Catalyst 4510R-E and Line Card Options

I am considering purchasing the following 4510R-E switch items for installation in a new building that will go online shortly.
a) 1 x 4510R-E Chassis (WS-C4510R-E)
b) 1 x Supervisor Engine 6-E (WS-X45-Sup6E)
c) 1 x 24-Port 10/100/1000 Module (WS-X4424-GB-RJ45)
d) 6 x 48-Port PoE 803.3af 10/100 (WS-X4248-RJ45V)
We are purchasing classic line cards for item c and d initially due to budget restrictions.
Three questions:
1) What power supply should I purchase to power this configuration?
2) The 4510 will connect to two Catalyst Blade 3020 switch, each using 4gig etherchannels. Can we do this connecting to item c or do we need an additional card (the only other things attached to item c are probably a Windows storage server and domain controller)
3) Does this sound like it will give us good performance or have I missed anything?
Many thanks for any advice
Mark

1:) Do you plan to use PoE with your line cards? Make sure you plan accordingly. I would recommend using the power calculator for this.
2:)This can be done no problem. No additional equipment required.
3:) You should be fine performance wise. This is a pretty standard setup.

Guest wireless with WLC 2504, Catalyst 4510R+E and ASA 5510

I need to add guest (internet only) wireless to our existing internal wireless and am looking for advice as to the best practice configuration. Existing infrastructure as follows:
WLC 2504
1142 LAPs
4510R+E
ASA 5510
Existing configuration as follows:
WLC management interface and APs addressed on the 192.168.126.0 /25 network
Internal WLAN mapped to the management interface
Management interface VLAN ID 0 (untagged) and dynamic AP management enabled
WLC port 1 (only) connected to 4510 via trunk with native VLAN set to 7 and allowed VLAN set to 7
4510 connected to ASA inside interface (security level 100)
Switchport on 4510 connected to ASA configured as switchport access VLAN 99 (our internet VLAN)
ASA inside interface NOT configured for subinterfaces and is addressed on the 192.168.121.0 /25 network
What is the best way to add guest wireless to our existing configuration?
Note: I need the guest wireless to be filtered by Websense as our internal wireless is
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank for the reply Scott. The configuration recommendations from Yahya did not work. I set up as he recommended and also added a dhcp scope on the wlc. Client gets dhcp but cannot even ping the wlc much less anything else. Yahya stated above to configure port 2 on the wlc to an access port on my 4510. Aren't all connections from the wlc supposed to be trunk links to the switch? Shouldn't I just leave the management interface on the wlc untagged and add a dynamic interface for each wlan and tag it with the approriate vlan id? And then leave the (one) physical connection on the wlc (port 1) connected to a trunk link on the 4510 that allows the required vlans?
Any input would be greatly appreciated...

App Store and credit card options

I used to be able to select the none section of credit card info but since I added a prepaid MasterCard I can't choose this anymore. I even tried to create another Apple ID but the none selection was still unavailable! Help!

I do have a valid payment method. But it's not accepting it I shouldn't have to buy an iTunes card when I have a perfectly good credit card. It's for App Store nut iTunes

Paper quality for greeting and post-cards

Our first baby is due this month and we're considering using iPhoto to put together the baby announcements. I've looked at the greeting card and post-card options, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me from experience what they are like. I'm curious as to whether the paper they use is higher quality card stock or simple photo-paper. Has anyone ordered cards or postcards through the iPhoto service?

Forum leader Old Toad contacted Apple and posted their reply regarding the print services. Read it here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4001580

You can create an Apple ID without a credit card by following this guide exactly: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534. Note that you have to start by downloading a free app, then create the ID.

Is there a sound card with a Microphone AND Line In jack on the boa

I have been looking through Creative's cards and it seems like they all share the Microphone and Line In on one jack. I need 2 separate jacks because I need to use both at the same time. I do not have a free dri've bay for a bay device either, so I need the jacks to be on the card itself.
Does Creative make a sound card like this? Or should I look somewhere else?

You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this. If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

Cisco 7600 ES Plus Intelligent Services Gateway License-For old and new 7600-ES+20G3CXL= line card

Hi everyone
i had an one thing, that i don't understand clearly.
We had Cisco 7609-S witth 7600-ES+20G3CXL line card and Intelligent Services Gateway License (76-ES+ISG-LIC)
Now the Line card had hardware problem, and my manager not alllow me to buy services, He want to by the brandnew one.
I read some informations from cisco website " The license is purchased per chassis in increments of 8000 subscribers requiring BNG features with 8 MPLS VPNs per license".
But i don't know clearly that can we use the existing 76-ES+ISG-LIC with the New Line card? or I must buy the both of things
Anybody can support me?
Thanks

Graphics Card Options on iMac 20 and 24 inch

I hate thelack of consumer graphics cards options for the iMac. I was going to buy the 20" iMac and upgrade the memory to 256MB when I decided to check out the 24".
On the Canadian site, to upgrade the 20" X1600 card to 256MB is $150. On the 24", to go from the Geforce 7300 128MB to the Geforce 7600 256MB is only $90. Ram 'AND' better(slightly?) graphics card upgrade.
Can someone explain as I asked an Apple retailer and they couldn't.
I went into CompuSmart afterwards and they actually had a X1600 card but it had 512MB on it. (For $150, I'd think I'd get an upgrade to 512, not 256).
I guess us consumers don't need more powerful graphics cards.
iMac Core2Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Let me see if I can explain this to you.
The grahics card in the iMac 20" is an ATI Radeon X1600. It comes standard with 128 MB of VRAM. You can upgrade the VRAM to 256 MB for $75 on the U.S. store. That's $150 on the Canadian store.
The standard graphics card in the 24" iMac is an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 128 MB of VRAM. The upgrade option here is not just adding more VRAM, but putting a whole new card in the iMac. The 256 MB VRAM option for the iMac 24" is a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT with 256 MB VRAM. That upgrade is $125 on the U.S. store. That's $90 on the Canadian store.
The only way I can think that this is possible is because, in Canada, ATI's cards might be more expensive than NVIDIA's cards.
There is no option on any iMac to get any graphics card with 512 MB of VRAM in it.
Hope this Helps

7600 / SUP720-3BXL - mixing fabric and non-fabric enabled line cards

Dear All,
I am having to mix fabric and non-fabric enabled line cards on a single chassis.
These are my line cards:
WS-X6704-10GE
WS-X6408A-GBIC
WS-X6148-GE-TX
What's the maximum expected throughput in running with mix fabric line cards ?
Also, what will be the optimal and the recommended switching mode to run (truncated vs. bus-mode) ?
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
egards,
ZH

hi!
The maximum throughput will depend on the ingress and the egress card for the traffic. i.e. If the traffic is coming on the fabric enabled card and going out on the same, then the throughput is would be equal to the fabric card ( 20 gbps duplex). But if there is a non fabric card either in the ingress or egress path, then the throughput would be limited by the non-fabric card.
As for the mode to run in, I dont think you would have to worry on that as a fabric card would default to truncated mode where-as the non-fabric cards would run in the bus mode. This works fine, as if the ingress to egress is a fabric card, only the header is sent to the superviser for processing using the tuncated mode and the packet is just sent on the fabric directly to the egress port.
If there is a communication between fabric-non-fabric cards, then the fabric card still uses truncated mode to get the packet processed by the L2/L3 engines on Superviser and then if the egress is a non fabric card, then the packet is sent over the fabric to the superviser. From there the packet is sent to the egress over the bus.
