• Compare Dot1Q and QinQ with access ports and trunk?

  Hi all

  How do you compare Dot1Q and QinQ with access ports and trunk?

  Thank you

  Sunil Kumar

  Hey, Sunil,.

  With regard to your questions:

  1. we have a case of Dot1Q configured on the port of access of habit?  If not, then why? - Dot1q aims to tag executives leaving the switch and access is opposite, it does not therefore not used together marking.

  2. how the topology would be for QinQ case? - For QinQ as I mentioned in my last post one side will be set to while links to access than others. A simple example is explained on this link:http://networklessons.com/switching/802-1q-tunneling-q-q-configuration-example/

• Setup of QoS for Whatsapp and VOIP application

  Hello guys,.

  I have a modem WAG320N. I have wasnted to configure the QoS priority for 2 applications 'Whatsapp' and a VOIP application that allows me to call from a computer to a mobile phone. I use torrent applications and that they take all the bandwidth. That's why I was looking for to configure QoS for these two applications.

   

  I went to the page of QoS and they are wondering about the details of the application as the range of ports etc.. I don't know what value to be filled. I posted a screenshot below of his request. Can someone help me fill out these details for both applications.

  Thanks in advance

  Image: http://i40.tinypic.com/2qi02z5.jpg

  You can add essentially Viber on QoS. Under the games and Applications, QoS, click on enable priority access Internet. On the category, find the Applications > add a new Application. You can enter the name of the Application. You can now add the port numbers. And since it is a specific port and no beach, do you this way;

  5242 - 5242 TCP (for Protocol)
  4244 4244 TCP
  5243 5243 UDP
  9785 9785 UDP

  I hope this helps.

• How to add a VLAN on a trunk port and channal port

  Hi all

  I need to set up a configuration details below.

  1 how to add several VLANs on Cisco 4500 switch trunk port. (vlan existing also will be there)

  2. I have also 2 4500 switch to shared resources and channel ports.

  So my question is should I add new VLANs on the trunk port and port also channel?

  Looking for an answer

  It depends on your existing configuration.  If you have not specified WHAT VLAN is allowed, they would be by default.  If this isn't the case, you need to add the VLAN again to the definition of trunk.

  Too far again go to that VLAN, that also depends.  IF you have VTP really set up, you have to create the new vlan on one of the master switches in VTP (probably your 4500) and the definition spread to other switches.   If this isn't the case, then you declare new VLANs on each switch that would need them.

• Catch 22 - Port Trunk Configurations: how to combine identifiers VLAN native with DHCP (but allows traffic of VM)

  Catch 22 - Port Network Configurations: how to combine identifiers VLAN native with DHCP (but allow the virtual computer)

  I came across a Catch 22.  Maybe someone can restore the directly here.  I found a "witch hunt" for sure.

  It comes with the Ports of junction on the side of the switch of the ESX host network.

  Context:

  Ok. The Setup is a HP Blade C7000 enclosure.  I try to configure ports for switching to the blades.  ESX 3.5 U4 will be installed the BL460cs.  Installation is preferred method: revive unattended.  No problem with the syntax of Kick-Start,

  I am here, it's the side network.

  The problem:

  I find a major complication in that the switch ports must be configured for both traffic Service Console and VMkernel, more Virtual Machine since only two NICs by blade. Not best practices, but we have only two switches Cisco 3020 inside.  The two uplink physical NIC is paired in the same vSwitch.  (No iSCSI does fortunately).

  So the Catch 22 question is as follows:

  If the id VLAN native set up on the switch port, DHCP works of course and the VMware boot loader is able to grasp a binary / packets on the network (FTP Site) and install OK.  But after no installation, no communication with SC unless I set the VLAN id of the SC to '0 '.  The value "4" 0 does not communication, but "40" is the VLAN native.

  If id configuring VLAN native retired from the Switch port, DHCP will not work and host does not have IP address during the VMware boot process.  This is as expected as traffic without label is not assigned an eligible

  VLAN, so no comms.

  The Port of the Switch configuration:

  interface GigabitEthernet0/16

  SERVERNAME description

  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

  switchport trunk vlan native 40

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 40-254

  switchport mode trunk

  switchport nonegotiate

  Speed 1000

  No cdp enable

  spanning tree portfast trunk

  end

  Summary

  OK, let's summarize where things are and if possible please attach responses to their digital identity.

