Reading Time: < 1 minuteNeil Anderson, from Flackbox, has build an amazing free Cisco CCNA Lab Guide recently which can be used to pass the CCNA exam or as a configuration reference for Cisco routers and switches. There’s a few free guides online but they all cover old out of date exam topics and aren’t great quality, but this is guide really complete (350+ pages), up to date, with good quality and simple, which people can use completely for free.

Reading Time: 3 minutesJust some months ago Broadcom has announced a definitive agreement under which it will acquire Brocade merging networking with storage competency to build stronger company. Due to competitive overlaps, Broadcom plans to divest the IP Networking business. Brocade’s intention was to assist Broadcom in finding a buyer that will continue to invest in the strong portfolio that Brocade created. Now Broadcom and Extreme announced that they have reached a definitive agreement for the purchase of Brocade’s Switching, Routing & Analytics (SRA) business unit, including the VDX, MLX, SLX platform family, Brocade Workflow Composer, and Network Visibility & […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAs promised in the last VMworld, now VMware has introduced two new less-expensive versions of its NSX product targeted for the mid-enterprise. Also on NSX there are now different editions with different prices and, of course, features. The full version will be the Enterprise one (sigh… on vSphere Enterprise has gone, wasn’t better call it Enterprise Plus), the intermediate Advanced and the starter just Standard. No Essential or Essential Plus, but will be difficult and non sense (yet) apply this kind of technology to the small business.
Reading Time: 4 minutesA partire da vSphere 5, VMware raccomanda di usare come network virtual adapter la scheda di rete virtuale vmxnet3, ovviamente partendo da un virtual hardware almeno v7 e solo con sistemi operativi recenti, in pratica da Windows NT 6.0 (Vista o Windows Server 2008) e le varie distribuzioni Linux che includano già il driver della vmxnet3 all’interno del loro kernel. Tipicamente per questi sistemi operativi la scelta è tra e1000 o vmxnet3: il wizard di creazione di una nuova VM già sceglie quello giusto per le distribuzioni Linux, mentre per i sistemi Windows si limita a proporre […]

Se il fenomeno del Software Defined Network è sicuramente noto, magari lo sono meno i concetti di scalabilità estrema degli switch, ma soprattutto l’esistenza di Open Switch (più correttamente white box switch) […]
Reading Time: 6 minutesUno dei problemi che c’è con VMware NSX è che, nonostante tutto, il suo codice rimane ad accesso limitato: ad oggi NON esiste ancora un modo per farne l’evaluation or avere codici trial (in realtà appena installato già è in trial mode per 60 giorni). Questo perè ancora oggi il suo codice è disponibile solo dal sito Nicira. Neppure i partner VMware (a meno che non abbiano la competenza relativa alla Network Virtualization) hanno accesso al dowload del prodotto. Il modo più veloce per ottenerlo è seguire uno dei corsi ufficiali: il mese scorso avevo […]
