SG300-10MP / Fiber From Home Office Switch To Equipment Rack?

Nov 10, 2011

I just installed a 10 port Cisco SG300-10MP in my office, 9 of the ports are already in use. Connected to it are

PC
Laptop
Notebook
WIFI AP
B&W laser printer
Color inkjet printer
IP camera
Squeezebox SB3

Cat5e connection to basement HP 1810G-24 switch All of these devices are connected via a single Cat5e cable that was installed when the house was built. I had to re-terminate both ends of it when I moved in because the existing terminations were done very poorly. I have no idea how or where the cable is routed, nor what the quality of this Cat5e cable is. It did pass a test using my cable tester.

This single Cat5e is connected to my main HP switch in the basement equipment rack. Both of these switches have mini-GBIC ports that can utilize SFP transceivers and fiber. I priced out 2 MGBSX1 compatible modules along with a 30M multimode fiber patch 'cable' online at under $150. Although it would require at least a couple hours of work (including digging around in the attic and crawl space and drilling some holes), but running the fiber to the basement is very doable.

My question to my far more experienced forum members is if the performance gains would be worth the effort?My server is in the basement, and despite having an Intel GB NIC in my PC I am seeing read speeds of ~23MBs and writes of ~49MBs to/from my it. My server has teamed GB NICs (802.3ad LACP Layer 2) connected to trunked (LACP) ports on my HP switch.

Cisco WAN :: 3750 - Use Two Core Switch 6500 With Single Mode Fiber As Transport Equipment?

Nov 30, 2012

I have a requirement to connect two 3750 switch with 10G speed between two sites with 150km distance. We will lay-out our own fiber (48 core) between two sites. I just want to consult the following:
 
1. Could i use two core switch 6500 with single mode fiber as a transport equipment?

2. Or i need to use SDH equipment because of the distance concern? If so do i need a repeater?Could i use Cisco Metro Core ONS, which one?

3. Any other option to achieve this requirement?

Cisco Switches :: SG300-10MP Keeps Going Down?

Jan 27, 2013

We purchased a SG300-52 last week to replace a 5yr old Dlink which has worked perfectly. 1 day after the SG300 went it it started crashing with this fatal error problem so I reverted the firmware back from 1.2.7.76 (latest) to 1.1.2.0 but I still get the problems.  It crashes when I have it on my lan with users connected or if I just have the switch on my desk with just my laptop connected, so it cant be a load issue or a network topology issue.  I already have a Cisco SGE2010 on my network without problems.

Cisco Switches :: SG300-10MP Keeps Crashing?

Sep 4, 2012

We are in an organization of 80 users with 5 Sx300 series switches with the latest firmware (1.2.7.76). The network is mostly flat with all switches feeding into a Cisco ASA5505 acing as the primary gateway for Internet Access. Only our two 48 port POE switches have an additional vlan configured for the VoIP phones. We have one SG300-10MP that is powering 5 Cisco Aironet 1024N's that keeps crashing. A couple weeks ago it went down twice in one day. I updated the firmware and it did not have any hiccups unitl today. This issue has been consistent since we installed the switch in April. Originally the issue seemed to be caused by too much bonjour traffic causing a buffer overflow (we have over 100 Apple products). Since I updated the switch I have not seen any bonjour buffer overflow errors. Instead I get the following error when it crashes:

2147424534 2012-Sep-05 15:12:28 Emergency %SYSLOG-F-OSFATAL: FATAL ERROR: tExcTask: ABORT DATA exception ***** FATAL ERROR ***** SW Version : 1.2.7.76 Version Date: 19-Jul-2012 Version Time: 17:54:43 Instruction 0x18 Exception vector 0x10 Program state register 0x80000092 %SNMP-I-CDBITEMSNUM: Number of startup configur ation items loaded: 133 %LINK-W-Down: gi1 %LINK-W-Down: gi2 %LINK-W-Down: gi3 %LINK-W-Down: gi4 %LINK-W-Down: gi5 %LINK-W-Down: gi6 %LINK-W-Down: gi7 %LINK-W-Down: gi8 %LINK-W-Down: gi9 %LINK-W-Down: gi10 %LINK-I-Up: gi9 %LINK-I-Up: Vlan 1 %LINK-I-Up: gi1 %STP-W-PORTSTATUS: gi9: STP status Fo

Cisco Switches :: Can't Get SNTP To Work With SG300-10MP

Feb 13, 2013

I received an SG300-MP as an RMA replacement for a Linksys SRW2008MP and I can't seem to get the SNTP to work.Previously on other devices I have only had to set the SNTP server name or IP address and that was it.  So some of the options of the SG300 are foreign to me.So I first set

     Administration > Time Settings > System Time > Main Clock Source (SNTP Servers)   [X]
 
Then I set several SNTP server IP addresses

Administration > Time Settings > SNTP Unicast
SNTP Client Unicast    [X] Enable
> Add
Other / 64.147.116.229    (nist1-la.ustiming.org)
Other / 24.56.178.140     (wwv.nist.gov)
Other / 128.138.141.172 (utcnist2.colorado.edu)
Other / 129.6.15.29        (time-b.nist.gov)
 
Some servers I set "Poll Interval" and some I didn't because I wasn't sure what this does.The status for all servers indicate "Down" with 31.12.1899 0.0.0 for the "Last Response"/I found those IP addresses via  [URL] Also the setting

     Administration > Time Settings > System Time SNTP Multicast / Anycast

I have disabled, and I don't know what this does either...