  (1) is there a way to delete the VLAN tagging altogether side ESX host? Not only the id '0 '. The problem is with clearly with the VLAN native defined as "40".  If "40" IDs specified on the Group of ports for the Service Console, no joy, no comms. If the id of '0' value, capable of ping gateway and communicate on the network.

  (2) what is the problem with the definition of VLAN native as "40" when the config for the switch port is set as VLAN native "40"?  Or if it was a problem?  Both parameters clearly do not work together.

  (3) a switch receiving a unmarked frame it will assign to the VLAN Trunk native. Ok. Trunking bases and why I need a VLAN specified on the port for DHCP native work.  But it seems that since the id VLAN is set manually even as VLAN native, closed communications and no traffic as possible.

  (4) executives made tag 802. 1 q VLAN native?  I think that it is not and this could well be the problem. Since the id VLAN "40" is not labeled, but try to score the side host vSwitch port group.

  Please let me know your thoughts, community and how in general, we are approaching 2 NIC ESX configurations.

  When trunking multiple VLANs, you either have a default VLAN is nothing is tagged, or you don't.  That's what the vlan native to you, it defines which VLAN would be used if no tag is visible on the packets traversing the network.  For servers, if you are marking, then everything has to tag, if you're not marking at the server level, then the port must be either an access port or a VLAN native or default must be set.  I also don't keep your service console the same network as your vm.  Keep this isolated for the security of the network.  If you isolate this VLAN, you can separate and use a single IP address for installation and one for post construction.

  Or, you can provide an IP address during the build.

• COM ports and USB data cards?

  When I connect USB data cards windows assigns a COM port? Why is this happening? Are serieal devices USB devices? Why the COM ports assigned to the USB devices? What I know, it's USB ports and serial ports are different and they are there with a different set of standards.

  In general, Yes.
  (There are sometimes problems with things like USB adapters series converter when you use a device physically connected by a serial port, but it is a bit different).

• LAG, VLANS and Trunking Force10

  I'm with vSphere and I a vSwitch with several groups of ports configured, including 2 assigned to VLAN ID and a network of management with no Vlan ID.  This vSwitch will use physical NIC grouped to route this traffic to a physical Dell Force10 MXL switch.  My understanding of the standard networking, a trunk port must be configured and VLAN must be added to this as labeled trunk port, while the traffic that has no Vlan ID is left unidentified and by default is the vlan by default (usually Vlan 1).  The attached picture is the topology I and I need to make this work, but do not have a lot of experience with Force10 switches and so far, it looks very different.  In addition, if it is relevant, the external switch in the diagram is actually 2 Force10 switches separated stacked, and there are two connections to the other switch (currently a 6224 not managed) between the firewall and F10s, which is a separate issue - those must be configured as an OFFSET on the F10s and the 6224? One or the other?  Or?  If anyone can help with the configuration for this topology?  Please help me out here.  Thank you!

  

  Currently, the best method to get assistance and recommendations with Force10 equipment, is through the Force10 support group. They will be more quickly and accurately help you with this inquiry.

• JOINT-2-data ports

  Hello

  I took over managing a JOINT-2 6500 implementation, as far as I can see it has been configured in

  "Promiscuous" mode with a single virtual sensor assigned to two data ports 0/7 & 0/8.

  The switch was configured with the following options:

  intrusion detection module 8 access management port - vlan 507
  intrusion detection module 8 ports data access 1 - vlan 507

  monitor the 66 session source vlan 501-509, 518-520, 601-613
  monitor the session 66 intrusion-detection-module 8-port data destination 2

  can someone tell me why the data port of second order utilsed 1 and the background command uses the data port 2, it's valid and recommended?

  Thank you

  D

  So a little bit about the architecture of the JOINT.

  JOINT has a management or command and control (gig0/2) port and 2 data (gig0/7 & gig0/8) ports

  These ports on JOINT connect to the 6500 on the backplane.

  JOINT Gig0/7 connects to the data port 1 on 6500.

  JOINT Gig0/8 connects to the data port 2 on 6500.

  The configuration involves two things:

  1 setting up JOINT (Date, time, assigning virtual devices to interfaces, tuning signature... etc.)

  2. configuration of 6500 to send traffic to the JOINT.

  You plan to put the JOINT in promiscuity or inline mode?

  The configuration on the 6500 is different for the two modes.

