What's the distance from the two points where you're looking to put the antennas? I'm certain you could do it cheaper than 2-4k

The fibre patch is reversed on one end so it's like: Switch A ______ Switch B Receiver <--- Transmitter Transmitter ---> Receiver Also look in the switch's logs around the time you plugged the GBIC in, you can use `show logging` on the switch to view it.

FYI we use those transceivers in those switches. IIRC there should be a light that stays on permanently to indicate there is a transceiver present in the slot, this can also be checked with the "show tech transceivers" command. Example from our switch: SW-OFF-TOP# show tech transceivers transceivers Transceiver Technical Information: Port # | Type | Prod # | Serial # | Part # -------+-----------+------------+------------------+---------- 25 | 1000SX | J4858C | MYXXXXXXXX | 1990-4395 27 | 1000SX | J4858C | MYXXXXXXXX | 1990-4395 28 | 1000SX | J4858C | MYXXXXXXXX | 1990-4395

pls, pls fix our trackpad issues with our netbooks. Time to get this thing into SCCM and a new image built!

Is there a new GPO pack to install anywhere for 1607? Can't see anything online...

You are indeed correct, I had it confused with the new Classroom app

You don't need Apple IDs if you're supervising and using an MDM anyway, just food for thought. Also School Manager requires the newer iPads (Air/Air 2 I believe, possibly some of the minis) and a recommended 32GB storage option or more.

You're causing yourself a lot of headaches if you're not integrating an MDM like Meraki, and Apple VPP with AC2. It takes probably the best part of an hour or two to setup VPP and Meraki, which will give you control over everything necessary to manage iPads in the classroom. Also you're breaking Apple licensing agreements if you're deploying paid apps without VPP.

I'm pretty sure blocking Command Prompt is more of a hinderance for power users nowadays, rather than a deterrent for people screwing with things? If you have things setup properly, users should still be able to use PowerShell and Command Prompt.

What are their roles at the moment?

Niantic announced at Comic Con the game is only like 10% complete. They're working on adding PvP battles, trading and a lot more. \o/

Do you actually need to use the Classroom app? From what I gather its only if you want to split user data up into "profiles" and is only supported on the newer iPads with 32GB or more of storage. Otherwise you should use DEP, Meraki MDM, and Supervision with Apple Configurator on a Mac to set the iPads up. This will allow you to assign apps to devices rather than Apple IDs, which means hoorah! no Apple IDs necessary

We had no end of issues with VM. They were throttling us down to around 2Mbps for about 22 hours a day and they couldn't tell us why, despite admitting we were nowhere near their throttling group. This went on for about 2 months before I told them to get screwed and went over to BT Infinity. On VM we were getting 120Mbps, we get 76Mbps from BT at the moment and can't notice a difference in day to day browsing, and downloads are just as fast. Plus, we don't have to deal with VM's awful proxying that they shove YouTube etc through. Admittedly the advertised speed is slower, and our broadband has cut out for a few minutes a few times in the past year but apart from that we've had no issues what so ever. I kind of hate VM with a passion now, their customer service was shocking and they showed no sign of remorse or effort to fix the problem.

You might want to change around how you configure your link to the SchoolsBroadband router. If you go back and look at our switch config we specifically put the SB router on it's own VLAN and subnet so that what we do internally has 0 to do with the router so long as our core switch can route between VLANs.

We don't see these on Education edition. Are you planning on deploying Pro?

ip helper looks at broadcasts and acts as a middle man, it's a different way of working to routing. A device doesn't need to be able to route out of a VLAN for ip helper to do it's thing.

The fact that your device cannot ping the switch IP despite being plugged into an untagged port for that VLAN is the alarming thing here, and the thing that's causing all your issues... personally I'm not sure where to go from here other than trying another switch!

When you connected a device to your switch (I'm assuming a Windows/Mac/Linux device with no VLAN capability) with a manual IP set in the 10.66.32.0/21 range, did you patch it to an untagged port in VLAN32 and try pinging the switch on 10.66.32.4? Untagged means any "normal" traffic on that particular port will be shoved into VLAN 32.

Is that your full switch config? I've just pulled our's up and it's relatively similar, so I don't think that's your problem. J9728A Configuration Editor; - Pastebin.com In this case devices on VLAN1 use the switch IP 10.0.48.248 for the default gateway. The switch then forwards this onto 10.0.0.1 in VLAN100 which is the SchoolsBroadband router. All VLANs route successfully between each other. Maybe WiFi guest isolation is on and wreaking havoc?

Does Ruckus do any tunneling or anything of that nature for WiFi/Guest WiFi? Your switch config looks fine to me. EDIT: Shouldn't cause any issues, but do you actually need RIP? (ip rip 10.66.32.4).

Are you using SCUP to publish those? We killed off Java, and Flash will be going soon enough.

I just tested it. CREATE USER 'blue'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `blue\_%` . * TO 'blue'@'%'; This will create a MySQL user called 'blue' and only allow them access to databases that are prefixed with blue_ in the name. This includes creating databases so they're forced to create databases with their names in, which makes backups far easier for you. It also gives the added bonus that if they run a `show databases;` on the server, they'll only see their own. Example of my CLI here with a user called tom_test with a pattern rule to only allow tom_ names: mysql> create database MyDB; ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'tom_test'@'%' to database 'MyDB' mysql> create database tom_MyDB; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | tom_MyDB | | tom_test123 | | tom_testdb1 | +--------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql>

See my edit. You can install the MySQL CLI to remote onto a server. mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD -hHOSTNAME Obviously you could provide a desktop shortcut for this.

You could install MySQL Workbench on the machines and have kids login to the MySQL DB on a remote server using their own credentials? This way you only need 1 DB server too if you setup permissions correctly. Could also do this using PHPMyAdmin. Permissions for MySQL: MySQL :: MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual :: 7.2.1 Privileges Provided by MySQL You'd want to give them CREATE permissions.

Highly recommend grabbing one of the higher powered USB AC adapters that come with iPads etc for that beast, charging takes an age otherwise!
