If I had you compile a list right now of social media channels, most important to least important, which would rank at the top? For almost everyone, that answer would be Facebook. Now another question—which would be at the bottom? For a large number of businesses (and I mean a lot) , that would probably be YouTube. Wrong! Because  YouTube can do a lot for the businesses who utilize it correctly and consistently . In order to do this, you need to understand how YouTube marketing is different than other social channels and how to use that to your advantage . This guide is beginner friendly -because it can help you build your YouTube channel from the ground up, but it also provides an advanced marketing strategy that everyone can benefit from. We’ll go over setting up your channel, optimizing and editing your videos , how to think outside the box with new strategies, monetization , and how to advertise on YouTube, all with plenty of great examples and screenshot...

Cisco ASA 9.4 (and later) is now supporting Policy Based Routing. Yeah. Great news, since many customers are requesting something like “HTTP traffic to the left – VoIP traffic to the right”. Coming with a new Cisco ASA 5506-X I was happy to try the policy based routing feature. The configuration steps through the ASDM GUI are not easy and full of errors so I am trying to give some hints within this blog post. The main document from Cisco for policy based routing on a ASA is here . It describes the use-cases for PBR and gives examples. Configuration I am doing all of my configurations through the GUI ASDM. (I know, some people really love the CLI even for configurations, but I don’t. I am using it only for troubleshooting issues.) For this lab I am using a Cisco ASA 5506-X with ASA version 9.5(1), while ASDM is version 7.5(1) . In my lab, I have a default route to ISP 1 (gi1/1) and a different connection to ISP 2 (gi1/2). There is no route to ISP 2 in the ro...

Ensure you have a hostname configured on your router: Router# conf t   Router(config)# hostname router23 You must also configure a domain name: Router(config)# ip domain-name jpt Generate an RSA keypair with a key length of 1024 bits using the following sequence of commands: router(config)# router(config)# crypto key generate rsa The name for the keys will be: routername.soundtraining.class (where routername is your router's hostname) Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your   General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes. How many bits in the modulus [512]: 1024 % Generating 1024 bit RSA keys ...[OK] Create a username in the router’s local database for SSH authentication using the following command (for the purpose of the exercise, use the username “user15”): router01(config)# username user15 privilege 15 secret p@ssword Enable login authentication against the local database when logging i...

Planet Switch Configuration Step 1: Log into the Planet Switch Planet switch default IP address is 192.168.0.100 . Default password is “ admin ” Once you have logged into the switch you can change the default IP address to match the IP subnet for LAN1. Here we have used the IP address 192.168.10.100. Step 2: Configure VLAN Membership Go to VLAN Membership configuration menu and create VLAN ID’s and port association. Enter new VLAN ID and click Add On the next page that appears select the ports to be associated with the VLAN Click Apply to save. (We have assigned 6 ports for each VLAN as shown in the screen shots below) Repeat the steps for each VLAN (VLAN’s 1 to 4) Ensure port 1 is associated with all VLANs as this will be the trunk port Note : VLAN1 is enabled by default and all ports are associated with VLAN1 Note: Port 1 must be a member of all VLAN ID’s since this will be used as the 802.1Q VLAN Trunk (uplink) from the Vigor3200 router Step 3: Configure VL...
