Modems, Routers and Hubs

I'm really trying to get a handle on this but it doesn't look promising. I have a NextNet wireless modem, a Linksys 4-port router and a linksys 5-port hub.
I am trying to connect the internet to my mac and Dell pc running windows xp.
There are times when both computers work well and times when neither will connect. Today is one of those times. I have to disconnect everything and plug the modem directly into the mac in order to get online. Same goes for the pc.
I'm not using the hub at all since, from an earlier post, I was told only a router would do the trick.
I have connected the mac and pc to the router, ports 1 and 2 (uplink switch is not depressed). I then connected the modem to the internet port. I get green lights on everything but cannot get on the internet. I've tried turning everything off. Then turning on the router, modem, mac and pc. Sometimes that works. I've also tried powering down and up the router. Same goes for the modem. Sometimes that works. Sometimes not. I've tried repairing permissions on the mac. I've done disk verifications. I've run macjanitor. If all I am able to do is plug and re plug the modem directly into the two computers for them to have internet service I will go rapidly insane.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

According to the box the model number is rsu-2510-av.
The only thing else on the unit is the provider's logo; plateau.
The specifications on the side of the box are:
Standards: iee802.3 (10base-t)
Net Protocols: IP eathernet
Physical Interface: 10base-t rj-45
Their website is: plateautel.com
Is that any help?
It's also used. That may have a bearing.

VDSL modem/routers and FTTC self-install

Has anybody seen any more information related to this story? The possibility of using VDSL combined modem/routers and customer self-installation looks interesting.

Can see it now;

Engineer: Lets have a look at your set up.
Customer: Well, there is the master socket, well what I think is the master socket (the actual master socket is normally hidden away behind a wall unit) with an FTTC Filter, I then have a double adaptor with a 25 metre untwisted aliminium extension reel I bought from Wilko's. On the end of that is another FTTC Filter with 2 adaptors squeezed into it for my Sky Box, phone and another 10 metre untwisted aliminium extension reel which lead to yet another FTTC Filter with my VDSL Modem on it.
That's not funny, I've already seen so called engineer installed FTTC connections like that. Hate to think what it's going to be like with self install (Nightmare I think).

Trouble using Airport Express Base Station with DSL modem, Router and Hub

About 18 months ago, I had an Airport (802.11b) with WAN & LAN ports and modem hooked up to support two laptops, a Titanium Powerbook G4/600 and G3/400. The setup went from DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to Airport -> Hub (which had desktop and ethernet laser printer plugged in). The network worked fine.
Then, I got a G4 iBook to replace G3/400. Wanted to get 802.11g to support “g” Airport card in iBook. Got a Linksys 802.11g Wi-Fi with 4-port router for $50. Hooked it up directly with DSL modem. (Couldn’t get it to send out to hub). Hooked the desktop and ethernet laser printer into Linksys Wi-Fi/router. The only way I could use the printer was by having it be a shared printer from the desktop. This was often problematic.
Two months ago, I got a refurbished Airport Extreme Base Station. I can’t get the AEBS to interface directly with the DSL modem, so I hooked it up as follows:
DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to AEBS -> Hub. I plugged my Epson 820 (USB) into the AEBS and can see it to print to.
I have a static IP. That info is entered into Linksys router. Router set as Gateway, with DHCP enabled. AEBS is set to Connect using Ethernet, Configure using DHCP. Network setting: Distribute IP Addresses is unchecked.
Here’s my issue:
I can’t see the ethernet laser printer. It will occasionally flash available, but is gone in less than a minute. The printer is HP 2100 series.
Sometimes I can connect to the desktop G4 tower; most times I can’t.
I have checked and double-checked the cables.
Both the printer and desktop are connected to the Hub.
What can I do so that I can see the HP 2100 series printer and the G4 tower?

