Adding switch into an existing stack

Hi all,
I have an existing stack which comprises of 6 switches, please help with the following questions :
1/ adding another switch into this stack will cause all switches in stack to reboot ? anything that I should be aware of such as different versions ?
2/ maximum switches in one stack should be ?
Thanks for all help.

Hi Duc,
If you are stacking 3750 switches you can have a max of 9 switches in one stack. The only thing you have to make sure before adding the new switch is that its IOS version should be exactly same as the IOS version of rest of the stack.
You dont have to worry about any reload of existing stack. Connect the stack cables to the new switch, power it up and it will be added to the existing stack.

Adding jumbo frame support into an existing Ethernet network

I have a remote site with 40 users that connect back to our main site via two point to point T-1s. These users connect to an Exchange server (DMZ), Sybase databases on Sun servers (Internal network), and access the Internet via the main site.
I have installed a new WS-2970G-24TS-E switch into the network at this remote site. I have connected all of the designers (total of 10) Apple G5 workstations and two Apple Xserves to this switch. I have also configured the system jumbo MTU to 9000 bytes on the 2970. I have not yet enabled jumbo frames on the Xserves or the G5s since I am unsure of what the effect on the network might be. I imagine it could range from dropped packets to crashing the router.
I would like to enable jumbo frame support on these devices since they transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data on their local network. But if I do this, what will be the affect when they attempt to visit web sites or connect to the Exchange server?
How have you guys worked with this type of scenario?
The address space for this site is a /25 of one of our class Cs.
Please see the attached Visio diagram that outlines the connection points throughout the network.
Thank you

Best practice here is to segment your Jumbo Frame servers on their own VLANs for Jumbo supported systems only.
As a post here has already mentioned, Path MTU discovery will tell the systems on the Jumbo VLANs to keep the frames under 1500 when talking to a non-Jumbo VLAN.

Hi Expect,
I have an running J2EE web server while i want to add NWDI compoents into it. I know how to done it start from scatch (i.e select the NWDI option using installation master).
However, i don't know how to add NWDI into an existing J2EE instance since the installation master do not have any "update option"
Please help.

hi,
It is possible to add NWDI to esisting j2ee instance.
Follow these steps,
1.If it is 04,
deploy SAPDEVINF.sca from offline component folder in your 04 build.It will be under sikwxx.relesed\j2ee-cd\jdi.
deploy SAPDEVINF.sca and SA{BUILDT from online component folder in the same path as said above.
2.after deploying go to visual admin.
c:\usr\sap\SID\JCxx\j2ee\admin--->go.bat
Go to SID----->services----->Component Build Services.
Then enter Java home path in the column which appears to the right
and set Idlestart to false.
3.Then go to c:\usr\sap\SID\sys\global\CMS_CBS\plugins.Then copy all the sca's under that to c:\usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox.
If it is 04s
1.Deploy DI-DTR,DI-CBS,DI-CMS on to the engine from production path under BS folder release.
2.2.after deploying go to visual admin.
c:\usr\sap\SID\JCxx\j2ee\admin--->go.bat

CiscoView not displaying all switches in a 3750-Stack

Hi,
I am running LMS 4.1 and have an issue with Inventory: I have a stack of four 3750 switches, but only two of them are showing up in CiscoView. If I right-click - Topology - Device Report ; I see all four switches.
The switches are standard 3750 switches and should be included in the Device Packages for CiscoView
Also if I go Reports - Detailed Device ; I see the same two devices show up under Module Information. However when I go to Reports - Device Attributes ; I see all four devices correctly displayed.
I have tried and deleted and added the stack in CiscoPrime, but with same result.
Any ideas what the cause and fix could be?
Thanks

No, the problem is not in ciscoworks but on the stacks.
You may need to take a backup of one of the stacks, port descriptions vlans , etc, and then do a write erase.
Next you will need to Read The F Manual to make the other stack always be the master. Something in the config registry... -) I don't recall what or how.
Then you can connect the 2 switches from the other stack you erased to the existing stack, and then power the new member on.
Then you should have one stack.
The stack IP you deleted can be removed from ciscoworks, the other will be updated.
Then you can configure the new stack members as they were configured previously, port descriptions vlans , etc.
Cheers,
Michel

Do I need to create ip address to another switch when i use stack?

