Route Server Software/Recommendations

I am trying to identify a more robust BGP solution for a customer's network. We currently have a need to increase the number of BGP sessions we can handle and I am interested in hearing any experience that can be shared related to setting up and maintaining route servers. I have googled extensively and have found very little information on what software packages are better then the other, etc. Does cisco have a software solution for this outside of the traditional IOS offerings?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James

Thanks for the responses, guys, I really appreciate it.
All three of you mentioned CCC, and I've seen it spoken of highly in other places as well. I decided to take the plunge and try it out. Setup and configuration was a snap, and it appears to be running regular backups just like I wanted. Obviously it lacks the "cool" interface of Time Machine, but if it's reliable then I don't really care. I especially like the options for configuring e-mail notifications of errors. That was one of my big gripes about Time Machine... when it would go off to la-la land and quit working, there was no notice--not even errors in the error log. I would only find out backups had stopped and been down when I would logon and check the icon.
Of course, I won't really know if CCC works until I have to do a restore, but I've checked its output closely and it not only appears to be getting everything, it also preserve the ACLs which I think were a part of the reason my iPhoto library didn't work after restoring it from Time Machine.
Anyhow, again, my thanks to you guys for taking the time to response with your advice and experience. If anyone else looks in on this thread, I can add my recommendation for CCC!

  • What anti-virus server software is available?

    I've got OS X Server 10.4.8 running, with clamav doing its thing, and quite well. However, I was wondering what third party AV software is available to be the primary scanner?
    The reason is that while blocking infected mail has been good, I'd like a system that will intercept and clean files (normally macro virus stuff) and pass them along to the recipient.
    Currently users are trying to email files, and when they get blocked they iChat them instead, spreading the infection.
    I couldn't find any server software on Symantec or McAfee's sites.

    Hello,
    Symantec recommends that you use the same Symantec AV software for clients and servers. They do not have any specific AV software for Mac OS X Server. http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/products/overview.jsp?pcid=1008&pvid=825_1
    Intego has Virus Barrier Server and Virus Barrier Mail Gateway for file and mail servers respectively (released Sept. 2006). Located at http://www.intego.com/vbserver/
    Sophos has Sophos Anti Virus available. http://www.sophos.com/products/es/endpoint/sav-mac.html Like Symantec it is the same software for client and server.
    McAfee also only has one solution for clients and servers. http://www.mcafee.com/us/enterprise/products/antivirus/file_serversdesktops/virex.html
    Intego's products are fairly recent September 2006 so I don't know how much experience there is with their products out there.
    Hope that gives you a brief overview of the products available.
    As for your current issue, you can take four approaches (although I am sure there are more).
    1. AV software on the clients stopping macro viruses on the desktops
    2. AV software on a file server and use network home directories (also stopping viruses at the client level)
    3. Intego's Virus Barrier Mail Gateway on your mail gateway
    4. Network appliance based Anti-Virus gateway and route mail through it

  • Can Server Software  be installed & Running without My knowledge/Consent

    Hi, Please excuse my naivitee. I am running an old but fast G4 tower on alocal network with little sharing. After a clean install and using software update, I am seeing a repeated attempt to download and install OSX Server software throughthe logs, particulArly thE INSTALL LOGS.I don't really care to wake up one morning to learn that I've suddenly become another OS X server.

  • Server Software - No more Deny Permission Feature!!??

    So unfortunately the new Server software for Mountain Lion no longer offers the "Deny" permission option. I'm currently using my Mac tower to host specific folders and sharing them via FTP. You used to be able to "Deny" others from seeing folders you didn't want them to see. Now when people log in via FTP, they can see all the other folders that are currently in my share point. Granted I haven't given them read and write permissions to the other folders so all they can do is "see" them, and can't actually open and access them.
    Has anyone found a workaround for this? Apple care said I can do a "chmod" function in Terminal but I'm not really code savvy and don't feel like going this route if I don't have to.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Rick,
    Well, there is one way to get your hands on the "delta" installer packages. Normally, the packages are downloaded, installed, then deleted. However, you can select "Download updates automatically" in the Software Updates preferences. With this option selected, updates will be downloaded in the background whenever new updates are available. When the download is complete, you will be prompted to install them.
    Instead of installing right away, you can then find the packages and copy them to some other location.
    A better solution might be to download updates manually. They can be found here.

  • Is there Time machine compatible PC server software?

