WAN router LAN interface Best practice for speed

Hello
I have an ASR router with a WAN link of 100M.
The LAN connection for this router is Gig capable.
Should I configure the LAN interface on the router for Gig or would this cause problems with potentially 10 times the data
exiting the LAN out to the WAN with only a 100M pipe?

If you set your LAN interface to run at 100Mbps, likely you would just be moving your possible bottleneck one hop deeper into your LAN (often on devices with weak QoS support).
Leave your LAN interface at gig.  If congestion, on WAN egress, becomes an issue, you can then try QoS to mitigate it.  For example, for starters, you might want to place your WAN egress traffic into fair-queue.

  • Best practice for speeding up animation...

    Hi,
    What would be best practice for speeding up an animation? - Increase the frame rate, or is that considered cheating (already set to 25)?
    The alternative would be to manually adjust the length of the tweens on each layer.
    ~ Let me know what you'd do.
    Thanks!

    Keep the frame rate as low as possible to create acceptable smooth tween and adjust the length (amount of frames) of the tween on the timeline. By keeping frame rate low you are reducing the amount of code execution per unit time (i.e. 24 FPS or 0.04167 seconds per frame)

  • Best practices for speeding up Mail with large numbers of mail?

    I have over 100,000 mails going back about 7 years in multiple accounts in dozens of folders using up nearly 3GB of disk space.
    Things are starting to drag - particularly when it comes to opening folders.
    I suspect the main problem is having large numbers of mails in those folders that are the slowest - like maybe a few thousand at a time or more.
    What are some best practices for dealing with very large amounts of mails?
    Are smart mailboxes faster to deal with? I would think they would be slower because the original emails would tend to not get filed as often, leading to even larger mailboxes. And the search time takes a lot, doesn't it?
    Are there utilities for auto-filing messages in large mailboxes to, say, divide them up by month to make the mailboxes smaller? Would that speed things up?
    Or what about moving older messages out of mail to a database where they are still searchable but not weighing down on Mail itself?
    Suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks!
    doug

    Smart mailboxes obviously cannot be any faster than real mailboxes, and storing large amounts of mail in a single mailbox is calling for trouble. Rather than organizing mail in mailboxes by month, however, what I like to do is organize it by year, with subfolders by topic for each year. You may also want to take a look at the following article:
    http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/08/21/can-mailapp-cope-with-heavy-loads/
    That said, it could be that you need to re-create the index, which you can do as follows:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Best practices for E-Business R12 WAN Deployment

    Hi
    Can anyone point me in the direction of a best practices for deployment of Oracle E-Biz R12 (12.1.3) over a WAN.
    We will be using F5 routing for the web servers (multi tier) and a port expeditor routine.
    What I am hoping to plan for is security and speed.
    Anyone got any experience in this type fo deployment?

  • Best practice for intervlan routing?

    are there some best practices for intervlan routing ?
    I've been reading allot and I have seen these scenarios
    router on a stick
    intervlan at core layer
    intervlan at distribution layer.
    or is intervlan needed at all if the switches will do the routing?
    I've done all of the above but I just want to know what's current.

    The simple answer is it depends because there is no one right solution for everyone. 
    So there are no specific best practices. For example in a small setup where you may only need a couple of vlans you could use a L2 switch connected to a router or firewall using subinterfaces to route between the vlans.
    But that is not a scalable solution. The commonest approach in any network where there are multiple vlans is to use L3 switches to do this. This could be a pair of switches interconnected and using HSRP/GLBP/VRRP for the vlans or it could be stacked switches/VSS etc. You would then dual connect your access layer switches to them.
    In terms of core/distro/access layer in general if you have separate switches performing each function you would have the inter vlan routing done on the distribution switches for all the vlans on the access layer switches. The core switches would be used to route between the disribution switches and other devices eg. WAN routers, firewalls, maybe other distribution switch pairs.
    Again, generally speaking, you may well not need vlans on the core switches at all ie. you can simply use routed links between the core switches and everything else. 
    The above is quite a common setup but there are variations eg. -
    1) a collapsed core design where the core and distribution switches are the same pair. For a single building with maybe a WAN connection plus internet this is quite a common design because having a completely separate core is usually quite hard to justify in terms of cost etc.
    2) a routed access layer. Here the access layer switches are L3 and the vlans are routed at the access layer. In this instance you may not not even need vlans on the distribution switches although again to save cost often servers are deployed onto those switches so you may.
    So a lot of it comes down to the size of the network and the budget involved as to which solution you go with.
    All of the above is really concerned with non DC environments.
    In the DC the traditional core/distro or aggregation/access layer was also used and still is widely deployed but in relatively recent times new designs and technologies are changing the environment which could have a big impact on vlans.
    It's mainly to do with network virtualisation, where the vlans are defined and where they are not only routed but where the network services such as firewalling, load balancing etc. are performed.
    It's quite a big subject so i didn't want to confuse the general answer by going into it but feel free to ask if you want more details.

