Cisco Nexus 1000V deployment on ESX servers
The joint venture between Cisco and VMware brought a new highly scalable product for networkers is Cisco Nexsus 1000V. Cisco Nexus 1000V is a distributed virtual switch which is fully integrated within VMware Infrastructure. The Cisco Nexus 1000V has 2 different modules, they are ; Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM):- Each hypervisor contains one VEM module and it is a software solution that effectively performs following tasks: Advance Networking Security Traffic switching between virtual machines Routing between rest of the network Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM) :- The VSM is a standalone, physical or virtual module that performs the following functions for the Cisco Nexus 1000V system: Configuration Management Monitoring Integration with VMware In the Cisco Nexus 1000V, traffic is switched between virtual machines locally at each VEM instance level
Customizing ASAM module in NetFlow Analyzer
The previous blog was on ASAM will have given you an idea about the class “Scan and Probes” available with NetFlow Analyzer. Now that we know how the events are triggered we need to narrow it down, that the specific events or unwanted events can be ignored. When I say unwanted events, I mean the events that are deemed trusted or allowed network activities for certain resources and problems

How do you deploy configuration changes to production network?
Administrators working on production networks often face the need to carry out changes to the configurations of switches, routers, firewalls and other devices. The change could be a trivial one to modify a minor setting or might be a major one like upgrading the firmware. In both the scenarios, configuration changes to a device in production network requires planning, coordination, attention, diligence and visibility

Performance based IT Shop Part 2
Not all IT problems come under the domain of the network engineer. In my previous Blog , I talked about IT shops having a hodge-podge set of tools. There are various reasons, but the real inefficiency is when these tools perform the same functions. There becomes a time and need to look at the IT problems from different perspectives. A few examples below: Kenn Nied, Senior Network Engineer at WA State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, illustrates this encounter. While looking at OpManager from a networking point of view, the operator sees alerts that a few switches and a firewall are unresponsive. Is it faulty equipment or an attack? Then turning to a Security mindset, he looks at ManageEngine Device Expert to see real time and historical configuration changes. In one case, it was identified that there was a Firewall rule change made and realized it was a misconfiguration that caused the switch unresponsive. Diagnostic time was minimal. Albert E.
