All is in the title. After more than one year to study, I pass today CCIE R&S Written v4 :)

I have taken care of it to make some patches against nsh to compile against 5.5 :

• patch-if_var.sh.diff
• patch-tcpstat.diff

Dear readers,

It is not usual to have a cook blog post here. I am not aware of cooking things, but to please my daughter I test this one and it was a success.

Sorry for english readers, it will be a french article today.

Cet article n’est juste que ma réflexion et n’engage que moi. Ceci n’est peut-être pas votre vision. Si mes arguments ne sont pas fondés, je suis ouvert à la discussion.

Dans le feuilleton du mois de Mars qu’est le rachat de SFR, où les protagonistes sont Bouygues Telecom et Altice/Numericable, l’état en la représentation par M. MONTEBOURG se positionne et participe au choix économique. Je trouve que l’état va au devant d’une catastrophe ou de catastrophes.

Cisco has released recently lot of materials to be friend with their new technologies. You can know learn more about IOS XE with Cisco CSR1000v  (it is a virtual router based on Cisco IOS XE code) and more recently (02/07/14) you can download Cisco IOS XRv 5.1. You can download it as a demo version (2M of bandwidth, AAA preconfigured, … : some restrictions). It is a virtual machine that you can import in VMware ESX VM.

When I talk with some of my family which are much younger and talk about Green Day : they talk to you about “American Idiot”. For me, it is my 11h, 12th grade and Dookie breaks out. It is on this album “Basket case” was :) It is on this kind of thing you become older.

For fun :

Great part of my life!

Tested for real and it is really working. It is really simple.

It is this time my son found funny and to say his first word : “Daddy!” I am really proud of it.

FreeBSD is out in his 10.0R version :)

• http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/announce.html
• http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/relnotes.html
• ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/10.0

I am really pleased to see BSD releases :)

It is been a while I check forums and Ubiquiti products. They are really good products. At the beginning the really interesting thing in ubiquiti was the Open minded / Open Source direction they used. I begun to use their product with SR and XR card (when they don’t seek any final products). It was really easy to make your own product firmware with an embedded MIPS motherboard and their cards. The SDK was available at this time.

It is finally out !

The v5.0 of the CCIE exam is here. There are lot of exciting new features to learn :) It will be great. In a first lecture, you can see these new things :
