Multiple IPs and Outbound IP on 2008, best practice suggestion...

Hello,
I need a suggestion on an issue;
I have a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Std. Ed. I have 3 IPs for that server, each of them uses the same gateway. By design the IP which is closest to the gateway is the default outbound IP on W2K8_R2_SP1_SE.
I want to choose any other IP out of other 2 assigned IPs as default outbound one.
example:
GATEWAY: 10.0.0.1
IP1: 10.0.0.2 (default outbound by design)
IP2: 10.0.0.3 (the one I want it to be default outbound)
IP3: 10.0.0.4 (not important)
There are basically 2 choices available to me doable right now. Can you please take a moment and suggest one of the solutions below or state if you know the best practice for such a case? Thank you very much in advance =)
First Solution:
apply this command: Netsh int ipv4 add address 12 10.0.0.1 255.x.x.x skipassource=true
then apply these 3 hotfixes:
IP addresses are still registered on the DNS servers even if the IP addresses are not used for outgoing traffic on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2386184
The "skipassource" flag of IP addresses is cleared after you use the GUI to change IP settings of a network adapter in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2554859
FIX: IIS Manager does not display IP addresses that are assigned to the network adapter together with the skipassource flag
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2551090
Second Solution:
Simply create 2 interfaces. Use the first one with the IP that I want to be as outbound default, dump all other IPs to the second interface. 2 interfaces will have the same gateway but Windows will assume the first one as the outbound default.

I believe you want to set the metric on the interfaces.
You can do this by altering your routing table with
route.exe or alternatively, you can change the interface metric in the TCP/IP advanced properties for your network adapter (via Control Panel). By default it uses an automatic metric (i.e. Windows chooses which interface to use).
For your reference (and the reference of anyone else facing a similar challenge), the metric is a weighted value Windows will use to determine which interface to use for a particular endpoint. Here is the definition from the route.exe documentation:
metric Metric : Specifies
an integer cost metric (ranging from 1 to 9999) for the route, which is used when choosing among multiple routes in the routing table that most closely match the destination address of a packet being forwarded. The route with the lowest metric is chosen. The
metric can reflect the number of hops, the speed of the path, path reliability, path throughput, or administrative properties.

Multiple inbound and outbound plugs

Hi Experts,
Can anybody give an example scenario where we compulsorily need multiple inbound and outbound plugs for a view??

Hi snakar rao ,
Suppose we have three views, a , b, c. Suppose we have a requirement like we need a button move_to_b on a, a button back in b which will move back to a, a button move_to_c on b and a button move_to_initial screen on c.
in this case
we need one out bound plug in a which will be connected to inbound of b
one out bound plug in b which will be connected to inbound of c.
in this case a needs two inbound plugs, one is for navigating from b and the other is for navigating from c
if there is a requirement like we need to navigate from a to c directly also, in this case c need one more inbound plug thats to connect the inbound plug from a.

Localization: Best practice suggestions Apps with mixed UI and Content languages?

I am trying to write a simple Universal app that can be easily localized to different UI languages. But the app also needs to display content that is determined by user settings. For example I would like the app UI to display in the users region (English,
Russian, etc.) while at the same time having fields on the page whose strings are coming from other resources (Latin "la"? , Spanish, etc.).
The samples are pretty good about how to setup resources with respect to the UI ( e.g. Strings/en-us/Resources.resw ) but not what to do if you want to also be able to draw strings from a different language. When the words in the content fields show in Latin
I don't want the UI to also be in Latin.
Suggestions on best way to do this?
Thanks,

Hi Tom19,
I did not receive the email notification on my mailbox for your reply, that's weird. Sorry for the late response.
Basically we have the best practice documentation for you:

Trouble with organizing VIs to be used in multiple applications? Is there a best practice?

Question...basically, about best practice. I have made a VI that I use very often in
many different applications. (a special
path stripping thing for help with executable stuff) Right now, I have used it in so many
places always making a copy of it if I use it somewhere else because when I
deploy my code on a CD, I can't always be looking all around for all the VIs and where they are
stored, but the other hand is that I have so many copies of it, and if I make a
change, I have to replace them all, and when they are in different
versions...its' really tough...is there a better way than this?
In summary, say I kept one copy of each VI that I made as the master copy used in various places, when I go to deploy the VIs, is there a way that I can 'gather' all the appropriate VIs so that there are none missing when I deploy the code? Help would be appriciated...
James

I have a "Utility" folder where I keep all my often-used in different applications vi's. I always add these vi's directly to the block diagram directly (using the "Select a vi" button on the block diagram funtions palette. That way, those utility vi's are automatically included in the build. Of course, if such a vi is changed, that change will be included in any application that is subsequently "rebuilt". That's very good. Means your updates are automatic.

NX7K M and F series mixed chassis best practice?

I have NX7010 chassis' with mixed M and F series line cards. Fucntions to implement include VDC, vPC, VRF, and L3 routing. What are the best practices for mixed chassis? I once saw a Cisco document talking about it but couldn't find it right now.
Thanks in advance

Understand Layer 3 functions should be performed by M1 ports. But if I use F2e 10G ports to build a trunk between 2 NX7K, then use a SVI to make Layer 3 adjacency across this trunk connection, is it ok?
I can use M1 1G ports to build this trunk too but I would prefer F2e 10G ports if this is ok.
Thanks

Order Process Best Practice Suggestions?

Hey CF World,
I have to revamp an online order process. The process is broken into 4 steps.
The app as it exists today was built by a different developer and for the life of me, I have wasted about 5 hours trying to figure out exactly what the person is doing in the code just so I can make some basic tweaks to the process.
Could anyone offer what might be considered today's best practice for a step by step order process?
The thought is, if the user could complete step 1, upon clicking next the data elements of the form would be validated and then they would be taken to step 2, etc, etc... until the end where upon submission, the order would then be written to the database and next process triggered internally.
Should I have one page that upon submit of step 1 cycles back to itself, processes the data and then loads a separate div of info for step 2 or...?
Any suggestions would be great. Thank you so much in advance for your help, I sincerely appreciate it.
Ciao'

Hello,
Thank you so much for that. Let me qualify a few things as I probably should have in the first place. (my apologies)
Coldfusion 8
SQL Server 2005
There is no payment or credit card information being provided.
The user comes online, goes through a basic order process for some work to be done. As mentioned, it is a multi step process for gathering their information.
Once the entire order is in and all the fields validated along the way to ensure they were populated where required, the order is to be written into the pending orders table and an email is sent to the branch closest to the customer notifying them of the new order with a link into the details. The branch then calls them directly to confirm the details of the order before activating it.
So, the code I received, is next to impossible to follow through, for the life of me I can not figure out what the former developer has done. I need to make some changes to the process and if I can not even follow the flow to figure out where to make my changes, that could pose a problem.
I have not coded too much in Coldfusion for the past two years but did so quite extensively before that. I totally agree on the CFTransaction suggestion. I guess what I was looking for is, are there any best practices for coding that I should be aware of, especially considering what I want to accomplish? Previously we used the "fusebox" concept of coding and had most of our code in CustomTags in a very reusable and easy to follow structure and flow.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be great! Thank you very much!

I'm not going to attempt to answer the user interface side, that's not my area of expertise.
In terms of validation, ideally this should occur at three levels
1) Client-side - immediate response. Traditionally this is Javascript. For instance, if the user tries to enter a letter into a numeric field, they get feedback as soon as they press the button.
1a) Client side - on submit. Any extra validation (blank mandatory fields, comparison of fields) that doesn't require a trip to the server. Also traditionally Javascript.
2) Application level. Assume that the user had Javascript disabled, and none of your previous validation had happened. Also, there are tools such as Firebug that let them edit your HTML before running it: adding extra items to a SELECT, for instance. Redo all previous validation!
This is also where you check things against your database - and parameterise any database interface. SQL injection is a Bad Thing. Do as much as you can via stored procedures called by CFCs, and if your code only needs read access, use a datasource that only has read access.
3) Database level. Assume they've somehow got in via a route other than your application: maybe a malicious or careless employee using command-line SQL. Enforce all business rules and all data integrity constraints at database level: constraints, triggers, whatever your database provides.
Sounds horribly paranoid, doesn't it? But that trick of editing the SELECT is done by 13-year-olds hacking games, so if you're dealing with real money and adults, it's the sort of thing you have to allow for.

