Plug and Play for Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch

Good day
what are the Auto-Install options available for the Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch ?
It would appear there are none, the operating system is not the standard IOS I'm used to.
Would like to use it with Cisco Prime Infrastructure's PnP Gateway capability.
Regards
Pierre

Prime Infrastructure uses and assumes a CNS (Cisco Network Services) agent on the other side when enabling "plug & play". 300/500 Series do not run IOS and does not include a CNS agent, but there is a way to enable auto-configuration. The switches support DHCP Autoconfiguration (using DHCP options 66, 67, and others) whereby they automatically download their config from a TFTP server at boot time. This allows an administrator to put the configs for all the switches on a TFTP server and simply boot a factory-defaulted switch in order to get its config.
Attached is a document showing how this is done.
Hope the information would be of assistance.

Web interface no loading in Cisco Small Business 300 Series

Hi everyone!
I have a Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches as a floor switch. It is working fine (apparently), but I can no longer get into the web interface to manage it. The web page load till 70% and stops loading. Can someone suggest a solution please?
Thanks

Hello,
I was hoping to see error :-) Bu it looks like you have a console access with no issue. Can you test web access when PC is directly connected to switch? Do you observe the same issue?

Cisco Small Business 300 VLAN Features?

Hi Everyone,
Please help me to understand some features of Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches. one of this is "Static routing/Layer 3 IP routing between VLANs allows for communicating across VLANs without degrading application performance" what is this means can i create VLAN or just VLAN can pass thrue this kind of switch? how about this feautres from Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches " The ability to set up virtual LANs soemployees are connected by organizational functions, project teams, or applications rather than on a physical or geographical basis" what is the difference of this features of this different model of switches? thanks...
Raffy

Raffy,
This switch is a layer2 or a layer 3 switch, which ever you set it to.
If you have it in layer 3 mode the switch can do routing between vlans. If in layer 2, you can setup a trunk port to a router that understands vlans and allow inter-vlan connectivity that way.
Its based on what your router can do. If your router understands vlans, then you can leave it in layer 2 mode and create your vlans and trunk to the router.
If it does not understand vlan tagging, you can put the switch in layer 3 and put an ip address on the vlan interfaces and let the switch be the gateway for the vlans. Then the switch will do the routing from one vlan to the other.

Re: NB200 - Automatic plug and play for Ethernet cable

Do you know why I do not have automatic plug and play when I connect an ethernet cable for internet on my NB200?

Hey mate,
Which automatic configuration you mean exactly?
Normally nothing is plug and play. If you want an Internet connection via Ethernet cable you have configure this port. That means you have to set a static IP address for example or DHCP.

Universal plug and play for iMac

I'm presently using TVMOBiLIi (Universal plug n play) and T Link extenders to enable our iMac (upstairs) to stream to our Sony Bravia TV (downstairs) enabling access to the internet via cat 5 network cable. Mainly used to watch iPlayer on our telly.
We keep getting alerts for TVMOBiLi to say our streaming limit has been capped. How do others stream without problems? Do you use another universal plug n play software?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. The ISP isn't limiting the bandwidth as I can still access the internet, The message is from TVMOBiLIi within the TVMOBiLIi screen but I can still access iPlayer anyway. I was hoping to find a recommendation for another upnp, also have EyeConnect. It doesn't seem Windows users have this kind of problem.

Accounting on a Cisco Small Business SF300-08

Hello,
The "Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches Administration Guide" and the data sheet indicate that this switch can do accounting requests with a Radius server. On the SF300 switch interface/CLI, there is only the authentication port, the accounting port can not be set (and nothing is sent by the switch to the default port). I suppose that the SF300-08 does not handle accounting. Maybe I have to change for another model. Could you give me another model in the same range price ?
Thanks,
Laurent.

