Dell: x86 is the future of the data center
In a speech in Columbus, Ohio, Dell CTO Kevin Kettler said that the future of the data center is x86 servers, dominated by four-socket servers and smaller.
COLUMBUS, OHIO – The chief technology officer at Dell said last week that the future data center will be dominated by x86 servers.
Kevin Kettler, speaking Wednesday at Emerson Network Power's AdaptiveXchange show in Columbus, Ohio, advocated his company's focus on "scale-out" architecture, contrasting with the other three major vendors -- IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems -- which have their hands in scale-out and scale-up architectures.
"Dell is a big proponent of scale-out," he said during the afternoon keynote address, later adding that "one-, two-, and four-socket systems represent the future of the data center."
x86 up, midrange and enterprise servers down
The x86 systems are the only ones gaining revenue. In the past two fiscal quarters, midrange and enterprise servers have lost revenue while x86 server revenue has increased, according to recent IDC figures. Dissenters say that the capabilities of x86 systems have a ceiling, and that midrange and enterprise servers are best for certain kinds of workloads.
It makes sense that Dell would support scale-out architecture considering that it doesn't sell any servers larger than four sockets.
Dell's most expensive server is a four-socket machine that starts at just over $5,000. Less than 10% of its revenues come from server sales. Still, Dell sells more than $5 billion in servers each year.
"What's really worked out to Dell's benefit is the creation of multi-core systems," said Joe Clabby, president of research firm Clabby Analytics. "Those two-way and four-way designs they put together can really perform strongly."
Differing opinions
Still, Clabby doesn't agree with Kettler's assessment that scale-out will dominate the future data center.
"I think that for certain workloads scale-out is appropriate, and for certain workloads scale-up is appropriate," he said. "Scale-out works very well for decision support systems such as Web content and handling streaming and read-only data. Those types of applications run really well in scale-out environments. The short transactions that require high I/O rates, those run optimally on scale-up environments like mainframes."
Kettler said Dell determined its position by looking at issues such as wasted capacity, as well as the perceived future of processor technology and virtualization.
Kettler said that when a company is starting out small but then begins to grow quickly, it must plan out capital expenses five years down the road. By buying a scale-up machine, such as a midrange or enterprise system, they're spending more money to accommodate capacity that they're not going to need for years. By scaling out with smaller servers, he said a company can buy as needed and minimize wasted capacity.
"When that hardware gets deployed, it's actually very relevant in terms of deployment," he said about x86 systems. "If you're buying a year or two ahead, by the time you deploy that capacity, it is actually outdated in terms of the value proposition you might be looking at for your data center."
It's all about the chips
Dell is anticipating the continuing development of chip technology and the ability to fit more cores on a single silicon die. Major chipmakers Intel and AMD plan to have quad-core server chips available in the next year, and Intel has revealed a plan to develop up to 80 cores on a single chip in the next five years. With those advances, Kettler said most companies won't need to have servers with more than four sockets, because the processors inside them will be exponentially more powerful than they are today.
Kettler also thinks that virtualization technology will continue to increase scale-out server utilization. "It will get to a point where [virtualization] becomes a standard feature of the machines being shipped from a factory," he said.

The government will officially open its Open Data Institute in "Tech City" this week as part of its commitment to its own transparency action plan.
The Institute's founders Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the web, and professor Nigel Shadbolt have assembled a team to help government and business identify commercially valuable public data.
The Institute also promises to nurture innovative data-driven start-ups, and support both the public and private sectors so they can work effectively with open data.
Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude, who will formally open the ODI, said: "A belief in the power of open data to drive economic growth and create prosperity is central to our commitment to transparency.
"The Open Data Institute is already helping to foster a new generation of innovative businesses built on this 21st-century raw material, and to develop the specialist skills among data technologists that will see the creation of new products and services."
Maude said the government will work with the ODI to make data more readily available, accessible and maximise its potential for stimulating growth. In the Chancellor's Autumn Statement last year, the government committed to releasing key open datasets on health, transport, weather and welfare.
To date, open data releases include real-time public transport data, information on prescribing by GP surgeries, and hospital treatment outcomes linked to data on GP referrals.
Maude said: "We are already seeing the development of British technology businesses that have tapped into these datasets."
Overall, he said, the government has published almost 9,000 datasets so far, and "a number of data-driven start-ups are already working with the ODI at its East London base", Maude said.
Four data-driven start-up businesses are already working in the ODI's HQ. These are Placr, which creates commuter-focused apps and makes multiple transportation data sets available in one place for developers, and Locatable, which makes house-hunting easier by providing all the information people might need about a location.
In addition Open Corporates is aiming to bring all the information about all the companies in the world together in one place, and Mastodon C is a Big Data analytics company that plans to increase the environmental performance of cloud computing.

Health officials say a third person has died from the flu in Brevard County.
Florida Today reports a 63-year-old woman who had been on life support for at least a month is the latest victim. She died on Wednesday at Parrish Medical Center in Titusville.
Officials say a fourth person remains on life support at the hospital.
In January, a new mother in her 20s and another person died of the flu. Health officials said none of the patients had received a flu shot and all had underlying medical conditions, including diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pregnancy.
Health department epidemiologist Bayy Inman told the newspaper the virus is starting plateau in Brevard County, but they're not "out of the woods yet."

Sorry if it's been already covered, but I ran into a weird problem with W520. The issue is that it will not wake up from sleep. Basically, I close the lid, the system enters into the sleep mode. After I open up the lid, the system tries to turn on (I see HDD light up), but the screen stays black and the system just shuts down, then it all happens over again. I am forced to remove the battery to boot it properly. No BSOD or anything, just the system can't wake up.
This may be somehow connected to the docking station, as it most frequently happens when I close the lid in the docking station, but open the lid when undocked. Also happens when laptop enters sleep disconnected, but I dock it and then open the lid.
I tried BIOS upgrade, but no luck. Anyone seen this before?
Thanks so much.

