RE: Octets ???

One octet = one byte. Since there is 8 bits in a byte you would multiple the octets by 8 to convert to bps. I personally convert any graphs or other data that is in octets to bps when dealing with LAN/WAN performance data. If your talking about server throughput most people talk in bytes. Ji

RE: Dsl Backup Line

I'm guessing since you are using the Ethernet ports on the router you must have external DSL routers. Are both DSL lines going to be up all the time? If they are then you should be able to configure your VPN tunnels and the tunnels would be active all the time. Then you could use floating stati

RE: 2948G-L3 troubles

Your right about putting the bridge groups on the subinterfaces. It just didn't look right to me when I first looked at it. After reading the doc CD I agree with you. You should be able to do a show vlan on the 2948G-L3 and see all the vlans from the 2948G. Jim -Original Message- Fro

RE: Microsoft Radius (IAS)

I've used it a couple of times with Cisco and Ascend boxes and it works great. It's the poor man's way to authenticate to an NT domain since it's free. I'll have to check my home lab to see how I have it configured. Seems like I do remember a problem I had to refer to Microsoft's documentation

RE: concorde

I have used it through several versions 3.0, 3.5, up to 4.6. I have always found it to be very stable and to be the kind of tool you can't do without once you start using it. It's biggest drawback of course is it's well over 6 figure cost for a medium network. To rediscover elements after a

I just recently was called out to a customer site who was complaining that while they were using Norton Ghost sometimes they would get great throughput and other times it would be dog slow. The workstation being ghosted was plugged into a switch port at 100 full on a cat 5000 and the server was

RE: Secondary IP address

You get the benefit of being able to add another subnet to single router interface. Such as: ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 secondary A drawback is that nodes connecting to that interface that are on the different IP subnets would need to bounce off the ro

I had a problem circuit like this once. The line would be good for a while and would then go down for 8-10 hours sometimes longer and then come back up. The line would go down, I would call the telco(AT&T), they would run some loopback tests. Everything would be fine on the line. They would s

RE: 2948-L3 switches !!

The 2948G-L3 runs IOS and is really a 50 port router. The 2948(I believe) runs the cat 5000 firmware. I'm not real sure exactly what you are trying to do, but if you are wanting VLAN information you will need to do either ISL or 802.1Q. To use the 2948G-L3 as a "switch" you will have to config

It depends on what type of traffic the BRI is being used for and how much data is being sent/received. The best thing you could do is to pull stats off the pipeline 50 with SNMP with a tool like MRTG, Lucent VitalNet, Concord NetHealth, HP Openview depending on your budget ;) so you can view sta
