The networking redudancy, 2 network cards, active/active or active / standby?

I have two network cards available for my management network.   More 'design' documents that I saw an active set to NIC and the other in standby mode.  What is the advantage of this approach compared to their definition both active?  Suppose I have no limitation of NIC and these 2 ports are dedicated to management only.

If you have no other exchanges on this vSwitch then you can leave them as an asset with no problems.

Sometimes, the VMK vMotion interface is placed on the same vSwitch as VMK and if yes, it is good to separate them for different vmnic with active / standby.

  • Ad Hoc network. even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    I'm living in a college dorm and only have access to the internet via a hard line to my computer. So I wanted to give my other accessibility of consumer electronics set up an Ad-Hoc network and share the internet connection. When I originally set up the network it works fine, but after the devices go to sleep or I leave the room it stops working. I had problems to keep the internet connection to share continually, which I fixed it. I then had a DHCP problem with the hard line that has been resolved through troubleshooting function. Now, even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    Is there a way to create an Ad Hoc network that works similar to a wireless router, so when my computer is turned, it works automatically? If so, how can I make this happen without these problems?

    Hello

    I suggest to activate temporarily the antivirus as well as windows firewall and check if it helps.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Reinstall the network card, but there is an error code (31)?

    Hi all! This is my first time asking in this forum so please guide me if I make mistakes.

    I use a Dell Inspiron laptop n5110, and recently I had problems with my wireless internet connection. Most of the time at halfway then I am browsing or buffering videos, my internet would simply cut all of a sudden and it goes to show that its connected, but there is not internet access/no access to the network. Sometimes, it just goes to a network not identified without internet access.

    To resolve this problem, I accessed my disabled device manager then activated my network card and the internet reconnected instantly. However, it was not a permanent solution and the same problem has occurred over and over again, sometimes in succession. I called the guy in charge of my internet and I doubt it's a problem on their side, so I thought it would probably be a problem with my network card.

    I uninstalled my network card and reinstalled, but now I can not connect to internet at all. Nothing shows up on my list of connections available now. The only reason why I am able to ask this question is because I'm using my iphone usb hotspot.

    I checked my network card and it shows "this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) ». I hope someone can help me with this. Sorry for the long post as well, I just thought that some of you will want to know what happened before.

  • Get ESXI, up and running, but I have changed the NETWORK card settings, how do I fix? Help please!

    ESXi perfect on my server but stupid ass me were running so I

    play with the card NETWORK card and I changed to 1000 end, and it was

    100 MB and I forgot I was on a 10/100 switch,.

    in any case now I

    cannot ping or you connect the box to esxi...

    What should I do?

    The

    Server is a dual nic, should I connect the other cable network and

    Configure the which? will it work?

    I changed it using vSphere client...

    Connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the host (as when you installed and initially configured ESXi)... Connect to the host interface and select the option "configure management network". Clear the existing NETWORK card, and then select the second network card. You will have to regularize, save the configuration when prompted and let it restart the management network. You should be able to manage the host by connecting the client vSphere again. Then, you change the network configuration to match the new settings, or difficulty of the NETWORK card that you have initially activated to use.

    Is the host within a data center/server room? Why is the selector located only 100 MB? If the switch is able to go in the UK, ask that the host port ESXi will use either door to Go, full-duplex. Otherwise, you create a bottleneck, where it can be easily avoided.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 13 M - how to replace the network card?

    Hello I have the Satellite Pro P300 - 13M.

    My sister fell on my UTP cable and so he was taken out by force and because of that "holding-pings" on the front of the port are bent or broken, so whenever I put in a cable with traction slightess or accidental poke I'm new offline...

    I'm out of my warranty period, is it possible to fix this? Can I replace it myself?
    USB network adapters are a viable solution to replace if I can't replace it?

    Help > _

    To resolve this issue, you must replace the motherboard. The network card or a network location is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

    In addition, it would be not covered by warranty. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, this is caused by the customer.

    However, if you want to repair you must contact an ASP or search you on eBay for a card mother of second hand.

  • Unable to connect to the internet with the NETWORK card and Windows Millennium Edition.

    Hello

    I turned on my old computer yesterday, who has installed Windows Millennium Edition. At the back of the computer is an Ethernet port which is marked as LIEN ACT. The NIC with this port is Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Internet Adapter. I spend two hours on the Internet configuration and I did and finally got connected, but then, a few hours after, something went wrong and the Internet and the NETWORK card has stopped working! And the card has disappeared from the Device Manager, but he's still showing in network in Control Panel. I opened the computer and I reconnected it to the slot, but it did not help. At the back of the computer next to this port are two LEDs - green indicates the power that lights up when I plug the Internet cable and the other orange indicates actual connection. But now these two LEDs are not indicating something even when I plugged in the cable to the Internet, which comes from my router. In the computer a Dial Up connection PCI is installed too, but I disabled it. I used Dial-Up in 2002. So, I need help.
    But I know that I can connect with this Ethernet card to the Internet because it worked for 3 hours, I've loaded the pages and downloaded programs.
    Please don't point, should I upgrade Windows!
    Thank you.

