SG 300 10 - Multicast with multiple switches in LAN

Hi there,
I have short question concerning Multicast in my LAN. My internet router acts as an IGMP Proxy for the LAN and distributes IPTV there. The router is connected to one of my three SG 300 10 Cisco switches (connected to one another via uplink port). Now I want all switches to send multicast traffic to only the recipients of such traffic (PCs with VLC and Network Media Players) connected to either one of them. How do I have to configure the switches to do so and not flood the LAN with multicast traffic, is it enough to enable IGMP Snooping on each switch?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Christoph

Hi Christopher, by the default the switch will treat multicast traffic like a broadcast until you enable the Bridge Multicast Filter and IGMP snooping.
Navigate to; Multicast -> Properties and enable the Bridge Multicast Filtering
Navigate IGMP snooping -> Enable
Multicast -> Multicast Router Port
Then make sure to specify the mrouter port (which must be a member of a static vlan, not a dynamic vlan)

Handshaking DMM with multiple Switch devices - DAQmx error

Hi.
I'm trying to create a handshaking loop with DMM (PXI-4071), SWITCH (PXI-2569) and MUX (PXI-2575). All three instruments are in segment 2 of PXI-1045 chassis (slots 8, 9 and 10) and I am using PXI trigger lanes to route triggers.
I followed the NI article 'Multi-module Scanning with National Instruments Switches' - I modified the NI SWITCH example 'niSwitchDMMSwitchHandshaking' to configure the other SWITCH but when I tried to run the example, I got an error:
0xbffa6b9a - No registered lines could be found between the device in the route. (pop-up screenshot is in the attachment). It is the niSwitch_InitiateScan function for the second Switch that returned the error.
Changing PIX trigger lanes has no effect.
I tried both CVI and LabVIEW examples with the same result.
I even tried to use two 2575 MUXes - same result.
Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong?
Solved!

Hi Pavel,
For the purposes of this post, I'll define
the measurement complete signal (sent by the DMM to the switch modules
after each measurement) as 'MC' and place it on TTL0.
For the
purposes of this post, I'll define the scan advanced signal (sent by the
switch module(s) to the DMM once the relays have settled) as 'SA' and place
it on TTL1.
You mentioned you're using NI-Switch, which is NI's IVI
compliant switch API. Since the IVI Foundation regulates the behavior
of IVI compliant software, we must adhere to their rules when
implementing our API. Unfortunately, the IVI switch standard doesn't
provide a method to control arbiting of triggers between multiple switch modules
simultaneously.
Let's
look at what happens when we setup a system with multiple switch
modules handshaking with a single DMM. The DMM is going to take a
measurement and then send MC on TTL0. Meanwhile, each switch is listening to TTL0,
waiting for the MC pulse. When the MC pulse is received, each switch sets
the relays according to its next scan list entry, waits for debounce,
and then sends SA on TTL1. The problem we run into here is that depending on the switch module, number of relays connected simultaneously, jitter, etc, it's possible that one module will send the SA trigger on TTL1 before the other. Since the IVI spec doesn't provide any way to implement a 'master' switch or an arbitor, it's impossible to implement a system such that only the last switch that settles sends a trigger. Therefore, what happens is we get a whole bunch of switch modules sending triggers at slightly different times onto TTL1. If one switch is driving TTL1 high while the others are driving TTL1 lo, it's remotely possible that we could damage the TTL circuitry on the PXI backplane.
To date, NI hasn't seen any failures due to simultaneously driving the TTL lines high and low at the same time with NI switch hardware, but it is theoretically possible that damage could occur. For this reason, NI implemented a change in DAQmx
9.0.0, 9.0.1, and
9.0.2 that prevents a user from setting up handshaking with multiple switch modules while using NI-Switch. What does DAQmx have to do with this, you might ask? A component installed with DAQmx is responsible for verifying the triggers are valid.
Customers with existing NI-Switch multi-module handshaking applications will find that upon upgrading to any of the above three versions of DAQmx, the error you observed will occur. We've evaluated this customer feedback and have decided to revert to the previous functionality in a yet-to-be released version of DAQmx. Please note that NI does not advise driving the same TTL line with multiple sources due to the chance that we'll double-drive the line. Therefore, it goes with out saying that NI does not advise using NI-Switch in multi-module handshaking applications. We do, however, still recommend NI-Switch for Syncrhonous triggering because the switches never send triggers (in synchronous mode, the DMM just waits a predefined amount of time before switching).
Note that if you use the DAQmx Switch API, we're no longer bound to the IVI spec, which means we have an arbitor that ensures only one switch module drives the SA trigger on TTL1. NI highly recommends that customers evaluate using the DAQmx switching API for multi-switch handshaking applications. An example DAQmx handshaking application for the DAQmx Switch API is located in Example Finder»Hardware Input and Output»DAQmx»Switches»Switch Scanning with DMM - Handshaking.vi.
Note that in DAQmx, we'll only have one scan list, regardless of the number of switches we have. Note that the syntax in DAQmx scanning is different than NI-Switch. I'll defer a detailed explanation of the differences to the DAQmx and NI-Switch Help (search for 'scan list'), but in short, we'll need to include the DAQmx Device name prior to each connection. For example, in NI-Switch, if we want to connect CH1 to Com1:
CH1->Com1;
In DAQmx, we'll need to include the Device name:
Dev1\CH1->Com1;
Note that to add additional switch modules in the DAQmx API, we simply
call the Set Topology and Reset VI multiple times:
DAQmx keeps the
session loaded in memory and as I noted above; we define which switch
does the action as part of the scan list entry.
If you'd still like to use NI-Switch, you could roll back to DAQmx 8.9.5 or previous, or if you want to stick with 9.0.x, I highly recommend that we daisy chain the triggers as follows:
DMM Measurement Complete to Advance Trigger on Switch1 via TTL0
Scan Advance from Switch1 to Advance Trigger on Switch2 via TTL1
Scan Advance from Switch2 to Trigger Source on DMM via TTL2
Note that we'll need an additional TTL line for each switch module. Also note that some switch modules allow front panel triggers, which reduces the number of TTL lines we'll need on the backplane, but which requires external wiring between switch modules.

