Default passwords for network devices

Once upon a time I forgot default password for my lab VPN concentrator. At the next day I forgot default password for a brand new ACS appliance.

Rumors about CSA EoS/EoL

During last month I've heard some rumors that Cisco Security Agent is going to be dropped and end-of-sale is going to be announced in a near future. Personally I was expecting things like that because the CSA's development pace is rather slow. And I'm saying that in a polite way :). They even don't get CSA compatible with 64-bit platforms during last several years. Some sources says there will be a new great product that will replace CSA in an year or two.

Cisco Inc. history

Cisco launched a new marketing project which is called CISCO SYSTEMS CORPORATE TIMELINE. A lot of facts about Cisco's technological, business and marketing leadership. Quite interesting especially about 80's and early 90's years. Sometimes I miss those ages

By the way the Okena company which is CSA's original mother was acquisited in 2003. That was almost 6 years ago and it seems to me that CSA functionality and interface wasn't changed very much so far. Yes I know about all the new features but sometimes I think that Cisco could have done more. CSA could be more flexible, more sexier. I have some thoughts and suggestions but... time is short. And how on earth I could contact BU?

Hey! I supposed to talk about what CCIEvault is and what it is for, so I just tell you the basic principles:

1) First of all, this site was made as a place where I can keep professional information. I just forget everything all the time, so let it be here

2) Keep things easy, the goal is quick learning/recalling (quick and I hope not so dirty :)

3) Third rule is to provide my personal experience along with basic information (so called best-practices)

4) And fourth, last but not least, provide the next step(s), for those who need more detailed info,links to guides, sources or manuals.
