How To Build Solution For Network With Fileserver
Feb 28, 2011
have to build a solution for a network of around 150 users from the same building with about 50 users per floor. They are all having an workstation with windows 7 prof (about 75%), windows XP home edition (about 20%) and windows xp prof (5%). They are working in Autocad and I need a server on which I have to put windows 2008 server with AD and will have a role as fileserver.I need to know what are suppose to be the minimum hardware requirements for this server. Having not too much IT experience I need to know if the users that have windoiws xp home edition need to change their OS.

Ok so even though this isn't really needed, it's for a 10 user office I have two tower servers with dual nics but not the same brand (just bought a cheapy gigabit startech) to go with intel on board nic. Also my switch is also gigabit which is a trendnet teg-s24dg which does not support link aggregration.
But since I have two nics and both servers are running win2008 enterprise I want to use the other nics for throughput if possible. So to give an idea servers are doing DC/AD and fileserver DFS rep. If I turn one off the other picks up and network still functions (there is a small lag since dns has to pick up that other is not responding. So far the best I can think I can do with the extra nic is add ip's to second nics and add to dns and round robin or install NLB role to for two server cluster.
I can't really team them since they are two different brands, so what would you do or do you suggest I can do with them. Also I have a T1 and dsl going into a dual wan firewall dsl is not being used for anything. (might use it for a seperate wifi network if people need it.

Currently we have the Synology DS212J system and that backups to the cloud as well.The problems are not being able to access it remotely easily, space, and the cloud integration is too slow and not reliable enough.
So we need a larger network, that is easily accessible remotely and backs up regularly. The main thing that will be taking up a lot of space over time is a lot of artwork files. A lot of these don't require on site network access, so if we had 30% storage local and the rest remote that would be fine, everything needs to be accessible remotely still though.
One thing I was looking into was Amazon storage gateway, it is pricey though so I'm wondering what other options there are. URL
Perhaps a larger NAS with different backup would work? It needs to run more seamless than the cloud is. We used Jungledisk before this which worked great with only a few users but we are now at 10+ users and growing.

Want some input on what will be the best solution in this scenario.Basicly this is a small ISP network.In each area, behind the C3750s, there are som DSLAMs, access switches and wireless base stations.Some of the clients need L2 connections across the network, as they have several offices.The C3750s are all Cisco WS-C3750G-12S-E.The management networks must be isolated, but be able to reach each other.What do you think would be the best solution realising this network, based on the awailable hardware?

I need to build a medium network and connect it to the internet MORE DETALIS; what are the hardware requiremnet i need to build this network?? i need to monitor and control every thing in this network. it should be like this(one ADSL line with high speed connection coming from my ISP-(internet service provider)++ a room to put all the equipment and decives use in the network=routers,modem,servers,cables and so on= ++ then from this room or place i divide the one line coming to sub-netwrks--in my case about 6 subnetworks-- then spread all the cables and so on, to each department or division

setting up a single home network in my apartment that will be able to connect to and use 2 separate wifi internet connections to provide stability and reliable bandwidth for a home network.
Situation: I have recently moved into an apartment complex that has 2 separate wifi connections that are available to the residents free of charge. (yes i am authorized to use both) I do have the option of paying for and having my own personal DSL line installed but I would much rather use the free wifi and not have the monthly bill.
The Problem: My apartment is located far enough away from each of the routers (One wifi at each end of the building and I am in the middle) that my signal strength is poor most of the time and sometimes heavy traffic on one wifi requires that I disconnect and connect to the other. Wifi A is farther and has very low signal and low or no connectivity. Wifi B has good signal most of the time but gets very slow during peek usage times of the day.
I understand that I need one or more high gain antennas in order to receive adequate signals from either Wifi connection.
Between me and my son we have 2 laptop PCs, 1 Desktop PC, 1 network printer, 1 Xbox, 1 HDTV and my smartphone. I don't want to try to equip each device with its own high gain antenna and try to figure out which device should be connected to which Wifi depending on available signal and bandwidth. Rite now I do not have a Home network set up at all and we are only using 1 laptop and the Xbox and each is directly connected via wifi (usually to Wifi B).
If I could connect to either Wifi A or B with decent bandwidth and reliability and then be able to network or connect all my devices via wireless or wired to my own router/extender etc. I would be happy. However.. Given that I must share bandwidth with the other residents and at times one Wifi has heavy use while the other does not. I have been trying to research how to connect to both wifi signals for load balancing, reliability and hopefully greater bandwidth.

