    I've gotten an "American" every time I've called them too.

    email policies and hippa

    That's very interesting. But also a little vague. In this case, we are county government with a self-funded health plan. So while we fall in the "not required" category of "employers", it seems like we certainly fall in the "must follow" category of "company health plans". As a whole, are...

    email policies and hippa

    This question is probably the base for a much bigger discussion and I do intend to poll other resources so there won't be any decisions made from an internet forum answer, but here goes: Employee is terminated or leaves. Department head asks for access to that employees email account to...

    Do you archive work emails?

    Most people aren't smart enough to archive to an external drive and/or have multiple copies so you end up with: 1) My hard drive in my computer crashed and now my archive is gone forever. 2) I got a new computer and forgot to move my archive over before they wiped/reloaded/destroyed the old hard...

    Switch Recommendation for ISCSI SAN

    We are using Cisco 3560 24 port GigE switches for our iscsi san. 3560s have the same processing power as a 3750, they just don't have the stacking capability. Our install is about 9 months old and we have had no issues. We have two of them installed, completely separate of each other for...

    network "ring"

    Well, that's essentially how it used to be configured, only I was using RIP instead of EIGRP. However, some unique obstacles presented themself and I learned about VLANs and figured out that they would solve the obstacle problem so I went that route. Dumb question....if the subnet is isolated...

    network "ring"

    Isn't a Cisco 3560 with "ip routing" enabled a L3 switch? Yes, the physical sites are all unique subnets. However, we occasionally span a vlan out to a remote site (for example, to drop a remote port and user into a restricted vlan). I see what you're saying. I played around with this config...

    network "ring"

    1) I think it was AA, I'll verify when I'm back in the office tomorrow. 2) Each switch is a different subnet except AA which has all three. I left out the fact that it's a /24 mask for the IPs. Is that what you're asking? 3) That would be star topology which is not what I'm trying to accomplish...

    network "ring"

    Well, I was pretty happy with 12 seconds but are you saying if I configure a routing protocol properly, that I will see that time decrease?

    No routing protocol configured. Brand new switches out of the box, just powered on today.

    network "ring"

    I have three Cisco 3560's in a lab right now. Let's call them AA, BB, and CC. AA connects to BB connects to CC connects to AA. All via trunk connections. AA is acting as core. IP routing enabled on all. AA has: int vlan 10 w/ IP 10.100.10.1 int vlan 11 w/ IP 10.100.11.1 int vlan 12 w/ IP...

    electrical question

    This is purely temporary until my properly specced PDU comes in. Hopefully that will happen before I need to do this.

    electrical question

    If I have an L21-20 120/208V 20A, 3 phase receptacle, can I use an L21-20 plug with either a 120 or 208 volt device? Another question, if I have a device that has an L6-20 plug, can I rewire it to an L21-20 plug? Thanks.

    APC data distribution cables

    I believe you've described in #2 the issue I described in the OP. It is tricky and I haven't solved it.

    cabinet recommendation needed

    I found this one... http://www.rackmountsolutions.net/Wrs_%20Enlarged.asp ...which seems pretty nice. I think as long as the front is shielded off, it will cut down the dust bunnies drastically.

    cabinet recommendation needed

    I need an enclosed wall mount cabinet. It will hold three Cisco 3560 48 port POE switches which have a depth of 14.9 inches. Amazingly enough, there are no patch panels, it's all home runs. It also needs to be dust bunny resistant. The dust bunnies in this area run rampant and multiply like...

    APC data distribution cables

    http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=271 Anyone using those? I am, and they work fine and save a lot of time. However, have you figured out how to install them so there is not a big loop of cable in the middle as you try to get the port numbers to match?

    238 drops....

    ....how would you build the data rack? It's a new building. It's actually 119 faceplates with 2 drops in each. The MDF has two racks side by side. Not more than 96 ports will actually be live. Put all the drops in one rack, switches in the other, run patch cables horizontally? Just put it...
