Display CCNA curriculums locally

Once if we are allowed download zipped version of ccna curriculum (for example as an netacad instructor) we should be able run them locally without web server need. However there is a problem to display these curriculums by default as it contain embeded flash animation. This problem persists in different browsers (firefox, chrome, epiphany) for example.

How to kill ESET AV process

Eset AV sometimes prevents to run and install some applications, for example microtorrent client or virtualbox extension pack. If the AV pausing does not help, there is an option to kill the AV process using a standard way (using the task manager).

Keeping PuTTY telnet session alive

Working with my HP Terminal server, which we are using as a remote console acccess solution allows us login into Cisco router console ports remotely, i'm loosing the Putty connection due to inactivity. However the PuTTY client can be configured to maintain a connection and not time it out.

Enabling traceroute on Cisco ASA

There are three steps to enable traceroute:

  1. In policy map “global_policy” in class “inspection_default” you need to add “inspect icmp” and “inspect icmp error”
  2. In policy map “global_policy” in class “class_default” you need to add “set connection decrement-ttl”
  3. On your oudside interface, you need add access list, that permits ICMP with “time-exceeded” on ingress direction

There is code, that you can paste in your ASA firewall:

policy-map global_policy
  class inspection_default
    inspect icmp
    inspect icmp error
    exit
  class class-default
    set connection decrement-ttl
    exit
  exit
access-list OUTSIDE-IN extended permit icmp any any time-exceeded

 

Linux Mint – Mouting a FreeNAS iSCSI disk

I'm trying to solve a problem of network backuping on our FreeNAS server. I've already tried CIFS (where were some issues - Linux Mint - problem to access a FreeNAS CIFS share) however I have there a performance issue, especially working with huge number of files produced by the backup proces (deja-dup backup over the net). As the second alternative I'm going to try iSCSI to map a network disk/file from a freenas server.
