    Implement ASA 5505 into existing network

    I took my Cisco 5505 offline for about a year now. I bought a EdgeRouter + Ubiquiti UAP and never looked back. This is the best combo I've seen for home use. No matter what I throw at it I never have a problem. In fact, I'll sell you my 5505 if you want.

    Fox to Offer Free Live Streaming of Super Bowl

    Yes and No. According to a copyright lawyer tmroe.com, there is very specific rules and guidelines for playing copyrighted material at bars, clubs, or restaurants. If you have under 3750 sq ft, less than 4 monitors, TV less then 55", and less than 6 speakers then you are not in violation of...

    So if I go to a sports bar I'm committing illegal downloading? I see no point in myself going to a sports bar or just watching a stream online.

    Fox to Offer Free Live Streaming of Super Bowl

    I don't have cable TV and I have been able to watch every college and pro football games online. This year has brought on an onslaught of streamers. It's really point-less to purchase any PPV for football games.

    I'm sure you made sure that VTP was turned off or that the configuration revision number was lower then the core switch prior to connecting it to a production network. I would hate for you to wipe your vlan database. This is an easy way to get fired.

    How does a L2 dwitch use DNS?

    Does everyone realize that this switch has a CLI? Within the command line interface, you can use hostnames instead of IP address. The switch needs to be able to resolve DNS within the CLI.

    Slow network transfer speeds - QNAP

    I bet you are 100% correct, Liger88. My Synology 1511 has a 1.8 GHz Dual-Core with 1 Gig of ram and I have no problem getting near the 125 Mb/s limit. I'd be curious to see some kind of test with different processors on testing bandwidth limitation.

    Slow network transfer speeds - QNAP

    1) Trunking protocol is 802.3ad. Your router doesn't support 802.3.ad so you are not trunking. Trunking involves both devices to support 802.3ad. 2) "[QNAP] -> Dual Cat6 -> [Asus RT-56u router] -> 5ghz -> [PC] Transfer Speed (PC on the floor above, ~5 feet): ~11-18mb/s " This is perfectly...

    Slow network transfer speeds - QNAP

    Describe your network in detail. We need router model / switch number and how is the source connected to the destination? IDE 7200 -> Cat5e -> router model number -> Cat5e -> QNAP Your router should have auto-negation on so when a Gig port is plugged in it will run Gig. If you have a managed...

    Slow network transfer speeds - QNAP

    You must be running the QNAP in a non-RAID. 40 MB +/- is perfectly normal for non-RAID. You answered your problem then. It would be safe to assume that the issue is within your network most likely a switch.

    Slow network transfer speeds - QNAP

    If the source device is running on a 5400 speed Hard Drive then you will never achieve optimal speeds. There is 6 key components for transfer speeds. The source ( IDE, SATA, RAID, etc), cable, congestion of data, trunking, switch, or the destination ( IDE, SATA, RAID etc ). So yes, you will see...

    How do you setup your vlan interfaces on a VM server?

    If you are not using IPv6 on your host machine ( the one that is the vm server ) then just uncheck it and it will turn-off IPv6 from vm machines.

    How do you setup your vlan interfaces on a VM server?

    If you are that concern then don't put any computers on that VLAN. The only thing that will contact that computer will be anything outside it's gateway. The only 100% sure way is to add a Access Control List that says no inside traffic IP address will contact that server IP.

    How do you setup your vlan interfaces on a VM server?

    The fe80 address is the same thing as 169.254.x.x. This means that when the computer booted up there was no DHCP server so it assigned itself the fe80 address. By default, computers in different VLAN's cannot communicate unless you open the ports or add in a route in the route table. If you...

    How do you setup your vlan interfaces on a VM server?

    You do realize that IPv6 fe80 address is a link-local address? If you know that and just wanting to stop the IPv6 then just change from /64 to /128.

    The News from the Apple Event is No News on Apple TV

    Cisco IOU

    Cisco VIRL is coming out sometime this year or early Spring 14'. That is probably what you will want since you will be able to simulate all the OS's Cisco has to offer. VIRL does automate a lot of configurations but you will be able to configure everything yourself. I think this will be more...

    DOCSIS 4.0 ?

    So my Internet went to crap and decided to check my speeds. The results from the test was 32ms ping / .33 Download / 10 Upload. I'm suppose to have 50 Mb Down / 10 Mb Up. I called Comcast and I told them that something is throttling my download speed. The only thing the rep could do is ask me to...

    Cisco 2621 at home

    If you want to learn Cisco command line then just use GNS3. I bought a CCNP rack long time ago. Once I started using GNS3 I stopped using my routers. All you really need is GNS3 and 2x 3550 and 2x 2950. For CCNA, I would just use packet tracer. Everything that packet tracer can do is at the...

    apache anti spam measures

    When I ran forums I just added a line in the registration that says "Please input the answer to 3 x 3". If the value didn't equal 9 then the registration failed. I got the idea from VIP code that someone wrote for phpbb forums.

    what do you guys use for malware and antivirus real time protection?

    I have all my machines just running a scan once a week starting at mid-night. It really depends on your surfing habits. If you want 100% safe web surfing then install virtual box and put Tails OS on it. It's as simple as it gets to use. If you don't want to go this route and have a very high...

    GNS3 - What cisco IOS would be best to use?

    Yes. You can use whatever image you want for the switches. GNS3 is going to limit you on what you can do with the switches. This is why if you plan on going past CCNP then to buy physical switches. What most people do is this... Best Solution 2x 3550 ( physical ) 2x 3560 ( physical )...

    GNS3 - What cisco IOS would be best to use?

    The "c3725-advipservicesk9-mz.124-23" is what you want. This is pretty much the best image to use with GNS3. Keith Barker did an awesome series with CBT Nugget on GNS3. He pretty much covers everything you need to know on using GNS3. *Edit If you want to use virtual switches then I would...

    GNS3 Help

    Are you running GNS3 inside a virtual machine? If so, make sure you don't have "promiscuous mode" checked at the virtual switch or nics. That will open the flood gates on the switch.

    GNS3 Help

    GNS3 Help

    Are you talking about the GNS topology is making your real network go down? The only way I know that this could happen is if you were using the cloud with a bridged nic. It might just be coincidence.
