We have a small office and have recently installed a small NVR and 3 IP camera's to keep an eye on things. I'm a little concerned this system has access to our internal LAN and I can also access it remotely from an iPhone app right through our ASA to the device and remote view the NVR and camera activity. When I run a “show conn” I can see the remotely connected endpoints and remain concerned what country and servers have access to my internal LAN.   I don't seem to be getting a straight answer from the non US manufacturer on how this is connecting from the outside, I can monitor the external ports and do not see any open but something has to be there for the device to connect? Token or ?? Maybe   I know I can install this device on a different vLan at the office but then we could not connect locally to view the camera's or NVR, so that does not seem to be a good solution either.   Any thoughts or suggestions here?   Thanks in advance ...

We have added an IP security camera at our office that can be viewed from the outside on a mobile device.  I'm not comfortable leaving this up for too long without some type of separation from our office network LAN. What would be the best way to only give this device access to only the internet? Would you use the router or a switch to do it?  A brief overview suggestion would be be very helpful.   We have ASA routers and Cisco switches on our internal network. Thanks in Advance ...

We have a SG200-26 without POE. I have 1 device that needs POE so I purchased a inline POE adapter and installed between the switch and the device.  I think something in this switch does not like an inline POE adapter between the switch and the device that needs POE.  Any suggestions?  I get power to the device but no network traffic at all on the switch.   Thanks in Advance  ...

We have a ASA 5505 serving a web server at our office. This server has 2 nic cards 1 internal and 1 external (web) traffic. The external nic is parked in the ASA DMZ zone to handle web traffic, it's gateway points to a virtual gateway on the ASA so an application in the web server can talk to our internal network via a more secured network from the external NIC on the web server.  The internal NIC on the Web Server does not have a gateway on the NIC.  So my question is what DNS entries need to be made on our internal DNS servers? Should there be a A record for both nics? Thanks in Advance  ... View more

We have remote users that connect to our Win2003 with a Cisco VPN client windows login is turned on in the Cisco VPN options. My remote clients will log onto the laptops in the field then connect the cisco VPN to authenticate to our co network. Problem is when they disconnect they just disconnect the VPN client and continue to use the laptop for other local use. Problem here is there is no network logoff to ipconfig /release the DNS host A record that was dynamically entered when the remote client logged into the pix/Win2003. So what happens after (cisco client vpn disconnect) is I am left with a Host A record on the DNS server since there was no proper logoff. Any ideas on what to do here so I can properly remove the host A record from the DNS before the VPN disconnect event happens? Is there another way to handle this suitation ? Thanks in Advance ...
