Connecting through a switch?

I have a WRT54G V8 router which I want to move downstairs for better reception. I want to connect it through my EZXS55W V4.2 switch but I can't seem to get it working. Do I have to change the router settings or is this not even possible?

You can't have the switch before the router because it wouldn't give out the DHCP issued IP address that way. The guy above indicated the correct way to do it.

Do mutiple 6120 cross-connect (heartbeat) work through a switch?

We have two 6120s connected to two UCS 5108s in two separate rooms in our building. We have just completed a 2nd formal server room and will be moving one of the 6120/5108 pairs into that room. Currently, the 6120's are cross connected (1Gig copper) to each other and all of the 10Gig connections are appropriately connected.
The issue is that the two server rooms are more than 100m apart so there is no copper connections between the rooms. We have switches in each room connected via 10Gig fiber.
Our VAR who installed originally this sent an e-mail that these 1Gig copper cross connects must not pass through a switch. He has left to get married and is gone for a few weeks.
We are not moving this until November, but I'm not willing to wait a couple of weeks until the engineer returns to get the answer to this question. I have looked on CCO and other than identifying the 1Gig ports as "cross-connect" or "cluster", I can't find anything out.
I would think that they would work through a switch, perhaps in their own non-routed VLAN or something.
Will this work? Is there a design guide on CCO that shows it?
Thanks!

What you are asking for is an enhancement which I fully agree with.
Latency is not the issue here. It is how the software which manages the L1-L2 links on the FI's.
They are bonded internally. Not expecting any other traffic (CDP, BPDU or anything else when you connect to a switch for example amongst other things). You connect a switch in between and bonding breaks. You could now potentially think of 1 link to get around bonding or turn channel-group explicitly on the switch etc..
But the fact of the matter is that it has neither been tested/blessed nor advertised as a possible workaround.
So currently it won't work and *if* it does, you are in unchartered territory where support if something breaks is going to be an issue.
If you look at the User Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/b_GUI_Config_Guide.html
Page 63 and 65 have references to it -
The L1 ports on both fabric interconnects are directly connected to each other.
The L2 ports on both fabric interconnects are directly connected to each other.
To use the cluster configuration,the two fabric interconnects must be directly connected together using Ethernet cables between the L1 (L1-to-L1) and L2 (L2-to-L2) high availability ports,with no other fabric interconnects in between.
Note: I would have written "with no other *switches* in between" rather than fabric interconnect above but then thats me.
The 10 Gig links cannot be used for heartbeat either. All mgmt is the 4 1 gig ports that you see on the FI's. 10gig's are data.

Cannot connect network drives through network switch

macmini cannot see network drives connected to airport extreme. Network drives are connected through dlink 48 port 1 gig switch.How can
I edit airport extreme to see these drives?

The switch will be unlikely to have anything to do with the problem.. but bypass it and see.. plug a laptop or something directly into the extreme.. do the disks now show up?? If not the Extreme setup is wrong.. if they do and you can transfer files.. something is odd with the switch and you will need to work with dlink to figure if it is blocking some protocol.. Tell us how this test works out.. you can force the mac to use SMB by manually mounting the drive.. No switch is going to block SMB.
Do the external drives show up on the extreme in the airport utility?
Have you turned on file sharing?
Make sure in finder preferences you have enabled network drives.
No go, are the drives formatted correctly.. they must be HFS+ or FAT32 format..
I used to say GUID partitioned but not sure now..

Connecting USB6343 onboard 5v to AI 4 5 6 7 through 4 switches and AI GND results in floating signals and noise

Hey,
I am connecting USB6343's onboard 5v source to AI 4 5 6 7 through 4 switches (and AI GND). This results in floating signals and sinusoidal noise when i close the switches and not the expected 0v / 5v.
I merely want to report on or off for each switch connected to the AI terminals, what very obvious step am I missing?

