths (21), Multi Sequence (6), Pads (44), Percussive Synths (44), Poly (28), Sidechain Chords (14), Spacious Effects (40), Strings (16), Sweeps & Swells (32), Vocalish (25)
Now, as to the quality of the sounds... your mileage may vary. For orchestral stuff, nothing appeals to my ears like the Kurzweil -- largely because of those smooooooooooth output filters. That's not to say that the EXSP stuff isn't worth checking out; I just happen to use it for electronic textures and percussion rather than acoustic emulations. The drums simply don't cut it for me -- not nearly enough punch. But -- as I've mentioned before, you ears may report different pleasure levels.
Suffice it to say that the EXSP comes with a substantial array of music-making potential. For the money (a freebie w/ Logic Express) it's a really good deal. Shortcomings in its sound set can be overcome by the careful purchase of additional material where your ears report unsatisfactory sounds. If you don't like the drums, iDrum or Battery might be a good idea (or my personal favorite: an outboard drum machine with dead-short latency...); if the orchestra stuff is weak, there are alternatives there, too.
And your options for synth textures are beyond counting -- though I can specifically recommend the utterly astounding (and free!) Alphakanal "Automat". And you can have a pile of fun with the (equally free) NUSofting daHornet. And... and... the list goes on.
Cheers,
Michael

Cannot connect 4-port switch to hub3

Hi, recently had infinity installed and we are absolutely impressed with it and speeds in excess of 75down which is fantastic!
So the setup we have is the router downstairs, and an ethernet going from that to the 4-port switch which was all set up for us by the engineer.
What I wanted to do however, was to plug another 4-port switch (a white 'PEAK' branded wifi switch) into one of the 4 ports of the hub3 in order to increase the capacity up to 7 ethernet sockets.
This setup worked fine when we was with sky over on the old DSL line where the 4-port swtich simply went into skys netgear switch and worked automatic.
However, since switching to bt infinity, for whatever reason, this white switch will not work with BT's hub3. By plugging a computer into the white switch, i can access the actual routers setup page by typing in 192.168.1.254, and can access all the settings. The following settings come up...
INTERNET: Connection Method - DHCP
Internet IP Address: 192.168.1.67
LAN: IP Address 192.168.1.254
LAN: Network Mask 255.255.255.0
LAN DHCP Server: ON
But like I say, the switch, which has got a cable coming from one of the HUB3's 4 ports into my old white PEAK routers INTERNET port, will not allow my old switch to access the internet.
So im really confused. Why will my old switch not work on the BT Infinity HUB3?

Thanks for both your replies. I read them earlier in the day, and been trying a few things out...
1st, I tried plugging the hub3 into lan4 on the peak switch, and the other 2 (sky and roku), along with my laptop for testing purposes into 1, 2 and 3, and all worked great!
Well... all wasnt so great, the connection was sporadic and intermittent, ping was low, and throughput was fast, but it was on and off. A speedtest.net would stall, web links sometimes took 2 or 3 clicks, and so on.
So what have I learnt? Well, the fact that it has an internet port (which I was wrongly trying to use before), means that it isnt a basic switch.
So today, I went and bought http://www.tp-link.dk/products/details/?model=TL-SF1005D. Plugged that in the same way, and everything works perfect!
So now, I have the router (downstairs), plugged into the hub3 (upstairs via existing ethernet run throuth the stairs), 3 ports plugged into 2 pc's and 1 youview box, the 4th into a powerline socket upstairs,, with the other powerline socket plugged in downstairs behind the TV, connecting to the tp-link switch socket 5, with the sky+HD and Roku XL plugged into 1 and 2 on the switch respectively, and after testing I now everything running lightening fast with HD on demand, and the world is good
So thanks for both your advice, i learnt a bit today.

Help with expanding port on WRT54Gs PLEASE!?!?!

Hey guys. I won't go into all of the details as to why exactly I am doing this specific setup, but it is a mix of WIFI range, using left over equipment for cost concerns, and a SONOS system being involved...
My GOAL setup:
Modem ------ Internet port - WRT54Gs (wireless router) - LAN port ------- run through two jacks and through the attic ------ ***Switch or secondary router*** ---- Two etherent cables to 2 devices (PC ***AND*** SONOS system)
This setup currently works just fine for getting my PC internet:
Modem ------ Internet port - WRT54Gs (wireless router) - LAN port ------- run through two jacks and through the attic ------ PC
In the "Switch or secondary router" part of the diagram above I have tried a 2nd WRT54Gs with correct non-overlapping IP settings, DHCP server turned off on the dowstream router without success. I have also tried just now a brand new "plug and play" Linksys SE1500 switch (without a 2nd router) in the same spot in the line. None of these work and my computer reports I am not on a network with each of these. I have power cycled and rebooted everything a thousand times in every conceivable order.
Any thoughts are appreciated to help me solve this month long puzzle.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is going to drive me nuts...
So this is currently working:
Main router (LAN port) ---- switch (in same room) ----- split to SONOS (short cable) and PC (LOOONG cable to other room)
I was using this same quite long cable as a temp cable in my PC room from the wall to PC (which then goes through my attic/wall run)
This seems to point to my run through the attic but how can that be it if that run works fine with all these same cables going straight into my PC??

