Connect to switch loopback address

Hello,
I have a loopback address on swich A, also switch A connects to switch B through a trunk.  Switch B has 3 SVI vlans that are routed thru eigrp.  What I want to do is connect to switch A to loopback IP address. I tried a static route but did not work can connect to loopback address.  The config for switch A is loopback address is 192.168.137.6 255.255.255.255. On swich B one switch SVI address is 192.168.136.1 255.255.255.128 and eigrp  routes 192.168.136.1 thru network 192.168.136.0.  Can I use a static route from loopback address to SVI address 192.168.136.1 I tried that did not work. I just want to configure something only on switch A to connect  to loopback address for management, any suggenstions what will work and with what switch commands?
Thanks,

I am not fully understanding the environment that you describe and so do not fully understand your issue. But based on what I think that I do understand it seems to me that it should be possible to configure a host specific static route on switch B that would allow you to connect to the loopback on switch A, assuming that switch A has an IP address other than the loopback which is reachable from switch B. If this does not seem to adequately address your question then please provide clarification of your question.

  • I don't use a proxy server to connect to the internet, but Firefox automatically configures itself to use the loopback address.

    I have a direct connection to the internet and don't use a proxy server. Every few weeks, Firefox automatically resets itself to be configured to use a proxy server at the loopback address (127.0.0.1). Manually changing it back to "No proxy" works, but I have to do so each time I open the browser or even a new tab. The only fix I can find is to create a new profile which gives me a new, clean install of FF, but then I lose all my add-ons. This has happened repeatedly now and it's extremely frustrating. I have scanned for malware but have not found any problems.

    hello rjlasser, first of all please make sure that none of your extensions is causing the issue (some youtube censorship circumvention addons also make use of proxies for example).
    otherwise please refer to [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] for some common solutions.

  • Loopback address as management address

    Hi
    Can I create loopback interfaces on all my layer-3 capable switches and use this address to manage all my switches instead of using vlan 1 as management vlan.what exactly i mean is
    I have a 7200 router and ten 3750 switches connected to it. So can i create loop back on all my switches and 7200 and use this address to manage all the switches.
    Is this possible. If so is there any disadvantage in doing so. Thanks for your help.

    1) It means all loopback address in each device should be different. loopback interface just like a logical interface in a device.
    2) VLAN 1 is default and built-in VLAN in a switch, we normally will create another VLAN for the management purpose only. You can assign the management VLAN to a port then this port will only be the management segment connection or include the management VLAN in the trunk to other devices.
    In real situation, many providers use loopback address for the management and routing ID due to this interface never down. And you can assign separated subnet for the management segment w/o require to use production/data network subnet.
    Hope this helps.

  • Does loopback address of a router have a vlan??

    hi all,
    i need to know if the interface IP for BGP link and the loopback address of router have a vlan for them or not??
    is yes, then how to check that?

    Peter
    While I basically agree with your response I would propose one refinement. If we are looking at the physical Ethernet interface of a router and if that interface is connected to a switch access port then there is certainly a VLAN associated with the switch side. And one might then also say that the VLAN is associated with the router physical interface.
    Perhaps another way to look at it starts from the fact that a defining characteristic of a VLAN is that it defines a layer 2 broadcast domain. A router physical interface also defines a layer 2 broadcast domain.

  • Networking Best Practices - Connecting Two Switches

    Connecting two switches together is an easy task, which makes it so frustrating when it doesn’t work. Here we will outline a basic scenario of connecting two switches and achieving connectivity. In these scenarios we will be using commands and settings that will work for most modern PowerConnect switches. However this does not cover all possible scenarios and the commands may differ slightly from switch to switch.
    For instance, in most cases you can use General or Trunk mode when connecting two switches. However, on the PowerConnect 62xx series switches, you must use General mode if you want to allow management traffic onto the switch over the PVID.  If you use Trunk mode, you will not have the default VLAN on those ports.  The ports will only allow tagged traffic.
    For more details on the difference between Access, General, and Trunk modes, follow this link.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/p/19445142/20089157.aspx#20089157
    It is always a good idea to have the user and CLI guide for your switch, to reference any possible changes in command syntax.