Good Day!
Please help me to answer this question in my title. I have 2 switches my old switch has configure ip address and i will use stack to my another switch the old one will be the primary and new switch is the secondary do i need to configure the ip address of the new 1 or no need? i'm totally confuse on it. I hope you can help me regarding on this matter.Thank you.

no Need.
Here is the procedure:
Tips to Add a Switch as a Slave to the Stack
To add a switch, as a slave, to a stack, complete these steps:
Note: Make sure the switch that you add into the stack has the same IOS version as the switches in the stack. Refer to Catalyst 3750 Software Upgrade in a Stack Configuration with Use of the Command-Line Interface to upgrade the IOS in a catalyst 3750 switch.
Change the switch priority of the switch to be added to "1".switch stack-member-number priority new-priority-valueNote: This step is optional, but it will make sure that the switch has fewer chances to become a stackmaster in the future.
Power off the switch that is to be added.
Make sure that the stack is fully connected so that, when you connect the new switch, the stack will be at least in half connectivity and does not partition.
Connect the new switch to the stack with the StackWise ports.
Power on the newly added switch.
After the new switch comes up, issue the command show switch to verify stack membership.

Which is better a new schema or adding tables in the existing schema

Hi All,
We have a new requirement from the client asking us to include a few new functionalities(pages--- all together a new application has to be embedded into our application) in our application. By adding these new functionalities, the number of hits to our application can be doubled.
As per the above requirement, I would like to know that whether to create a new schema or to create some new tables in the existing database for the new functionalities.
By what way, can I handle the number of requests in a better way? by creating the new schema or by creating the new tables for the new functionalities.
Also I would like like to know what kind of factors will differ between creating a new schema or creating new tables for the new functionalities in the existing schema.
FYI... We are using Cold Fusion as front-end and Oracle 9i for back-end

I agree with VD in that it all depends on how closely the new features ties into your existing application structure.
The second major factor to consider is since you mention "for client" is if your application has more than one client and if you will be rolliong this feature into the application for all clients. If you have multiple clients but only this one gets this feature then it may make more sense to use a second schema, but it really depends on how easy to identify and separate this feature's objects for the purpose of maintaining it through future upgrades is going to be.

Adding photos to an existing Mobile Me Gallery

When I drag a photo from an event into an existing Mobile Me gallery it/ will always be at the bottom of the gallery window (in last place). I have a few galleries that I like to update often with new photos. I would love if those new additions would be the first in the series without having to find the new photo and drag it to the top of the list of the gallery. Does anyone know a setting that I can change to make this happen?

After you've added the new photos and they have been published to the gallery, go into the gallery in iPhoto, rearrange the photos as you want and hit the publish button again. That will rearrange the photos online.

Importing Word doc into Previously Existing Project Corrupts Related Topics

Hi,
I had a few extra topics that I documented in a Word document
and imported that document into an existing HTML Help project in
RoboHelp. After doing this, it used the CSS file called by the new
folder it added for those new topics (based on the name of the
imported word doc) and when I look at topics in WYSIWIG, the text
on them is Design_Time Con. (I used the text only style of related
topics). When I select the related topic button in WYSIWIG and view
the popup, the menu choice for properties is deactivated so I can't
even edit the topics in them. And, when I try to add a new related
topic, it looks the same "corrupted" way.
What am I going to do? Is there are project setting that is
pointing to the wrong directory? What can I do to save my related
topics. I have over 400 topics all with related topics buttons and
each has an average of 6-8 related topics listed.

P.S. I also tried creating a new project and importing the
htm files into it but it is doing the same thing.
Here is the code for the Related Topics in one of the topics
as a sample:

Can I add an Airport Express into an existing Non Airport Wireless Network?

Hi -
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?. I would not mind switching completely over to Airport but I want to maintain a hybrid (part wired part wireless) configuration as I have now.
thanks for any assistance!!

