Further to my last post some time ago about how to automate your INE lab config deployment I thought I’d share my updated method. This tutorial is based on INE’s CCIE v5 lab topology using CSR routers; I’ve further optimised my method to use telnet as I found configuring via the console was a little
Note: Big Sur – this method no longer works – instead, head over to the eve-ng download page (link) scroll to the bottom and download the ‘Apple OSX Client Side’ package – it bundles in iTerm and works great! Since Apple has removed the telnet and ftp programs from their latest operating system, you may
Deploying the OVA for Cisco ISE (or any Cisco product) using vCenter can sometimes cause issues. The best way I’ve ive found is to extract the OVA using 7zip or WinRAR and deploy the extracted OVF using VMware’s cli based OVF tool. You can do this from MacOS X, Windows or Linux Once unzipped, bring up
As an avid user of Sublime Text (absolutely love it!) the fact it doesnt auto-assign a file extension for plain text annoys me! This is mostly because on a Mac all files without a file extension will not preview properly when your navigating the finder. So to ensure all your sublime text (plain text) files
Previously I posted about how to do a packet capture on a Cisco ASR1000 platform, here I show you how to do a Cisco IOS Packet Capture which is possible on IOS based router’s for example a Cisco ISR 1921. First we need to specify the traffic we are interested in seeing in an ACL;
When you attempt to run the new Checkpoint R80.10 image in EVE-NG you may get the error – Cant find the network Interface – as shown below, The reason for this error is likely because you have a DHCP server running on the same subnet which has assigned the IP address. In order to fix
If you have mistakingly configured the wrong timezone in Cisco ACS during the build, and are concerned about changing the timezone in a production environment – you should be! I attempted this on ACS 5.8, only to spend a few hours restoring the server. My second attempt however, after conversing with TAC, went a lot
This post explains the multiple options for addressing your IPv6 endpoints including SLAAC, DHCPv6 and DHCP relay to a Microsoft Windows Based DHCP Server For a simple deployment you might be used to using the router or switch as a local DHCP server, in v4 this was rather simple as per the example configuration below;
Running packet capture on a router is, in my opinion, one of the best features Cisco provide. Most Cisco router platforms have the facility to run a packet capture on the box and here I demonstrate how to carry one out on any ASR1k platform such as the ASR1001, ASR1002, ASR1002x etc. First, we should
Whilst Cisco’s type 7 passwords are incredibly easy to decrypt (PacketLife Tools is my goto), Type 5 passwords are currently not reversible… that does not however mean they are not susceptible to brute force attacks. Whilst its reasonably impractical to brute force a router’s login due to the amount of time it would take for