    Layer 2
    Layer 2 switches operate at the data link layer of the OSI model. Layer 2 is responsible for error checking and transmitting data across the physical media. MAC addressing sources and destination protocols are layer 2 protocols. Layer 2 switches use the MAC address of data packets to determine where those packets should go. It learns the MAC addresses of all devices and creates a segment/forwarding table.
    When a switch receives a frame with a destination address that isn't in its forwarding table, the switch forwards the frame to all other ports. If the destination machine responds to the server, the switch will listen to the reply and learn which port the destination machine is attached to. It then adds that MAC address to the forwarding table.
    The Dell PowerConnect Layer 2 switches have ports that all operate in VLAN 1 by default. If it is acceptable to have all traffic on the same broadcast domain, then you can simply leave the default alone, connect the two switches and traffic will flow.
     If you do not want all traffic on the same broadcast domain, then we need to look at adding additional broadcast domains through the use of VLANs.
     We will use 3 VLANs for the following scenario.
    VLAN 1=Management
    VLAN 2=Client
    VLAN 3=Server
    To create these VLANs we do the following commands (VLAN 1 is already created by default)
    console(config)# vlan database
    console(config-vlan)# VLAN 2
    console(config-vlan)# VLAN 3
    console(config-vlan)# exit
    We can then name the VLANs to help keep things organized.
    console(config)# interface vlan 2
    console(config-vlan)# name Client
    console(config-vlan)# exit
    console(config)# interface vlan 3
    console(config-vlan)# name Server
    console(config-vlan)# exit
    Once we have the VLANs created we can place a device in that VLAN by placing the port it plugs into, in access mode for the specific VLAN.
    So we have a workstation on port e2 we want to be placed in VLAN 2, we would issue the following commands.
    console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e2
    console(config-if)# switchport mode access
    console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
    console(config-if)# exit
    The next port plugs into a server on port e3 we want on VLAN 3, we would issue these commands.
    console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e3
    console(config-if)# switchport mode access
    console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 3
    console(config-if)# exit
    For the ports connecting the two switches together, we place the ports in trunk mode and specify the native VLAN and allowed VLANs.
    For the port e1 that connect the two switches to each other would be configured like this.
    console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
    console(config-if)# switchport mode general
    console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 2,3 tagged
    console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 1
    console(config-if)# exit
    Once these VLANs and port settings are made on both switches. A server connected to switch A on VLAN 3 should be able to communicate with another Server connected to switch B that is also in VLAN 3.  Without the use of a router the devices in VLAN 3 will not be able to communicate with devices that are outside of their broadcast domain (i.e. VLAN 2 devices could not reach VLAN 3 devices)
    Layer 3 + Layer 2
     Until recently, routers were the only devices capable of layer 3 protocols. Switches capable of routing are now available and in widespread use. In most cases we will connect our layer 2 switches to a Layer 3 capable switch to perform our routing for us.
     On the layer 3 switches we will use the same VLANs and setup that we did with the layer 2 switches.  Then we will add to the configuration.
     We can assign an IP address to each switch with the following command.
    Switch A
    console(config)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
    Switch B
    console(config)#ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0
    Then we will enable routing only on Switch A
    console(config)# ip routing
    Switch A we assign an IP address to VLAN 2 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
    console(config)# interface vlan 2
    console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
    console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.0
    console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
    Switch A we assign an IP address to VLAN 3 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
    console(config)# interface vlan 3
    console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
    console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.30.1 255.255.255.0
    console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
    On both switch A and switch B we will keep things simple and use interface 1/e1 for the connection between each switch. Setting both switches 1/e1 to general mode, allowing the additional VLAN 2,3, and keeping the PVID of 1.
    console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
    console(config-if)# switchport mode general
    console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 2,3 tagged
    console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 1
    console(config-if)# exit
    We will have one client computer connect to switch A on port 1/e2 and one client connect to switch B on port 1/e2. These ports will be in access mode for VLAN 2, and the config should look like this on both switches.
    console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e2
    console(config-if)# switchport mode access
    console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
    console(config-if)# exit
    We will have another client computer connect to switch A on port 1/e3 and one client connect to switch B on port 1/e3. These ports will be in access mode for VLAN 3, and the config should look like this on both switches.
    console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e3
    console(config-if)# switchport mode access
    console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 3
    console(config-if)# exit
    On Clients connected to Switch A we will assign an IP address and gateway based on the VLAN they are in access mode for.
    Client connected to access port for VLAN 2.
    IP Address:172.16.20.11
    Default Gateway:172.16.20.1
    Client connected to access port for VLAN 3.
    IP Address:172.16.30.11
    Default Gateway:172.16.30.1
    On Clients connected to Switch B we will assign an IP address and gateway based on the VLAN they are in access mode for.
    Client connected to access port for VLAN 2.
    IP Address:172.16.20.12
    Default Gateway:172.16.20.1
    Client connected to access port for VLAN 3.
    IP Address:172.16.30.12
    Default Gateway:172.16.30.1
    External Connection
