    Arista Switchport Bandwidth

    Hi, I'm used to Cisco, and can find switchport bandwidth utilisation for each switchport, however I need to find this information on an Arista. Does anybody know how I can obtain a Mbps figure from an Arista switchport? I've been searching around for ages now, but can't find anything... Thanks

    Advice on buying a firewall

    Hi, I've been asked to spec a firewall for the company I work for, and wanted to get peoples thoughts and advice before I start getting quotes in. It's a small business with about 25 people in the office maximum, ideally the firewall would host a VPN server. The firewall will be handling all...

    Can't Unlock Window 7

    Hi, I'm experiencing an issue whereby I've made a laptop leave a domain, which was successful, but when I rebooted the laptop comes up with a logon screen with only a single user - which I don't have the password for. It won't give me any option to login as a different user. I've tried...

    HP Thin Clients - KVM User Stations

    Hi, We're planning on buying a KVM system (Raritan Dominion) which is an IP based KVM system. We however would like to minimise desk space usage by using HP thin clients (possibly the T520) as the KVM user station. To my knowledge, all the thin client needs to be able to do is install the...

    Networking Monitoring Tool On Client

    From my experience with nagios it doesn't run on Windows, you have to run the server on a linux distribution, like CentOS. If you want to experiment with it you can load a CentOS image into a virtual machine like virtual box and have a play with it, if you are only monitoring a few hosts I'd...

    Multicast Video over IP

    lol Yeah layer 2 over that distance seems kind of crumby... Turns out it was IGMP not enabled in the Juniper switch, the network admin enabled it and the stream came to life. Thanks for your help

    Multicast Video over IP

    We are said to have a layer 2 direct transparent connection, no port blocking, just a straight forward layer 2 network. The chain unfortunately consists of a mixture of switches, these include Cisco and Juniper. Apparently the mac addresses of either end can been seen. Annoyingly we don't...

    Multicast Video over IP

    Ah ok, so it doesn't really matter what IP our host receiver has, just so long as it's looking at the correct multicast address? The stream is unfortunately travelling through several locations quite a distance, it's a 20Mbit video stream encoded in mpeg2. The switch at our end is a juniper...

    Multicast Video over IP

    Hi, I'm on site and having a bit of difficulty with getting a multicast video stream to work. I don't really understand multicasting, do multicast addresses work on top of standard IP address, for example we have a bit of kit with the IP address 192.168.1.10 which needs to talk to a...

    Windows Server 2008R2 upgrade to Server 2012

    In some cases however there are cheaper 'upgrade' licenses, we're trying to avoid having to buy several complete 2012 licenses at full price, especially as we didn't get the 2008R2 servers that long ago. I don't think it's possible, I've looked and can't find anything, just wondered if somebody...

    Windows Server 2008R2 upgrade to Server 2012

    Hi, I need to upgrade a group of servers running 2008R2 to Server 2012, is there an upgrade license available to do this, or do we need to purchase Server 2012 licenses as if they are being installed from scratch? I've googled around and people are suggesting there is no upgrade license...

    fixing my internet speed

    Eliminate the components part by part. Try and get hold of a ethernet patch lead and connect a seperate computer or laptop directly to your ADSL modem. If the slow speeds persist, contact your ISP. Of course check the obvious things aswell like the security on your wireless router, perhaps...

    Building a new PC - Can anyone check this over?

    It's better but more expensive, I didn't want to go over my budget. However, I'm doing HD video editing, putting the computer through a lot, do you think the GameXStream would be worth it? I'll get it if it's worth it, as I'm using the computer for heavy processing.

    Raid 5 on motherboard

    Hi. I'm looking into a new PC and the motherboard I'm looking at says it supports Raid 5. I was just wondering, does this mean the motherboard acts as the Raid controller, or does it just 'support' raid 5, ie. I will need to buy a hardware raid controller? It's the Gigabyte EX58-UD4P...