Faulty but refused a port switch as they are alloc...

First off someone at BT/Openreach really does need to address what is a truly broken issue management and escallation process at Openreach. It doesn't take much effort to provide feedback and information to Customers yet Openreach appear to be completely incapable of this.
So, 23rd Aug my infinity that has been working for months goes from 22Mbps down/5Mbps up to 10Kbps down/7.5Mbps up - yes, 10k!
I normally use a draytek 2750n so I swapped that out and put back the standard Openreach modem and HH3 that BT supply - no change in speeds.
So I call BT, go through all the normal off and ons until an engineer visit to the house is arranged for the following weds. The engineer spends a few hours trying to sort it out, confirms that all is fine between the house and the cabinet but i need a port switch - Openreach refuse this as the ports are assigned for new installs. I'm supposed to get a call back to arrange this - no call.
I call BT and they say an engineer will visit the cabinet/exchange on Monday 3rd (this week). I get home in the evening to find that nothing has changed but do have a message on the answerphone from the Engineer informing me that he has sorted a few things out and given a few days everything will be back to normal - that does happen right?!?
I'm straight on the phone to BT who arrange an engineer who will sort everything out today and call me to confirm so that I can check. I check at 5pm today - no change. I ring BT - Openreach cancelled the Engineer because the engineer from Monday closed his call - after I'd rung on Monday and booked for today.
During this call I was told that the Engineer from Monday 3rd had also requested a port switch and been refused, no spare ports ( again I expect they are reserved for new Customers). So despite the message I'd received he knew that a port switch was required. I'm told that an engineer is now coming onFriday and will check everything is working. My obvious question is 'are there now ports available for existing customers'. The response was that the engineer would find out on Friday and book an Engineer for another date if not.
Now as a customer who has a contract with BT I expect faults to be fixed in a timely manner without constant chasing by myself. I do not expect BT to refuse to fix my fault becuase all spare ports are allocated for new customers - surely a breach of contract.
I've now been without Infinity for 2 weeks and I have little faith that Openreach will resolve it next time or put in place the required Engineers to resolve the problem.
Anyone any ideas how I can get a resolution to the port switch I require and ensure that Openreach do what needs to be done?

So another engineer visit to fix the problem. First of all he tries to get out of switching the port but we stand firm and tell him that two other engineers have already identified the issue. Off he goes to do a lift and switch ?
He comesback, plugs in his magic box and tells my Wife that it says we should get 25mb - I'm guessing that this device just reads the profile rather than testing the line as when he used http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ to test the speed on our laptop rather than any of the BT sites and showed my Wife that he had managed to get 5Mbps and not to worry as this would increase back over 20Mbps overnight. He did mention that
I get home this evening to discover that we are getting 10k downstream, 4.5m up. How is this possible - well the only way I can think is that the ports have been switched back again. Even if thats not the case why would the speed decrease from what he tested to such a degree and why would he expect the speed to increase by 400%+ overnight?
So, 15 days after reporting the fault, 3 engineers, 3 hours on the phone to a call centre that isnt even the company responsible for the problem and the only thing that has been acheived is a slight reduction in upstream speed. Unreal
Oh, and the call I was promised by a manager in India that would be between 7 pm and 8 tonight to confirm that everything was fixed - i guess it was too much to expect that to happen.
Here's hoping that the Mods are able to help as I don't know what else to do.

4 port switch to 8 port 1GB, iMac loses ethernet cable

We are getting prepped for an upgrade from our 10MB internet service to 1GB fiber. We were trying to do the easy things first, but have run into an unexpected problem.
We use a 4 port switch to distribute our current DSL signal to several locations in the house (never with any problem.) To handle the additional speed and add extra spots, we bought and installed an 8 port 1GB switch in exactly the same location. Everything works as previously except my iMac.
For whatever reason (and I would LOVE to hear opinions on why) the Mac now says it does not see an ethernet cable (the same cable, of course) and I lose the internet. The only change is the switch itself.
Am I missing a requirement for changing settings on the Mac to deal with this switch? We have not changed the input speed, we are still on a 10MB DSL. We're stumped.
BTW, if I plug the 8 port switch in, and use a 1GB USB dongle with my current ethernet cable, the iMac works fine. And it still works with the 4 port switch. Definitely not a cable problem. Stumped. Many thanks for any and all ideas.

Thanks for both your replies. I read them earlier in the day, and been trying a few things out...
