Connecting switches together

hi,
What is the best way to connect switch together (with 2960 switch)..cross or stright cable...up/down or normal port ?
WAN ----Router 1 --- -SW1 ---- SW2
                                  |
                                  |
                                 SW3----SW4----SW5 (no vlan)---PC1
all switch has up,down and normal port except SW5
Does SW5 will support vlan if it is connect to a layer 2 switch (let s say sw5 is connected to port 5 of SW4 (and port 5 is VLAN 20 access mode...then trunk between SW3 and SW1))...is there any inheritance ?
Hope, this time, this post will be post on the forum.
Thanks for help,

Hi Loic the wire between switch 4 and 5 shouldn't make a difference in terms of rj45 so long as it is auto set (which by default it is). If you want switch 5 to be vlan 20, configure vlan 20 there and the port on switch 4 must also have vlan 20. So long as either switch is tag or untag, but both configuration matching it will work fine.

Help to connect 2 switches together

Hi
I need your help to can i make 2 switches 2950 and 2960 connecting it together through trunk port,so in my question is what the command that should be on the trunk port???
I wrote the below command but it's not acceptable:
Switch(condig-if)#switchport trunk encapsolation isl

abakrbshat wrote:Hi,thanks for your responseI did that right now but still the pc unable on the ping to other pc in other switch
Do the interfaces on the switches come up when connected? What do you get when you input "show interface X/Y" on each switch?
Are the source and destination PC in the same VLAN (1 by default, something else if it's been changed), and have IP addresses in the same subnet?
And, lastly - are they Windows boxes? If so, do you have the firewall turned OFF? Recent Windows boxes seem to block PING by default unless you tell them otherwise.

Linking two switches together.

hi Guys ,
quick question in relation to joining two switches together,
can I link a 2950 switch with a 1000 BASE-SX with a 3560G with 4 SPF ports with fibre and what pitfalls should i look out for .
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Hello,
So you would like to connect GBIC to SFP, you need Multimode Duplex Fiber Optical cable with SC-LC connectors. If SFP to SFP you need the same cably type with LC-LC connectors.

Wireless Radio Connection - switches off

My Wireless Radio Connection switches off after about 2-3 minutes. Is there a setting I can adjust to lengthen this amount of time? When it shuts off, all I have to do is FN5 to reconnect but I shouldn't have to do that every 3 minutes. I have a T60. Thank you.

Assuming your're using a version of Windows, use the Device Manager and configure the Advanced Properties
DISABLE /UNCHECK "ALLOW WINDOWS TO TURN OFF DEVICE TO CONSERVE POWER"
Next, ensure all the PowerManager settings are set to a a Max Performance / Vid Presentation Profile but this doesn't necessarily ensure the WiFi NIC could be turned off if you or someone else has tuned the power profiles to disable NIC's after whatever period of time
It doesn't hurt to verify within the BIOS PCI PowerMgmt IS ENABLED and the Smart CPU settings are activated.
If the issue is still occurring then load an alnternate Operating system, Knoppix or SLAX Live BOOT CD's enable the loading and execution of a featured LINUX kernel with driver support for most Thinkpads since it seems te developers of the LIVE CD's use thinkpads themselves or MAC's, it is likely the latest Knoppix distro is compatible with your NIC and observe whether or not the issue still occurs / if so then you can most likely attribute it to an odd hardware issue and you should begin researching whether or not a BIOS upgrade or even Downgrade is a solution.
Before flashing, it is worth taking note of the fact the intermittent power issues seem to be related to your Windows build and you should install a parallel installation of any compatible Windows version then install the barebones necessary drivers to determine if the power issues still occur on a freshly minted version of Windows.
Also, determine whether or not your actual WiFi NIC is flashable, modern network adapaters have increased in complexity especially as a necessity of WOL and the Intel SLM features that more corporate purchasers demand thus NIC's have increased in complexity becoming more like mini VX systems with flashable firmware which may have merit as a solution if you isolate it to your hardware.

Stream Connection switching

i made video gallery with "Live" button
problem is connection switching
when click on live button i want this code in my script
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(this);
nc.connect("rtmpt://localhost/live");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.setBufferTime(defaultBuffer);
video_holder.videoClip.attachVideo(ns);
video_holder.attachAudio(ns);
video_holder.videoClip.smoothing = true;
ns.play('livestream');
and on any click thumbnail i want this code.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(this);
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.setBufferTime(defaultBuffer);
video_holder.videoClip.attachVideo(ns);
video_holder.attachAudio(ns);
video_holder.videoClip.smoothing = true;
ns.play(toLoad); //toLoad get the flv file
so please tell me any if else condition or any other condition for connection switching.
you also see in attach txt file
from Line 122 to 142 is the required code

Thankyou shmoove. The code is here.
The server is setup to send information every 3 seconds to the client (upon client request,, which is working fine). For your reference,, the same code works perfectly fine with a Series 60 (midp2.0) phone, and so does the server. except that i use a SocketConnection for the midp 2.0 phone. For the very reason that midp 1.0 does not support the SocketConnection, i have to use a StreamConnection instead. the dataInputSream is bound with the StreamConnection object.
I think the StreamConnection is somehow not persistant ,, in the sense the connection is not maintained.
Please tell me whats wrong,
Thankyou,
Balaji.

