<title>[HELP] CISCO 1811</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26867996</link>
<description><![CDATA[I work for a large national telecom provider. I've got a customer who doesn't want to pay the monthly fee for his E10 connection, but wants me to find a router that he can use.

Normally, we supply a Cisco 1811 router for internet access, which we recommend. Of course, the customer wants suggestions for a router with equivalent specs and capabilities, but not the one we are recommending.

Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, it also has to come from Memory Express.]]></description>

<title>Building global voice network design</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26868142</link>
<description><![CDATA[For the sake of discussions, let's assume the following

* Call center
* Corporate

Based on what I gathered, following is list of exploration

* Having Avaya phone system to support call center since I heard that Avaya is best solution
* Having Cisco UCM to support corporate as Cisco is best solution
* Having SIP trunks to one or more providers
* Possibility of maintaining private MPLS backbone/cloud to support voice, video, and data with multicast and one VRF for each network

I'd like to hear what everyone's opinions and thoughts regarding the following.

1. Avaya vs Cisco
* What are the financial and technical reasons of having Avaya system to support call center and of having Cisco UCM to support corporate?
* How should technical intercommunication in place be assuming there are both Avaya and Cisco voice systems? Should there be SIP trunks between the two systems?

2. One vs Multiple providers
* Beside redundancy and cost saving, are there any other benefits of running SIP trunks with multiple providers compared to just run SIP trunk with single provider?
* What are the financial and technical challenges of integrating local provider and global providers specially when companies as client do not manage the providers' network?
* What are the financial and technical challenges of integrating two or more global providers specially when companies as client do not manage the providers' network?
* Which factors to look of selecting local or global SIP providers?

3. Voice Firewall
* What are benefits and challanges of having voice firewall?
* Is it wise to use Cisco ASA as voice firewall? I never see any real-life Juniper SRX firewall implementation as voice firewall so I'm unsure if Juniper SRX firewall is better option as voice firewall

Thanks]]></description>

<title>TShoot Exam Take 2!!  (Last Test for CCNP...)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26879078</link>
<description><![CDATA[Okay,

I'm going back in again on Monday for another shot, and this time I'm guaranteed it'll be the right test.  The let things I'm spending the weeked going over are RIPng and IPV6 tunneling.

Nos, if you're around, I'd like to hit you up for some insight on the RIPng because I've never seen it used much but I've got plenty of study material to give me the basics (i.e., Chris Bryant's "Bulldog TShoot Video Series" and Chris Wallace's "TShoot Video Mentor Labs").  The trick is to get it the first time.  Otherewise, it will be $200 again the following week :-(

Here's to getting it the first time out of the gate!!!  :-)

<title>Phase 1 comes up on one direction only</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26785310</link>
<description><![CDATA[We are trying to build a ipsec vpn L2L tunnel between a Cisco 2811 router and Cisco VPN 3000 concentrator, using ESP/SHA/HMAC-160.

we can bring up the tunnel when we initiate traffic from the 2811 router but we cannot bring it up when traffic is initiated from the concentrator or it never gets through phase 1.

Any input is appreciated.

Thank you]]></description>

<title>CISCO SPA525G IP Phone</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26877216</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello!

I'm using a Cisco SPA525G IP phone with a reception sidecar. I'm running it through Linksys router with dd-wrt firmware update so that I can do QoS. The phone is connected to an off-site CISCO IP PBX. The call quality is generally fine but I am having an issue with the sidecar. I can select extensions and receive calls from them, however the sidecar is constantly flashing orange instead of the solid green (or red when the x is in use). I can't tell if someone is on the line or not.

Any suggestions?

Thanks]]></description>

<title>[Info] Class Project..</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26863759</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am a student in Networking program that uses all cisco hardware.  To make things fun our instructor has given us the assignment to "create" a small business.  We are supposed to create a remote access system for our virtual business.  This system has to provide network services on the LAN side (LDAP, DHCP, and NAT) and also has to have a remote access portion that includes a web server and email server.  

We are tasked with using only the equipment in the class room.  3 Cisco 2911 routers and 5 24 port switches.  We have many computers to set up as servers.  

Our first assignment is to try to find information from professional admins and get ideas about how we can set this up.

If anyone has a few spare moments and could give us some "tips from the experts" we would appreciate it.

