Hi
Someone must be using "route based on physical nic load". I wonder how the uplink physical ports to be configured? LACP/LAG whatever in Cisco term.
We have Cisco 3850.

on the topology above , I have R1 and R6 on AS 1, R5 on AS3 , R2,R3,R4 on AS2

I would like to have Routers on AS1 (R1 and R6) Not take route through AS3 to reach routers inside AS2, instead I want AS1 routers to go straight to AS2 through R1 using BGP Default Local Preference command on R1

you can see in the config below on R1 :
bgp default local-preference 600


Below is the BGP route configuration on R1, R6, R3. As you can see R6 is going through AS3 to reach routers in AS2 instead of going straight to AS2 through R1

If you need more info , please feel free to ask.


Thank you

Anyone has experience connecting Chinese office to US?  One of the options is going through Hong Kong but the connection if very poor we heard.

Any other vendors or solutions we should look into?  Fiber connectivity?   Just need to have a reliable connection to one of our US data centers.  Please advise.  Thanks!

How set equally load balancing for 3 different ISPs

Please find the exsting config, after this configuration i am unable to get load balancing in order, always traffice goes automaticly from interface FastEthernet0/0/0 every time i dont know why its happing.

Maximum time uses:-
interface FastEthernet0/1 - 20% (4Mbps Link)
interface FastEthernet0/0/0 - 30% (2Mbps LInk)
interface FastEthernet0/0/1  - 50% (2Mbps LInk)

why every time traffice use primery interface as a interface FastEthernet0/0/1, please suggest what need to be changes for traffice move in order, example:-
interface FastEthernet0/1 - 60% (4Mbps Link)
interface FastEthernet0/0/0 - 20% (2Mbps LInk)
interface FastEthernet0/0/1  - 20% (2Mbps LInk)

Hi experts,
i need some advice. i have about 50 pc's on our company network with 1 file server that these pc's access for AD,DNS, DHCP and our financial application(uses access database). we currently have a 48 port 10/100 switch with 2 gigabit uplink ports as the backbone and then 2 gigabit switches connect to this backbone switch. i was aiming to replace the 10/100mb backbone switch with a full gigabit switch but budget is a problem at the moment. would the following work as a temporary solution for about 3 months: I will install a very entry level 8 port dlink gigabit unmanaged network switch as the backbone, connect my server and links to other switches to this 8 port switch. so from the 8 port switch i will connect all 4 network cards on my server to this switch as well as the link cables from my 3 larger switches. I know this is not the best solution but i just need something that will do the job for a few months? or would this small 8 port switch take too much strain?

can I ask a few basic questions in relation to Symantec backup exec.

1) what is the underlying database which stores all the configs, e.g. sql server or something else?

2) where is the management console can you see which accounts are authenticated for access? is access based on windows logins or accounts specific to backup exec?

3) in terms of the management console configuration, what needs to be backed up?

4) and is there an easy way to export all the current settings, e.g. jobs/schedules, backup selections per server (e.g. which drives) alert configurations and recipients, out to a single file for offline analysis?

5) is it application aware, e.g. by default does the standard package have the ability to backup exchange, SQL, AD, sharepoint etc.

what is the correct terminology used to get an a top level view and oversight of network infrastructure in use in your private networks, e.g. firewalls, proxies, routers, switches, wireless controllers etc. I would like to request a copy for asset management and CMDB purposes to see what interacts/depends on what, but need some idea on the correct terminology for such a diagram/document.

aside from SQL Server databases, what other types of files would need special/app aware backup processes. My understanding (albeit I am not a backup admin) is most default backup solutions don't backup live running database files, so you typically have to use the DBMS backup features and then use your backup solution to 'backup to backup'. I just want to do some assurance work that the backups our admins are doing is either using an application aware product which can handle running files such as databases, or whether they are using other tools such as the DBMS in built backup features to do them.

also apart from SQL databases, what other files need special backup arrangements, e.g. what else would not be covered by standard backup programs, in your standard windows network environment?

Dear, I got this error from today morning. All the servers in this network range could not be accessed like attached screenshot.

When I tried to access these servers from the same ISP (which provide this network range to us), the servers COULD be accessed; but when I tried from other 2 ISPs, they COULD NOT be accessed.

The servers are Window Server 2012R2 Standard, have Kaspersky, Firewall but they are configured properly, nothing change (this error started from today morning)

Can you please suggest?

what documentation would you expect to see an IT department have in place specific to their backup/restore processes? I am trying to get a better idea of the process from a risk and compliance angle, but need to identify either some useful probing questions for the team who do backups, or request some documentation that you would expect to be in place.

Hi,

Let's say I'm an ISP and I lease a 10G transport pipe to an IX (Frankfurt or Amsterdam), with the purpose of buying transit from 2 different tier 1 providers (2 resellers, probably) and peering with content providers.

What happens inside the IX?

Do I get one switch port and I have to rent rack space for my own equipment there? The peerings are physical, with cables between my switches and the peer switches?

Or I only get a VLAN and the peerings are inside the IX main router/switch? And I route the traffic from my VLAN to my peer's VLAN?

Or?

I've googled for the past days, but I'm still confused. Anyone has real world experience with this?

Thank you.

i have a veeam Job which backup 6 vms(jobname= job1). Sudenly this Job not working any more , after that i cloned this Job (jobname= job1.clone) and work good at the Moment.
but still exist on the NAS storage , .vbk and vbr files. they are prox :900 gb .of Course i would like to use this space for job1.clone Job.

i changed restore Point under job1 and deleted part of vbk,and vrb. But still there is data which i cant delete manually.

Please help to delete These old files.

Thanks in advance
