PVLAN Guidance

Greetings forum. So I am working on a project that could potentially make use of PVLANs to isolate some hosting servers we are possibly going to bring online in the coming weeks. We currently have Catalyst 4507R switches as the core at our DC running IOS version 15.0(2)SG7. We are using SVIs for Inter-vlan routing on the 4507Rs. We are running VTP version 2 currently. I am trying to lock down some answers with regards to running PVLANs in my environment. Any help here is much appreciated.
I have read that to run PVLANs, you need to put your switches in transparent mode before enabling PVLANs. The thing I am not sure on is why. Do they say this because only VTP version 3 supports the synchronization of PVLANs in the VTP domain, and without version 3 your PVLANS will not be propagated, or is there an another reason to put your switches in transparent other than this. I understand that without v3 I would have to manually configure the PVLANS on my switches that would needs them. Just trying to understand if thats the reason they say to put VTP in transparent mode before implementing PVLANS or if there is something else to it I am missing. Can I run PVLANs using VTPv2 and manually configure the PVLANs on the switches that need them?
Secondly, in order to switch to using VTPv3 from VTPv2, are there any gotchas I need to be aware of. I have two VTP servers in my VTP domain. I understand VTPv3 works differently with regards to VTP updates. When I change to version 3, will the current VLAN Database be overwritten causing me to loose my current VLANs, or will the current VLANs stay as is while I go about switching all my switches to VTPv3. Would like to avoid wiping out my network if possible.
Third, I have a VMWare ESX setup. These new hosts will be VM servers. We do not have a license to support the Distributed VSwitch which allows PVLAN support for ESX VMs. These VMs are running on a Dell M1000e chassis with Cisco WS-CBS3130G-S switches in it. They have limited support for PVLANs. We have VLAN trunk uplinked to our core switches from these blade switches, and then trunk to the VMWare standard switch so we can control VLAN placement of the VLAN hosts. Looks like this:
4507R---------------->WS-CBS3130G-S----------->VMWareStandardSwitch--------->VMWare Guests
Trunk Trunk Access
I believe there is some way to set up using PVLANs using a setup like this. I think using an isolated PVLAN trunk port. The Blade switch does not seem to support that feature (running 12.2(40)EX1). This is said to be the desired practice when you have upstream switches which do not support PVLANs. Since my VMWare switch does not support them, but the switch linking the core to the vswitch does somewhat I am trying to understand the issues that would be seen there.
Again lots if questions. Any help would be much appreciated.

Data Federator - Building Web Services Data Source - Request Guidance

Hello -
I am trying to build a web services data source in Data Federator.
I have:
1. In ECC, I have created a web service, proxy, port, endpoint, etc. and am testing it with WS Navigator
2. I have created a Project in Data Federator of the type web service
    a. Here I have assigned the WSDL URL (generated in ECC) as the URL
    b. I have setup web service authentication using the same userid, pwd in the web services definition (note: I have set the
        web services authentication to 'NONE' to avoing authorization issues)\
    c. I am now trying to "Generate Operations"
I keep getting the error :
The File Access Parameters are not valid (directory path = <HERE IS THE PATH TO THE WSDL WITH THE HOST/PORT stripped OUT>; file pattern = document
I believe that it is finding the WSDL, becuase when I change the WSDL from 'Document' to 'RPC', the error changes with the file pattern = rpc.
What needs to be done to the file access parameter piece.
PLEASE provide guidance. Thanks.

Ananya,
We are using XI to load data to BI from source system. XI basically uses the same concept as Web Services - Real time data concept via RFC embeded in Proxies.
I was using web services to test data load - eventually we will use XI.
KJs blog is pretty good. I was able to get data loaded - after several iterations and several OSS notes. It is still not perfect - there are several manual steps . I am going to pick KJs brain on that.
We are on SP10 and looks like there are several bugs in RSRDA. Some of these are addressed in SP11 an SP12.
Some notes to consider are
0001003963, 0001008276,0001009260 and 001003265.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Sharepoint (Public facing site) Project Guidance

