    Switch recommendations wanted.

    Now that I think about it, can you take a picture of the cabinet?

    Switch recommendations wanted.

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004D3QOPA/?tag=snbforums-20 I have had decent luck with these units before. Rated for 50c operating vs the standard 40c most devices in this price range seem to be.

    Router Advise please

    To be fair, even an Intel Atom will wipe the floor with any consumer router. Add in a server grade Intel NIC with offload/ECC/buffers . . . it hits gigabit without maxing out the CPU

    Firewall Router with gigabit internet

    There are a few types of firewalls on the market. The most expensive; NGFW and UTM firewalls will run an antivirus/malware scan on traffic going in and out of the network. The best ones can block traffic based on heuristics, not just signatures. Budget models are slow and still require an annual...

    Cisco SG350X Switches

    They are full 10gbe switches. No 10/100/1000 ports at all. The 350x supports static routes, the 550x supports RIP

    Newbie questions about Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite (ERLite-3)

    Yes, I did 1392 as well. All three were a bit higher but not by much. I do remember it was not 100% wirespeed (patching from one port of the switch out to another got me that confirmation) but def above 95%.

    Newbie questions about Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite (ERLite-3)

    I have tested an ER3 with the NAT masquerade and SPI firewall enabled to 1890mb/s at 512 packet size. This was between two Xeon e5-2690v3 based servers. The servers were connected to an HP 2920 switch on a 10gbe card over SFP+ DAC. The first server was tagged on VLAN 10 with the second tagged...

    Switches that allow the LEDs to be turned off

    If you have a home theater and are trying to watch a movie it really sucks to have a bunch of blinking lights right under the TV. Especially when all the lights are off.

    Switches that allow the LEDs to be turned off

    Linksys SE2800 Has a soft button on the back to turn off all LEDs until the next reboot. Edit: The Linksys SE4008 does as well. AFAIK its the exact same unit as the SE2800 but with a different chassis and warranty.

    Vlan Switch Advice

    Did you get the LGS 308p or just the vanilla LGS 308? The model with p at the end is the POE unit.

    help with multiple switch fabric config

    There is one thing you can do for redundancy. Connect an ethernet cable on port 1 of the router to Switch A, and call it 1A Connect an ethernet cable on port 2 of the router to Switch B, and call it 2B Confirm that you didn't break anything and that spanning tree is working as intended. If...

    Multiple public static IPs

    It depends on how the provider set it up. There could be a /30 address that you need to connect to first and the other addresses are allowed to route through that gateway. Eg xx.xxx.100.1/30 gateway xx.xxx.100.2/30 your router and then behind this router . . . xx.xxx.157.x/29 subnet with your...

    Advice & Questions (looking at MicroTik & Ubiquiti...or?)

    Get a tone generator and inductive amplifier such as the following unit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00APD16D2/?tag=snbforums-20 This way you can ID from the jack easily.

    A home router that supports upnp

    The Linksys RV042 was great. The Cisco RV series was not so great. Hardware quality kept dropping on every new revision, as well as more and more bugs showing up in the firmware. As a consulting company we simply stopped using them if we get too many "unplug and plug back in" to solve an issue...

    Advice & Questions (looking at MicroTik & Ubiquiti...or?)

    1) yes 2) Generally speaking the Ubiquiti is easier to work with as long as you update to the latest firmware. The mikrotik has more in-built features such as Radius server and finer traffic shaping. If you are just going to use the router as a gateway, maybe some port forwarding etc. but no...

    Router Advise please

    For learning I would stick with the Ubiquiti. for reliable home use . . . we need a bit more background information. IE. what intended goals are you trying to reach from these units? Wiremaps and diagrams also help.

    Multiple public static IPs

    What you are thinking of is called classical routing. This is not what your ISP gave you. One example of the way it will work is as follows: xx.xxx.157.2->router, NAT Masquerade->192.168.1.x/24 network xx.xxx.157.3->router, One-to-One DNAT->192.168.1.10/32 VPN server 1 xx.xxx.157.4->router...

    Suggestions For Captive Portal Setup on LAN Port /Asus Merlin

    HP Procurve config help

    Check with your ISP as to what needs to be tagged/untagged on port 1 port 2 untagged VLAN 101 port 3 unknown, test it both ways port 4-24 untagged How are the TVs connected?

    Router reliability

    Yeah but you are also comparing $3-7000 worth of new hardware plus configuration to . . . what? A $20 best buy special? Even your beloved mikrotik CCR line with a specialist paid to configure it is less than the $3000 or so needed for all true server grade parts with fully redundant hardware.
