Dual rackmountable power supply?
Do any of you know if there are companies who manufacture 1/2U rackmountable PDU's that take AC from redundant sources? I have equipment at a colo that seems to have issues with one of the two circuits in my cabinets about once a month. Since it would be a real pain in the neck for me to retrofit every server with dual-ps, I was thinking this could be a possible middle-of-the-road solution. Thanks. -- Mike Sawicki ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Delegating /24's from a /19
Our organization has a /19 assignment from ARIN. We have given portions of this space to several other companies within our corporate umbrella. Several of these other companies have their own nameservers, and would like to be able to manage DNS on their own for their in-addr.arpa. blocks. What would be the best way to delegate authoritiy for them? ARIN is pointing to our 2 nameservers for the entire /19. Do I need to use some sort of RFC2317 method here, or would I be able to just install zones for each /24 with NS records pointing to the other companies' servers? Also, what are some good ways to test and verify that this is all working? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks. -- -- Mike Sawicki ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Verizon Sr. Manager in the NY/NJ Metro area

I have a dedicated t1 going on its 4th month on the books without being provisioned properly. Please reply offlist .. thanks. Mike Sawicki ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: COnfiguration Suggestion - Etherchannel

Because of the customer equipment, etherchannel was suggested as the means to do this (it is compatible with this customers equipment). I am running a 6509 with Dual SUP720's in IOS mode only (no cat software). It was pointed out that there are really two different ways to configure the switch - I guess my question is which is the best (lowest overhead, etc)? Hopefully someone out there has been down this road before. TIA Two methods: ! interface Port-channel2 no ip address switchport switchport access vlan 10 switchport mode access ! interface GigabitEthernet7/1 no ip address switchport switchport access vlan 10 switchport mode access channel-group 2 mode on ! interface GigabitEthernet8/1 no ip address switchport switchport access vlan 10 switchport mode access channel-group 2 mode on ! interface Vlan10 description Customer_Name ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0 no ip redirects no ip unreachables ! And then there is this way: ! interface Port-channel2 description Customer_Name ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0 no ip redirects no ip unreachables ! interface GigabitEthernet7/1 description Customer_Name EtherChannel Interface #1 no ip address channel-group 2 mode on ! interface GigabitEthernet8/1 description Customer_Name EtherChannel Interface #2 no ip address channel-group 2 mode on ! I would use method #2 above.. L3 FEC produces better balancing results as it is flow based, rather than mac-based. I'm not 100% certain that using the SVI interface would not produce a proper balance, but I doubt it. Using method one I would expect only one of the links to be used. Use method 2 especially if you mean this to be a L3 handoff to the customer. Mike Sawicki ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
