Hi I have an Aironet 1142 access point. Is it possible to direct it to a webfilter hardware firewall for internet access. For example the IP of the firewall with webfiltering capabilties would be 192.168.0.1 We are hoping to provide customer wifi web access but need to filter what they can access. Thanks! ... View more

Hi I need to know if it is possible to trunk a serial link through two switches. I two serial links in a building both coming in at different locations. Our comms room has one serial link with a link balancer. The serial connection is plugged directly into one of the external interfaces of the link balancer. We would like our second serial connection to also be plugged into the link balancer - into the second external interface. The problem is this connection is at the other end of the building. My boss thinks we can trunk the connection up to the comms room then plug it direct into the external interface of the link balancer although I am not 100% sure of this. I will attach a diagram that will hopefully make it clearer. I just need to know is it possible to do this or will the phyical serial connection actually need to be moved to the comms room? Thanks ... View more

Hey I was just wondering how I configure netflow on a cisco 877 router. I have an interface e0/4 that is 172.1.1.1 on router one (network one) which links to another router (onnetwork two) which has an interface of e0/4 172.1.1.2 which allows two networks to communicate. Network one is 192.168.0.0 /24 and network two is 10.255.255.0 /24. How do i configure netflow to monitor the traffic going through these interfaces? Thanks! ... View more

Hi I have two custom vlan's 183 and 176. Everytime I set a mgt ip on Vlan1 and say no shutdown the switch automatically shuts down vlan 183. Is this suppose to happen? Its an old Cisco 2950 Switch. Thanks ... View more

Hi I have a query about a new MPLS connection we have installed between our main campus and a remote site. On Site A we have a 877 Router which is connected directly to Site B and anoth 877 Router using an MPLS tunnel. On both routers I can ping the other router so the actual physical link is up and connecting both ends. I now need to know how I can route traffic destinted for a certain network to use this link. For example.... Site A local network (behind firewall) 10.255.0.0 Site B local network (behind ASA firewall using a different connection which will be redundant after this) 192.168.15.0 I suppose my main query is how do I config the routers to be patched onto the local networks, I will post the configs of each which currently mainly contain the ISP's settings. Can I simply patch the routers into switches and by pass the firewalls as the tunnel is secure and have no access to the internet via it. Thanks a mil ... View more

Hey I have one ISP connection connected directly into a single 877 router (Router A). I need to install a second router (Router B) to provide redundancy in case Router A fails. Router A has an internal ip of 192.168.0.3 which is the PC's default gateway. Is it possible to set them up so that if A  fails B automatically kicks in, uses the ISP's connection and an IP of 192.168.0.3 so users dont experience any downtime? I know Hot Standby Router Protocol is an option. Thanks ... View more