    I'm a photographer and running a dual hard drive Macbook Pro and I've reached the point where my NAS backup drive is not big enough for Time Machine to backup to. In order for me to upgrade the backup drive I'm looking at about £500 ($750) as I need one big enough not just big enough.
    I have an old PC that is currently running Windows Server and is connected to my network, which obviously isn't Time Machine compatible. As buying HDD is cheaper than pre-boxed NAS drives, I wanted to use this instead.
    Is there any server software that is compatible with Time Machine and I can use to build a home server? If not, I'd best start saving and hope my laptop doesn't crash or get stolen.
    Thanks in advance.

    No, there's no supported means to target archival storage onto a Windows box with Time Machine. 
    As you're likely aware, Time Machine only supports specific devices as targets, and the file server are currently OS X Server, Time Capsule devices, and the most recent generation of AirPort Extreme devices with attached disks.  Not Windows Server boxes, Linux or other gear.
    More than a few folks and a few discussions and various hackery have allowed random devices to appear to work (and it's possible your NAS device has seen this same hackery), but whether those configurations will continue to work or will react appropriately during the inevitable network and device glitches is very far from certain.  Among these sequences, whole-disk installs and related system restorations are key, but are also something that doesn't necessarily get thoroughly tested.
    A Mac Mini running OS X Server can host a fair amount of connected storage, if you decide to replace or supplement your NAS.
    For more information on Time Machine, start reading here.
    It is possible to roll your own backups and to use third-party tools to perform the backups onto remote devices, and one of the more common recommendations here are based on a command line tool known as rsync.  Copy your files over, and either acquire or custom-create your own archival processing.  (If you're interested, search for previous discussions of rsync and backups for some of the available options, and there are tools and scripts available.  rsync is pretty ugly to get going initially — it's arcane — but it works pretty well, and various folks have already figured out the syntax and posted example scripts.)  Carbon Copy Cloner is an alternative to Time Machine, and there are others.
    On the subject of creating your own custom software for these and related tasks, it's also possible to use software that targets photo studios and their related processing, and that manages the photos and videos and other assets, and that can manage backups and related processing, and various of these will deal with reprints and purchases and related.  That's a bit further along than a backup device or a Time Machine backup, but it's something that might replace the requirements.  (You probably don't care nearly as much about OS X and most other stuff here as that can be re-downloaded or reinstalled, it's your photos and your customer data that are key here, and that are not replaceable.  That stuff is the core target for your backups.)

  • TV don't work with OSX Server software?

    Everything worked great BEFORE I updated our MacMini Intel to OSX Server software, now iTunes can't find the recent found Apple TV. And therefore the connection is gone and the syncing don't work anymore.
    Any work-around or suggestions on how to solve this?
    Or do I have to revert to previus userversion of OSX to make it work again?
    Is there a limitation built into OSX Server software or is there maybe some kind of firewall / preferences etc that needs to be adjusted? (The built in firewall has been disconnected.)
    FYI:
    All apps are up to date. The Mac Mini + Apple TV is on my local network at home and I'm trying to make it my family's digital hub for all family-related media.

    1) I've not tried to reset ATV from scratch. But it works fine on other Mac's on the network (sharing).
    2) Security options, yes I belive so to. I've followed all instructions and opened all ports I've seen mentioned i apples Knowledge database / support. Still don't work. Maybe I've missed some ports...
    3) YES! It works fine sharing the MacMinis lib over the network.
    4) Today I also tried to reinstall iTunes. But no luck.
    Any mor suggestions anyone? Thx
    I really wanny solve this, otherwhise my ATV is pretty useless for me...

  • How to configure a Windows machine with any vnc server software for ARD

    I need someone to direct me in the right direction to configure and install any vnc server software so that I can control a windows machine with ARD like I control the rest of my macs in the lab. I need some suggestions as to the best and easiest software to configure and the correct settings to get the machine to be able to show in ARD. Thanks

    Sort of. I found this article below that helped me to connect to the remote CF server using MXML. It seems that you have to create a regular project in Flex with Aplication Server Type set to None and connect to CF using the endpoint attribute of the RemoteObject MXML tag or via AS.
    http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/200
    However I found out after getting error using the AS3 code to use the endpoint property that
    mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject does not support  the "endpoint" property
    whereas mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject does. See link below
    http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html//www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html
    So I had to change my AS3 code by adding a new channel to my RemoteObject using a code similar to the one on the link below (Note that this code uses PHP, when I instantiate myRemoteObject, I do so informing that the destination is "ColdFusion" [new RemoteObject("ColdFusion")], so no need to set destination as in the code on the link below

    I have seen this behavior when trying to modify the default certificate. It will not allow the key length to changed from 1024 to 2048. However, when creating a completely new certificate I have never had this issue.

