Patch Panel To Firewall / How Current Setup Is Done There Is No Configuration Map
Mar 16, 2011
I have DSL, a firewall, patch panel and hubs.The network was already in place by three previous techs. I am not sure how the current setup is done there is no configuration map.The users in office 1 are all connected to a patch panel that then connects to hubs The second office users connect to a hub that then connects to the patch panel then connects to another hub.The internet is connected to a router that will be replaced with a firewall. Should it be setup like thisdsl modem > firewall > patch panel > hubs > Nodes
I currently have the following set up in my basement: Modem to 8 port router which has cables going into a patch panel which in turn provides internet access at 8 wall outlets throughout the house. My data/video streaming needs are expanding and I have had additional wiring pulled to the new locations. I would like to know if I can bypass the patch panel and go from the Modem to a 24 port switch to individual wall plates throughout the house.
Am running Cat6 cable to my cellar. I plan to run a face plate in the walls of all rooms where there will be an ethernet connection. Originally when I did this in a previous house I wired two rooms together i.e. a face plate in one room and the other end a face plate. I did a cross over cable for this so when connecting anything at the other end it would talk to the device in the other room i.e. room A NAS straight through to face plate, room B PS3 straight through to face plate for example.However as I will be connecting multiple rooms together in to a patch panel then switch / router how will this then work? For all rooms where there is face plate do I crossover all cable to the patch panel or straight through? If straight through to the patch are my patch leads then cross overs to the switch?
info on RJ45 patch panel wiring standards. Is there an Australian standard that specifies exposed cable pairs be not more than 13mm at termination point (RJ45) wiring cat cable?
Recently bought a NAS (Synology DS212j), upgraded to a gigabit router (Netgear WNDR3700), and now want to utilize the pre-wired ethernet ports in our condo. How to do this last part.
Do i just plug one of the LAN ports from the router into the wall using a Cat5e cable? Then the signal will be routed to all ethernet ports through the patch panel?
I located a patch panel in the closet, but not sure if its wired correctly or which connection goes where. I took some pics that you can see here: URL you can see in one of the pictures that some of the cables are only connected at one side.
I am renovation my own house, and I have started to hard wire for the network/s, but I am also trying to incorporate so much more than any previous “wireless” setup I have had, well I am a bit confused to say the least.I would like to set up a home network and media server system which includes:Internet browsing (multiple rooms and wireless) File sharing, printer sharing, scanner etc Music/Video sharing/streaming, TV etc.I have started wiring (we are renovating) with Cat5e, and have just replaced the old POTS (telephone) wiring with Cat5e and taken the individual telephone wires (including the incoming telephone cable) back to one central connection unit in a network patch panel. This has improved the speed of my DSL download connection speed from 1.2mbs to 6.2mbs. unreal!, so that did get me a bit fired up!I am currently wiring data points (Cat5es from each room) back to the same panel, but to be honest I am not really sure where to go from there! Also, I have wired Sat cables back to this point ready to be connected to sat TV (dish) in case if we get it. This patch panel is in a small passageway that goes through to the garage from the house. It is conveniently located next to the mains board which I have just replaced. My original idea was to put any extra needed equipment in the same location, but looking at it, I think that I may have to think again, for there is little room. I have found a small alcove in the upstairs games room which has a shelf, and which could take any hardware, also it will be dust free (unlike the place leading to the garage). I can run as many cables as needed from this location to the patch panel, but obviously I would like to know how many, as I am not familiar with networking on this scale, my only other experience being wireless setups. For example, would the switch need to be located where the patch panel is, or else can it be on the shelf with the other stuff? (away from the panel), and the existing D-link 4 port router?? is this no longer required?Im presuming i will need an old PC or some sort of media storage device here too... no ideas with this either. Have tried asking three different computer stores, got three different answers...?!
Have I dropped a clanger wiring to the passageway, when infact any server/switch or whatever wont be in the same location?Also, I am planning on getting a MAC book, and would like to use this on the system sometimes (might not be relevant), just thought to mention. And, I was thinking of trying Linux, as I am fed up with all the windows problems. But not sure if that is a good idea either.We have TVs in the (when its finished) media room, also three other areas, which I would like to get connected so that they will be able to get either TV or watch a film from storage wow this is getting complicated and if it matters I do have a PS3, which we only really bought to use as a TV storage system/recorder.
I am holding a DPC 3925 Cable Modem to connect to the internet. The wireless is great and all but i need something more.I need to connect another 8 cat6a cables to it to complete my home network. should i use a switch or patch panel or something?And not all 8 cable will be on wired. One or two connections are needed to extend the range of the wifi. What device can i use?I've got a ps3, NAS and media box that probably need the network connections to the main DPC 3925 Cable Modem.
I have a 6500 connected to 3750 using fiber connection using patch panel.on the gig port of the 6500 give of error in Input errors, CRC and FRAME.There is no error from the 3750 gigport.

we have a pix 515E firewall with software version Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 7.0(4) and ASDM version Device Manager Version 5.0(4). we are in a process of upgrading the software. Kindly suggest the software and ASDM version most fit for the device. Also the software should be compatilbe for the current configuation running.
what user name do I use to access the E2500 configuration panel. I have used the computer name, adm, adim, and the router default password and I canot log on to the configuration panel.
I am going to replace my Netgear DGND3700v2 router with Linksys EA6500. I hope that the signal strength of this router will be better, particularly for 5GHz.The problem is that I have a cable connection to Internet and my line has MAC address of Netgear assigned by my ISP. I would like to clone this address to EA6500 to test the power of the signal, before making the final decision to replace Netgear.My question is how to do this in off-line mode. I cannot have Internet before cloning.I've been using Internet Explorer with various addresses - 192.168.0.1; 192.168.1.1; myrouter.local; even 192.168.2.1 and some others but couldn't get connected to EA6500. Of course, the original CD suppied with the router does not work, either.Is there any other way to get to router configuration panel to proceed with cloning the MAC address?
