Fiber Dedicated Connection From ISP?
Sep 22, 2012
I have been doing network and computer work for a small public library which will soon be needing to change internet providers. Our planned route will be to have a fiber connection directly from our local ISP, but we need to figure out the best network hardware to accommodate this network connection.We currently have two HP 1810-24G switches connected to a Sonicwall TZ100 firewall as the primary router. The firewall/router connects to the internet with Cat6 connected to a fiber optic media converter. The media converter is on lease from the current internet provider so it will be gone.Our new ISP has said that they can provide a fiber connection in our building to an SFP port termination, which is their recommendation. Ideally, this would be an SFP port in a router or firewall. However, there seems to be very few options for routers with SFP and they're all incredibly expensive compared to a network switch with SFP. While I imagine we could just terminate the fiber optic connection into a cheaper switch with SFP and connect to that with the firewall, our network is further complicated in that we have a CISCO LifeSize video conferencing system which ideally runs best without running directly through the firewall, which can cause some lag and glitches in the signal it seems. I don't believe it's possible to have the router WAN interface connect through to the ISP with a static IP and PPPoE sign on as well as another network devices using the PPPoE and a separate static IP address, am I correct?Have I just over-complicated this network issue, and everything should just be run behind the existing firewall, or should I be able to find a different firewall/router or switch that can connect with SFP to the ISP?

I currently have CenturyLink (Qwest) DSL (12Mbps/896Kbps) and Comcast Cable (12Mbps/2Mbps) going into a Cisco RV08. I redirected all DNS traffic to the DSL line as an experiment with no decrease in web browsing speed. e are rural and speeds fluctuate considerably during the day. It seems like it's more of a response issue than a bandwidth issue. I would like to order a 2Mbps dedicated line from Comcast to use for DNS and VOIP traffic only, the DNS resolution times should be faster on that connection. There would be several tenants in this building using it for that purpose. The secondary purpose of this line would be for backup internet connectivity

I have an ASA 5510 with a second internet connection on its way. I would like to have one internet connection dedicated to my Site-to-Site VPN traffic and the other left to handle public internet traffic. I know I can do this with a static route but I noticed today the "tunneled" option. How exactly does the tunneled option work and would it work better for my specific situation?

My Storage supports RJ45 Connectivity. Some it gives slow performance. What if i connect all the Macpro using fibre optic and use some sort of converter to convert all the fibre connection to LAN. Will it increase performance?

I have a Cisco ASA 5520 that I'd like to be able to connect directly to our gigabit fiber connection (we're currently connected through a media converter that's causing problems). I've found the following:Cisco ASA 5500 Series 4 Port Gigabit Ethernet Security Services Module [URL]. I only need a single fiber connection, as opposed to the 4 copper + 4 fiber.

I've recently upgraded from a 512k adsl connection to a 16mb fiber optic connection.Whereas I never had a problem previously, my rvs4000 slows to a crawl once or twice per week. The only solution seems to be to cycle the power since the admin interface freezes. I also have to cycle the power on my two wireless ap to get them back up.I believe I have the latest firmware, is this a common problem on a faster connection?

We’ve just begun the transition from our old 3Com switches to new Cisco switches and we’ve encountered interoperability problems as we start the transition.Goal: Extend 6 VLANs (each representing an IP subnet) via fiber from a port on the 3Com 5500G-EI to a port on the Cisco SG-300-52
We assign an IPV4 address to the Cisco SG-300-52. We can successfully ping/web-manage at this address if we do a temporary copper jumper from a 3Com switch to the Cisco. IP address is in the subnet assigned to VLAN7•2) At the 3Com side, the fiber port is set as “hybrid” and is passing VLAN 1 untagged; VLANs 3-8 tagged•3) At the Cisco side, the fiber port is set as “trunk” and is defined with VLAN 1 untagged and VLANs 3-8 tagged.
If I try to change the management interface on the CISCO from VLAN 1 to VLAN 7 (as I would on the 3Com), I lose connectivity over the temporary copper connection•B)
If I remove the temporary copper jumper from the Cisco (keeping the “working” management IP address) and create the fiber link between the 2 switches, I lose connectivity to the management IP , If I set the 3Com fiber port to “access” and make the fiber connection, I can ping the management interface – but of course, I can’t pass the other VLANs to untagged access ports on the Cisco – and it has the fun side benefit of messing with IP management settings on other 3Com switch stacks attached to the 5500G-EI. However, it does demonstrate that we can get network traffic communicating over the fiber link between the 2 switches.
How I can proceed to a) have the management IP address in the IP subnet defined on VLAN 7 while passing the other VLANs to access ports on the Cisco? BTW, I’m a networking neophyte (it’s a very small part of my job and I do it infrequently), so I prefer to use GUI management to CLI options, although I can perform CLI configuration if presented with the right commands.