Don,
Thanks for the suggestions. Glutton for punishment that I am, I tried this again, “just for grins.“ The six other times I tried this, I couldn’t get the AEBS to “see” the Internet. And lo, this time it worked. Here’s the setup now:
DSL modem -> AEBS -> 4-port hub (which is connected to G4 tower and HP 2100 Ethernet printer). My USB Epson is connected to the AEBS, and I can print from the laptops. AEBS is set up: manual IP info, Network: distribute IP address; share a single IP using DHCP.
When I still couldn’t see the desktop G4 and the Ethernet HP 2100 connected via the hub (not), I got a flash. I had swapped out the cable a number of times to no avail. Then I realized, the hub is old and all the cables I was using are the new CAT5s. I dug out an old four-wire with RJ45 connectors that my husband made years ago (probably a cross-over cable). It was quite an effort as the cable is 30 ft. long and wrapped around the perimeter of the office behind desks and file cabinets, entwined with all the other wires. But I plugged it in and, Shazam! I am WORKING!
And, Don, thanks to you, I have eliminated the router from my gaggle of electronic boxes.

Is it possible my WES610N keeps crashing my modem (Sagemcom Connection Hub)?

I have a Cisco WES610N Entertainment bridge. I also have a Sagemcom F@st 2864 modem (connection hub) with Bell Canada. When connected at first, the modem works, along with the bridge connected to my wireless amplifier. However after 1 to 5 days, the modem always stops working. Bell replaced the modem 3 times and I’m on my 4th one in 2 weeks right now. This 4th one stopped working after one day as well. However, this time I decided to see if the bridge is the problem and disconnected it. I then rebooted the modem and it now works fine again.
Is there something I need to do in the configurations of both in order for them to work well together without my modem shutting down every day?
Please reply if you know anything about this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Alan,
I have this problem too. I had the SageComm replaced once, then the problem happened again. I have cascaded wireless routers and connected the LinkSys 610N to the other wireless router, and the Bell Modem goes down after a short while.
This worked fine for about a year and I suspect it has something to do with the latest SagemComm firmware upgrade.
Dont waste your time trying to fix this. There is a dearth of information and I have wasted a week on this problem in small incremental chunks.
No. You are not crazy.

CiscoWorks user options "device type groups|switch and Hubs"

Hi,
We are using CiscoWorks software to deploy new configuration to our network devices. Because our environnement is mixed about version of network devices we have to create a new netconfig job for each device model, because in some plate-forme configuration option, syntax maybe different of each other.
When I create a new netconfig job with my username under "device type groups|switch and Hubs" I have a list there of all plate-forme we have in our production environnement managed by CiscoWorks software. I know thoses group was'nt define by on of us and thoses are define by default in CiscoWorks software, but they are hiden by default per user basic.
We have a new one in our team, I had created his user name and password, but I can find the option where I can asked to make visible to him plate-form device type group as I have in my user configuration.
Also, is it possible to copy private define group to an other user without to make thoses as public ?
Thanks a lot !

Here,
is a view of what I have with my user
but in his profile he is only see
Device type Groups
     + Routers
     + Switches and Hubs
     + Wireless
if he clic on the plus sing to develop group "Switches and Hubs" he see all switches and hub managed by CiscoWorks software. I know He did not create Cisco Catalyst 2912 XL Switch and Cisco Catalyst 2924 XL Switch group in my profile. I know we have to modify an option in CiscoWorks per user basic to view those group, the person who where that option should be modifiy is currently in vacation, but he will need that option enable before our specialist will be back !
Thanks a lot !

What does Verizon offer in the way of wireless modem/routers?

My stepson currently has verizon DSL service and right now has a single port, Westell 6100 modem/router for a wired connection only. He's getting a new laptop and wants to continue to connect his desktop machine directly to the modem/router but wants to connect the laptop using it's built-in wireless "N" NIC.
The issue is that my stepson is VERY non-technical and I feel very stongly that the best direction for him is to go with a wireless modem/router that is provided by and supported by Verizon. Can anyone tell me what make/model of wireless modem/routers Verizon is offering and whether any of them are supporting wireless "N" vs. the older wireless "G" standard?

