    Well Heres Some of mine.   I wasnt able to put all the cables on and this doesnt even touch any of the Vlans, Routing or VPN links.  So just some of the physical layer.
    At some point I will post the real time network diagram im working on, yay for SNMP
     
    Key:
    Red  = 1Gbs
    Black = 100 Mbs
    Orange = 100Mbs Port Channels
    Green = 4GBs Multimode OM4 Fibre
    Blue = 1GBs Multimode OM4 Fibre
     
    Any links close togeather are Aggregated links with Spanning Tree enabled (oviously )

    Probably, it depends how your network is set up.  The basic's are you cant have two internet gateways "normaly".
     
    You would need to specify which adapter your VPN used also. Im farely sure at least in windows you can just sellect to use a different adapter for VPN's such as PPTP
     
    Personlay what i have done is I have setup and VPN client using PFsense and that client is setup on a different local network range. So I keep my normal home network and also have another, Any extra networks or adapters you dont set the Default gateway on. So you keep your "internet" connection and also still have access to your VPN network range.
     
    You can use your second adapter for your VPN client connection thats fine.
     
    EG:
    Lan1 (internet) 192.168.1.1  255.255.255.0  (defualt gateway 192.168.1.1)
    Lan2 (VPN Client1) 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0  No default gateway
    Lan3 (VPN Client 2) 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0  No default gateway
     
    This setup howerver will take some time to do, I only chose this way because I need to have access to multiple VPN ranges.
    Another posibility is that you just buy a second small PC have one NIC on the internet and the other directly attatched to you PC that you just remote desktop to.

    Abdul201588's link is your answer to this
    You do know you can setup SSH dont you?  All Cisco devices even the newest ones that are well over £500,000  have console ports on their cards.
     
    Configure your switch on the lan:
     
    en
    conf t
    int vlan1
    ip address (put ip here EG: 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 )
    desc managment
    exit
     
    Setup ssh:
     
    conf t
    hostname        Put-you-host-name-here
    ip domain-name        put-domain-name-here
    crypto key generate rsa
    line vty 0 4
    login local
    transport input ssh
    ip ssh version 2
    exit
    username put-name-here privilege 15 secret put-password-here
     
     
    the 3560 is a nice switch by the way, it may be slightly "old" but its the software that counts,  Its L3 so can it do some cool stuff.

    KTFO|SGTmoody got a reaction from Goodman2265 in Help with my Cisco Catalyst 3560 Switch   
    Hi
     
    The 3560 will have 10/100 ports (Unless its a 3560G),  if you have the 24 port version then you do have 2  10/100/1000  SFP ports to use, The 48 port verison have 4X 10/100/1000 ports.
    For you to make use of theses Gigabit ports on your switch you will need a Cisco (or cisco compatible) GLC-T module
    Ebay example of GLC-T module: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GLC-T-1000BASE-T-100-Cisco-Compatible-5-Year-warranty-SAME-DAY-SHIPPING-RoHS-/141404022690?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20ec5627a2
     
    Fibrestore (compatible) module: http://www.fiberstore.com/new-cisco-glc-t-compatible-1000base-tx-sfp-transceiver-module-p-11773.html
    Fibrestore are cheeper and we use these in our datacentre on Catalyst 6500, 6800 and ASR-9k routers with out issues so can 99% garantee they would work in a 3560.
     
    Short answer is you cant get above 95Mbs because your connecting though 100mbs port.  So the phisical fabric is limiting you. If you use the GLC-T modules then you will get the 170Mbs your after
     
     
    Hope this helps mate!
     
    Edit:  I see you must have got the IOS upgrade sorted that with the Config I sent you ?

    Unfortuanlty this is not the answer to the problem.  Switches and Routers are different things the fact that the switch and router are different would not increase speed.
    the problem is because he is on 10/100 Mbs ports and he needs 1000Mbs ports

    Under Network Adapters, "network adapter 1394" has a yellow exclamation mark. On properties the device status message box reads: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)". Troubleshooting suggested that I uninstall and reinstall the device, which I did but didn't do a difference. So I guess all that's left is to install the new drivers. Thanks for the help!

    These are the drivers for the board but i dont see a proper driver for your NIC on the site : http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1916#dl
     
    Open device manager for us and see you have a yellow triangel next to anything (especialy your network adapters )   To open device manager quickly  do  Windows key + R and then paste: devmgmt.msc in the run box and hit enter.
     
    If everything is there then its just a simple network config on the network adapter.
    You will want to tell your network adapter to use DHCP  then everything should work.

    KTFO|SGTmoody got a reaction from BrandonTheCat in 5 Port 1GB Network Hub   
    Does the boss know the difference between and Hub and a Switch...  ?     Hubs dont have IP's maybe you mean MAC addresses ? buet even then that wouldnt expalin "as the purpose here is to have 1 IP per hub, rather than having 5 IP's Per switch"
     
     
     
    Every switch I have ever seen supports 10/100 half and full duplex.  Unmanged switches dont require any management. also 10BASE2 and 5 use Coax, Hubs use TwistedPair, to connect them your going to nead converters which then turns it in to 10BASET  thus supported by all modern switches.
     