  Configuration:

  intrusion detection module 8 access management port - vlan 507

  This puts the management port to vlan 507

  intrusion detection module 8 ports data access 1 - vlan 507

  Puts data port 1 in vlan 507. This is usually done in inline mode.

  monitor the 66 session source vlan 501-509, 518-520, 601-613
  monitor the session 66 intrusion-detection-module 8-port data destination 2

  It is an extended configuration that sends a copy of the data from the VLANs to the port of data 2.

  This is done when JOINT running in promiscuous mode.

  So in your case, the configuration is correct on 6500 sending traffic to JOINT depends on what mode, you want the METHOD to be run in.

  Please see the link below which will explain how to configure 6500 promiscuity or JOINT configuration in inline mode.

• VoIP QoS for Tunnel from Site to Site

  Hi all

  I need help to configure QoS for VoIP between two Cisco ASA 5505 with VPN Site to Site.

  There is no need for bandwidth reservation, only 46 (EF) DSCP should be higher and DSCP 26 second queue higher and rules apply only to a site to site VPN.

  Usually, I try to configure the ASAs via ASDM and discovered in the documentation Cisco how configure QoS DSCP bits with a Service policy and how to configure QoS for a VPN from Site to Site (rule Service-> Match traffic strategy). But how to configure QoS for a bit DSCP applies to Tunnel from Site to Site? And how configure different priorities for both DSCP bits, this is defined by the order of political Service?

  The quality of service must be activated on the two ASAs to inside interface?

  Thanks in advance

• Data Guard and auditor of the Apex

  Hi all

  I seem to be unable to understand the configuration of parameters for protective Apex listener when connecting to a database.

  We have a lot of servers of databases (without data guard) and we use the command line Wizard to generate the configuration file. It's straigthforeward and
  easy. We enter the server, port, and Service_name and it works.

  But for a guard database, there are two servers and I seem to be unable to set it in the right way. After doing some research I came across the parameter apex.db.customURL which should solve the problem.

  I removed the references to the server, port, and Service_name and put the key in.

  The result were errors of connection due to some incorrect port settings.

  SEVERE: The pool named: apex is not properly configured, error: IO error: format invalid number for the port number

  oracle.dbtools.common.jdbc.ConnectionPoolException: the pool named: apex is not properly configured, error: IO error: format invalid number for the port number

  You must create two entries in the configuration file "defaults.xml" for your ADR (formerly APEX Listener).

  One for db.connectionType and, secondly, for db.customURL, for example:

  customurl
  jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=
  (ADDRESS=(COMMUNITY=tcp.world)(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DB-ENDUR)(Port = 1520))
  (ADDRESS=(COMMUNITY=tcp.world)(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DB-ENDURK)(PORT = 1521))
  (LOAD_BALANCE=off)(FAILOVER=on))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ENDUR_PROD.VERBUND.CO.AT)))
  

  Reference: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E56351_01/doc.30/e56293/config_file.htm#AELIG7204

  NOTE: After you change the configuration file, don't forget to restart independent ADR / Java EE application server support if ADR is deployed on one.

  Also check if your URL for a JDBC connection is working properly and if there are any questions, you can turn on debugging for ADR:

  Reference:

  • http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E56351_01/doc.30/e56293/trouble.htm#AELIG7206
  • http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E56351_01/doc.30/e56293/trouble.htm#AELIG7207

  Directed by Tony, you should post the ADR related questions to the appropriate forum. Reference: ADR, SODA & JSON in the database

  You can also move this thread on the forum of the ADR.

• Install PT8.53 with Linux question: connection process Data Mover and application designer

  People,

  Hello. I install PeopleTools 8,53 Internet Architecture.

  Server database is the database Oracle 11 GR 1 material.

  Operating system is Oracle Linux 5.

  I installed successfully JDK7, WebLogic Tuxedo 11 GR 1 material and PeopleTools 8,53 10.3.6, in Oracle Linux 5.

  
  I've been setting up of database PeopleTools8.53. Because the Wizard installation problem, I created PeopleTools 8,53 database manually by using starter PT853 Oracle database instance. I have run the following scripts:
  (1) utlspace.sql
  (2) dbowner.sql
  (3) ptddl.sql
  (4) psadmin.sql
  (5) psroles.sql
  (6) connect.sql

  
  Then, we perform Data Mover script in a Windows XP Client computer to fill the PeopleTools PT853 database machine Linux Sever instance.

  I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 client for 32-bit Windows XP 64 - bit Windows virtual machine and run it successfully.

