Ask Uncle Eman...

Throughout the course of my day, I get asked a few times about CCIE number associations. Some are simple others are more complicated, but only from the stand point of the CCIE. It’s really simple. You own your number but you associate it with a company to enhance their VAR status with Cisco. Any other company except for Cisco does not need your number. But when you have moved about a bit it might become more of an issue. You need to become familiar with the tool provided by Cisco to manage your number and other professional and certification details. But first to the question at hand;

Risk Management

I got this idea a long time ago from a storybook I read to each of my children, when they were younger. You see, I worry over each of them, and I try to protect them from all the things they might be Injured or threatened by. I am aware that not all suffering is physical, so I try to make sure...

Converting Devices From Static IP Addressing
I'm working with a customer who has a large number of devices that are configured with static IP addresses and are not in their local DNS or WINS. Some of the devices are printers, so the local PCs are configured to access the printers via static IP address assignments. The printer VLANs are very large, spanning large buildings or between buildings. Spanning tree loops are occasionally created ("please clean up that dangling cable - just plug the connector into that empty wall jack"). To reduce the size of the spanning tree domains, we need to split the existing subnet into smaller subnets. This means...

Migrating to Nexus 7000 from Catalyst 6500 and 4500 Switches as of NX-OS 6.0
I decided to refresh my earlier article on Migrating to Nexus 7000 from Catalyst 6500 and 4500 Switches with some 5.x/6.0 updates. The current set of NX-OS 5.x/6.0 CLI commands in are pretty similar to the 12.2 IOS CLI on Catalyst 4500 and 6500s. I've also added some additional commands that I felt may be useful, such as the BGP commands.

Introduction to Social Engineering Attacks:
In the world of social networking, I have been blessed by making a lot of friends, and some of them are not CCIEs! Fadi (16 years old) as I know him on Facebook, is one of that new phenomenon of young hackers that are crawling all over the internet like industrious ants. These youngsters, as a force leave no stone unturned. Really they don’t ignore an opportunity for one-upmanship. So I asked my friend Fadi who goes by the handle of “G0dfather”, to share some insight into social engineering attacks.

Damn it Jim, I’m a CCIE doctor not a …1st/2nd/Level Support Engineer
What is a Cisco Certified Internet Expert (CCIE)? It’s a question I ask myself now and again. I mean I know what a CCIE is but what do we really do job wise? What is the true function of a CCIE in today’s fast track networking world.

A Gryffindor I surely am...
GRYFFINDOR!!! A Gryffindor I surely am, Eman! Now – let me tell you how I got here, and what is infinitely more important – where I am headed!!! I have always had a passion for IT. Always. I still marvel at how far we have come as a society from humble beginnings inventing the original wheel, and then all the way to the composite algorithms utilized by our favorite routing protocols. To this day, I am still dumbfounded by the fact...