Any best practice/suggestion on giving Id's for UI Component

Hi,
I came to know that for better performance, id's on naming containers shall be less than 7 characters in length.
What about UI Components other than container components?
Is there any best practice available for giving Id's for UI Components and its length?
Do we face any issue if we give ids with more than 7 characters (just to make the id meaningful one)?
Thanks in Advance
Raguraman

a quotation from
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Performance and Tuning Guide book
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
E10108-02
>
The "id" attribute should not be longer than 7 characters in length. This is
particularly important for naming containers. A long id can impact
performance as the amount of HTML that must be sent down to the
client is impacted by the length of the ids.

Multiple IPs and firewalls

I'm wondering if it's possible to create multiple firewalls in Mountain Lion server. I have four IP addresses on one server, all on the same LAN, and I want to restrict specific traffic to specific TCP/UDP ports (e.g. only mail ports on IP X, web services on IP Y, and VPN services on IP Z, etc.).
Is it possible to create multiple firewalls on each port so that I can restrict network traffic in this manner? Or is there a better way to do this from the start?
Thanks!

Use pfctl (see: man pfctl)

Same device name has multiple IPs and MAC addresses - my fix

Router: Cisco Linksys EA4500 (N900)
Cloud Firmware: 2.1.139.145204 (no, I don't plan to update this version to the latest)
Cable Modem Service
So I was playing around with Oracle's VirtualBox (it's kinda like VMware, or Microsoft's HyperV) on my primary LAN-wired desktop in my home network, to create Virtual Machines (VMs, hereafter) to technically preview Microsoft's Windows 10 (may be released next year), and a couple of my other Windows installations.
I ended up launching VMs with the same hostname, but with different MAC addresses (and thus, different IP addresses).
The Linksys cloud firmware displayed all those MAC-IP combinations under the same hostname icon in its Smart WiFi Tools' Device List.
Some people here have complained about this issue, and I'd like to say this has never happened to me before (using the EA4500 for over a year), and I have about 15 devices connecting to my router, a minimum of 5 online at any one time.
With this kind of situation, you can't individually address each of those affected machines for Parental Controls and other configuration options.
What I did to solve the problem:
1. Ensure every VM has a unique name (change hostname in Windows Control Panel).
(this can be challenging since a cloned VM will initially start with the same name as its master, and the problem will already occur. Once the problem occurs, just renaming the hostname and rebooting the device/VM will not solve the problem. Would be nice if it did)
2. Get all duplicated devices off the network.
3. Execute a "ipconfig /flushdns" from the command prompt.
4. Delete any device (click on the x in the Device List icon) when it goes offline in the Smart WiFi Device List.
5. Ensure no duplicates exist under Connectivity, Local Network, DHCP Reservations (I use DHCP reservation for a number of my devices so they are guaranteed a fixed local IP)
6. Hit Refresh (more than once! ) under Troubleshooting, Status to get a list of devices with non-duplicate MAC addresses.
7. Do the same after clicking on the DHCP client table button on the same page.
8. Reboot the router (this step was not necessary some times, but I'd do it just to be safe).
9. Now add the devices back onto your network one at a time.
If there are no more hostname duplications, the VM devices with their unique MAC addresses should create new icons in the Device List page as they connect to the home network.
Hope the above helps somebody.

Design Choices and is LiveCycle needed? best practices for using RTMP/AMF over HTTP/XML communicatio