    At some point we may want traffic to have an external connection. To do this we can create a new VLAN for our point to point connection from Switch A to our router. We will use VLAN 7 for this and assign an IP address.
    console(config)# vlan database
    console(config-vlan)# VLAN 7
    console(config-vlan)# exit
    console(config)# interface vlan 7
    console(config-vlan)# name WAN
    console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
    console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
    console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
    On our router we will assign an IP address of 10.10.10.1
    Then place the port connecting the switch and router into access mode for VLAN 7.  In this case we use port e4.
     console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e4
    console(config-if)# switchport mode access
    console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 7
    console(config-if)# exit
    We will then need to put in a default route with the next hop as the router IP address.  This allows the switch to know where to route traffic not destined for VLANs 2, 3, or 7.
    console(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1
    Next on the router we’ll need to add a route back so the router knows about the networks attached to switch A.  Generally adding a static route on most routers is done with the following command: 
    ip route {Network} {Wildcard Mask} {Next Hop-IP}
    In our case here are the 2 static routes we could use.
    Ip route 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.255 10.10.10.2
    Ip route 172.16.30.0 0.0.0.255 10.10.10.2
    The routing that we enabled on Switch A will enable traffic from the other VLANs to traverse over port 1/e4 to the router, connecting us to external traffic. The routes we added to the router allow the traffic to flow back to the switch over port 1/e4.
    Layer 3 + Layer 3
    In some situations we have two switches, each setup to route for its own broadcast domain, which we want to connect together. In this situation we no longer have a need to use Trunk or General mode between the switches. Instead we can create a common VLAN that will be used for the connection between the two switches.
    To create this VLAN we will run the following commands on both switch A and B
    console(config)# vlan database
    console(config-vlan)# vlan 6
    console(config-vlan)# exit
    console(config)# interface vlan 6
    console(config-vlan)# name Connection
    console(config-vlan)# exit
    On switch A we assign an IP address to VLAN 6 and enable routing on the VLAN.
    console(config)# interface vlan 6
    console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
    console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.60.1 255.255.255.0
    console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
    On switch B we assign an IP address to VLAN 6 and enable routing on the VLAN.
    console(config)# interface vlan 6
    console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
    console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.60.2 255.255.255.0
    console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
    On both switch A and B we place the connecting ports into Access mode for VLAN 6.
    console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
    console(config-if)# switchport mode access
    console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 6
    console(config-if)# exit
    We then need to make some changes to switch B now that it is layer 3 and not layer 2 and has its own broadcast domain.
    We will enable routing on Switch B
    console(config)# ip routing
    What used to be VLAN 2 and 3 will now be VLAN 4 and 5 for our separate broadcast domains.
    Switch B we assign an IP address to VLAN 4 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
    console(config)# interface vlan 4
    console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
    console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.40.1 255.255.255.0
    console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
    Switch B we assign an IP address to VLAN 5 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
    console(config)# interface vlan 5
    console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
    console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.50.1 255.255.255.0
    console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
    On Clients connected to Switch B we will assign an IP address and gateway based on the VLAN they are in access mode for.
    Client connected to access port for VLAN 4.
    IP Address:172.16.40.11
    Default Gateway:172.16.40.1
    Client connected to access port for VLAN 5.
    IP Address:172.16.50.11
    Default Gateway:172.16.50.1
    The end result should look like this.
     Troubleshooting
    If we are having issues with connectivity, we may need to place some static routes in place to help traffic to the next hop in the network.
    On switch A we configure a static route to help traffic to the next hop in the network, which is the router.
    console(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1
    The external router will also need a path defined back to all networks/VLANs.
    To check the status of a port we can use the command. Show interfaces detail, this will help us see the port status. For example to check the status of port 48, we would run this command.
    console# show interfaces detail ethernet 1/g48
     To check routing paths:
    console# show ip route
    The IP address of the network for each VLAN should be listed as C – Connected. Then also a path or default route to your upstream router.
    We can use basic ping commands from a client to help test where connectivity is dropping off at. By doing this we can narrow down where in the network to start troubleshooting.
    -Ping from client to default gateway, being the VLAN the client is in access mode for. If this fails then we may need to double check our client settings making sure the proper IP and gateway are being used.
    -Ping from client to the ip address of the switch the client plugs into. If this fails we may not have VLAN routing enabled on the VLAN the client is in.
    -Ping from client to another client on same VLAN, same switch. If this fails we need to check on client settings, IP address and gateway.
    -ping from client to another client on different VLAN, same switch. If this fails we need to double check the VLAN routing commands are in place.
    -ping from client to the ip address of the next switch in the network. If this fails then check Trunk port configuration from switch to switch, ensuring the VLAN is added to the Trunk port.
    -ping from client to another client on same VLAN, different switch. If this fails, check Trunk port settings.
    -ping from client to another client on different VLAN, different switch. If this fails then check trunk settings and VLAN routing configuration.

