I am currently working for an org where we are removing our Meraki infrastructure. Nothing is set in stone yet as I need to check all the politics involved, but we are looking into donating our old switches, and later, wireless. I’m just using this to gauge interest, below will be the requirements and terms for anyone interested: -Name of school/charity -Location -Current switching infrastructure -How the switches would benefit your school/charity On top of the above, anywhere potentially selected would need to confirm all correspondence from their organisational email address, and have approval from the business manager or headteacher. The equipment would be donated on an as is basis, a document would have to be signed saying they will not be sold on for profit, that no warranty or support is implied or given, and that they will be disposed of correctly come their EoL. A license will be required for each device, but I believe Cisco offer very good rates for non-profits. At the moment our inventory is over 350 switches. Batches should become available between May and Dec this year. All switches are MS120 series, currently still on sale and in support. The majority are 48 port PoE, with some 24 port PoE, and some 8 port PoE. We will also have MR44 access points become available this year, but we do not yet have dates for these. We are located in the North West. Any potential interest please let me know below, along with how many devices you would need. If there’s enough interest, I can take this back to management and hopefully make this works. Cheers

Hi All, ODD one. We use a 'route-map' to determine what to forward to our smooth wall cluster for filtering (or really the loadblancer). and this route-map refers to an ACL which defines if its a network we want to forward on or circumvent the smoothwalls. Up to date this has worked perfectly. However: as of a few days ago. Our ACL which contains an object-group (with a load of Microsoft Ip's in). Seems to only process down to the object group part of the ACL. Everything after that seems to be ignored. (or thats what the hit counters when viewing the ACL would appear to indicate along with Ip ranges suddenly not receiving transparent filtering) My question anyone has seen this before/know a fix? Thanks

Hi Everyone, I'm planning to learn CISCO CCNA, does the following hardware is good enough to get to know basic IOS stuff ? Cheers, Albert

We have a dedicated call center in our hospital. We are using a IP PBX software from a outsourced vendor. The software is installed in our PCs to attend the enquiry calls.The client pcs using in call center is a data vlan in one of the access switch. The server IP PBX software is installed in data center server farm switch. For the past weeks, the software was having some issues at some time, when i checked with the vendor they said software side is ok upon checking on wireshark logs. They have made several observations & fixes - Key Observations: Wrong Sequence Number (Red Entries) - RTP packets are arriving out of order or being lost, likely due to network congestion or QoS issues. High Jitter Values (Max: 7.03 ms) - Increased jitter can degrade voice quality, causing choppy audio or lag. Packet Loss (0.00%) - No significant packet loss was observed, but sequence errors suggest potential packet reordering. Clock Drift (-79 ms) - A lack of synchronization between sender and receiver clocks can impact audio quality. Cause - Solution. Network Congestion - Prioritize RTP traffic using QoS settings on the firewall or router. Jitter & Delay - Implement jitter buffers or increase buffer size in VoIP settings. Packet Reordering - Check network routing and MTU settings to prevent out-of-order delivery. Clock Drift - Ensure both endpoints synchronize time using NTP. Pls help me what to do from the core switch side or on the access switch side. NOTE- When I checked the ping status from the client PC to Server IP there is no drop or that much latency. Core switches are CISCO 4506 model Access switch for call center department is Aruba Instant ON 1930 model.

Ok, Quick question, I work in a High School and ive been asked to research into setting up Guest Access on are wireless for users that don't work in are school and things like Iphones etc without having to give out the WEP Key to teachers and such like. All I want them to have is Internet Access nothing more like file sharing etc. I've noticed the new Apple Access points can do this, AirPort Extreme Base Station - Apple Store (U.K.) (See guest access) we have Cisco Aironet 1230AG points all over the school and i was wondering if anyones had any experience in configuring them?? We are a brand new school (well 2 years old) so are tech department has pretty new equipment and i hope are points can do this. Thanks Steve

I've got a new Cisco 2851 with 20mb of a T3 going in one end, and two gigabit ethernet ports coming out the other. Our student net is currently plugged into one of those ports, and nothing's on the other. Soon we'll move the faculty/staff net over to the unused ethernet port. It's currently on a different router with a different pipe. Output of "show version" starts with this: Cisco IOS Software, 2800 Software (C2800NM-SPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(3g), RE What I want to do is split our 20mb connection to 15/5 between the 2851's two ethernet ports. Our student net would get 15, and our faculty/staff net would get 5. I'm pretty sure I can configure the second port to get the network up, but I'm not confident with limiting the bandwidth usage. Here's my guess at the rate-limit command: config terminal interface g0/0 rate-limit input 15000000 24000 24000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop rate-limit output 15000000 24000 24000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop Does that sound right? Do I need to provide more info?

Hi all, I consilidated two switches into a stack. both have multiple VLANS and I'll give an example here; sw1 vl 2, 3, 4 sw2 v 12, 3, 4, 5 I decided to re-use sw1 and keep the config and wiped sw2 and stacked. So far so good. After configuring the uplink trunk to allow vl's 12 and 5 this is what happens vl5 works fine vl12 picks up an IP address but can't go anwhere, can't ping the default gateway etc. It can ping other devices on the same switch stack. So conclusion is DHCP is fine as it uses broadcast any vl traffic for vl12 isn't leaving the switch. I can't see any reason why I've checked for relevant ACL's both on the edge switch and the core switch. These are all Cisco switches. Can anybody think of what I'm missing?
