Adding another 8 port Fibre switch ( bridging)

I have bridge an 8 port qlogic sandbox 5600 to an existing one. Do I need to configure the switch or will it automatically bridge?

Doug,
Here's a link to the manual for that switch.

The answer depends on what your original config is, so read up.

Adding another Cluster into existing CSS LB

Hi,
Im in the process of adding a new cluster into the existing LB. I understand the concept of configuring a new LB but adding a new network to it is a question.
I have preconfigured the LB with a new service called SPWeb 1-4 and an assign this to the content owner Central_Platform using VLAN 144 and 145.
I have one physical connection to the PIX and all port on the PIX is taken. Do I have to setup another physical connection for the new server SPWeb to the PIX?
Both owners Servcorp and Central_Platform are using separate public IP Subnets.
Also, please advise if I miss anything and if you have any suggestions.

It would help if you could attach a picture of the network. I really can't understand why you have 2 VLANs on the same network ? Or am I missing the ide ?
Generally I would just do VLAN tag towards the PIX and have several networks that way. If speed isn't a issue I see no problems with that.

How do I configure Time Capsule to work with 8 port unmanaged switch?

This is what I want to end up with.
cable modem
Time Capsule
wireless network 8 port unmanaged switch TRENDnet TEGS80G
entertainment center(TV, xbox 360, dvd, apple tv, ect...)
I have been using the above setup with an E3000 router in place of the time capsule without any problems, and was expecting to just be able to switch out the E3000 for the time capsule and keep right on rolling. At the moment, without the switch plugged in, using the time capsule as a stand alone wireless router, everything works as intended. However, I don't want to have every device in the house pulling off of wireless. Whenever I plug my switch in I lose internet connectivity. I assume this is because both the switch and the Time Capsule are trying to direct traffic and creating a conflict. I have attempted to disable the NAT in the Airport Utility and this is what happens.
Where do I go from here, or am I heading in completely the wrong direction?

Unfortunately, you are on the wrong track, heading in the wrong direction at the moment.
We need to learn whether you have a simple modem or a modem/router.
This will determine whether the Time Capsule is to be configured in router mode to provide DHCP and NAT services for the network......or if your "modem" is already doing this.....the Time Capsule needs to be configured in Bridge Mode.
So, I suggest that you disconnect the switch from the Time Capsule for now, and power everything off except the modem, Time Capsule and the computer you are using to configure the Time Capsule, and get things working correctly first. Then, devices can be added one at a time to verify proper operation.
If this seems to make sense to you, and you want to move forward, please post back with the make and model number of your cable modem.

Adding another link with etherchannel-PAGP

Hi all,
I have a 10g trunk link between my two 4510 coreswitches. Now the utilization on this link is shooting up to 9.5gb which is forcing us to put another 10g link between these two switches.
We are planning to configure Etherchannel-PAGP. There should be any sort of downtime on the current link while adding another link to it.
How do i add another link with etherchannel -PAGP with out having downtime on the current link? could you please guide me on this?
Thanks
Shibu

Shibu,
Jon is 100% correct, that since this is not already and Etherchannel, there will be downtime, but it should be minimal. Now, what you could do, is depending on your physical topology, you should connect these two switches together with a GigbitEthernet link in the meatnime, it will be blocked by spanning tree (if it's a L2 port), since the 10G link will be give priority by default. Then you could afford downtime on the 10 gig link, while you create an etherchannel, If these two links are L2, you could configure UplinkFast, so the switchover is VERY fast.
I've done this same setup before when making changes, but it all depends on if you can acutally physically do that. If not, you will have some downtime involved.
You can also, just configure all this on notepad, and copy and paste.

