On this subject, has anyone here tried oxidized yet?

Months behind, but I'm in the process of switching from RANCID to Oxidized, and it's great. There's a few features that are missing here and there (for example, no authentication to the web site) but the code is SO SO SO much more readable than RANCID which has made it easy to make changes and get things working right.

Hmm that is very interesting and good to hear! I've had to make a few custom RANCID parsers and it's a complete loving mystery how they work. I basically go into a fugue state and come out with functional code but no conception of how I got there.

Alternatively, pretend I just posted "perl.txt"

e: autocorrect :argh:

Has anyone ever had the need to send VxLAN over the Internet? We need a very temporary solution to get some layer 2 data to a new datacenter. I proposed a mGRE tunnel and push VxLAN over it but it was one of those things that I thought would work in theory but haven't actually deployed it.

Edit: Nevermind, coworker said it would work but it will have massive headers which they are ok with

The problem is always MTU and the fragmentation that will occur - it may cause weird issues (eg: reassembly cpu usage/etc).

It's punishing you for using the ASDM. If you are total newb use the thing to generate the commands and then connect to it via ssh/console and put them in so you can see what it is actually doing.

ASDM is kind of poo poo for a lot of things. I do use it for live logging and manipulating access lists but for most things besides that it likes to do bullshit like what you are seeing and break your stuff.

I think it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. I've been using it for a long time now to create/edit firewall rules and so forth.

Ok.

I went into the CLI, and I (think I) configured the WAN interface (1/1) to use DHCP, and the LAN interface (1/2) to be 10.71.1.1. It won't let me set the IP for Management 1/1 onm the same subnet as the LAN, even though the quisktart guide that came with the thing says it should.

That must have been what was erroring with ADSM also, because that's the only command that gave me a problem.

If you are not doing out of band management w/ the management int you can just use the normal LAN interface for management traffic. If you are using the firepower module it will use the management interface and can be on the same subnet but you have to actually configure that from within the sfr module.

Just put in:

code:

management-access LAN (or whatever you called it)
ssh <host or network you want to let things ssh to it from> LAN
http <host or network you want to let things access ASDM from> LAN

Assuming you already have a user/pass and the basic auth setup it should work.

Any microtik fanboys in here?

We have issues with our ASA. When we manually clear phase 1 of a VPN to a microtik, the ASA side establishes a new phase1/phase2 but the microtik side doesn't. It still sees the old SA as active until it's manually cleared. The ASA carries other VPN's and re-establishes when cleared no problem.

Is there a better thread for UCS questions?

Anyway, I am looking to take a current UCS deployment (4 chassis, 2 FI) and break it into two (2 chassis + 2 FI per cluster, bought 2 new FI).

My concern is that when I move the 2 chassis and hook them up to the new FI, the servers will get wiped or be messed up. My understanding is that as long as I:

-disassociate the service profiles from the servers on the existing FI
-move the chassis + blades
-associate the new service profile with "nowipe" option

That the servers shouldn't get wiped? Has anyone done this before? Any gotchas?

# ? Feb 28, 2017 19:29

1000101: May 14, 2003; BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY FRUITCAKE!

You're probably going to want to make sure you create the MAC pools/WWN pools/UUID pools and make sure when you move the blades to the new FI that the numbers match up. i.e. if you move blade10 to a new set of FIs then you need to make sure it comes up with the same MACs/WWNs, etc or you could have odd behavior like network interfaces getting renumbered (i.e. eth0 is now eth5 or something.)

The 'no scrub' option is definitely something you want but the other stuff I mentioned is just as important.

I originally took a photo of it and texted it to some Cisco friends. Then, days later, when they hadn't come up with an answer, I was pointed to this thread. But I didn't have my laptop hooked up to it anymore, so this was the easiest way to get the message here.

They just bought Zebra Enterprise Wireless (which was previously part of Zebra's purchase of the Motorola Enterprise division) back at the end of Oct 2016.

As long as they integrate the acquisitions in a way that HP are terrible at doing then I don't see a problem. Avaya stuff is mostly poo poo but people seemed to think there were some decent ideas floating around in the networking part of it, like their Fabric Connect platform.

The switching had been solid in the past, and the ERS 5500 stuff was great. Not sure they have really advanced much from there, though.

? Extreme's wireless stuff is solid. Works well, the wave 2 radios are giving us solid performance. We've got about 60 APs deployed right now covering 125k sq ft and it's been better than our older Cisco deployment and way better than the shitshow that the Fortinet wifi was.

The Zebra purchase was about getting a foothold in industrial wireless.

I worded that badly. I was trying to joke that Zebra's wireless is a garbage fire at the acquisition. We've been using them (Symbol, then Motorola, then Zebra) forever. They used to be solid, but with each sell off they've lost so much of the engineering and knowledge their new products are bad and the support is equally bad. A decade of under investment and now falling behind.

If anything Extreme can revive it.

Yeah, Zebra was absolutely not interested in the infrastructure products when they purchased the Enterprise division of Motorola. They wanted the handheld scanning and inventory systems and the supply line logistics stuff. They just let the wireless networking stuff whither through neglect and finally found a buyer in Extreme.

Personally, I like the WiNG 5 stuff, but it has stagnated over the last few years. Here's to hoping Extreme can breath life back in.

I've been using an ERS 5530 (Second hand from auction) in my home network for ages until I replaced it with a Catalyst 2960CX. Solid switch but holy gently caress initial setup can be excruciating if you don't have the right serial cable and JDM is very bad. Still not a bad switch, here it is in my bin shed where it still remains to this day last I checked:
