Resume Writing

The ultimate goal of furthering your education is to improve your skill set and expand your career opportunities. Successfully applying for and landing the job you are seeking depends not only on your education and qualifications, but on how you present yourself to a prospective employer. The first step to making a good impression is to create a strong resume and cover letter, which will showcase your work experience, education, and skills, and introduce you to a potential employer,hopefully earning you an interview.

At Western Community College, we include information and material about resume writing in our programs, to ensure that graduates are well-equipped to make the most of their education to achieve their career goals.

There are several important components to a good resume, including:

• Clean, uncluttered layout

• Clear contact information

• A concise, engaging introduction that is either a Resume Summary, or an Resume Objective statement

• Employment History Section, with:

• Jobs history, listed in reverse-chronological order (current or most recent first)

• 4 – 6 bullet points for each job, listing your responsibilities/accomplishments/skills

• Education Section, also in reverse-chronological order

• Skills Section, listing important and relevant skills, particularly those that relate to the specific job for which you are applying

• Interests & Hobbies Section. This is optional, but if you have room for it, it can offer a better overall picture of who you are.

Once you have your master resume created, you should then customize it for each job application, to add keywords related to the requirements in the job posting, and to emphasize the elements of your resume with are most relevant to the position.

Cover Letter

While your resume will include all of the important details about your education, skills, and experience, it is still important to add a cover letter when applying for a job.

Your cover letter should always be tailored to the specific job for which you are applying, preferably addressed to the person who is doing the recruiting, and certainly highlighting important points which are directly related to the available job.

This is where you have the opportunity to expand on the most relevant points from your resume, where they had to be kept brief, which are directly related to the position advertised, and which show that you are qualified and suited to the job.

Most recruiters will not even consider resumes which do not have cover letters, so ensure that you do not skip this vital element.

Basic Configuration of a Barracuda Web Application Firewall WAF

Basic Configuration of a Barracuda Web Application Firewall WAF

Contents 1 Overview: 2 Initial Setup: 3 Setup Outbound Firewall Rules 4 Activate the Firewall: 4.1 Subscription: 4.2 Firmware Upgrades: 4.3 Energize Updates: 5 General Settings: 5.1 IP Address: 5.2 DNS: 5.3 Syslog: 5.4 Time: 5.5 Admin Access: 5.6 SNMP Conf: 5.7 Change Password: 5.8 Setup HA Pair:

Overview:

The Barracuda WAF (Web Application Firewall) model 660

Initial Setup:

Unlike "higher quality" systems, the barracuda systems needs a keyboard and VGA monitor for the initial configuration.  When plugged in, login with the default user/password (admin/admin) and in the System Configuration window, navigate to the TCP/IP Configuration.  From there, enter in the following information: WAN (external) IP:  WAN Mask WAN Gateway Primary and secondary DNS servers.  (Note that the Barracuda's Achilles heal is the external DNS system.  It requires this to work properly, so make sure that it is robust and accessible by the Barracuda. When you are done, select save and exit.  The changes will be made instantly.

Setup Outbound Firewall Rules

The system must connect to the Barracuda Network to handle licensing.  (this way they can milk the hell out of you for an over priced support contract. :)  Without this, the system throws errors and behaves poorly for admin purposes.  To enable this bend-overage, allow the following outbound flows on your firewall: Allow TCP:80 from the Barracuda to the following networks 64.235.147.0 255.255.255.0 host 64.235.144.132 216.129.105.0 255.255.255.0 216.129.125.0 255.255.255.0 205.158.110.0 255.255.255.0

Activate the Firewall:

Subscription:

From the Basic tab, under Status, select (3) the "Click here for activation code".  This will pull up a Barracuda webpage where you can enter in your company's information for the support contract.  When you are finished, you will get an activation code, which you should paste back in (4) the Basic tabs Status page, under the Subscription Status.

Firmware Upgrades:

To update Firmware, go to the Advanced tab, select Firmware Update, and confirm that the Current installed Version is less then the Latest General Release.  If so, select Download Now under the Latest General Release section, and then select Apply Now to install the newest release.

Energize Updates:

To get the latest Security, Virus and Attack updates, under Advanced tab, select the Energize Updates sub-tab.  Then select (A) update on those subsections.  The system will be updated without needing a restart or anything.

General Settings:

IP Address: 

Under the Basic Tab, under IP Configuration, set your LAN and Management IP addresses.    The LAN interface is the one that connects directly to the servers being proxied, and the Management interface is how admin access is

DNS:

Under the Basic Tab, under IP Configuration, set your DNS servers

Syslog:

Under the Advanced Tab, under Export Logs, set the syslog servers.

Time:

There are two different places to change the time on the server, one is in the Basic tab, and the other under the "special expert variables". Under the Basic Tab, under Admin, set the timezone Then  in the Advanced tab, under System Configuration, add the Time servers under the NTP Server Settings section.

Admin Access:

Under the Basic Tab, under Admin, set the range of IP's that can connect to the admin port of this system.

SNMP Conf:

Also under the Basic Tab, further down the Admin sub-tab is the SNMP configuration tab, where you can define the snmp version, community string, and allowed IPs to poll this system.

Change Password:

Change the Admin Password by going to the Basic tab, and selecting Administration, and then adding your new password in the Password Changesection.

Setup HA Pair:

Bind a second load balancer by repeating the process above to the second unit, and then under the Advanced Tab, select High Availability, and enter in the other systems IP, and the same shared secret and group id.