Hello Laurent, I am pleased the 1.2.5.70 has resolved this issue.
Please keep advisory the 1.2.5.70 firmware has also been pulled for now.
Pease note we have identified a potential issue with the 1.2.5.70 update for the Series 200, 300, and 500 switches. As a precautionary measure, we have taken down the 1.2.5.70 release while we determine the cause of the issue, severity, and scope. We will either re-post the release or post an updated version depending on the outcome of our analysis.

LMS 3.2 and Cisco Small Business Switches

Hi there,
I'm currently using LMS 3.2 to monitor my network. We've recently purchsed a few of the Cisco Small Business Switches, the SF 300-24 model to be exact. They're considered 'managed switches' (tho thier CLI is terrible) and I would like to monitor them in CWLMS. My problem is that once I add it to CS, it doesn't resolve to anything, just sits there as a blue box with a question mark. I'm assuming this means that these devices are not (currently) supported by LMS 3.2 - do you know if that will change, or how I can go about managing this device with LMS 3.2?
Thanks

Unfortunately that series of products is not supported in any version of LMS (or even Cisco Network Assistant - CNA).
Cisco provides the FindIt utility to manage them:

Hope this helps.

How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it? I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me. I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first. I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

Then I tried this with the VGA setup:

I contacted Samsung support and they said I needed to set the display settings to external display on the mac. I went to the display settings and moved the icon to my status bar. When I click on search for displays or whatever it says (I'm not at my Mac right now) it does nothing.
What am I missing?

I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

I have a new iPad Air. Can I use plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak. I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity to have everything on that I'd like for the kids

Can I use a plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak? I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity on the iPad to have everything on that I'd like for the kids.
So basically I want a hard drive with X amount of films etc on. Can I then watch them on my iPad?
Hope this makes sense.

External HDD won't work.
You need something like this:

My classics IPOD has died over the weekend and I plan to but an IPOD Touch -- but need to to 'work' and simply sync all my 'old' music on a plug and play basis -- or is that wishful thinking ? I need it urgently for a holiday so only time to buy it n run

Any advice on :
1. The Touch as a product
2. The likely chances of plug and play resync to new device without hours of 'fiddling' / support calls
or I can just use my Shuffle I guess ----

There should be no problems, make sure to have all the needed software updates for Windows and the new iTunes 10.5 installed before connecting your iPod touch.
You already know how the basic sync process is working, there are a few more features added like mail for example: iOS: Syncing with iTunes

Help file for the Plug and Play driver of Agilent Technologies E5071C

I just download the Plug and Play driver of Agilent Technologies E5071C from the below link:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=5692
I find that there is only some examples and not any help file with detail description for each input of those VIs. Although there is brief description for each VI when I press "Ctrl+H" on the VI,I still can't figure out how to use this driver. :-(
Is there any help files with more detail description?
Or any related examples for my reference? I hope to measure the S11 and S21 of the SMA cables

The driver implements the commands defined by agilent.
So look in the agilent programmers manual to find the meaning and how to handle the instrument.
greetings from the Netherlands

Is the 595759-001 DVD burner for Elitebook 8540p plug and play

I have a DVD ROM player, only, in my Elitebook 8540P, and I just ordered a DVD writer (595759-001) to replace it with. Do I just install the hardware? Is this going to be a plug and play experience, or do I need to locate drivers for the replacement? Do I need to uninstall the driver for the original DVD ROM?

Hi, The driver for any optical drive is provided by Windows, so you should just have to connect the new device, however it can sometimes avoid any issue by doing this as follows. Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run box type devmgmt.msc and hit enter. Expand DVD/CD=ROM drives, right click the existing device and select Uninstall. When done, shutdown the notebook and fit the new optical drive. When you then boot Windows, give it a few minutes to fully load and you should find the new drive is up and running. Regards, DP-K

Apple plug-and-play driver for AOC monitor

I just purchased a new 23" AOC monitor to "clamshell" with my macbook. I have purchased the appropriate cables to connect with my macbook to discover that the monitor software doesnt have a mac driver and the AOC website says to download a Mac Plug and Play driver to work with the monitor. The monitor turns on but mirrors my macbook and jumbles up my desktop. I am unable to locate one of these "drivers" with apple's help. Is anyone familiar with this issue that might be able to recommend a solution? I would hate to take my brand new monitor back.

