10g ports with redundancy

Hi all. I hope this is the right section to post this kind of question.
Basically I need to know which switch should I buy to achieve the customer's needs.
Each floor will have 1 x 2960 with 2 10GB uplink to the core switch. The problem is I don't know which switch should I buy acting as a CORE. The customer needs at least 16 x 10G ports for each switch and the core must be redundant in some way. So the 3750 is not an option and I thought about the 4500-x with VSS but actually I'm not sure this is the best idea. Servers will be attached directly to the core switch (I know, this is not the best idea but this is what the customer want to do).
Thanks for you replies / help
Regards

Yes, VSS with the 4500-X is one possibility, as would be the new 6880.
Or, instead of VSS, you could use a 4500, 6500 or 6807 with dual sups and dual line cards.
With VSS, your single point of failure is the IOS. With the (redundant card) chassis, your single point of failure is the chassis, itself. There's not much of a difference in MTBF.
Any of the above (or Nexus) would likely work well for you. Selection depends on your budget and feature requirements.

Which switch model for more than 4 10G-Ports?

we have a little network (100 clients, 1 VMware-Cluster with 2 Hosts, 1 Storage) and we want to replace old switches.
we want to connect 4 cisco catalyst 2960X to core switch with 10G, and 4 2960X with 1G.
Core switch is main routing instance for all.
So we need following features for the core switch:
- 8 10G-Ports
- Redundancy
- Static Routing
Which is the cheapest model for core?
Thanks!
Martin

I'm not sure if you get it "cheap" ...
You could use:
A stack of 2*WS-C3650-48TQ (each has 4*10GE)
A stack of 2*SG500X-24 (each has 4*10GE)
one or two SG500XG-8F8T (each has 8*10GE copper and 8*10GE SFP+)
2) and 3) are from the SmallBusiness line of switches. So option 2) will probably the cheapest.
Edit: Just looked at the stacking of the 500X. Seems that the 10GE-ports are used for stacking, so you would need four of them to get eicht usable 10GE-Ports. It still could be cheaper then the 3650, but probably not better ...

Problem with redundancy in CSS 11051

I have a problem with redundancy in CSS 11051. I use firewall load balancing and server load balancing. Load balancers which only load balance over 3 firewall switch from primary to master with no problems.
problem is with load balancers which load balance over firewalls and over servers two. whene the master is shutdown, backup keeps master function, all services on backup LB are alive, but it is not possible to display web page on address 10.10.7.16. Even if I try from the network 10.10.7.0/24, so before firewalls. below my config. any help appreciate.

Compliance of Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2

Hello everybody
I am representing my company for making a decision of deploying appropriate versions for Oracle and Windows.
The vendor suggested Oracle 9 on Windows Server 2003, whereas we opted for deploying Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2.
According to the vendor
XP is not a true 'server' product and therefore does not provide many server functions and may have restrictions on numbers of users that can connect.
If the vendor's notion is correct, would anyone explain the limitations/restrictions of our solution.

One of the first problems that you will encounter, inbound connections limit in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882
Memory allocations are handled differently between Windows 2003 and XP (paged pool, non-paged pool, file system caching, etc.):
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx
In some cases the memory allocation differences can cause XP to display errors indicating "unable to allocate memory from the paged pool" or the non-paged pool, when Windows 2003 would otherwise continue functioning without problem. Windows 2003 offers a registry change to work around this problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312362
Microsoft will stop making Windows XP available for resale in June 2008, except on extremely light-weight computers, and update support will end before update support ends for Windows 2003.
There are typically differences in the hardware that ships with a computer loaded with Windows XP and one that ships with Windows 2003. You will have a hard time finding a computer with Windows XP that ships with redundant power supplies, dual backplanes, SCSI RAID 10 support, dual network interfaces, built-in system/diagnostics, etc.
While Windows 2003 is the server equivalent of Windows XP, there are many features in Windows 2003 that are not available in Windows XP. XP is designed to be rebooted frequently (shut down every night, or reboot once a week or once a month) and is geared toward foreground application performance. Windows Server 2003 is designed to be rebooted infrequently (apply security updates, recover from rare system fatal bugs) and is geared toward providing good background application performance (the Oracle database instance would be a background application).
If you are unfamilar with Windows Server 2003, take a look at the books "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administrator's Companion" by Microsoft Press and "Mastering Windows Server 2003" by Sybex. Compare what you find in those books with what you might find in Microsoft's Windows XP Resource Kit book.

ASR1001-X 10G port license

Hi all,
I want to order ASR1001-X with license for 10Gbps routing traffic ( FLSA1-1X-5-10G ). I need one 10GE port.
Do I need to order license FLSA1-BIN-1X10GE to enable 10G port?
Is there any chance that maybe one 10GE license is included If I upgrade to 10Gbps?
I know that licenses for 10GE ports are included if I upgrade to 20G:
"ASR1001-X bulit-in 10GE ports are turned on using port-based licenses. However, if the ASR1001-X is upgraded to 20G, then the two built-in ports are automatically included. Please see Table 37 for the Product Numbers of the port and throughput licenses."
Regards,
Aleksandar

Hi Alex, as you mentioned you would need to order the license to enable the 10G port. as for the inclusion with the 10Gpbs im not sure if this is possible. hope to hear from you soon!

