Cisco Live 2013 Melbourne

I had the great privilege of attending Cisco Live 2013 at Melbourne this year, and it was a great event. It had many breakout sessions of upcoming technologies and releases as well as technical sessions, labs, certifications etc and of course the Cisco Party 🙂 I have included some photos of the event which I have taken, and have also included on my website the content which was covered at the event.

Show Configuration on Juniper simplistic view

On Juniper devices usually you issue  “show configuration” which displays the configuration file how the device is configured as per below:

root@alcatron-switch> show configuration
## Last commit: 2013-01-11 14:14:58 UTC by root
version 11.4R1.6;
system {
    host-name alcatron-switch;
    root-authentication {
        encrypted-password “$1$GJroMRrQ$.UkiU”; ## SECRET-DATA
    }
    services;
    syslog {
        user * {
            any emergency;
        }
        file messages {
            any notice;
            authorization info;
        }
        file interactive-commands {
            interactive-commands any;
        }
    }
}

This is completely different compared to the cisco equivalent, to make things easier in a simplistic view similar to cisco simply issue “show configuration | display set” and voila everything is set out much neater and easy to copy and paste.

root@alcatron-switch> show configuration | display set
set version 11.4R1.6
set system host-name alcatron-switch
set system root-authentication encrypted-password “$1$GJroMRrQ$.UkiU”
set system services
set system syslog user * any emergency
set system syslog file messages any notice
set system syslog file messages authorization info
set system syslog file interactive-commands interactive-commands any

CactiEZ v0.7

It appears CactiEZ v0.7 is released, as i’ve been doing some research online. CactiEZ v0.7 is the new update. This update includes as per the website:

  • OS is CentOS 6 x64 (there is no 32bit version)
  • Now prompts for a few key items during the installation such as Network info, timezone, and password
  • More secure out of the box than the previous builds (some linux hardening, randomized mysql passwords, etc…)
  • PHP Timezone is automatically configured for the timezone entered during install
  • Cacti and all plugins are now installed via RPMs from my custom repository for easy updating of Cacti
  • Switched to RSyslog instead of Syslog-ng
  • NTop removed
  • Now includes a custom setup plugin that walks you through setting up your Cacti server (plugin installs, templates, etc…)
  • Custom jquery based theme donated by an anonymous source (Thanks!)
  • No upgrade path from CactiEZ v0.6 provided

I have mirrored CactiEZ v0.7 on my website for your pleasure and it can be downloaded from the downloads section or simply by clicking here.

The official website is http://cactiez.cactiusers.org
