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
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
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;
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
So i had an issue with BGP where it wouldn’t establish a neighbor relationship. I ran the usual ‘debug ip bgp’ but it only showed ‘connection timed out’ Here is a sample debug output of one of the neighbour setup attempts; 198.51.100.12 active went from Idle to Active 198.51.100.12 open active, local address 198.51.100.13

Ok.. so learnt something new today.. (every days a school day!) Depending on your device and code, you should have the following command available to you… config terminal revert time x What this effectively does is save the running configuration to a backup file on the local flash and will revert to this config after