Hi friends ,
This is my first sharepoint project (SP 2013) for which I have been asked to develop a public facing internet site.
I do have a basic idea about certain concepts of sharepoint but still I'm looking for a guidance to how to go about with the project.
Requirements :
1. There are many modules. And each module has many courses.
ROLES : Anonymous Users : Read and download
Content Authors : Add, Edit, Delete content.
Approvers : Publish content
Need to implement cross-site publishing model (correct me if I'm wrong).
3. In one of the webpages of the website, there will be a table in the layout displayed as below: in which anonymous users can only read and download
documents. The brochure icons should allow to download document when clicked. Only authors have the authority to do any editing of the content as mentioned earlier.
Title
Duration
Brochure
--------------------------------------------MODULE 1------------------------------------
Course 1
Course 2
--------------------------------------------MODULE 2------------------------------------
Course 1
--------------------------------------------MODULE 3------------------------------------
Course 1
Course 2
Course 3
4. Authors should have an interface where they can input the dates for individual courses for the entire year like in a calendar control and
display to anonymous users (only read) a set of all the courses scheduled like below:
            Jan       Feb     Mar
Apr      May     June    July     Aug     Sep     Oct       Nov      Dec
            --------------------------------------------MODULE 1------------------------------------
Course1 08-10                         02-04
Course2                       05-09
--------------------------------------------MODULE 2------------------------------------
Course1 08-10                         02-04
Course2                       05-09
QUERIES :
1. Based on my minimal knowledge, I suppose I should use document library for creating courses under specific modules.
But how do I customize the look and feel of the library based on the layout mentioned.
2. How to implement the calendar kind of functionality and how to combine all the scheduled courses together to be displayed in a webpage?
3. should I first design the authoring and publishing sites, then create master pages and then go for creating all list and libraries? What should
be the protocol for the above project?
Guys, its my humble request to please help me out :( :( :(.....Thank you in advance. Sorry for such a long description. Spare me on this. Have a good
day :)

1. Since I want a column called brochure which should be an icon (for each course record) and which will invoke upload/download( for authors) and only download for anonymous users, is there a datatype that is supported in custom list...because I couldn't
find any. Or do I have to implement a document library app?
Inder: Try Image content type. But on click it will download image and not whole course material. So my suggestion here is to create a calculated column to pull image and link download.
2. I would be very grateful if you could provide me with some useful links which might have a step by step procedure for implementing site architechture :
a)cross site publishing model
b) how to define the user permissions and content approval workflow for approvers
c) Customizing style of the custom list through sharepoint designer
Correct me if I'm wrong :
The protocol should be :
1. To plan site architechture which involves implementing cross site publishing model Inder: Yes, if required
2. Defining Lists and libraries ( I hope document library app is not required for the above specs..custom list should be fine) Inder : Yes
3. Customizing the style of custom lists and calendar functionality through sharepoint designer. : Inder: Prefer using CSS and designer.
4. Applying master pages and page layouts. : Inder Perfect. 3-4 can go together

New Indian Turn by Turn Voice Guidance Maps with o...

Dear Friends,
MapmyIndia.com offers Sygic mobile maps (http://inav.mapmyindia.com/product/sygic/sygic_mobile_maps.html) claims to have intuitive design, easy to read as you drive, crystal-clear spoken voice instructions and route guidance with map coverage of 401 cities all over India. What is also claimed is MapmyIndia Sygic mobile maps, once installed, are stored on your phone/SD card. This means that you do not require a GPRS or data connection to get them working. What's more, there are no subscription or recurring charges. The one time cost is 55 US Dollars which would be a great saving as I often use the map while in Indian roads. This provides me a better option compared to Nokia Maps which I like but is expensive and Google Maps which doesnt yet come with turn by turn voice guidance for Sybian 5 platforms (only available in Android 2).
The customer care of MapmyIndia mentioned that it is totally compatible with my new Nokia N97. However, I would like to find out if any of you have used this service and if it affects the performance of the phone (speed, memory, crashing etc) in any way. How does Nokia looks at such third party alternatives?
Many thanks for your help and for sharing your experience.

Dear cjlim, Thanks for the input. Well, in terms of updated maps, the google can't be matched. However, Nokia map updates do not necessarily cover all the rapid changes thats taking place all over India. As per your suggestion I had a chat with the customer service rep of mapmyIndia and the response are as following which says the update is every six months and it could be downloaded free.
team_mapmyindia2 [3:09:09 PM]: Welcome to our real-time support chat. How can I help you today?
[3:09:16 PM]: good afternoon
N97 user [3:09:35 PM]: Hello-I am planning to buy the MapmyIndia Sygic mobile maps for Nokia N97
team_mapmyindia2 [3:09:47 PM]: May I know your name, contact no. and your current location to assist you better ………
N97 user [3:10:04 PM]: Could you please suggest how often I can download the latest maps and how much additional would the downloading maps would cost
[3:10:56 PM]: we update every 6 months.
[3:11:18 PM]: Is it free to download the updates?
team_mapmyindia2
[3:11:41 PM]: yes.
N97 user [3:11:55 PM]: Thanks for your help
team_mapmyindia2 [3:11:56 PM]: sygic mobile maps will cost you Rs 2,490/-
N97 user [3:12:11 PM]: Yes, thats what I found from the web
team_mapmyindia2 [3:12:12 PM]: so when are you planning to buy?
N97 user [3:12:31 PM]: Do you get any report of Nokia phones crashing after loading the maps
team_mapmyindia2 [3:12:41 PM]: nope.
N97 user [3:12:48 PM]: Thanks