I've experienced this same problem in the past with other computers - put it to sleep (or hibernate it) in the dock, then wake it up not connected to the dock (or vice-versa) and the computer gets all confused and doesn't come back to life normally.
I'm going to guess that there are just too many variables involved for the OS to cope with (the sudden addition or disconnection of all the different devices that are connected to the dock). So, what I learned to do long ago is to just shut the darn thing off whenever I remove it from the dock, or plan to put it back in the dock next time I want to use it. This is, I think, the easiest and most pragmatic 'fix'.
My current computer (a W520) is a pretty trouble-free machine, but occasionally I will put it to sleep or hibernate it when I am away from the dock, then stick it into the dock and press the power button to start it up (forgetting that I had put it to sleep or hibernated it at last use, rather than turning it off). About half the time the computer gets all pissed off and confused and does not boot properly, the other half of the time, it boots normally. So, what you are seeing is not uncommon. But, honestly, I don't think there is enough time left in either of our lifetimes to track down and identify all the possible hardware permutations that could be causing this problem, and then resolve them.
This is great, Michael. Thank you so much for your reply. I understand where you are coming from but hoped that may be it's a known issue. This is very sad that such corporate monsters as Lenovo are having hard time polishing such an important use case as computer going to sleep. Next time I think I will just pay the extra charge for an Apple laptop... They won me over

Hi Wabisabi:
My guess is that the cause of the problem lies more with the operating system (Windows 7) than with the manufacturer of the hardware (Lenovo).
Years ago, in a previous version of Windows, there was an additional command available from the shutdown menu that was entitled "Eject". This command was available whenever the OS detected that the computer was in a docking station. I don't know if this command was something built into Windows by Microsoft, or built into the ThinkPads by Lenovo (IBM at the time). In any case, when this particular command was executed, the computer electronically detached itself from all the devices it was connected to via the docking station, and then went to sleep, ready to be removed from the dock.
It appears that this command is no longer available.
Hi, guys,
I have experienced the sleep/hibernate problem, but no longer have this issue. I have a lot of devices hanging from my dock / USB hub, and yet no sleep/wake problems in either direction.
I suspect this may have something to do with the upgrade I did from BIOS 1.06 to 1.30, but I'm not sure. I wonder what the difference is in our configurations.
I'm with Michael on this one, as I've seen the problem before on my old Dell notebook under Windows XP. The problem could well be in the O/S. Who's to say?
Thanks everybody for the feedback. It looks like it might be an engineering problem, as W510 series has similar complaints:
Here is what they say in the solution:
"This issue was initially raised to engineering however they weren't able to replicate the problem at their end so they have recommended customers to update the Lenovo drivers and Windows drivers."
This is plainly ridiculous as the meaning of the above is this: "We don't care to properly investigate and find out why this is happening, so we just give the catch-all-advice". I would accept this from Acer, but Lenovo?!?
I have this exactly same issue, and I hate it so much. I am looking for a way to slove this issue too. However, sadly I haven't found any. I called their tech support, they want me send the machine back, then they can fix it. But, this is the only computer that I have. I gotta use it everyday. I can't afroid the time to wait for it.
This is happening to me too but I run Linux. Maybe 1/4 of the time it will start to wake up, print a bunch of kernel messages about ACPI battery variables then freeze.

A Texas judge has decided to continue allowing, for now, a Southeast Texas high school's cheerleaders to use run-through banners with biblical verses at football games.
State District Judge Steve Thomas said Thursday at the end of a day of testimony that he needs more time to issue a final ruling. He extended a temporary order granted last month to allow the banners. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 18.
Kountze High School cheerleaders have used run-throughs at football games with scripture verses, such as "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me."
U.S. & World
An attorney advised the district to ban the run-throughs as possibly violating U.S. Supreme Court rulings barring prayer in schools.
The Plano, Texas-based Liberty Institute sued, arguing the ban violates the cheerleaders' free-speech rights.

The Times' Tom Whipple reports on a new study which indicates that the number of face-to-face interactions between staff fell precipitously after companies switched to an open-plan design. Researchers for a study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B found that such encounters in open-plan offices declined by 70%. Ethan Bernstein from Harvard Business School observes that when workers had too little privacy they were more likely to try to compensate in other ways. "People put on huge headphones to avoid distraction.

Examples from a recent edition:
We hear this complaint too often, the Ulrich model does not work here! We'd argue look harder at yourself – don't blame Dave Ulrich, he never promised you a silver bullet.
A recent report on his work has drawn a response from the Dave Ulrich, commenting on The Ulrich Model Comes of Age, he told HR Magazine judging the effectiveness of the original concepts is like "saying that televisions, cell phones, or computers built in 1990 do not offer the services required in the 2010."

