Cisco CME

Well i have been messing around with CME, never used it. As ever you have to try it at least once.
I would say it wasn't what i expected, very basic.
The CLI really is the only way to fly.
Setup single and duel line, duel line was interesting.

Next i moved onto a Pix 506E i had in the corner, after using the ASA last week this really fealt like a step backwards when it came to configuring.

But it still has some good uses i will be hanging onto this guy.
Might do a double firewall for a DMZ just because i can ;)

Anyways back to the work of,what can i build next.

Messing around with an ASA 5505

Well started mess around with my 5505 ASA at home.

Bought this a while back during CCNP study's.
thought i would fire it up and see how i go. 4 days into it i have got it where i want it.

started from transparent then onto routed mode with NAT.
which was no good as i already NAT on the front router Cisco 1721 with ADSL card.

today got it working with no NAT.

Loving these box's, lots to learn but worth the hair pulling at times.