How can I connect my MBA 11" 2012 to my Imac 21.5" mid 2010 as a display unit. Connected using a mini display port cable and this did not work. Any guidance welcome. Thanks. John

I bought a belkin mini display unit cable( new) and connected the thunderbolt port in the MBA ( 11" , mid 2012) to the Imac mini display unit port using this cable. Pressed the CMD & F2 keys on the Imac keyboard as required but this did not work. Should I try with another cable ? Should i try with a thunderbolt cable ( recommended by appple support ) -- but they too were not sure about this. Is the Mid 2010 21.5" Imac not able to function as an display unit? Any guidance would help and will be much appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Only the 27-inch iMac and Mid 2011 and newer iMacs can be used as an external screen, so you can't use your Mac as an external screen. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
You can still use your iMac as an external display, using an application like ScreenRecycler

New iPhone user needs guidance setting up 4 iPhones for family - best approach?

Hi - I'm a new iPhone user tasked with setting up 4 iPhones for family (three 4S, one 3GS). I set up the first 4S using my mother's existing Apple ID (she has an iPad) and I think (hope) hers is fine. When I set up my father's phone, my sister said to enter my mother's Apple ID during setup since they wanted to use a single Apple ID for iTunes purchases. The setup screen I'm referring to the 7th screen into the setup process for a new iPhone 4S (after the Welcome, Language, Country/Region, Location Services, Wi-Fi Networks, and Set Up iPhone screens), where it asks you to "Sign In with an Apple ID" or "Create a Free Apple ID". This screen was where I entered my mother's Apple ID into my father's phone.
By entering my mother's Apple ID on my father's phone at this point during setup, I seem to have created a "clone" of her phone - their phone numbers are distinct and they can call each other but iMessages sent to either of them initially appeared on BOTH phones. I think I have now fixed that by creating a separate Apple ID for my father after the fact and entering it under Settings>Messages. Thinking I could also enter his new Apple ID under Settings>iCloud, I found I could not change it from my mother's Apple ID (it's greyed out). I saw a recommendation in another post to click on the red "Delete Account" button at the bottom, but will that delete my mother's entire account or only its association with my father's phone?
Backing up a step or two, I'm worried that at this point I should have entered/created a new Apple ID on screen #7 during initial setup of my father's phone (instead of entering my mother's Apple ID), and that just changing settings in iMessage, iCloud, etc. won't really fix any problem(s) I've created. I hesitate to set up the other two phones before knowing how badly I've already messed things up with this one.
During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?
Without knowing what might be the best way to set up these 4 new iPhones, I was thinking the four unique users of these new phones would most likely want to share apps (by purchasing them with one Apple ID), backup/synch to one computer, but maintain separate iCloud accounts so everyone's info is private? I've spent time reading other posts and see so many different recommendations for families with multiple devices that my head is spinning. Many include questions from folks migrating from older phones or MobileMe. I think my situation is simpler in that there are 4 new iphones and one existing Apple ID. Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists? Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases? Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
So sorry to have to ask such basic questions. Many thanks, in advance, for any guidance provided to help me not make any (more?) mistakes during setup that will be a real headache to remedy later, once everyone has started using their phones.

