Configuration Replacement

Wed, 2007-03-14 12:50

The group over at NIL have written an nice article on the configure replace command. I've seen this command a couple times, but never used it. It allows you to replace the running configuration with a copy of the startup configuration (or some other config you have on a TFTP server). Previously, this was only possible by rebooting the router or using a ton of "no" commands to back all your configuration out. The router can even list what commands will be negated as it replaces the running configuration! Nice!
The command to pull it off is this:
Router#configure replace nvram:startup-config list
The "list" command on the end will list the syntax the router is adding or removing as it goes...very nice! The entire write-up on this can be found here.

Free E-Learning...eh...E-Reading...eh...something

I guess the big news of this is that it's FREE...as it should be :). Cisco has started to develop some quick training describing how to enable features on the ASA/PIX firewall. Some of the topics are neat..."How to set up Packet Tracers" "How to set up SSL VPNs." The modules DO actually describe how to do these things if you can bear the pain of listening to a computer generated voice reading a script someone wrote. Sure isn't as good as the Cisco training available from Jeremy Cioara on CBTNuggets (ehem...shameless plug). It sounds like the voice that announces the names in my airport...Anyhow, the link to this training is here!

The Arizona Cardinals Use Cisco?!?

Who knew?!? Quote from Cisco website: "...Arizona Cardinals chose the Cisco Unified Communications System to create an immediately scalable, flexible and revenue-focused network..."
I guess this story is near and dear to my heart because I live in Arizona, and support the Cardinals (in a small, dark closet near the west side of my house). I figured they'd never do anything cool! Nonetheless, this has Cisco so excited, they've created a webcast out of it to air on March 28th. I bet it'll be better than a typical Cardinal football game!
