SG300 recommended setup for single vlan

I have 4 SG300 switches running in their default configuration.
I have a single subnet and have been working just fine.
I tried expanding my subnet from a /24 to a /23 but am having trouble communicating between old and new parts of the subnet. Pings to the new part of the subnet work once or twice then stop.
What kind of setup is recommended for this? Apparently the default config is blocking traffic to the new addresses, but I don't know why.
I did verify that putting a single dumb switch in place fixes the problem. I thought the default config fo these switches basically acts like a dumb switch, but I guess not.
I also noticed that when pings stop going, if I look at the arp -a on the source PC, the MAC of the destination is a single Cisco brand Mac for ALL the devices on the new part of the subnet.
I do understand IOS Vlan setups, but I'm consfused by the GUI terminology. And don't know whether I can just continue using the single default VLAN or if I should create a new one.

Hello Chris,
One thing that stood out to me was you said you are unable to ping from the old part of the subnet to the new, by that do you mean from clients still in the /24 to the /23? Because they won't be able to communicate with each other unless the switch has a default gateway configured. The switch doesn't do any routing, so it has to send traffic for a different subnet to some sort of router that knows where that other network is.
There is a setting under Administration > Management Interface > IPv4 Interface. After you setup a static IP for the switch and change it's prefix length to 23 you can specify a default gateway for the switch. At that point (assuming your router is setup correctly) you should be able to ping from the /24 to the /23 addresses.
I got this info from page 257 of the admin guide, where there is a note about inter-subnet communication. That guide is available here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sf30x_sg30x/administration_guide/78-19308-01.pdf
I'm assuming however you will eventually be transitionin your entire network to /23, in which case just make sure everyone is on the same subnet mask and they will be able to communicate just fine, even without a router.
Hope that helps, but if I got something wrong somewhere let me know and I will take another look.

Recommended setup for live streaming of HD video and HE-AAC audio (5.1 channels)

Hi,
Could anybody please post a working hardware configuration for streaming HD video (720p) and 5.1 channel audio using HE-AAC via FMLE3?
What is your experience and what kind of professional equipment would you recommend (camera, capture card, type of cables used, PC specs incl. CPU and memory, etc.)?
I'm looking for a portable solution that ideally supports two concurrent streams (at different bit-rates) and multi-pass encoding (yes, I know that professional hardware supports that even for a live setting with a little delay).
FMLE (or is it Windows?) seems to be very picky as far as the recognition of HD data from specific input sources is concerned. Hence my question before investing into new hardware.
Thanks you.

Flash Player does not support 5.1 audio at this time, only 2 channel audio.
For what you describe, you may want to consider one of the streaming appliances or solutions from companies like ViewCast, Digital Rapids, or Inlet. ViewCast and Digital Rapids both offer portable appliances.
Flash Media Live Encoder does not support two-pass encoding, the only solution that I'm aware of that does this for Flash is Kulabyte that offers a 2-pass software solution as well as a complete solution with hardware.
If you use a capture card with FMLE you'll be fine with HD inputs, the problem seems to be with cameras that only offer HD source as MPEG-2 and FMLE only supports RAW input at this time.

I prefer to develop using latest CodeWarrior for NetWare, it has a good
IDE, provides a small C/C++ runtime library that does not overlap with
CLIB/LibC, and supports most C++ features I need. Not sure if it is
possible now to find/buy one though.
You can also use Open Watcom C/C++, it is a great compiler, and it gets
better and better with every release: www.openwatcom.org . It has an
IDE, support for STL, and even a debugger for NLMs :-)
Documentation for setting them up, and using other tools for NLM
development, is available as part of (1) NLM and NetWare Libraries for C
SDK,

What is icloud setup for Multiple users, multiple devices in family?

What would be the recommended setup for iCloud to allow family members with multiple devices and multiple iTune accounts to share purchases, sync there own mail account, contacts, and reminders with multiple devices, and be able to sync calenders with all family calendars? Or better yet how can family members pick and choose what to sync with a common iCloud account?

