In the first entry of this series, we looked at the high-level mechanics involved in using AnyConnect with the ISE Posture module to perform endpoint host inspection (posture) when connecting to an AnyConnect VPN head-end (ASA/FTD). In the second entry of this series, we narrowly focused on getting the ISE posture module provisioned. If you haven’t check those out yet, please do, links below!

I recently completed my Ekahau Design training and certification. During the first day of class the instructor went over wireless fundamentals. Now as an experienced wireless engineer most of the topics were ideas that I had already known, however there were a few idea's that changed the way I understand wireless for the better. Lets walk though each of these idea's together!

Today we will be a looking at a debug tool inside LogicMonitor, that I use pretty frequently and has saved me time when troubleshooting alerts on my devices. At a high level, LogicMonitor is an onboarding platform that allows Managed Service Providers the ability to monitor and gain full visibility of their customer’s environments. Let’s take a look at this handy tool!

So there you are in front of your computer, you know you have internet access, you can ping 8.8.8.8, but your browser isn’t working, and when you try to ping google.com, the name is unable to resolve. You think to yourself “If only I had saved that blog article about nslookup locally, so I didn’t have to depend on the internet to get all that great info!”.

Cisco Webex Devices have added a feature that allows them will be able to detect T3 alarms.

In the last entry of this series, we looked at the high-level mechanics involved in using AnyConnect with the ISE Posture module to perform endpoint host inspection (posture) when connecting to an AnyConnect VPN head-end (ASA/FTD). If you haven’t read that one yet, you can find it here!

In this entry, we will be narrowly focused on provisioning the ISE posture module. Enjoy!

Hey there LookingPoint faithful’s! I hope you are all doing well and continuing to stay safe. Today I wanted to drop a quick how to on how to Whitelist IP addresses in Cisco’s FMC. So, without further of do, lets get to work!

I couldn’t find a guide online for a particular WebEx Calling scenario; we wanted to use a local gateway to bridge our on-prem CUCM with WebEx calling without the need for PSTN. The local gateway would just route calls from on-prem to the cloud and vice versa. Each service would offer its own PSTN for the endpoints registered to it. Here’s how we accomplished it!

WebEx Calling is Cisco’s Enterprise Cloud based calling solution. It allows companies to have their phones registered to Cisco’s cloud and it provides a rich set of features including an interface to the PSTN.

The Meraki dashboard is phenomenal in my opinion. With next to no effort on your part, you have a LOT of data at your fingertips. What if you want that data available for easy export, or if you want to access data older than 30 days old? I ran into just that scenario and found that on top of the GUI, Meraki provides a pretty fantastic API with access to even MORE data. Let me show you how to...
