I am trying to send SNMP traps from a Nortel 450. Never done this before. I have a Syslog Server running from Solar Winds but this does not seem to receive anything from the switches. I am setting this up because we are going to do some mac address security and I want notifications if there...

Is there a tool out there that can report what mac addresses are associated with what port - and be able to tell you if something has changed. I have 250 baystack 450 switches and keeping track of this is impossible. Our security guys ask for this thanks

Thanks for your thoughts. We already have an IPsec VPN installed, however there seems to be alot of administration with the client software and firewalls needed. We thought about a SSL VPN for our business partners who may need to access to 1 or 2 applications inside our network and we cannot...

We are looking into purchasing a SSL VPN appliance and I am trying to determine if a virus can be transmitted thru a session. Does any one have any ideas? thanks

We have a remote site connected by passport 2430 routers with a T1 connection. Everything works except authenticating to an active directory domain. We can ping by name or address. Any suggestions? thanks, chuck

I am trying to install ICMP filters on an 1150 and I am not having much luck. All I want is 1 filter to block pings, allowing all other traffic thru - I am either blocking everything or nothing - depending on the default action. I have a 8600 and the filters are working as advertised. The 1150...

What are the risks involved with creating a VPN tunnel with a remote user who may be infected with a virus or worm? With all the microsoft problems going on right now, we are wondering how secure we are by allowing VPN tunnels in from pc's which we do not have complete control over. We are...

thanks Comtec17 - if you are ever in Pittsburgh PA I will buy you a beer!

We are using IBM 2109-f16 switches (brocade). We are doing some zoning already. Thansk again for your input.

We are using qlogic cards. And SDD on the servers. Everything I read indicates zoning is not the answer. Thanks for all of your responses.

If I have 20 microsoft servers accessing the ESS thru 1 port, how many different zones do I need? It seems like we would need to create a zone for each Microsoft server and the ESS port if we wanted to eliminate the foreign disk issue. Sorry for my ignorance - I am an ethernet guy and have had...

No we are not using LUN security - Our Storage manager thinks we should be zoning alot more than we currently are. Not sure about your second question. thanks, chuck

We have microsoft servers on an IBM shark using fibre channel and have seen foreign disks show up on the servers. We are not sure where they are coming from or if they are a problem. Any body have any ideas? thanks in advance

problem was solved by directing the server on the shark out one port - we had an Arbitrated Loop on the fiber switch which was causing us problems. We could have created a zone as you guys said, however we were not sure if we needed to bring down all of the servers connected to the switch if we...

Thanks for the responses - I can understand seeing 2 drives with 2 HBA cards - and we are running SDD but it may not be set-up correctly. However, not sure how zoning would help eliminate the second drive showing up with one HBA. To be honest we have 3 different folks involved - 1 guy knows...