    Hi friend,
    You can try a Bing search on connectivity to Win ME, I don't know there are still a few old sites that are not taken down you will find a few FAQ on.

  • Close the network card?

    I have a machine that I have leveled off for XP Pro SP3 because I have a few HW record that ONLY works on XP.

    I want comtrol machine including = WOL WakeOnLAN remotely.

    I had an old IBM Thinkcenter used for recording HW, but I want a bit more powerful machine of Noah - let's call it MC.

    The MC has been running Windows 7 before but now ranked out of XP Pro SP3 and it works fine - with the exception of WOL installation.

    I simply does not work and I see that the network adapter is SHUT OFF when the machine is turned off - the old IBM ThinkCenter I can always see the LED light when it is turned off.

    I beleave there are new drivers for the network card, but I checked the settings on the parameters WOL and I did also the settings in the BIOS.

    Still no light in the LED on the back of the RJ45 of computers. Also I see no light on the swichport where the MC cable is inserted into the switch.

    It is on the Ethernet card on board and it is a NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet with "drivers".

    What can be wrong here and how I can fix the problem?

    You may have read my first post that I deleted later because I had completely misread your post before responding.  As I said then, Wake on Lan is controlled by the motherboard and firmware of the NETWORK adapter, it is not dependent on the operating system, a compatible computer without any OS installed WOL can be started by WOL providing that it is properly enabled in the BIOS and NETWORK card firmware.   Windows (or other operating system) really has nothing as such to do with function Wake on Lan, the extent to which any OS with WOL is limited because it can enable the feature in the firmware of the NETWORK adapter through the drivers or other utilities provided by the manufacturer of the device.  If it worked before then you know that the computer is able to do, was not because Windows 7 has been installed, it worked because it has been correctly configured in the firmware of the NETWORK adapter and the BIOS.  When you installed Windows XP it is most likely did not have the drivers for the NETWORK card and it may have reset the NIC to default settings that cannot be reset correctly with the drivers you have installed later.  Have you installed the card mother/chipset drivers?  They may be needed for other drivers work correctly.

    Wake on Lan has everything to do with the BIOS, it is implemented by the motherboard.  If your computer is capable of WOL (which we know that it is) there is an option for it in the BIOS, it might be under a different name, like "Power Up on PCI device" or something else.  If you don't see a power management Option in the BIOS, it might be in the advanced settings, it's there somewhere.  If Windows can have changed WOL BIOS settings during installation is something that I don't know, but I can tell you that Windows can change some settings in the BIOS, you can adjust the timers BIOS to start the computer at scheduled time so who knows what he might be able to change.

  • Windows could not automatically bind the Protocol IP on the network card stack.

    Hello

    I installed an Edimax EW-7718Un network adapter that does not connect to the internet. I installed the same device on my Windows Vista laptop and it works fine, this isn't a problem with the product or my BT Home Hub. I checked the Edimax website and this product is compatible with Windows 7, and I have the latest drivers for it. I did the following to try to resolve the problem:
    -I've already been on the adapter properties, and clicked on "update drivers", the system says that the network card is working properly and that the drivers are up to date. I also installed the latest drivers on the Edimax website but the issue is not resolved.

    When I solve the problem, he told me that "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol for the network card stack."

    Please note that the settings are correct as the TCP/IP and DNS are set on "automatically get an IPv6/4 address server / DNS automatically".

    Also of note is that in "Network connections" in the Control Panel, the device is listed as "Disabled", I click to activate it but it does nothing, the network connection is still disabled. When I click on "analyze what" the same message "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the adapter network." appears.

    I also have compeltely re-installed Windows 7 and use the system restore, neither worked.

    I hope you can solve this problem.
    Thank you

    Hi Mickey888,

    According to the information provided by the Edimax website this particular model supports up to Windows Vista only.

    http://www.Edimax.us/HTML/English/products/EW-7718Unspec.htm

    You can try to install the same in compatibility mode and see if that solves the problem. To run the troubleshoot compatibility utility follow the link below.

  • Win7x64 with adapter DWA-160, "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol for the network card stack."

    As the title suggests, I am running Windows 7 family, 64 bit. This is a new installation, a few days ago and I have not installed anything on, or changed the settings.

    I installed a DWA-160 D-link Wireless adapter n with the current drivers, fix (before you ask to confirm, they come from Web site of D - link. I used initially the disk included in the box, however, this has generated the same question that I'll explain, so I uninstalled this software and has continued to use the Windows program to connect to the wireless network.

    I can connect to the network, of course; However, I get the message "Windows could not automatically bind the Protocol IP on the network card stack" when connecting each time.

    After searching for an answer, I tried to turn on the WLAN auto configuration service, however, it is enabled by default. If this isn't any help.

    Tried the netsh winsock / netsh int ip / netsh int ipv4 / netsh int ipv6 reset and restarted after each, no change, if this isn't any help.

    Made sure the problem wasn't with the wireless router, and it isn't because I can connect with my laptop.

    Tried to plug in the USB stick on another computer yet. I don't want to plug into my laptop just to test that possibility. So. Yes.