After Hours Code Compliance
Starting in August Code Compliance will begin extending hours to concentrate on parking issues in neighborhoods. Code Compliance will be focusing on items such as parking on unimproved surfaces, parking vehicles across sidewalks, oversized and commercial vehicles, trailers on residential streets, and illegal home businesses. Below are some examples of the violations our inspectors will be looking for during this extended time of enforcement.
- Parking on Unimproved Surfaces
- Sidewalk Vehicle Encroachment
- Oversized, Commercial, and Modified Vehicles in Residentially Zoned Areas
- Trailers on the streets
- Illegal Home Businesses
City ordinance sets strict rules for parking surfaces in front, side, and back yards in residential areas. In general, the city's rules are as follows:
- It is illegal to park any kind of vehicle (car, truck, boat, motorcycle, utility trailer, or recreational vehicle) on the grass or dirt.
- In a front yard, parking surfaces must either be concrete (5 inches thick) or interlocking concrete paving tiles on an approved sub-base.
- In a side or back yard, citizens may construct parking areas made of concrete, asphalt, or gravel (white rock or pea gravel 6 inches deep) held in place by an approved border such as treated lumber.
Due to the highly specific requirements, all residents and owners planning to construct a parking surface should contact the Building Inspection Department at 972-205-2300, and obtain a permit before construction.
Vehicles parked over the sidewalk pose hazards for pedestrians and other vehicles. At no time should vehicles be parked over the sidewalk.
Oversized vehicles are restricted in residential areas. Examples of oversized vehicles are a truck tractor, road tractor, semi-trailer, tow truck, passenger motor vehicle designed to carry more than 16 persons (including the driver), or any other modified vehicle with a manufacturer's rating of 9,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or higher. The oversized vehicle is allowed in a residential area only if it is actively being used in the loading or delivery of passengers or goods. Recreational vehicles (motor homes, travel trailers, boats, and utility trailers less than 18 feet in length) must be parked on private property and not on the street.
Trailers (attached or unattached to a vehicle) of any size are prohibited from parking on public property unless providing a service to a residence.
Several rules apply to businesses that are conducted from the home:
- All business must be conducted indoors, by a person residing in the home.
- The business may not offer goods for sale or display on the premises.
- The business may not require the delivery or shipment of goods from the residence.
- Outside storage of materials or equipment connected with the home business is prohibited.
- The use of signs connected with the home occupation is prohibited on the property.
- The business may not create noise, odor, light, smoke, a need for additional parking, or a substantial increase in traffic.
Specific prohibited home occupations and activities include vehicle sales and/or the repair of vehicles other than those owned by the home owner or tenant, a wrecker, limousine or taxi service and animal breeding.

Benching Case Keenum for Matt Schaub sends Texans backward
Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak made a decision so bad during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Oakland Raiders, it could cost him his job next year.
Benching Case Keenum was just that bad.
MORE: Must-see images | Live scoreboard | Recap
Keenum's fearlessness, mobility and the ability to make big plays off would-be broken ones has been inspiring, despite the Texans losing the three games he had started going into Sunday. It's true he wasn't great overall (13-of-24 passing, 170 yards, touchdown, first INT of his career) in the 28-23 loss to Raiders through nearly three quarters. But Keenum gave his team the best chance of coming back from a 28-17 deficit that had as much to do with the Texans defense struggling with Raiders backups Mike McGloin and Rashad Jennings as anything Keenum didn't do.
Instead, Kubiak, overseeing the game in press box in his first game back from a mini-stroke, made the call to sit Keenum in favor of former benched starter Matt Schaub. Schuab didn't exactly light it up (12-of-25, 155 yards, no TDs) as Houston settled for two field goals on three red zone trips to fall short and lose a franchise-record 10th-consecutive game.
The lasting image of the frustration came on the Texans' sidelines after the failed rally. The very non-diva wide receiver Andre Johnson, who had developed an outstanding downfield chemistry with Keenum, was caught on the sidelines expressing his "disappointment" with Schaub missing him on a would-be game-winning touchdown.
Even with the Texans falling hard from their AFC South champions status, Keenum had become a welcome bright a spot for a team that hasn't won since Week 2, the second of two successful Schaub-led fourth-quarterback comebacks. Even if the present had become a total disaster, what Keenum could be in the near future was something the best Texans' veterans, such as Johnson could embrace as something to help the team rebound in 2014.
Instead, Kubiak picked at an old wound. Once they went with Keenum and got the team playing better offense over the past month, there should have been no looking back at what could have been. Keenum is the Texans' future, and not Schaub. Given his midseason benching and the fact he is set to get $11 million from the Texans in 2013, it's unlikely the team can afford to stock with him beyond this season.
Unfortunately, Kubiak's future as the Texans' coach is also tied to what he does with his quarterbacks. There was no point going to Schaub over a healthy Keenum. The one TD pass Keenum did make, after a scramble to avoid a sack, regrouping himself near the sideline and firing a 42-yard strike to streaking tight end Garrett Graham, is one that few passers, let alone Schaub, can make in the NFL.
At worst, Keenum, would have fallen short in this game, just like Schaub. At the best, the young quarterback could have taken another big step in his development by handling another tough situation and coming out of with even greater respect from his older teammates. That's on Kubiak for not recognizing the current team and what it needs more at the moment.
With just one decision, his worst of the season, Kubiak has ensured, that just like Schaub, the Texans will be ready to move on without him.

Maybe Starbucks are right and they are actually making a loss in the United Kingdom. Why? Simply because there are so many options to go with your drink that it takes about 5 minutes to order a "Venti Skinny Wet Extra Hot Extra Shot Sugar-Free Vanilla Caramel Macchiato". You can pretty much go into any shop and hear this mantra in the first five minutes. What's the problem with this? The problem is that we are so intent on having our drink skinny that it doesn't matter what else goes in it. It's low fat so therefore your body will thank you for it.
It is ingrained in society that low fat is the best option in life. You can pretty much find low fat versions of anything, but where did this all start and is low fatting your life the best thing to do for your health?
The Low Fat epidemic
Roll back to the 90's and you will find the cause of heart attacks was put down to fat consumption and cholesterol. This resulted in a low-fat campaign trawling its way across western world. Many took to eliminating fat completely from their diet thinking that their cholesterol would be doing the same and therefore the population would suffer fewer heart attacks. Here comes the food industry releasing products that were effectively cholesterol free and fat free. Even bananas were labelled cholesterol free!
So what happened to the incidence of heart attacks? Well they rose. People started getting fatter and also Type 2 Diabetes swung its ugly head round the corner.
Fat free products
Fat is actually essential for us to function, particularly the absorption of Vitamins A,D, E & K. When you take the fat out of products such as yoghurt, it generally tastes absolutely disgusting. Now the big food companies know this so pack in the sugar to disguise the taste. Sugary foods disturb the balance of sugar in the blood. Excess and can be stored as fat leading to obesity, stored as triglycerides; leading to cholesterol forming in the body, or even excess insulin being released to deal with the sugar; leading to a diabetes type 2 risk.
Skinny milk
Have you noticed that skimmed no fat milk actually tastes sweeter than full fat milk? Skimmed milk has a higher Glycaemic Load and is actually a lot quicker digesting than whole milk. With the idea of wanting to keep fuller for longer then it may not be the best idea.
Case for sugar free
Artificial sweeteners (sucralose, aspartame and saccharine) surround us and despite being low in calories, they have been linked to health conditions (1). It's much better to include natural sugars such as Xylitol or Stevia. Unfortunately these options aren't available in Starbucks.
Cutting out all fats?
Not all fats are created equal but over the years may have been labelled the same. There are healthy fats such as monounsaturated fat (found in olive oil, avocados, peanuts and almonds) and Polyunsaturated fats are found in flaxseed walnuts and oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring & anchovies. Saturated fat is generally from animal or dairy sources and can be included as part of a healthy diet. It's important to keep it within government guidelines. In particular they are helpful in cooking, as the oils are more stable when heated.
Coconut oil has risen in the ranks of the saturated fats as it can raise the protective HDL cholesterol (2) and also may promote weight-loss(3) as well as being touted as having immune and antimicrobial properties.

