• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Replacement fans for Cisco 3524XL?

    XL's do not have field-replacable fans, if you have a contract you will get an RMA.

    Hot plugging Catalyst Gig Blade. Can it be done?

    Oh yea, one more thing. A lot of TAC people also watch cisco netpro forums. The site is slower than anything I have ever seen, but you might get some free answers there. It is like a competetion between us to see how many answers we can help with. cisco netpro (need CCO login)...

    Hot plugging Catalyst Gig Blade. Can it be done?

    Sometimes you get these switches used, and actually the support contracts aren't too cheap. I work in TAC - backbone LAN switching, and I say it's okay ;) Plenty of people don't buy them because they actually have knowledgable employees. The bad part is when the company can "afford" the...

    Need a little cisco help please.

    Never ever ever route to an ethernet! You will ARP for everything, resulting in an annoying delay with every packet without a destination in your ARP table. But yea, that's what you need :)

    Internet Sharing

    Troney, This would be difficult if you do not own the other side of these links. What you are speaking of would be implemented via routing protocol load balancing or multilink ppp. Both of these must be configured on both ends. As far as a manual load-sharing method, you could put in static...

    Hot plugging Catalyst Gig Blade. Can it be done?

    They are absolutely supported. I work at cisco TAC, so I would definately hear an earfull if we did not support hot swapping. I have seen it done and done it myself hundreds of times. If it does blow up, make sure to scream at me really loudly :)

    Building Cisco Home Lab for CCNA

    True, they are "faster", but they are definately needed later on for the 802.1q trunking (which Ethernet cannot do, only faste). The part that is not so fun is that while a 2600 is "faster", they take much much longer to reload, so in a lab, this is not so fun. :( Good Luck!

    w00t! Neightborhood getting Fiber

    Think about why you might be seeing this in rural areas... fiber requires fewer POP's and sometimes can be made into completely passive systems. This means fewer employees and less maintainence. The speed for you is a byproduct, it's all about the service provider's infrastructure. If you...

    Gigabit crossover + Router help

    Two NICs can be in the same subnet and even share the same IP and mac address, usually you need a program on the host with dual nics that will make one virtual IP or GARP when one fails (in non-load balancing configuration). The switch you plug into should be using an etherchannel to spread the...

    Cisco Hands on Help... Pics included

    I hear you there IceWind, some people aren't all about just managing network gear.. there is much more to IT than this. Words of advice: get a security clearance and learn active directory or something similarly in demand and GUI related. Honestly, some GUI's are harder to learn and be...

    Cisco Hands on Help... Pics included

    The main reason is that there is an enormous amount of code cisco has to deal with, and every bug would have to be fixed in the code and then in the GUI, very tedious and there is no time for that. Besides, when your network is down, no GUI is going to help you... console connection at 9600baud...