  • Best Practice for FlexConnect Wireless roaming in MediaNet environment?

    Hello!
    Current Cisco best practice recommendations for enterprise MediaNet design, specify that VLANs be local to a switch / switch stack (i.e., to limit the scope of spanning-tree). 
    In the wireless world, this causes problems if you want users while roaming to keep real-time applications up and running.  Every time they connect to a new AP on a different VLAN, then they will need to get a new IP address, which interrupts real-time apps. 
    So...best practice for LAN users causes real problems for wireless users.
    I thought I'd post here in case there's a best practice for implementing wireless roaming in a routed environment that we might have missed so far!
    We have a failover pair of FlexConnect 7510s, btw, configured for local switching for Internal users, and central switching with an anchor controller on the DMZ for Guest users.
    Thanks,
    Deb

    Thanks for your replies, Stephen and JSnyder.
    The situation here is that the original design engineer is no longer here, and the original design was not MediaNet-friendly, in that it had a very few /20 subnets bridged over entire large sites. 
    These several large sites (with a few hundred wireless users per site), are connected to an HQ location (where the 7510s in failover mode are installed) via 1G ethernet hand-offs (MPLS at the WAN provider).  The 7510s are new, and are replacing older contollers at the HQ location. 
    The internal employee wireless users use resources both local to their site, as well as centralized resources.  There are at least as many Guest wireless users per site as there are internal employee users, and the service to them consists of Internet traffic only.  (When moved to the 7510s, their traffic will continue to be centrally switched and carried to an anchor controller in the DMZ.) 
    (1) So, going local mode seems impractical due to the sheer number of users whose traffic bound for their local site would be traversing the WAN twice.  Too much bandwidth would be used.  So, that implies the need to use Flex / HREAP mode instead.
    (2) However, re-designing each site's IP environment for MediaNet would suggest to go routed to the closet.  However, this breaks seamless roaming for users....
    So, this conundrum is why I thought I'd post here, and see if there was some other cool / nifty solution I wasn't yet aware of. 
    The only other (possibly friendly to both needs) solution I'd thought of was to GRE tunnel a subnet from each closet to the collapsed Core / Disti switch at each site.  Unfortunately, GRE tunnels are not supported in the rev of IOS on the present equipment, and so it isn't possible to try this idea.
    Another "blue sky" idea I had (not for this customer, but possibly elsewhere in the future), is to use LAN switches such as 3850s that have WLC functionality built-in.  I haven't yet worked with the WLC s/w available on those, but I was thinking it looks like they could be put into a mobility group, and L3 user roaming between them might then work.  Do you happen to know if this might be a workable solution to the overall big-picture problem? 
    Thanks again for taking the time and trouble to reply!

  • Best practice for ASA Active/Standby failover

    Hi,
    I have configured a pair of Cisco ASA in Active/ Standby mode (see attached). What can be done to allow traffic to go from R1 to R2 via ASA2 when ASA1 inside or outside interface is down?

  • Best practice for integrating a 3 point metro-e in to our network.