    Derek,
    I tried to draw my prefered setup for this network configuration.
    I would create a Team with the two 1 GBit NICs and use it for Domain, DNS, Backup and any SystemCenter Agents.
    I would also Team the two 10 GBit NICs and than assign it to a Hyper-V Switch for the VMs. In Windows Server 2012 it is posible to create vNICs for the Management OS that use this Hyper-V Switch (Converged Network Design). I would create two vNICs SMB1
    and SMB2 to use them for Cluster and Livemigration traffic with SMB Multichannel. If your storage system supports SMB Multichannel you can also use both as storage NICs (but this depends wich vendor you have).
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I connect two switches to a server?

    We share an office with another company but we currently have separate servers and networks.
    I'm looking into the possibility of us sharing their server.
    The thing is we both have our own switches and and I want to avoid any rewiring of the network. Will I be able to use two switches?
    It's a 2x 2.8 GHz quad core intel xeon (with dual ethernet). So is it just a matter of connecting both switches to the server and configuring them in some way?

    Hi Christiaan,
    I end up doing this quite often. You have a few options, the simplest is below...
    How many users and devices that require network connections does each company have? If it's under 254 which it sounds like it is and your happy to have the users on the same network, sharing the same ISP. Then the easiest option is going to be your company sharing their network. You'd save a bit of money on your internet connection which could be used to increase the bandwidth on the other companies line if needed.
    You would do following. Make sure all devices that need a fixed IP address such as printers/mfds'/switches/WiFI/phone system (if applicable) are changed to a fixed IP address with the relevant subnet mask, dns and gateway from the other companies network. You'd obviously need to get the relevant numbers from their IT guy.
    Then you could use your switch as extra capacity on their network by linking it with their switch. Obviously you'd want to use the fastest possible connection between the switches or look to buying something new with more ports. If you both have something like the HP 1810G ProCurve or a compatible switch you can buy two fibre transceivers and connect them with a fibre cable, this will free up more ports for users on the switch or simply connect them via an ethernet cable. On the 1800 series you can use LACP which allows you to use up to 4 ethernet ports to improve the bandwidth thus giving you a 4gigabit connection to their network. Depending on how much traffic there is going to be you might want to skip that as there might be no need.
    Then it's just a case of creating your users on their server and creating an area for your company that only you have the access rights to and creating a shared area inter-company area if you want to easily ping them over files.
    What do you both use for email? Are you going to look to share a server for it?
    Hope that helps