This document describes in detail the operation and configuration of the Virtual LAN (VLAN) Select modified feature in the controller software release version 7.2.103. In addition, this document describes the operation of the VLAN Select feature in different mobility scenarios and Multicast VLAN operation and configuration when used with the VLAN Select feature.
In order to configure the VLAN Select feature in Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) prior to release 7.2, refer to WLC 7.0 and Later: VLAN Select and Multicast Optimization Features Deployment Guide.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
In current WLC architecture, it is mandatory to map the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to an interface/VLAN and the default mapping is to the management interface. The limitation is that only one WLAN can be mapped to a single interface/VLAN. This limitation requires availability of a single large subnet in dense deployments, which may not be feasible for many users because of existing network design and IP subnet allocation in their network. Existing features like AP Groups and AAA override may help to some extent, but are unable to meet the complete requirement and may not be feasible in all kinds of user deployments. The same limitation also exists in guest anchor setups where guest clients in remote locations always receive an IP address from a single subnet mapped to a WLAN at an anchor location. Also, an IP address assignment to wireless guest clients is not dependent on foreign locations and all guest clients at different foreign locations will get an IP address from same subnet, which again is not feasible for many users.
Integration of VLAN Pooling or the VLAN Select feature in release 7.0.116 provided a solution to the restriction where the WLAN can be mapped to a single interface or multiple interfaces using an interface group. Wireless clients associating to this WLAN receive an IP address from a pool of subnets identified by the interfaces in a round robin fashion.
In WLC release 7.2, the VLAN Select feature (which is supported only on the newer WLCs like 5508, WiSM-2, 7500, and 2500) was modified and now supports VLAN Select with a new modified algorithm. In the previous implementation, using the round robin algorithm was causing clients to obtain new IP addresses on every re-association, thus depleting IP addresses fast from the available DHCP pools. The new algorithm is based on the Client's MAC address and operates in this way:
When a client associates to a WLAN on a controller, an index is calculated based on the MAC address of the client and the number of interfaces in the interface group using a hashing algorithm.
Based on this index, an interface is assigned to the client.
Whenever this client joins the controller, the hashing algorithm always returns the same index and the client is assigned to the same interface.
If the interface is "dirty", then a random index is generated and the interface is assigned based on that random index.
If that interface is still dirty, then a fall back to round robin implementation occurs.
Note: In order to support the new VLAN Select feature on legacy controllers (such as the 4400 Series, WiSM, and 2100 Series) with the same MAC-based algorithm, the VLAN Select feature was modified in release 7.0.230 and now operates in the same fashion as release 7.2.
This flow chart illustrates the DHCP address selection when the MAC Hashing algorithm is used in the interface/interface group configuration:
Note: With IRCM, controllers in releases prior to 7.0.116 and above cannot understand the VLAN list payload. As a result, sometimes L3 mobility occurs where L2 mobility could have occurred.
Note: If you want to downgrade from release 7.2 to a release prior to 7.0.116, make sure that all WLANs are mapped to interfaces and not interface groups, and multicast interface is disabled.
Note: The interface group returned from AAA is now a supported feature in release 7.2.
Note: Interfaces can be added to an interface group, but cannot be deleted while it is mapped to a WLAN/AP group.
Note: One VLAN or Interface can be a part of many different interface groups.
Note: If you change the number of interfaces in the interface group, then the hashing algorithm may return a different index and the client is assigned to a different interface.
Note: If the number of interfaces in an interface group remains fixed, the client will always be assigned to the same interface provided the interface is not dirty.
The VLAN Select feature also extends current AP group and AAA override architecture where AP groups and "AAA override" can override the interface or the interface group to which the WLAN is mapped. This feature also provides the solution to guest anchor restrictions, where a wireless guest user at a foreign location can now get an IP address from multiple subnets based on their foreign locations/foreign controllers from the same anchor WLC.
This flow chart indicates WLAN selection when the AP group and AAA override are configured on the controller, and the WLAN has been mapped to the interface or interface groups:
Note: Some exclusions apply for static IP clients:
If a client has a static IP configured in, for example, subnet A, and they are allotted subnet B, they will get moved to subnet A (override), before moving to the RUN state, if these conditions are met:
DHCP Required is disabled on the WLAN.
Subnet A is included in the VLAN or the AP group is configured on the WLAN.
The client sends some packet sourced with a static IP in subnet A within the DHCP_REQD interval (~ 2 min default value).
The DHCP_required interval is configurable and can have a maximum value of 120 seconds. Go to Controller > Advanced > DHCP Parameters > DHCP timeout (5-120 seconds).
If the static IP client has an IP address from a subnet that is part of the interface group which is mapped to the WLAN, then the static IP client that joins over that WLAN will move to a RUN state and can pass traffic. Otherwise, the static IP client cannot pass traffic.
In the current solution, when a client roams from one controller to another, the foreign controller sends the VLAN information as part of the mobility Announce message. Based on the VLAN information received, the anchor decides whether the tunnel should be created between the anchor and foreign controllers. If the same VLAN is available on the foreign controller, then the client context is completely deleted from the anchor controller, and the foreign controller becomes the new anchor controller for the client.
As part of the VLAN Pooling feature, the "Mobility Announce" message will carry an additional vendor payload containing the list of VLAN interfaces mapped to a WLAN. This helps the anchor controller to decide on Local > Local type of handoff. The introduction of this feature also ensures that the inter release mobility is not affected. In a guest tunneling scenario, clients joining on "export foreign" will receive an IP address from the interface group mapped to the WLAN on the "export anchor" or as per the foreign mappings configured on the "export anchor". If the clients who have joined over "export foreign" move to the "export anchor" controller, they may lose their IP address, which means mobility is not supported between those two. However, if the clients move between two "export foreign" controllers, they will retain their IP address, which means roaming is supported in that scenario.