Hi edgefield,sorry you're having so much trouble.
FIRST CREATE A BACKUP ON YOUR COMPUTER -ALWAYS BEFORE PLAYING WITH THE INFORMATION ON THE PHONES (it prevents losses)
Now I'll answer your questions)
During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
Yes. Create his own apple id and sign him in. then tap settings ->store -> tap on the account name -> sign out.
Then sign in your fathers apple id. (create your fathers apple id on the computer, its much easier, trust me).
If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?##
No. Tap settings -> icloud, and turn everything off (keep on the phone option). Then DELETE ACCOUNT (it's got red around it and at the bottom of the screen if you scroll down). You cannot sign out of iCloud, you can only delete the account. Then clean up the contacts and information on the phone.
Then you tap settings -> iCloud and sign in. Put your fathers apple id in the section. His information will be uploaded to www.icloud.com. Then go to www.icloud.com and sign in with his apple id. Make sure his information is uploaded (you'll have to select timezone and such).
From that point you are fine except for iMessage.
For iMessage to function properly, only one apple id can be signed into the iTunes store (settings -> store). If they are both signed into the same apple id on the iTunes store, than you need to turn off iMessage on one of the phones. The iMessage may be delievered to either phone when both are signed in under the same apple id in the iTunes store.
tap settings -> messages -> imessage off
This also disables facetime. If you want them to have iMessage and Facetime, they have to have seperate apple id's signed into the iTunes store.
Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists?
Not that I've seen, will consider creating one if I have time.
Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases?
Your best bet is to create each apple id on the computer (keyboards are easier to use) and then sign them each in during the creation process. Then change the iTunes store info to the stored apple id.
This will allow each person to serpate iClouds without interfering with each others Cloud as you set up new devices.
Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
Doing it this way can cause problems (or used to, not sure if it still does), initially, when you set it up, it wants to create a backup or upload the blank info to iCloud. You are better off setting up their own apple id first and signing in with that, and then changing it in the iTunes store.
I'm off to bed, I'll check this thread tomorrow and see if you have any more questions/problems. Remember, always create a back-up before you do anything.

I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
Any guidance? Thanks.

The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

Guidance on the structuring of Projects in OWB

Dear all i am after some guidance / best practice for the use of projects within OWB and how best to structure to gain the best benifit within the warehouse environment.
We have decided to apply a staging area becuase we pull data from around eight systems, we had also thought about creating projects that link back to business fuctions to aid in segregating data. Having looked at this further we feel that this could cause duplication of effort and a more complicated structure. What i am after is a bit of the lessons learned from others in how to approach this and pit falls to avoid so would be grateful from any advice you may have in this area.
Regards Kevin

I would point out that this strategy may depend a bit on your project.
For example, we are on phase three of a loooooooong project that is slowly building up the enterprise warehouse as legacy (60s-era) Cobol systems are each being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Because of our need to balance ongoing development with support for what is deployed currently, we are creating each of our major releases as a separate project.
This allows us to more easily do things like major rework of our standard libraries of common public transformations, rework of conformed dimmensions, etc without worrying about having to possibly hold up new development to revert to old common code in order to perform ongoing maintenance. It also made it easier to segregate support teams from new development teams without having to put in place too onerous a management oversight system to ensure that no-one steps on anyone elses toes.
Then again, this project is definitely a special case from the security point of view....heck, most of the developers here will never even see live data due to security restrictions.

Don't post the same question multiple times. It's rude, as it leads to people wasting their time duplicating each others' answers.

Forum Mods, Please make this a sticky: BlackBerry PlayBook battery power charge, discharge characteristics, and guidance on extending battery life

