    Best VoIP training? Where?

    Hey everyone. My employer has asked me to seek some training on VoIP, SIP, and MGCP, as I prepare to take on new roles and responsibilities. I'm not up to speed on VoIP, SIP, or MGCP, and figure I better get a good understanding before getting product specific. The products I'll be working...

    Any training DVDs or CDs for Security or Networking?

    Hi there! I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any training DVDs, CDs, that cover intermediate to advanced topics of Network Security, or even networking in general? I find that I learn better when watching an instructional video and apply that to my real world experience rather than reading a...

    I got it! (AS400 and Stratus)

    I nailed it. Thanks to everyone for their help. Without the collective input I would not have resolved the issue. Thanks to the Sniffer ART, it helped escalate the issue to the AS400 and Stratus administrators and we found the applications that were causing high CPU and DISK usage and...

    Rejected Packets

    I'm still doing a capture between my AS400 and Stratus and in the Capture Panel (Detail View) I'm seeing (roughly): #seen 15,000 #dropped 0 #accepted 85,000 #rejected 64,000 I have the AS400 and Stratus both plugged into my Foundry switch. I am mirroring the Stratus port and have a filter...

    1 Router, 2 Frame Relay Circuits - Redundancy?

    I am replacing some old Bay ARN routers with Cisco and will be adding an additional WAN circuit to provide redundancy. Here is the scenario: I want to provide redundancy from one WAN site to another. Location 1 will have a 2620 router with two WIC1-DSU cards and Location 2 will have a 2620...

    Totally different Window Sizes

    I'm still having a problem with transferring data between as AS400 and a Stratus VOS, both on 100TX full duplex connected via a Foundry Network Big Iron 4000. I have now captured packets using Microsoft Netmon to compare to my Sniffer capture. One thing I noticed is that the AS400 always has a...

    Local Routing

    I think Sniffer is giving me a false expert flag, but what do you guys think? I have a desktop host with the IP address 10.11.100.50/23 and a server on 10.11.2.5/23. Two different IP networks, of course, but both devices are plugged into a Foundry Big Iron and 10.11.100.50 is VLAN 100, and...

    Too many TCP RETRANSMITS!

    I am monitoring traffic to/from our AS400 server and there is a huge amount of TCP retransmits. The AS400 is plugged into a Foundry switch and I've hard-fixed the port for 100-full and the NIC is 100-full. I've even tried them at 100-half, but the same results occur. The majority of traffic to...

    Where to get Xyratex Gigabit

    I want to price-compare the cost of buying a Xyratex Gigabit interface from a Xyratex reseller versus direct from NAI. However, unlike Adaptec interfaces, I cannot find Xyratex anywhere. Only Xyratex storage solutions. Any ideas? Sr. Network Engineer ArcLight Systems, LLC...

    Mirroring Switch Port 1000SX -> 100TX

    Since I use Sniffer on my laptop I would like to think there is a PCMCIA card that support Gigabit, but I do not think one exists. Currently, when I monitor gigabit ports, I use a Fluke Optiview equipped with 1000SX and use port monitoring/mirroring. I then bring the capture file from the...

    Network Analysis & Troublshooting Book (Question)

    I'm reading Network Analysis & Toublshooting by J. Scott Haughdahl. Great book so far! It talks about switched environments and how switches will discard CRC errors, so you network analysis tool may not detect the error packets. It then goes on to talk about special drivers for certain...

    Ethereal

    I understand that Sniffer is designed to capture errors when using a supported NIC. When using an application such as Ethereal while using an ethernet TAP and/or port mirroring, won't I get the same results as long as the NIC support promisuous mode? Regards, Mark Sr. Network Engineer...

    The right Xircom card?

    I work in a Foundry/Cisco LAN/WAN environment and want to start sniffing data to look at our OLAP environment. One of the Sniffer reps gave me a 30-day demo CD, but to really maximize use of the software I feel I should use the right network card...? I know Sniffer will work (though not...