  In Oracle Linux 5 Server Machine Net Manager:

  Service name: PT853
  Connection type: default database
  "TCP/IP Protocol".
  Host name: 192.168.196.102
  Port name: 1521

  Listener: LISTENER
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  Host: 192.168.196.102
  Port: 1521

  
  I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.

  In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same, and the connection is successful as well. Its details are as below:

  
  NET Service Name: PT853
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  The host of the database Machine name: 192.168.196.102
  Port number: 1521
  Name of the Basic Service: PT853
  Connection type: default database

  
  This means that Windows XP can connect to Oracle Linux 5 successfully. But in the computer Windows XP Client, Data Mover and application designer cannot open a session in PT853 Instance of database in the Linux Server machine. Its details are below:

  Configuration manager:
  Type of database: Oracle
  The database name: PT853
  User ID: SYSADM
  Connect ID: people
  Connect password: people

  Data Mover:
  Type of database: Oracle
  User ID: SYSADM
  Password: SYSADM

  Application Designer:
  Type of database: Oracle
  User ID: SYSADM
  Password: SYSADM

  When connect Data Mover and application designer, I got the same error:

  ORA - 12154:TNS: can not resolve the connect identifier specified. Invalid user ID and password for the access code.

  According to my understanding, process connection Data Mover and the application designer requires 3 tables in SQL Server: PSOPRDEFN, PSACCESSPRFL, PSSTATUS. I'm not sure the process of connecting to the Oracle database. I checked the database PT853 instance in Linux, and there is only one table "PSDBOWNER" created by the scripts.

  My question is:

  Can any folk tell me the connection process Data Mover and Oracle database application designer? Requires only one table "PSDBOWNER"?

  Thank you.

  Oh my, many mistakes action here. If PSDBOWNER doesn't have a line, it must be solved at the time that the error came out. The replacement by SYSADM first why? Why is complaining already existing SYSADM? Most likely, you HAVE created manually, where you shouldn't.

  Again and again the same story. And again, sorry to say but you should take the basics of Linux training, Oracle training bases and sorry to be hard but reading training as well to read correctly the Peopletools Installation Guide where all required steps are really described in details.

  I don't think anyone can help you across the network in this respect,

  Nicolas.

• My HP 14 laptop is not recognizing the usb ports and wifi at startup.

  During the last few days I been dealing with the issue that my laptop does not recognize the usb ports and wifi. After several reboots, it works fine. My drivers are up to date, so I don't know why, I'll have this terrible problem.

• hidden data port 2 on Mac Pro 1.1

  No one knows what that Apple engineers have reason had to have these two ports on the motherboard? Discussions I read suggested that they were for the installation of additional optical drives, but I just watched a youtube video that has already shown the optical drive port has additional sata cables already in there.

  2 are there thing, data ports, but I don't see a pair of extra power cables. It has been designed a bit more from the Commission? Or was there a plan that Apple abandoned.

  Wiring in optical bays in Mac Pro 1.1 to 3.1 2008 model have ATA/IDE wiring in optical bays, connectors from molex power 4pin.

  In my view, Apple has included these two additional SATA ports to guard against optical disk ATA/IDE, becoming too expensive or outdated form. Additional ports gave them the data connection to allow them to switch to SATA optical drives (with duplicator of molex power 4pin or adapter) without revision of the motherboard.

  There is no explanation of how to use them in any official literature from Apple. They are too close, and using both requires using at least a right angle connector. Practical power is expected, because they were never for your convenience. Research of power for additional disks attached here is your problem. (learn about amateur sites)

  For the great re-design for the 2009 model, these ports were eliminated, and the optical bays got SATA wiring (including power SATA).

• ENVY 700-527c: data port availability

  ENVY 700-527c, regarding with card mother Kaili2.

  This unit had a place available for an additional cd/dvd drive for a total of 2 cd/dvd players.

  In addition, there are two bays available for the additional hard drives for a total of 3hdds.

  I installed a dvd drive in the extra Bay and I installed a hard drive in one of the two available bays. Everything works well no problems.

  I would like to take advantage of the third Bay for an additional hard drive, but there were only two available data ports.

  You can see the data ports in the lower right. Currently, all four are busy (2 dvd/cd drives - hard drive 2).

  My question is: How can I get a third HDD installed and operational?

  Hello

  The RED edge connector is a different SATA port.  See the image below.

  

  Motherboard taken Kaili2 supported by six SATA 6 devices. Five traditional SATA III ports and an MSATA are available.