BlackBerry PlayBook battery power charge, discharge characteristics, and guidance on extending battery life
KB27705
Overview
The BlackBerry PlayBook may come to a power state where it is unable to power on; a Yellow LED may flash in a sequence of 5 flashes, the BlackBerry PlayBook may boot up to the BlackBerry PlayBook Logo and then power off, may not power on at all.
Discharge behavior under normal use:
Under normal active use, a battery drained to 10% will cause the device to prompt the BlackBerry PlayBook user (notification and audible beep)
Without connecting a charger the device will automatically shut down at 3.53V (0%)
Pressing the power button may allow successful boot, but it will turn off again very quickly
Discharge behavior under no use:
A device left unused but in ‘Stand By’ will warn the BlackBerry PlayBook user at 10% (notification and audible beep)
The warning may not be noticed and the device will go back to ‘Stand By’
Letting the device drain in standby mode drains the battery slower, but more completely
Device will still shut off at 3.53V (0%), but it less likely to successfully boot afterwards
Discharge behavior under 3.53V (0%):
If the device is left to shutoff, the battery will continue to drain below 3.53V due to quiescent current draw from the motherboard and the battery fuel gauge
With the battery between 2.7V-3.53V, pressing the power button causes the LED to flash a pattern (1 solid red light followed by 5 yellow blinks) to indicate low battery (PlayBook Tablet OS version 1.0.5, and above)
Below 2.7V there is no activity, or LED pattern displayed
Charge Behaviour:
The provided charger should be used to charge the device. The optional 12 volt rapid charger is may reduce charging times
to approximately 3 to 4 hrs. Standard Blackberry smartphone chargers, other AC adapter USB chargers, or computer USB ports
are not recommended for the sole purpose of charging the PlayBook as with these methods it may take more that 12 hours to
charge the BlackBerry Playbook.
If the battery voltage is below 3.53V(0%) then the charging behaviour is dependent on the software version. The charging code will limit the charging current to under 400 milliamps, during which time, it may take an hour to reach 3.53 Volts. Once the battery voltage rises past 3.53 volts, then "high-rate" charging will start. If, after charging the Tablet for 4 to 6 hours still does not result in LED activity, attempt to force power on the BlackBerry Playbook by pressing and holding only the Power Button for only 20 seconds.
Prior to BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0.5:
A BlackBerry PlayBook will never charge while powered off in BlackBerry Tablet OS versions prior to 1.0.5.
The device will show a red light when the charger is connected and then nothing more
Repeated connection of the charger can recover the device in some instances.
Once the battery voltage rises above 3.53V the system will boot and the UI will show charging
Starting in BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0.5:
The device will show a solid red LED, followed by a solid yellow LED as the device boots into charging mode. This is followed by a yellow pulsating LED indicating charging in progress.
The time span between the red and yellow lights can be as long as 45 seconds as the device boots into charging mode.
Once the yellow LED illuminates, the device can be started, but it is advisable to let it charge for at least 3.5 hours to achieve a sufficient charge.
The device will show a solid green LED once the device is fully charged.
Starting in BlackBerry Tablet OS 2.0.1:
Once the yellow LED begins pulsating indicating charging mode, if the BlackBerry PlayBook is disconnected from the charger, the following graphic will be displayed on the screen, indicating charging is not complete, and to reconnect the power source. The graphic will be displayed for 20 seconds before the BlackBerry® PlayBook powers off if the power source is not reconnected. The same graphic will also be displayed if the BlackBerry PlayBook is turned on and there is not sufficient power to perform the boot process.
If the BlackBerry PlayBook is plugged into a power source, and the power button is pressed to power on the device, the following graphic will be displayed if there is not sufficient power to perform the boot process. If this occurs, the BlackBerry PlayBook should be left plugged in to gain enough charge to boot.
Additional Information
Turning off the BlackBerry PlayBook and using standby mode.
Checking the battery power levelOn the status bar, tap the battery icon. When the battery power level is low, the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will display a notification.
Enter standby modePress the Power button on the top of the BlackBerry PlayBook..
Exit standby modeSwipe down from the top frame to the bottom frame
Turn off the BlackBerry PlayBookPress and hold the Power button. Tap Shut Down.
To extend the BlackBerry PlayBook battery life, charge it regularly, close unused applications and keep the BlackBerry Playbook out of the sun and other hot places. The following may also be used to extend battery life:
Dim the screenOn the status bar, tap the Options icon (a gear), select the Screen tab and change the Brightness setting
Turn off the screen automaticallyOn the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the Screen tab and change the Backlight Time-out field
Enter standby mode automaticallyOn the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the Screen tab and change the Standby Time-out field
Turn off Wi-Fi when not in useOn the status bar, tap the Wireless icon and set the Wi-Fi switch to Off
Turn off Bluetooth connectivity when not in use
On the status bar, tap the Bluetooth icon and set the Bluetooth switch to Off
Pause apps when you show the home screen or switch between apps On the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the General tab and set the Application Behavior switch to Paused
With the upgrade to PlayBook OS 2.1.0.1032 the following message may be displayed when connecting the Playbook to a PC using the micro-USB cable:
Unable to charge battery with connected source
This message is displayed because the voltage provided is insufficient for charging. The USB voltage is limited to 384mA even if the maximum tolerance is 500mA. The voltage is limited to 384mA by design to avoid violating the USB specification which states USB devices cannot draw more than 500mA from the USB port.

