I am trying to setup a home network where I have multiple low bandwidth or rather lower bandwidth links coming in. They are suppose to be broadband but I do feel the need for a fatter pipe. Since this is in India and we have limited availability of bandwidth options like here in the US I thought if I could double or even get close to doubling my bandwidth using some sort of device for link aggregation or a network / pc setup which can achieve thisThe links I am getting are above 1mbps, possibly even 2mpbs and its relatively cheap, 100$/yr so I can add 3-4 to get desired results. A dedicated 10mbps connection costs nearly 12000$/yr so I have a lot of margin to create a substantial pipe without the cost if what I am thinking is possible.
I have a Synology 1512+ and trying to setup Link Aggregation but no success. I have configured LAG Management with LACP enable or disable but still failed.
At the Synology 1512+ setting page, there are 2 options: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation and Network Fault Tolerance (Non-802.3ad network enirovement), I selected IEEE802.3ad, which i think S200-18 should be able to support. right?
what is the difference between "link aggregation" and "STP"?
For example: I have two switches connected with two ethernet cables together. Why I will use link aggregation on trunk ports (without load balancing) when STP will do same service?
I've been having some issues lately where if I am copying large amounts of files two and from my NAS and thus saturating my gigabit ethernet, web browsing and internet streaming slows down which is a bit of a bummer. I figured I might fix this with link aggregation.
My switches (Procurve 1810G-24 in basement and 1810G-8 in office) both support 802.3ad Link Aggregation. It works beautifully to connect them together, as well as to connect my FreeNAS box to the switch as well.
how do I set it up to work with my Windows 7 box?
I can't find the options for 802.3ad in the windows menus anywhere, and googling has not led me to the answer yet...
My motherboard has two on board Intel gigabit ports (Intel 82574L and Intel 82579V). Is it possible to link these two, or do I need to pick up another Intel PRO PT dual port copper gigabit NIC like I have two of in my server?
We want a solution for routing between N5K and VSS with aggregated WAN links.
DC1: It has 2 cisco 6509 with VSS. There are 4 server farm cisco4948 switches connected with VSS with redundant uplink via MEC. Server gateway is the VSS. VSS is running Eigrp routing.
DC2: This is a new datacenter we are going to establish soon. We are planning 2 N5K at core layer with L3 daughter card and 4 N2K as server farm switch. 2 N5K will have vPC peer between them. Each 4 N2K will connect with redundant uplink via vPC with this N5K. N5K will run Eigrp routing and will be the gateway of this new DC server.
WAN between DC1 & DC2: DC1 VSS will connect with DC 2XN5K with 2X10G links. we want to do MEC at VSS side and L3 vPC at DC2 side. If we have VSS at both end it might not be a problem. Both the link will work together as 20G aggregated link. But as we are using N5K at one end, so it creates a confusion whether it will work properly is this scenerio or not.Also I would like to know,
1) In VSS I have configured 1 VLAN interface for server gateway. But in N5K do I have to configure at 2 switch seperately?
2) In WAN routing VSS shows as 1 device. Does this 2 N5K will show as 2 seperate hops or L3 vPC will allow them to act as a single device while traceroute from one end to another end.
I'm trying to setup Link Aggregation on this switch for an HP server with a 4-port NIC which is teamed. I create the LAG and see in the HP Network Utility where each port in the team disconnects then reconnects and the server has internet access, but workstations cannot access the server (can't browse UNC, RDP, ping, etc.) and vice versa. This is the only switch at the site, all the workstations are plugged into it. Rebooting the switch after creating the group didn't have any effect.
I am looking after a mixed collection of Cisco and HP switches and use a Perl script to extract configuration data.I use the ifStackStatus table (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.2.1.3) from RFC1573 to sucesfully obtain the EtherChannel data from the Cisco switches but, though I do obtain data from the same table from the Procurve switches it seems to bear no resemblance to Link Agregation. I could look at other tables and may have to - but would like to use this one in order to simplify the code.
Having issues waking NAS devices using a magic packet when using link aggregation on an SG300-28 switch.
