We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    SSD in the Enterprise

    Lately I've been struggling with the idea of using consumer SSDs in Enterprise servers. I've already running a Samsung 840 Pro in an old HP DL380 G5 that I use as a VMware testbed, but after years in the datacenter world I can't bring myself to trust it for anything even close to production...

    Open Letter to CIPAFilter

    Having been the Tech Director of a ~5000 student school I can say I've been in similar shoes to the OP, although I never bit on the CIPAfilter. We evaluated many solutions and eventually settled on Untangle, primarily due to cost. Comparing Untangle's support to, say, 8e6 (now Trustwave)...

    VPN firewall recommendation

    Thanks for the recomendation. I've got a Zyxel USG-50 inbound from NewEgg. Here's hoping it does everything I need and more!

    VPN firewall recommendation

    For what it's worth, I can do all this with the RVS4000 but those devices are exceptionally flaky so I need a replacement.

    VPN firewall recommendation

    VLAN 1 functions as a remote-office extension through the VPN VLAN 200 will be touched by the public and cannot be trusted to access the VPN. VLAN200 will also have a whitelist ACL that only allows access to a few websites. VLAN 500 is open WiFi access, unrestricted by ACL. VLANs 200 and...

    VPN firewall recommendation

    First let me say that I've been using the Cisco RVS4000 (v2) across 60-ish locations. I've seen 3 that were lemons right OTB, and another 7 that exhibit configuration instability no matter the firmware they run. I'm looking for a recommendation for an alternative small VPN firewall with the...

    virus?

    If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck normally I'd call it a duck. In this case, it's a swimming, bowlegged, quacking chicken. Turns out the issue is related to the FaceBook content delivery network and a script that runs ads on several common websites. Untangle is...

    virus?

    I've seen a strange behavior lately on quite a few of my desktops (about 120 of them so far) that looks like a virus but I haven't been able to detect it with Kaspersky, Nod32, or Security Essentials Offline. A little about my network: Windows XP 2003 Active Directory IE 8 Kaspersky AV...

    Set up a small NOC?

    That sounds like Cacti would fit pretty much all your needs. I haven't used the virtual appliance they've got, but I have used the super-simplified CactiEZ install. Very smooth and a piece of cake to get running. I even monitor my server drive stats and printer consumables with it.

    Tell me what I am looking for....

    something like THIS with a power injector might suffice, although it's probably a bit more than you're really wanting to spend. I think 3COM made something similar and cheaper, but this was the first thing I found in a pinch.

    Cisco VRF examples

    That did the trick for me! I completely replicated my network and have been setting up for a load test. The thing that was holding me up was the misunderstanding of the route command. I didn't realize you could route x.x.x.x x.x.x.x interface IP. My last steps are to quickly build a cacti box to...

    Cisco VRF examples

    That's not so much of an option when you consider the total number of intercommunication loops that would be necessary. The nature of the network is such that Site1 will need to be able to route from Site2-Site11 as well as the DataCenter site. That's chewing up a LOT of ports for something that...

    Cisco VRF examples

    Okay, so I've been playing with a few attempts at getting this working but I'm stuck. Here's a snippet of what I've got so far: ip vrf Site1 rd: 10:1 route-target export 10:1 route-target import 10:1 interface GigabitEthernet1/1 switchport switchport access vlan 10 switchport mode...

    Cisco VRF examples

    I guess my next question would be: Is it possible to route between two VRFs? You're correct that I want the remote sites pushed through the content filter. I've been doing this with physically separated devices but want all that to live virtually on the core switch, thus eliminating the...

    Cisco VRF examples

    I think I've about got this figured out but I've run into something I'm not entirely clear about. I can establish the VRF and assign to interfaces, and machines on those interfaces can route within the VRF and ping other devices on the same VRF, but I can't ping to the 6500's address on...