Nexus 7010 10G Ports

As many 10G ports may have a nexus 7010? I read documentation who speaks in some 256 ports, but each module has a throughput of only 80G. This means that I can really only have 64 10G ports because 10G are shared by groups of 4?
Thanks

5596's L3 throughput is limited to 160G one way per chassis. However the N7K depends on the type of line card, number of fabric and the fabric speed, which you can said it will increase when Cisco release a newer fabric and line card. With the current M1 line card, the N7K can perfrom 80G one way per line card for L3.
The F132 line card doesn't support L3, but it supports fabric path. The F1 will rely on the M1 to forward L3 traffic.

How to use thunderbolt port with disks and DVI-display

Hello,
today I use a 15" MacBookPro and have attached 1TB LaCie with FW800 (for time machine) and DVI-Display using Mini-port.
Need to add more external disk space and look for Lacie 2 TB with thunderbolt connection (for storing mass of pictures in Raid1 version)
Is it possible to connect the new disk, the other disk with an Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter and the DVI-Display to one thunderbolt port?
What are the options I have, to get all three to work at the same time?

No, or at least not without additional hardware. You have too many end-points for one Thunderbolt chain.
You also have the problem that the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter is not yet for sale.
If the new disk you get has two Thunderbolt ports (which not all do), you could daisy-chain the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter behind it, but that adapter has to be at the end of the chain. The Mini-port->DVI adapter likewise needs to be at the end of a chain.
So, you can probably get all three connected at one time by connecting the "1TB LaCie with FW800 (for time machine)" to your FW800 port, while connecting the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter (when available) to the second port of the new disk. I say "probably" because nobody has the TB-FW adapter yet to try it.
As for doing it on one Thunderbolt port with additional hardware, you might look into third-party docking stations being released in the next few months. The announced prices are in the low-to-middle hundreds. I won't mention brand names, as this is an Apple forum, but they aren't too hard to find by web search.
The highest-priced solution would be the Apple Thunderbolt Display, which gives you a FW800 port for your 1TB drive, a pass-thru Thunderbolt port for your new disk, and of course a 2560x1440 display (plus ethernet and usb2 ports you may not need). It's available now, in the uppermost hundreds. There are some refurbs in the online Apple Store at the moment at 15% off.

Possible to use old macbook (mini dvi port) with 24 in LED display?

Is there a combo of adaptors that will allow me to use my older macbook (mini-DVI port) with the new apple LED screens- i.e. adaptors allowing mini-DVI to mini displayport connector that comes with monitor?

You need this component and a mini DVI to DVI adapter.

- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?

Cant use DVI-D port with DVI-D cable from Pav 500-100a to HP W2207 monitor

I have a new Pav 500-100a factory standard with no mods. A HP w2207 monitor.
Currently connect fine with VGA to the DVI-D port with the adapter that came with the pc. I've setup Windows, updated to 8.1, put in my files from my old PC and all was well except video isnt that good.
I got a DVD cable form work but its a DVI-I cable. It took 5 mins before windows comes up and then whenever the background picture changed in the theme it hung for a few seconds. I read that I need a DVD-D cable which i purchasd today.
The packet says its a CL-DVI2M - DVI M/M 24+1 CABLE 2M. The tech in the shop says its a good calbe and will work fine.
When connected and I power up I get teh hp logo and rolling dots then it goes blank.
I reconnect teh VGA cable and its all fine - using the VGA to DVI adapter.
I ran msconfig and turned of safe boot - restarts and comes up fine in safe mode. I set the resolution to 1280x800 and restarted and reconnected the DVI cable - blank again.
If I put the VGA cable back in it boots fine. The monitor has been factory reset and seens the DVI connection but Windows remains blank. Also tried booting first with no cable - connect teh DVI and the monitor remains in sleep - power reset teh monitor and still blank also shows no DVO conenction.
I fI power up with DVI connected I can get to BIOS, and i see the HP logo and dots as Win 8 starts.
I dont know what else I can try. I have no other usable video card with DVI
Any ideas out there?
Pls help - Steve
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Steve,
Only connect one active video cable to the monitor and do not use any adapters.
Use a flashlight and examine the DVI connector on the monitor. Which DVI type is it?
Some of the older HP monitors have DVI issues so you might want to check with HP Support and see if you have one of those models.
An older post a long time back indicated that audio also had to be feed to the monitor (claimed by a poster). If this is indeed true then it's a monitor design flaw. So, you could use a native HDMI cable and test out that claim.

How can i output a voltage on PCI-6229 port with visual basic 6 ?

Hello,
PCI-6229 card is using DAQmx, that not support VB 6 officially.
However, members of this forum found out a way to write/read on digital port with vb6 and DAQmx.
This was working well for me indeed.
Then, i wanted to output a voltage on AO. I followed the same procedure they used for DI/DO but in vain.
Apparently, the function DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan()* causes trouble.
Using the .exe of the program, i get this error :
"error -200077 : Requested value is not a supported value for this property."
Thank you for any ideas that can sort this out.

CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

sir
By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
thank you for your patience for reading the question

I need lots of USB ports with New Mac Pro, now what?

because I'm in the audio business I needs lot of USB ports with my Mac Pro. On my current 2008 machine, that's not really an issue, with 5 ports on teh MP itself and I installed some USB hubs over PCIe that give me a total of 13 port. I'm not really sure what is the best way to get that amount on the new MP.
Oh, and I really like the stability of my current set up. Before I went with an external USB Hub that always gave me headaches with ports not being recognized.

The only two things I found so far are:
a/ going back to the external USB hubs, which I find very frustrating to work with, because instable with connection and I would need to add some interface to go from USB to TB (which are also rather expensive at the moment)
b/ use some external PCIe enclosures that are really expensive.
So I havent really found the right solution for my situation. Which makes me hesitant to migrate to new MP at the moment.
