Those of you who know me in real life are probably quite aware of just how much of a dislike I have for sales and marketing people. That’s why whenever they make themselves look like idiots, I like to acknowledge it and recognize them for it. Besides, marketing folks tend to believe that any publicity [...]

Recently, while upgrading a Cisco ASA that belongs to a customer and hasn’t been touched in a long time, the following took place: ciscoasa# copy tftp flash Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.42 Source filename []? asa842-k8.bin Destination filename [asa842-k8.bin]? Accessing tftp://10.10.10.42/asa842-k8.bin...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fortunately, just like upgrading IOS on a Cisco router, it’s an easy, straightforward process that you can knock out in a few minutes. In this walkthrough, we’ll be upgrading the the ASA software [...]

I’ve been very fortunate to have been asked not once, but twice, to attend Net Field Day. As you probably already know, these are awesome events that bring together vendors with a handful of end users (who just happen to be bloggers). Over the weekend, I heard from “the man” Stephen Foskett, who asked if [...]

The different licensing “levels” available on the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances allow an organization to buy only what they need while retaining the option to upgrade in the future, if necessary. For example, a small business with 15 employees may start out with a Cisco ASA 5505 with a 25-user (or, more correctly, 25-host) license.

A few weeks ago, Sreeram Krishnamachari, Global Product Line Manager at HP Networking, authored a post on the HP Networking blog entitled “Say goodbye to firmware licenses in wired network switch products”. In that article, HP has acknowledged, finally, that firmware licenses — in addition to easily adding tens of thousands of dollars

If you’ve been reading Evil Routers for a while, you already know that, back in May, I quit my job. The idea was that, after I took care of some things here, I’d eventually move to the west coast. Basically, that never happened. I got lazy over the summer and did absolutely nothing that I [...]

NOTE: For clarification, I did not write the IOU License Generator discussed in this article. It was written by someone else; I simply wrote this article about it.

I had the opportunity to visit with some of the Gigamon folks at their Milpitas, California, office last week as part of the Net Field Day 2 event and, frankly, what they showed us scared the shit out of me. Gigamon has a variety of products in their line-up. At the most basic is the [...]

As a network engineer, systems administrator, or just a general IT guy (or girl), you probably don’t think of yourself as a “brand”. You probably just think of yourself as an average person who happens to have a fairly marketable skill. Each of us, however, are our own unique “brand” and blogging can help you [...]