Hi skyelaird and welcome to the Discussions
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an
existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?.
Yes.
You would need to configure the Airport Express to join an existing wireless network (client mode).
In this mode you can share a USB printer and stream AirTunes, however the ethernet port would be inactive.

How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event?

How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event while using the latest version of iPhoto?

You can merge two Events simply by dragging one to the other.
You can move photos between Events by drag and drop or by first flagging them, then switching to Events View and selecting the target Event and going Events Menu -> Add Flagged Photos to selected Event.

Firefox keeps switching into Safe Mode, necessitating restart

Firefox keeps switching into Safe Mode, necessitating Mac restart to get my extensions back. I'm fed up! -- I keep having to shut down umpteen apps to restart.
Thanks for any insight,
peter wilson (Montréal)

Can you give a description of what you call "Safe Mode" From my reading, the "Safe Mode" is something added on by a specific tool used to Jailbreak an iPhone. Unless you are talking about something different.

Adding portal to an existing domain

Hi I have a JSP/Servlet web applicatin and
I want to make it a portal application.
I was following Weblogic Portal Development
Guide 7.0. I found the section
"Adding portal to an existing domain" is very incomplete
or confusing and I cannot do it. Is there any better document
for this?

Judging from the dates between these two entrries and no answers, I'd
guess that there isn't anyone from BEA monitoring this group? I am in a
similar situation. What I want to understand is how one can "portalize" an
existing web app. I understand there are implications to some of the
presentation, but specifically, I want to deploy a Servlet based app that
uses EJBs and deploy this as an EAR in the same domain as the portal
(perhaps under the /applications directory). I can make everything work
except the webflow where I reference the Servlet.
Specifically, I have a presentation page that is defined to be my servlet.
When I try to build a webflow URL referencing this event, I get errors from
the portal because it presumes it may be located somewhere else or in a
different namespace. It leads me to believe that I can't reference a
servlet unless it is under the /framework or /portal directories under the
portal web-app directory. I'm convinced there must be a way to reference
other web components that aren't specifically part of the portal web app,
but can't figure out how to propagate the webflow element to the actual
servlet I want.
Any ideas from the community at large? This must be something other
people have wrestled with since I can't imagine that only new apps will be
put into portals.
Thanks,
Mark

Cancelling a line and and adding new lines to existing PO using API

Hi,
Can any one please help me know how I can cancel a line and insert new lines into a existing PO using any API.
Many Thanks,
Srinivas.

You can add the new lines by calling our Telesales Department at 800-256-4646.
Thank you,
Really?! I didn't know that made a difference...I thought secondary lines were $25 - well, ya learn something new every day!
And a side note - we added a line for my 75+ yr old mother with one of our old flip phones and CS was extremely kind in waiving the activation fee (I could have sworn it was $25 charged and credited on the bill), PLUS they boxed up the flip phone after activating it (with an out of state number to boot) and shipped it to my Mom, all at no additional cost to me. I'm not saying that will be everyone's experience, and I was amazed the service rep offered to ship it for me - but I smiled and said "THANK YOU!" and accepted it!

Connecting a 2950 Switch to an existing small network

Wondering what's the best way to connect a 2950 Switch to an existing small network. It consists of a few computers on just basic old Linksys switches, but there's only 1 network cable going to the back room, where we have several computers that need to access the internet. I've had a spare 2950 kicking around (RMA from a customer, all ports work but a good bunch of them do not light for some reason) that I'd like to just connect to the existing network line in the back room and have it piggyback essentially so all the machines in the back room can have internet access.
I'm just wondering how I should go about wiring and setting up this switch to work properly, as it's been awhile since I've done this, and the last time I did, it was with the ancient 1900 series switches :).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
basically, it depends on if you have different VLANs implemented in your current network or not. If not, you could just connect the 2950 to one of the Linksys switches, using a crossover cable. The default VLAN for all ports on the 2950 is VLAN 1, so all you have to do is plug your computers into the (working) ports of the 2950, without configurung anything else.
