OnPlus Dual WAN monitoring
Is there any way to get a single OnPlus to monitor two (or more) WAN connections at a customer site simultaneously?
I have customers that use dual wan routers (RV's and ISA's) that I would like to be able to only roll-out a single OnPlus to instead of needing to roll-out One OnPlus for each WAN and then policy route them over each individual WAN link.
The short answer is yes.
I'm assuming the dual internet connections are setup to either load balance or failover. In either situation, technically speaking, OnPlus would never lose connection unless both connections go down and thus would never alert.
So the way that I would go about monitoring both connections with a single OnPlus would be to ensure that ICMP is allowed outbound through your client's firewall. Then, after the ON100 is deployed and completes discovery, I would manually add 2 devices, one for each internet connection. I would make those devices the circuit endpoint at each provider, which is generally the gateway addresses your border router/firewall uses. I would then use ICMP monitoring on each of those devices in OnPlus to alert if it loses connection.

ASA 5505 Dual WAN - Ping inactive wan from outside?
I currently have some small branch offices using ASA 5505 with Security Plus license and dual wan connections. They are configured wil an sla monitor so if the primary WAN goes down the secondary connection becomes active. This works as expected, however...
I can't ping the non-active interface from an outside source. I beleive this is by design or due to some limitation on the 5505. The problem is that I don't know if the backup WAN connection is functioning normally without forcing the ASA to make it active. We use a flaky wireless connection for the backups. The problem recently bit me because both WAN connections were offline.
I'm looking for an easy way to monitor the inactive wan interface, preferably by pinging from an outside location. Is this possible?Hello,
This wont work because the ASA receives the ping on the backup link but has the default route pointing to the outside.
You would have to add a more spefic route for your IP.
Example:
If you want to ping coming from IP 1.1.1.1
route outside 0 0 x.x.1.1 1 track 1
route backup 0 0 x.x.2.2 250
route backup 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 x.x.2.2

Hi,
I am trying to connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor. I am not having a lot of luck.
My machine:
OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I am trying to connect it using the:
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
DVD-D HDMI cable
YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/150788045871?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649#ht_16597wt_877)
Here is what is happening.
1. I connect the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter + HDMI Cable to Monitor
2. Main monitor powers up like it is trying to display
3. Laptop Monitor displays second part of desktop
4. I can never get the Yamakasi to display a picture
Here is what I have tried:
1. Different HDMI-D cables
2. ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
3. Zapping the P-Ram
4. Powering monitor with laptop closed
5. Forcing the system to see the second monitor
The nearest I can figure:
- The laptop does see the catsleap (it displays resolutions I can set it to)
I am completely stumped, I was hoping someone could advise me.
Thanks,
DonHey Kytarx,
I found the winning combination this weekend.
I tried:
- Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
- ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
- Monoprice Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI®, DVI & DisplayPort Adapter
My experience:
- Altona didn't work at all, and their support claimed it would not.
- Monoprice didn't work to Dual DVI, it did work to HDMI (great price I wish it did)
- Apple Mini Displayport adapter did work, but would only work with certain USB + Display port combos.
The thing that was tripping me up was that two of the Dual DVI-D cords were bad. Once I found the working cord, it was easier to find the working adapter. The experience I did find to be a frustrating / expensive one. However, the Monitor itself is beautiful.
Hopefully this helps someone else..

Dual 2560x1440 monitors on MacBook Pro
Hello,
Will the current 15" Retina MacBook Pro support 2560x1440 resolution through it's HDMI port? I would like to run dual 2560x1440 resolution monitors and would like to power one via Display Port and the other via the HDMI port if it's possible.
I did see Using 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with Mac computers - Apple Support but was not sure if anything between 1920x1200 and 3840x2160 would work.
Thanks!Can't OP run one display from each of the Thunderbolt connections on his MacBook Pro Retina machine (with the thunderbolt to whatever adapter) OR the HDMI? MacTracker says "support for two Thunderbolt displays" in the "Memory and Graphics" tab.
I don't have one so not sure, but MacTracker is pretty good about this sort of stuff. Also OP might want to look at How to setup dual external monitors on a MacBook Pro 15" A1398? and am sure there are others.
Good luck....... -
Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)
I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's. The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays. The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays. The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display. I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter. I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop? Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
Am I missing anything? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

Dual external monitor setup?
I'd like to use dual external monitors, ideally also plus the laptop screen for a total of 3 monitors, with my new 5th gen 17" MBP. I hear that USB-to-DVI options out there due have very poor poor refresh rates and picture quality. I'd like to use the ViDock2 expresscard/34 setup, which is a full fledged external video card, http://www.villagetronic.com/vidock2/index.html, but I understand it only works with MBP gens 1-4. Anybody know any other multi-monitor solutions that work with gen 5, other than poor quality USB options? Anybody know why the ViDock2 doesn't work with the MBP 5th gen?
Check out the Matrox dual head and triple head units, marc.

My suspicion is that you will need the more expensive "DP" versions to operate effectively with the new model.