  • How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

    How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
    I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
    Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • FF connects to several IP addresses on start-up, how to prevent it from happening?

    Hi, I am wondering how I can turn Firefox off from connecting to several IP addresses when it starts up?
    I have set Firefox to remember my visited web pages/tabs, but to not load until the tab is chosen.
    I have also gone through the advices on the following page:
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-automatically-making-connections
    and have followed it carefully and disabled everything but to no avail.
    Also in the about:config I have renamed all Google http(s) links to see if it prevents FF from connecting as some of the IP addresses leads to Google (173.194.32.*), but no success.
    A search here on Mozilla or Google gives very little on this particular matter.
    I have also disabled all addons but doesn't help.
    The only way to prevent FF from connecting with internet is to delete "prefs.js" and "sessionstore.js", but then I loose all history.
    I have also used a clean FF installation and taken the "prefs.js" and "sessionstore.js" so to not loose history, but it doesn't help.
    Can anyone help me out, thanks!

    Ok, I have now installed an original version of Firefox 13.0.1, set it up with a basic set of few add-ons for safe browsing being as follow:
    * NoScript
    * RequestPolicy
    * BetterPrivacy
    * HTTPS Everywhere
    In all cases described below, I browsed to a few pages, afterwards I go to an empty page/tab (about:newtab) before I close the browser, and is set to: "browser.newtabpage.enabled;false" in the hope also a newtab should be empty.
    I also followed the instructions under the following link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-automatically-making-connections
    * further on I have disabled a few other things under about:config to stop this "leak", such as webGL, telemetry, rename all google links, etc.
    1st test
    * I did restart in Off-line mode as described under the link given by jscher2000, when restarting the firewall shows no sign of connection to the internet, not even when I toggle from off-line to on-line.
    2nd test
    * with all add-ons enabled, I got the following result, see below for the list of IP numbers/info:
    * 212.121.101.7 Server Location: Netherlands ISP: Routit BV
    * 173.194.32.0 Server Location: Mountain View, CA in United States ISP: Google
    * 173.194.32.4 Server Location: Mountain View, CA in United States ISP: Google
    * 95.100.4.61 Server Location: Europe ISP: Akamai International B.V.
    * 192.150.19.49 Server Location: San Jose, CA in United States ISP: Adobe Systems
    * 78.129.207.59 Server Location: United Kingdom ISP: Iomart Hosting Limited
    * 69.50.232.54 Server Location: San Jose, CA in United States ISP: Silicon Valley Web Hosting
    * 82.103.140.42 Server Location: Denmark ISP: EasySpeedy ApS
    3rd test
    * I disabled all add-ons and closed browser, and started again, same result as in 2nd test, except that 212.121.101.7 was replaced by
    * 37.0.87.7 Server Location: Netherlands ISP: Routit BV .
    As this behavior has apparently nothing to do whether it's portable or non-portable version of Firefox, one can assume it has always been like this as at least between all versions from 13.0.1 to 19.0.2, as the portable version 19.0.2 behaves the same way.
    Let us not forget another user have experienced apparently the same issue under the following link: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930187
    Any more ideas how the browser user can take control over this behavior, or any suggestions what could be wrong?