Hello there,
You are on the right track!
I just traveled this road myself. You're right if you don't use verizon equipment nothing else will work.
Contact verizon DSL support tell them based on your application you want a VersaLink Model 7500 by Westell
It's a 4 port plus wireless combo modem/router.
It will address all your application wishes. Tech support will assist you with the set up.
Trust me you are going to love this Westell hardware.
Hope this helps Good luck!

Slow network speed after connecting to routers and switch

Hello
The following is my test setup I have running at my house for some practice and leaning
Some reason the PC1 which is a laptop is getting very horrid internet / download speeds, and I am trying to narrow down why.
Example, on my main desktop that is connected right to the Arris Cable modem / router I get around 34Mbps down. But the laptop that is connected in the topology above, is getting 0.06 Mbps down
I am not sure if there are settings that need to be checked on the routers or what could cause this, I am figuring the traffic is bogging at some place.
Thanks

Update on some things I have tried
As I am not sure the cause, I have been reading and trying different things, last thing was to set the interfaces to Duplex Full
I did this on both the Ethernet ports on the routers, and both of the Fast Ethernet ports being used on the switch, but has not changed the speed that PC1 is getting.
Also turned on CEF on both routers

Which consumer-type DSL modem/routers pass inbound VPN?

My setup is a Mac OS X 10.5.7 Server behind a DSL modem/router with a fixed IP address. Until recently, I had a working inbound VPN setup (PPTP), where the modem passed VPN on to the server. I had this with various brands of modem/routers over the years.
Now, my provider shipped me a new modem/router because the old one broke. I received a Linksys WAG54G2. And my inbound VPN stopped working. It turns out Cisco has explicitly crippled its consumer modem/routers not to be able to pass on VPN to the inside. I can pass TCP and UDP ports on, but not the GRE protocol (IP 47 if I recall correctly).
So, now I am looking for a decent DSL-modem/router that allows me to setup inbound VPN to my OS X Server again but is also decent in the firewall & NAT area.

Hello Leif,
Thanks for replying. Note: I already have a VPN connection (PPTP, though with problems which I am now trying to debug)
In answer to your questions:
- I run the latest firmware on the linksys already
- The firewall in the linksys gateway is not configurable, it is either on or off
- The server is behind the linksys
- When the client is on the LAN (where the server also is), I get a perfect PPTP VPN
- When the client is on the internet somewhere (I am setting up an outside-in VPN):
- PPTP works, but in the one location I tested it dies every time after 2 min 30 sec. The server log says "client hung up".
- I cannot get L2TP to work, not even on the LAN, not even with all firewalls turned off. The client ppp.log says:

Internet via airport and other computer via ethernet and hub

Is this possible?
Network 1:
I have a macbookpro. I connect to the 'net via airport and a wireless router-modem. I use dhcp with manual address (192.168.1.5, because we have numerous computers here). All's sweet.
Network 2:
I need to work on a linux box which doesn't have wireless. It's a pain to connect it to the wireless router directly (although this does work), so I have an ethernet cable and hub and cable to connect it to the mbp directly. I configure ipv4 manually and can telnet etc to the linux box (which has its own ipaddress specified already) IF the airport is disconnected.
But I want to run both at the same time. I know I can work on the linux box and surf at the same time IF I connect the linux box to the router (by ethernet cable). But what if I want to have the wireless and ethernet on my mbp together?
Do I need to specify different ip addresses on my mbp for the ethernet and wireless? I've set it both ways and it doesn't seem to work with them either the same or different. If I go to Network Port Configurations (in Network) and move "Airport" to the top, I can surf but not telnet to the linux box. If I have Ethernet higher in the list, I can telnet but not surf. This is the case whether the ip addresses are the same or different.
Is it possible to do what I want, or just not possible?
No I don't have a crossover cable.

Realised that I needed two networks with different ids.

