Internets of Interest: 18th Sep

September 18, 2009 by bookmarks · 1 Comment 

Collection of use­ful, rel­ev­ant or inane places on the the Internets for 18th Sep:

  • evil​routers​.net » Blog Archive » Yet another reason to hate HP — Jeremy explains why HP switches don’t work well. He has con­sist­ently blogged about his prob­lems with HP ProCurve for the last year, and twittered about his daily prob­lems. 

He is right. HP is talk­ing a good game, but the deliv­ery isn’t there. By all means use HP for Layer2, but don’t use their rout­ing gear. It’s really ordinary.
  • Bluecoat Knowledge Base IE8 does not match IP addresses in PAC file — Apparently IE8 doesn’t handle expli­cit proxy auto-​​configuration syn­tax cor­rectly. If you use ” if (isInNet(host, “10.10.10.0″, “255.255.255.0″))” in your PAC file, then you are fresh out of luck because the Borg is stupid.

    Microsoft, FAIL, again.

  • Have you seen my Router ID? — CCIE Blog — If you haven’t seen this you should go look. It’s a bril­liant exer­cise in double think­ing the prob­lem. 

FWIW, this is sim­ilar to what a Network Architect does all day. Thinking up dif­fer­ent ways to make the tools fit the job. Although I don’t nor­mally care much aobut RouterID, I do care about dif­fer­ent ways to do the same thing.
  • Cisco Support Community: Copying IOS images using HTTP/​FTP — I am so used to using FTP or TFTP that I never looked the copy com­mand and actu­ally, men­tally, under­stood that you could load the file over HTTP; even though i have seen it at the com­mand line a mil­lion times.

    I’m feel­ing old now.

    You don’t need to feel old. The “copy http …” is com­pletely use­less as the IOS http-​​client doesn’t use the HOST-​​Header. So if you are using more than one domain-​​name on your web-​​server it will not work unless you put your images in the default-​​host.
