We're starting to share video across our network and would like to setup multicast to conserve at least some of the bandwidth.  We have a broad mix of equipment (A Catalyst 6509-E at the core, a combination for Cisco 2691 & 2811 routers, and a whole lot of Catalyst 3500, 3550, 3560 switches at a hundred locations.  Where would I begin?  Would I need to define routing for the multicast IP addresses (224.0.0.0)?  Would I need to setup interfaces & IP networks where each multicast device is located like I would for a new IP subnet? Forgive the newbieness of the question. ... View more

We have 2 aironet 1310 aps setup as infrastructure access points between 2 buildings.  One went south on us & we placed it.  Before the bad one went down, we were able to manage both remotely & could see them from the next device via CDP.  Now, we can't connect or even ping either AP.  And the weird part is that the switches that connected to each can see each other via CDP, but not the access points between them.  I'm attaching the configuration.  Before I make the 2.5 hour drive back to the site, does anyone have an idea on what I may have misconfigured on either or both access points? ...

Good morning, We're looking at implementing inline interface pair mode on our IDSM-2.  Does that automatically pass ALL vlan traffic through the IDSM-2 or would we still need to define which VLANs will go through it? Ron ... View more

Newbie question. We're using a PIX 525 for our main firewall to the internet as well as for remote and site to site VPN to our remote offices and mobile users. Periodically, we see the memory utilization creep up to 50% over the course of a couple of weeks and the traffic takes longer and longer to go through the PIX until it's restarted. Is there a memory leak in 7.22? Any ideas on figuring out what the problem may be? Or would it be better to upgrade the memory? Currently we're running 256 MB. Thanks. ... View more

I'm trying to setup up netflow to export to a collection server, but I don't see any traffic coming from the router in question to the collection server, nor do I see the flow information on the router itself when i use show ip flow cache. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? I'm using the defaults for this initial configuration. ... View more

We've got users who are only able to get broadband connectivity through satellite providers. I know that we tried in the past to connect with satellite service with the CISCO VPN client (4.6) to our PIX 525 without success. Is there another way to connect with VPN if you have to use satellite to get to the Internet? ... View more
