What cisco device should i acquire

My requierments are fairly simple:
Good security (UTM ? )
6 different branches should be tunneled
Mobile client vpn
up to 30 users at each branch
at least 2 WAN links (cable/dsl)
Any advice on what series should i consider? is there a wizard somewhere that i could rely on to make such a suggestion?

Hi Ro Land,
1) To the best of my knowledge, this device is not expandable.
2) The device has 4 configurable ports, but at any time you can only configure up to 2 ports as WAN.
3) All ISA security services are bundled under one license for which you can purchase in 1 or 3 year increments. Pricing for a 3 year (L-ISA550-CS-3YR=)looks like $256.35:

4) There is no command line interface for the ISA series of devices. However, from my experience the GUI for this device is one of the most robust i've ever dealt with on an SMB product.
Remember this is an SMB product so some features (command line, fully configurable ports, different modules, etc) are not available. However, there is a significant cost savings over comparable products. Answering this right before I go to bed so sorry for any incorrect information.

Any opinions?

Welcome to the Apple community.

What wireless device should I buy?

I'm getting a new desktop and I need a wireless device. I connect to a WPA-encrypted 802.11g network.
Please don't point me to a wiki or some other site. I just need someone to post here that they bought *blank* wireless device and use WPA and it works perfectly.
I don't care if it's USB or PCI or Witch-Craft interface. I cannot stand the frustration of wireless internet in Linux. I want a card that will work with just the Arch 2008 core iso. If you withhold any information, you are a bad, bad person.
Thank you!

As for me, you should use ASUS or NETGEAR cards.
I have no problems with them.
If there any problems with drivers installation you can use NDISWRAPER
But don't use D-LINK 'cause original schematic of impulse power suply is "unstable" and it can burn out
your card or AP. This caused by using btm-like components which are unstable on higher frequencies. (higher than 2 ghz and we have 2.4 ghz) And TP-link cards is "Chinese modified" D_LINK and it is more stable.
I think that the best way to power up your linux with wireless device is to use Atheros or Prism chipsets.
If you want "much powerfull" connection you should use Orinoco Gold card. This thing will blow up all the chanells.
There are nice Planet cards and AP's supported by wireless-ng. Why Planet?
Planet ARM's (CPU's) on AP's are about 166-233 mhz, but there are a lot of stuff on them.
And they've got much power - about 850 mW
As for me, if you don't whant to play with drivers you should use AP's.
Greatest AP that I've ever seen is Senao Deluxe. This series of AP's is about 1W of power!!! But there are some problems with their inner stuff.

Which cisco device to register a 7921g to?

what cisco devices are capables to register a 7921g wifi ip phone?
I think I can do it wiht a uc520 for example, but, there would be any other smaller device?
I have a cisco srp527 wich gives me dsl conection, and I´m trying to connect it with some cisco device which I can register the 7921g against.
I would appreciate some advice
Thank you in advance
Javier

If you have a cisco router that runs CME (Call Manager Xpress) then you can register your 7921 on to it
Here are the basic steps for that

What non cisco devices can be monitored by MARS

We are in the process or purchasing the MARS 110R and was wondering what other non cisco devices on our network can be monitored by MARS for intance our exchange servers.

You can monitor the security event logs (as well as most other windows event logs) using MARS. I'm not sure it understands Exchange specific event logs, but it should be able to parse the normal authentications that take place in an Exchange environment (and are logged to the security event log). Here is the list:

Cisco devices configuration for CW-LMS

Hello,
I am new to CiscoWorks LMS. I am working with a LMS 3.2 fresh installation. I added all the devices (routers, switches and 3 ASAs) into the DCR. Now I need to know how to configure the devices to send relevant info to the CW LMS machine. I am looking for something similar to this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Security/SAFE_RG/chap10.html#wp1056411
This is a deployment model for Cisco MARS, which shows what to configure on each device in the network to send the most relevant info (syslog, netflow) to the Cisco MARS.
Is there a best practice for CW LMS regarding this? For example, what syslog level should the routers send to the LMS?
Thank you!

There is a deployment guide whitepaper for LMS at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2425/prod_white_papers_list.html . As for what to do syslog-wise, you should configure your logging facility to be local7 (this is the default on IOS, but not on ASA OS), and send at least sev 5 or higher messages. You may want to bump that up to sev 6 (informational), but sev 5 for IOS devices will be sufficient to get things like configuration change messages. For CatOS, you definitely want sev 6.

Syslog server for Monitoring Cisco devices

I am looking for Syslog server to log all logs from Cisco devices. We have more than 800 cisco devices. Can anyone tell me what syslog server should i use to log these files.
Thank you.

Has anyone used the Cisco recommendation of Buliding Scalable Syslog Solutions?

I used this in another organaztion and we were very successful, we currenlty use Netcool that feeds from a syslog and we get several non-actionable alarms and it's very time consuming for 13,000 devices. I would only like to alert on 0-5 Cisco Syslog messages. Below is the response from my Netcool Administrator (What are your thoughts?):
From my Netcool Administrator:
Regarding, using the Cisco syslog severity for alert control, I feel that is not the best way to control the work in Netcool.
1. -- Cisco is not consistent with the use of this value.
    Examples:
        In this case the important message is the lower severity alert: I would consider the BGP-3-NOTIFICATION of a 6 level of Informational

What volt charger should I get for my MacBook? It is a DC to AC inverter?

Hi, I recently purchased a inverter charger that has an outlet to charge a computer and can be used as a typical USB charger for a phone. The charger says that it has a continuous charge of 120V but a maximum of 150V. I don't understand what the problem is though because on the MacBook charger it says that it's intake is 100-240V and all of the other outputs and inputs match the specifications for the charging device. A normal phone charger that you can plug into the wall worked in this charger, so is it the computer or the charger? And also if it is the computer, what voltage amount should I get? Thank you very much!

Your Macbook charger will specify the number of watts it uses (very fine print somewhere on the charger brick). Your inverter MUST be able provide at least that much power, or I'm guessing your Macbook charger would have problems.

Archive process hung on all cisco devices - help

I have Archive setup on all of my devices in the enviornment to archive configs via tftp to a server on the network. A team mate of mine elected to down that box because the "did no know what it was." Now I have a process hung on every one of my cisco devices that is preventing the archive from performing. I am hoping to find a way to stop this process short of a rebuild of every on of my devices.

Appologies, I assume most would realize this...but I meant to say "short of a REBOOT of every ONE of my devices". Symptom to too many things at once. Thanks.

Automatic back up on Cisco devices

I am planned to do the automatic configuration on all my network devices.. I had successfully implemented automatic back up configuration on Router and switches with krone policy. But i am not able to configure the same on ACS,ACE & ASA firewall and ISE.
all are cisco devices. I can able to configure krone policy on ACS but back up was not working,   kindly suggest how to configure automatic back up on above said devices.

    archive command we had bug in cisco. It not taking the back up correctly as per time configuration. Right i am looking freeware to take the back up locally with my windows machine.
   Marvin option was good. But we need linux server( VM need to create) and also network not much aware of linux commands. So its difficult for us implement with out much knowledge about Linux.
I had implemented krone policy but its working fine for router and switch only then i had problem to take back up of ACS,ISE,ACE and firewall . The automatic back up tool should be unique.

What audio driver should I download for Pavilion dv5237cl Notebook?

From driver and download, I downloaded both audio drivers but none of them is working.
What audio driver should I download for Pavilion dv5237cl Notebook?
In the device manager, under audio, listing something like "legacy..." but in control panel said that there is no audio device.

HI,
go to your device manager and see can you see some devices named " unknows devices"
if yes then >
Try following some steps
go to your device manager > right click on unknown devices > go to Properties > then Details tag
select from drop down list called Hardware ID's
and search it according to it on google or any serch engine you will get the right drivers.. (PCI\VEN............)
here are the print shoot of process!

How can I restore out of box configuration on Cisco device?

Hello,
The new Cisco devices (routers and switches) are coming with some default (out of box) configuration, but not without configuration, not with blank configuration.
I realized that there is some command that can restore thе default configuration. But I can't find it.
What is this command? Anyone does it know?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Tsvety

Mike's suggestion was correct. I would only add that one needs to erase vlan.dat if you have a switch that was used elsewhere. Cisco procedure linked here (for switches) and here (for routers).
Even a brand new factory-fresh box will have SOME configuration bits on it. A skeleton configuration - the default VLAN 1, empty interface definitions, etc. will always be there. The only way to remove everything would be to erase flash altogether forcing one to boot in rommon (not very useful).

Auto Smartports with non-Cisco devices

I have used auto smartports in the past and have been successful creating macros that use mac-addresses.
My question is can I create a macro that works with non-Cisco devices that are CDP capable?
We have Motorolla access points that use CDP and I would like to use auto smartports to put them on their own VLANs.
Can it be done using CDP? What version of the IOS would I need to be on? Currently the 3750-Xs are on 12.2.(55).
Are there any guides or configuration examples? I've searched but have been unsuccessful in find anything so far.
I have seen some articles that reference device sensors and device profiles, but have no idea where to begin.
Thanks in advance for your support.

You may need to create a Cisco TAC case for this.
If not, then move this thread to the EEM section. If the Moto AP supports CDP then you can get someone (like Joe Clark) to build a small EEM script.
EEM is supported up to the 3560/3750.
