2 Cisco Stacks, need to add switches

Hello,
I have 6 x 3750 switch split into 2 stacks ( A & B). This is for our VMware hosts and SANs and it works well. We have now run out of space and I have been given 2 x ws-3750G-12s-s chassis switches to add, 1 to each stack. So I have a few question on added these to the stacks, here is a diag to help:
These switches are slightly different to what we are using (in red) and we have to buy the SFP modules as the ports are empty, however will these switch be compatible?
I will need to use the same old IOS 12.2(53)?
I have highlighted in red where I think the stack cables need to go/moved does it look about right?
Will pullin gthese stack cables cause downtime?
I have to provision the stack to see the 4th switches is there any reboot required?
Thanks

Challenge: Spanning Tree Control Between 2 links from Switch DELL M6220 to 2 links towards 2 switches CISCO 3750 connected with an stack (behavior like one switch for redundancy)

Hello,
I have an Spanning tree problem when i conect 2 links from Switch DELL M6220 (there are blades to virtual machines too) to 2 links towards 2 switches CISCO 3750 connected with an stack (behavior like one switch for redundancy, with one IP of management)
In dell virtual machine is Spanning tree rapid stp, and in 3750 is Spanning tree mode pvst, cisco says that this is not important, only is longer time to create the tree.
I dont know but do you like this solutions i want to try on sunday?:
Could Spanning tree needs to work to send one native vlan to negociate the bdpus? switchport trunk native vlan 250
Is it better to put spanning-tree guard root in both 3750 in the ports to mitigate DELL to be root in Spanning Tree?
Is it better to put spanning- tree port-priority in the ports of Swicht Dell?
¿could you help me to control the root? ¿Do you think its better another solution? thanks!

Game server, home network, SD2005 switch, need to add wireless...

OK, I have my cable modem going directly to game server (PC running windows xp as game host), PC has 2 NIC's. Second NIC goes to SD2005 switch to 2 home gaming PC's, printer, playstation 3. Goal was to have gaming server direct access to internet.... Allow our PC's to access games without going outside intranet. How do I hook up WRT310N to the sd2005 and then run the Printer, Playstation3 off the WRT310N??? Or am I making this way to complicated???lol
I also have a ethernet hookup for a workbench too that I swap out connections on the SD2005 for repairing PC's...
So, In a nutshell
PC gaming host
2 gaming PC's
Ethernet printer
Ethernet Playstation3
Ethernet connection to workbench
Need to add the WRT310N v2 to get wireless
Need gigabit access to internet for all but printer & Playstation
Have SD2005 gigabit switch
1 gaming PC needs access to website host for FTP without all the security problems (which has been a pain with Vista)
SO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO.... I know just enough to make a mess...lol

As you want the game server directly connected to your internet connection it must operate as your internet gateway for all other devices. For that, you have to enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the game server. Use the Windows wizard to set it up. Share the internet netconnection from the 1st NIC to the LAN on the 2nd NIC. Of course, with this kind of setup your game server must be up and running whenever you want to use your LAN.
Your game server will use static IP 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on the 2nd NIC and provides DHCP.
Now connect the SD2005 to the 2nd NIC. Wire another computer to the SD2005 and it should get an IP address 192.168.0.* and should have internet through the game server.
Set up the WRT as simple wireless access point. Wire a computer to a LAN port of the WRT. Open the web interface http://192.168.1.1/ Now change the LAN IP address of the WRT from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.254 and turn off the DHCP server. Save settings. You'll loose the connection. Unplug the computer. Now wire one of the LAN ports of the WRT to the SD2005. Do not use the internet port of the WRT!
That's it. Don't forget to configure the wireless on the WRT through the web interface now at http://192.168.0.254/
Your LAN computers can access the game server directly on the LAN IP address 192.168.0.1 or through its public IP address.

2960x - stack cables connected while switches power on. SFP ports - status unknown

Connected 2960x uplink using SFP ports both stacks and all 4 ports worked good.
Remote tech connected last stack cable between first and last switch, in 2 different 2960x stacks of switches, while switches were powered on. A longer stack cable was needed. 3 of 4 SFP ports did stopped communicating.
One stack SFP stayed up in switch 2, not master. Completed reload - other SPF connected in switch 4/0/52
Second stack no connection on either SFP, remote tech power cycled switches.
After power cycle one SFP worked in Master 1/0/52, other switches SFP ports show "unknown" when inserting SFP.
Configured port 48 on stack with issue and connected second uplink just fine.
Has anyone experienced this with the SFP's?

From Cisco.
Developers have recommended to upgrade the IOS version of switches with a Hardware Board revision Number below 0x10 to the release 15.0(2.0).EX5ES. this is the one attached to this email and should be applied to switch 1 and 2.
For switches with a Hardware Board revision Number above 0x10 to the release 152-2.4.E1ES, which I will send you right away. This should be done on switch 3 and 4.
Now, If you load the engineering special, you will need to do a full power-cycle (physically unplug the power and plug it back in for every single switch). A simple ‘reload’ will not resolve this.
The same must be done on Switch-0. For this stack you will only need to load the image attached to this email since all the Hardware Board revision Numbers are lower than 0x10.
done.

Cisco SGE2010P 48-port Gigabit Switch - Setup & Configure via Web UI?

