Hi The ip which you are trying to ping is part of the same vlan which you configured on those ethernet interface? can you post the config of the router here? regds ... View more

Hi You can avail the similar kinda MPLS services from another service provider to have diversity also you can think of going on for a IPSEC point to point vpn tunnels between your locations.I am suggesting the same since you are concerned about getting onto VRF aware IPSEC again onto the same MPLS service provider cloud. regds ...

Hi Even 3750 model switches comes up with the same config of both 48*1G ports + 4 SFPs, if you shed more light on what is your exact requirement with a small background about your setup will help to get more suggestions from other experts as well. regds ... View more

Hi Defining bandwidth for an application which doesnt have proper sizing in place is pretty tough,if i am were you i would have an acceptance with the team on their exeperience (slow/fast/normal) while accessing the application, based on that you can size an approximate value(kbps) per session and then move onto upgrading the bandwidth based on no of users who all are going to access the application. For an example as you have mentioned the 128K speed access with 200ms latency better to check out the user experience, yes its always good to have more bandwidth but in some places the prices are not so cheap to afford the kinda bandwidth required. if you dont have any financial constraints i would suggest you to provide your team or management the pros/cons of having high bandwidth which will result in high productivity and good user experience. Coming back to your MPLS infra query create a spreadsheet with the basic info like no of users,the applications which will be used and the b/w required for each applications. Based on this calculations you can get a ball park figure which you can make use of. Also for your mail client and your web browser it doesnt use up much of bandwidth and its pretty defined untill unless they dont download any attachemnts or anything which will increase the bandwidth rquirement. Also there are various other solution with respect to mailing to have a local server to download everything and then your local clients can access the same locally instead of all the clients getting hooked up to the central mail server using up the whole bandwidth. regs ...

Hi Bill you need to do a larger study to implment QoS because you shouldnt face any issues with applications once you introduce qos. you need to understand the traffic patterns and need to classify them accordingly, once you have the classification in place you need set or allocate proper priority as you do for voice and proper bandwidth for the apps. Also this is just the L3 qos which i am mentioning you need to make sure that you have proper knowledge about the LAN switches which is already there in place at your site so that you do the qos config in them as well. If you something like 6500 then you need to make sure that your linecard capability in supporting no of queues and how you can define the same using best practices. if you have other switches like 2960 or 3750 again you do have best practices with respect to configuring the queues on user end prots and also on the uplinks. when you are done with this you need to make sure that the managed services or QoS classess being offered by your service provider is well off with your own requirement. if you have not done anything till now its high time you start the study on the applications being used in your network and also make sure you establish the right channel with your service provide to check the kinda QoS offering they are providing to you. May be once you are done with that you can check out for lan QoS stuffs and getting onto your actual configs on both your routers/switches. regds ... View more

Hi Abdul Whats the bandwidth of each ADSL link? Is it not easy to get a single big fat pipe or 2 pipes for redundandcy purpose instead of having 6 of them? That would definetely make life easy with management and when thinking off other capabilities like load sharing etc., regds ... View more

Hi The best ready made option i could see for your requirment is to bundle the physical links and form a logical multilink to take care of load sharing. Once you are done to address QoS you may want to enable auto qos which would take care of your qos requirement. But do make sure your bandwidth command under the physical interfaces are defined properly and also you have a clean multilink bunlde available without any errors. After you enable the auto qos do make sure you have sufficient bandwidth allocated for all the relevant classes and make sure that you are neither over subscribed nor less provisioned for any of the traffic class. regds ...

Hi Michael I feel you are better off with allocating the remaning bandwidth the class-default, also make sure that you define the exact available bandwidth on the wan interface using bandwidth command. If you dont use this command to define and leave it as it then you will end up reserving 70% of available bandwidth as mentioned on the interface by default which is 100Mbps in your case. Change the bandwidth statement under the interface first and also make sure that you allocate only 75% of the available bandwidth to the QoS clasess since the rest is required for other keepalives/routing updates etc., I think you are bettter off with this allocation or else you need to make sure that you reserve 100% bandwidth on the interface and also you need to make sure that you define a class for routing and reserve 3 to 5 % of the total bandwidth for that class. regds ...