    While I love my BlackBerry Curve phone (and will most likely never go back to a phone running Windows Mobile OS), something that drives me absolutely crazy is the inability of the Desktop Manager software to monitor my activity in the Outlook client and autosync changes while my phone is connected via USB.

  • Collaboration Server Software?

    As a solution provider company, using a multi-user environment, collaboration is of course important. Allowing 'users' to see and text/chat with eachother is fundimental in a 3D environment.
    Using Director 11.5 for the first time to create a 3D web-based environment, having control/ownership of the collaborative server software, so it can be deployed with the environment, and or, allowing your userbase use of your own collaborative server, I am confused how this is implimented in Director 11.5.
    Our direction is to use a XMPP deployable server access to our userbase, or our own inhouse C based collaborative software. This controls 'Instances' of the environment to control the amount of users in an environment, and text/chat collaboration within each Instance, amongst other forms of functionality.
    My question is... can we use our own collaborative server software, that meets the api's of Director for interactivity between instances of the environments, and control of those environments, for say password/username entry into those instances? Or are we bound to use only a bespoke collaboration system provided by Adobe/Director?

    Check out http://opensmus.sourceforge.net/
    "OpenSMUS is a server application that runs on Linux, Solaris, MacOSX, FreeBSD and almost any Java-enabled operational system. OpenSMUS is 100% compatible with the Shockwave MultiUser protocol published by Macromedia, so movies authored for the Shockwave MultiUserServer version 2 and 3 can connect seamlessly to an OpenSMUS server, without modifications."
    Of note is that it connects to any DB via JBDC drivers, and can also link in with custom Java functions too - in addition to the Director communication.

  • What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?

    What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
    We have looked at a few different applications out there (Rumpus, CrushFTP, etc...) and are wondering what the community feels.
    Apples built -in isn't robust enough. We do need some advanced features (reporting, SFTP, a web interface would be nice etc...).
    Opinions?

    Hi
    For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
    http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
    It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

  • Solaris 10, Sun Ray Server Software

    Hi,
    I installed Solaris 10 on my x86 machine and managed to get it (eventually!) configured with a static IP etc.
    I then began the install of Sun Ray Server Software and the first part went well. I then performed a reboot as requested using
    sync;sync;init 6As this occured i spotted an error saying gzip problem due to not enough space when doing something with the boot_archive. I have since not been able to reboot my machine as I get Error 28: Selected Item cannot fit into memory etc. I found an article on the forums saying log in using the cd to a single user shell, rename the boot_archive to boot_archive.disabled and reboot. This has not had any affect. When rebooting the same error about gzip and space occured and then the error 28 appered. I tried this several times to no avail - once not getting the error 28 but the system not booting and freezing on teh grub window.
    Any ideas?!
    Regards

    I am not familiar with the boot_archive bit but I have used srss for ages without a problem like that. What kind of system is it on?

  • Query on Topology for working with Routing Server

    Hi,
    We have just started working with Routing Engine. We have a sample street data. For working with routing server, whether we need the topology to be built?
    If we have a topology can we use with routing server?
    In this request for un-geocoded addresses
    <start_location>
    <input_location id="1">
    <input_address>
    <us_form1 street="4001 E Bay Dr" lastline="largo, fl" />

    What does this street and lastline mean. Which table its referring?
    Can you help me out in this problem?
    Thanks and regards
    Aravindan

    The routing engine requires data in a particular form. It does require a node and edge table as well as oher information.
    In appendix c of the 10g Release 2 documentation is a description of the tables and the XML elements (such as us_form1, street, lastline, etc) required for the routing engine. If you have data that can be massaged into this format then you can do the massaging and load and use it.
    Hope this helps,

    I have a Samsung S2 and I use the following settings for a POP3 account. The only difference for you if you want to use IMAP should be changing the incoming port to 993:
    Incomiing Settings:
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: xxxxxxx
    POP3 server: mail.btinternet.com
    Security Type: SSL
    Port: 995
    Outgoing Settings:
    SMTP server: mail.btinternet.com
    Security type: SSL
    Port: 465
    Require sign in: Ticked
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: xxxxxx
    If they don't work I would delete the account, restart the phone then try and set it up again. You should be given the option to set it up manually. Use that option rather than letting the wizard do it and when entering username and password make sure that they are spelt correctly and they are case sensitive.
    If it still does not work for you can you download Aquamail mail client from the Play Store and set it up to see if it works.
