I'm looking to upgrade all of my edge switches. This is for a in-state retail company, so super simple configs. All sites connected via carrier mpls. I've looked at Cisco and Juniper. I have an Adtran router that I control that hasn't failed me yet(2 years). My VAR is recommending Adtran 1638P and 1550P switches and the price is good. I'm looking for hardware reliability as the config is static routes and simple vlan switching.

[HELP] Just bought a new router. It only accepts ethernet cable (RJ45 I guess). ISP left a fiber optic cable for the old router. What should I do?

Please help, I'm tired of the trash router my ISP provided
Dealing with rogue DHCP server. Need recommendation for Wireless AP isolation and 48 port managed switch?
Hi guys,
The title says it all.
Tl;dr?
Need recommendation for 48 port managed switch that supports port isolation and/or dhcp snooping
Need recommendation for a wireless AC access point that supports device/AP isolation that doesn’t cause a double NAT (ie needs to prevent different guests devices on the wifi network from seeing/communicating with each other)
Thanks for your time.
I need a recommendation for a 48 port managed switch. My usage case is pretty simple. I’m wiring up a small hotel with 45 rooms, and I need to isolate each room / port from each other. The hotel is owned by a family friend and we’re trying to do this for a reasonable cost.
Additionally, I need a recommendation for a good wireless access point. I’ve been dealing with several rogue dhcp servers on the public wifi, and when I went to enable “AP Isolation” on the Netgear R700 access points, the option was greyed out as apparently client isolation is only supported when the device is in router mode. I would like to avoid the double NAT issue caused by putting the wireless AP into router mode. What would you guys recommend for isolating wireless clients and preventing inter device communication that won’t cause a double NAT?
The main router is an OpenBSD 6.3 firewall/DHCP/DNS server. All I really need is a way to isolate the different guests untrusted devices from each other, so that we can avoid the dhcp nightmare we’ve been dealing with. Several times a week we get complaints that “the wifi is down”, even though it isn’t. Turns out their device is trying to pull a 192.168.1/24 address even though we use a 172.27.27/24 subnet. The hotel has multiple long term tenants and I’m sure one of them has some sort of rogue DHCP server running.
Any recommendations or insight would be much appreciated
Rant Wednesday!
It's Wednesday! Time to get that crap that's been bugging you off your chest! In the interests of spicing things up a bit around here, we're going to try out a Rant Wednesday thread for you all to vent your frustrations. Feel free to vent about vendors, co-workers, price of scotch or anything else network related.
There is no guiding question to help stir up some rage-feels, feel free to fire at will, ranting about anything and everything that's been pissing you off or getting on your nerves!
Aerohive AP250 - only getting ~150Mbps max?
New to aerohive. Using the cloud-based hivemanager I pushed a policy and got the AP up and running. For some reason, I'm getting pretty poor performance out of it. My latency is around 50-60ms and the max I can pull or push out of this thing from a laptop or a Smasung Galaxy S9 is only 150Mbps.
I have 1000/1000 fiber and can easily pull at least 800Mbps-900Mbps from a copper-connected desktop with latency sub 20ms.
This AP is configured for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios (I have some legacy equipment that is b/g/n only -- is this my problem?). I tried turning WIPS on and off - it made no difference. Channel selection for 5Ghz is clean. I'm clearly missing something.
IOS XE - BGP Based Queues
Hello Redditors,
Here's the scenario, I've tried to a find a function for this but I haven't so far:
We have several upstreams, but the issue where I work is the fact that the bandwidth is sold as metered by region, say you get 1 Gbps line and then it's metered like this:
- 100 Mbps towards region A
- 200 Mbps towards Region B
- 1 Gbps if towards Region C
Those regions are easy to filter using BGP AS_PATH regex, I can tag the prefixes by filtering them using such regex, so let's say Region A has community 65500:1000 applied, region B has 65500:1001 applied, region C has 65500:1002 applied.
We use MikroTiks and are planning to move away from them due to the amount of bandwidth we're now seeing and the fact that those devices just can't hold the load, those devices allowed us to tweak a lot of things and even build QoS mappings using data from BGP (by means of filtering and scripting). Management want to go to Cisco and want to know if this is doable, we're looking at the ASR1000 series (IOS-XE).
In short this is what we need:
- Tag BGP routes in with communities based on AS_PATH (easy to do with route-maps)
- Based on those communities apply Queing policies, say police 50 Mbps when traffic is directed towards region B or police to 30 Mbps when traffic is sourced from IP X.X.X.X and goes to region C
Is there any way to achieve this with this platform? thank you in advance.
Unifi AP Pros having strange power issues
So not sure if anyone else has experienced this or knows the cause/solution, But so far I have encountered 2 of these AP pros acting extremely strange with POE. The two that I have doing this simply wont power on when plugged into a POE+ Switch. I have tried Unifi, HP, and TP link POE+ switches with no luck on any, but they turn on just fine and act normally when plugged into a POE+ brick.
Has anyone else encountered this before and does anyone know a solution or have an idea for a solution?
Thanks
Hardware list for cafe network.
Hello,
I'm looking to update my network to something better for my coffee shop. I offer free wifi to my customers, peak customers would be 30. I want two separate networks, one for point of sale, and one for guests. I'd like to have a captive portal, to at least get them on either my FB page, or website page, even if it's just a second. The shop is 1500 sq ft. with outside seating. I was thinking of going with Unifi, with the following hardware:
Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 8 60W
Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-Pro-E
Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway
Ubiquiti Unifi Cloud Key
Is that everything I need, is it over kill? Should I be looking at anything else? Thanks for your help.
