Find Ethernet Connection Speed

Type the following command to get speed for eth0:

$ ethtool eth0 | less

OR

$ ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed

You can also use the following two commands:

$ dmesg | grep eth0 | grep up
$ dmesg | grep bond0 | grep up

OR use the command line utility called mii-tool to checks or sets the status of a network interface’s Media Independent Interface (MII) unit:

Installing Let’s Encrypt on a Zimbra Server

Let’s Encrypt must be installed on one Linux machine to obtain the proper SSL Certificate, CA Intermediate, and Private Key. It is not required that it be on the same Zimbra Server, but it could save time and help to obtain the renewals, etc.

First Step is to stop the jetty or nginx service at Zimbra level

zmproxyctl stop
zmmailboxdctl stop

Second step is to Install git on the Server (apt-get install git/yum install git), and then do a git clone of the project on the folder we wantNote: On RedHat/CentOS 6 you will need to enable the EPEL repository before install.

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt

Let’s now run Let’s Encrypt in auto mode and use the certonly option, because for now the project can’t automatically install the cert on Zimbra servers.

root@zimbra86:~/tmp/letsencrypt# ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone

If you need to have multiple hostnames on the same SSL, so a Multi-SAN, SSL, please run instead, where -d are your domains:

root@zimbra86:~/tmp/letsencrypt# ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone -d xmpp.example.com -d conference.example.com

Best free bandwidth monitoring software and tools to analyze network traffic usage

To keep an eye on the health of your network and diagnose problems that crop up, an essential activity is monitoring your bandwidth and knowing which traffic is consuming it.

Your ISP promises to provide you with a reliable pipe to the Internet of a certain volume; your chosen network hardware install is designed to provide a particular level of service within your facility. Are you getting your expected bandwidth and availability, or is something failing to deliver? Is there unexpected traffic consuming the bandwidth that you are getting?

Tools to monitor bandwidth can leverage various traffic-monitoring technologies. A host can observe all the packets passing by a particular network interface (that is, packet capture). Most managed network devices – and hosts – support SNMP, and so they can be queried to get performance statistics. If your network devices support a traffic monitoring protocol like NetFlow or sFlow, they can publish traffic data to your monitoring tool.

Which bandwidth monitoring tooling is right for you? There are several considerations. One factor is what monitoring technologies your installed hardware supports (eg, do they support SNMP? NetFlow? sFlow?). One is the size and complexity of your network; a simple tool that’s a great fit for a small office is completely inadequate for a large sophisticated network. Here we’ll look at the most popular and feature-rich free bandwidth monitoring tools.

Here’s a list of the best free bandwidth monitoring tools:

  • SolarWinds Real-Time Bandwidth Monitor
  • WhatsUpGold
  • SoftPerfect NetWorx
  • Manage Engine Bandwidth Monitor
  • PRTG
  • ntopng

Zimbra send http traffic to https or keeping both in mix

HTTP proxy can support protocol modes for HTTP or HTTPS only, both HTTP and HTTPS, mixed HTTP and HTTPS or HTTPS redirect from HTTP. Redirect is a popular configuration. This configuration must be made to the proxy servers.

HTTPS redirect from HTTP

zmprov ms proxy.server.name zimbraReverseProxyMailMode redirect

HTTP and HTTPS (support both)

zmprov ms proxy.server.name zimbraReverseProxyMailMode both

HTTPS only

zmprov ms proxy.server.name zimbraReverseProxyMailMode https

HTTP only

zmprov ms proxy.server.name zimbraReverseProxyMailMode http

“mixed” will cause only authentication to be sent over HTTPS

Increase mail attachment in Zimbra 8.8

Postfix configuration (zimbraMtaMaxMessageSize and message_size_limit)

You can examine the current value of this parameter like this:

# su - zimbra
$ postconf message_size_limit
message_size_limit = 10240000

This configuration parameter is stored in the zimbra ldap directory, and propagated to postconf’s message_size_limit by zmmtaconfig, which is invoked by the zimbra postfix command. The following commands will set the message_size_limit to 2MB (adjust this value to suit your needs):

# su - zimbra
$ zmprov modifyConfig zimbraMtaMaxMessageSize 2048000
$ postfix reload

You can then confirm the changes with this command:

$ postconf | grep message_size_limit
