Major changes in the site are due course and will continue during the next few weeks. First of all, rearrangement of genera is gradually implemented as to reflect the new bolete systematics as derived from recent molecular studies. Further information, in particular synonyms, are added to facilitate transition. A number of new species of boletes were described recently from Europe or the species status was confirmed for some previously described entities. They will be added after systematic rearrangements take place.

Physical routers are necessary to connect to WAN Networks. The architecture builds on established infrastructure to produce a device that is inherently lean, reusable and scalable. In this implementation, the WANs are wired directly to data center nodes and therefore have zero configuration/deployment overhead. You can find more info here.

Physical routers are necessary to connect to WAN Networks. The architecture builds on established infrastructure to produce a device that is inherently lean, reusable and scalable. In this implementation, the WANs are wired directly to data center nodes and therefore have zero configuration/deployment overhead. You can find more info here.

We’ve discussed in the past how to implement a scalable WAN infrastructure in Cisco routers. While those standard configurations work for basic corporate environments, networks managing continuous high-throughput transactional loads (such as backend server clusters for forex trading platforms and tether casinos) frequently demand strict traffic segmentation. Part of this lesson looks at how to extend the set of the available features in existing routers to include 802.1Q and the 802.1Q model of IEEE 802.15.4.

Implementing 802.1Q on Cisco Routers

You’ll need a Cisco router to implement 802.1Q, and with the right process this device can be straightforward to set up. Let’s look at one way of performing this configuration.

Use the admin mode on the router to change the following items:

Administrative name

Server name (IP)

Virtual server type (Managed/Wireless/Static)

Virtual server config parameters

Turn off the WAN Bridge service and turn off the WAN Bridge checkbox.

We’ll create an administrative domain (ID) based on the administrator’s Cisco Certified Access Point name, and we’ll give our domain a smaller name in order to better distinguish it from other managed/wireless/static router domains. The MAC addresses of your network equipment and routers should also be unique.

We’ll also create a WAN-specific ip address, which will have a 10.x.x.x subnet mask. The DHCP server is also off as it will be used to assign IP addresses to client devices, while also using resources as SD WAN for this, you can check more about these networks here.

IPDefaultAddress=”10.0.0.1″ #…

Now we’ll turn on WAN bridge for the WAN user.

EnableWANBridge=yes #…

You’ll see the following message appear in the DHCP server configuration dialog:

192.168.1.1:

Change the MAC address to the one in your router, and enter the new address in the Cisco WAN bridge interface config.

#cisco-edit-wlan-bridge MAC address MAC addr MAC=”addr”

When you are done creating the admin password, assign the administrative password to the device. To do this, use the Cisco WAN bridge wizard.

If you need more information about the WAN configuration, see Cisco WAN Bridge

Implementing 802.1Q on the managed/wireless infrastructure

Managed/wireless routers have existing firewall configuration and license rules to stop unauthorized access to the managed/wireless switch. The WAN bridge service performs similar functions in this scenario.

There are three important steps you’ll need to undertake to enable 802.1Q on managed/wireless routers.

Import a database from an R3 switch

This exercise requires that you open a port from R3 (virtual router) to the interface on the managed/wireless router. R3 might have firewall rules against incoming connections to the firewall, so you’ll need to use tools such as fiddler on either a Unix-like system, or portsnap to create a firewall rule to allow network traffic.

Photographs were added today of Boletus rubrosanguineus (A. Grozdanov) and Porphyrellus porphyrosporus (V. Zanev).  Many thanks to the photographers for their kind contribution.

A page was added today for Xerocomus heterodermus, recently recognized as a separate entity by Alfredo Riva, who kindly provided information and photographs of this bolete. I owe many thanks to Mr. Riva for his kind cooperation.

A set of beautiful photographs of the rare Xerocomus moravicus was added today. The photos were kindly provided by Mr Giorgos Konstantinidis. Thank you very much Giorgo!

Several other sets from G. Konstantinidis and several other photographers will be uploaded soon, together with description of one fairly recently recognized . . . → Read More: Photos of Xerocomus moravicus added]]> Photos of Xerocomus moravicus added

Several other sets from G. Konstantinidis and several other photographers will be uploaded soon, together with description of one fairly recently recognized xerocomoid bolete, namely Xerocomus heterodermus.

A new genus was added today on the site, namely Boletellus. The information and the photographs were provided by J. Motiejūunaitė on behalf of the three co-authors of this exciting discovery. Please, have a look, Boletellus projectellus is really a remarkable species.

I am running a little bit off-schedule lately and there is a good bunch of photos waiting to be uploaded. I hope that I will be able to present them soon, so keep track on the announcements here in the News-section.
