  • How to change a root bridge

    I have 2 stacked 3750s as the core and downstream I have 6 2950. I have noticed one of the 2950s is the root. My question is if making the 3750 stack the root will make the network performace better? and how could i change the 3750 to be the root?

  • Need to understand how 2003 DNS server root hints work

    Hello Experts, I've got a problem resolving a particular external Internet address on all the (internal domain) DNS servers in one of my domains. I do not use forwarders, only root hints (no forwarders). We switched ISPs about 2 weeks ago and have had this problem since. I've configured several...

  • Cannot delete DFS root replica so I can recreate it...

    Ok. I've been at this for a week. I bought a new 2003 Server and have been transferring all network functions from our old server to the new one.

    Recently we have experienced a slowdown in resolving names. Our DNS Server uses a forwarder to our ISP. When I connect to the ISP's modem directly there is no problem resolving addresses (eg nslookup www.microsoft.com ) so the problem does not appear to be our ISP's DNS servers. When I do the...

  • Root Hints Question

    I have a 2003 AD domain. Each DC running DNS is configured with a forwarder to which all DNS queries (that the servers are not authoritative for, or do not already have cached) are sent. I don't want to allow these servers to directly query any root dns servers, so I deleted the root hints and also...