Company I work for just moved into a new location. We have two data closets which are patched as independent entities, with no Ethernet tie connection. These closets are roughly 100 feet apart.
There is a fiber connection that runs between both closets, that the previous tenant used to connect the switches. I have placed a Cisco 2960 switch in each location, and added one mini SFP gbic's to each switch. After attaching both sides, neither light up. I do a sh inter gig1/0/49 on each and shows 'down down' (not admin down).
What is the trick on getting these to communciate, do I need to configure these ports, and are they supposed to light up?
What I am trying to accomplish is to get the one closet that is completely cut off, communicating by logically stacking, or 'daisy chaining' via fiber.
I turned off the lights and popped the fiber out, and I do see a faint red light (I did not look straight into it), so I think the fiber is active.

Currently we have a cisco router 2801 for Wireless Internet connection. And we are going to have another ISP that can provide us Fibre Optic internet connection rather than wireless.My question is that can we use this router for fibre optic internet connection? how do we go about this? what is the maximum bandwidth that the router can support?

here is what I have:
A) Sonic Wall @ 192.168.1.215
B) Linksys Switch (WRW248G4P) @ 192.168.1.254
C) Linksys Router (WRT160N) @ 192.168.1.202 (Disabled DHCP Server)
D) Linksys Router (E2500) @ 192.168.1.203
E) Windows Server 2003 @ 192.168.1.200
F) There is also a Router @ 192.168.1.201 that runs DD-WRT that has an enabled DHCP Server.
It goes something like this
i) A - B --ETHERNET-- E
ii) A - B --ETHERNET-- C
iii) A - B --FIBER to another building, then ETHERNET -- D
Everything connects to the internet, but (D) on (iii) doesn't allow connection to the server (E). What can I do to make this work?

I have 100 mbps fiber connection. I bought 320N today I bought 320N and here is the problem:
We have a switch in the building. I am getting connection via CAT5. So I choosed "Use as WAN Port" from Ethernet settings. There is not much you can do here. I just used PPPoE and connected internet without any problem. The problem is I am only getting 32mbps. When I connect CAT5 cable directly to my computer I am getting 92mbps.
Maybe WAG320N is not establishing a full duplex connection.

How do I open all the ports for ALL of the ips on my dedicated server. I opened all the ports for the main ip that I RDP (Terminal Connection) into, but I can't seem to open the ports for the other ips that I got from my dedicated server provider.

I have an old computer that is currently running XP at 2.1GHz Athlon AMD with 1.5 DDR RAM, would I be able to turn it into a dedicated server? More importantly, should I? all I have is a small home network running a couple desktops and a printer off one and connected by a wireless router to the internet, would it make a difference at all in processing speed or connectivity on any of them?

In my restaurant, we currently have a password protected wifi network for customers and staff. The load is typically light, so it's worked fine. Now, we're putting in a new cloud-based point of sales system, which effectively means that I need a totally uninterrupted, high quality wireless signal running to the POS terminal (in this case, an iPad). If the terminal is sharing that connection with 15 customers Facebooking on their iPhones, I imagine we'll have some signal issues. I'd rather not install a second network dedicated to the POS terminal. Are there any other possible solutions, i.e. a way to give priority to the terminal over other connections? A way to "split" the existing network so only a portion of it is available to customers?
FYI, current network speed is 20/mbs 2/mbs, and the POS terminal requires a minimum of 7/2 mbs.

this company uses Vyatta firewalls, which are dedicated boxes. So I was sent home with a Dell PowerConnect 5448 (a 48 port switch) with the project of getting a similar setup going with the computers i have at home. I have the switch set up, everything's on VLAN1, management IP is 192.168.2. 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway is 192.18.2.254, and the switch is properly sharing the my internet connection between three computers. That part was easy. So now, one of them is going to be either reformatted and set up with Vyatta, or I'm going to virtualize it. Either way, I need to route all the traffic through that firewall box before it goes to anything else on the switch so I can have a functional firewall.

I'm trying to setup a server with two nics, one of which is connected to the network, and the other connected to a NAS via crossover. I've never done anything with subnetting, but I was thinking I could just set the main nic to 192.168.10.20 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and the other to 192.168.10.250 with a subnet of 255.255.255.240 and the nas nic set to 192.168.10.251
Am I thinking through this right, or is there a better way to do this?