    Hello,
    We have just started to integrate a new 3 point metro-e wan connection to our main school office. We are moving from point to point T-1?s to 10 MB metro-e. At the main office we have a 50 MB going out to 3 other sites at 10 MB each. For two of the remote sites we have purchase new routers ? which should be straight up configurations. We are having an issue connecting the main office with the 3rd site.
    At the main office we have a Catalyst 4006 and at the 3rd site we are trying to connect to a catalyst 4503.
    I have attached configurations from both the main office and 3rd remote site as well as a basic diagram of how everything physically connects. These configurations are not working ? we feel that it is a gateway type problem ? but have reached no great solutions. We have tried posting to a different forum ? but so far unable to find the a solution that helps.
    The problem I am having is on the remote side. I can reach the remote catalyst from the main site, but I cannot reach the devices on the other side of the remote catalyst however the remote catalyst can see devices on it's side as well as devices at the main site.
    We have also tried trunking the ports on both sides and using encapsulation dot10q ? but when we do this the 3rd site is able to pick up a DHCP address from the main office ? and we do not feel that is correct. But it works ? is this not causing a large broad cast domain?
    If you have any questions or need further configuration data please let me know.
    The previous connection was a T1 connection through a 2620 but this is not compatible with metro-e so we are trying to connect directly through the catalysts.
    The other two connection points will be connecting through cisco routers that are compatible with metro-e so i don't think I'll have problems with those sites.
    Any and all help is greatly welcome ? as this is our 1st metro e project and want to make sure we are following best practices for this type of integration.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Jeff

    Jeff, form your config it seems you main site and remote site are not adjacent in eigrp.
    Try adding a network statement for the 171.0 link and form a neighbourship between main and remote site for the L3 routing to work.
    Upon this you should be able to reach the remote site hosts.
    HTH-Cheers,
    Swaroop

  • Best practices for setting up projects

    We recently adopted using Captivate for our WBT modules.
    As a former Flash and Director user, I can say it’s
    fast and does some great things. Doesn’t play so nice with
    others on different occasions, but I’m learning. This forum
    has been a great source for search and read on specific topics.
    I’m trying to understand best practices for using this
    product. We’ve had some problems with file size and
    incorporating audio and video into our projects. Fortunately, the
    forum has helped a lot with that. What I haven’t found a lot
    of information on is good or better ways to set up individual
    files, use multiple files and publish projects. We’ve decided
    to go the route of putting standalones on our Intranet. My gut says
    yuck, but for our situation I have yet to find a better way.
    My question for discussion, then is: what are some best
    practices for setting up individual files, using multiple files and
    publishing projects? Any references or input on this would be
    appreciated.

