RE: Perhaps the BEST hotfix ever that you may need to install
The amount of *time* to execute a command and the amt of *movement* to execute a command are not always proportional or even related. Type out each the lines of A and B below, which takes longer for you to duplicate on say, notepad? Which one takes less time? Which takes less physical movement? A. This sentence which is forty-nine characters long B. yjif awbrwbxw qguxg ua di Which is 25 characters long. Takes more calories to run your eyes along and type the longer sentence, takes more brainpower and time to process the 2nd line. Of course optimized code would be C: This sentence which is fo, which is short like B. AND fast to process like A. To reach C simply takes training, but I digress...

one-off traffic analysis
I just got a new client whose networking guy, quite frankly, I think has majorly messed up their configuration. (I may not be a routing/switching/Cisco expert any more - but I played one about 8 years ago.) Their edge is a ASA5510 and I'd like to run traffic reports against it. Is there any easy (and free) way to do this without setting up all of MRTG? I've got full access to the device.

RE: DHCP reservations explained...
If DNS stops responding, what's working? Having said that, I see your point. We (%dayjob%) have 3 DNS servers and I suppose you're right, a perfect storm of all 3 being offline would prevent other systems from being monitored. At %I.T.GarageClient% if DNS is down then I'm already working one of the two or three servers that matter already and my clients aren't getting any work done anyway. Along these lines, what's the worst chain of issues you've seen? During our move we had three simultaneous SAN issues - fibre channel controller was dead, two drives (in different containers thankfully) died, and a redundant power supply in the SAN went out. What relies on this SAN? Our file shares, Exchange, 80% of our SQL DB's At the same time we have new audio-video and that the vendor neglected to mention they have some multicast(?) turned on that flooded our switches, making the servers that could run really spotty to hit from a PC. SAN guy not happy, network guy not happy, but my DC's were fine, lol. Dave From: Michael B.

Outlook 2007 and auto-add to contacts
I know in older versions of Outlook, there used to be a setting to automatically add anyone you replied to to your contacts. However, that appears to be gone in 2007. That was a useful option, which we really miss. I did some Googling and it appears that you have to buy an add-in to get that functionality back. Is there any one plugin that y'all prefer for this?

Jonathan, I appreciate the advice of the community here, but as I mentioned, the user's Outlook was non-functional due to the presence of the previously installed Acrobat. What changed since I installed that 2+ years ago, I don't know, however the user was *DOWN* while this was in there, so I had to get them back up and running ASAP.

RE: DHCP reservations explained...
I *would* recommend having a proper host file available but not in
production. Personally I’d use it only if name resolution dies, but if I
had a host file on every computer then the chance of some system somewhere
not having the most current increases, and the chance of lesser trained
staff copying an older version to a new box instead of the ‘master’ current
version increases. {don’t ask how I know}

because my fellow SE's have their server monitoring set up to look at

Re: DHCP reservations explained...
I have a hostfile I keep in a central location.
There's a scheduled task on each server that copies it daily. The only risk
is that if I stand up a new server, I might forget to create the task, but
it's on my checklist, so not too likely.
Of course, I only have 10 servers...

RE: DHCP reservations explained...
I don’t disagree with your assessment, just that my choice would still be
DHCP reservations given the low incidence of name resolution problems I’ve
seen. YMMV, and thanks for the alternative.

Re: DHCP reservations explained...
I think this depends on one's environment. If you only have a handful of servers, manual configuration is fine, even preferred. If you've got 100 servers, manual configuration is unwieldy at best, and if you ever have to renumber your network, you're in for a lot of work. We manually config our servers, but DHCP our printers. I always go for static IP addresses for servers, printers, and the like. Only regular PCs are in the dynamic address pool. hosts files I don't use. If DNS is down, nothing's working anyway, and DNS will be my first priority. But we're a small shop (2 person IT department). In a large shop, you might have enough people that you'd want them working other issues even if DNS was out. So monitoring by IP address, or with a hosts file, might make sense. Maybe. I don't think I'd ever want to get in to copying hosts files around to *all* servers, though. I can't see that ever being worth the potential troubles. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

Re: DHCP reservations explained...
I am not fond of DHCP for server management, even though I will admit that it is a viable possibility. I prefer the flexibility of configuration that is possible when you have statically mapped IPs, and I've done this with hundreds of servers in various environments. In my experience, I've seen more things go wrong (particularly in smaller networks) with DHCP than with DNS. (Admin deploys new networking device with DHCP server functionality turned out, etc) Sure, DHCP maintenance of IP addresses means that you can change them quickly, etc, but I can script that if necessary, and I've probably performed major IP address changes a half dozen times in the past decade and a half (including consulting clients and my home network). But, it's just me. I'm not going to get too religious about it either way. *ASB *(My Bio via About.Me http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker/bio) *Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage...* * * On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 2:16 PM, Erik Goldoff egold...@gmail.com wrote: I've always liked DHCP reservations over static IP addresses for servers where possible for ease of management Single view of most servers from DHCP client list simple to change parameters globally ( default gateway, primary DNS, secondary DNS, etc ) without having to visit each server less likely to experience IP in use conflict from out of date tracking spreadsheets when adding new devices to the network etc, etc, etc but if your clients/applications use hostnames, then that's what I'd monitor for most checks, keeping a single/simple check using the IP address to cross verify against name resolution.

Re: DHCP reservations explained...
I was leery about DHCP for servers (especially as I did it dynamically) but it worked surprisingly issue-free. Totally depends on your environment though. We had total control of what went on to the network, and IP changes were almost non-existent. The only issues we ever had were with vmware templates trying to grab in-use addresses.

I am not fond of DHCP for server management, even though I will admit that it is a viable possibility. I prefer the flexibility of configuration that is possible when you have statically mapped IPs, and I've done this with hundreds of servers in various environments. In my experience, I've seen more things go wrong (particularly in smaller networks) with DHCP than with DNS. (Admin deploys new networking device with DHCP server functionality turned out, etc) Sure, DHCP maintenance of IP addresses means that you can change them quickly, etc, but I can script that if necessary, and I've probably performed major IP address changes a half dozen times in the past decade and a half (including consulting clients and my home network).

Re: DHCP reservations explained...
Entire Data-center go offline because something went wrong servicing the UPS in 'routine' maintenance. Several hundred physical, virtual, mainframe, etc that was also not a good night, last month :) There's a big 'portal UPS in a trailer with cables going into the building right now and some poor security guard that gets to stand near it until a replacement goes in.

Along these lines, what’s the worst chain of issues you’ve seen?

What relies on this SAN? Our file shares, Exchange, 80% of our SQL DB’s…. At the same time we have new audio-video and that the vendor neglected to mention they have some multicast(?) turned on that flooded our switches, making the servers that could run really spotty to hit from a PC.

RESOLVED: Re: Cisco 1240AG config problem
Glen, Michael, Brian, Thanks for your help in this. I do appreciate it. Been looking at this the whole time, in between interruptions galore... I got it finally - 'twas stupid target fixation on my part. I somehow got set on fa0.1 being the native VLAN, and on each subinterface being in its own bridge-group matching the VLAN number. Once I fixed that, it works just fine. For posterity, you have to make the management VLAN native (in this config it's VLAN 99 and fa0.99), and assign it to bridge-group 1, then assign the other VLANs to their own bridge-groups (and it's easiest, if not required) to make the bridge-group the same number as the VLAN). Then the IP address assigned for the WAP in the management VLAN has to be placed on the BVI1 interface. Lastly, always check layer 1 first. Just saying...