Hello,
I'm looking to purchase a Cisco SGE2010P 48-port Gigabit Switch (POE) for a 100% Macintosh environment. Because of this, none of the machines will be able to access the switch (including initial, out of the box setup) via the console port. So, I'm wondering if anyone can confirm if this switch is configurable, out of the box, via the Web UI (which would allow a Macintosh system to set it up no problem via a web browser)? I have asked all my suppliers and talked to a Cisco Product Specialist via web chat and also tried via phone, and no one can confirm if this is possible for sure.
The reason I ask is that I was also looking at a Nortel switch and even thought it had a Web UI for management, out of the box it had to be initially set up (ie. configuring the devices IP) via the console port first, and once that was done, only then could you access the Web UI.
I'm hoping this isn't the case with the Cisco switch and that it in fact is out of the box with a default IP so it can be accessed via the Web UI (without the need to go in via the console port).
Could anyone answer this question for me!?
If it helps, this is the website for the switch I'm considering...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9985/index.html
Regards,
Kristin.

SGE2000 and SGE2000P must have a DHCP server to get an IP-address. You “just” have to figure out the address they have been given.SGE2010 and SGE2010P has a default IP (192.168.1.254 – 255.255.255.0)All 4 devises has a web interface. I don’t see why it shut not work with a Mac browser. The primarily reason for buying SGE switches is their ability to stack. But 24 ports (SGE2000/P) and 48 ports (SGE2010/P) switches are not able to stack with each other. They have had several years to fix the problem so it is not likely it will ever bee fixit. If you stick to eater 24 ports ore 48 ports it will work.

Can cisco CAP2702i connect to Cisco3850 switch with wireless LAN controller license via another switch ?

If i connect cisco AP - CAP2702i to another switch, and use trunk port between Cisco3850 and the other switch , can the AP able to register with Cisco3850 with wireless LAN controller ? or the AP has to directly connect to Cisco3850 in order to register?

The AP and 3850 wireless management are in same Vlan( vlan202). The AP is new unit and did not join MC before.
What i did on 3850 :
input command - wireless management interface vlan 202
- ap cdp
- wireless mobility controller
Is there any config i miss out on 3850 and any config need to be set on AP ?
From Ap console output show me "could not discover WLC using dhcp ip". Is it due to AP dont have IP address? If AP register with WLC through layer 2 , i believe there is no related with IP.Correct me if i'm wrong.
Due to the 3850 is not a POE, the AP unable directly connect to 3850 . I guess have to use power adapter to power on the AP.

Do I need Fibre Channel Switch?

I have purchased an original Xserve RAID which I plan to connect to either an Xserve G4 slot-load -OR- to an Xserve G5 (not both; just haven't decided yet). I know I need the fibre card from Apple, for $500. But can I connect the Xserve directly to the RAID, or do I need a fibre switch? Some info on the Apple Web site implies I do. If not, do I simply connect the fibre card from the Xserve to the RAID using the appropriate cables?
Also, can anyone tell me any real downsides to the original RAID vs. the newer SFP version? Anything I need to know? Main goal here is to basically get a lot of storage space. Probably will use RAID 5. Currently, the RAID has 4 drives, I will probably add more later.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Pete
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If you're connecting the RAID to a single host then you do not need a fiber channel switch. You only need a switch if you're connecting more than 2 devices (e.g. one host to two RAIDs, or one RAID controller to 2 hosts).
As for the downsides, none, really. It's just a different cable connector.
As for the drives, it's a PITA to expand volumes later, so unless you're happy using a 4-drive array and a separate 3-drive array I'd recommend getting the drives sooner rather than later.

Best way to connect 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port Switches

Hello. I have 2 Cisco 3750 PoE 24-port switches in a small office environment. Right now I have a trunk configured off my ASA 5505 to switch 1, and then just an access port configured on a port (switch 1) and an access port configured on a port (switch 2) to connect them together. These switches also have 2 GB SFP ports but they are not being used in this configuration.
I was curious to know if anyone had any better recommend configurations for connecting these 2 switches together? I'm not sure if this particular model can be stacked?

What are the exact model numbers (should be written on a sticker)?
You will know if they can be stacked as you will see the 2x stack ports on the back of each switch :)
If they can then that is probably the way to go unless you want to keep them as separate switches for some reason.
If you want them separate, I would connect them via a Trunk link at least so you can have the same Vlans on both.
Thanks

Newbie: I needs to add a ID attribute to a TD cell tag

Hi,
I feel like I bug u to much... but I needs to hide columns and rows so I needs to add a ID attribute to a TD cell tag or a report region, report.
I tried adding Column Attributes: CSS Class: myclass - it only affects the column text
do I use "Element Attributes" or "Element Option Attributes" if so how?
thanks. RJ

Sorry I posted a little too quick. I see you want to hide a column in a report.
Place this code in the HTML Header of the page
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function getCellIndex(pRow, pCell) {
if (document.all ){ // if IE do things the MS way
    for (var i=0; i<pRow.cells.length; i++) {
      if (pRow.cells[i] == pCell) {
        lCount = i
} else { // do things the standard way
    lCount = pCell.cellIndex;
return lCount;
function cellColumn(pId, pFunction) {
var lCell      = $x(pId);
var lTable     = $x_UpTill(lCell, 'TABLE');
var lRows      = lTable.rows;
var lCellIndex = getCellIndex(lCell.parentNode, lCell);
for (var i=0; i<lRows.length; i++) {
    switch(pFunction){
      case 'TOGGLE':$x_Toggle(lRows.cells[lCellIndex]);break;
case 'SHOW' :$x_Show (lRows[i].cells[lCellIndex]);break;
case 'HIDE' :$x_Hide (lRows[i].cells[lCellIndex]);break;
default:break;
return;
</script>
If your table contained the EMP column you could hide or show with
    cellColumn('EMP', 'SHOW');
    cellColumn('EMP', 'HIDE');

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.