I'd like to ask further questions, but being new to the forum, I'm not fully familiar with the customs, so please tell me if I should open a new topic or if it's okay, to bundle questions (if related).
The question are: how to extend the described wiring to multiple switches (I need 10)? I attached my assumption as "Wiring 1.png".
And I guess "Wiring 2" wouldn't work as it'd be how the topic-opener artaxerxes did it?

We traded our home internet service for a Sprint Hot Spot. The hot spot does not have an ethernet port to connect through. Can we connect our time capsule to the wireless hot spot?

Hello, we switched our home internet service from an ethernet modem to a wireless hot spot.
Do you know if there is a way to connect our time capsule to the hot spot?
Everything I read only suggests connecting through an ethernet cable. I'm hoping there is a way to do this.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!!

No you can't join a wireless hotspot with a Time Capsule directly via it's 'join' option (tried and failed - well to be exact it kinda works but the Time Capsule's ethernet ports no longer work).
What you can do is buy an airport express and use it's 'join' option to connect to the iPhone's hotspot. Then you connect the airport express via ethernet to the time capsule (in bridge-mode).
You can then connect your computers to the time capsule via ethernet or use it's wireless function to set up wireless network (with a different name to that of the hotspot) that your wifi stuff can connect to.

Trying to connect through Netgear

I am trying to connect via Netgear router. My Airport says connected but when I try to connect to internet it won't pull anything. Any suggestions?

I, too tried to connect through Netgear. I got the connection up and running, but the Netgear kept shutting on and off. I finally read the reviews of the new Netgear products and wound up returning it to Fryes. While I was there, I met a Fryes customer- a big corporate IP guy, and he said that a lot of companies are pushing the Netgear line, (they get big incentives) but many companies and individuals that he works with have had nothing but problems on their PCs as well as MACS. He suggested that I switch to the highest end Lynksys, (I used to have an old one). I bought the new Lynksys, installed it in about 15 minutes, and have never had even one problem with it! By the way, he was there to return a Netgear for a client as well! Good Luck, and I hope you solve your problem!

External HD connected through network cable

Ok, I am a brand new mac user and am extremely confused. I have an external HD that connects through a cat5 cable. There is a plug in the drive for usb, but its the same jack as the computer so I guess I cannot connect it that way. It's a couple years old so I think things have changed a bit.
Anyway, when I plug it in I can't seem to find the drive anywhere. is it supposed to appear in finder or what about disk utility? It just doesn't seem to exist and I am looking for something like windows explorer to find it. When I plug it into my pc I can see it, but not my mac. I can't really reformat the drive either because I can't see it on my mac. Am I doing something wrong, or will the cat5 cable just not work?
Thanks

Only 2 Clients Connect Through AP 1252

Hi,
I am configuring a 1252 in autonomous mode and that's the only AP in the network.
A very strange behavior is observed.
Although many clients can associate to this AP with no problem, only the first two associated devices can connect through this AP and access devices on the wired network. For 3rd associated device and above, they can only connect to and ping to AP but nothing beyond AP. In Windows the wireless icon would display "limited access" with an exclamation mark.
DHCP works fine though for all devices, and they can acquire the IP from DHCP server on a different segment.
I don't have too much experience with wireless so I am totally lost with no direction.
Please help and thank you very much.
configuration attached.

Problem solved. It has nothing to do with AP. The AP is connected to a ESW 540-8 port SW. This is SOHO SW is blocking the traffic. As soon as I moved AP to main switch, everything went smoothly.

Port isolation between two SRW swiches connected through fiber?

Hi guys,
i have one SRW2024P connected through fiber to SRW2048. I would like to create isolated link between these two switches consisting of at least one isolated port at each switch. Can this SRWs do this?
Alternatively i need on the SRW2048 side few PoE ports so do you know any 16+ port PoE switch that can do this?
THX for answer.

Do you mean you want a port on each switch to be able to communicate with each other but not with any other ports on the switches ?
i.e PC host at 192.168.1.3 on port 2 on switch 1, to be able to ping a IP host at 192.18.1.2 on switch 2 port 3 ?
If this sort of functionality is required you want to create a new vlan to the switch. If it is not the case please explain in more detail what you want and ignore the following.
regards Dave
Om my srw2008P i would do the following, i guess your interface is almost identical to my switch GUI interface.
step 1 create a vlan, maybe vlan 2
[make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the page at each step and save changes]
step 2. alter alter port x to be a untagged member of vlan 2
step 3 modify the vlan interface setting on both switches to make the fiber uplink port a trunk in vlan 2.

