Patch Panels Connected To Switch
Oct 11, 2011
i want to understand how patch panels work, so far the google searches that ive done only adds more confusion.i bought a patch panel and iam in the process of buying a switch, here is what i am doing, i cut a 2 feet long ethernet cable and i punched down the cables to the back of the patch panel ( straight through)then the other end i put a RJ45 that goes connected to the switch. and i leave the front of the patch panel for PCs etc. is that right? but some info out there point out to punch down the cables to the back of the patch panel that come from the PCs,

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.

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.

Unfortunately, my new PC is about as far away from the router as possible, which makes my wireless solution (£5 802.11n USB dongle) ineffective. I was looking into powerline Ethernet to solve this but then it occurred to me that my solar panels may interfere with its signal.Is this true? is it possible to get a strong wireless signal through 30m of stairs, walls and doors?

My computers Network adapter (integrated with the motherboard 'no fancy stuff') disables, though only when I'm putting a bit of pressure on the system. i.e. when playing skyrim etc.I have resolved the issue temporarily by connecting straight to the computer instead of the inbetween switch, but at the cost of only being able to connect this computer at home. The strange thing in my opinion however is that when we have 3-4 computers all connected through the switch, only this one has this error that keeps occuring.I've checked into the power savings settings, as I'm conviced it's some kind of setting on my machine, and set them to max performance as well as disabling windows from beeing able to disable the NIC to save power.

Basically, my home network is comprised of a WRT54GS Router which the cable modem and my main computer are plugged into (as well as vonage, networked printer). That leaves one port open which is used to connect a Dlink DES-1105 10/100 switch. I am connecting it using a crossover cable, though that was not necessary.I just noticed that a computer connected to that switch gets MUCH less download speeds at speedtest.net, and it gets STUCK on the upload test (doesn't even start).I unplugged it and plugged it directly into the router for testing. I get 20-30 megs down (like I should), rather than 5-11 like the switch gave me (ONCE the switch gave me over 20, not sure why..)The upload test NEVER runs though. I've tried different computers as well. I tried setting the computer to "100 full duplex" manually and no luck.

My Dlink DIR-615 had worked flawlessly for almost 7 months now.But since last week it started showing problems.All the computers connected to LAN thru the switch could not access the Internet but the Server(192.168.0.100) which is connected to the DIR-615 could connect to the internet.the above screenshot was captured thru a laptop running Win7 Ultimate connected to the DIR-615 thru WiFi-n.Even after repeated Reloads the same error cropped up in the browsers in the computers connected thru the switch.The computers connected to the switch could access the Internet after I restarted the router.

From the broadband modem/router connected with a Gigabit 8 port unmanaged switch. Then, one WAP4410N is connected to the switch, wired connection for a distance of 90 meters. WAP4410N is set as an access point to the area. Then the second WAP4410N will be run as a repeater to the first WAP4410N. My question is that, can we set the second WAP4410N as a repeater, without the need for it to be connected to the switch via ethernet cable.

I have inherited a custome with a bunch of SG300's in their LAN room and one out in the warehouse.I need to setup a VLAN and the genius before me did not label which LAN room switch the warehouse unit plugs into. Is there a tool/method I can use to find which switch, and port this warehouse switch is connected to?

I just upgraded to GS605 Netgear gigabyte switches on my network, and I use Cat 5e cables, so I can use the gigabit Ethernet.
One of my Windows PCs seems to have a very slow connection. I see an active 1K link on the switch for this port, and Windows reports that the link is running at 1 Gbps, but the computer takes 3-5 minutes to load Amazon.com and has ping times on the order of 700 ms.
I have another Windows 8 PC that works perfectly fine, and I have a Mac mini which is also connected to the switch and works fine.
If I take the Ethernet cable from the messed up computer and connect it directly to the router (not the switch), it is fast again. However, connected to the router, I'm back to 100 Mbps speeds, not gigabit speeds.ipconfig gives the following output:
-Hostname: my computer's hostname
-Node type: hybrid
-IP routing enabled: no
-WINS proxy enabled: no
-IP address: my computer's DHCP address
-MAC address: my computer's MAC address
-Default gateway: my router's IP
-DHCP server address: my router's address
-IPv6 address: something long (I'm not familiar with IPv6 addresses)
-Various tunneling adapters, which are all disabled
I have had other computers in the same port on the switch and they all work fine. I also plugged this computer into a different port and had the same problem. Netgear tech support wasn't useful.I actually have another switch of the same model, but when I replaced this one with that one, it had the same problem.
I confirmed gigabit speeds between two other computers, both connected to this switch, so it does work at those speeds. Those computers also have fast Internet.I don't have any clones MAC addresses in my network, and as for logs.... the only place I can think is the log file from the router. I didn't even think of that, the only other place would be event viewer within windows.This computer dual boots Windows 7 and Windows 8, and has these issues in both OSes.

We have a 3750X VTP Server and the rest of the switches are clients.
Due to cabling issues, we have a switch (Switch F) that we can't connect directly to the 3750X so we have it connected through another switch. Everything is set to VTP client with the correct domain and password but this not-directly-connected switch isn't receiving any VTP VLANs.
Anything I need to do on Switch D so that Switch F can receive the VTP updates?

I am attempting to install an asa 5510 at my hq. Our MPLS network is provided by our ISP and the routers are managed by them. They will be working with me to add the needed routes to the routers. Using version 8.4.1 That said, here is my challenge:
I am connecting the MPLS routers and WAAS device to my core switch(also performing inter-vlan routing) in VLAN 2. There are 3 connections needed for the mpls equipment and they are all in vlan 2 on my core switch. The firewall (ASA 5510 with security plus licensing) also has an interface (outside) in vlan 2.
e0/0
shutdown
no nameif
[Code]....
configuration guides or suggest TAC as they have been a bit inconsistent with this issue thus far. What am I missing because I cannot get to where inside interface of the firewall is pingable by the lan and the outside interface of the firewall is pingable by the lan.

I'm currently volunteering at a children's group near me. They've just moved offices and are wanting a computer network in place. I have quite a bit of experience with hardware and software troubleshooting, but anything past the server is beyond me.They have a telecommunications box, as many places do, and the box has a set of patch boxes that are, according to the telecommunications people, plugged in and good to go. Each office has tunnelling on the wall with network sockets, again the norm.

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?

I need to patch our ACS server to 4.2.0.124.17 from 4.2.0.124.6. My question is, do I need to apply the same patch to our remote agents? Cisco's documentation only states that both the ACS and the Remote Agents need to be 4.2.0.

properly patching and/or cleaning the ACS version listed in the title.
First off - what does the Cleaning utility do?
Second - I have obtained the two following files:
ACS-4.2.0.124.17-SW
ACS-4.2.0.124.16-Clean
Can these both be used to correct a problem we have with our current installation?

I just moved in to a new place and have connected my Wireless router (WRT610N) to my switch located in the smart panel in the basement (SE2500). Plugging my ultrabook in to the wall confirms that the signal from the switch in the basement is being sent up, however if I plug my wireless router in to the jack and connect to the wireless router I have no internet access.

I have an airport extreme router connected in my basement. My family room Ethernet connection is connected directly to the airport extreme. I can access the internet by Ethernet in the family room just fine.What I want to do is use a WRT31N as a switch in my family room so I can connect Mulitple Ethernet devices to the network. I'm having a hard time doing this. How to set up the linksys router? The airport extreme ip address is 10.0.1.1. I tried setting the linksys to 10.0.1.2 and turning off dhcp, but didn't work.