Dual 30" monitors - - best video card?
I’m a PC user - - please don’t throw rocks (or apples) at me - - and I want to replace my present dual 19” monitors with two Apple 30” ACDs - - side by side for a 5120x1600 desktop. My Windows box will accept a PCI-e x16 video card.
I’ve been considering either the nVidia Quadro FX 3500 or the ATI FireGL V7200.
Doe anybody have experience with either or both of these cards? Any suggestions as to other cards which will support two monitors that each require a dual-link DVI port?
Thanks,
-Nickit would seem to me that the obvious answer is one of the new NVidia 8800GTX cards. DX10 support, Open GL2.0, HDCP, some even have out of the box water cooling fittings if you need a cool / silent machine.
the cards you mentined are workstation class cards, which do have driver support for certain applications, but my take on workstation class cards is that they do not necessarily have the power of the new gaming cards (gaming is NVidia and ATI's focus, because of demand) and are much more expensive. I think that the driver support that is enjoyed with CAD/CAM products is opposite with general purpose software.
with the cost of the 8800GTX, it is almost a free experiment given the cost of FX cards to see if it works for you. my one suspicion is the immature drivers currently available for 8800 cards. that should be resolved pretty quickly, however. -
Connecting Thinkpad Yoga to Dual VGA Monitors
I recently received my Thinkpad Yoga, and would like to connect it to dual external monitors (I will only be using those two monitors, not the laptop monitor) that both have VGA connectors. My original thought was to get the Thinkpad Onelink Pro Dock but as near as I can tell that only has the DVI connectors on the back. I suppose I could get that, then get a DVI -> VGA connector, but just wanted to check in here to see if anybody else had any better / less complicated / less expensive solutions to this.
Many thanks,

Hi, I like to know if there is any one have experience using a dual DVI monitor kvm switch with Mac Pro successfully. I own a 'Uniclass' 2-port dual dvi kvm, so I can share the dual monitor with another Linux box. However, it works on the Linux box, but when I tried to switch to Mac Pro, all I can see it works just in the beginning before the OS X load, that is the grey apple and small spinning circle on primary monitor, then the monitor lost the signal.
If you have successful story, can you let me know which brand of kvm you are using? Thanks in advance.

I'm using a RATOC Systems switch with mine. It supports
dual monitors but I only have one monitor so i only use it
like that. The model I have doesn't seem to be available
in the USA. Only Japan where I live. Here's a analogue
switch that they make however. Two of these would probably
work if you don't mind going throught the analogue 15pin
conversion.
http://web1.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/RS-210c.html
I guess since that page is one of the few offerend in English
that it's available in the USA.
My RATOC KVM is dual monitor / KB / Mouse / Line-in / Line-out
for 4 PCs and cost about $150. Switchable either by a button
on the KVM Box or by a KB HotKey sequence. Mine is made
for PCs but it's working fine with the MacPro. -
Hi,
I am setting up a configuration with SA520W and 2 Wan, in load balancing. But I face a problem that I could not understand.
Traffic is HTTP, SIP and 2 servers.
Servers are for a VPN tunnel and a mail server with ActiveSync
Both services absolutely need port 443 on the external IP, and that's one of the dual wan reason.
The 2 wan are running, load balancing mode is enable and NAt routing in firewall tab as follow :
443 Enabled WAN LAN ALU_OpenVPN ALLOW always Any 192.168.0.150 WAN1 Always
443 Enabled WAN LAN ActiveSync ALLOW always Any 192.168.0.254 WAN2 Always
If load balanced
Port 443 is NOT routed from wan1 to 192.168.0.150
Port 443 is routed from wan2 to 192.168.0.254
If only WAN 1
Port 443 is routed from wan1 to 192.168.0.150
If only WAN 2
Port 443 is routed from wan2 to 192.168.0.254
In fact I did other testing and no port routing with WAN1 when load balancing is enable, even on port that is not used at all on Wan2.
With a FTP filezilla server, it's OK if on wan2, and it stop before logging if on a wan1 (on laod balancing, ok on both case if only one wan)
Firmware : latest 2.1.18
Any Clue ??Hello,
I confirm, there is a strange behaviour.
Simple test :
Dual Wan configured.
A FTP server on the LAN (192.168.0.254) port 21
Firewall , ipv4 config :
WAN to LAN FTP ALLOW always Any 192.168.0.254 WAN1
WAN to LAN FTP ALLOW always Any 192.168.0.254 WAN2
Then some testing using a FTP client outside the LAN, connection from Internet.
Then, changing ONLY the Wan Mode :
1/ Use only single WAN port : Dedicated WAN
==> FTP connect through WAN1
2/ Use only single WAN port : Optional WAN
==>FTP connect through WAN2
3/ Load Balancing
==>FTP connect through WAN1
==>FTP DO NOT connect through WAN1
Is that a bug or do I have some strange stuff somewhere ?
I will pick up another SA520W from stock, brand new, update the firmware, configure the 2 WAN (invering the 2 provider just in case) and do the same test. -
VPN and a Dual Wan router confusion
I am running a Border Manager 3.9 server with a Dual Wan router supplying the 2 ISPs load balancing to a single NIC on the Border Manager Server. I want to try setting up a VPN.
Whats the easiest most pain free way of doing this?

