6500 or 4500 for the access layer

I would like to get some input as to the best switch to use at the access layer. I am considering both the 6500 with a Supervisor 32 and the 4500 with a Supervisor 5. I am using the Sup 720 in the data center so staying with a single platform is appealing although the 4500 clearly appears to out perform the Sup 32.
Does anyone have experience with the Supervisor 32? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Go with the 6500 with the Sup32. Cisco has a bundle with a chassis, Sup32, and a Fan for the reduced price.
Few reasons the Sup32 is a better choice.. (engage your Local Cisco account team for a overview to compare architectures)
Same Layer2 engine as the Sup720. This means you will receive the same Layer2 performance as the Sup720 would using classic line cards
Modular IOS and the Same IOS as your core. This allows you to only have to test and maintain one code for the network
Can upgrade to a Sup720 later if your needs change. (or the next version line cards as well without replacing chassis)
higher density POE support in the 6500 chassis.
Many more features are supported in Hardware on the Sup32 due to the PFC3B.
Control Plane Policing. Hardware policiers
Service module support
Dont let PPS fool you on the spec sheets. Look at the architecture as a whole. The Sup V on the 4500 is a shared memory architecture and has a limited "punt path". The Sup32 has a 1Gbs punt path and the SupV is under 250k pps. The Sup V also does not have a dedicated L2 engine like the Sup32 does (PFC3B vs asic)
Your profile also lists you as with a financial firm. With multicast in the equation, the 6500 is always the best bet. The Multicast features/policers support in hardware to insure reliability and low latency switching is a perfect fit for the Sup32/Sup720.
With the Sup32 you can have the same reliability you have in the core. Also, the 6500 bundle cost comes to roughly the same cost as the 4500.

Layer 3 to the Access Layer and MPLS Design Considerations

Hi,
We are about to install a new network consisting of Cat 4500s with Sup7E at the Access Layer, with Nexus 7000 at the Distribution and Core layers.
We have 14 floors with at least three 4500s on each floor. Within the office block where the Access Layer and Distribution Layer reside we need to support secure borderless networking using 802.1x to place users from different parts of the business into segregated networks at layer 3.
All switches will have the feature sets to support MPLS/ VRF / OSPF / EIGRP / BGP etc.
We quickly dismissed the idea of using VRF-Lite due to the sheer number of Vlans we would need to managage and maintain, the point to point links alone just to get one additional VRF on each floor required far too many Vlans.
As a result we are now considering deploying MPLS. The obvious benefits include scalability and manageability, the fact that all switch to switch links can now be routed, instead of having to using SVIs.
My query is one of design surrounding MPLS and how this maps to an enterprise network with a routed access layer. Do Cat 4500s become the CEs and take part in MPLS / BGP and Label Distribution, or does the BGP peering and Label Distribution only occur between the Distrubtion - Core - Distrubtion layers, mapping to the PE - P - PE topology in an ISP environment, the access layer simply uses the IGP (OSPF in this case) to learn routes ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your response.
I have been doing a little bit more research it seems the Cat 4500s do not support MPLS!! Nor do Cisco have any plans to support it on this platform. I find this a little rediculous considering the level that Cisco are pitching this platform. With the Sup 7E only VRF Lite is supported, with plans to support EVN (which still uses trunk links for logical separation).
So it looks like we are going to have to go back to the drawing board.
(perhaps we should have gone HP or Juniper!)
Chris.

Several layered effects of the same kind but with different adjustments for the same layer

Hi,
I wonder if it there is an easy way to have several different instances of e.g. glow or bevel and emboss on the same layer.
I know I can achieve this by using smart objects or a duplicate layer with zero blending.
I just wondered if there is a way to do this directly in the layer effects.

Hi emil emil,
thx for your answer!
I wasn't even refering to different objects on the same layer, btw. it would be enough if I was able to layer e.g. different bevel and emboss on top of each other (With different colors, softness and size.) But I guess the answer remains the same.

I have asked for the access code for the Photoshop that I have purchased.

I have applied for an access code for the Photoshop that I have purchased. I sent a payslip as well as registration as a teacher. Can I get the access code from you? I purchaed the product early last month and have not recieved any information.
Thanking you for your time and help

do you have a serial number? have you installed photoshop? are you trying to activate and are you looking for an activation code?