SG300-20 - Picking Up 16-24 Port Gigabit Switch That Supports Trunking / VLans For Home Use?

Mar 11, 2011

I've been looking at picking up a 16-24 port gigabit switch that supports trunking, vlans etc. for home use.

I've looked at the Cisco SG2/300's, HP 1810g-24 and the Dell 2816 and 2824 switches, and it seems like the Cisco's are the best buy (layer 3'ish features, same price as the HP) but there isn't much about them.

2509-RJ Remote Access To Home Rack

Dec 20, 2010

I have the 2509-RJ Access Server installed and am able to access it via telnet within my home network. However, when I try to access it remotely, it fails each time I try. I set up a domain through dyndns.org specifically for the rack, the same thing I use for RDP to access my home computer remotely. RDP uses port 3389, which I opened up in the firewall and directed that port to my computer's internet IP. I tried opening up port 23 for telnet acccess to the IP address of the access server, 192.168.1.150. I believe the problem is with the dyndns.org domain I set up. The one I use for RDP has my public IP address attached to it. I tried doing the same thing for port 23 and routing that to the access server and it fails.

Home Network :: Adding A TV To Home Office?

Jan 9, 2011

My home network consists of a Linksys WRT54GL router running DD-WRT supplying wired access to my desktop, a bridge to another WRT54GL (also running DD-WRT) to provide a wired connection to a XBOX upstairs, and wireless access to about 5 or 6 different devices including several laptops, an iPad, and an iPod touch. My question is this:

I am adding a 22" TV into my office so I can watch TV while working on my desktop. I only have one cable jack in my office which is currently plugged straight into my cable modem. This means I'll have to use a splitter to give both my TV and modem cable access. How much signal degradation or speed do I stand to lose or should expect to lose?

Mix Fiber Optics And Cable In A Home?

Sep 3, 2012

I have had fiber optics for phone, TV, and internet (30/30 speed). They upped the price 80%! I would like to keep my internet on fiber optics but drop TV and phone to cable which is cheaper. Can I have both systems simultaneously? Also, we have a Sony L-series TV/Computer. IT's a TV and computer in one. Can we have both fiber optics and cable attach to it at the same time?

How to access remotely over the Internet to office PC from my home PC and get files that I need? Office's ADSL modem's model is BeWan iBox V1.0 and it has a built-in firewall. ADSL connection has a dynamic IP, which I assume should be configured as static (but how?) Should I investigate VPN capabilities as well? I'm not very knowledgeable about these things.

Cisco VPN :: Configure Setup With 2 Srp527 At Office And Home

Sep 2, 2012

I have recently managed to configure a setup where I have 2 srp527's one at office one at home.Have 1 fixed IP at the office and 1 fixed ip at home.I have configured the srp at work to be a vpn server and have configured the group and 2 user profiles. This allows me to have 2 concurrent sessions over the vpn to my office from desktop and laptop at the same time. Connections fire up perfectly no problems.From the desktop, I connect using vpn client with user profile 1 Once connected, I then connect to my workstation machine at the office using remote desktop.This gets me super fast access to office files and large spreadsheets without downloading the whole file over the vpn and is working perfectly.
 
If I then additionally connect from the laptop using the vpn client with user profile 2 the remote desktop connection drops.Disconnect the laptop connection, remote desktop comes back.Have isolated this to being 2 connections arriving at the srp at the office from the same external ip. If I connect my laptop to my phone as a hotspot rather than using my home LAN, both connections are made and remote desktop has no interruptions. Is there a way I can overcome this through re-configuration of the srp at the office or is this a limitation with the srp?

WRT54G2 - Connect Two Sets Of Computers Within Home Office?

Jan 26, 2012

I have a group of five computers at one end of my home office and another group of four computers across the same room. All are hardwired on the same internal network. These cannot be consolidate or moved into one corner or closet. There just is not the space and it's just physically not possible.There is one Internet router as provided by the local cable company. I have this connected to a LinkSys WRT54G2 broadband router. A Netgear DS108 8-port hub is connected the LinkSys. All computers either connect to the Netgear hub or to the LinkSys router. As of now, the WiFi from the LinkSys router is only ever used by my cell phone while at home.

This set up is annoying. At first I did not mind, but there are cables on the floor that I have to step over. These CAT5 cables connect one set of computers to the LinkSys or Netgear. I have to watch where visitors are walking or stepping to assure they don't trip.How can I keep these computers on the same network and eliminate just those cables crossing the floor of my home office?Should I use WiFi NICs? Would this overwhelm the WiFi on the LinkSys?

Cisco VPN :: Connecting To ASA5505 From Home To Head-office Using L2TP VPN

Jul 16, 2012

I am connecting to a ASA5505 at from home to the head-office using L2TP VPN.
 
Head-office then has a connection to other-office via a site-to-site IPSEC tunnel.
 
When in the head-office (192.168.100.0/24) I can ping/access remote-office (192.168.200.0/24) OK.
 
When connected remotely to head-office, I can ping/access head-office OK from the road-warrior laptop.
 
My problem is that when connected remotely from home to the head-office I cannot ping/access the other-office subnet.
 
On the home laptop the L2TP VPN connection is set to route all traffic to the VPN connection using the HQ as the internet gateway I can confirm this works.
 
I cant do traceroute (I get timeouts) as my policy doesnt allow and not sure how to enable this properly on the ASA.
