FreeRadius and same multiple attribute

Hello,

I don’t know if you already have had to reply with multiple same type of attributes (with FreeRadius) such as multiple : “Frame-Route”.

You can do this with the operator ‘+=’ (when you use FreeRadius with MySQL backend).

How to upgrade Brocade Ironware

Hi guys,

If like me, you begin in Brocade world and must quickly upgrade a Brocade device such as a CER2000, you can find here some (stupid) tips.

You must upgrade this device in two parts :

  • Upgrade your PBIF (FGPA)

ASN 4 bytes : How to calculate and configure it ...

To begin : How to calculate the ASN 4 bytes we need to configure it ?

So : ASN-decimal = 197632.

197632 % 65536 = 3

And

197632 - (65536 * 3) = 1024

Ok. Now we can configure it on a Cisco router :

router bgp XXXX
nei 197.66.55.33 remote-as 3.1024

I let you go on the configuration as always it works.

How to build a mirror port on Brocade devices ?!

I have had to use this feature on Brocade hardware stuff. I know how to do this on Cisco devices, but it is the first time I must do on Brocade switches to sniff trafic.

To do this :

FCX(config)# mirror-port ethernet 1/2/4
FCX(config)#interface ethernet 1/2/11
FCX(config-if-e1000-11)# monitor ethernet 1/2/4 both

Hope this tip can help :)

'netcat' : my best friend :)

For those of you who read this unpretentious blog, you must have noticed this week-end a maintenance window.

The DD of my hosting has crashed. To be more precise, it is crashing. His time to live is near to expire…

So to save my files on this server, a simple tar and scp is not enough. In fact, if you do this, you will create inodes and store on your FS. You will have lot of chance to have corrupted tarballs.

It's not enough to say it, do it.

Ok. If you have read my last post, you could say : “Ok, but when do you begin for real ?!”

I have beginning by working on a study plan. When the ennemy is hard as can be CCIE, you must have a plan to beat it. This is what I have now. I think I will update it during the journey toward my objective, but I think it is a right roadmap. For me, it is a TODO List and something which remind/force me to go on…

New start in CCIE studying...

After a long period withouy working on my CCIE study, I will now plan and work hard toward this objective. I will try to explain, write about my journey toward CCIE Routing and Switching written exam.

Be prepared to read new content about Cisco, CCIE and telco here.

Best regards, Christophe
