Deploy syslog agent for centralized Windows logging

An option for centralizing Windows logs is to install an agent on each machine that will forward Windows event logs to a centralized syslog server as they happen. Evtsys is a very small and efficient client that will perform this task. This article contains the necessary steps to deploy this client from a centralized location.

Cisco TACACS server for Windows v2

Have you wanted to run a tacacs+ server on Windows, but didn’t have the budget for Cisco ACS or another commercial TACACS+ server? Cisco offers the source code to a freeware version of tacacs+. However, the code has typically been compiled for Unix platforms and other related variants. This is version 2 of a previous version posted on this site.

Dynagen Configuration using Etherchannel

This is a configuration file to use with Dynagen and Dynamips. It’s purpose is to allow a particular router combination to be emulated, saving the time in having to craft the Dynagen file yourself. This network consists of one 7200 router and another 3640 router serving the function of a switch.

Using TACACS with Dynagen-Dynamips

Here is a network Diagram containing a Windows host running Dynamips and Dynagen using a loopback adapter to communicate with a single virtual 3640 router.

Cisco TACACS server for Windows

Have you wanted to run a tacacs+ server on Windows, but didn’t have the budget for Cisco ACS or another commercial TACACS+ server? Cisco offers the source code to a freeware version of tacacs+. However, the code has typcially been compiled for Unix platforms and other related variants. This is the same unmodified server compiled for Windows that uses the very same configuration file as the Unix executable.

Dynagen configuration using five 3640 routers

This is a configuration file to use with Dynagen and Dynamips. It’s purpose is to allow a particular router combination to be emulated, saving the time in having to craft the Dynagen file yourself. This network consists of five 3640 routers running both OSPF and EIGRP in the network.

Dynagen Configuration using four 7206 Routers

This is a configuration file to use with Dynagen and Dynamips. It’s purpose is to allow a particular router combination to be emulated, saving the time in having to craft the Dynagen file yourself. This network consists of 7206 routers and will serve as the core of a MPLS network buildout.

Dynagen Configuration using NM-16ESW modules

This is a configuration file to use with Dynagen and Dynamips. It’s purpose is to allow a particular router combination to be emulated, saving the time in having to craft the Dynagen file yourself. This network consists of 3640 routers and NM-16ESW modules.

Dynagen Configuration using Three 1721 Routers

This is a configuration file to use with Dynagen and Dynamips. It’s purpose is to allow a particular router combination to be emulated, saving the time in having to craft the Dynagen file yourself. This network consists of three 1721 routers with 3 Total Lans and 1 Wan

Dynagen Configuration using two 2621XM Routers

This is a configuration file to use with Dynagen and Dynamips. It’s purpose is to allow a particular router combination to be emulated, saving the time in having to craft the Dynagen file yourself.
