If your after the Hyper Terminal setings I think they are ath same as Cisco ones. Bits per sec : 9600 Data bits : 8 Parity : none Stop bits : 1 Flow control : none and just use a standerd null modem cable for console conection to pc.

OK we need to set up a new VLAN with a new privet IP range probably class B so a subnet of 172.16.0.0/16. Then we must enable routing on the controller but if we just use static then as Bruce seas “Routers on other subnets will need to be aware of this "router" and the IP range.” But not if it is NATed using the one original IP address of the controller. If we don’t NAT then any computers on the next hop from your original internet router will not know how to send traffic back to computers on your new VLAN so the internet would not work. Also we must set up a new DHCP pool on the controller and tell it to issue IP addresses on the new VLAN but from what I can see this can only be done on VLAN1, so this will be the new VLAN and VLAN2 will sit on your original network Then configure the uplink port if you only have one controller this would sit on VLAN2 untagged and Bobs your uncle. If you have more than one controller you will just do this on the master one but then configure the uplink ports and any switches and controllers in between with VLAN1 untagged(because it’s the management VLAN and carries all other VLANS) and VLAN2 tagged. This might not be 100% accurate instructions as I ran through it on an Aruba controller and not a Netgear one but here goes step by step. Warning this involves changing the controllers IP address. 1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced > Switch > General > VLAN page. Click Add to configure VLAN 2. 2. Configure VLAN 2 as follows: A. Enter 2 for the VLAN ID. B. Enter a address from your existing range for the IP Address and Net Mask. C. Select the uplink ports that are connected to the existing network (To add physical ports to VLAN2, click Add in the VLAN Members section. Select the port to add to VLAN2). This should be the native VLAN so that it is untagged on 8 for uplink 3. Click Apply. 4. Now you must Access via new IP address just set 5. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced > Switch > General > VLAN page. 6. click Edit for VLAN 1. 7. Configure VLAN 1 as follows: A. Enter 172.16.0.1 for the IP Address and 255.255.0.0 for the Net Mask. C. Select the Enable source NAT for this VLAN checkbox. 8. Click Apply. 9. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced > Switch > General > DHCP Server page. 10. Select the Enable DHCP Server checkbox. 11. In the Pool Configuration section, click Add. 12. Enter information about the subnetwork for which IP addresses are to be assigned. Click Done. (Default router will be 172.16.0.1the controller and network is 172.16.0.0 with a mask of 255.255.0.0) 13. If there are addresses that should not be assigned in the subnetwork: ( E.G 172.16.0.1 the controllers IP on VLAN1 for routing) A. Click Add in the Excluded Address Range section. B. Enter the address range in the Add Excluded Address section. C. Click Done. 14. Click Apply at the bottom of the page. 15. At the top of the page, click Save Configuration. Sorry for any mistakes but it gives you both the idea of how to set it up.

Yes but you might also need to route trafic between your vlans to make things work corectly. Also there is much more info in the ArubaOS manual instead of the netgear one.

On the links between switchs u must have one vlan untaged and set as the primery vlan to carry all other vlans between switches. This is normaly the managment vlan1. E.g. Switch 1 uplink should be configed to vlan 1 untaged and all other vlans taged with vlan 1 set as primary vlan. Do exactly the same on switch 2 and wen links ar conected all vlan trafic should now pass between switchs.

We use a rm cc3 network and don't seem to have any problems as rm seem to have the gpo's for laptops spot on the only tweeks that I have done is Microsoft ofline files. And if running sophos you must disable onaccess scaning of any M$ ofline files or it frezes up and is slow to respond.

Do your laptops support 802.11a because if they do just get a A band access point.

Ok made my own reg patch in the end and looks to have worked! No problems so far!!!

OK well ill leave that Job for the summer, Thanks Geoff

OK I have a server with a LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-0X and need to replace it with a new LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-2E (because I need the SCSI 320-0X for a older server that doesn’t support PCI express) To do this I intend to install the controllers side by side load the new drivers for the 320-2E, then power down and plug HDD’s into the new controller and power on. As long as the settings are identical on the controllers pre boot menu are identical I’m presuming it should boot up with no problems. Obviously I don’t want to rebuild the entire RAID array and reload from backup if I can ovoid it. Anyone see any big problems with this plan? Can I hook the drives upto another raid controller with no data loss? Is there any danger that if i try a different controller, my data will be lost?

RM do an application (downloadable from support) to allow you to login to CC3 and access you’re my documents but I don’t think it works on the new OS so RM are moving people to ADmitMAC. What about web based outlook on a MS exchange server? That should work on Safari OK.

Well I take it no one on here has done it before, so it looks like I’m going to have to figure it out myself.

I know It been a while but did you find anything for Procurve Training locally? I think the best bet would be the Cisco CCNA. The CLI’s on HP’s are basically the same with a few miner differences that you would pick up in no time if you did the CCNA. P.S. CCNA can be done at Wiltshire Collage at the Trowbridge campus.

BUMP:)

Ok what I am trying to do is port a Windows 2000 Server from one hardware set to a virtual machine. For this I have used Ghost and Microsoft Virtual PC so far and this worked fine by using support.microsoft.com/kb/314082 and support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811408 to get the IDE drivers into the offline Ghost Image (and changed the HAL but that’s not the problem). I would like to take advantage of the faster virtual SCSI support of Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 but there are no Microsoft Tech documents to load the Microsoft Virtual Server SCSI drivers into an offline Ghost image (e.g. the server is not yet booted into windows). I know I need to make a registry patch file for the Microsoft Virtual Server SCSI drivers “msvmscsi.sys” but looking at support.microsoft.com/kb/314082 I have no idea where to start. Any pointers in the direction would be much appreciated?