Connect two SRW 2024 switches together

I have been doing some research on this and I am getting mixed results. I have 5 VLANS setup, not including the native VLAN 1. VLAN1 has port 1 as untaggged and set to trunk. The rest excluded. VLAN 100 has port 1 set to trunk and tagged, and 9-12 untagged. VLAN 200 has port 1 trunk and tagged and 2-6 untagged. VLAN500 port 1 tagged/trunk, and ports 14-20 untagged. VLAN 600 has port one as trunk but excluded and 21-24 as untagged. VLAN 700 has port 1 as tagged and 7 and 8 as untagged. All I did was buy an exact duplicate of the switch, another srw2024 and I want to connect it to this existing switch. Could someone tell me how I can do this two ways: one way to expand the VLAN's to the second switch and one with just adding the second switch and be able to create new VLAN's? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks =)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes; however, the number of VLAN port members doesn’t necessarily be the same. You may have more LAN ports on the other switch that will be a member of a certain VLAN ID. The most important configuration is the membership of the “trunk” port to the VLANs you want to pass through to the other switch.

Need Help Connecting (2) 2950 switches together, cant see each other

Can anyone please help me get my switches talking? I am currently in training for entry level certs and can't continue until i get these talking.
I have two 2950 switches connected via port 0/1 on both switches. (tried both crossover and regular cat5 connections)
I have both ports active and both VLAN 1s active and both ports set to switchport mode trunk
There is no port security enabled. Both switches have IP's assigned in the respective default VLAN 1.
IP address 10.1.10.10 for switch 1
IP address 10.1.10.11 for switch 2
VTP is set to server on both, ( I tried transparent on both as well )
I cant get these switches to ping each other and or access telnet from each other. If i connect an outside connection i can telnet individually to each but they wont see each other through ping or CDP Neighbors.
Any ideas?? Please help as i am trying to get my CCENT in a few weeks!
THANK YOU!

HP LP2065- Need to connect 2 together for extended view

Hi,
I'd like to connect 2 HP LP2065 monitors together for extended viewing. ( Dragging files from one screen to another, not mirroring ). Can this be done without a Dual Monitor KVM switch? Thanks for any feedback or help in advance.
Note:
I currently run 1 HP LP2065 monitor with 2-3 laptops using a 4 port single monitor KVM switch. This set up works fine for one monitor. Online forums suggest getting a Dual Monitor KVM switch to run 2 monitors. But those switches cost $225 plus. And I can score another used HP LP2065 for less than $75

My first thought would be to add the Radeon 2600, it does work in 2007 models running Leopard. And the cost is acceptable.
As long as the X1900 is fine, no need to swap out for the newer 3870 just yet.

Is wrt120n wireless router compatable with befsr41 ver 2 router to connect them together?

i cant get it to work with my other router and i need to because i have 5 things to connect to the internet and network.
Thanks

Connect two routers together here. Or go buy a $20 4 port switch and just plug it in.

Connecting Switch to Router

Greetings,
I have a 3750 switch that has several VLANs defined on it. I also have an 1841 router that has the same VLANs defined (they are numbered the same).
At the moment they are connected and I am able to browse from a host connected to the default VLAN. I would like to connect the switch to the router and test the VLAN functionality.
Where do I start? On the switch or on the router
When I tried to complete the LAN wizard on the router and assign the default VLAN to the routers Fa0/0/0 port, it caused the switch Gi port to err-disable due to bpduguard.
TIA
Charlie

Yes I am connecting the switch and the router via Gi1/0/1 on the switch and Fa0/0/0 on the router. The Fa0/0/0 is one of 4 ports on the router switchcard HWIC.
Is there a configuration document for this type of setup?
Also, the switch did shut down the port with a reason of BDPU... so it seems likely that the switch shut down the port because the router was sending bpdu's. What is the risk in shutting down bpduguard? Do I need to shut it down on the router switchcard as well as on the switch?

Crossover cable needed to connect Switch to Airport?