Best wifi set up for multiple routers and appletvs

Hi, just got the new June 2013 "tower" airport extreme in my ongoing quest to improve non ethernet wifi in my large house (lots of bathrooms and solid block walls, no cable)
Trying to figure out best set up for the various routers and whether or not to use "Bridge" mode. Have the following
New tower airport extreme
2 x older airport extremes
3 airports
5 apple tvs each in a different room for streaming media to 5 televisions
SO planning to factory re-set all my old airports and then install the tower airport in prime receiving position. It will recieve the wifi signal via an ethernet cable from the "radio" on my roof which receives my internet signal. (Actually faster than most wired internet in the small town I live in).
Tower = main receiver and distributor of internet
1 x older airport extreme distributing this signal further into the house - SHOULD THIS BE IN BRIDGE MODE?
2 or more others distributing the signal from the older airport extreme further into the house - SHOULD THEY ALSO BE IN BRIDGE MODE?
I'm very unclear on the benefit of bridge mode. Currently all my routers operate freely and are just extenders - not in bridge mode. Devices just hook into whatever router is nearest - some of which show Excellent wifi and the furtherest show only "Good wifi. I have one room at the very end of my house where the wifi is pretty weak.
Any comments on set up or especially the value of Bridge mode and whether all down-stream routers should be bridged or just extended much appreciated. I guess there is a possibility that I place the 2 older extremes in two main extending locations. One for one section of the house and the other to receive the signal direct from the Tower Airport Extreme to distribute the other end of the house section. So should they both be bridged....?

When an AirPort is properly configured to extend the wireless range of another, it is automatically reconfigured into Bridge mode.
Each of AirPorts that you will use to extend the new 802.11ac AirPort Extreme would all need to be configured as such. Please check out this Apple Support article on how to extend AirPorts.
The key here is to understand that the extended network works in a wheel-like fashion with the base station being extended at the hub of the wheel and each of the extending ones on one of the spokes. This should help you plan the best placement of each base station for maximum performance. For more details on optimum placement, please see the following AirPort User Tip.

AE Base and Hub Question...HELP!

I have an iMac connected to a hub along with my printer. I bought an AE Base Station for wireless internet for my iBook upstairs. I want to keep my iMac wired to the hub but connect the base station so the iBook can connect to the internet. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SIMPLE!!!!!! I connected my cable modem to the hub and connected my iMac and the Base Station to the hub. I DOESN'T WORK!!!!! What am I doing wrong?????

A hub is not the proper device to share an internet connection. You need a router like the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
You need to connect the equipment like this:
cable modem->[WAN] AEBS [LAN]->hub
Make sure that your AEBS is configured to distribute IP addresses. All of your devices will get an IP address from the AEBS.

Any modem/routers that are known to work well with macbook?

Apart from airport.....
I have a Dlink now, wich works fine when the macbook runs on windows, but drops the signal every 5min when it runs on Tiger. Also when I try to copy large files from a shared network drive, finder frozes!!!!

Before ditching you Dlink you may want to see if the suggestions here…
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=518368
… work. Not to mention I've heard that changing the preamble on the Dlink from a short to a long preamble fixes things as well.
Apart from that, I've always had good success with 3com wireless modem/routers. You can also turn the wireless off on the DLink and then conenct say an Airport Express/Extreme to it for wireless as well.

How to protect a PIM-SM network from unauthorized pim routers and multicast sources?

Hi,
we're using pim sparse mode in a customer network with catalyst 2/3/4/6K switches, all multicast routers are redundant with pim dr running for access subnets. RPs are configured with anycast rp.
A) Is there any possiblity to prevent rogue pim routers/igmp queriers connected to host ports from getting connected to the legal pim routers and from getting involved in the local igmp traffic?
Maybe like DHCP Snooping used with DHCP. I read that in the latest Sup2T ios (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/15-2SY/config_guide/sup2T/15_2_sy_swcg_2T.pdf) there is a feature called 'ipv4 router guard' which does exactly what we're looking for:
'When configured, the Router Guard feature makes the specified port a host port only. The port is prevented from becoming a router port, even if a multicast router control packets are received. In addition, any control packets normally received from multicast routers, such as IGMP queries and PIM joins, will also be discarded by this filter.'
Afaik, PIM authentication isn't supported in current catalyst ios versions.
Using a normal port ACL is not an option in our case because of a management decision.
B) Is there any possibility to prevent (on a per-subnet basis) rogue sources from sending multicast streams to legal multicast-groups?
Maybe, can I configure a svi of a host subnet or a host port to drop any incoming multicast stream while still accepting IGMP and sending out legal multicast streams?
Using 'ip pim accept-register' command on the rp is not an option because we've tons of legal sources which would end in an very huge error-prone acl
Unfortunately, a normal ACL is not an option here, too.
Best Regards
Thorsten