What is the ROOT password for the NAVAHO team cat?

Go into the web frount end and in the menu select "Shared Folders". Select the yellow icon for the share you whant to remove the password from. And under Access Restrictions select Disable.

I’m running a RM CC3 network and sometimes use “Bat To Exe Converter” to convert BAT scripts so they Ghost run in the background so the users cant cancel them. Download And then lunch the exe from a MSI by using “Windows Installer Wrapper Wizard” Articles - Windows Installer Wrapper Wizard (WIWW) 0.2.0 Or it can be just lunched by the RM application Agent by using an RM package ini file. (I use “Windows Installer Wrapper Wizard” as I come from the vanilla world) This really helps when you have a script that you only need to rune once and want to send it to fix all of your workstations.

Try NetBootDisk.com - The Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk for M$ Networks they have almost all nic dos drivers on that boot disk!

I had exactly the same problem and it is the SWGFL routers IP rules. With the old ISDN routers the SWGFL didn’t used to block the traffic but when they upgraded everyone to fibber they changed the ACL’s (access control lists) to only allow your designated IP range network traffic through by default. I have an open Wi-Fi network in a privet IP range routing through my SWGFL network. If you call them up and explain the situation and give them the IP range they can make the appropriate changes to there routers ACL’s.

About 3-4 months ago with RM and when I and the ICT rep started talking about some of the fetchers, every other statement was not yes but this is planed for development in the near future. Personally we have had older versions off Kalidos in the past and the staff have not got on well with the systems to the point where they where uninstalled Frog just ticks all of the boxes for our pupils, staff and us as tech support.

100% Frog there VLE system in way more advanced than the current version of RM Kalidos VLE. And also RM are promising functionality that they haven’t even finished codeing yet, as there concentrating on getting CC4 stable first. If you don’t believe me just get the Frog and RM in for a free demo (that’s what I did). RM has some nice mock-up screen shots but that’s about as fare as it goes. For us it was a close call between an in-house moodle system and frog, but as I and my team don’t have enough time to tweak with moodle we are going for frog next September. RM Kalidos was even below Uniservaty in brownie points when I did my VLE investigations.

Wininstall LE, Orca, Windows Installer Wrapper and Bat To Exe Converter are all the tools I use for all my packages. Wininstall LE is actually the same tool that RM package builder frontend is built over. But as it can be a bit messy and include bits in packages you don’t want so I tend to use Windows Installer Wrapper if the install exe will do a silent install. Orca I use to make MST,s (Microsoft MSI Transform File) for existing MSI’s that just need things like the product key and local settings put in. Bat To Exe Converter I use in conjunction with Windows Installer Wrapper to send out BAT scripts that only need to rune once to fix a problem on workstations. (E.G. the Sophos uninstall BAT script for when that brakes and will not uninstall to allow a re install)

I have found the Aruba wireless system excellent and can’t fault it as a whole site solution. We first implemented it in a new 6th form building that was being built with 4 classrooms upstairs and 4 downstairs and a large study centre room. In the building there are 2 trolleys of 16 laptops one on the first floor and one on the second floor and a study centre with 50 laptops. When all of the laptops are in use in the 6th form block the Aruba dose an excellent job of dealing with such a large amount of laptops in a small building. This all runs off 11 Aruba 65 access points and a 3400 controller. When roaming around the building with a permanent ping to one of our servers it didn’t even drop a packet it’s that good. We are using Aruba 65 access points to tack advantage of both the 2.5mhz and 5mhz 802.11g and a radio frequencies. We now have 3 roaming trolleys of 20 laptops with 1 ap on each trolley and the 65 dose just a good job when roaming as it does in fixed rooms. We are slowly rolling AP65’s across the whole site (the roving ones are just a cheap temporary messier until we put fixed points up). We are now in the process of rolling it out across the whole site and I am going to trial some pre 802.11n Aruba access points in two rooms where we are going to have classes of 30 laptops. I also have an Aruba 800 controller running In local mode but you still configure the ap’s through the one 3400 master controller. It just uses the 16 ap licences from the 800 and they get all the config piped through the 800 from the 3400 master controller. We used REACT technologies to do the wireless survey, support and quote on the equipment as they are the only official UK distributor but you can’t buy the hardware direct (all other distributors in the UK have to purchase through REACT). We purchased the hardware through Misco who sell it on REACT technologies behalf as a reseller. The only downfall with the Aruba is the price. But there is a cheaper alternative with the Netgear managed system which is an Aruba 800 controller running a software restricted version of ArubaOS 2.5. Unfortunately these 2 systems are not inter-compatible as Aruba systems have moved on the ArubaOS 3.1+ which was a complete overall of the protocols. There is an access point limit to ArubaOS 2.5 witch I think is up to 48 access points by using the max of 3 x 800 style controllers that the Netgear is based on. Also there is no AP grouping functionality in ArubaOS 2.5 its either Whole Site or signal AP configuration. I use this functionality in ArubaOS 3.1 to group ap’s into faculties and pumping out different SSIDS so that a MFL laptop doesn’t try to connect to my maths block AP’s. So overall I strongly recommend the Aruba system but if funds are tight and you need less than 48 access points I would also strongly recommend the Netgear WFS709TP system.

If you want the XP look use server 2003 not 2008 and don’t forget to turn terminal services into user mode not client mode for home use or it will cash your TS CAL licences on individual users home desktops.
