Mac OS X – Cisco VPN Client

If you are running Cisco’s VPN Client on Mac OSX, you might be familiar with (or tormented by) “Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem”. The simple fix is to quit VPN Client, open a Terminal window, (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and type the following from root user:

# /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN/CiscoVPN restart

Stopping Cisco Systems VPN Driver
kextunload: unload kext /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext succeeded
Starting Cisco Systems VPN Driver
kextload: /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext loaded successfully

Cisco – Get & Save config using telnet

Vi è mai capitato di dover salvare delle configurazione da apparati cisco senza avere un tftp a disposizione?

In aiuto un piccolo script:

#!/bin/bash
host=xx.xx.xx.xx
port=23
login=user
passwd=pass
nobreak='terminal length 0'
cmd='show running-config all'
(echo open ${host} ${port}
sleep 1
echo ${login}
sleep 1
echo ${passwd}
sleep 1
echo ${nobreak}
sleep 1
echo ${cmd}
sleep 30
echo exit) | telnet > sw01.txt
