Since I was working to build a lab for doing Fortinet certification, I was why not tot try out directly ESXi 8.0 ? Since before I was using ESXi6.7.Installed first time, discovered a nice UI but then I discovered I have only half of my disk space. It looks like you can only fix this by editing the boot.cfg process at the installation by adding at end autoPartitionOSDataSize=8192. Later on is not possible.

After I tried to run Wireshark on my M1 Macbook Pro, I found out i cannot use internal interfaces from the docking station because of ? no permission. I tried to do the recommandation and install the app they recommend but without sucess. Current i’m running Ventura 13.1. This has been upgraded with the Wireshark running on the older version, probably this broke some permission. After a little bit of google, I found the solution. The solution would be to …
After a power outage, we discovered that we lost internet connection to one of the best home use router, ubiquti edgerouter. This model was POE 5. Decided to bring a ER-5 but I had a console with me and I want to see what is going on behind. Looks like there is actually a flashdrive from where the device is booting and…the files are corrupted. Because I didn’t had any usb flash drive, small enough for that USB, I tried …
Because I had a radius server ready with a group and secret present, was more easy for me if I can acomplish to have some linux machines to authenticate clients via the same radius server. Looks like it was not that easy that I was thinking. I tried multiple options like this and this but I failed. Digging online, I found a solution and a workaround and I think it make sense to share this here. A very old unsupported …
I worked this days to troubleshoot why our monitoring tool hardrive gets full very fast. Looks like that service snmptrapd that collects snmp traps is using all the space.Here is my logrotate script to fix it. The trick is that you need to use logrotate to restart the service at every “cleaninig” root@hostname:$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/snmptrapd/var/log/snmptrap/*.log {hourlymissingokrotate 24delaycompressnotifemptycompresspostrotate/bin/systemctl restart snmptrapd.service > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || trueendscript}
If you have a Octagon sf8008 at home for satelite or cable receiver and you discovered similar to someone is using remote control even if not ? Yeah, the issue is related to a driver. Quick fix: mv /lib/modules/4.4.35/extra/hisi_keys.ko /lib/modules/4.4.35/extra/hisi_keys.ko.bakshutdown -r now And now everything should work fine. Credits for this here.
LLDP is a standard almost everywhere, unlike CDP that is mostly used only on Cisco devices. From time to time I had to troubleshoot issues where is a ESXi (or ESX) server connected and if all the vlans are tagged correctly. Sometimes documentation is not accurate so we had to find where is connected based on some MAC addresses and other ways. We know that VMware can receive LLDP uplinks information but they are “available” by default only for VDS …
These days as was fighting with configuration of multiple AOS6 and AOS8 switches using Ansible and I discovered that for old versions of AOS6, this doesn’t work because of the encryption limitation of the python. Error that I had: As a workaround I had to edit: And find those two lines: And replace them with: Don’t need to reload any services, just works after. Source.
I discovered recently that Librenms is capable to “handle” and show wifi sensors and because i had a OpenWrt AP running i tried to have it running but… It wasn’t running as it was described. Here i would like to explain what i did to make it running.Two issues that are not discribed in the documentation: Librenms don’t have MIB or snmp-mibs. OpenWrt had a bug that doesn’t have “extend’ feature enabled in my running SNMP application. For problem number …
Because i started with LibreNMS and then with Netbox, i saw that eNMS can be synced with Librenms. The installation documentation was not the best, really don’t know the exact reason behind. No VM machine for DEMO. I’m guessing that docker demo can be the easier to do it but if i have enough space, i would like to avoid it. Because i recently did a Netbox installation, i discovered that 80% of eNMS installation is really the same and …
