You should look at an MPLS service. This would give you a full mesh topology and you only need to pull one T1 into each office (including the datacenter). I currently manage a 300+ node MPLS WAN and it's great. VPN is good too, but I wouldn't use DSL or cable. I would use an internet T1...

Not sure, but check out the IP SLA feature in the IOS. I use it for all kinds of monitoring. Hope this is helpful.

The 800 series will work great. I would look at the 831.

Private VLANs give you this functionality but I'm not sure if they are supported in the 2900XL.

I would probably look at a 2800 series router (handles multiple T1's). The 3800 series would probably be an over kill (can handle multiple T3's). Make sure to get an ISR router (either 2800 or 3800 series) because you can get all kinds of extra features like IPS, firewall, VOIP, etc (depending...

Anybody know how to load custom backgrounds from CME to the 7970 phones. The only examples that I could find on the web were for Call Manager.

I am having a problem tftping a new 12.4 IOS to my 2851 routers (the IOS is 32.1MB in size). The download goes ok for a while but then bombs out and on the router i just get a bunch of OOOOOOOOOOOO. My flash is plenty large enough, the min was 64 Meg and it's an 128 Meg flash card. I...

Does anyone know how to copy multiple files from flash to a tftp server at once. I have 80+ file in flash and I don't want to copy them one by one.

Depending on which IOS you purchased (Advanced Security or higher) you can use the IPS feature to drop packets for which there are signitures. The following is a link on how to configure the IOS IPS. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124tcg/tsec_c/tsec_ips.htm

The following link will show you how to reset the password. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_4500.shtml To backup the config just do a "copy run tftp" (you have to have a running tftp server). After you type that you will have to give it the IP address of the tftp server and the...

You can get it with the "show version" command.

All the models that you listed are good for a small office firewall/vpn server. I used the 800 series routers in some of my small branch offices as a firewall and site-to-site vpn router (the features are of course based on the software image you purchase with the router). The PIX 501 is just...

As Rookthis said they are basically the same. Are you running Catos or IOS on the 4500s? I have a bunch of 4500s that are running IOS. The first thing that I would do is download the latest version of IOS (I like IOS better then CatOS, probably because I have more of a router background).

I use private addressing with Dynamic NAT for all of my Internet accessible servers. It has worked out great for me. I believe it adds an extra layer of security and flexibility, although it adds a bit more complexity to your network.

Yes, it does show down, down (not connected). I will make a cable to test this. I'll let you know the results.