What is the equivalent Oracle datatype for the access Memo type?

Yep. Look at this example:

Table created.
SQL>insert into x values (
2 'This is a very long string
3 and that was an carriage return - entered in notepad'
4 )
5 /

My iPad 2 won't react to any touch, except for the accessibility button.

MY iPad 2, using the software of IOS 8 something, won't react to my touch. I can't even restart it. I was updating 4 apps at once. The only thing I could press is the accessibility button. Also, after updating to IOS 8,there is a strip of screen in the middle of my iPad that won't react to my touch. Now the whole screen won't.

iOS Reset -
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the device, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

Can an OS upgrade for Power Mac 5400, 5500, and 6500 be used for the 7200?

I have a Power PC 7200 with OS 7.5.1 and got an upgrade to 7.6.1 off ebay. The disc
is labeled 5400, 5500 and 6500 series. Can I use it on my 7200?

Looking at the initial sell date of the various models reveals the following:
7200 - Aug 95
5400 - Apr 96
5500 - Feb 97
6500 - Feb 97
Since the 3 models listed on the CD were released after the 7200, I would think that it probably would not work. But I would try to see if it works. You might get a message saying you can't install it on the 7200. What you might do is duplicate the System folder on the 7200. Then try to install. If the install doesn't work or corrupts the system files, you can trash the "updated" and then use the duplicated system folder.

I am trying to re load Lightroom 5.7 frommy outside hard drive to my new hard drive . I am able to reach a certain point in the download and I am then asked for the access code which I do not have. I had upgraded on line from Lightroom3.

Hello,
I just had the hard drive on my computer replaced, and the Lightroom5.7 and Photoshop cannot be sent over from the outside hard drive without an access code!! Now what do I do? Will Adobe have a record of my Lightroom3 download and my 5.7 upgrade?

If you took the time to register your software on the Adobe web site, then you can log on and retrieve your serial numbers.
Find your serial number quickly
You ought to be able to retrieve the serial numbers from your first hard drive ... that requires knowing what your operating system is and if the first hard drive actually is readable.
And if none of that works ... well then I think you're way out of luck.
Might I suggest you adopt a new method of keeping track of your serial numbers, not just for Lightroom but all of your software? I suggest you create a computer text file named serialnumbers.txt, containing all of your serial numbers, stored on your computer and in a cloud backup service (like DropBox which is free) so that you will never lose it.

Are there any examples of queres or reports for the Access DB TS can generate?

I am currently useing the default TestStand SPC database storage routine to store the results of all runs. Are there any tools, queries, reports, etc. to help me post process this database? I thought I would check here before making something myself. Mainly looking for something that will do a scatter plot for a certian test so I can see where all the data is falling within the limits.

Currently NI does not have any post processing tools to assist you in formating the result information specifically for TestStand databases. Obviously using LabVIEW or LW/CVI or some other programming language you could write your own program to do such post processing.

6500 access layer QoS

I have 6506E Sup32 PFC3B 12.2(18)SXE device at the access layer of the network and would like to implement QoS (for access ports) for Voice, Video.
I suppose that untrusted microflow policing is best for me. But documents say that such kind functionality works for L3 MSFC routed traffic. For PFC3b I can use "mls qos bridged" for bridged traffic on specified vlans. Does it really work for input service policy on access ports for traffic from user ports (if I use this command on user's int VLAN)?
Distribution and core layers of my networks are MPLS based.
Config:
interface FastEthernet2/1
switchport
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 30

Access for the IT 0008 at the Program Level.

Friends
Quick question for your for the access for IT 008 for specific user.
User have the access for the PA30 Tcode for IT 008.
but user runs the Z* customized program to update IT 008 for specific Per number, he or she
can not update the IT 008 for the user.
There is not "authority-check" statement in the program
Please advise.
Thanks,

Hi,
Try assigning the P_ABAP authorization objects which is used during the authorization check for HR Reports.
Give the report name in the REPID field
and in the COARS give 0,1, or 2 depending on the degree of simplification required.
Different values for COARS
: Authorization using
COARS = <BLANK> or no authorization. The authorization checks are to be processed as in
Authorization using
COARS = 1.The authorization checks for the infotype/subtype combination and for organizational assignment are to be checked separately. This means that a user is authorized to read a personnel number when he or she has a read authorization for all the infotypes (subtypes) requested by the program and that the user has a read authorization for the organizational assignment of the personnel number. Authorization using
COARS = 2. The authorization check is inactive.
Thanks.

