Cisco’s M5 UCS servers take intent-based approach to data center

It's not the server -- it's the system. That's the word from Cisco as it rolls out its new, M5 generation Unified Computing System rack and blade servers, triggered by Intel's release of the Xeon Scalable Processor platform.Cisco's new servers use the Xeon Scalable processors -- unveiled Tuesday in New York -- to fuel performance as well as increase server density and throughput.  But the value in the UCS product family lies in how the hardware works with configuration management and optimization software to make data centers run at peak efficiency, company officials say.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

When is a Connected Route Not Used?

I ran into this situation on a recent project and thought it would make an excellent question on an exam. It could be worded something like this:

What is the behavior of a router or Layer 3 switch when a dynamic route is learned that partially overlaps with a directly connected network?

a. The router reboots
b. The network reboots
c. That’s um-possible
d. None of the above

The answer, of course, is “d” but the specifics of what does happen is what’s interesting. First, this is the scenario I’m trying to describe in the question above:

R12#show ip route
...
Gateway of last resort is not set

      10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 6 subnets, 3 masks
D        10.1.14.0/24 [90/1024640] via 123.1.1.14, 00:14:37, Ethernet0/1
C        10.10.10.0/24 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
L        10.10.10.12/32 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
D        10.10.10.64/26 [90/1024640] via 123.1.1.14, 00:14:05, Ethernet0/1

R12 has a directly connected network 10.10.10.0/24 on its e0/0 interface. It has also learned a route for 10.10.10.64/26 via an EIGRP neighbor on its e0/1 interface. We can see both networks Continue reading

LockPoS Joins the Flock

While revisiting a Flokibot campaign that was targeting point of sale (PoS) systems in Brazil earlier this year, we discovered something interesting. One of the command and control (C2) servers that had been dormant for quite some time had suddenly woken up and started distributing […]

Episode 7 – Extending Layer 2

There’s plenty of debate in the networking community about the merits of extending layer 2 networks, when you should do it, how you should do it, what pitfalls you should avoid, and what benefits you should expect. Join us as our panel discuss the finer points of what you should consider when you are considering extending layer 2 in your network.

What is hyperconvergence?

Hyperconvergence is an IT framework that combines storage, computing and networking into a single system in an effort to reduce data center complexity and increase scalability. Hyperconverged platforms include a hypervisor for virtualized computing, software-defined storage, and virtualized networking, and they typically run on standard, off-the-shelf servers. Multiple nodes can be clustered together to create pools of shared compute and storage resources, designed for convenient consumption. The use of commodity hardware, supported by a single vendor, yields an infrastructure that's designed to be more flexible and simpler to manage than traditional enterprise storage infrastructure. For IT leaders who are embarking on data center modernization projects, hyperconvergence can provide the agility of public cloud infrastructure without relinquishing control of hardware on their own premises.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