    "A hub cannot become compromised by a single user that brings down the network,"  I asume you have a router connected to this network ?  This can be the single device that brings down your network.  Along with all the people in your office that may decide to randomly plug things in to your hubs and easly create a loop, then your whole network dies.
     
    If your looking for secuirty then you need managed switches behind a firewall and a router with proper secuirty measures.  any device on your network can bring it down, its not hard to do so the use of a HUB will infact make it worse due to the way hubs work by sending all data to all pc's.
     
    conncecting lots of hubs togeather will create some seroius bottle necks when anyone transmits any data it will spread out to all 8 and create a F*ck tun of collisons slowing everything down even further as each PC has to wait for someone to stop talking and avoid the collision. 
     
    There are no benifits to using hubs at all in any enviroment ever.  If your seriously concened about your network secuirty you need to get 8 managed switches that support IP access lits, port blocking, spanning tree and port secuirty.  this way you can disable all un-used ports, have ports shut down if an un-recognised MAC address is used on the port, you can log all your network events via syslog and monitor the crap out of it.
     
    otherwise just get 8 unmanged switches and leave it at that, no one is going to try to find its MAC address to infultrate your network, If i wanted to break in im going straight for the router that has control of everthing and then the Bos's pc,  The switch helps me get there so im not going to attck it.
     
    another secuirty flaw of hubs are the fact they do send packets to every single port,  connect all 8 togeather and now all networked devices know about whats going on through the network.  All you have to do now is infect one PC and put a network sniffer on the PC's connection and listen to ALL the trafic. With switches the only way to replicate this is for someone to purposufly mirror the main uplink port and connect a device to the mirrored port so you can sniff it, even then this is not technicly a "networked " pc so still more secure than a hub.
     
    also Blebekblebek is correct with regards to his post.

    Or you can go the other direction away from the POF thing. 
    Its easy to just buy lengths of pre-termitated fibre cable and just connect them up
     
    Example of fibre (multimode): http://www.amazon.com/Multimode-Duplex-Fiber-Optic-Cable/dp/B00551KB1W
    Example of wall jacks: https://www.videk.co.uk/section.php/166/1/fibre-face-plates
    Example of switch to connect them up (core switch):

    Example of SFP's to get (bassed on compatibilty of what you get IE you need to keep them all the same)
     
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10051-Extreme-compatible-SFP-1000Base-SX-LC-550m-850nm-Multi-Mode-Transceiver-/181784896649?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a53396489
     
     
    Up to you on how future proof you want it.  POF will do 3Gbps up to 50M   Multimode will do 10Gbps up to 400M (using the OM4 grade fibre) so if you ever plan on upgrading at some point then thats something to think about.  Multimode isnt that bad to run as its core is slightly bigger it will accaept a slightly tighter turn over singlemode allthough not advised. Singlemode is probably not relevant as your not going in to the kilometers of distance.
     
    Personlay i would just buy the pre terminated multimode fibre with the SFP's that I need as I have the gear that uses it.  This is whats done in the enterprise world and is what you find in large buildings/offices datacenteres etc.
     
    You can allso get patchpanels if you plan to centralise your incoming fibres.
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fibre-Channel-24-Port-LC-Rack-Mount-Black-Patch-Panel-Fibre-Optic-Network-/400771616534?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d4fd98f16
     
    Note that there are diferent connector types for fibre,  all my links are using LC connectors, but you can also get SC , ST PC and others.  LC and SC are the most commen LC becoming more commend now unless your getting in to specilised connections.
     
    Also something else to add,  If you ever plan to use your network for mass storage data transfer EG backing up to a NAS PC etc. then you can use these run fibres with FibreChanel modules and use the lines as a storage network as the LC connectors/fibre dont care what they are pluged in to as long as you use mulimode modules with mulimode fibre and single mode modules with single mode fibre,
     
    Then if your running say 12-24 fibres from downstairs to upstairs then you can get amored cable with multiple fibres inside for a 1 cable run but multiple fibres,
    This was the first example I found : http://www.netshop.co.uk/product/740/fci/structured-cabling/fibre-optic--pre-terminated-assemblies/fibre-preterminated-custom-build-service

    If your trying to attach something to 3 phase then you can choose any one of the 3 phases as the Live termianl then just connect up your Neutral and Ground wires.
    the live termianls on 3 phase are Brown,Black and Greay,  Blue neutral and green/rellow as Earth,   If you dont know what your doing or know nothing about wireing or 3 phase and your trying to connect somthing to your 3 phase power then I suggest you dont do it and ask someone that knows how to,  Dont want you to be blown accross the room. 
     
    If your wifi is bad and your in a big hose with your wireless bing provided from down staris,  have you considared somthing like multiple wireless access points?

    you often get things like this when managed switches and connected with unmanaged ones, or a typically fun one is ip phones.
    generally you will want to enable a few things on the edge of your managed network;
    BPDU Guard (often easy to integrate with portfast)
    storm-control (use it to shut down ports if broadcast traffic exceeds your limits)
     
    Another reason I see this happen is because of excessive switch chaining. spanning tree can only calculate loops on default settings over a network with a diameter of 7, so splitting up your L2 network with routers can help or even just connecting your switches in a few simple star configurations and linking the core of each star can help.
