			<description><![CDATA[It's a freelancing opportunity which requires you to market a discount card
number online or among your circle of acquaintances.

You'll be given a uinque card number that can be used upon checkout at our
website, http://www.Kicksexpress.com, to get $10 off each qualified item.
When a person buys from us using your unique card number, you'll be paid commission.

You can post your card number on the internet, and let people see your ad
and visit our website to use your card number to buy from us, and then you'll be automatically awarded $10 for each qualified item sold to the
buyer.

Your earning potential depends on the effort and imagination you put in this program. Say if 10 items are sold per day with your card number, you are awarded $100. That's $3000 a month!

You do NOT need to sell face to face to anyone, or answer phone calls or
emails. Our company does all that, including updating product catalog,
processing orders and shipping packages.

If you are interested and want to start now, please go to
http://www.Kicksexpress.com and register a member. After that write and tell us your registration email and we will assign the number to you.

Thank you for your time.

			<description><![CDATA[Sunday and Monday mornings found us up on lifts with our heads stuck in boxes while swaying back and forth fearing for our lives. 
We found out the hard way that these devices were configured as layer 2 switches, and there is no command line interface. It's all web GUI, and the GUI is barely configurable for what we wanted to do. 
We found that we could click on each port and tell it what kind of device is attached to each port. By telling each port that a desktop and phone was connected to each one, wireless access points and phones started to come up. 
We had to configure the fiber ports as routers by clicking a picture of a router and applying it to the port. How silly.
Later on we discovered that there was a routing loop because not only were the fiber ports connected to each other they were also connected by CAT 5 cables. We had to wait until each port reported an error to figure out what was happening.  
I then came up with the idea of hanging a 25' cable down each pole so we didn't have to climb to the top of each 500 switch when we needed to connect to them or reboot them.
The only problem was every time we tried to connect to the management port it strangely brought an entire group of computers off the network for no apparent reason. In order to troubleshoot it though we would have to bring it down over and over until we found the problem. We decided to just not connect to them since everything was working anyway, and that was that.
When I got home after four days of non stop work I had found I lost several pounds because we rarely took time to eat. I was also glad to get a full nights sleep and the bruises I received from being contorted while on a lift were starting to subside.
I got an email after getting home on Monday that the client VPN was down. I remoted into the firewall and found the DNS and the authenticating servers were still pointed to the old IP address. I then fixed that and remoted into the authenticating server. In IAS on Windows servers you can change what authenticating IP address you want to take orders from and there has to be a matching password. After adjusting this the VPN started to work.
There is no real good way of preparing for a job like this unless you are intimately familiar with it. Since no single person knew all of it there were lots of difficulties in completing the project. 
I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking that stupid layer 2 switch that brought the network down did it again. I hope that changes soon!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now that VLANs and phone commands are set up and the trunking commands are ready to tie the switches together, we are ready to make this work.
I first started with the core switches which were Cisco 3750's in a cluster of three. After inputting the commands the workstations started to come on line along with the phones. 
     But there was an entire section of servers we couldn't get to come online. We found out that those servers were hanging off a layer 2 switch. Now that complicates things. You can't trunk the two together because thats a layer 3 command. Layer two switches only memorize the MAC (or hardware) address of a network card. It doesn't route like layer 3 devices.
     In order to fix this we decided to remove the portfast command which can cause a routing loop when connected to a switch. Now the servers started working great. They worked all night and into the next morning until the layer 2 switch crashed after a reboot of the core switches. It took out almost all of my configurations. The first night's work for us lasted until midnight. On day two we were on our way to another long day.
     We showed up around 8 AM on a Saturday and got to work. I had to re input all the commands on the switches and we replaced the layer 2 switch with another 3750 layer 3 switch.
     Now we had to connect the switches in the very large warehouse. The company keeps track of their stock by using wireless scanners. The WAPs are connected to switches in the warehouse on power poles rough 25 feet in the air. A scissor lift raises us up to these switches where we had to reboot all of them. They worked on the reboot but we could only get the workstations to come up. These were Cisco 500 switches and we couldn't tell how they were configured. So we had to get back up on the scissor lift and connect a hyperterminal cable each one to see how they are setup so can fix them properly. One problem though: The scissor lift ran out of battery power and they only had one.
On to tomorrow and the next segment of our story.]]></description>

			<title>Trunks and VLANs and Firewalls, Oh my. (Part 2)</title>

			<description><![CDATA[In the last segment I wrote about VLANs and using them to segment network traffic. Rather than do this the traditional way we were going to use VLANs to segment traffic from particular devices.
     When you first turn on any Cisco router or switch it automatically communicates on VLAN 1. If you want to add VLANs you have to choose a different subnet. For instance VLAN 1 can be 192.168.0.0/24 and the VLAN 2 could be 192.168.1.0/24. The /24 means the last octet is used for host addresses on the computer devices. In this case you would get 254 computers on each of those two networks. We would then assign port 1 to VLAN 1 and Port 2 to VLAN 2. You could also have many of these ports using one VLAN or the other.
     Now if you want to connect one switch our router to another you need to create a Trunk. A Trunk is like a virtual tether between two devices. In the statement you also need to allow traffic for all the VLANs you create on the ports connected between devices. 
     In our case most of the switches were connected to each other by using the fiber port, so the trunking command would go on both switches fiber ports. If a workstation was plugged into Port 10 then we would do a switchport mode access and switchport access VLAN 3 command on Port 10. The trunking commands would be switchport mode trunk and a DOT 1q command to allow the passing of the traffic between switches. 
     Our first problem came with the fact that phones and workstations needed to be on the same port. IF the phones were Cisco phones then there is a command for both data and voice to pass on one port, but because we had Shoretel phones this wasn't an option because Shoretel doesn't use the same protocol. So we had to put both a trunking protocol and a VLAN command to make it work. This was a completely undocumented command combination but fortuantely we had a Shoretel person to help us since Cisco wasn't going to be of much help.
     Now that the first phase is done go one to the next part to read on.]]></description>
