		<description><![CDATA[I write this tutorial to show how it is simple wakup a PC through Internet using WOL feature. What is WOL feature? Wake-on-LAN (WOL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up by a network message. The message is usually sent by a program executed on another computer on the same local area network. It is also possible to initiate the message from another network by using Subnet directed broadcasts or a WOL gateway service. Wake-on-LAN is implemented using a special network message called a magic packet. The magic packet contains [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How long does it take to reload your router? 3 or 4 minutes? Do you know that is possible to speed up your reboot? If your answer is negative, read how warm reload is faster than cold (classic) reload. Introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)T, the warm reload feature allows users to reload their routers without reading images from storage. That is, the Cisco IOS image reboots without ROM monitor mode (ROMMON) intervention by restoring the read-write data from a previously saved copy in the RAM and by starting execution without either copying the image from flash to RAM or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not everyone knows that the reload command permits to schedule a reboot system; for instance, to plan a night router restart or during a critical configuration (AAA, vty, and so on&#8230;). There are two ways to schedule a reload system: at: at a specific time/date in: after a time interval The &#8216;at&#8217; keyword permits to schedule a reload of the software to take place at the specified time (using a 24-hour clock). If you specify the month and day, the reload is scheduled to take place at the specified time and date. The following example reloads the router on April [...]]]></description>

The Cisco-IOS method might not be new to some, but those that don’t know about it will find it useful. Suppose you would decrypt these string: username cisco password 7 0718365B000A1016141D11050A2F6527273E username fabio password 7 0110140558004B0224014600110C To find the password, you can use the Cisco Key Chain: Ciscozine(config)#key chain test Ciscozine(config-keychain)#key 1 Ciscozine(config-keychain-key)#key-string 7 0718365B000A1016141D11050A2F6527273E Ciscozine(config-keychain)#key 2 Ciscozine(config-keychain-key)#key-string 7 0110140558004B0224014600110C The &#8220;show key chain&#8221; command displays the password configured in a key chain in cleartext [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An access list is a sequential list consisting of at least one permit statement and possibly one or more deny statements that apply to IP addresses and possibly upper-layer IP protocols. Time-based ACLs is a Cisco feature introduced in the Release 12.0.1.T to allow access control based on time. The time range, identified by a name, can be &#8216;absolute&#8216; or &#8216;periodic&#8216;. Use time-based access list is easy and can be useful in some situations. To implement it, you need: Define time-range Define ACL, where the time-range is applied to Apply ACL; for istance: to the interface, to the vty, to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Traceroute is a tool for measuring the route path and transit times of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Traceroute sends a sequence of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets addressed to a destination host. Tracing the intermediate routers traversed involves control of the time-to-live (TTL) Internet Protocol parameter. Routers decrement this parameter and discard a packet when the TTL value has reached zero, returning an ICMP error message (ICMP Time Exceeded) to the sender. In a Data Center, it is often required to find a host and the layer2 path. To do it, Cisco has implemented a good [...]]]></description>

The fastest solution is replace it with the &#8216;password recovery&#8216; (you can try to find the password with bruteforce attack but I think it is not the better solution..). During the password recovery procedure, it is fundamental sent the correct &#8216;Break&#8217; key sequence to enable ROMMON, but, as you know, the &#8216;break&#8217; sequence depends by the software that you use!

		<description><![CDATA[The origins of regular expressions lie in automata theory and formal language theory, both of which are part of theoretical computer science. These fields study models of computation (automata) and ways to describe and classify formal languages. In the 1950s, mathematician Stephen Cole Kleene described these models using his mathematical notation called regular sets. The SNOBOL language was an early implementation of pattern matching, but not identical to regular expressions. Ken Thompson built Kleene&#8217;s notation into the editor QED as a means to match patterns in text files. A regular expression is entered as part of a command and is [...]]]></description>

For istance, if you type “sh ru” and press TAB, it will complete the command as “show running-config“. Below the complete list of the IOS shortcuts: Ctrl+T: Swap the current character with the one before it Ctrl+K: Erase all characters from the current cursor position to the end of the line Ctrl+X: Erase all characters from the current cursor position to the beginning of the line Ctrl+L: Reprint the line Ctrl+C: Exit configuration mode [...]]]></description>

After the upgrading, I have tried to downlad an ISO image but the speed was very low (about 300KB/s and not 700KB/s). Mhhh this is strange! I have begun the troubleshooting but no error, no warning message. So I have reset my current configuration, but nothing&#8230; no real improvement. Fortunately my better friend (google hihihi) help me and I have found how to fix the &#8216;download speed&#8217;: define manually the &#8216;clockrate&#8217; into the atm interface!   Ciscozine(config-if)#clock rate [...]]]></description>

An alias can be configured to do anything that can be done at the command line, but an alias cannot move between modes, type in passwords, or perform any interactive functions. To create a command alias, issue the alias command in global configuration mode. The syntax of the command is alias mode command-alias original-command. Who have never typed repeatedly the commands show cdp neigh or show ip inter brief?

When creating passwords, keep these rules in mind: Make passwords lengthy Passwords should combine letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords should not use dictionary words Change passwords as often as possible Strong passwords are the primary defense against unauthorized access to your router. The best way to manage passwords is to maintain them on an AAA server, but not all people can have/manage a AAA server. Cisco provides a number of enhanced features that allow you to increase the security of your passwords. For the basic configuration read [...]]]></description>