I'm about to setup as ASA configuration with GNS3 ASA. how to best test the configuration once complete? I need something like a verification plan to ensure that the configuration would perform if in production.
Everything was working fine till one day, when clicking on Configuration Button you see setup wizard prompt.It's ASDM ver:6.2 and ASA 8.2. Everything is working fine, but now unable to change any rules.
I Changed my old firewall by an ASA5510, since that change my internet connexion is slower.Some websites takes longer to display.I would like to know if there are some specific configuration about TCP connection or DNS to setup?
I just configured the ISP DNS :
Dns server-group DefaultDNSname-server 194.2.0.20 name-server 194.2.0.50
I have been having an annoying issue for the past few weeks with my ASA setup. We are using the ASA as our Remote Access Gateway and originally had it setup in a Active/Standby failover configuration using 2 x 5520 ASA's.The original setup of the devices was that the 2 x ASA were setup in a failover configuration, with both of them connecting back to the internal network via a 6500 device. Because of using failover I created a VLAN on the 6500 and put the two ports that connect the ASA's into that VLAN. I then configured the VLAN interface to be the EIGRP interface for the neighbour relationship to the ASA's.
The problem I am seeing is that the EIGRP neighbour relationship between the Active ASA and the 6500 keeps flapping. It occurs abour 4-5 times every day at randmon intervals. Sometimes the neighbour relationship will stay up for 6-7 hours, other times it flaps every 1-2 hours. I initially thought it was due to the failover configuration so I removed one of the ASA's and removed all of the failover configuration, but the EIGRP neighbour flapping problem still exisits. [code] Since removing the failvoer configuration I am thinking it could be a physical cable problem?
We have 2 ASA 5510's setup in an active, standby failover configuration. When the primary fails over to standby, the 3rd party cert does not failover to the standby ASA. The users then receive the CERT missing, invalid message and have to select yes, no to move on. This does not occur when the primary is not in failover mode. It is my understanding that failover fails over certs but in our case it does not apper to be working correctly.
I have an AT&T Router that is my gateway to the internet, I have no access to it. I do have the inside ip address of it which is on my private LAN. Just for shiggles we will call it 10.25.240.1 255.255.248.0. That is my gateway address for all of my current devices.I have this shiny new ASA that I want to throw in there to eliminate a proventia and a sidewinder.
The diagram shows two stacks, these are my virtual server clusters with 3560X switches with the vlans configured, and several more switches all configured with vlan 832, connected to a 2950, which is connected to my internal 2600 router. I have 4 Vlans running on 4 different ip ranges, all controlled by the internal router, with only one vlan, let's say 832 that is trunked to the outside world. That vlan has 172.16.1.x 255.255.0.0 network attached to it. All is well, and traffic is routing behind the internal router, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the traffic to pass thru the ASA. [code]
I have an ASA 5520 with a DMZ with private addresses that I SNAT to my outside network. From inside the DMZ I can reach servers by both the internal private IP and the public IP, except if the IP is from the server trying to connect. So, say I have server1 and server2. I can connect from server1 to server 2 with both public and private, but can't connect from server1 to server1' using the public IP. ASA logs show that packets are being denied due to land attack. DNS doctoring is not an option for me.
I have networking skills but I am unsure of how to properly configure routing so that everything can be seen on the network and access internet.Switch is for all towers/servers and router is for laptops.
I can not get to my control panel. I have tried 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1,. I do have it flashed with DD-wrt. I can access the internet with it, the lights look correct, I don,t believe it is bricked. I have tried hard reset and soft reset.
we had this cisco router 1901 in one of our remote office and the management wants to configure 4 wireless pc's to only talk to each other for security reasons.
1. is this possible to do in wireless? i know in VLAN this can be done by assigning pc's in port in a switch. 2. if possible, how to implement this setup
We recently moved into an office space with a Siemon HD5 panel in the comm room and outlets in cubical spaces. We have an internet feed into the building and we are trying to get all the outlets live. Right now we are using multiple routers to run a cable to each outlet on the HD5 panel. Internet feed to router1 outlets through the HD5 panel & to router2, and router2 to outlets through the HD5 panel. Hope that made sense.This seems very cumbersome to me. Is there a piece missing? How do we get the internet feed to the HD5 panel so we don't have a room full of four/six hole routers?
Here is my current config, how to enable and setup NVI on a cisco 1941 router.i think it would fix my issue but i'm unclear on how to implement it to test.
i would like to be able to access an internal server from an outside address.
I'm new to managed networking. So I'm having trouble understanding how to set up my switches properly. I have a closed network with about 20 switches and 2 IDF's. No router, and no internet. I have a SLM 2024 in want to have 4 ports set up with a VLAN. I have another SLM2024 I want to be on the same VLAN some where else. Switch 1 uses port 24 GBIC as and up link port to one of the IDF's. Switch 2 uses ports 12 and 24 copper(LACP) to make a hop from another switch(ports 1 and 13 LACP)which inturn is connected to the same IDF on port 24 GBIC. How do I set up switch 1 ports 7,8,19,20? Also, how do I set up switch 2 ports 7,8,19,20? VLAN 11
I just installed Windows XP Professional on my Toshiba-X205 laptop and I am having a problem getting the OS to detect my NIC. I can not remember how to go into the control panel and configure settings so the OS will detect my wireless network or should i say i can not get my OS to detect my NIC so i can to connect to my wireless network. I think i may need to install the device driver for the NIC but i don't remember which driver i need for the NIC of my laptop and i can not find it on the Toshiba website, not supported anymore.