I'd like to know this to.
We have 1 mac mini that serves as a media station that streams audio to Zeppelin air and photos & movies to our TV.
My wife buys music on her iPhone. And takes pictures of the family.
I buy apps and music on my iPad. And make movies of the family.
I have a macbook pro ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
She has a nice macbook ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
What we would want is that the mac mini collects all music / videos / media and streams it to all our apple devices via wifi ( not via internet ). But I with my appleID and she with her appleID.
I wonder is Apple can make an GUInterface that I can understand to solve this.
This iCloud seems not too suited.
For families it would be easier if iOS5 would have 'home sharing' with upload and not transfer everything to CA first.

VLAN Setup for VMware

I'm new to creating VLANs on a Cisco switch, and I'm trying to create VLANs using the SG 300-10 for a VMware environment. I'd like to use Virtual Switch Tagging on the ESX hosts, so I can use many VLANs over few physical NICs. Plus using VST, I can just specify the VLAN ID (setup on the physical switch), on the port group for each VLAN.
I've changed the SG 300 to layer 3, as I'd like inter-routing between my VLANs. This is the type of setup I'm looking for:-
VLAN1 - Default
VLAN 10 (192.168.10.1) to 20 (192.168.20.1) linked to ports GE3 & GE4. I've connected port GE3 to ESX1 (vmnic2) and port GE4 to ESX2 (vmnic2)
The problem is when I check my physical network adapters (i.e. vmnic2) in vSphere, the IP Ranges for observed traffic in every VLAN specified for the configured port are not showing (i.e. networks 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.20.1)
I have attached screen captures of all my setup & configuration so far, I'm obviously making a mistake...
Could someone please advise what I'm missing?
Thank you

VLan setup for a 2950 and 2611

Im trying to setup a real basic VLan setup for 1 2950 switch. I would like to have 3 Vlans on it including the default Vlan. So my understanding is that for all 3 of the VLans to talk to each other I will need a router to be the layer 3 device that routes the Vlans.
On my 2611 it looks like this:
interface Ethernet0/0
no ip address
full-duplex
interface Ethernet0/0.1
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
no snmp trap link-status
interface Ethernet0/0.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.0
no snmp trap link-status
interface Ethernet0/0.3
encapsulation dot1Q 3
ip address 172.16.30.1 255.255.255.0
no snmp trap link-status
Then my 2950 looks like this:
interface FastEthernet0/1
description Connection to router
switchport mode trunk
speed 10
duplex full
interface FastEthernet0/2
switchport access vlan 2
interface FastEthernet0/3
switchport access vlan 3
interface Vlan1
ip address 172.16.10.2 255.255.255.0
no ip route-cache
ip default-gateway 172.16.10.1
Ok so as it currently stands the switch and router will not talk to each other at all. From the switch I can not ping the router and vice a versa. If I plug a laptop into one of the ports using VLan1 I can ping the switch IP 172.16.10.2 but obviously can not ping the default gateway which is the router...
I didnt think this looked very hard but for some reason it does not want to work for me at all...
Any ideas?
LR

I have two things you might try. First set your trunking interface on your switch to auto.
interface fastethernet 0/1
speed auto
duplex auto
This will help to make sure that the ethernet on the 2611 will negotiate the duplex with the switch. I've had issues with 2611's trying to do full duplex on there ethernet ports.
Another Option turn on CDP on your router and switch and do a show cdp neighbor to make sure there plugged into the right ports.
Three you could move the vlan 1 ip address on the 2611 to the main interface. Example below. Then try pinging the switch. Your other tagged vlans should still work at that point. Also if you have multiple switches make sure to setup Vlan Trunk Protocol see NOTE A.
no interface Ethernet0/0.1
no encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
no ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
no snmp trap link-status
interface Ethernet0/0
ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
NOTE A
Add the following commands to each switch to setup your Vlan Trunk Protocol. These are pretty much the minimum amount of commands you can use to setup VTP.
vtp domain CISCO1
vtp version 2

Best Setup For Frequent File Sharing On Home Network?

Hi guys,
I'm setting up an office at my house with multiple computers on a network, and we'll be sharing files over the network frequently. My question is, what is the best setup for this?.. Fastest transfer of files, stable wireless connection, etc.
All of the computers will be Macs (iMacs and Macbooks).
We'll be editing videos/photos on the computers. (Potentially large files)
Is the easiest setup just to have the main computer attached to a good router, setup file sharing on all other computers, and just do it that way?
Or would it be better to create some sort of NAS?
Also can someone reccomend a good router for this type of scenario?
Thanks for any help given.

