One isp two with routers

I have to replace cisco equipmenet and looking for an advise
my current network layout:
my destination layout want to something like that:
I have a couple questions:
1) is that new network layout would be a good solution or is it better to do also 3750 redundancy,
2) we have only 1 isp, for now to access internet we use 1 static route, if we want to do the redundancy, do we have to ask our isp to do BGP for us? Is there any other way to accomplish that?

1) I would definitely add another 3750 to help consolidate the dual redundancy you're putting in place at the network edge. Then form a 3750 stack and provision cross-stack uplinks to your distribution and access layer switches.
2) Agree with marwanshawi above - find out what your ISP can offer. What type of technology is used for your primary circuit? If E1, then the keepalives will ensure both parties can fail across to the standby circuit with some simple static routing.
If Ethernet, then you can apply IP SLA or BGP to detect a failure within the carrier cloud and failover (i.e. your outbound traffic.) However, carriers tend to just rely on BGP to control fail over on their side (i.e. your inbound traffic.)

#1 3750 redundancy would be better, as the 3750 appears to be the core of your network. Where possible, dual MEC to your other switches. Believe you might be able to dual MEC to your 2911s too, if so, you don't need the cross link between them, if not, insure each 2911 is connected to a different 3750 stack member.
#2 there are a couple of ways to do this without BGP. You might route between the 2911s and the 3750 using an IGP that can pass a default route. You might static route to both 2911s, using mHSRP for redundancy.
You'll need to have your ISP route to both your 2911s too.

Possible to select one of two wireless routers preferentially?

I have two routers in my home because the signal strength doesn't reach the whole house.
Often my laptop will connect to the more distant router with a weaker (slower) signal. Is there a way that I can configure my connection to prefer one router over another, or to choose the stronger signal?
Thanks.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for my delayed reply.
I have a cable modem connected to the WAN on a new Netgear WNR3500 in a downstairs room with a metal roof. I have a G5 and an old G4 connected to the WNR3500 LAN ports at 1Gb speeds. I have Macbook Pro that I used to connect to the LAN port on my old wired router so I could get maximum speeds for work teleconferencing. Now I connect it wirelessly for that since the WNR3500 is wireless-N, but I still use the hardwired 1Gb connection occasionally for large data transfers.
I also have a cable from a WNR3500 LAN port running upstairs to the WAN port on my old wireless router, a Netgear WNR314, which only supports wirless-G. My WNR3500 does not reach all parts of the upstairs and I already had the old router and cabling so I hooked it up to supplement the 3500. The 314 is set up to NOT provide DHCP hosting - all of the wireless connections through it are assigned ip addresses by the 3500 downstairs. I have a Powerbook G4 upstairs that is usually connected wirelessly to this router.
The problem is that if I bring the Macbook Pro upstairs, or the Powerbook G4 downstairs, they don't automatically switch to the nearer (and stronger and thereby faster) router but stay connected to the weaker signal. I think that means my setup is not supporting roaming. I haven't looked at the WNR314 settings in more detail yet, but I don't remember a specific 'bridged" mode. The two routers do have different SSIDs.
So, is it just that the 314 is too old to support bridging, or is it because the two are using different protocols and channels? E.g, if I set up the 3500 to use wireless-G would that allow them to switch automatically? Not that I want to do that, because I like the LAN transfers speeds I get with the wireless-N. I do understand that my cable modem is the bottleneck for web I/O.
For now, I can switch manually, which is not such a big deal, but if I'm in the middle of a transfer or teleconference, that gets cut off.

One Printer - two wireless routers, and one Airport Express

Hi all,
I'll do my best to describe this convoluted situation in detail, please feel free to ask questions—I need all the help I can get.
I am in an office with 5 Macs (some with wireless capabilities: my Intel iMac, a Mac mini, an eMac with a wireless card, and a new iMac running OSx 10.5) and one eMac with no wireless capabilities.
We're all connected to an Actiontec router. The one eMac is hard-wired via ethernet to the router and the rest of us receive the signal wirelessly through an 2' thick concrete wall that makes for a slow connection. Our printer, an OKIdata C3200N, is also hard-wired via Ethernet to the router, which allows us wireless Macs to print on a crappy, slow connection.
I got fed up with the slowness and brought in an Airport Express, which is now also hard-wired to the ethernet port and seamlessly and easily connects all the wireless-capable Macs to the internet. It's a joy. However, whenever we wanted to print, we had to switch to the slower Actiontec network b/c the printer was not connected to the Aiport Express.
I figured I could remedy this by plugging a USB printer cable from the printer to the AX and all the wireless Macs would automatically find the printer through Bonjour. It seemed like a good plan; though I was worried that the printer would be confused by having both the Ethernet connection AND the AX connection (this could be the case).
Now, I have been able to be on the AX network, find the printer via Bonjour (with Printer Sharing turned on). However, when I print to it (or any of the other Macs in the office try to print to it) a variety of errors happens:
...the printer jobs are paused and will not resume (this happens on the iMac running OSX 10.5)
...the print queue spools and says "waiting to complete job"
Do I need to configure something through the Airport Admin Utility? Is this a lost cause because the printer is connected two ways to our computers? Is there any hope for printing on the AX connection?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Thank you so much Duane. Can you clarify what you mean by:
I would recommend returning the printer connection to the original configuration.
Thanks! I'll look up the other stuff about AX as a bridge (now to remember that AX admin password....)
Thanks!

Two WRT610N Routers Which One to Keep, Which One to Return?