We use two pim routers in each host subnet for redundancy, they elect the PIM DR.
Does pim passive mode work here?
(Config Guide: If the ip pim passive command is configured on an interface enabled for IP multicast, the router will operate this interface in PIM passive mode, which means that the router will not send PIM messages on the interface nor will it accept PIM messages from other routers across this interface. The router will instead consider that it is the only PIM router on the network and thus act as the DR and also as the DF for all bidir-PIM group ranges. IGMP operations are unaffected by this command. ... The redundant PIM stub router topology is not supported. The redundant topology exists when there is more than one PIM router forwarding multicast traffic to a single access domain. PIM messages are blocked, and the PIM asset and designated router election mechanisms are not supported on the PIM passive interfaces.)
ip pim neighbor-filter maybe would work to prevent rogue pim routers to connect to the legal pim routers but wouldn't rogue pim routers still be able to manipulate the layer2 switch to send all igmp traffic to them and not to the legal pim routers?

Multiple routers and subnets - can't access across subnets

Hey all, I'm having an issue with multiple routers and subnets on my FIOS connection. Here's how everything is setup:
Primary router:
ActionTec MI424WR Rev D (from Verizon)
WAN IP: From ISP
WAN NETMASK: From ISP
LAN IP: 192.168.1.1LAN NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
Secondary router (WAN connected to ActionTec LAN):
Belkin N750 gigabit w/ 802.11n
WAN IP: 192.168.1.2
WAN NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
LAN IP: 192.168.2.1
LAN NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
With this setup, I have the secondary router's WAN port connected to a LAN port on the primary router. Each are broadcasting an SSID and each are running DHCP to assign address to their respective subnets. Everything was well and good, except that I could reach 192.168.1.* systems from 192.168.2.*, but not vice versa -- anything connected to the Primary router was blind to systems connected to Secondary. Also, I could not ping anything on .2 from .1.
So, I added the following static route to the primary router:
DESTINATION: 192.168.2.0
NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.2
Once this was added to the router, I could ping everything, so that was good. However, even though .1 can now ping .2, I can't access certain things such as the web interface of my NAS (192.168.2.2). I can ping it, but accessing it in the browser from .1 doesn't work; however, accessing from .2 does work.
I think the ActionTec router might be blocking it, but that's just a guess. The firewall on this thing has me thoroughly confused. Currently, I have 192.168.1.2 in the DMZ on the ActionTec, but that didn't make a difference. I've also completely disabled the firewall on the secondary Belkin router, but still nothing.
Any help from the pros here? Much appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, I figured it out and everything is now working. The issue appears to be that the ActionTec router doesn't recognize traffic from Subnet 1 to Subnet 2 as internal traffic -- it treats it as external traffic and closes it off. To fix this, it required some Advanced Firewall Filters that were far from unituitive and took a lot of testing to get it just right. If anyone runs into a similar situation in the future, here's a rundown of what I did to make it all work:
Primary Router:
ActionTec, MI424WR Rev D
WAN IP/NETMASK:Assigned by ISP
LAN IP/NETMASK:192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0
Secondary Router:
Belkin N750 Gigabit w/ 802.11n
WAN IP/NETMASK:192.168.1.2 / 255.255.255.0
LAN IP/NETMASK:192.168.2.1 / 255.255.255.0
Plug Secondary router's WAN port into a LAN port on the Primary router.
Setup Secondary router to have static LAN address (192.168.1.2)
At this point, you should have 2 separate subnets: Subnet 1 (192.168.1.*) and Subnet 2 (192.168.2.*).
Systems on both subnets should be able to reach the internet. Also, Subnet 2 should be able to ping and reach systems on Subnet 1; however, systems on Subnet 1 should not be able to ping or reach systems on Subnet 2. For this, we need to create a static route so Subnet 1 can reach Subnet 2.