ASA 5505 Best Practice Guidance Requested

I am hoping to tap into the vast wealth of knowledge on this board in order to gain some "best practice" guidance to assist me with the overall setup using the ASA 5505 for a small business client. I'm fairly new to the ASA 5505 so any help would be most appreciated!
My current client configuration is as follows:
a) business internet service (cable) with a fixed IP address
b) a Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band router (currently setup as gateway and used for internet/WiFi access)
c) a Cisco SG-500-28 switch
d) one server running Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard (primary Domain Controller)
     (This server is currently the DNS and DHCP server)
e) one server running Windows Server 2008 R2 (secondary Domain Controller)
f) approximately eight Windows 7 clients (connected via SG-500-28 switch)
g) approximately six printers connected via internal network (connected via SG-500-28 switch)
All the servers, clients, and printers are connected to the SG-500-28 switch.
The ISP provides the cable modem for the internet service.
The physical cable for internet is connected to the cable modem.
From the cable modem, a CAT 6 ethernet cable is connected to the internet (WAN) port of the Netgear N600 router.
A Cat 6 ethernet cable is connected from Port 1 of the local ethernet (LAN) port on the N600 router to the SG-500-28 switch.
cable modem -> WAN router port
LAN router port -> SG-500-28
The ASA 5505 will be setup with an "LAN" (inside) interface and a "WAN" (outside) interface. Port e0/0 on the ASA 5505 will be used for the outside interface and the remaining ports will be used for the inside interface.
So my basic question is, given the information above of our setup, where should the ASA 5505 be "inserted" to maximize its performance? Also, based on the answer to the previous question, can you provide some insight as to how the ethernet cables should be connected to achieve this?
Another concern I have is what device will be used as the default gateway. Currently, the Netgear N600 is set as the default gateway on both Windows servers. In your recommended best practice solution, does the ASA 5505 become the default gateway or does the router remain the default gateway?
And my final area of concern is with DHCP. As I stated earlier, I am running DHCP on Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard. Most of the examples I have studied for the ASA 5505 utilize its DHCP functionality. I also have done some research on the "dhcprelay server" command. So I'm not quite sure which is the best way to go. First off, does the "dhcprelay server" even work with SBS 2011? And secondly, if it does work, is the best practice to use the "dhcprelay" command or to let the ASA 5505 perform the DHCP server role?
All input/guidance/suggestions with these issues would be greatly appreciated! I want to implement the ASA 5505 firewall solution following "best practices" recommendations in order to maximize its functionality and minimize the time to implement.
FYI, the information (from the "show version" command) for the ASA 5505 is shown below:

Hey Jon,
Again, many thanks for the info!
I guess I left that minor detail out concerning the Guest network. I have a second Netgear router that I am using for Guest netowrk access. It is plugged in to one of the LAN network ports on the first Netgear router.
The second Netgear (Guest) router is setup on a different subnet and I am letting the router hand out IP addresses using DHCP.
Basic setup is the 192.168.1.x is the internal network and 192.168.11.x is the Guest network. As far as the SBS 2011 server, it knows nothing about the Guest network in terms of the DHCP addresses it hands out.
Your assumption about the Guest network is correct, I only want to allow guest access to the internet and no access to anything internal. I like your idea of using the restricted DMZ feature of the ASA for the Guest network. (I don't know how to do it, but I like it!) Perhaps you could share more of your knowledge on this?
One final thing, the (internal) Netgear router setup does provide the option for a separate Guest network, however it all hinges on the router being the DHCP server. This is what led me to the second (Guest) Netgear router because I wanted the (internal) Netgear router NOT to use DHCP. Instead I wanted SBS 2011 to be the DHCP server. That's what led to the idea of a second (Guest) router with DHCP enabled.
The other factor in all this is SBS 2011. Not sure what experience you've had with the Small Business Server OS's but they tend to get a little wonky if some of the server roles are disabled. For instance, this is a small busines with a total of about 20 devices including servers, workstations and printers. Early on I thought, "nah, I don't need this IPv6 stuff," so I found an article on how to disable it and did so. The server performance almost immediately took a nose dive. Rebooting the server went from a 5 minute process to a 20 minute process. And this was after I followed the steps of an MSDN article on disabling IPv6 on SBS 2011! Well, long story short, I enabled IPv6 again and the two preceeding issues cleared right up. So, since SBS 2011 by "default" wants DHCP setup I want to try my best to accomodate it. So, again, your opinion/experiece related to this is a tremendous help!
Thanks!

Looking for some guidance on how to splice 2 vidoes together in Adobe Elements 13.

Looking for some guidance on how to splice 2 vidoes together in Adobe Elements 13.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
What do you mean by splice 2 videos together?
a. put them side by side on the Timeline and export them to one file saved to the computer hard drive or burned to disc
or
b. something like the following even before import into any Premiere Elements project
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import
If it is "a", then we need to know the properties of those 2 files so that the project settings can be set accordingly.
What is your intended export? Based on the properties of the source media, we can then decide on export settings
to produce a file with properties as close as possible to the source (if that is what you want).
We will be watching for further information.
Thanks.
ATR