Adding another machine to Primary Zone

Adding another machine to Primary Zone
I have a good split-DNS configuration that has been working without issue for some months now since I installed OS X Server Snow Leopard (Mac Mini) at my company's office. We have another machine used as a file server (Mac Pro), without the dedicated server OS installed.
We want to add a virtualized instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 as a guest OS on the Mac Pro via VMWare Fusion. We want to use this Windows Server instance to host some private web based services for our corporate team (intended to be reachable from within the local private network, and remotely, from the public internet (with proper authorization to access only).
So far so good:
-WinServer2008R2 installed as a guest OS on the host Mac Pro
-WinServer's virtual NIC is in bridged mode (joins the host OS's physical network)
-WinServer instance configured with an IP 10.0.1.33, which is set aside and reserved for the WinServer by the local DHCP service on the same network
-WinServer successfully installed and tested IIS7 - both localhost from the WinServer instance and http://10.0.1.33 from other machines on the local private network (and from remote VPN clients) resolve to the WinServer's IIS default page properly.
Where I am stumbling now in configuring DNS on the Mac Mini to properly forward requests aimed at the WinServer instance.
DNS for the local domain is controlled by the Mac Mini. The configuration has been quite simple up to now, as that has met our needs. Just one Primary Zone and one Reverse Zone. We have an external DNS service from DYNDNS that handles any request for our domain from the external public internet. For now I'm not concerned with altering the external DNS service. Once I get the name service to properly resolve requests for the WinServer instance from the local domain, then I'll move onto matching up the external DNS.
--Primary Zones
Primary Zone:
Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net.
Nameservers: Zone: ourcompany.net. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
--Records
Machine Record:
Machine Name: server.ourcompany.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.11
--Reverse Zones
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.11 to: server.ourcompany.net.
The -checkhostname command returns:
Primary address = 10.0.1.11
Current HostName = server.ourcompany.net
DNS HostName = server.ourcompany.net
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
So I attempted to add a Machine Record to the Primary Zone with the following settings:
Machine Record:
Machine Name: dash.thewcateam.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.33
When I did this it added the following Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.33 to: dash.ourcompany.net.
And with the following records added I don't seem to have a proper resolution to 10.0.1.33 when requesting dash.ourcompany.net.
I'm wondering where I should look next in troubleshooting this issue. Any pointers or advice would be very appreciated.

Remove the "Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
It's probably left from when you first configured the server.
Though the "Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net." seems correct.
Then update the 10.0.1.11 record so it's added to the right reverse zone - "1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
In a MacPro we run VM Ware on a separate interface (en1/"Built in 2") that is forced up using a LaunchDaemon. "Built in 2" must be active in Network config in OS X but don't need to be configured (red "LED").
That way the MacPro can use it's own IP on the en0 interface without disturbing en1 and vice versa.

My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for 10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do?

My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for >10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do? I have turned router off and on. Amber light is flashing.

The ethernet says self assigned IP 169.254.67.6
Then the ethernet is not getting an IP from the TC.. there is no connection.
I am not sure where you mean when you say the green LED should be on. Do you mean the TC?
Thanks
In order to help troubleshoot ethernet connections all routers use connectivity leds.. even APPLE.. it has one big LED on the front.. and 4 tiny leds beside each ethernet port. That light has to come on for ethernet to be active.. if you plug an ethernet cable into the port and the light doesn't come on.. then there is no connection.. either the other end isn't plugged in.. or the cable is bad.. or the ethernet port is bad.. something is wrong.
To get access to the TC you need this led to be green.. is it?
If it is green and the WAN is also green.. then I want you to unplug the WAN connection.. the blue wire in the picture.. the port slightly separated from the 3 LAN port.. computer plugged just into LAN port.. no airport turned on.. and press the reset again for 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. then try and bring up the airport utility again.. assuming the ethernet led is green.
How old and what model is the TC?
The A number from the rubber mat will tell us the model.

Catalyst 3560 24 port-PoE switch powers on but no STAT LED and console not responding

I rebooted my Catalyst 3560 24 port PoE switch and when it turned on only the STAT LED went green the other LEDs are off. I get no response from the console port using putty and the cable I used before this happened. I tested the cable on another switch and it works fine with putty. What can I do with this switch?

This unit was purchased before I came to our company. There is no support or maint contract. I'm sure the unit is several years old...we'll call the vendor and see what they'll do..not expecting much.

Adding another Airport Extreme – I'm having problems-

…please help.
I am a total novice when it comes to networking so please explain clearly. I had one AE connected to some speakers in the kitchen so I could stream music there. I got another AE today to connect to my router to hopefully provide a quicker and more reliable wireless connection.
I'm having problems adding the 2 AE to the same network. Tried lots of different ways but nothings worked. I can't my mac to find them both at the same time? When I try to add the other one it asks me to switch networks. When I switch networks i can't see the previous one so I can't add it.
is there any step by step guide to getting 2 AE up and running i.e. adding another AE to an existing network?
Cheers in advance.

kroc_kroc, Welcome to the discussion area!
Even though the title of your thread says "Extreme" I thing you really mean "Express".
If you are trying to connect the 2nd AirPort Express (AX) wirelessly...
(1) Make sure that the 2nd AX is in an area with a good wireless signal from your current wireless network.
(2) Configure the 2nd AX to join a wireless network and select your current wireless network.