NAS is the right tool for this job.
It is expensive but the market leaders.. synology and QNAP have really been doing it for long time and the ability to do file store/sharing and most importantly backup in these is excellent. Pick the best you can afford.. and buy disks that are in the recommended list. ie the cheapest are not always the best.. indeed they seldom are.
Plan very carefully for rotation of USB drives (easy and cheap now with 4TB single drives). Rotate backups with offsite location on weekly basis.
I would buy a 4 disk case.. you can use 4x3TB which are the best value at the moment.. that gives you 9TB of storage.. plus redundancy for a dead drive.
Alternatives are using a Mac Mini as a server.. with a large stack of disks on it.. generally should be thinking thunderbolt if you want speed. Hideously expensive though for now.
You can buy an Extreme or TC.. either would work well. TC allows you easy TM backups without using your NAS..
Edit very large files on the computer. ie copy to computer.. edit.. copy back to the NAS.
Editing very large files over wireless.. not good. Multiply that by mutliple computers.. not even fair.
Copy a large project to the computer.. work on it.. copy back to the NAS.. in the meantime Time Machine should be able to take care of incremental backups.
There are heaps and heaps of solutions.. as long as it is logical and easy to you.. and covers what you need.
Don't skimp.. spending a $1000 for a NAS with disks.. plus extra for the backup disks.. that represents how many day's work for you plus anyone you have helping.. $$$$ ????
A mini as a server is a good alternative.. You don't need to run server OS.. but share files to the network. Very hard to build the capacity of the NAS though.
And a Mac Pro is now a joke without internal slots and cages for drives. (nice machine but wrong for this).
And Apple have nothing in between.. a short tower case.. been missing for a long long time.

DMZ setup for SBS 2011

Any suggestions on a low end router capable of providing a decent firewall that would begin to meet the security requirements needed for a DMZ setup? (example Cisco PIX 506 Firewall)
And whether it can be done with just a couple of wireless routers, one with an enabled DMZ? My initial thought on this is that the standard consumer wireless routers have an eight character password which is far from secure enough to do
much of anything. (brainstorm details below)
Thought is to place a web form login page in the DMZ... add a read only file to test the web form access. Nothing fancy and for now, it does nothing except verify that user can login or is denied login. Verified login goes nowhere except
"Success". Build something later when the first part works (if it works).
Plan is to exist over two lans (or IP sets within the domain - one set is 192.168.01.xxx and the other set is 192.168.02.xxx) and set up bypass rules between the two. The Lan 192.168.01.xxx would house the DMZ (with HTTP port 80 access) and the
Lan 192.168.02.xxx would house the internal domain (SBS 2011 DC running VPN, Sharepoint etc, HyperV server with virtuals running SQL and TFS, and laptop access). The 192.168.01.xxx is a guest lan for non-domain (non-hostile) members.
So my questions:
1) Can the HTTP header be forwarded from SBS 2011 router rules on the router firewall to hit the second lan (http requests from 192.168.02.xxx would be routed over to 192.168.01.xxx)?
2) Can an inexpensive router like the PIX ($30 used) above solve the "crack the eight character router password issue?" (Maybe I just need a newer router in general where the passwords are more secure?)
Currently RWW open, SSL open, VPN (1723) open, 25 open... all other ports closed. [Does this create any snafu's?]

While all this is good information, I would clarify one point
Port 80 should not be open and port forwarded as it's the single most commonly attacked port
Users should be taught to come in via port 443, using https

