JUNOS Upgrade

I have a copuple of SRX100H2 and I need to upgrade the operating system, so lets move on.

You need a service contract with Juniper Networks in order to download the latest version of the Junos Operating System, at the time of this writing the version is: 12.1X44-D45.2

I have placed the Junos image in my ftp server (3CDaemon)

F5 LTM Virtual Edition Part 1

I have been digging in the last months with a couple of deployments of F5 Load Balancers, and to be honest i didn´t have a clue about these interesting devices, and i foud it a really interesting subject. So i started to study in my free time and i have passed already the first exam of the two that you need to pass to achieve the first F5 certification "F5 BIG IP Certified Administrator" and i am on my way studying for the second one.

What i am going to explain here is how to build a Home Lab using VMware Workstation and GNS3.

You will need the following systems in your virtual lab:

  • Two virtual machines running your favourite web server.
  • One virtual machine running any operating system capable of running a web browser
  • Two virtual machines running F5 Local Traffic Manager Virtual Edition.