    Hi,
    Here are some of my suggestions:
    1) Set up a style guide for all your standard slides. Eg.
    Title slide, Index slide, chapter slide, end slide, screen capture,
    non-screen capture, quizzes etc. This makes life a lot easier.
    2) Create your own buttons and captions. The standard ones
    are pretty ordinary, and it's hard to get a slick looking style
    happening with the standard captions. They are pretty easy to
    create (search for add print button to learn how to create
    buttons). There should instructions on how to customise captions
    somewhere on this forum. Customising means that you can also use
    words, symbols, colours unique to your organisation.
    3) Google elearning providers. Most use captivate and will
    allow you to open samples or temporarily view selected modules.
    This will give you great insight on what not to do and some good
    ideas on what works well.
    4) Timings: Using the above research, I got others to
    complete the sample modules to get a feel for timings. The results
    were clear, 10 mins good, 15 mins okay, 20 mins kind of okay, 30
    mins bad, bad, bad. It's truly better to have a learner complete
    2-3 short modules in 30 mins than one big monster. The other
    benefit is that shorter files equal smaller size.
    5) Narration: It's best to narrate each slide individually
    (particularly for screen capture slides). You are more likely to
    get it right on the first take, it's easier to edit and you don't
    have to re-record the whole thing if you need to update it in
    future. To get a slicker effect, use at least two voices: one male,
    one female and use slightly different accents.
    6) Screen capture slides: If you are recording filling out
    long window based databse pages where the compulsory fields are
    marked (eg. with a red asterisk) - you don't need to show how to
    fill out every field. It's much easier for the learner (and you) to
    show how to fill out the first few fields, then fade the screen
    capture out, fade the end of the form in with the instructions on
    what to do next. This will reduce your file size. In one of my
    forms, this meant the removal of about 18 slides!
    7) Auto captions: they are verbose (eg. 'Click on Print
    Button' instead of 'Click Print'; 'Select the Print Preview item'
    instead of 'Select Print Preview'). You have to edit them.
    8) PC training syntax: Buttons and hyperlinks should normally
    be 'click'; selections from drop down boxes or file lists are
    normally 'select': Captivate sometimes mixes them up. Instructions
    should always be written in the correct order: eg. Good: Click
    'File', Select 'Print Preview'; Bad: Select 'Print Preview' from
    the 'File Menu'. Button names, hyperlinks, selections are normally
    written in bold
    9) Instruction syntax: should always be written in an active
    voice: eg. 'Click Options to open the printer menu' instead of
    'When the Options button is clicked on, the printer menu will open'
    10) Break all modules into chapters. Frame each chapter with
    a chapter slide. It's also a good idea to show the Index page
    before each chapter slide with a progress indicator (I use an
    animated arrow to flash next to the name of the next chapter), I
    use a start button rather a 'next' button for the start of each
    chapter. You should always have a module overview with the purpose
    of the course and a summary slide which states what was covered and
    they have complete the module.
    11) Put a transparent click button somewhere on each slide.
    Set the properties of the click box to take the learner back to the
    start of the current chapter by pressing F2. This allows them to
    jump back to the start of their chapter at any time. You can also
    do a similar thing on the index pages which jumps them to another
    chapter.
    12) Recording video capture: best to do it at normal speed
    and be concious of where your mouse is. Minimise your clicks. Most
    people (until they start working with captivate) are sloppy with
    their mouse and you end up with lots of unnecessarily slides that
    you have to delete out. The speed will default to how you recorded
    it and this will reduce the amount of time you spend on changing
    timings.
    13) Captions: My rule of thumb is minimum of 4 seconds - and
    longer depending on the amount of words. Eg. Click 'Print Preview'
    is 4 seconds, a paragraph is longer. If you creating knowledge
    based modules, make the timing long (eg. 2-3 minutes) and put in a
    next button so that the learner can click when they are ready.
    Also, narration means the slides will normally be slightly longer.
    14) Be creative: Capitvate is desk bound. There are some
    learners that just don't respond no matter how interactive
    Captivate can be. Incorporate non-captivate and desk free
    activities. Eg. As part of our OHS module, there is an activity
    where the learner has to print off the floor plan, and then wander
    around the floor marking on th emap key items such as: fire exits;
    first aid kit, broom and mop cupboard, stationary cupboard, etc.
    Good luck!

  • Best Practice for SRST deployment at a remote site

    What is the best practice for a SRST deployment at a remote site? Should a separate router such as a 3800 series be deployed for telephony in addition to another router to be deployed for Data? Is there a need for 2 different devices?

    Hi Brian,
    This is typically done all on one ISR Router at the remote site :)There are two flavors of SRST. Here is the feature comparison;
    SRST Fallback
    This feature enables routers to provide call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones if they lose connection to remote primary, secondary, or tertiary Cisco Unified Communications Manager installations or if the WAN connection is down. When Cisco Unified SRST functionality is provided by Cisco Unified CME, provisioning of phones is automatic and most Cisco Unified CME features are available to the phones during periods of fallback, including hunt-groups, call park and access to Cisco Unity voice messaging services using SCCP protocol. The benefit is that Cisco Unified Communications Manager users will gain access to more features during fallback ****without any additional licensing costs.
    Comparison of Cisco Unified SRST and
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    • First supported with Cisco Unified CME 4.0: Cisco IOS Software 12.4(9)T
    • IP phones re-home to Cisco Unified CME if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. CME in SRST allows IP phones to access some advanced Cisco Unified CME telephony features not supported in traditional SRST
    • Support for up to 240 phones
    • No support for Cisco VG248 48-Port Analog Phone Gateway registration during fallback
    • Lack of support for alias command
    • Support for Cisco Unity® unified messaging at remote sites (Distributed Exchange or Domino)
    • Support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Basic Automatic Call Distributor (BACD), Call Park, softkey templates, and paging
    • Support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0 on same computer
    • No support for secure voice in SRST mode
    • More complex configuration required
    • Support for digital signal processor (DSP)-based hardware conferencing
    • E-911 support with per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for IP phones (Cisco Unified CME 4.1 only)
    Cisco Unified SRST
    • Supported since Cisco Unified SRST 2.0 with Cisco IOS Software 12.2(8)T5
    • IP phones re-home to SRST router if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. SRST allows IP phones to have basic telephony features
    • Support for up to 720 phones
    • Support for Cisco VG248 registration during fallback
    • Support for alias command
    • Lack of support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Call Park, and BACD
    • No support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0
    • Support for secure voice during SRST fallback
    • Simple, one-time configuration for SRST fallback service
    • No per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for SCCP Phones (E911 is a new feature supported in SRST 4.1)
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html
    These SRST hardware based restrictions are very similar to the number of supported phones with CME. Here is the actual breakdown;
    Cisco 880 SRST Series Integrated Services Router
    Up to 4 phones
    Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 8 phones
    Cisco 2801 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 25 phones
    Cisco 2811 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 35 phones
    Cisco 2821 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 50 phones
    Cisco 2851 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 100 phones
    Cisco 3825 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 350 phones
    Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series Communications Media Module (CMM)
    Up to 480 phones
    Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 730 phones
    *The number of phones supported by SRST have been changed to multiples of 5 starting with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(15)T3.