At present, multicast is based on the grouping of the multicast address and the VLAN as one entity: mgid. The VLAN pooling feature has the potential of increasing the duplicate packets on the air. Since each client listening to the multicast stream is on a different VLAN, the WLC will create different mgids for each pair of multicast addresses and VLAN. As a result, the upstream router sends one copy for each VLAN. This results in the worst case, in as many copies as there are VLANs in the pool. Since the WLAN is still the same for all clients, multiple copies of the multicast packet are sent on the air.
The integration of the VLAN Select feature also introduces some issues in current multicast architecture where wireless clients may receive duplicate packets. The issue of receiving duplicate multicast packets was already present in current multicast architecture, but it was only visible when AAA override was configured and two clients on different subnets (one on a WLAN-mapped subnet and another on an overridden subnet) listen to the same multicast group. With the introduction of the VLAN Select feature, this problem is more obvious and easily visible on open WLAN.
The multicast VLAN method is introduced in an effort to suppress the duplication of a multicast stream on the wireless medium and between the WLC and access points (APs). This VLAN is used for multicast traffic. One of the VLANs of the WLAN is configured as a multicast VLAN on which multicast groups are registered. Configuring the multicast VLAN for the WLAN is controlled by the user. Clients are allowed to listen to a multicast stream on the multicast VLAN. The mgid is generated using mulicast VLAN and a multicast IP address. As a result, multiple clients on a VLAN pool of the same WLANs listening to a single multicast IP address will always generate a single mgid. The WLC will make sure that all multicast streams from the clients on this VLAN pool will always go out on the multicast VLAN. This ensures that the upstream router has just one entry for all the VLANs of the VLAN pool. As a result, only one multicast stream will hit the VLAN pool even if the clients are on different VLANs. Therefore, the multicast packets also sent out on the air will be just one stream.
On the network interface, the corresponding VLAN is still used for all their traffic.
This feature is supported on all Lightweight APs with 32MB or more flash space:
LAPs supported: 1130, 1140, 1240, 1250, 1260, 3500, 3600, 1260, and 1522/1524
Controllers supported: 7500, 5508, WiSM-2, and 2500
Note: Controllers will support this number of interface groups/interfaces:
WiSM-2, 5508, 7500, 2500 -- 64/64
Check that the initial code on the WLC is 7.2.103:
(Cisco Controller) >show boot Primary Boot Image............................... 7.2.103 Backup Boot Image................................ 184.108.40.206
Complete these steps:
Create a new interface group.
CLI : config interface group create <interface group name>
GUI: Go to Controller > Interface Groups > Create a new Group.
Add the interfaces to the group.
CLI: config interface group interface add <interface> <interface name>
GUI: Click the Interface Group Name.
Select the interfaces from the drop-down menu, and add it to the group.
Apply the interface group to a WLAN.
CLI : In order to configure mapping of interface/interface group to the WLAN, issue this command:
config wlan interface <wlan id> <Interface/Interface group name>
GUI: The interface groups are identified by postfix (G). Go to WLAN > General, and choose the interface group.
Note: When AAA override is not enabled on a WLAN, clients joining the WLAN receive an IP address based on the interface or interface group mapping on the WLAN.
Note: When AAA override is enabled on a WLAN, clients joining the WLAN receive an IP address based on the interface or the interface group returned by the AAA server.
Configure the AP group or AAA override of the WLAN.
Map the interface group to a foreign WLC. Configure subnet/address assignment based on foreign site/location in the guest anchor setup.
CLI: config wlan mobility foreign-map add <wlan-id> < mac address > <interface/interface group>
GUI: A new Foreign Maps option is created under the WLAN.
As part of the VLAN Select feature, the "Mobility Announce" message will carry an additional vendor payload containing the list of VLAN interfaces mapped to a WLAN. This helps the anchor to decide on Local > Local type of handoff.
When a client roams from one controller to another, the foreign controller sends the VLAN information as part of the Mobility Announce message, and, based on the VLAN information received, the anchor decides whether the tunnel should be created between the anchor and foreign controllers. If the same VLAN is available on the foreign controller, the client context is completely deleted from the anchor controller and the foreign controller becomes the new anchor controller for the client.
Note: In a Guest Tunneling scenario, roaming between export foreign and export foreign is supported. However, roaming between export foreign and export anchor is not supported with VLAN Select.
In the case of Auto Anchor:
Clients joining a foreign WLC which is exported to an anchor WLC and mapped to an interface group will receive an IP address in a round robin method inside the interface group.
Clients joining a foreign WLC which is exported to an anchor WLC and mapped to an interface only will receive an IP address from that interface only.
Clients roaming between two or more foreign controllers mapped to a single anchor WLC with an interface group configured will be able to maintain its IP address.
Note: Anchors have to be in the same Mobility Group.
Note: WLANs should be configured identically in the foreign and anchor controllers.
With interface groups, multiple VLANs are mapped to a single SSID. When the clients in different VLANs subscribe to a Multicast stream, duplicate entries are created in the WLC for a single SSID. As a result, single multiple streams may be sent multiple times over the air depending on the number of VLANs present in an interface group. In order to prevent this, an enhancement is performed where a single VLAN is selected as the representative VLAN for flow of all IGMP and multicast over the air.
CLI: config wlan multicast interface <wlan-id> enable <interface name>
Note: This configuration is allowed only when IGMP snooping is enabled.
Just like L3 Multicast optimization, L2 multicast and broadcast optimization is very important with the VLAN Select feature. Additional commands were added in release 7.0.116 and above in order to optimize L2 multicasts and broadcasts.
L2 Multicast/ Broadcast use L2 MGID in order to forward the packet to the AP. L2 Multicast/Broadcast from all the VLANs in the group will be sent on the WLAN. This causes duplication packets on AIR.
In order to limit these duplications, L2 Multicast/Broadcast enabling/disabling per interface was introduced.
CLI: Enable/Disable L2 Multicast and Broadcast for the interface:
(WLC) >config network multicast l2mcast <enable/disable> <interface-name>
Note: This command is applicable only for 5508, 2500, 7500, and WiSM-2 controllers.
Note: GUI support for enabling/disabling L2 multicast/broadcast per interface is not available in this release.