Uplink ports and actual sfp port in switches ( please help )

Dear all,
I am reading around to see the differences between uplink ports and normal ethernet ports. It seems to be uplink port just reverse the rx,tx pins and remove the needs of using a crossover cable.
I have done a simple representation of using the below (normal ethernet ports)
PC
SWITCH
ROUTER
RX
straight
TX
straight
RX
RX
straight
TX
straight
RX
TX
straight
RX
straight
TX
TX
straight
RX
straight
TX
I assumed that the SWITCH ethernet port pins are naturally arranged as opposite from the PC so that a straight cable can be used and the same applies to a router port.
Q1) Hence from PC to Router ethernet port, I will need a cross cable, am I right ?
============================================================
Then I chance upon this website http://duxcw.com/faq/network/uplink.htm which states "A PC can be connected to an uplink port with a crossover cable"
As per my assumption above, a router has normal ethernet ports and uplink ports (for connecting to the wan/modem), since the normal ethernet ports of a router are in the order of (RX,RX,TX,TX) as shown above, I assumed the uplink port is (TX,TX,RX,RX).
PC
ROUTER normal ethernet port
PC
ROUTER uplink port
RX
cross
RX
RX
straight
TX
RX
cross
RX
RX
straight
TX
TX
cross
TX
TX
straight
RX
TX
cross
TX
TX
straight
RX
Q2) So how can the PC connect to the Router's Uplink port using a crossover cable ? Shouldn't it be using straight cable instead if it is trying to connect to a router's uplink port ?
============================================================
Q3) Where connecting switches (switch 1 to swtich2) using uplink port, can I say that a straight cable will be connected to switch 1 uplink port on 1 end, and a normal ethernet port in switch 2 on another end ?
SWITCH#1 ethernet port
SWITCH#1 Uplink port
SWITCH#2 ethernet port
TX
RX
straight
TX
TX
RX
straight
TX
RX
TX
straight
RX
RX
TX
straight
RX
============================================================
Q4) What is the purpose of an SFP port in a switch ? is it use as an uplink port ? Where does it actually uplink/connect to ?
Q5) If i connect a switch Uplink port to another switch Uplink port, does it means that I have to use a crossover cable ? does SFP fiber come with "crossover" type too ?
============================================================
Q6) If an uplink port in a switch is use to connect to a router (can we?), do i need to use a crossover cable then ? since a normal switch ethernet port will use a straight cable to connect to a router port ? as shown below
SWITCH
ROUTER
SWITCH UPLINK
ROUTER
TX
straight
RX
RX
cross
RX
TX
straight
RX
RX
cross
RX
RX
straight
TX
TX
cross
TX
RX
straight
TX
TX
cross
TX
============================================================
Q7) Last but not least, if a design connect two switches using SFP uplink ports on both side, what would be the main purpose ? to increase the amount of ports ? Why not stack them then ?
Sorry for the lengthy post, will really appreciate if some gurus can shed some light on the above.
Thanks a million.

Noob

Hi Noob,
On some kit like netgear hubs etc, you may find a little button or
slider switch which may be labelled MDI or MDI(X) this allows a
straight cable to be used between 2 Hubs or switches (Both DCEs).
Some Cisco switches/routers will allow you to do the same but in software
interface fastethernet 1/0/1
mdix auto
====================================
DTE devices like say your laptop PC NIC card has an MDI (Medium Dependant Interface).
Physically this wires out as ( For 10/100M):-
RJ45 PIN
1 -- TRANSMIT +ve
2 -- TRANSMIT -ve
3 -- RECEIVE +ve
6 -- RECEIVE -ve
DCE devices like hubs & swiches have MDI-X (Medium Dependant Interface - Crossedover).
Physically this wires out as ( For 10/100M):-
RJ45 PIN
1 -- RECEIVE +ve
2 -- RECEIVE -ve
3 -- TRANSMIT +ve
6 -- TRANSMIT -ve
So lets connect the device together with a STRAIGHT cable ( Function DTE to DCE)
PC/NIC = DTE = MDI                                SWITCH = DCE = MDI(X)
RJ45 PIN                                           RJ45 PIN
1 -- TRANSMIT +ve -------------------------------- 1 -- RECEIVE +ve
2 -- TRANSMIT -ve -------------------------------- 2 -- RECEIVE -ve
3 -- RECEIVE +ve --------------------------------- 3 -- TRANSMIT +ve
6 -- RECEIVE -ve --------------------------------- 6 -- TRANSMIT -ve
So we transmit from the DTE and receive on the DCE and vice versa (BINGO).
Remember Routers are regarded as DTEs
=================================
So lets connect 2 switches together with a CROSSOVER cable ( Function DCE to DCE)
UPLINK to UPLINK
SWITCH = DCE = MDI(X)                           SWITCH = DCE = MDI(X)
RJ45 PIN                                           RJ45 PIN
1 -- RECEIVE +ve -------------------------------- 3 -- TRANSMIT +ve
2 -- RECEIVE -ve --------------------------------- 6 -- TRANSMIT -ve
3 -- TRANSMIT +ve ------------------------------ 1 -- RECEIVE +ve
6 -- TRANSMIT -ve ------------------------------- 2 -- RECEIVE -ve
So we transmit from the DCE and receive on the DCE and vice versa (BINGO).