  • Best Practice for ip helper-address

    I have 2 dhcp servers on same subnet 192.168.1.0
    I'm trying to setup my SVI
    Gateway 192.168.6.1
    How should the ip helper-address be setup?
    ip helper-address 192.168.1.0
    or
    ip helper-address 192.168.1.1 <- dhcp 1
    ip helper-address 192.168.1.2 <- dhcp 2
    2 Dhcp servers setup each to handle half the scope of a given subnet.

    Sparky
    Generally I believe that the best practice for this is to use two helper address statements. This will send two unicaast packets, one to each server. The other alternative is to send a directed broadcast (which would actually be ip helper-address 192.168.1.255). To do this you would also have to be sure that ip directed-broadcast was enabled on the router interface connecting to the 192.168.1.0 subnet. Many people reguard ip directed-broadcast as a security vulnerability and do not want it enabled. If your environment is comfortable with enabling this function then both alternatives would work. The advantage of the directed broadcast is that it transmits one packet rather than transmitting two packets. If it were me I would use two helper address statements.

  • Best Practices For Household IOS's/Apple IDs

    Greetings:
    I've been searching support for best practices for sharing primarily apps, music and video among multple iOS's/Apple IDs.  If there is a specific article please point me to it.
    Here is my situation: 
    We currently have 3 iPads (2-kids, 1-dad) in the household and one iTunes account on a win computer.  I previously had all iPads on single Apple ID/credit card and controlled the kids' downloads thru the Apple ID password that I kept secret.  As the kids have grown older, I found myself constantly entering my password as the kids increased there interest in music/apps/video.  I like this approach because all content was shared...I dislike because I was constantly asked to input password for all downloads.
    So, I recently set up an individual account for them with the allowance feature at iTunes that allows them to download content on their own (I set restrictions on their iPads).  Now I have 3 Apple IDs under one household.
    My questions:
    With the 3 Apple IDs, what is the best way to share apps,music, videos among myself and the kids?  Is it multiple accounts on the computer and some sort of sharing? 
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Bonesaw1962,
    We've had our staff and students run iOS updates OTA via Settings -> Software Update. In the past, we put a DNS block on Apple's update servers to prevent users from updating iOS (like last fall when iOS 7 was first released). By blocking mesu.apple com, the iPads weren't able to check for or install any iOS software updates. We waited until iOS 7.0.3 was released before we removed the block to mesu.apple.com at which point we told users if they wanted to update to iOS 7 they could do so OTA. We used our MDM to run reports periodically to see how many people updated to iOS 7 and how many stayed on iOS 6. As time went on, just about everyone updated on their own.
    If you go this route (depending on the number of devices you have), you may want to take a look at Caching Server 2 to help with the network load https://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server . From Apple's website, "When a user on your network downloads new software from Apple, a copy is automatically stored on your server. So the next time other users on your network update or download that same software, they actually access it from inside the network."
    I wish there was a way for MDMs to manage iOS updates, but unfortunately Apple hasn't made this feature available to MDM providers. I've given this feedback to our Apple SE, but haven't heard if it is being considered or not. Keeping fingers crossed.
    Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide on and keep us posted on the progress. Good luck!!

