In this tutorial, i will demonstrate configuration of IPv6 addressing in both Windows XP machine and Cisco Router (GNS3).One of most flexible migration approach to IPv6 will be  “Dual-stack” approach which means that network devices will have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses simultaneosly. Both TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 protocol stacks will work together seamlessly for quite some time.

IPv6 is also called IPng “IP Next Generation”. IPv6 offers exciting (more…)

This tutorial will help you lock down your Cisco gear’s configuration access.This feature comes in very handy for making day-to-day configuration changes.The “Configuration Lock” feature also known as “Exclusive Configuration Change Access ” allows you to have exclusive change access to the Cisco IOS running configuration, preventing multiple users from making concurrent configuration changes to Cisco devices.

In addition, this tutorial will also demonstrate use of (more…)

Recently, i came across a post at CiscoBlog for scheduling periodic config backups in IOS to an external location on your network.This is useful  if you want your router to trigger an update everytime ‘write mem’ is executed.However, in some cases, this might not be desirable considering the amount of log files and number of devices on your network.

I usually prefer taking back-ups at mid-night on daily basis.In order to achieve this task, i would use ‘archive command’ in conjunction with (more…)

In this tutorial , i will demonstrate how you can setup Cisco Configuration Professional to manage your devices. Cisco Configuration Professional is the new device manager for the ISRs and will replace Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) over time. Like SDM, Cisco Configuration Professional assumes a general understanding of networking technologies and (more…)

In one of the previous tutorials , i had demostrated ‘Direct Mode’ approach for registering third party SIP phone to Cisco Unified Communication Manager Express (CUCME) . This tutorial will demonstrate ‘true SIP mode’ Or ‘Register Mode’ in which SIP device will actually register to VOIP router/SIP proxy server in order to make and receive calls.

Unlike ephone-dn/ephone which we use for (more…)

This tutorial will help you setup and configure your Ios Ips (Intrusion Prevention System) using SDM in less than 10 minutes.Cisco SDM is a web-based configuration tool that simplifies & eases router and security configuration through smart wizards , which help customers quickly and easily deploy , configure , and monitor a Cisco router without requiring knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI) .

I will walk you through (more…)