Without link aggregation everything works fine so I know the magic packet is being generated correctly and the NAS device is correctly configured to wake. After configuring link aggregation the device does not wake. Have tried dynamic (LACP) and static link aggregation but neither allowed the device to wake? When the NAS is powered off, the ports in the LAG still show as being connected at 100M but it appears the magic packet is not being transmitted.
if my SA520w will support link aggregation for network devices within my LAN. If so, is there a Cisco wiki or how-to on how to setup this up in the SA520w? I only find a brief mention of this in Section D of the manaul.
answer regarding stacking the SGE2010 switches versus link aggregation if greater than 1 Gb connectivity is required between individual switches? Currently have several switches in a stack configuration but would like to increase the bandwidth between some or all of the switches. Does stacking support a link aggregation configuration? If so what ports can be used and how should the link aggregation be configured in conjunction with the stacking?
I have two 2960 switches connected with two links. One of them is transparent modem connection with 2Mbps limit, and the other is optical link with media convertos on both sides. Is there a way to set up etherchannel, LACP or any other kind of link transparent to switches or I have to use some sort of STP?
I have two workstations running 7 Pro, each has a quad port intel card (PCIe) which I have created teams for on both sides using link aggregation. On my switch, a Cisco SG500X-24, I set up two LAG's with 4-ports each and have both servers connected as necessary. I turned on Jumbo frames and disabled energy saving. The teams were set up without LACP turned on, however I tried it with LACP and I also ran into the same problem. Both workstations have a 26TB arrays running in RAID 6 (so plenty of read/write speed), however, with this setup, I can only get about 100MB/s (single port speed) and multiple data streams cause the speed to divide. Only single ports blink on the cards as well.
Questions 1 is probably a no-brainer, but it's my first time setting this up, but once this is working properly, would it allow a single file to transfer at ~400MB/s or would I need to start multiple datastreams to take advantage of link aggregation.
Question 2 is what do I need to change to make the link aggregation work?
I do have a little linksys router plugged into a non aggregated port to do DHCP but that wouldn't mess anything up, would it? Considering I can unplug it once everything is talking, all the transfer should take place at the switch level, correct?
We have an ASR1006 and I'm just discovering net flow aggregation cache.
I tried prefix aggregation and worked fine. But i cant get any information when checking AS aggregation. All I get is 0 in source and destionation AS. [code]
whether VSS technology support on 3560 switches.I'm planning to intergrate new Cisco 2x6509 with VSS and all the access swtiches 3560's uplink to core 6509..if not support, what will be the solution or any bug fixing or new IOS releasing
We are running a Cisco 887VA router for our internet access but of course the port connected to the internal network only supports 100Mbit/s. There are a few 100Mbit/s ports on the router; I was wondering whether it was possible to use more than one port to provide aggregation to get higher speed such as two ports providing 200Mbit/s? We are running Gigabit internal.
I own a D-Link DIR-825, hardware revision B1, which I last night flashed to DD-WRT, DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) std, (SVN revision 14896), as per the WIKI page for my router on DD-WRT site.
I followed various tutorials to configure the settings in DD-WRT and my Internet on ISP IP address is flawless. However, I am having trouble getting the VPN settings into router pages. I want my entire WLAN/LAN to be able to use VPN direct via the router.
see my applicable screenshots from DD-WRT. I have deleted my password on the second screenshot to protect my account. As you can see on the last screen, I am not getting any message under the "state" and "log" windows as should be received if the VPN connected successfully.
NOTE: I have posted this on DD-WRT, HideMyA**, and D-Link forums to maximize my exposure and try to get a solution quickly. My intent is NOT to "spam".
Here's the situation, 2 houses, house #1 has internet, DIR-665 connected to Cable modem, between the 2 houses CAT 6 cable, house #2 has DIR-655. Both houses need to offer wireless. How should the DIR-655 (house#2) be set up? (SSID/DHCP/UPNP/IP/GATEWAY/SUBNET, etc)?
I have a DIR-825 coming. Do I really need that long to setup something? When I got my Netgear all I did was plug the sucker in. Two ethernet cables in the back. Done. Later on I added a wireless device in the living room so I setup a name and key. Done.I still have the same devices, except going to add my Girlfriends Daughter and QOS her bandwidth.
facing issues with TP-Link TL-WA801ND while setting it up as a Universal repeater.The AP is a Linksys E3200..and I got the TP-Link to broaden my WiFi at home, I was successful in setting it up, however, after a day or two I get prompted to enter a "WPA2 Enterprise" username/password.I DID NOT setup WPA2 Enterprise, mine is WPA2 Personal...it's peculiar that it works for a bit then reverts to Enterprise.
Ive just bought a new Toshiba laptop that support 802n, and have an old HP which does not.en choosing 802n only, the Toshiba for strange reason cannot connect to my router.
