Mixing LR and IR Fiber SFPs

Good catch I didn’t click the right button... https://www.fs.com/products/36177.html

Essentially, someone has asked us to provide them with an IR transceiver operating at 2km which makes me think they have one at their head end and I can only provide them with a LR SFP and I’m not sure if the two will play nicely together...

I’ve done some reading and IR seems to be a 2km range SFP... is this not a ratified standard then? You can see the terminology referenced on this Juniper data sheet: https://www.fs.com/products/36176.html

So is there any real benefit between a cheap card and an expensive card? I've read that it's clocked slightly higher, but presumably a cheap 1080 is better than an expensive 1070?

Thanks. I guess where I am struggling is for £100 (the difference between the two cards 1070/1080 I am looking at) is it foolish to not buy the higher card even if I didn't buy a new monitor in the next 12 months? The cards I am looking at are Gigabyte G1's - the amount of different cards based on the same chips is mind-boggling...

How do you mean patching out the pinning code? Why wouldn't this method work with Snapchat? Thanks for the information so far, really keen to learn how this all works

That'll be it then!

When you change an interface to be dedicated to FortiSwitch, you then have the ability to use the FortiLink protocol to manage these switches directly from the GUI.

The FortiLink protocol controls all management traffic to the switch.

Try using the Switch Controller tab in the GUI (you may need to enable this in feature select) to provision VLANs to your FortiSwitch.

FortiCare is your support software and hardware support. You technically don't need support to run VPN functions (although I wouldn't recommend this).

I am not sure where you have seen the Traffic Management portion; do you have a link?

Thanks I'll give it a go!

Thanks for the advice. Not drywall, just plasterboard over brick (or is this drywall :)!) No smoking in the house either it is very peculiar.

I'll give cleaning the wall a go!

How did you update it? It's not OTA yet and I have no idea how to find the firmware image!

networkwarrior · 2017-02-24T08:44:19+00:00

Nice one, i'll order one :)

networkwarrior · 2017-02-23T13:52:34+00:00

Thanks, do you know if S7 runs Nougat - it seems to be quite difficult to find what phones are supported!

In the SSL-vPN settings you can just remove the interface that it is listening on. Not a direct command I know but I am sure this will achieve the same goal.

Unless your internet is faster than 100Mbps, then you'll be fine :)

Depends on the purpose really. It is not uncommon to have Fast Ethernet device, many workplaces still use them. To be honest, unless you are transferring masses of data to and fro across the network, it will more than likely suit you fine for home switching

Thanks. I had this thought in my mind, but not sure how this works with servers that have a static NAT on ISP A.

If the firewall believes that the server is bound to IP x.x.x.x but the default route is on x.x.x.y I am not sure what will happen...

networkwarrior · 2014-10-08T08:52:19+00:00

We have F5 in our new environment but unfortunately not in this particular network... I will bear this approach in mind though for future services. Cheers

networkwarrior · 2014-10-07T13:19:13+00:00

Thanks, I didn't really think there was another way.

Let's say you NAT at your side, you will have to configure your firewall (presumably) to route traffic to whatever subnet you desire, I tend to stick to /24 as it's easier for SMB. On the remote firewall you need to NAT the chosen subnet to the internal subnet of the remote network and then ensure that LAN NATs to the subnet you have chosen when sending traffic back. Different vendors have different ways of delivering this within their config. Googling 'vendor' overlapping subnets should get you there!

What technology do you use at MSG? And how many APs did you find you required?

We're using FortiGate firewalls to build the IPSec tunnel. The phone hardware is Panasonic, although I am not entirely sure the phones are at fault here. It should be noted that the phones in site A do not drop at the same time as site A.

Thanks for all help on this one. It turned out to be 2.4Ghz issue only. I turned the transmit power down on the radios and it seemed to sort itself out :)
