remote system monitor
Hi, just to ask a question I was thinking last days... how to monitor remote servers? (std ones, like mailserver, webserver,...) I want to make some tests with an old webserver, and my laptop, and want to use a not too complex agent, but with some graphical analisys on parameter like cpu/memory/disk and something that can ask apache, qmail,... Nice is also to raise alarms on certain conditions... I've tried sysstat (on debian-italian they gave me this hint), but I haven't found something that put all data together, do some graphics, and it's nice to have also some alarm, isn't it ?!? So I tries Bigsister... not so impressed... Now I'm looking at Nagios, and I've to say that it's really nice!!! I can attach some my plugin in C++ or bash, and it keep a graphical snapshoot of what's happening... are there any hints in this regard?... thank you 1000, fi
Cat 3 cabling
Hi all, I was wondering... what is physically different between Cat 3 (10BaseTX) and Cat 5 cabling (100BaseTX and better)? Does Cat 3 cabling have less wires or something? Besides looking for text written on the cable, is there any way to know which is which? Hope someone knows the answer to this, as I've never actually seen Cat 3 ;-) Sincerely, Jas
Re: Cat 3 cabling
Cat 3 cable is the quality of 4-pair wiring used for voice connections between PBXs and analog telephones. Turns out, it is 'good enoug' for 10 M/s Ethernet (10BaseT) but not good enough for 100 M/s or GigEnet. Cat 5 cable is also 4-pairs, but the manufacturing process is more precise (pitch of the twists, different for each pair; wire gauge; insulation thickness; etc.). As a result, the Cat 5 impedance is more uniform and produces lower signal losses. The better impedance matching carries over into the connectors, which are newer designs (almost all IDC, more precise punch-down blocks) than the Cat 3 (screw posts and relatively sloppy 66 punch-downs. Bill So in essense, since they are both 4-pairs, just looking at it won't let you know which it is (without actually testing it)? Any way to turn Cat 5 into Cat 3, and vice versa? Thanks.
Re: Cat 3 cabling
Hi Jason, I'm not 100% sure, but the connection pin-to-pin is the same, I think, just it's a straight connection, not done in a proper way so to ensure the Cat5 quality of signal... so, it's not a test of connection, more a test of quality... I cannot see why to downgrade the quality from Cat5 to Cat3, maybe if you remove the wire gauge and wrap the cable around your mobile phone! ;-) Viceversa, the Cat3 cable give strange results on connections, and on my Laptop I cannot link to my hub if not with a Cat5 cable (with Cat4 don't link). .02$ fi Cat 3 cable is the quality of 4-pair wiring used for voice connections between PBXs and analog telephones.
