COVID-19 upends disaster recovery planning

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in enterprise disaster recovery and business continuity planning in areas such as remote access, networking, SaaS applications and ransomware. Over the past year, IT execs have been scrambling to plug those gaps and update DR plans on the fly.More significantly, the pandemic triggered fundamental IT changes at many organizations, including a hasty migration of applications to the cloud, an acceleration of digital transformation efforts, the emergency provisioning of new systems and services outside of traditional procurement procedures, and, in many industries, the emergence a new category of full-time, work-at-home employees who are handling mission-critical data on their personal devices.To read this article in full, please click here

802.1X: What you need to know about this LAN-authentication standard

When devics on enterprise LANs need to connect to other devices, they need a standard method for identifying each other to ensure they are communicating with the device they want to, and that's what 802.1x does. This article tells where it came from and how it works.802.1x defined IEEE 802.1X is a standard that defines how to provide authentication for devices that connect with other devices on local area networks (LANs).How to deploy 802.1x for Wi-Fi using WPA3 enterprise It provides a mechanism by which network switches and access points can hand off authentication duties to a specialized authentication server, like a RADIUS server, so that device authentication on a network can be managed and updated centrally, rather than distributed across multiple pieces of networking hardware.To read this article in full, please click here

Venerable Linux distro Slackware comes back to life

Being first doesn't guarantee success in the technology industry. Remember the Netscape browser? Still, it can have its advantages, such as a different or unique approach to things.Such is the case with Slackware Linux. Slackware was the first formalized Linux distro, released in 1993, just two years after Linus Torvalds posted the Linux kernel. It was overtaken and overshadowed by Red Hat, SuSe, and Ubuntu, but it never went away. Now it's coming out of the shadows with an upgrade.Slackware creator Patrick Volkerding recently posted a beta version of Slackware 15, the first update to the distro since version 14.2 in 2016. If you think that's ancient, you should see their website.To read this article in full, please click here

Netsim-tools Release 0.6: BGP, IS-IS, SR-MPLS, FRR

TL&DR: If you want to test BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, or SR-MPLS in a virtual lab, you might build the lab faster with netsim-tools release 0.6.

In the netsim-tools release 0.6 I focused on adding routing protocol functionality:

• IS-IS on Cisco IOS/IOS XE, Cisco NX-OS, Arista EOS, FRR, and Junos.
• BGP on the same set of platforms, including support for multiple autonomous systems, EBGP, IBGP full mesh, IBGP with route reflectors, next-hop-self control, and BGP/IGP interaction.
• Segment Routing with MPLS on Cisco IOS XE and Arista EOS.