I'm considering adding a dedicated Firewall to my network.Here is what my home network currently consists of:
-Comcast Arris TM722 Broadband Modem
-Netgear WNDR4500 N900 Gigabit WiFi 450/450 Router
-2 x Netgear GS108NA 8 Port Gigabit Switches
-1 x Netgear WN2500RP Universal WiFi Range Extender
-4 Pc's running Windows 7 Home Premium
-Netgear ReadyNAS NV+
-3 x Blu-ray players - Sony & Oppo (2 wired, 1 connected by WiFi)
-Sony PS3 (wired)
-Onkyo TX-NR905 AVR (wired)
-Sony KDL-55HX800 TV (wired)
-2 x Vizio E400 Seies Smart TV's (1 wired, 1 connected by WiFi through Netgear WN2500RP Range Extender)
-HP Photosmart Printer
All wired connections using Cat6 ethernet cabling.So, I want to setup a Gigabit Firewall between the modem and the router (and just use the router as the wireless access point) but I don't want to take a hit on my bandwidth speed.I was thinking of the Netgear ProSafe FVS318G for this.

We have two locations 10 miles apart and need connectivity between them. A local provider can run a 30MB fiber connection between the 2 sites at a very reasonable cost. We would have to provide the routers however. I have worked with Cisco routers before with T1 channelized connections but am unsure how the the fiber would connect to a Cisco router in this scenerio. I need to know how such a connection to the routers at each end would take place, specifically what WIC or whatever else would be needed. I currently have a 1760 router at each site but realize that they are old and I m,ay have to replace them with newer models.

We have a L3 gig link between 2 locations (6513 <-->4507). Each location got its own addressing scheme and vlan interfaces on the edge switches.For our new exchange servers, I received a requirement on having the possibility of single vlan at both locatons. so that the all the replicaton traffic between both location servers (Prod/DR). Ex: Create a new vlan at 6500 site with an addressing scheme 192.168.100.x and having the same addressing scheme vlan stretched over the L3 link to 4500. The link is not MPLS. I read few posts in the forum and seems it is possible if we have MPLS. OSPF is the routing protocol.

Recently moved into the hardware firewall space and have a ASA 5510. Having some issues trying to get traffic through the box to my 4 dedicated servers. all the servers have static IP's and are connected to a private switch into one of the ethernet ports on the firewall(0/2). Public internet connection into another(0/0). 1 of my servers has a connection to the management port, and the public switch, and this is the one im trying to do the configuration on.
Im unsure what to set the IP address of my "outside" interface as. need to have RDP,FTP, HTTP traffic going to each of the 4 servers independently, pretty sure i can get the rules in place to allow this, but cant seem to get any traffic to go through the firewall to any of the other 3 servers.

I'm trying to figure out why recipients of emails from my company show that the mail is coming from our dedicated wan ip instead of the ip alias setup thru the dedicated wan.The external ip address for the sa540, wan1 (no optional interface), is 82.134.79.122.The ip alias is 62.97.213.156 mail. unitec hsubsea. com resolves to 62.97.213.156 for external dns yet it is reporting as the 82.134.79.122 for some recipients.The mail server was never setup with the 82.134.79.122 ip so i don't think this is a dns cache issue.What issue in the SA540 would cause the system to show as mail coming from 82.134.79.122 instead of the ip alias 62.97.213.156?

We have an ASA5510 and we're currently using 1 internet connection to handle our site-to-site VPN connection and our internet traffic. We have a second internet connection on hand. What we would like to do it use BOTH internet connections: (1) will be dedicated to our VPN connection, (1) will be handling all our internet traffic. How can we get this setup?

i just bought a Netgear WNDR4000 router due to troubles with my current modem/router combo (D-Link DSL2730-B). The router doesnt have in built modem functionality obviously so I need to set up the modem/router as a dedicated modem.Also should I use the current modem/router as the dedicated modem or an older model i own (I think its a DSL 502T)? Because the current one often drops the internet connection. Don't know if its a problem with the modem functionality or something else. Will the older one serve better since i didn't have any problems with that one or will it be outdated? I only upgraded due it not having wireless capabilities. Otherwise it's fine.Or will I be even better off buying a dedicated modem? I really don't want to spend more money but if this is a far better alternative I guess i will.
EDIT: Ok so found out that I have to put the modem/router in bridge mode in order for this to be possible. However, looking up how to do this lead me to a dead end because i need to fill in some fields that i have no idea how to interpret.

VCI: These 2 already came with presets. Should I just leave them?