Multiple Minis with Multiple Switched Monitors Losing Monitor 2

Hi.
I am working on an installation with six new Mac Mini's (Lion) and we are using dual screen HDMI outputs on both. The Monitor 2 (HDMI) output goes to the display screen "on stage" and the Monitor 1 (Thunderbolt to HDMI) output goes to a local HDMI switched monitor for local viewing and programming. The problem is that when we switch the local monitor from Mac 1 to Mac 2 and then back to Mac 1, Mac 1 will have lost its connection to Monitor 2, defaulting back to Single Monitor Output. Changing the monitor arrangement is not an option.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks.

When you switch the monitor away from a particular Mac, that Mac no longer receives a signal back from the monitor. The Mac then assumes it has been disconnected which in reality is true. The Mac therefore reconfigures itself accordingly.
In some circumstances like yours, and more commonly people using a TV as a display via an AV Receiver, this can be counter to what is desired. There is a solution but it is not free, Gefen make a device called a HDMI Detective which 'learns' the signal the TV sends, and then will keep sending it to the Mac even when the TV (or monitor) is disconnected. They also make a DVI version see http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=8005 and http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=4715
It should be noted that if you are running audio via HDMI, then when the Mac loses the HDMI connection it also resets the sound to go via the built-in speaker. The Gefen HDMI Detective Plus also solves this.

NIC Teaming/Bonding with multiple switches.

Today I started setting up in my lab a network with redundant Cisco 2970 switches. The hosts are two HP DL145 servers with two broadcom GBe NICs. The systems are running Linux 2.6.15.1 and I have enabled bonding in the kernel as a module.
Each NIC is plugged into a different switch, and the switches are NOT connected together using ISL or any other method. For all intents they operate as single switches. Each switch is in turn connected to a switch on which my gateway is located.
I have the configuration working using mode 0 (balance-rr). Using tcpdump on the underlying slave interfaces, I can see that packets are in fact being sent out over both interfaces, and that odd sequence numbers are sent on if0 and even numbers are sent on if1. If I unplug one of the interfaces, the bonding driver marks it as down, and stops sending data on that interface. When plugged back in, data transmission is resumed. Furthermore, when using the bonding driver's arp monitoring of the default gateway, unplugging a switch from the upstream switch causes the interface connected to that switch to fail.
My question is if this is a "supported" configuration and/or if there is a better way to make this work.
Furthermore, my next test is to add a PIX 515UR to the mix, and figure out how to connect IT to both switches.
I cannot find any information about how to bond or team interfaces on the PIX, can it do something like this?