Thank you. ]]></description>

<title>Cisco ASA 5505 Public IPs on LAN/VPN</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26865157</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm trying implement a more reliable and secure VPN solution for a small business I am working with. They are currently using the PPTP VPN solution built into Windows Server. I'm definitely wanting to get a hardware solution that more reliable and secure and I think the ASA 5505 will fit that bill well, but I have a couple of questions before I buy to make sure it will work with their network architecture. The ISP for the office is unfortunately AT&T U-verse, so the modem provided from AT&T has to stay in place. The office has a /25 provided and the LAN side of the AT&T gateway has an IP of 108.x.x.126. All devices in the office use public IPs from within that range and the net layout needs to stay this way. Can the ASA 5505 be configured to provide public IPs to VPN users like the Windows server currently does? 
Does the ASA support VPN while in transparent mode or does it have to be in routing mode? 
Lastly, if it has to be in routing mode, can the LAN side have public IPs if NAT is disable? The reason I ask is because the AT&T gateway has to stay in the picture, so the AT&T gateway LAN would have an address of 108.x.x.128, the WAN side of the ASA would have 108.x.x.125 and the LAN side of the ASA 108.x.x.124 (with NAT disabled of course).
Here is a diagram of the current network layout for reference. http://www.gliffy.com/publish/3236634/

I appreciate your help.

<title>[HELP] Cisco RV042 V03 - XBOX360 MTU Issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26869797</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have recently replaced my old RV042 V1 router that simply died of old age. The old unit had a telnet hack that allowed MTU settings to be adjusted on WAN interface and XBOX360 live worked great for years. The New unit has MTU settings in the web management interface, however regardless of what settings I use the XBOX360 Live cannot connect due to MTU error.

Here are the specs:

Serial Number : &#9;NKS11124402
Firmware Version : &#9;v4.1.1.01-sp (Dec 6 2011 20:03:18)
PID VID : &#9;RV042 V03

I have scoured the internet, upgraded firmware, tried everything in my power to get this fixed. Alas, I have failed! 

Basically new router works great with all devices for the exception of XBOX360, I have two XBOX360 consoles in the house both are having MTU issues with this router. I'm at my wits end, hoping someone here can suggest a miracle fix I have not yet tried.]]></description>

<title>Adding users to local DB in a 2950</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26858338</link>
<description><![CDATA[Any particular reason why it seems like I can only add a local user to a 2950 via console line only and not via vty?

I did aaa new-model and created a list that authenticates against local switch database. If I add a user via console it works, if I do it via telnet authentication fails.

Mebbe I'm tired

<title>Help with Verizon 3xT1 Config/Hardware for Cisco 2911</title>

<title>Cisco 800 Router stops responding after internet goes down</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26794300</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi, 

This has been a problem since day one.  IOS version is 15.0 which came with the router.

Ethernet4 interface is configured with a static IP and netmask to our Cable ISP provider.  Everything works perfectly until the ISP goes down then comes back.  Unfortunately the Cisco router stops working after that.

The cable company says they can see the interface is plugged in but they get no response.  No traffic in or out.  Only thing that corrects it is a router reboot.  The connection does not go down very often so it has not been a serious problem.  I'd like to get to the bottom of it though and fix it.

I configured the router using Cisco Configuration Pro since I don't deal with Cisco routers that often and can't be bothered to learn cisco command line configuration.  Here is the running config for Ethernet4 with public static IP replaced with xx.

interface FastEthernet4
 description $ES_WAN$$ETH-WAN$$FW_OUTSIDE$
 ip address xx.xx.xx.xx 255.255.252.0
 ip access-group 101 in
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip verify unicast reverse-path
 ip flow ingress
 ip nat outside
 ip inspect CCP_LOW out
 ip virtual-reassembly
 duplex auto
 speed auto

<title>[Config] Cisco 1921 and HWIC-1VDSL</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26643011</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi, I remember seeing some old posts about this, and I am hoping to configure the router to run my BT Infinity service.
I am brand new to Cisco, but have managed to configure the router to work with the supplied VDSL2 modem, using a forum members config..
I have sync/ Showtime on the VDSL2 card, (sh controller vdsl 0/0/0) so this is to let others know that the combination should work.
A "newbe" question, does the  interface for router to office network still need to be configured as VLAN, as it has to be to work with the supplied modem.
I would like to try to solve this issue myself, but an answer to the above question would help.
Thanks.]]></description>

<title>How would you do this? Complicated setup...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26787388</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok here is the scoop.

I have a centralized Internet connection out of my primary Datacenter.

One of my WAN locations wants to provide a guest wireless network, using my central Internet pipe.

I don't want the guest network to have access to the rest of my WAN, so I was thinking something like this below

Setup new VLAN going from AP to my Cisco 2801.
Setup a GRE tunnel, so this new VLAN goes via a Point to Point link to my head office router.
Setup an ACL on my head office router, so the traffic is denied to all 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, and 192.168.x.x subnets, but permits all else.

Does this seem like it would work?]]></description>

Also is there any word if Cisco will product a Mac OSX Lion (10.7.x) of their VPN client? The last version is really only meant for 10.4.x.

<description><![CDATA[I need to add another layer 3 switch to my physical lab. i already have an old cisco 5000 chassis switch but it just uses up way too much power to run a lab a day. what do you recommend for a good cheap 1u 24 port 10/100 layer 3 switch? 3524?]]></description>
