    How to select stongest AP?

    OK we have 4 Linksys WAP54G AP's in the building. We have them on non-overlapping channels 1 - 6 - 11, and we need the wireless devices to auto select the closest AP with the strongest signal. We have Dlink USB Ae's but they seem to stick to one channel and one AP unless we rescan. Even after...

    VLAN's and Internet Access

    Cheer's - what about the servers? - would they be sitting on VLAN1 and would I therefore need to give this vlan an ip?, or would the switch access these servers over L2? Thanks

    Wireless Networking and Different SN's

    I really wish we had managed switches so I could introduce VLAN's but I'm playing with unmanaged switches which is proving to be a little more of a challenge. Thanks for the info anyway and if I can blag a managed switch I will look into thoese HP's. Any ideas with unmanaged?

    Wireless Networking and Different SN's

    I have a BB Router connected to a firewall which is connected to 8 stackable unmanaged switches. We have 50 client machines so are only using one SN on the 192.168.1.0 network. I need to be able to setup a "guest" wireless network so customers can come in and grab an IP and access the BB...

    VLAN's and Internet Access

    OK I need some config advice please off one of you VLAN guru's! I have a 24 port L3 switch which I need 10 VLAN's on, lets say VLAN IP SN's 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.10.0. Plugged into each switchport will be an unmanaged switch which connects to the clients. The remaining ports on the L3 switch...

    VLAN's and ARP broadcasts

    OK I am about to introduce 5 VLAN's on the Network but need to know how arp broadcasts will reach a machine not on their own vlans. There is probably an easy answer to this but please tell me! stompin

    Access this computer from the network!

    It is on the computer config - and your last point on hidden share ($) - thats exactly what I need to stop any user doing but without disabling the "server" service.

    Access this computer from the network!

    Ok I need to understand how to use the GP permission - "Access this computer from the network". I have created an OU and placed all my client machines in there. I have then created a GP and gone to "Access this computer from the network" and placed admins in there only. Applied this GP to all...

    VLAN's and unmanaged switches

    Ok to sort 4 vlans I would do this for all switchports I needed associated with a particular vlan... switch#conf t switch(config)#interface fastethernet 0/2 (whatever port) switch(config-interface)#switchport mode access switch(config-interface)#switchport access vlan X = x being the vlan I...

    VLAN's and unmanaged switches

    Ok were on a roll now - what about setting up the IP addresses for the VLAN's. How do I tell each VLAN which subnet (Ip address) they are on. And if I am using a DHCP server on VLAN 1 (on the L3 switch) how would I enable all machines on the other VLAN's to get an IP address from the DHCP...

    VLAN's and unmanaged switches

    Cheer's for that.. just to clear things up here. If I plug my servers into the L3 switch they should all be on VLAN 1 (default VLAN) right?, so I guess access to these devices will need to be routed aswell (from dept VLAN's), so there's no L2 switching going on to hit the servers - or is there...

    VLAN's and unmanaged switches

    Ok. V. Tight Company here who will only pay for one managed L3 12 or 24 port switch. I will be using this managed switch to setup 4 VLAN's for depts. The other ports will use L2 for servers. My question is this.. would it be OK to config each of the 4 VLAN's and then plug unmanaged switches...

    L3 Switching question

    yep - Ok so I don't need an expensive router with an even more expensive module to sort 4 E0 ports, I just need to go get a nice 12 Port L3 switch and jobs a good-un?

    L3 Switching question

    Ok so I can setup a DSL router which goes into a FW which connects to one port on my L3 switch [one SN] and then route onto 3 SN's on the L3 switch. NO VLAN's just 3 SN's?

    L3 Switching question

    ..but not route between subnets? stompin

    L3 Switching question

    OK - very new to L3 switches. I need to know if a L3 switch provides the same functionality as a router?. I have four SN's inside which need routing between, and I need an extra E0 port connecting to my FW. Can I get a L3 switch and assign SN's to each port. I have heard L3 switches are...

    Setup hardware advice needed - 3 fastEth ports

    Cheer's JOAMON I'll check them models out and see if they are suitable for the job.

    Setup hardware advice needed - 3 fastEth ports

    managed checkpoint FW - looking at the diagram it seems to have changed from my original. The FW needs to connect to the RTR/L3 SW which then connects to unmanaged switches on SN1 and SN2. FW - RTR?/L3SW? - SN1 and SN2 thanks
