RPKI ASPA: a complement to RPKI/ROA that tackles BGP route hijacks through AS path manipulation.
SCP not working with MacOS?
SCP not working with MacOS? This is normal. Here is the reason and how to solve this problem.
How to simulate a host in a real network?
Like some other posts, I didn’t think I would write this one because it seemed obvious. But, after talking to a lot of engineers and customers, I realized that not everyone knows this trick. So here it is.
The question is this: how to simulate a real host in a physical network environment when you don’t have computer at your disposal? Well, let’s take an example.
100Gb Ethernet transceivers, modules and form factors on Cisco products
At the time of the 400Gb Ethernet interfaces introduction, here is a summary of the different form factors, transceivers, and modules available for 100Gb Ethernet on Cisco devices.
As you will see below, there are many different types of 100Gb Ethernet transceivers. And each type has its own functional mode.
Source-Specific Multicast (SSM)
After giving a two-days training to a customer on multicast technology, I take the opportunity to have my lab and the configurations ready to share with you a suite of five different multicast configuration examples. And, how to make some tests and troubleshooting. These examples are based on the labs I used to practice the CCIE R&S practical exam. This lab is about Source-Specific Multicast (SSM).
Any-Source Multicast (ASM) with Bootstrap Router (BSR)

Site-to-site VPN tunnels between Meraki MX and Cisco ASA
As I wrote on my recent post here, I was involved into a project to implement a Meraki MX into the Azure Cloud. This project also includes a migration phase…
How to deploy a Cisco Meraki vMX100 into Microsoft Azure
Recently, I was involved into a project where we had to deploy a Cisco Meraki vMX100 into Microsoft Azure cloud and build site-to-site and clients VPNs.
The setup process on Azure is relatively simple, however, I lost quite a lot of time on basic issues because the documentation provided by Cisco is not 100% accurate. Here are some tips and tricks to save you time.
BGP full-routes vs partial-routes vs default-route
The IPv4 full BGP table size is around 725000 prefixes now. This may cause problems for companies that do not have the resources to update or upgrade their edge routers.
But, except for Internet transit providers, who really need to get the full IPv4 BGP table today? And what are the alternatives?
Let’s see that in detail with some use cases.