Can a dir-815 be setup as a repeater?? I have a Linksys wrt54g as the main router can the dir-815 be used to extend the wifi range of the Linksys router. If the dir-815 can be setup as a repeater how would I go about setting it up as a repeater?
I had to get a new router from verizon cause the old one died. so i reset the camera and wipe all the dlink software and settings. I then start fresh. i get all the way to choosing wireless and input the password. It states that there is a problem saving your settings. I tells me nothing more. I spent 4 hours on the phone with tech support and i can get it working through wired but I can't put it in my childs room wired. it worked perfectly before the router switch. funny thing is that its the same brand and model router.
I own the DIR-655 version B1 (EU version) living in the UK.I play xbox, specifically in Halo Reach. My setup isn't straight forward as I have 2 xboxes in the house, one wired and one wireless and I need to keep the NAT ratings open on both. This limits me to certain settings, and doesn't allow QOS on the v2.00 firmware due to my need to have dynamic ip addresses.I have just flashed the router's firmware with new version (DIR655B1_FW205B06) as it appeared available for download in the router's firmware menu. The old version was FW2.00 as said.any other settings to enable or disable, for wired, or wireless, that will optimise for xbox gaming. Finally, I also have fw version DIR655B1_FW206B02, which was emailed to me by D-Link, if this is any better.
Setting up a home network for someone who does not know any of the settings for the router, "someone" set it up for her. A laptop running Vista was accessing the network, a cable modem is used.I added a Windows-7 desktop, no problem. Connected an HP printer to desktop, no problem. Tried to connect HP printer which has a wireless function to wireless network, no-go, cannot find the security key to configure the printer.Tried to access the router with 192.168.0.1, admin screen shows, user does not know anything about password, tried default username, Admin with blank password, no-go.Reset router,
I have a DIR-655. Whenever I log into the router to review settings, I get kicked back to the login screen. I can't get to any of the menus. I'm running the A3 hardware version and 1.35 firmware on the router. I recently upgraded my computer from Vista 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit. The problem occurs with Microsoft and Firefox browsers. I was able to access the router using another machine on my home network running Vista 32-bit
I bought the dir-615 today and already have issues. I don't know much about networking and have an intermediate understanding of computers in general. When I run the CD Wizard the configuration says it has detected another router and asks if I want to replace it or add the new router with it. I do not and have never had a router previously. So, for whatever reason I can't use the wizard because of this. I followed the instruction perfectly and no dice. Installing it manually is a bit above my knowledge level.
I need to reset my 615 remotely. I will have someone on the other end push the reset button. I will then need to have them login to the 615 wirelessly. I'll establish a remote control session to their computer, and then I'll reconfigure the router settings. I know how to reconfigure the router just fine.
1) How long do you press the reset button, the manual says 10 seconds, is that correct?
>> 12 SECONDS
2) Once reset, is wireless turned on by default? I hope so, but the manual shows ENABLE WIRELESS unchecked... is that the default setting? Do I HAVE TO CONNECT VIA LAN CABLE TO "ENABLE WIRELESS" first?
>> YES
3) is the default ssid = "dlink" (no quotes)
>> YES
4) is the SSID invisible by default, or is it visible immediately after RESET?
>> IT IS VISIBLE AFTER RESET
The person on the other side can't access the router with a LAN cable, so once reset, the only way to get into the router will be via wireless; that's why I want to be sure I can do this before we do the reset.
We have a pair of N7K distribution switches connected to a pair of N7K Aggregation switches.We run vPC on both pairs of n7k's.
-n7k-d1 has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC1) -n7k-d2 also has two interfaces in a Port-Channel connecting to n7k-a1 & n7k-a2. (PC2)
My problem is that Spanning-Tree is blocking PC2 and all traffic from n7k-d2 is traversing the Peer-Link before reaching the Aggregation layer. Is this the best design for connecting two pairs of n7k's with vPC or if a better design would be to connect all 4 links into the same Port-Channel and vPC?
Presently I'm using the Wireless 150 DIR 600 router to share a internet connection between my desktop (with LAN cable from LAN port in Desktop PC connected to LAN port in router) and Laptop connecting wireless to router. Now I also want to create a LAN connection between my Desktop (LAN cable connected to router) and Laptop (wireless) using the same router. Is it possible ? If yes, how can do it ?
I remember the Virtual Server instead of Port Forwarding can be setup for multiple PCs to be Remote Desktop accessible from the Internet, but I forget how.