Hi,
I am new to flex/RIA. I am exploring different design choices especially in client server communication. On client side we will be using Flash based RIA (using Actions scripts).
There will be some simple forms (like for login, registration, payments etc) and some simple reports including with several graphs and charts. Each chart might have 1000 to 1500 data points etc. There are not video or audio content as such. On server side we have Servlets, java API and some EJBs to provide the business logic and real time prices/content (price update is usually every 10 seconds) /data. Some of the content will be static as well.
I have following questions in my mind. Is it worth it to use RTMP/AMF channels for the followings?
1. For simple forms processing (Mapping Actions scripts classes to Java classes). Like to display/retrieve/update data for/from registration forms.
a. If yes, why? Am I going to be stuck with LCDS? Is it worth it? What could be the cons for heavy usage/traffic scenarios
b. If not what are the alternates? Should I create the web services? Or only servlets are sufficient (ie. Only HTTP+Java based server side with no LCDS+RTMP+AMF)? All forms need to communicate on secure channel.
2. For pushing the real time prices/content which we may need to update every 15 seconds on user interface using graphs and charts. Can I do it with some standard J2EE/JMS way with RIA (Flex) on front-end? i.e. Flash application will keep pulling data from some topic. Data can be updated after few secs or few minutes which cant be predicted.
3. Are there any scalability issues for using RTMP? What happens if concurrent users increase 10 times within a year?
4. What are the real advantages of using RTMP/AMF instead of simple HTTP/HTTPS probably using xml based objects
5. Do I need to use LCDS if I am using AMF only on client side? Basically I mean if I am sending an object in form of xml from a servlet. Can some technology in Flash (probably AMF) in client side map it an Action script object?
6. What are the primary advantages of using LCDS in a system? Is there any alternate solutions? Can I use some standard solutions for data push technologies?
I would like that my server side implementation can be used by multiple types of clients e.g. RIA browser based, mobile based, third party software (any technology) etc.
I appreciate if you can kindly refer me to some reading materials which can help me deciding the above. If this is not the right place to post this message then please do refer me to the place where I can post such questions.
Thanks and Kind regards,
Jalal

Hi Jalal,
Let me see if I can help with some of your questions
1. Yes, you can use LCDS for simple forms processing. Any time you want to
move data between the Flex client and the server, LCDS (or its free Open
source cousin BlazeDS) is going to help. I would expect you would use the
mx:RemoteObject MXML tag to invoke server side code, passing it the form
data input by the application user.
2. If you need to push near real-time data, LCDS gives you the RTMP channel
which can scale quite nicely. You can then use the mx:Consumer MXML tag to
subscribe the clients to the messages, which can come from almost anywhere,
include JMS topics or queues.
3. RTMP (included in LCDS) is the best option for scaling to tens of
thousands of users and the LCDS servers can be clustered to proved better
scaling.
4. The AMF3 protocol used over the RTMP channels performs much faster than
simple XML over HTTP. See this blog posting for some tests:
http://www.jamesward.org/census/.
5. If you are sending a Flex application XML, then I would recommend using
the E4X API to work with the XML. This is a pretty nice and powerful way to
work with XML. If you want Actionscript objects (and probably better
performance), then using AMF serialization to Actionscript objects is the
way to go.
6. Primary advantages? There are many, but mainly you can avoid thinking
about the plumbing and concentrate on solving your application and business
logic problems.
Hope this helps you a little

Lync backend databases and Lync local databases placement best practices

We are deploying Lync 2013 for 30,000 Lync users across 2 pools in 2 datacenters. Dedicated SQL server for Lync to host all databases for FE, PC and monitoring roles.
Can anyone provide guidance around disk drives for SQL databases and local databases?
Lync backend databases
Planning for Lync Server 2013 requires critical thinking about the performance impact that the system will have on your current infrastructure. A
point of potential contention in larger enterprise deployments is the performance of SQL Server and placement of database and log files to ensure that the performance of Lync Server 2013 is optimal, manageable, and does not adversely affect other database
operations.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2012/11/20/using-the-databasepathmap-parameter-to-deploy-lync-server-2013-databases.aspx
Is it recommended to place all Lync DBs on one drive and logs on one drive or separate onto multiple drives using Databasemappath?
Lync 2013 local databases
In the Capacity Planning Guidance Microsoft
describes that the disk requirements for a Lync 2013 front end server, given our usage model, is eight disks configured as two drives.
One drive will use two disks in RAID 1 to store the Windows operating system and the Lync 2013 and SQL Express binaries
One drive will use six disks in RAID1+0 to store databases and transaction logs from the two SQL Express instances (RTCLOCAL and LYSS)
Is this enough or should we separate the local DBs and logs onto separate drives as well? Also how big do the local DBs get?

During the planning and deployment of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 for your Lync Server 2013 Front End pool, an important consideration is the placement of data and log files onto physical hard disks for performance.
The recommended disk configuration is to implement a 1+0 RAID set using 6 spindles. Placing all database and log files that are used by the Front End pool and associated server roles and services (that is, Archiving and Monitoring Server, Lync Server Response
Group service, Lync Server Call Park service) onto the RAID drive set using the Lync Server Deployment Wizard will result in a configuration that has been tested for good performance. The database files and what they are responsible for is detailed in the
following table.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398479.aspx
Microsoft's technet recommendation contradicts the blog recommendation for Lync 2010.