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

Get relay position (multiple) with NI-Switch

Hello All,
Working with NI-Switch again to configure multiplexer instrument cards, and noticed a difference between NI-Switch and DAQmx-Switches. Could someone tell me how to configure the NI-Switch function "get relay position" for multiple relays? The DAQmx Switches equivalent to this functiion can accomplish it, but I don't see how to do it with NI-Switch. Please advise. Thanks.
GSinMN

GSinMN,
Unfortunatly, you are unable to call multiple relays using this NI-SWITCH function. Instead try to call this in a for loop. There is a KnowledgeBase Article about this, Get Relay Position, which states "You will have to call this VI repeatedly to get the relay position of multiple relays. To return all relay positions with one call, you can use DAQmx Switch Get Relay Position.vi from the NI-DAQmx API."

How do I hard wire multiple airport expresses with a switch

I have two airport expresses and other hardwired devices. I am trying to get them wired together for a roaming network not to extend the network, but can't seem to get it to work with a switch.
Here is the setup Modem -> Airport Express -> 5 ports switch -> one of the ports is ran to an airport express. What I'm trying to determine is if the airport device needs to be physically plugged in to the other airport to create a roaming network or can it be ran through a switch. Notice the dotted line vs the solid line. Now obviously because I found the picture on the internet, I only have two devices not 3.
Here is mine:
Here is what i'm trying accomplish. (Image from: http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345142&d=1340677218)

If you have a simple modem.....then you must connect the modem directly to an AirPort....then connect the switch to the AirPort and then connect other AirPorts and devices to the switch. So, it would look like this:
Internet > Simple Modem > AirPort > Switch > Other Devices
If you have a modem/router or gateway type of device.....then you can connect the switch to the modem/router or gateway.....and then connect the AirPorts to the switch. In this case, things would look like this:
Internet > Modem/Router (Gateway) > Switch > AirPorts and other Devices
So, before we go further with this, it is important to understand what type of modem that you have, as it will dictate what you can and cannot do on the network.
What is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

Issue with multiple application installation and server share

Hi,
SCCM 2007 SP2 R3 ICP2
All servers W2K8R2
I am having an issue with software installs. When using a variable for multiple applciation installs, I get access errors when the applications go to install. It appears to be a multiple connection issue, but I can't figure out why.
I am using server shares for my DPs. The proper permissions are set. The servers (DP) are W2K8R2. I think it has to do with the way R2 handles the conenctions. I want to know if this is a known issue or if anyone has come accross
it.
I am going to post in the software distribution forum as well, but thought this would be a config question.

Hi! I'm waking up this dead thread but I've got a *very* similar problem!
I've got a SCCM 2007 SP2 R3 installation on Win2008. All clients are in the same ConfigMgr-site. Multiple package deploy in the same site-boundary as the CM-server works excellent. (We've got three DPs in the same site-boundary as the
CM-server itself.)
Now, we have a new site-boundary with it's own Protected DP where multiple package deploy fails
but the same packages, being run from the task-sequnce works! So then the client can download, install and run the packages from the proteced DP just fine. All "single" packages install fine before the "Multiple Appliaction"-step.
I've tripple checked that we're running the same packages when we're installing Multiple Packages as we do in the Task-Sequence. And
the same Task-sequence with the Multiple Package installation step
works fine in our site-boundary where the ConfigMgr-server is installed.
Here's the log from a client trying to access and install one of three packages through the the Install Multiple Packages task-sequence step.

I know that the TS checks package dependencies before executing the TS. That's not possible with Multiple packages since they are variable dependant. I think this is somehow related although it doesn't explain why my client can't authenticate properly.
The Network Access Account is a member of Domain Users and Domain Users have Read Access on the share and on the folder of the VAXCMDP01 DP - which should be identically configured to our other DPs closest to our ConfigMgr Server.
Any ideas?

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks

1 Apple TV 2nd Gen, Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts

The issue that I am having is I have 1 Apple TV 2nd Gen and Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts.
When I log onto my Windows user account, open up Itunes and turn on home sharing my Apple TV work perfect but if another family member switches to their Windows user account without logging me out, the home share shows up on Apple TV but it just says "Loading ... Library" and never loads.
If we switch back to my user account, restart iTunes, everything is fine. Is there a way to keep my home share active in ATV2 across multiple user accounts? All of my video is under my account.

You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time.