Where can I find an Access key for the user with "AS ABAP sneak preview" ?

Hi all,
I have installed AS ABAP sneak preview on my laptop.
I use username "bcuser" and password "minisap". when I try to create some objects like, i.e. Function Group for Function Module, then it ask for an access key.
Where can I find an access key for this ABAP SNEAK PREVIEW for user "bcuser"?
I have gone thru some documents, I know we need to register user in OSS and need to get an access key from the marketplace but can I register this user "bcuser" or it's already register? I need some more specific information to resolve this issue.
Please advise me on above question.
Thanks,
Haresh Solanki

Hi Rich,
I have entered ZH_XYZ as a Function Group name to create a new function group. While I am creating it, it asks for the Access Key. I tries to enter an Access Key here for the first time and it says wrong entry for access key.
Also if I try to create new Function Module, it ask me to select the Function Group. As I couldn't create a new Function Group, I tried to select from existing(from SAP System's FG), still it asks for an access key, I enter the an Access Key here, then also it says wrong entry.
I really got confused with this Access Key thing, can you provide me some insights?
Thanks,
Haresh Solanki

VLANs for the WiSM

Hi Everybody,
we followed the cisco layered model in our campus design where we have 6500 switch at the core, 4500 at the distribution and 3750 at the access layer.
The connectivity between the core and the distribution is layer 3, the connectivity between the distribution and access layer is layer 2.we have all the intervlan routing on the distribution switches.we have recently installed two WiSM controllers in our core and planning to deploy light weight access points.
we want to use the exiting VLANS that we created for the wired users on the distribution switch for Wireless LAN users . I wanted to know if this is possible because as the dynamic interfaces for the Wireless VLANS would be created on the WiSM that is on the core switch and as the dynamic interface are like SVIs for the Wireless VLANS.
Secondly i wanted to know what does it mean to assign a VLAN to the WiSM
Regards,
Ahmed Zubedi

I would recommend keeping the wired vlan separate from the wireless vlan.
You need to assign a vlan for the service port of the controllers. This is local to the 6500 and is not routeable. This is how the controllers talk to the 6500. I normally do like a 192.168.1.x

Bandwidth from Access Layer to Distribution Layer

Folks:
I am currently on Chapter 12 of “CCNP Switching 642-813, Official Certification Guide” ISBN: 978-1-58720-243-8. I am currently not grasping the three layers entirely, and I was hoping someone could offer insight in a different way.
I believe I understand, that switches in the Access-Layer can be layer2 devices (2950, etc), and devices in the Distribution Layer should be Multilayer devices such as Layer-3 switches (3750) and inter-vlan routing takes place at the Distribution layer. But what I do not understand – how does one account for bandwidth and traffic from the Access Layer switches to the Distribution Switches?
Let use a 24 port 2950 switch located at the Access-Layer. If everyone was online and communicating, the total traffic for the switch would be 4.8 Gbps. The latter is due to each port providing 100 Mbps but in Full-Duplex, so (100*2)*24. So, how does an engineer spec out the required uplink ports from the Access Layer to the Distribution?
I am sure this is easy; however, I am not getting the concepts. Any insight is great.

As noted by Peter, edge hosts don't generally all concurrently push/pull their full port bandwidth for substained periods. However, host bandwidth usage often varies much by "kind" of host. For example, many server hosts are "busier" than most user hosts, so when designing networks you normally design for lower oversubscription ratios for server hosts than for user hosts. Old rule-of-thumbs ratios suggest oversubscription ratios of about 8:1 to 4:1 for servers, and about 48:1 to 24:1 for users.
Keep in mind that oversubscription ratios can be "skewed" by what the host is doing, i.e. not all server or user hosts have similar bandwidth demands. For example, your primary mail server or primary file server might be much "busier" than other server hosts. Likewise, some user hosts might be much "busier", for example, years ago I supported a LAN segment of CADD (20) workstations which had more traffic on their local LAN than the (2,000 user) corporate backbone.
