Comment on CISCO ASA, how do you allow an internal client to access a machine on another VLAN that resolves with a public IP? by carlo

hi.. tried this, but it doesn’t work
Internal Lan 10.0.0.42 (interface lan) want to access to 85.44.190.190 (wan1) that has a nat rule to 192.168.77.71 (dmz)
Static Nat rule is defined :
Original: Interface: DMZ – Source: 192.168.77.71
Translated Interface: LAN – Use ip address 85.44.190.190
Is it correct?

Comment on Dell PowerConnect 2724 and VLAN Trunk by CP7

Hi Shankaran,

Thanks for a great article.
I’m about to implement it in my environment but I would like to confirm a few things with you if that’s ok?

This is what I have in my environment:
Cisco ASA 5510
Port 1.1 – VLAN 10 (Local LAN)
Port 1.2 – VLAN 20 (DMZ)
Both are using PORT 1 on the Cisco.

2724
Port 24 – connected to Cisco ASA PORT 1 – VLAN Membership ID 10 & 20 is set to T.

Port 23 – connected to 3Com 4200G – VLAN Membership ID 10 is set to T.

Port 1-4 – connected to VMware Server – VLAN Membership ID 10 & 20 is set to T because few VM servers would be on the DMZ and some on local LAN.

Port 5-22 connected to LAN PCs on VLAN 10 so I left the VLAN Membership to U.

Now, this is the tricky part.
I don’t know what to set on VLAN Port Setting.
Right now, everthing is defaulted to PVID 1.

How do I make Port 24 and 1-4, PVID 10 & 20? Or I should just leave it at PVID 1?
Do I need to make Port 23, PVID 10?

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.

We have three PowerConnect 2748 and would like to setup VLans (two internal & one DMZ) on all three connected by fibre cables interlinking all three. This way all the traffic will be passed at the switch level. Can this be done on this model?

Sorry for the LATE responses guys, been so busy. I’m back now though. I don’t have these devices anymore to assist but I will try my best from memory.

Brian you are probably on the wrong VLAN.

Greg glad I could be of help.

Steffo I am unaware of the similarities between that device and the 2700 series. Are any of the changes mentioned above visible in your device?

Hello Shankaran,

I’m interested in the LAG function could you please give me more information on how to set it up? There are so many places in my switch(PowerConnect 5424) that have LAG settings.

Comment on Apache web server on windows, how to password protect directory by john

john — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:23:47 +0000

I am not able to get the password authentication to work on my windows 7 (64 bit).

—Below is the entry in my .htaccess file:

AuthUserFile “C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/bin/.htpasswd”
AuthName “Private Network Login Password Required”
AuthType Basic

require valid-user

—————————————————————
–Below is my entry in the httpd.conf file

#……………………………………………………….
#STEP 1. Check for the ACCESSFILENAME directive. On Windows, let us
# also add the “ht.acl” because although any XP allows me to
# save a file with “.htaccess” some erlier versions may not
# allow for it.
#……………………………………………………….
AccessFileName .htaccess

#……………………………………………………….
#STEP 2. Create a DIRECTORY directive for the directory that you want
# to password-protect. My e.g., a filed called “SECURE” inside
# the root apache folder.
#……………………………………………………….

AllowOverride All
Options None
Order deny,allow