You don't need to be a social scientist to know there is a gender diversity problem in technology. The tech industry in Silicon Valley and across the nation is overwhelmingly male-dominated.
That isn't to say there aren't women working at tech firms. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook have raised the profile of women at high-tech firms. But those prominent exceptions do not accurately portray who makes up the engineering ranks at those and other tech companies.
Visit Silicon Valley and you will hear many people talk about the need to increase the number of female hackers. The conventional wisdom about why there are so few female coders usually points a finger at disparities in the talent pool, which is linked to disparities in tech education. In fact, starting as early as adolescence, girls and boys often choose different academic paths. When the time comes for young people to elect to go into engineering school, serious gender disparities become visible.
A new study by University of Texas sociologist Catherine Riegle-Crumb in the journal Social Science Quarterly offers an interesting new perspective on this divide. Along with co-author Chelsea Moore, Riegle-Crumb decided to dive into the gender divide in high school physics courses. (Even as the gender divide in some areas of science has diminished, a stubborn gap has persisted for decades in high school physics.)
Riegle-Crumb had a simple question: The national divide showed boys were more likely to take physics than girls. But was this divide constant across the country?
In an analysis of some 10,000 students at nearly 100 schools, Riegle-Crumb found that the divide was anything but constant.
"What we find is that there are many schools where boys and girls take high school physics at the same rate," Riegle-Crumb said in an interview. "And that there are many other schools where more girls actually take physics than boys. And so when you look at the aggregate, you see a pattern where boys are taking physics more than girls, but there is a lot of variation around that."
There are some obvious things that could cause those variations. If parents of some kids are scientists, or highly educated, they might push their daughters to take tough courses in high school. Wealthy families might be able to afford tutoring, or have one parent stay home to help kids with homework. Better funded suburban schools might be at an advantage over inner-city schools.
But when Riegle-Crumb controlled for those and other possibilities, she found one reason remained: "What we found is that in communities that had a higher percentage of women in the labor force who are working in science, technology, engineering and math, that in those schools, girls were as likely as boys to take physics, or even more likely."
Riegle-Crumb's finding about the importance of local role models meshes with a broad range of earlier work that shows the decision to pursue math and science is not about innate differences between boys and girls, but about social context and norms. Countries with greater gender equality, for example, reveal more equal math test scores among boys and girls.
Teenage girls growing up in communities where women are better represented in tech are more likely to see women commenting on tech issues in public forums and in school discussions — and more likely to run into a friend's astrophysicist mom at a birthday party.
By contrast, Riegle-Crumb said, girls growing up in communities where most working women are in jobs traditionally held by women such as child care or nursing might not see the possibilities that exist.
"If I am a young woman growing up in a community or culture like that, then that's what I see as, 'Well, this is what I am expected to do,' " Riegle-Crumb said. "And so it may not ever occur to me, that, 'Oh, you know, I don't actually have to do that. There's a vast array of things I could choose to do.' But if no one around me is doing those things, it's hard for me to even consider that possibility."
NPR's social science correspondent, Shankar Vedantam, just got back to Washington from a trip to Silicon Valley where he noticed, as many others have, how few women are represented among the ranks of engineers at tech companies. He's here with us now to talk about a new study that takes a fresh look at the persistent gender disparity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the so-called STEM fields. Shankar, welcome.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Hi, Linda.
WERTHEIMER: So does this research explain why we see so few women in tech?
VEDANTAM: Indirectly, Linda. A lot of people in technology want to see more female engineers but the problem, they say, is that not enough women are taking course that lead to engineering careers. In fact, if you go back even further, adolescent boys and girls often take different academic paths which leads to these disparities in career choices. We've known for decades, for example, that girls are less likely than boys to take high school physics courses.
I spoke with Catherine Riegle-Crumb. She's a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin. She recently tracked 10,000 high school students across the country because she had a hunch that this gender gap in high school physics actually masks something really important. And what she found was actually very interesting. This gender gap in physics is not a constant. It varies quite widely across the country.
In some places boys do take more physics than girls but there are many schools where it's actually girls who are more often taking physics than boys.
WERTHEIMER: So does she go on, I hope, to explain why there would be such a variation?
VEDANTAM: So she looked at a bunch of factors that might explain it. You know, income and family education could play a role. If your parents are physicists, maybe you're more likely to take physics. Or maybe you have a parent who can afford to stay home fulltime with you and that's why you take tough high school courses. So Riegle-Crumb controlled for those things. She statistically eliminated the effects of wealth and family education background.
She even controlled for the location of the school - whether it was suburban or inner city - and she found that there was one factor that predicted why girls took physics.
CATHERINE RIEGLE-CRUMB: In communities that had a higher percentage of women in the labor force who are working in science, technology, engineering and math, in those schools girls were as likely as boys to take physics or even more likely.
WERTHEIMER: So let me be sure that I understand. She says that the number of women in the community who are doing math and engineering in their work, that when those jobs go up, somehow the girls from that community take more physics?
VEDANTAM: That's exactly what she's saying, Linda. And in some ways this matches what international studies have found. Countries that have greater gender equality, for example, seem to have more equal test scores in math among boys and girls. I think what Riegle-Crumb has done is empirically demonstrate the same thing happening within the United States.
So I asked her, you know, what causes this effect? You know, high school girls don't hang out at the local tech company to see whether there are women working there or not. And she said it's subtler than that. You know, having more women in the local tech workforce changes local norms. It changes how the playing field tilts. You know, who do you see on television? You meet the mom of a friend at a birthday party and it turns out she's an astrophysicist.
Compare that to a girl growing in a part of the country where women are in traditionally female occupations like childcare or nursing.
RIEGLE-CRUMB: So if I'm a young woman growing up in a community or a culture like that, then that's what I see as, well, this is what I'm expected to do. Right? And so it may not ever occur to me that, oh, you know, I don't actually have to do that. There's a vast array of things I could choose to do. But if no one around me is doing those things, it's hard to even consider that possibility.
WERTHEIMER: So does she think, Riegle-Crumb, does she think this work could possibly have policy implications? I mean is there some you can intervene in this process?
VEDANTAM: Well, she does. You know, a lot of tech companies want to increase the representation of women among the ranks of their engineers, but the thing is that companies think the source of the problem lies in education, that girls are not taking these courses. I think what Riegle-Crumb's research shows is that this is a chicken and egg problem. Fewer girls may be taking courses that lead to tech careers when they don't see female role models already in tech careers.
WERTHEIMER: So you supply role models.
VEDANTAM: Exactly. So you know, the answer to the question of why are there so few women in tech is because there are so few women in tech.
WERTHEIMER: Thank you very much, Shankar.
VEDANTAM: Thanks, Linda.

