Cisco Networkers & IOS TCL


I'm at Cisco Networkers at the moment in Brisbane (Day 1 of 3). Went to some pretty good sessions today, the keynote was very interesting (Howard Charney, Cisco SVP) with lots of crazy facts about the amazing spread of the Internet & technology. Went to quite a good session in 802.1x - with plenty of gotchas and things to look out for, so the slides from that will come in handy.

The session that I learnt the most at was on getting the right events out of NMS, by Benoit Claise from Belgium. He's written a book on this stuff and had some great examples on how to use things like the Embedded Event Manager, RMON and TCL scripts to get some pretty powerful monitoring from the devices themselves. Kind of on a similar line to the TCLsh stuff I came across last week, for scripting things in the CLI - this is a good blog for examples Cisco IOS hints and tricks: IOS Tclsh resources.