CF Standard, MS Exchange and SQL on one computer - best practices?

After attending Ryan Favro's session on vmware, I realized my
one box should function to it's full capacity (it's a dual physical
processor Supermicro/AMD Opteron w/ 8 hotswap Raptors, expandable
to a quad 2.6Ghz/8Gb RAM).
I had planned on running CF Standard (bought it), SQL
Express, and in fact all of my development stuff (Flex/Photoshop
CS2, which I also bought)) on this box, but that idea blew up when
I realized my PNY Quadro wouldn't run under Server 2003SBS (which,
you guess it, I also bought LOL). So, I've stripped out the
GUI-stuff - it's just going to be a server (web/email and database)
now. Webserver for my own sites, so no reason to spend money I
don't have on Enterprise CF. I will probably run a bunch of stuff
for friends under my domain in folders, i.e.,
faceitphoto.ca/mystuff, faceitphoto.ca/friend1stuff,
faceitphoto.ca/friend3 stuff...not more advanced than that. They
can forward/cloak however they see fit at their expense.
I see SQL Is available in a version that offers web services
- is that valid to me at all? Or am I good with just the MS SQL
Express?
Is MS Exchange going to function fine as the email server in
CF, i.e., can I point it as the source in Administrator? I have the
MX entry or whatever it's called from my ISP for faceitphoto.ca
pointed to my static IP.
Most importantly, as per the title, how would you recommend
setting this up? Should I buy XP Pro and run SQL under it, and CF
under my Server 2003 with the mailserver (Exchange) running in the
same environment? Is vmware the answer here?
Any other suggestions? I'm pretty much out of money after the
laptop comes...
And yes, I'm a bit out of my league here, so I will take the
recommendations to someone who knows what they are doing. I want
the OS/Apps drives all Ghosted when it's done (running, configured,
current updates applied). This isn't for a business (yet), so
please keep your $$$ recommendations with that in mind...but I am
very serious about trying to buildng something I COULD turn into a
small business down the road, i.e., I like to build photo galleries
and have 'informal' expectations at work to maybe cobble together a
dashboard with CF/SQL/Flex2/FDS2, and a few mgmt/reporting areas
(they'd run it from there, this would be a development
environment). Who knows from there...

hi
"I see SQL Is available in a version that offers web services
- is that valid to me at all? Or am I good with just the MS SQL
Express?"
>Sql express is just fine for start, if you are not happy
stripped sql you can allways start to use other version and import
db's there.
"Is MS Exchange going to function fine as the email server in
CF, i.e., can I point it as the source in Administrator? I have the
MX entry or whatever it's called from my ISP for faceitphoto.ca
pointed to my static IP."
>yes you can. you can still use your isp mailserver if you
dont want to use/maintain exchange.
"Most importantly, as per the title, how would you recommend
setting this up? Should I buy XP Pro and run SQL under it, and CF
under my Server 2003 with the mailserver (Exchange) running in the
same environment? Is vmware the answer here?"
>same enviroment is fine. you can spend $ to dedicated sql
box but why?
you can use wmvare too, it up to yours how you want to
maintain you dev/prod enviroment.
"I want the OS/Apps drives all Ghosted when it's done
(running, configured, current updates applied)."
>set some raid to your disks like 2 system disks and rest
for data and/or apps.
wmvare and you can have easy machine images, it make life
easy when troubles come..
if you do not select wmvare you can use symantec ghost
software to create images
select some backup software and maybe external hd (network
capable) where you do your daily backups
and firewall to protect your stuff!

Use both iPhoto and Aperture with one library-best practice?

I'd like to use both iPhoto and Aperture, but have both programs use/update just one photo library. I have the latest versions of both programs, but was wondering if the optimum approach would be to:
a)point Aperture to the existing iPhoto library and use that as the library for both programs
or
b)import the entire iPhoto library into a new Aperture library, delete the iPhoto library, and point iPhoto to use the Aperture library.
I should point out that up to now I've been using iPhoto exclusively, and have close to 20K photos in the iPhoto library, tagged with Faces, organized into various albums, etc; if that makes a difference...
Appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Frank! I'll try it that way.
Appreciate the help!
