    Net::Appliance::Session issue, or something else?

    Ok, I figured it out. I had to place the "App" option within the connect construct, and then it worked as intended: $ssh->connect(Name => $user, Password => $pass, SHKC => 0, App => '/usr/local/bin/ssh');

    Net::Appliance::Session issue, or something else?

    Hello, I am having trouble on some of my SSH scripts that are using the Net::Appliance::Session module on a Unix (Solaris 9) box. Basically, I keep getting the error: "Login failed to remote host at line..." "Pattern match time-out" Can you see any reason as to why I am getting that? If I...

    Pix fileover

    Well, I would first boot backup up your primary firewall off-line, and make sure that the config is still how you had it before it was out of commission (mainly ip addresses). Then, connect your failover cable(s), and power on the primary firewall. You might have to then reboot the secondary...

    IPSec w/GRE as a backup link

    Hello all, I am working on setting up 4 of our companies' remote offices with Point-to-Point T1's, and then using the local Internet link at each site as a VPN backup. My question is, I only want that tunnel to be used when the primary T1 goes down. I planned to have floating static routes...

    Gigabit Ethernet (copper) backbone vs. Fiber

    Great! Thank you for all of your replies. I think that i'll stick with the fiber solution :)

    Gigabit Ethernet (copper) backbone vs. Fiber

    Hi, The company that I work for is in the process of building a large, new facility. I am doing some design work for the network, and was thinking, why not use Gigabit Ethernet (over copper), and save some $$, versus using Fiber for the backbone. (between switches) Does anyone have some...

    ISP mail forwarding to Exchange 2003 server

    I have a ?. We currently have an Exchange 2003 server that was just setup, but we also have POP3 accounts with Singlefin. We wanted to forward the Singlefin POP3 mail to the Exchange users' mailbox. My ? is, is there some other software that I have to have in order for the Exchange server to...

    Newbie question about cisco 2600

    Well, in my experience, you would connect the satellite to the 2620. Just like if you were to have a T1 coming directly into a smart-jack, then you would connect the smart-jack to the 2620 via a T1 cable (pairs 1,2 & 4,5). If your T1 terminates into the satellite modem, or whatever device that...

    Cisco switches vs. Nortel

    I have a ? for anyone. Would you say that Cisco is the way to go when it comes to Routing and Switching, say, vs. Nortel for the Routing and Switching?

    PIX and VPN Concentrator on same network

    routerman's idea on where to place it is probably the route that you want to take...more secure that way.

    PIX and VPN Concentrator on same network

    I would say that what you are doing now can work just fine. But in my experience...a VPN concentrator has better "user-management" functionality, like allowing users to authenticate against an AD domain or RADIUS. As far as where to deploy the concentrator, there are alot of different...

    GRE IPSec router in front of a PIX

    So then do I just create ip route statements on the 2651 to forward the remote subnet's to the PIX. For example: Remote office 1 subnet: 192.168.6.0/24 2651: ip route 192.168.6.0 255.255.255.0 66.100.23.2 <- (the outside address of the PIX) Then in the pix permit 192.168.6.0 to access...

    GRE IPSec router in front of a PIX

    I have a question. If I have a few (4) small remote offices, and want to use GRE tunnels over IPSec VPN's, back to the main office 2651 router...how does that work as far as having my PIX behind the 2651. The 2651 will have the Internet T1 coming into it, and the PIX's outside address will have...

    Another VPN question

    I posted a topic yesterday about terminating IPSec VPN tunnels on a PIX rather than on a router. Does anyone have any experience with terminating the tunnels on a VPN concentrator instead of a PIX. If so, what would be a better solution possibly? Thanks