I trust everyone saw this on the Friendly Atheist blog today...
It's a Christian reworking of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", where the new lyricist had no idea that "It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth / The minor fall, the major lift" describes the music itself.
Then again, even the U.S. national anthem borrowed its tune from the 18th-century English "Anacreontic Song", which had actually gained other sets of American patriotic lyrics.
And yes, Friendly Atheist is a great blog!

While personal matters such as family problems and living situations might cause the most stress for women, new research shows it's on-the-job issues that cause men the most anxiety.
A study by Polaris Marketing Research regarding sources of stress revealed that men were more likely to say work issues were causing them angst, while women were significantly more likely to cite financial issues, lack of time, family problems, living situation and relationship issues.
While both men and women cited watching television as their top way to relieve stress, their other unwinding tricks varied.
According to the research, women are more likely to sleep, listen to music, surf the Internet, socialize, pray, read a book, write in a journal or eat their favorite comfort foods, while men were more likely to play video games, exercise and have a drink to help relax.
"While women have more stressors in their lives, they also use more diverse ways of relieving stress," said Polaris President Jan Carlson.
Overall, the study found that women perceive themselves to be more stressed than men — but they also said their stress levels are lower than they were last year. Men, meanwhile, were more likely to rate their stress levels the same as they were one year ago.
The research was based on surveys of more than 1,200 U.S. residents.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Defense Department is proposing to share some of its radio airwaves with the private sector, a nod to growing pressure from the wireless industry and the Obama administration for federal agencies to ease their control of valuable spectrum.
In a letter released by the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday, the Department of Defense offers to share the airwaves it now dominates in the slice of frequencies from 1755 megahertz (MHz) to 1780 MHz with spectrum-hungry wireless and Internet companies.
The military would rearrange its systems within that slice of spectrum as well as the 2025-2110 MHz band and compress programs into the 1780-1850 MHz band that it would retain.
The FCC late on Tuesday also launched a proceeding to gather public comments on a variety of proposals for how the FCC should auction those federally owned or already cleared airwaves to the wireless companies, including input on the Pentagon's new proposal.
"We are committed to finding new and innovative strategies to expedite commercial access to additional spectrum," FCC Acting Chair Mignon Clyburn said in a statement. "I encourage all stakeholders to roll up their sleeves and help us to push this proceeding forward."
The Defense Department uses the airwaves for programs such as pilot training and drone systems and has faced criticism from some in the industry and in Congress for resisting efforts to open those airwaves for commercial use to satisfy growing demands posed by data-hungry gadgets and services.
The Pentagon had pointed to its own need for airwaves as its use of drones and other reliance on wireless technology grows. It also had estimated the process of moving its programs to new frequencies would cost more than $12 billion.
Under the new plan, the Defense Department drops the cost estimate to $3.5 billion by compromising on sharing slices of airwaves without completely clearing any of the spectrum bands.
In the letter, originally sent on July 17 to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which oversees federal airwaves, DOD Chief Information Officer Teresa Takai called the proposal "a workable balance to provide access to the 1755-1780 MHz band most desired by the commercial wireless industry while ensuring no loss of critical DoD capabilities."
The NTIA, in its own letter to the FCC, said it had not had enough time to review the proposal and could not yet endorse it.
The FCC, with NTIA's help, is preparing for several auctions of airwaves to take place in coming years, including one that would sell off chunks of federally controlled spectrum. They will be the first reshuffling of airwave ownership since 2008.
Congress has required the FCC to auction off the 2155-2180 MHz band by February 2015 and the industry has sought to pair up that slice of spectrum with the valuable 1755-1780 MHz band, arguing it would collect more money. Lawmakers in the House of Representatives have introduced a bill to ensure such pairing.
President Barack Obama last month directed federal agencies to look for ways eventually to give up or share more of their airwaves with the private sector. This followed his June 2010 call to open up 500 MHz of federal spectrum for commercial use.
Although the Defense Department's move marks the first big concession by the military for upcoming auctions, the proposal leaves a number of questions unaddressed, including how long the military's programs would remain in the current bands and how the plan may complicate future attempts to clear the spectrum now used by the government.
Defense Department's spokesman Damien Pickart said the review of various options made it clear to the DOD that no one approach would resolve all of the complex concerns in reallocating spectrum and all the stakeholders would have to work out the best solution collectively.
"We remain committed to work cooperatively on a balanced approach that protects mission-critical military operations while making spectrum available for broadband use to keep our economy in a leadership position," Pickart said.
"While there are many details that need to be resolved, this is a significant breakthrough toward meeting the goal of licensing this spectrum, paired with 2155-2180 MHz, by February 2015," said Steve Sharkey, director of government affairs for technology and engineering policy at T-Mobile USA.

