Local Cisco Vendors
by Odhiambo Washington 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Are there Cisco vendors in KE who will not ask a novice like me funny questions, or is it my amateurish knowledge that makes me feel this way?? I have the following output from one of the Cisco ASA I manage: <cut> Licensed features for this platform: Maximum Physical Interfaces : 8 VLANs : 3, DMZ Restricted Inside Hosts : Unlimited *Failover : Disabled* VPN-DES : Enabled VPN-3DES-AES : Enabled VPN Peers : 10 WebVPN Peers : 2 *Dual ISPs : Disabled* VLAN Trunk Ports : 0 This platform has a Base license. </cut> So, I have two Internet links which I'd like to terminate into the ASA (5505) and configure fail-over. From the little I've read, I require an enhanced license so that I can have the "Failover" and "Dual ISPs" features enabled, no? I have contacted a local vendor, who is telling me that <quote> Hi Odhiambo, The failover license is only applicable when you have two ASA appliance and you need High Availability on the appliance not links. If you have two internet links and you want to load balance, then you might need a Cisco router. </quote> Now, can someone tell me: 1. Why I'd need failover license for two ASA appliances? Wouldn't those just work independently, or does one ASA have to autosense that it's workmate lost the Internet link and thus ask it to "failover to me"? :-) 2. How do I enable those two features? I have two ISPs (DSL and SDSL). I'd like to terminate both on the ASA and let the device handle cases where one link goes down. 3. I think requiring a Cisco Router for my situation would be an overkill when I already have ASA. Am I just being an anti-nyita, guys? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Just to add to what aki has mentioned. Lenovo already have the Intel chipsets on their thinkpad edge 13. The laptop has been available since Feb at about 600 dollars.

Imagine I just heard about DDR3 two months ago:-) > > > -- > Best regards, > Odhiambo WASHINGTON, > Nairobi,KE > +254733744121/+254722743223 Hey @Wash, Just as wifi a/b/g/n has become common place on Laptops/netbooks, Intel is now embedding 4g/Wimax radio modules on newer machines with Intel Core i5/i7 and Atom. The 4G/Wimax is based on the Intel Chipset and Radio technology. Since many telcos are yet to go 4G/Wimax or are in planning stages, the new development from Intel becomes a grand chance for them to deploy Intel Chipset based 4g/Wimax which will allow off the shelf technology convergence with telco/ISP core networks. This is true convergence between off the shelf computers and true broadband internet access. To the end user, they will see the 4g/Wimax stations as if they are wireless hotspots. The other advantage of using the Intel 4G/Wimax technology is that globally the 4G/Wimax sector is growing and thus using the same technology platform would mean end users travelling in such countries could connect seamlessly to such networks without the need for any aditional hardware purchases and could also have global internet roaming subscriptions.
