The Cisco FirePower 1010 appliance (FP1010, successor to the ASA5506 which can run FTD 6.3 and higher) has finally become available. As I am relocating to a new home, it was time to replace my trusty 5506-X with the FP1010 and get a new fresh start with FTD. Since FTD 6.5 is just out, and it enables the switchports on the FP1010, it was time to upgrade the appliance. In this post I will share my method of upgrading the FP1010 to the latest version, 6.5.

I have been running IPv6 and IPv4 concurrently. At Cisco Live San Diego 2019 I shared some of my experiences with Jeffry Handal (I met him initially at CiscoLive Barcelona 2019) and somewhow we ended up talking about IPv6 and how by default you receive multiple IPv6 addresses. To me, that was one of my frustrations, so my network is setup in such a way that it only assigns a single IPv6 address. It appears that such a setup is not very common. So I would like to share with you how my IPv6 network is configured.

It’s been a long time since I’ve put a blog post up on my site. It’s not that I have not been busy, on the contrary. I have been working on my book (Transforming existing networks to Intent Based Networking), which is going to be published later this year, exciting, DNA Center and several other

I recently purchased a new microserver to reduce my power footprint at home. And I had to move the FMC (Firepower Management Center) from the OpenStack deployment that I previously ran at home. However, I ran into several bugs in OpenStack that were fixed in later versions, but I couldn’t upgrade because of another bug.

Swift is commonly known by iOS and MacOSX Software developers as Apple introduced the language in 2014 for MacOSX, iOS, and Linux application development. In my role as software engineer, I’ve used different programming languages to build small tools, solutions or prototypes. For network programmability, I’ve used Java as my primary language. I have my reasons, which I might share later in another post.
