I'm experiencing a similar behavior, what I'm wondering is if the person is receiving a vmail and a second call rings to vmail what happens? Does both vmail go to the vmail box or does or could one go to the general delivery? I'm currently checking into the feature setting option. thanks

Yes switches are configured properly, they are configured identically as the other site which works fine. I'm new to this part of the phone system. So all I know is when I connect the phone and it powers up, when the tone sounds. I slide my fingers across the 4 buttons, enter a long password and...

Ok, then the previous admin changed the console settings to something else, as I have no ability to see the boot sequence from console. The same device, cable and settings work with other switches in our environment. thanks

Hi I need to know what I need to do to get the "configure vlan (vlan#) ip directed-broadcast enable" command available in my CLI. I need this for a wake on lan project, is it a license, firmware mgmt blade specific? thanks

Hi I have some Sun Solaris 8 or 9 boxes. Which are being retired and I need to sanitize the data. With other systems we're doing an over write of zeros to clear the data. Then format the disk and reinstall the OS. How would I do this on a sun solaris 8 and 9 servers? thanks John

thanks for your input, like I mentioned above, we will be setting this up at the branch and head office sides. We won't be on the TLS since that will cost $$$. This isn't a IT decision,but a business decision. I understand that this is not best practice and QOS should be configured across the...