For Christmas I received two WRT610N routers as gifts. While the model number is the same they appear to be different versions, or at least in different packaging.
The first one is in an all blue box and is called N Ultra Range Plus Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router. UPC# 45883 58520.
The second one is in a blue box with a red banner on the front and a red side panel. On that box the router is called a Simultanteous Dual Band Wireles-N Gigabit Router. The UPC# is also 4583 58520.
Since I want to return one of them, I have not yet opened either box, so here are my questions:
Are these the exact same products?
Is one V1 and the other V2? How can you tell V1 from V2?
Is V2 better than V1 or is it just a firmware update to the same hardware?
If they are not the same product, which one should I keep and which one should I return?
Thanks for your help!

I agree with richard - I didn't mention this in my last post
Unless you are in dire need of some other piece of equipment and can exchange the 2nd router for it - I would keep them both -- especially since Santa brought them and you have no actual cost ($$) in them
I maintain two different home networks and help 2 different business keep their small networks running -- I have a spare/extra router for 'each' of my home networks - and the two business' always has a spare router on hand - in case of an emergency
I'm not sure about your chipset question -- but I beieve you may be able to tell the version # by the S/N - google around to check on the S/N--Version question --- or ask Liknsys Chat -- it's faster than a phone call - http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/chat

Two Cisco Routers in one class-c network

Hello,
i have two cisco routers, which are connected to one switch. On this switch, there are several servers connected as well.
When i connected the second cisco router, i got messages on the first router, that there is an ip address conflict. After a few minutes it seems as if the vpn tunnel on the first router breaks down because of this conflict. I'm not sure about this, but when i disconnected the second router again, the vpn tunnel could be established again. The vpn tunnel goes to another router via WAN and ends in the local class-c network, where both routers are in.
Router1
LAN 192.168.105.254 (255.255.255.0)
WAN 212.xxx.xxx.xxx
||
||
Cisco Switch
||
||
Router2
LAN IP 192.168.105.253 (255.255.255.0)
WAN IP 217.xxx.xxx.xxx
Router1
int fa 0/1
ip address 192.168.105.254 255.255.255.0
Router2
int fa 0/1
ip address 192.168.105.253 255.255.255.0
Could the /24 mask on the interfaces cause the conflicts?
From the servers, none has the ip 192.168.105.253 or 192.168.105.254 and if i disconnect Router2, the IP 192.168.105.253 is not reachable from any system on the switch.
So how does this ip address conflict occur?

hello,
can you check the router 1 log. with error message you should have a mac address
May 10 05:32:20.489: %IP-4-DUPADDR: Duplicate address 10.10.10.1 on GigabitEthernet0/1.1, sourced by 0003.oc12.a2c3
This should help you to identify host already with 192.168.105.253.
Before connecting Router 2, from Router 1 ping 192.168.105.253 and do a sh arp ?
HTH,
regards,
cisand

CALLING ALL EXPERTS - Connected TWO Actiontec Routers to use one as main and second as GUEST

Hello Experts-
I have TWO Actiontec Routers from Fios. I bought the new N one, and I have an old Actiotec that I was previously not using. So here is what I am trying to do...
I'd like to leave Router 1 (the New N router) as my primary router (comes from ONT via cat5 wire NOT Coax) and Set-up the second router off the first to be a guest router. So essentially make it a bridge.
I can't seem to configure it to work correctly.
Can anyone out there give me a step-by-step walkthru on how to configure this second router so I can have them both hooked up, seperate SSID, with one as the Main and the other being the Guest?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
Rob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm basically wondering how to change the routers IP address and where the Disable DHCP is within the menus.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Rob
To change the IP address of the Local Area network choose:
My Network
Network Connections
Click edit on the row for "Network (Home/)office"
On the next screen click Settings
On the next screen you can change the LAN (192.168.1.1) address to something different.
On the same screen you can disable DHCP too.
I hope this helps.

I have created two related books in Lightroom 5 (Volumes 1 and 2) but my balance of page numbers is off. So I'd like to take some pages out of one book (complete with images) and paste them into the other. Is this possible?

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

Is there a way to share one music library with two seperate icloud accounts?

Is there a way to share one music library with two seperate icloud accounts? I have over 12,000 songs in my library and my son likes the same music, but recently his ipod touch is picking up the texts from my wife's and my phone? I was told the only way to stop this is by giving him his own icloud account which would mean he wouldn't have access to my music library. Any ideas?

He can still use your Apple ID for iTunes content, no issues. He just gets a separate ID for everything else.

HT2486 can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro? I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro? I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?

How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

A friend set me up with icloud and in the process he lost some of the book i was listening to. I can't find it in my ipod or on my computer. It is part one and two of a book; interest part three showed up hough.

A friend set me up with icloud on my ipod touch and in the process lost part one and two of the book I had purchased from itunes. I searched for it and it is not in my ipod any longer, although part 3 is there. I tried to download it again from itunes store but they said I already purchased it and I didn't want to be charged again. What can I do? I am not happy at all because all I did with my Ipod was listen to my book and now I can't.

Hi.
If you've bought it from iTunes, you should be able to re-download it for free.
Download directly from iPod by going to the iTunes Store-App and find the "Purchased"-menu. From here you should get a complete list of all your bought items and the ability to re-download.
Download from iTunes on PC/Mac by opening iTunes > Go to iTunes Store > Go to the menubar on the left and choose "Purchased". Now, from the appearing window select the proper categori on top of the screen.
I hope this was helpful.

This is an easy one: One Apple TV with two Account (MusicMatch and PhotoStream)

Hi,
How can I setup Apple TV with my iTunes Account (for music, movies, etc) and a different iCloud account for Photostream. This is easy in IOS and OS devices, but I could not figure this out on Apple TV. Apple TV configuration takes the iTunes account and uses it as the default for music match and Photostream, can this be different?
If not how can I merge the two with least hassle.
Thanks.

That isn't correct, when you go to setup photo stream, it asks you if you wish to use the account associated with the iTunes store, or use a different one.
