    Home Server Room

    Yep, its the AP9212. I scored five of them around 2 years ago for under $300 bucks(total) and it was a steal at the time. UI is almost identical to that of the newer units as well. The reason I picked these up was that they had the NEMA-5-15p as opposed to the L5-15/20. You can score some nice...

    Server room temp monitoring system?

    disagree, capex is lower but opex will be 10 fold more with a computer + usb probe. Idd stick with the more expensive extremely lower power solution :)

    Cisco gurus: transparent firewall w/ redirection

    Again, I think that you need to be far more clear with the requirements. If you are looking to simply forward ALL user traffic to a specific traffic filtering solution PBR or WCCP would get you that assuming that you control the interface that this user traffic will traverse(so you can place...

    different iterations are in the network pics thread, this is the most recent. This supports a lab, full functional cisco phone system(cucm, unity, cups, ccx), mcast network over gre bgp tunnels with a few friends to share DNLA content, WLC for lwapps(local and hreap)

    Cisco gurus: transparent firewall w/ redirection

    A router can VLAN? huh? You mean create sub-interfaces? PBR might have worked if you can base your policy to match a customer subnet that you own, but it doesn't sound like you want to do this as you say its based off specific traffic. If you are just looking for a solution to redirect traffic...

    Questions about getting used Cisco 6500

    Dude, stop seeking peoples approval on these forums... You're not going to get it. If you want to buy it, buy it.... but I wouldn't expect anyone, except for dash(and only because he doesn't know anything about networking), to tell you to go for it. If you have the money, why not... waste it. At...

    Questions about getting used Cisco 6500

    I feel like I should post, only because Im one of those people that do use a "huge modular switch" at home. Do I have lots of them, yes! Did I pay for any of them, not a one! and thats probably my only reason Im using one of them for my home network(the 4500). With that said, heres how I see...

    Ofcouse you're going to need to implement IDF's, this wasn't my point. Again, not my the point I was trying to make. My point was that it looks like you have cabinets for these switches, which are expensive, and it looks like you only appear to be mounting 5 switches and some patch panels...

    22 cabinets that are similar to that? pretty wasteful, someone needs to learn the proper dynamics of airflow and hot/cold isle. Perhaps this is why you have all the siemon boxes stuff in between the 3750s? Still, having 22 racks to house less than 10 switches per rack is retarded, but hey...

    Cisco Callmanager guru's out there ?

    Not learning from books? You're not going to go very far. Get a book(start CCNA:V, then get the CCVP books) and start with dynamips, CME and IP communicator then move on to physical hardware. Once you learn CME move on to CUCM..... but a warning.. the majority of people here that have gone from...

    You should, they're very nice and fairly straight-forward. Their GUI is a breeze though I generally use the CLI. Its nice that their demo license doesn't expire on VPX for a year also. and you better never forget it! Do I get a new title for such an accomplishment :D

    How do you use 1Gbps Internet links?

    Its all relative, for an enterprise its not the kiddie pool and the majority of offices will have something similar(MLPPP).

    How do you use 1Gbps Internet links?

    Since when is DS3 old school? The majority of ethernet handoffs to customers are bundeled DS3's and provided via circuit emulation to corporate offices.T-CXR is still an extremely cost effective solution, though there are other downsides to it, but its far from old school. If we're talking...

    Cisco ASA in home network

    C2950 - cheap as hell Matts second option is how 98% of the industry does this for IDS, the other 2% are old timers that still like to use taps. Taps are gay. It is officially supported and needed if you want to do IPS, but it doesn't sound like you want to do that. Stick with SPANing the ports...

    2T was a huge step forward, but some of the older technologies will keep the 6500's firmly in the enterprise/campus core(vss for one). Being able to terminate other transport technologies other than Ethernet(SONET, TDM, HSSI, LSSI) gives the 6500 the edge in the enterprise so thats why I dont...

    Just another vanilla switch(at least it should be), high speed fabric for the datacenter. I disagree with Vito regarding the replacement of the 6500 as they are completely different platforms that support different customer requirements.

    Just stuff I have laying around(2650xm's mostly). I stopped powering on real routers like 6 years ago :p CCIE stuff is all dynamips 32 bit host :( ... the new host I just added is 64bit but didn't get around to installing esx. All my hosts in my townhouse are [email protected] though :D

    little cabling update, added another server for the eventual fileserver replacement and another ESX host. Replaced the old 3524PWR for a 3550 and 2970G. Got remote power all setup finally. have another rack and a half worth of gear not here(parents house).

    Slow Multicasting on Cisco 3560G

    Slow Multicasting on Cisco 3560G

    What are you doing is stupid, plain and simple. 1. Multicast inherently is a un-reliable delivery mechanism since it ONLY supports UDP. You can use it reliably but im not sure that you are, but that would be at the application level and its no longer considered a single stream multicast...