I just got my new MacBook 15 the other day and today decided to set it up wiht my AOC E2251Swdn monitor. Black monitor screen. Grrrr. It worked fine with my old laptop (mid 2007). I got the mini dv adapter as I saw it didn't have the DVI port I'm used to seeing. However, the monitor when I got it only came with the old school VGA cord, not a DVI, thank goodness I finally had a use for the one that must have originally come with the previous laptop, and that worked just fine. Right now I have the VGA cable with the DVI apple adapter then plugged into the DVI to Thunderbolt adapter. Could this cord issue be why my monitor claims no signal no matter what I do?
Also, when I looked for drivers and click the link in the post above, it downloads a folder for drivers, however, I dont' know what to do with the files in that folder (2251w.cat, 2251w.icm and 2251w.INF). I have a hunch they are windows only.
If I need to get a strictly DVI cable I can do that, but would like to know if that's likely my problem before I buy it. The monitor is only about 2 months old give or take.
Thank you in advance

Cisco Small Business Pro Switch pricing...

As a very long time Linksys user I am not totally unhappy that the Linksys name is no longer part of the product designation.
We provide IT management and support to many SME businesses. Part of our management functions on behalf of our clients is to ensure value for money. From a Linksys aspect, in the past this meant a trade-off between value (low-cost - a Linksys benefit) and reliability and stability.
On the one hand, we continuously had to monitor and test firmware upgrades before implementation. On the other hand we have many clients still running netwrok VPNs on 6 year old BEFVP41 units with no outages at all due to the equipment...
With this experience in mind, we are anticipating that the Small Business Pro equipment is likely to be fully specified and tested, for which we will gladly recommend to our clients the higher prices commensurate with that reliability and stability.
From this perspective, we have tested the SA520 and the AP541N and the initial results are favorable - they appear to be an improvement on the Linksys RVS4000 and the RV042. Pricing is higher, but not exorbitantly so.
When looking at the switch pricing, however, I was unimpressed to find that the 24 port Gigabit switch is north of $1,300 - amost 3 times the price of the SRW2024.
I realize that pricing is a corporate decision by Cisco - and I have no doubt that they do not want to have their Small Business Pro series cannibalizing the corporate switch sales. However, we cannot recommend this to client management as it is excessive. Given that we set the standards for all of our clients (and ALL of our clients are currently using LInksys products as an exclusive standard - we do not permit any other networking equipment), our choice is difficult:
Do we stick with the Cisco Small Business Pro for the WAN aspects of client networks and evaluate other vendors for the LAN elements?
Given that we have been badly burned by both Linksys One and Microsoft ResponsePoint, we specifically no longer specify IP voice systems by network vendors, so any infrastructure-specific advantages in this regard are not an issue.
Any other perspectives on this?

The Small Business Pro ESW 500 Switches actually differ from their Linksys and Cisco Small Business counterparts by these features:
Better interoperability with Cisco and Cisco Small Business Pro products
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
EtherChannel
Cisco Configuration Assistant configurability and manageability
Integration with the Cisco Smart Business Communication System (SBCS) solution
Smartport roles for easy configuration of switchports, both in the ESW Web GUI and in the Cisco Configuration Assistant program
Ability to connect Cisco Unified IP Phones into an ESW switch as part of a SBCS deployment
ESW 500 switches have a higher level of support than the Linksys and Small Business counterparts because Cisco Small Business Pro Service is offered on the ESW 500 switches
The ESW 500 Web GUI is actually similar to the GUI found on the Linksys and Cisco Small Business counterparts. ESW 500 might actually be a better option with the SA500 because:
CCA 2.2(1) and later can manage the SA500, the AP541N, and the ESW 500 switches, even if they are deployed outside of the SBCS solution.
Cisco Small Business Pro Service is available on ESW switches, but not on Linksys or Cisco Small Business products
