RichP Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 .........as long as someone can work out a config for your needs Thats the only bit that makes me slightly nervous! Why is there such a wild variation in prices? EBay Link Quote
Guest Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 its not in anyway simple for a novice to setup , and they have no instructions on how to do it ,as they are designed to be installed by someone who is a ccne Quote
Blatman Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 CCNE? You mean CCNA? Or CCNP Or CCIE ACW is far more qualified than me, but like I say, I could give it a go... Quote
Blatman Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Compliant Standards IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.11i, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED So, no RSTP then... [/geek] Quote
ACW Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 if you get a Cisco router, I'll email you instructions on a config that will get you going and allow me to get in and the remote config the rest of it for you. Trouble is even a small Cisco router support a massive amout of configuration options (like 100x a typical netgear) so doesnt lend itself to simple switch on based gui. Think comparing BMW iDrive or Audi MMI with a regular radio /casette in terms of functions. Quote
ACW Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Your right there is no 802.1w - but you can do MSTP and also really its an end device rather than a switch. 1800 with ESW modules can do RSTP, MSTP PVST and PVST+ /uber geek ccie Quote
Guest Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 yes i did mean "A" blatters i was having brain fade ..... but then i have been a sales bloke in a different industry for 7 years now , rather than a an engineer ..... don't miss it a bit (apart form having to remember how to do things at home ) Quote
Blatman Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Your right there is no 802.1w - but you can do MSTP and also really its an end device rather than a switch Yeah I know. I was just going for laughs... Sorry Rich, ACW and I are doing Cisco/Networking wheelies... but he's waaaaay better at them than me. But I'll get there... Now then, where's that BGP/MPLS chapter Quote

VTP/DTP/VLAN's/STP/PVST/MSTP/RSTP, and not forgetting DOT1Q and (whisper) ISL... *dribble* Sorry... Quote
steve_m Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 b****y hell, Blatman and ACW back in the same week... were you both in prison for the same crime I was thinking they are the same person . . . Quote
Lurksalot Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I Have to say that I had a problem with a 1800 with ESW modules can do RSTP, MSTP PVST and PVST+ The thing was there is no 802.1w - but you can do MSTP with a dongle built in . When I upgrade 857 to 877 and the Processor board ID JAB0313067N (4286363333) M860 processor: part number 0, mask 49 Bridging software it all went pearshaped . So after 8192K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write) re syncopated and added all these into "Port Forwarding" and allocated them to the phone IP address. Well you wouldn’t believe it, but VOIP phone uses an ordinary RJ45 and CAT5 cable for connectivity, so the WNR2000 actualy supported Vonage using a USB phone/handset. Before you know it, all the LAN ports on the router actually enabled RIPv1, no need to port forward I wouldn't have thought , but s**t happens . Anyway , I changed the fuse and it works now Quote

Lurksalot Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Shucks, I'll have to put some filters on my cut and paste technique I guess Quote

Anyway , I changed the fuse and it works now I don't understand a word of this but the bit: "............so the WNR2000 actualy supported Vonage using a USB phone/handset." You mean a USB phone plugged into your PC / laptop? Managed to blag a Linksys router for free last night so will try that over the weekend. Fingers crossed. Quote