Create and apply the following static route in the Primary router: (Advanced > Routing)
RULE NAME:Network (Home/Office)
DESTINATION:192.168.2.0(your secondary subnet)
GATEWAY:192.168.1.2(secondary router's WAN IP)
NETMASK:255.255.255.0
METRIC:1
The router now has a route between Subnet 1 (192.168.1.*) and Subnet 2 (192.168.2.*). You should be able to ping systems on Subnet 1 from 2, and ping systems on Subnet 2 from 1. You should not be able to access any systems, though -- the firewall is still blocking all but ping traffic from Subnet 1 to Subnet 2. We need to create some firewall rules to allow this communication.
Make sure Primary firewall is set to at least typical/medium (Firewall Settings > General).
We need to create some network objects to make it easier to manage the rules we'll create. Go to Advanced > Network Objects and do the following:
1.Click Add. You are now on Edit Network Object screen.
2.Set Description to 'Subnet 1'.
3.In Items section below, click Add.
4.Set Network Object Type to 'IP Subnet'.
5.Set Subnet IP Address to 192.168.1.0.
6.Set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0.
7.Click Apply. You are now back on Edit Network Object screen.
8.Click Apply. You are now back on Network Objects Screen.
9.Repeat the above steps again, but this time creating a second network object called 'Subnet 2':
Nameubnet 2
IP Subnet:192.168.2.0
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
Now we create the firewall rules. Go to Firewall Settings > Advanced Filtering.
In the Inbound/Input rules section, click the Add link next to Network (Home/Office) Rules.
Create the following Advanced Filter:
SOURCE ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 1'
DEST. ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 2'
PROTOCOL:'Any'
OPERATION:'Accept Packet'
OCCUR:'Always'
Click Apply. You will now be back on the Advanced Filtering page.
In the Outbound rules section, click the Add link next to Network (Home/Office) Rules.
Create the following Advanced Filter:
SOURCE ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 1'
DEST. ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 2'
PROTOCOL:'Any'
OPERATION:'Accept Packet'
OCCUR:'Always'
Click Apply. You will now be back on the Advanced Filtering page.
Click Apply.
You're all done. You should now have internet access on both subnets, be able to ping across subnets and also be able to access services across subnets (local webservers, SSH, telnet, mail, etc). You will not be able to see network file shares across subnets in Windows, however, as this requires a WINS server (which is well outside the scope of this post). For instance, I have a Western Digital NAS on the 192.168.2.0 subnet that I can access as \\Mybooklive\ from within Subnet 2; on Subnet 1, however, I have to access it by its IP \\192.168.2.10\.

The difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Cisco Routers and Catalyst switches

Hello
I am investigating the difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Routers and Switches.
Basically dot1x auth is availlable on Catalyst Switches. however if I want to check to
PortBased Multi-Auth , MAC address Auth and any certification Auth with this feature,
Is it possible to integrate into Cisco Router such as Cisco 891F ?
In my opinion Cisco891F is also available to use basic IEEE802.1x but if it compares with Catalyst switches such as Cat3560X
I think there might be any unsupported feature on Cisco 891F.
I appreciate any information. thank you very much in advance.

Many time in interviews asked comaprison between cisco routers and switches that i was answerless bcoz i dont have much knowledge about that.Can anyone provide me the compariosin sheet of the same.how are the cisco devices differ with each other how much Bandwidth each routres support and Etc...
Ummmm ... The most common question I get is "what is the difference between a router and a switch".
However, if you get a question like this, then my impression to this line of questioning are:
1. The candidate they are looking for has in-depth knowledge of routers and switches. And I mean IN-DEPTH!;
2. They are not looking for a candidate. They just want to stroke their ego. There is not alot of people who can give you the "names and numbers" of routers and switches at a snap of a finger. And if you do happen to know the answer, then and there, then expect a tougher follow-up question.