Alex

Sun Cluster 3.x connecting to SE3510 via Network Fibre Switch

Sun Cluster 3.x connecting to SE3510 via Network Fibre Switch
Hi,
Currently the customer have 3 nodes clusters that are connected to the SE3510 via to the Sun StorEdge[TM] Network Fibre Channel Switch(SAN_Box Manager) and running SUN Cluster 3.X with Disk-Set.The customer want to decommised the system but want to access the 3510 data on the NEW system.
Initially, I remove one of the HBA card from one the cluster nodes and insert it into the NEW System and is able to detect the 2 LUNS from the SE3150 but not able to mount the file system.After some checking, I decided follow the steps from SunSolve Info ID:85842 as show below:
1.Turn off all resources groups
2.Turn off all device groups
3.Disable all configured resources
4.remove all resources
5.remove all resources groups
6.metaset �s < setname> -C purge
7.boot to non cluster node, boot �sx
8.Remove all the reservations from the shared disks
9.Shutdown all the system
Now, I am not able to see the two luns from the NEW system from the format command.cfgadm �al shows as below:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
C4 fc-fabric connected configured
Unknown
1.Is it possible to get back the data and mount back accordingly?
2.Any configuration need to done on the SE3150 or the SAN_Manager?

First, you will probably need to change the LUN masking on the SE3510 and probably the zoning on the switches to make the LUN available to another system. You'll have to check the manual for this as I don't have these commands committed to memory!
Once you can see the LUNs on the new machine, you will need to re-create the metaset using the commands that you used to create it on the Sun Cluster. As long as the partitioning hasn't changed from the default, you should get your data back intact. I assume you have a backup if things go wrong?!

Adding another monitor

has anyone added another monitor to your I-MAC? Are there ports/slots in these I-MACs?

iMacs have a mini dvi port on them, you just need to get the correct cable to connect it your an external monitor.
The cable would be either the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter:

Airport Extreme dropping connection with a Cisco 5 port Giga switch

I've connected a Cisco 5 port Giga switch SG100D-05 to one of the LAN ports of the Airport Extreme and for some reason the connection is being dropped or it fails to connect. Any idea of why this is happening and how can it be fixed?

If you have not already done so, you might want to do some basic troubleshooting to try to isolate the cause of the issue.
To do that, temporarily disconnect the switch and power it off. Connect a computer with an Ethernet port on it to the LAN port on AirPort Extreme and turn off the wireless on the computer.
Test to see you can get a good Internet connection this way.
If you can, then you know that the LAN port on the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly and your troubleshooting efforts will need to focus on testing each port on the Cisco switch.
If you cannot get a good connection with the computer connected directly to the AirPort Extreme, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working to eliminate the possibility of a bad Ethernet cable, which is the culprit more often than you might think.
Please post back on the results of your testing.

Another entry in the Switch to PC diary

Another entry in the Switch to PC diary. I have always had a profound respect for video engineers / computer nerds that not only have a wealth of information, but listen to my needs and are able to translate that into tools that help me work smarter and faster. I wish everyone switching could talk to Eric at ADK. I always come away educated and excited about possibilities and solutions I had not even considered. He also is the tech support for that company as well as a hands on editor.Their website doesnt have the flash and glamor that HP and Boxx do, but his ability to craft a system that enhances my workflow AND to explain why is far more important than glitzy PR. So I will continue to wait until around NAB when the new Sandy Bridge E - Dual Xeon boards are released. Im 58 years old and this might well be the last computer of this magnitude and power that I buy. And I want it to do everything from AVCHD to EPIC if need be.
