What "Network discovery .... software" do you recommend that will do something like https://www.solarwinds.com/engineers-toolset ?

 1. Users =50
 2. VLAN = 1
 3. OS = Windows 10 Pro
 4. Switches = HP, willing to purchase NEWER models since mine are OLD
 5. Cost = under $500 if possible, but OK if more

I have  cisco switch, a 3850 and created a port channel for 3 ports.  Each port is a 10G port.  On the other side, I'm using a synology with 4 (1G) ports. I did a LACP on that side as well and bonded 3 of the ports.  It shows the link at 3000 Mbps.

On the cisco switch, the port channel shows a speed of a-1000

Not sure why it's only connecting at 1000, but when I did a speed ?, it only gives me the options of 10, 100,1000, auto and nonegotiate.  I tried auto and it puts it back to a-1000.  I tried nonegotiate and it didn't take that command.  So how do I get the port channel to run at 10G, so it can at least transfer at 3G?

Dear Experts,

I need your assistance regarding 40net/40gate firewalls, i need to know a list of CLI commands that are commonly used for daily operations to troubleshoot end users issues.

Thanks for your attention to this question.

Dear All,

- Have two Access Points configured in Client mode with following Static IP addresses :
1) 192.168.28.1 / 255.255.0.0
2) 10.1.28.1 / 255.0.0.0

The  Above Two clients should be connected to Access Point

- on the other hand Computer will connect to the same Access Point in order to download data and access the two Clients

Need to know Network Configuration (IP /Mask / Gateway) for Laptop & Access Point in order to access clients by laptop ?

Thank You

We have a SonicWall 2650 with Content Filtering enabled to restrict website activity for those on the physical network and those on VPN. We are having problems with folks using their company devices to go to non-authorized sites when they are not on VPN or on the physical network. They are using a company-issued wireless device or their home ISP to gain internet access. It would be great if we can somehow force all of their traffic to go to our SonicWall for filtering without having to create a VPN connection (tends to slow things down on these machines).  Perhaps a proxy server (but only for external users since our internal users are already protected by the SonicWall?  Would it be best to install a third party product to block site access (would have to work on all possible browsers)? Maybe something else? Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hi, I ran this wireshark network protocol analyzer with no programs open, including no background programs. I ran it for three minutes. I have the report in csv and in pcapng format.(I've changed the latter to a .txt extension to upload).

Can someone let me know if there's any odd network activity going on? Thanks. If you need more information, let me know, this is way over my head.

Our organization has deployed couples of Cisco 2960x switches stacked with Flexstack plus. Whenever our end users and application team experiencing slowness on the application, they always blame the root cause is related to Cisco switches network devices. Our question is what command can we use on the switches which can provide evidence/reports to prove that the bottleneck or the root cause of the slowness is not related to the Cisco network switches (e.g. CPU, interface utilization, errors etc.) ? Not sure if there is any guideline from Cisco as far as network switches performance is concerned?

Thank you for your kind advice in advance.

Hello Experts,

I am at a customer site and I see that they have fiber connectivity  from distribution switch to access switches. When I look at the configuration I do not see any UDLD protocol applied.

My question is can I apply the UDLD protocol on the distribution switch and access switch globally and will that affect the uplinks. I am hoping to not have any distruption on the network.

Please assist

Hi

When adding an IP to an outside interface on a Cisco ASA,  what IP information do i need from my ISP

I believe its just an public IP address and subnet mask? Do I need a gateway address?

HI Experts.

I have this policy map on most of the switches at my organization.  
Policy Map AUTOQOSPOLICY

    Class AUTOQOS_VOIP_DATA_CLASS
      set dscp ef
      police 128000 8000 exceed-action policed-dscp-transmit
    Class AUTOQOS_VOIP_SIGNAL_CLASS
      set dscp cs3
      police 32000 8000 exceed-action policed-dscp-transmit
    Class AUTOQOS_DEFAULT_CLASS
      set dscp default
      police 10000000 8000 exceed-action policed-dscp-transmit

We are now replacing the existing phones with a new cloud base phone system and they sent me these requirement for QOS and the vendor gave me this policy to use on the switches

Hello Experts,

I am at a client site and he has a bluecoat packetshaper s200, the client has ordered a replacement hard disk and it has arrived, I would like to replace the hard drive on this device. I am hoping someone can guide me through the process,

I know that I have to open the box and remove the old drive and put the new drive. I need help in backing up the configuration file and IOS, One more thing I like to know is to determine which drive needs a replacement, I do have access to the gui but need the right steps to do that.

Thanks,

Hi

I have a network with a Layer2 link back to a datacentre which provides our internet connection, we have no firewall onsite at present but looking to install one.

We have ordered an internet connection on premise.

We want to keep our Layer 2 connection and make use of it somehow.

We want to use the new internet connection on-premise and a firewall to route the internet. What's the best way to do this?

Dear Experts,

I am at a client location today and they have a local server that will be accessing different sites with various ports. The client has ASA firewall and Cisco Firepower my question is do I add the access rules in Firepower or directly in ASA?

I am always not sure and the client has no preference.

Please let me know from your experience how to tackle this .

Thanks,