  • Error message when trying to connect to an FTP address

    I am trying to connect to an FTP address. When I use Finder > Go> Connect to server... and type in the FTP address I want and click on "connect", I get an error message:
    The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found (Error code -43)
    What could this mean? I automatically get all updates.
    Thanks everyone, Mike Storer, Los Angeles.

    This article may help explain the Error -43
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107032
    Even though the article is about connecting to an SMB share, most of it can still hold true when connecting via FTP.
    If you haven't yet, you may want to try using a 3rd party FTP application, such as CyberDuck http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14426

  • Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch. Failed to connect Ethernet switch port

    Hello Folks
    I am completely stuck with the configuration of my virtual networks. I have one logical switch left to add to one of my Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts when I started getting the error below when I try to add logical switches to either Hyper-V Host. I have been using
    the document. 'Hybrid Cloud with NVGRE (Cloud OS)' to implement the virtual networking. Basically using the exact configuration that is in the document. I have added the PA Logical Network and the Network adapters and added the logical switch for it to my
    hyper-v 2012 R2 host and everything was fine. I am now trying to add my ISCSI Logical Switch to the host and this is the error I get. My other Hyper-V host I get this error for any logical switch I am trying to add. Can someone help me with this error. I haven't
    been able to find any information about it.
    Also a some quick info on tracing an error like this so I can figure out what is causing it.
    Thsi is my configuration so far
    So as far as I know everything is peachy untill the error below. Dead stop now

    notice your GUID?  you may want to consider ensuring that is the same GUID associated in your database.  Sometimes during data corruption theres a smidge of a chance your sql database kind of either pulls old guids esp if this was reverted to snapshot
    without it being powered off etc.  
    I would try that first.  then i would consider if you get to configure that with your current liscense associated with the host.  I would need way more info to help any further

  • How to connect SGE2010 switches

    I have purchased a SGE2010 and a SGE2000P switches.  I wish to connect these two switches together.  Do I need to buy a MGBT1 mini-GBIC and connect them that way, or can I just use a switch port on each switch and connect them that way? 
    Is the MGBT1 really just a module to connect non-gigabit switches via a gigabit trunk with Cat5?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There were no modules mentioned to connect the switches together, with what I have read from the Cisco or Linksys help page.  However, you may want to check out the link I have provided below.  It's an article from the Cisco website which discusses stacking SFE and SGE switches.  Not as simple as we may think though.

  • Connecting a Switch to the E4200

    Have a Linksys E4200 router located in my basement and I am experiencing a puzzling wired connectivity issue as follows: 
    Port 1 on the router is for my study, I have no problem getting connection regardless  if I use my study's Ethernet jack or if I run a 5 ft. cable (hereinafter THE CABLE) from the router’s  port 1 to my laptop (i.e., cabling does not make a difference).
    I then connect to router port 1 an EZXS55W Linksys switch (using port 1 on the switch and THE CABLE) and then connect my laptop to port 2 on the switch using a second cable.  I am unable to connect to the network/internet even after rebooting both the cable modem and router.
    I then reconnect my study to port 1 on the router, I go to my study and connect the study’s Ethernet  jack using THE CABLE to port 1 on the switch and using a second cable from port 2 on the switch to my laptop. …. I get an network/internet connection immediately !
    Can someone assist with this puzzle ?  Has anyone seen this before ?  FYI, I have had the exact problem with switches EZXS88W and SE2500 (no longer own this).
    Thanks,
    Zach
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry but the description of the problem is quite vague and a bit confusing.
    To get the switch working properly make sure the router is connected to the uplink port of the switch. Take note: When Uplink port is used, the port adjacent to it becomes inactive (port5) because they are shared. Switches are really pass-through devices so nothing is to be configured.
    "Also be aware that on the outside of the box for the EZXS88W switch, there is a picture showing a "Broadband Router" connected to port #1 of the switch.  The Uplink is shown as being connected to another switch."  The picture shown outside the box refers to how you could connect the switch to other networking devices; router, switch or a hub to expand your network.

  • Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

    Hi,
    I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

    Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
    the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
    in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
    will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
    How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
    get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.
