    Need advice on load balancing two T1 lines from the same ISP

    Right now we don't have any contract with cisco and won't in the future either. So I guess I shouldn't be concerned about the EOL date. What about HSRP? Is it similar to BGP? Thanks

    Need advice on load balancing two T1 lines from the same ISP

    Can I just use the private ASN? I am still going through my ISP's AS and the internet won't know anything about my routings. I read somewhere in cisco.com that 2600XM series is also EOL'd. Cisco wants everyone to upgrade to 2800 series. If I want to automatic hardware failover, do I need to...

    Need advice on load balancing two T1 lines from the same ISP

    Thanks for the response. I would like to multilink (or aggregate) the two (1.5Mb/s) T1 lines to get 3mb/s line. It will be a waste bandwdith and money not to use the second line. Since I getting the two T1 lines from the same ISP, do I need to configure BGP on the router? The 2651XM only has...

    We currently have a T1 line with an ISP. In order to load balance and fail over the traffic, we are getting another T1 line from the same ISP. The new T1 will come from different core than the existing line. We also would like to aggregate the links for higher bandwidth. The router we have...

    3COM fiber transceiver v. stand alone D-Link DMC 700SC

    Thanks SYQUEST! Apart from having to deal with running CAT6 cables from the D-link transceiver to core switch, the SFP and D-link technically do the same. They convert frames from copper to fiber or fiber to copper. Am I correct? It's just the 3com's SFP connects directly into the switch. But...

    We have a multimode fiber optic line between two of our buildings. There is a 3com switch on both ends. The ethernet network is 10/100 in both buildings. So we have a D-Link DMC 700SC on both sides to convert packets between ethernet (3com switch) and fiber networks. We are thinking about...

    Straight Answer On Dell PERC 5/i

    SAS and SATA are based on different architectures. SAS stands for Serial Attached SCSI and SATA stands for Serial ATA. The keyword here is 'serial'. SATA is based on IDE technology and SATA is SCSI. PATA = Parallel ATA => older hard drives, CD/DVD drives, etc. SATA = Serial ATA => new hard...

    Best practices for server builds?

    5. Always re-apply the last service pack installed and hotfixes whenever you add or remove a component from windows." This is not needed anymore. Microsoft's MSI package handles these issues automatically.

    Bare Metal Recovery

    I like Ghost for bare metal backups and have been not following up with the current releases since ghost 7.0 and ghost 2003. Someone here mentioned that Ghost now does online backup of the servers while the server is running. I am curious about how ghost is doing this. Is it a file level...

    2007 - Can someone recommend a tape drive?

    Stay away from Tandberg backup drives!!! They break often. Brand new unit started to eat the tapes. You need to give your credit card to get things replaced. They think you won't return the faulty unit once they ship their replacement (read refurbished) unit.

    Database Mirroring

    Thanks Denny! 1) Got it! 2) We have a development department who would like to maintain their database on their own. This would mean the IT department and development department should co-ordinate what goes on the SQL server. It's bit of a politics. 3)If I use the crossover cable on the NIC1...

    We are implementing database mirroring for high availability. I have few questions. 1) The documentation says that only 10 databases are supported in an instance on a 32bit system. Are they referring to 32 bit windows system or 32 bit SQL server? 2)What's the best way to maintain the master...

    Difference between 3com 2824 and 3com 4200G 1Gbit switches

    We are looking to purchase a 10/100/1000 switch. I came across 3Com 4200G (~$1200) and 3Com 2824 (~$350). The $350 switch seems to be a new product from 3Com. It is a managed and baseline switch but support 10/100/1000 speed ports. I would like to know your review on this new baseline 1Gbit...