Hah! Well, inbound traffic in general can be problematical on a
dual-wan system.
Here you have two issues, if the router is like ones I've worked on.
First, load balancing. You can't (probably - this is based on my
experience) set up a static NAT of one of the public IP addresses to
the BM 'public' address and still load balance. My experience is that
as soon as you do that, it forces both inbound and outbound traffic
onto that particular WAN link, so it kills load balancing/failover.
Which means you need to do port forwarding on the router for all the
VPN ports. You will need TCP and UPD 353, and UPD 500 and 4500 inbound
(and replies outbound). If using a site-site VPN, you also need TCP
213 inbound.
You will have to configure the VPN address in BMgr to use one of the
WAN public IP's. The VPN will only work on that one WAN link.

Cisco RV042 - Dual Wan Load Balancing - Secure Site (HTTPS) Trouble
PID VID :
RV042 V03
Firmware Version :
v4.0.0.07-tm (Aug 19 2010 19:19:50)
Ever since I setup my RV042 with load balancing using the Dual Wan system I have had trouble staying connected to some secure sites. After doing some searching I found that the potential issue is the IP change mid session.
"http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r25537589-Cisco-RV042-can-not-use-load-balancing-for-some-web-sites"
Although my interface is significantly different I was able to find the same area in my RV042 admin area however, it doesn't seem to work.
System Management
> Dual Wan
In Wan 1 & Wan 2 I have HTTPS and HTTPS Secondary all forwarded to use Wan 2 under Protocol Binding
This however has not managed to do anything at all for my network and every computer conneceted experiences the same HTTPS irregularities at some websites.
I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is.
Both incoming connections are from the same service provider although the plans are different.
Any help with this would greatly help me stop losing my mind trying to fight with my website control panel for 10 minutes to just login and get something done.

Dual 4K Monitors on 2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro?
Sorry in advance if any of this has already been covered in another forum, but I've not been able to find it anywhere.
I'm looking into buying a pair of monitors for my Macbook Pro to run in clamshell mode. I have the late 2013 15 in Retina Macbook Pro with the dedicated 2GB Nvidia GT 750M graphics card. I know through online research that the computer is capable of driving two 2560x1440 monitors at 60 Hz, or a single 4K monitor at 60 Hz, however, I have yet to see confirmation of its ability to drive dual 4K monitors at 60 Hz.
Has anyone else tried, or even thought about doing the same thing?I managed to get hold of Display port 1.2 cable and the issue doesn't occur with it.

Question from a partner:
Has Trend fixed the hosted issue with two WAN connections? It used to be that even though your device had dual WANs, Trend would only forward the emails to one of the connections. If it went down, you had to submit an email request to move it to the other connection and it could be 12-24 hours before it went into effect and 99 times out of 100, the original WAN port would be back online. It does slightly defeat the purpose of having Dual WANs if you cannot receive email in this day and age.
Any help out there?
ArtI got with Trend on this because I thought it was something very interesting....
here is what they said...
I think you’re talking about the same setup as a customer having 2 mail servers, right? If so we have had a solution for this for a while.
They want us to send email to 1.1.1.1, but if that is down, send it to 2.2.2.2.
They would use the MX record method.
A customer would need to create a hostname that points to two MX records.
Give the primary site IN MX 10 and the backup IN MX 20.
Then we change the IMHS configuration to use the hostname they created.
>cat imhs.multiple.customer.mailservers
Hello,
Our postfix servers will only allow us to configure 1 IP address or 1 hostname in our transport file to deliver email back to the customer. If the customer has 2 or more mail servers they want us to use, they will need to create a new hostname DNS entry and point it to their multiple servers.
If they want our servers to try to deliver the email to their mail servers in a specific order, say mailserver1 and if that server is not available then try to deliver the email to the mailserver2, then they would need to setup the following DNS entries as an example:
mailserver1.customerdomain.com. IN A 1.2.3.4
mailserver2.customerdomain.com. IN A 2.3.4.5
imhs.customerdomain.com. IN MX 10 mailserver1.customerdomain.com.
imhs.customerdomain.com. IN MX 20 mailserver2.customerdomain.com.
Then we setup our server to deliver to imhs.customerdomain.com.
customerdomain.com smtp:imhs.customerdomain.com:25
If a specific order is not important then they can just make imhs.customerdomain.com point to multiple IP addresses:
imhs.customerdomain.com. IN A 1.2.3.4
imhs.customerdomain.com. IN A 1.2.3.5
This will make our server send an email to 1.2.3.4 and the next email to 1.2.3.5, then to 1.2.3.4, etc.
Then we setup our server to deliver to imhs.customerdomain.com.
customerdomain.com smtp:[imhs.customerdomain.com]:25
Our servers will only deliver the email to the first server that will accept the email. They will not deliver the same email to both mail servers.
I hope that is detail enough,
Regards,
Nosa