I have a question for Cisco Cat.2960-s Flex Stack switches which are installing on our sties. Two of 2960-s Stack switches as access switch and two of Cisco ME 3600X Series as distribution layer switches are to be installed in our sites. In case of two stack switches, One is will be a Master and the other one will be a member logically, as you know. So, if the master fails, the other one automatically becomes the stack master following a well-documented election process.
Now, it is my question. How long takes to be a stack master from a member switch ? I cant find it on white paper of Cat.2960-s flex stack .
And also, I heard that sometimes a member switches don't election process when the master fails as a result, all stack members become
a panic. Is that really right ? In addition, I heard that the stack switches have many troubleshooting points than stand alone switches.
I really wanna know if the stack switches are good solution for resilience of huge network site. I'm waiting an answer from those who have experience of maintenance or installation.

I will be building my own computer here in the next month and am looking to become quite informed about building my own wireless network.Trouble is, I'm a bit out of to with what I need and what is good. I'm also officially tired of renting a modem from Comcast (bastards keep bumping my monthly rate up). So what pieces of equipment do I need to build a simple quality wireless network for my home? I would like the network to support two laptops, one desktop, and an Xbox plugged into a LAN line. Also, I'm thinking of using a Rosewill Wirelss Adapter 3 antenna [URL].

I'm looking for a VoIP solution for one of our remote sites.I'd like to keep it self contained and not attached to our current Cisco Call Manager.I had a couple sites running Asterisk from EvolutionPBX (URL), but it appears they've gone out of business.I've come across many different vendors for a solution, but of course they all claim to be the best. I'm just curious what others are running.What I really liked about Evolution PBX was how easy it was to setup.I basically need about 25 to 30 extensions, after hours voicemail, and a hunt group.

which will can extend the signal strength? changing antennas, put a wireless amplifier or buy ASUS 66U??change TPLink TL-WR1043ND to ASUS 66U ??? ASUS 66U is best to TPLink TL-WR1043ND and can extend the signal strength by up to twice the distance?

I have a pair of SRP527W-U units, which each connect to a seperate ISP by ADSL2+I am attempting to use each simulatenously as follows:ISP-A via CiscoA for general traffic, and to run HTTP server X,ISP-B via CiscoB to run HTTP server Y,HTTP servers X and Y are on one machine, but binding to two seperate IP addresses eg x.x.x.3 and x.x.x.4,In a situation like this, I would normally configure CiscoA and CiscoB with x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.2 respectively,CiscoA would run DMZ to x.x.x.3 and CiscoB DMZ to x.x.x.4,The server would use x.x.x.1 as the default route.Then I would set CiscoA to have a policy route catching source address x.x.x.4 and sending it to next-hop/gateway x.x.x..

I whish to connect the two switches shown below.The distance between them is 50m (~54 yards), one floor apart, and I would like to link them with the cheapest optical solution possible.I have been given a solution with 19inch patch panel, splitter, pigtail cords, patch cords, SC connectors, i.e., the lot.Not being an expert in networking, I feel that is an overkill solution.

So I've decided to utilize 802.1x on a switch module on a 2901, reasons being for mobility for a laptop and network security.
However, the 802.1x authentication occurs over the VPN Tunnel (over the Internet). What our concern is, what happens if the Internet or Tunnel goes down? I know that 802.1x does not authenticate against the IOS local DB, so what would be another option in case this scenario happened?
There will only be one device authenticating (maybe 2) and they are 2 HP Windows 7 laptops.