Time Machine with multiple users on single computer

Hi All,
I have an iMac at home with multiple user log ons. I'm about to get the Time Capsule and start using Time Machine (currently I use backup).
When I switch on Time Machine, does it switch on for all users, or will each user need to turn on Time Machine?
If I have to switch on Time Machine for each user, will each user's time machine back up the entire computer (so I'll have two complete copies on my computer on the external drive)?
If this does occur, can I control what Time Machine backs up so TM only backs up user specific information?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

When you first backup it will backup your whole system (user directories, system directories, applications, etc) unless you specify folders to exclude. When a user account is added to the computer, their home folder will be added to the backup in a similar way to if you added a new application. It will back up the directory structure exactly as it is on your main hard drive. The backup will essentially keep a copy of the whole hard drive on the backup drive.
The Time Machine will either be on for the whole system, or off for the whole system. It is not on or off for a specific user account. Users (depending on if they've got admin privileges) may have control over turning time machine on or off, but this does not change who can access the backups. All users will be able to invoke Time Machine to get to their backed up files.
Time Machine does not make separate backups for individual users. Instead, it preserves the permissions for backed up files, so while every user can access the backups, they cant just browse other users' files on the backup. The same restrictions on the main drive are carried over to the backup. Still, a standard user who's lost a file will be able to go into Time Machine, access a backed up version of the file, and restore it. Unlike standard users who are restricted from seeing other users' files in the backups, Admins are also restricted but they can be authenticated to view other users' files if they want to.

New 150/65 only at 94 Download AND Won't Work with Gigabit Switch

I just had this installed today, converting up from the 35/35, and ran into these two problems:
1. The 150 download is only resulting in a 94.87 Mpbs. The installer originally said it must be my PC NIC card, but I do have a GB card, so there's does not appear to be legitimate reason for the shortfall there. I tried to change the link speed and duplex from "auto negotation" to "1 Gbps Full Duplex," but then my computer no longer even could connect.
2. The second issue is that I have always run my connection through a D-Link DGS-2208 Gigabit Switch because I have multiple wired ethernet computers in my office. The installer wanted to test the connection speed directly through my computer (see above) and ran into problems, so I never even tried to revert to my original setup with the switch until he left. However, when I did the Gigabit switch does not even recognize any activity when I plug the source ethernet cord into the switch. It does recognize the connection to the PC and the port is lit, but no lights from connection to the wall.
Any thoughts on what the problems could be? I've included the "additional details" from the Fios Speed test at the standard site (can't get any details from the high speed version):

If your computer can't negotiate a 1Gbps connection, then that is what is limiting you to 94Mbps, which is about right for a "100Mbps" port.
There could be several reasons for this.
A bad NIC
A bad port on the switch
IMO, the most likely cause is a bad cable. 1Gbps requires all 4 pairs in the cable be connected. If only 2 of the 4 pairs are connected correctly, you will get a 100Mbps connect, but will not be able to connect at 1Gbps. Try replacing the cable with one known to work at 1Gbps.

Multiple iPods with Multiple computers

I have two iPods and each syncs with a different machine. Each has a unique music library. What would happen if I switched iPods. i.e. plugging two different iPods into one machine? Will they somehow merge the libraries, or will iTunes just complain that I'm confused.
Thanks,

Have a look at this article: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Also, before you connect an iPod that is currently linked to a different library, read this one: Using iPod with Multiple computers

Extending Guest Wifi with Multiple Base Stations

The 7.6.3 firmware update reports this new feature:
"The ability to extend the Guest Wi-Fi network on a network that is configured with multiple AirPort Base Stations"
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1617
I assumed that this meant that an Airport Express was able to "Extent" the guest wifi network. However, I am not able to get this to work. Having entered all the details I just get the orange light and the message that it was unable to extend the network - check the details. I have checked them multiple times and still not working. If I switch to extending the "main" network then it works first time, but does not extend the guest as far as I can see.
If I set up from scratch it picks up the guest network and tries to extend but then switches to the main wifi later in the process after claiming to extend the base station itself, not one of the wifi networks.
What does this update mean?! Has anyone managed to "extend the Guest Wi-Fi network" in any way?
All devices have been updated to 7.6.3 and all airport utilities have been updated to the latest version (6.2).
I am running an extreme as the main router then I have a number of expresses to extend round a large building, but it is the guest that needs extending!!
Any help would be much appreciated!

You need to have the "new" AirPort Express to be able to extend the Guest Network. The "new" Express looks like a miniature AirPort Extreme.
Check the Model No on the side of the AirPort Express devices that you have. If you see A1264 this is an older version of the Express that does not have Guest Network capabiltiy.
Using an AirPort Extreme and new AirPort Express here., the Guest Network "extends" just fine when I try this using wireless only. I also have another AirPort connected back to the main AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection. The Guest Network is extended on this device as well.