Hi,
I have deployed similar setups for clients. The main thing is the quality of the router/firewall facing the internet. I assume when you talk about open ports, you mean open via NAT (network address translation) otherwise, you are leaving the firewall to
do the hard work. I am a fan of Draytek 2830 adsl routers. They also have cable routers if you connect via cable. These are much more expensive than $30 - about £230 in the UK. Cheaper models by other manufacturers are available, but what you should look for
is a fully customisable NAT server (also called virtual server on some cheaper models) Have a look at Zyxel and TP-Link professional routers. Passwords with these routers can be as complex as you need.
I assume you have a static IP address or block of static IP addresses for your public wan address. Using dynamic DNS will create problems with spam filters if you are using an Exchange/smtp server on your SBS server to send email and is not recommended.
SBS needs to be able to access your server via ports 25, 80, 443 and 987. You may also want to use 1726 if you need a VPN connection. Use NAT to map these ports from WAN to LAN. for example if your WAN address is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and your LAN subnet
is 192.168.1.0 with your SNS server IP address set to 192.168.1.1 and your router IP is 192.168.1.254, then you would add the following to the NAT address table:
WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 25 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 25
WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 80 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 80
WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 443 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 43
WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 987 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 987
This will provide secure access to these ports from WAN to LAN and will enable SBS remote web access, SBS Exchange Email and Outlook Web Access. Computers connecting will require either a third party domain certificate (eg from Verisign or
GoDaddy etc) or the self issued certificate (found in the public document folder on the SBS server) to be distributed to machines to enable them to use this remote access.
For the non secure subnet, you will need another router connected to a LAN port on your main router. Configure the WAN address of the secondary router to be 192.168.1.253 and the LAN subnet to be anything suitable but different from your primary
LAN, eg 192.168.2.0. On your main router, set the WAN IP address of your secondary router (192.168.1.253) on the DMZ. This opens the WAN port of the secondary router to the internet but isolates it from your primary LAN subnet.
This setup is suitable for a secure network with public wifi access via the secondary router. Use the secondary router to restrict bandwidth, download types adult content etc. to prevent public abuse of your Wifi network, but still making it suitble
for smatphones to connect.
I hope this is clear, but if you have any questions, post again.

Linda

Disk Setup for CS4

Hello All,
Looking for some recommendations on disk setup for CS4. Some quick specs. XP Pro 64 bit,Intel i7 extreme, 12GB DDR3 RAM, and 8 Velociraptor 300 GB Drives.
I orginally had it setup as a single Array (RAID 5 with online spare) with two partitions ( One for OS and program files, and one for storage and Scratch and Page file)on the array. I wasnt getting very good performance so I decided to wipe and reconfigure.
Would I be better off with 2 arrays? One array of 2 drives RAID 0(600 GB) for OS, Program Files, and Scratch Space. and the second array of 6 drives at RAID 5 (1.3 TB) for storage?
Or maybe even go with a single drive for OS and Program Files (300 GB). A single drive for Scratch Space (300 GB). and then the 6 Drives in RAID 5 for storage?
Also where would be the best loacation for the paging file?
Thanks in advance for the help

The speed of a 7-disk raid5 is far higher than a single disk. The speed degradation from a 7-disk to 6-disk raid may not outbalance the addition of a single disk for scratch.
I am seriously considering to move 2 single disks to my raid array, so I end up with 2 x 7 disks in a Raid30.

HT4557 whats the best itunes/appleID setup for family of 3 with 3 ipads, 3 iphones, one PC with all music on. if we use 3 separate ones how do we share purchased and home content?

been with apple for years. one itunes/appleID in use for family - all purchases and downloads on the one account..
now got 3 ipads, 3 iphones and when we update the software, we seem to get text/facetime issues due to multiple email addresses and phone numbers for the different devices that each individual uses. For example, I send a text and it appears to have come from my wife or son to the recipient. Not good !
there seems to be direction from apple that each of us should use our own apple id, thogh how do I link the accounts so enable family sharing of music/media we have purchased etc - Id also like to be able to review and keep a private eye on what my son downloads as he is 11 yrs old ! I manage this currently as we allow him access to the password for itunes (as we all use the same id today)
Am i better setting up accounts for my wife and son independent of my own, or not. Each of us would like access to the family content we have and the master library of synced content. I just want the most simplistic approach that apple, or others would recommend.
Is there a better or optimum setup for a family as we cannot be alone.....

Thanks for the help, but a follow up question now.
My iPhone won't arrive for a little while, but my wife already got hers and she wants to set it up now. Using my Apple ID for the purchases, if she starts setting hers up, can she change her iCloud ID to something else quickly? It keeps telling us that we have to sign in with the AppleID first.
Should we just set up an iCloud account via normal internet before trying all this via iPhone?

I dont think its possible but I vaguely recall seeing a document stating that it is poosible to have two SSIDs on a single VLAN.
If so can they also have two different authentication methods

Hi,
Thank you very much. I got it right now. Anyway, I could broadcast only 1 SSID. I have tried âmbssidâ but it did not work. I understand VLAN is needed for mbssid. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. The following is my configuration.
