Here is an interesting fact for those looking at buying a new Cisco switch. In the past, you had to pay for a Crypto image which supported features such as SSH. Today, you buy the switch in its default config and request the crypto image from your supplier for free. Im not sure if this applies to older switches but it might be worth a shot trying Alas poor Telnet, I knew him…..well Cisco have put their Video Data Sheet for the new 5580 Firewall up on their site. Watch it Here Keep checking back. I hope to have a Cisco MARS review on here within the week. For those interest, MARS is a groundbreaking product aimed at helping network Administrators make use of the multitude of logs they have stored around the place. This one certainly caught my eye. It looks like something from Star Wars and has the performance to match! It can support upto 512 10 Gigabit interfaces which in laymans terms can only be described as a metric assload. Hi All, I guess you could say we are a little late to the party with this one but things have been quite hectic! Im sure some people will not have seen that Cisco have added a new top of the range Firewall to their lineup. A question that I see asked a lot is how to stop users from accessing IM applications such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Aol. It just so happens that from IOS 12.4(4)T firewall release features have been introduced to INSPECT for and control this type of traffic specifically for these three applications. If you are fairly new to Cisco Routers, getting them up and running can be a sizable challenge. The problem is that getting the basic functionality out of a Cisco Router is only the beginning; you now need to secure it. Sure, you can find yourself some confusing manuals at various tech sites, but what does it all mean? Can’t tell your proxy arp from your elbow? Hopefully this article will help. Locking down and identifying potential router vulnerabilities these days is a fairly simple task thanks to new features such as ‘one click lockdown’ and ‘security audits’ which can be performed straight from the SDM/GUI. Using these tools you can easily secure the router with the tick of a ‘fix it’ checkbox, I would like to bring another feature into the general public domain which I think is a great addition to the above and is available with IOS version 12.4(6)T and above. For small businesses, using an external user database such as Cisco ACS is not always feasible. Fortunately, Cisco ASA software includes the ability to use a local user database for authenticating administrators and remote access users. We have another addition to the Cisco 2800 series image gallery, and below is a few details about the Cisco 2801: The device itself will take up 1U (1.75 inches) of rack space and is modular with all its ports displayed on the front of the unit. This router is aimed at the SMB (Small to medium Business) market. |