  • Networking "best practice" for setting up a farm

    Hi all.
    We would like to set an OracleVM farm, and I have a question about "best practice" for
    configuring the network. Some background:
    - The hardware I have is comprised of machines with 4 gig-eth NICs each.
    - The storage will be coming primarily from a backend NAS appliance (Netapp, FWIW).
    - We have already allocated a separate VLAN for management.
    - We would like to have HA capable VMs using OCFS2 (on top of NFS.)
    I'm trying to decide between 2 possible configurations. The first would keep physical separation
    between the mgt/storage networks and the DomU networks. The second would just trunk
    everything together across all 4 NICs, something like:
    Config 1:
    - eth0 - management/cluster-interconnect
    - eth1 - storage
    - eth2/eth3 => bond0 - 8021q trunked, bonded interfaces for DomUs
    Config 2:
    - eth0/1/2/3 => bond0
    Do people have experience or recommendation about the best configuration?
    I'm attracted to the first option (perhaps naively) because CI/storage would benefit
    from dedicated bandwidth and this configuration might also be more secure.
    Regards,
    Robert.

    Option #4 (802.3ad) looks promising, but I don't know if this can be made to work across
    separate switches.It can, if your switches support cross-switch trunking. Essentially, 802.3ad (also known as LACP or EtherChannel on Cisco devices) requires your switch to be properly configured to allow trunking across the interfaces used for the bond. I know that the high-end Cisco and Juniper switches do support LACP across multiple switches. In the Cisco world, this is called MEC (Multichassis EtherChannel).
    If you're using low-end commodity-grade gear, you'll probably need to use active/passive bonds if you want to span switches. Alternatively, you could use one of the balance algorithms for some bandwitch increase. You'd have to run your own testing to determine which algorithm is best suited for your workload.
    The Linux Foundation's Net:Bonding article has some great information on bonding in general, particularly on the various bonding methods for high availability:

  • Best practice for Wireless ap vlan

    Is there a best practice for grouping lightweight access points in one vlan or allowing them to be spread across several ??

    Whether you have multiple sites or not, it's good practice to put your APs in a separate and dedicated VLAN. 
    If your sites are routed sites, then you can re-use the same VLAN numbers but make sure they are on separate subnets and/or VRF instance.

  • Best practice for mouseless ADF applications

    I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse.

    I am already using the accessKey functionality and subforms defaultCommand
    But I have had problems setting focus to objects on a page like tables. I would like a button to return the focus to the table after it has made the command like delete.
    I have implemented a solution where I have found inspiration several threads and other webpages (see below).
    Is this solution okay?

    Hi,
    I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse. So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
    Well HTML (and this is the user interface you see) follows a tab index navigation that you follow with "tab" and "shift+tab". Anything else is a short cut for which you use mnemonics (as you already do) or shortcuts (explained in http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html). There is a distinction to make between non-web environments (which I think you and your users have abackground in) and client desktop environments. Browsers block some keyboard functionality for their own purpose. So you may have to find a list of keys first that work across browsers. Unlike desktop clients, which allow you to "press a button" without the button to take focus, this cannot be done on the web. So you need to be clever here, avoiding buttons at all.
    The following paper is about JavaScript in ADF and explains the basics for what Chris Muir explains in : http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
    It has the outline for how to register short cut keys that perform a specific action (e.g. register ctrl+d to delete the current row you are on, or press F11 to execute a query (similar to Oracle Forms frmres files)). However, be aware that this includes some code you have to write (actually quite some code to be honest).
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/79-global-template-button-strategy-360139.pdf (are there an example implementation?), or
    http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
    Actually these are implementations as they come with example code for you to use and customize, do they? So what is this question asking for more ? Also note that global buttons don't quite have anything in common with the question you asked. I assume you want to see it as an implementation of the Forms toolbar that operates on the form or table the focus is in. This however does not work for the web as there is nothing that keeps track of which component has a focus and to what iterator (data block) it belongs. This would involve even more coding (though possibly doable)