[recipe here]
This week's TWD recipe, chosen by Ulrike of Küchenlatein, is a classic: blissfully simple and delicious. It's a really good thing I got most of these out of the apartment, because I was a fiend for both the cookies and the cookie dough! Although the recipe is very simple, I know a lot of the TWD'ers are probably going to go all-out for the holidays, so I attempted to follow suit!
The ingredient list was just butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt and vanilla. As Dorie said, the dough ended up being very soft before its two-hour chill. (Seriously, I'm getting sick of all of this waiting! :-p)
After it firmed up in the fridge, I rolled it out and cut it with some cute and tiny holiday cutters my sister-in-law gave me (the same one who will only eat canned cranberry sauce... ;) I think this absolves her).
I also used some larger cutters to get a few big cookies, because sometimes I just have to throw portion control out the window. :-p
For decoration, I dug some red, green and silver colored sugar out of the depths of the cupboard to sprinkle on top.
The cookies spread out in the oven more than I expected, but luckily, they were still cute :)
They were so delicious! After they cooled, they had a crispy outside with a slightly chewy interior. I like chewy cookies, so I actually liked them better on the second day, when the whole cookie got a bit chewier. Many thanks to Ulrike for choosing this simple and versatile recipe! Now go check out all of the lovely cookies on the other TWD blogs :)

Dr. Theresa Towner Named Teacher of the Year
Chancellor's Council Award Includes $5,000 Prize
RICHARDSON, Texas (April 15, 2002) - Dr. Theresa M. Towner, an
assistant professor
The award, which is provided each year by The University of Texas System Chancellor's Council to recognize excellence in teaching at each of the system's nine general academic institutions, is accompanied by a $5,000 prize and will be presented to Towner May 17 at an Honors Convocation in the Conference Center on campus. Towner also will speak at the convocation.
UTD President Dr. Franklyn G. Jenifer said Dr. Towner, who joined UTD as an adjunct lecturer in 1994, was selected from nearly 60 UTD teachers nominated by students for the honor, which is formally called the Chancellor's Council Outstanding Teaching Award.
"Dr. Towner has a reputation as an inspiring and passionate teacher who loves her work and makes her students work hard," Dr. Jenifer said. "She embodies that rare combination of scholar and teacher. We are fortunate to have her here at U.T. Dallas."
Towner was nominated as UTD's "Teacher of the Year" for her teaching of the class Exploration of the Humanities, a course with about 150 students. One student who nominated Towner wrote, "I never missed this class because I was always anxious to hear what she might say next." Another said, "She is captivating and energetic and always makes things interesting." A third said, "I aspire to be a teacher like her." And a fourth wrote simply, "Towner rocks!"
Towner has published extensively and is the author of the book Faulkner On the Color Line: The Later Novels. She also has taught at the University of Virginia and Texas Woman's University, and she served as Arts & Humanities college master from 1998 through 2001. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia and holds a Master of Arts degree from the University of Exeter in England. She did her undergraduate work at the University of Kansas.
The honoree said she was "deeply moved" to have been selected for the teaching award, "especially at a university that expects excellence in teaching."
"Teachers of literature spend all their time with great language," she said. "I'm still looking for the right words to express just how it feels to receive this honor from my students and colleagues. So far, I have the two most important ones: Thank you."

You've come a long way, baby. But maybe not long enough, according to Dr Rajiv Tandon, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Florida College of Medicine and Chief of Psychiatric Services for North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System. Dr Tandon shared the evolution of schizophrenia diagnosis and highlighted the current status for attendees at the US Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress in Las Vegas.
Although the disease has been "recognized" for more than 100 years, we have only made a series of baby steps in understanding the etiology, pathology, and treatment of the disease, he said. Psychiatry has moved from very broad definitions, as was found in the DSM II, to extremely narrow definitions, as psychiatry created DSM III in reaction to DSM II. In the 1950s, the idea that "bad mothering" may cause schizophrenia became popular in response to Freud's influences. With each new revision of the DSM, psychiatry committed to a bit more details in its etiology and pathology.
Starting in the 1980s, for instance, science recognized that genetics played an important role in schizophrenia, but nothing was known about the mode of transmission. In the 1990s, we learned genetics coupled with environment played a role in its etiology. Now, Tandon explained, we know that genetic factors are 60% to 80% liable for the disease. However, science still cannot point to a single or group of major genes responsible for such. On the other hand, he noted, research also demonstrated that some genes may have protective effects for developing schizophrenia. So while understanding of the genetic component has increased, there are still many unanswered questions.
Our understanding of the environmental factors associated with schizophrenia has also increased, Tandon said.1 The mother role comes up again, but instead of associating schizophrenia with mothers' over adulation, now we know the concern is with second trimester insults and obstetric complications. Urbanization, migration (especially to a place where the person is very different from the new population), cannabis use (especially in youth), advanced paternal age, childhood abuse/trauma, and social marginalization also have been linked to increased schizophrenia risk.
Nonetheless, the exact neurobiological pathway to pathogenesis and how the various genetic and environmental factors interact still eludes psychiatry, Tandon said.
We've also seen advances in the understanding of pathophysiology. In the 1980s, it was understood that there was too much dopamine somewhere in the brain, Tandon explained. Those advances were a result of CT scans showing smaller brains and larger ventricular regions in patients with schizophrenia. By the 1990s, it became evident that too much dopamine in the mesolimbic circuit causes positive symptoms and too little dopamine in mesocortical circuit combined with ventricular enlargement caused the negative symptoms.