I need more ports. I got more stuff to hook up than available ports on the Airport.
I picked up a switch but couldn't find anything in the boards on whether a crossover or straight-through cable is required to connect the two. I suspect the Airport port is auto-sensing but figured someone here would know.
Thanks.

Great, thanks Bob,
So it is just a matter of physical wiring then.
Still waiting for a transfer and restore from the TC to my reformatted iMac, then I'll be starting wiring.
The migration back from the Time Capsule over GigaBit to the iMac seems to take 5-6 hours, would that be normal (some 460 GB of data)?
The TC is the latest version with GB, Cat6 cables, plugged into the iMac on the Marvell Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8055 Singleport Copper SA....
Thanks...

How to configure port to connect switch SG300 to 3com switch

Hello,
I need help. I have my network with severals SG300 switches.
I have one of them like my core switch working in layer 3 mode. With 2 vlans and vlan interfaces to each vlan.
Everything is working ok.
But now i have to connect one 3com unmanage switch that have host from vlan 1 and 2. How should i connect this switch to my Cisco sg300 switch? What mode should i use in that port?
thanks a lot.

Use MAC-based VLANs on SG300 L2 switch, register all clients in needed VLANs (or better setup SG300 L2 port to 3com in PVID VLAN with maximum clients and others in MAC-based VLANs).

Droid Charge 3g 4g connection switching issues

Hi,
SHORT VERSION: coud not connect to 3g and only could connect to 4g if I rebooted the phone. The trouble ticket escalated to the Verizion network team and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Also, have sporadic loud screech noises when I make/recieve calls.
LONG EXPLANATION:
I was having serious issues with my Charge starting on Saturday (12Nov11) through Sunday (13Nov11). On Saturday I noticed that the Charge seemed like it wasn't getting any data reception. I live in East Lansing and drove to Kalamazoo and was able to use 4g in Kzoo. When I went into an apartment it the 4g dropped and the phone didn't revert back to 3g. I thought it was weird and guessed that the building was the culprit. On the drive home I could not get 3g or 4g.
On Sunday (13Nov11) I took my phone into the local Verizon Wireless store. The associate there couldn't help me and thought there may have been a network issue. He said that he was having issues with his 4g as well. I asked him why my phone couldn't connect to 3g, but he didn't know the answer. I remember earlier when Verizon had a 4g issue, it was on a Sunday, and I couldn't connect to 3g either. My wife has an iPhone 4 and she could get 3g both on Saturday and Sunday. I went into my apartment, where I knew i could get 3g, and couldn't get 3g. I walked outside to an area, where I knew I could get 4g, and couldn't get 4g.
So I called Verizon support, and the rep had me try changing the network setting to CDMA and then to LTE automatic, which didn't work. He had me take out my phone battery (I was in a Meijer parking lot where I knew I could get a 4g signal) and was able to connect to 4g. I asked him why I CDMA wasn't working for me and gave me this long answer about how it takes longer for the phone to connect to cdma. After the call had ended I went back to my apartment and my data services stopped. I didn't get 3g in the apartment and when I walked outside to get 4g I could not.
I called Verizon support back telling them my phone was having issues switching from 3g to 4g. A different technician had me confirm that the phone couldn't connect to 3g and only could connect to 4g if I turned the phone off and turned it back on again. He had me reset my phone back to factory settings, which did not help. He then said he would open a ticket with the Verizon Network team, which could take them up to 72 hours. He talked about network provisioning as a suspect.
On Sunday (13Nov11) night my phone started switching from 3g/4g and 4g/3g so I thought the network team was solving the issue. On Wednesday (16Nov11) the network team left me a voicemail saying that my issue was due to being in a poor 4g service area. They said that i could call back at 800 9xx 0204 option 3. The xx are there because, conveniently, the phone cut out for those numbers. I listened to the message 5 times trying to hear those dang numbers.
Anyway even though my problem went away I don't feel anything was resolved. I would like to call the network team to see if they did anything to my phone's network provisioning, whatever that means. If not I think it is my phone and want to get it fixed so it doesn't happen again.
Anyone else have a horror story like this?

I have been having the same issue for the past 2 weeks. When I am at home, my phone searches and searches for 3g because 4g isn't availble in the small town I live in. I have started switching to my wifi when I'm at home to preserve my battery. If I don't switch to wifi, my battery drains fast. When I'm at work, it's 4g but have noticed today that it's not getting the 4g. I am so frustrated with Verizon and my droid right now that I am ready to quit Verizon after being a customer with them the past 9 years. I too got no answers when I called customer support. Was told that they are having issues with 4g and to give it 24-48 hours. Well, it's been 2 weeks Verizon!
