If I understand the documentation correctly, NetApp will (somehow) remember the physical interface a request arrived on, and make sure to its send replies out same. It sounds like a slight breakage of the expected behavior in order to gain load-sharing for their multiple NICs attached to the same subnet. IIRC, you can turn the feature off if it makes an issue. --D
OEMs for X2 10G LAN PHY optics
Hi, I am searching for opinions on OEMs of X2 form factor 10G LAN PHY optics. We've found that most router/switch vendors mark these particular items up significantly just to provide their own sticker/EEPROM ID. As such, we'd prefer if we can to procure from the OEM (or their reseller). Is this a situation where any company who's a signatory to the MSA produces suitable modules, or are there particular OEMs to prefer (or avoid)? If it matters, the prime platform we're looking to plug optics into is the WS-X6708-10G module for a 6500/7600. Thanks in advance --Duane

[1] Request Tracker -- http://bestpractical.com/ -- Really nice open source ticketing system [2] Bugzilla -- http://www.bugzilla.org -- Another nice tool, built more "for the programmer" then operations. Used by Mozilla and Redhat for their bug trackers. [3] Atlassian JIRA -- http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/ -- Commercial tool, also more developer-centric then operations-centric, but should be easily adaptable to your needs. Used by ASF many Apache subprojects. Atlassian recently changed their pricing model to include 10 users for $10. Of the three, I personally prefer JIRA -- to the point of setting up one of the $10 systems to keep up with the honey-do list at home. --D

We've had lots of success with both APC and Baytech units. A lot of the Baytech units ONLY have RS-232. Ditto on the mounting issues with the vertical -- deeper and/or wider cabinets seem to reduce a lot of the pain. On our next buildout we're looking at the Panduit CS1 cabinets which are both deeper and wider. --D

Yes, a PIX/ASA would stop this cold. The TCP state tracking would not allow traffic to pass unless the whole 3-way handshake was observed by the box. Only recently did Cisco add features to make tracking the TCP connection state optional. (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/conns_tcpstatebypass.pdf) The larger ASA-5580 machines can be virtualized into dozens (or more) security contexts as needed. I imagine it would take some effort to figure out how to cleanly integrate such a configuration into a POP. --D