I need setting up a wireless home network. I have never done much networking, beyond linking two PCs directly together. This is my first time setting up a network that has multiple PC/devices accessing it.
It's a big house and has two floors. More importantly, it has impossibly thick walls. The walls are between 18 to 24 inches of solid stone (perhaps to repel a tank invasion?). I want to be able to get at least 15-20 Mbps to the furthest reaches of the top floor, in order to stream high quality HD video without a hitch.
I have settled on the ASUS RT-N16 router, unless a better option presents itself. It's one of the more decently priced high-end router available to me. It has decent signal strength (3rd on the MaximumPC router round-up), supports Tomato USB etc. I also intend to use the router to as NAS, plugging in an external HDD to one of the USB ports provided.
Despite its decent wireless strength, I doubt I will get close to the required Wifi throughput. Here is my plan to get around that. Let me know if there are any problems with it or if it can be done better. I intend to run an Ethernet cable from one of the router ports to the top floor, and attach a cheap .n router at the other end, to act as a wireless access point.I am unsure if this will meet all my requirements.
1) Will there be any problems with having one router connect to the other?
2) Will external HDD connected to the RT-N16's USB port, configured as a network share, be accessible as such to any device connecting to the secondary network?
3) What kind of cable will be needed to connect the two routers (provided this configuration is viable)? I remember that cable type used to depend on what's connecting to what, e.g. cross-crimped cable for attaching two computers directly without a hub or switch etc.). I don't know if these concerns are still valid.
4) Will I be able to access the configuration page of the primary router from devices connecting to the secondary router's network? I intent to run some apps on the primary router and would like to be able to check on them from the upper floor as well.
5) Will there be an impact of the speeds? The N16 as Gigabit Ethernet ports, which I doubt the cheap router will have. I don't think that should effect the speeds, but like I said, I have next to no experience in this area.

I'm currently moving to a 5ghz solution, due to my WGB's de authenticating due to possible interference. However, the area I have to cover is 350ft in length, with centralizing a 1242 with two Cisco Aironet 6-dBi Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT5160V-R), that leaves around 150 ft each way.
Do you think this is possible? I currently have a 12dbi high gain antenna on 2.4 right now, but I get the following:
Oct 3 18:05:26.359: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 68bc.0cb8.6a09
Oct 3 18:05:26.359: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 0000.bcc7.ef05
Oct 3 18:05:26.359: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 0000.bc58.c1ae
[code]...
I'm going to assume this is interference causing this, since we are in a factory with lots of noise. When the WGB is directly under the antenna/root bridge, there seems to be very little de authenticating.

I am looking to add a new wireless network for our customers to use.I would like to cover multiple areas of the site. And if cheap enough the whole site.Ideally I would like a control panel I can use to create new passwords for every customer that wants to connect. I can then set an expiry date on the password after that it deletes the password.An extra would be if the person would have to sign an e-policy before being allowed to browse.

Any configuration example to build a vpc b/w 5ks and 7ks? i have total 4 links between them . If not, I am assuming to have the following config for the port-channels:- (Provided the vpc domain is configured).
N5k1 and 2:
int eth1/10-11
channel-group 10 mode active
switchport mode trunk
int po10
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan a-d
[code]....
So, its basically vpc 10 that has 4 physical links b/w the vpc domain of 7ks and vpc domain of 5ks.

I just built a new computer that will not connect to the internet, but only while using my wall port, and only this new computer, and only while connected through the router. Totally bizarre, right?I just built a new computer with a fresh install of Windows 7. I set it up directly connected to the router, where I applied all windows updates. I then moved it to where my old computer is, which uses a wall port to connect to the router in another room, where this new computer then fails to connect to the internet or to the router's setup. The new computer's Ethernet LEDs will light up, and the computer will automatically obtain an IP address, but will not connect to the internet or even the router setup.