Cisco Compute UCS B-Series Configuration using the UCS SDK and Python

The Cisco UCS B-Series is a powerful compute system. I admit that it has a little learning curve to it, but in time I’ve learned to appreciate the way it works. The thing is that after a few deployments you wonder, when are the Cisco engineers going to take usability into consideration? Well, luckily there is an SDK out there that you can get from GitHub here. If you need to refresh the use of GitHub, Atom and Python check below post about it => GitHub and Atom. After some searches on Java client setting (UCS Manager GUI), I was able to put together a couple of code lines to configure a UCS B-Series. Using an input file created from an Excel Spreadsheet and saving it as a .CSV:

This example file is available as a gist: ucs-book.csv.

The following example configures a UCS B-Series with 8 blades. It uses ports 3 and 4 on both Fiber-Interconnects as Network Uplinks and creates port channels 50 and 51 with them.

The system will have three VLANs:

1. vMotion with id 50
2. Management with id 51
3. Production with id 200

The script can take as many VLANs as you want from the ucs-book.csv file and it will create those, but it will not allocate them to any vNIC template by default. At this point, there is an option to omit the iSCSI or the FC with two boolean variables at the beginning or the script. Download it from GitHub => ucs-config

To test all of this you could download the UCS Manager Emulator from Cisco and use Fusion to provision a new UCS B-Series. This is a basic and raw script, you would need to change the path to the .csv file and I can’t guarantee that it will work on your system and of course I am not responsible for what happens to it. I would recommend to use it in you development environment only until you become familiar with the DSK, enjoy.

Cisco Nexus Switching NX-OS Basic Commands Cheat Sheet

Some of hands on Basic Cisco Command to practice for CCNA (DCICN) Data Center test (640-911). This post is going to share a series of Cisco commands used in day to day operations Network engineers would exercise to complete Networking requirements.

1.  To delete the start-up configuration

Switch#write erase boot
Switch#reload

2. To enter Global Configuration Mode

Switch#config
Switch(config)#

3. How to the save the Configuration

Switch#copy running-config start-config or
Switch#copy run star

4. Set the hostname

Switch#config t
Switch(config)#hostname switchA

5. Setting up the management ip address and description

switchA#config t
switchA(config)#int mgmt0
switchA(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
switchA(config-if)#description management address
switchA(config-if)#end
switchA#

6. Creating VLANs

switchA#
switchA(config)#vlan 10
switchA(config-vlan)#name meaningful-name
switchA(config-vlan)#exit
switchA(config)#

7. Assign an interface to a vlan

switchA#config t
switchA(config)#int e3/1
switchA(config-if)#switchport
switchA(config-if)#switchport mode access
switchA(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
switchA(config-if)#end
switchA(config)#

8. RIP

Nexus7k(config)# feature rip
Nexus7k(config)# router rip RodzRIP
Nexus7k(config-router)# address-family ?
ipv4 Configure IPv4 address-family
ipv6 Configure IPv6 address-family
Nexus7k(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
Nexus7k(config-router-af)# int e3/1 - 2
Nexus7k(config-if-range)# ip router rip RodzRIP

9. EIGRP

Nexus7k(config)# feature eigrp
 Nexus7k(config)# router eigrp RodzEIGRP
 Nexus7k(config-router)# au?
 authentication autonomous-system
 Nexus7k(config-router)# autonomous-system ?
 <1-65535> Local AS number
 Nexus7k(config-router)# autonomous-system 100
 Nexus7k(config-router)# int e3/1 - 2
 Nexus7k(config-if-range)# ip router eigrp RodzEIGRP

10. OSPF

Nexus7k(config-if-range)# feature ospf
Nexus7k(config)# router ospf  JRVOSPF
Nexus7k(config-router)# int e3/1 -2
Nexus7k(config-if-range)# ip router ospf JRVOSPF area 0

11. Configure ports for routing, Example ports e3/1 and e3/2

Nexus7(config-if)# int e3/1
Nexus7(config-if)# no switchport
Nexus7(config-if)# ip address 172.16.10.1/24
Nexus7(config-if)# no shutdown
Nexus7(config-if)# int e3/2
Nexus7(config-if)# no switchport 
Nexus7(config-if)# ip address 172.16.20.1/24
Nexus7(config-if)# no shutdown

12. Configure a static route to remote network 192.168.10.0/24

Switch#conf t
Switch#(config)#ip route 192.168.10.0/24 e3/1 172.16.10.2

13. VLAN TRUNK

16. Configuring Inter-VLAN Routing

feature interface-vlan
interface vlan 10
ip address 172.16.10.1/24
int vlan 20
ip address 172.16.20.1/24
int vlan 30
ip address 172.16.30.1

17. STP

show spanning-tree
conf t
spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 4096 (multiples of 4096 up to 61440)
int e3/40-44
spanning-tree port type edge (for hosts)
int e3/45-48
spanning-tree port type network (for inter switch links)

18. Set a switch as root bridge

spanning-tree vlan 1 root primary

19 port-channels

interface port-channel 1
int e3/31-38
switchport
switchport mode  trunk
channel group 1 mode on
channel group 1 force mode on

20. Show the forward/filter table

show mac address-table

21. Show the STP root bridge for a VLAN

sh spanning-tree
sh spanning tree vlan <vlan#>

22. Configure a switch port to not transition through STP

spanning-tree port type edge

23. Show port channel

sh interface port-channel number

24 ACL To deny access to host 172.16.50.5 for telnet and ftp:

access-list 110 deny tcp any host 172.16.50.5 eq 21
access-list 110 deny tcp any host 172.16.50.5 eq 23
access-list 110 permit ip any any
int e3/1
ip access-group 110 out

25. Named ACL

ip access-list Deny_FTP
deny tcp any host 10.10.10.10 eq ftp
permit ip any any
int e3/2
ip accès-group Deny_FTP out
sh access-lists