Connection Through Router Is Not There

I had internet before and everything was fine. I had it connected through my router and it was also fine there, and it connected to my Vista lap top easily. no troubles whatsoever. We recently switched over to a new cable modem because the last one was old. Now, I can connect to the modem just using my computer but when I connect through the router i get a no connection, or limited activity setting, and my laptop will also no connect to the internet either. Do i need to reinstall my router? I do not see why I would need to because I am using the same computer as before, and I did not reboot it entirely or anything... So the same settings should be there. I cannot find my router disc anywhere, because I bought it about 4 years ago. It is a WRT54G

I think my problem is similar. We started out with one desk top computer connecting through Comcast. We bought a second computer moved the first to the up stairs so we bought the WRT54G Ver. 6 wireless router. Both computers worked fine. My husband recently purchased a laptop which is connecting through the router. Now for some reason EVERY night at 9:00 p.m. on the dot neither the lap top or the upstairs computer will connect. The downstairs desktop connected directly to Comcast will connect. There are no issues with it at 9:00. The inability to not connect last for a couple hours but it is every night at 9:00. Any ideas? Thanks.

Problem with socket connection through Java Embedding...

We are trying to create a simple socket connection to a socket server through BPEL PM using the Java Embedding component.
BPEL Process : Client makes an asynchronous request. Passes an input variable. The input variable is sent to the Server Program through a socket connection through the Java embedding component.
Server: We are running a simple Socket Server program from command prompt.
The code below works fine as long as we do not try to receive a response from the server (Commented Code).
If we uncomment the code and try to receive a response, it refuses to create an instance for the BPEL Process. And sometimes restarts the BPEL Server.
Client Code:
String msg="NONE";
try{
org.w3c.dom.Element input = (org.w3c.dom.Element) getVariableData("inputVariable","payload","/client:clientProcessRequest/client:input");
msg = input.getNodeValue();
Socket clientsoc=new Socket("ServerIP",1000);
PrintWriter out1=new PrintWriter(clientsoc.getOutputStream());
out1.write(msg);
out1.flush();
BufferedReader cin1=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientsoc.getInputStream()));
msg=cin1.readLine();
setVariableData("outputVariable","payload","/client:result",new String(msg));
clientsoc.close();
catch(UnknownHostException e)
System.err.println("Don't know about host: dev.");
System.exit(1);
catch (IOException e)
System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for "+ "the connection to: dev.");
System.exit(1);
}

Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

How can i airplay from my mac connected through ethernet to an aple tv 2 on wifi

Hi everyone..
im having troubles using Airplay on my mac.. i connect my mac to the internet and home network using an ethernet connection to my router (non apple branded router) .. my apple tv 2 is connected to my home wifi network from the same router.. when i first set up my apple tv.. i was able to see the Airplay icon on itunes and it would let me Airplay media from my mac to my apple tv.. however.. it disconnects after a little while.. same thing with viewing my itunes library from apple tv.. i was able to detect my shared library from the apple tv.. i was able to play some media but then it disconnected after some time.. but now.. the Airplay icon doesnt show up in itunes anymore.. and i cant see my shared library from my apple tv neither.. ive looked around for a solution and followed the tip to turn the ipv6 off.. it worked for some time but now the problem is back..
i know the obvious solution is to connect my mac to the same wireless network as my apple tv.. but i would like to keep it connected through ethernet..
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
Apple TV 2 software version 4.4.4
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't say that was the obvious answer at all, my Mac is connected by ethernet and 6 of my 7 Apple TV's are connected by wifi, I haven't had any of your problems. The problem is most likely on your network.
Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port
Type
Protocol
Used By
80
TCP
HTTP

HTTPS

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.
