Whois Servers in NSM (Juniper Enterprise Management System)

March 5th, 2008 rsivanandan 1 comment

Those who use NSM would know that there is whois facility available in log viewer for NSM which can be used to view the registration details of different IP addresses and at times it is imperative to have this facility especially dealing with firewall/idp logs.

NSM by default installation has a list of whois servers however it do not list all the whois servers. This post should help you to change the whois server list in NSM client if you need a personalized one.

By default NSM has the following whois servers in installation;

“whois.arin.net”
“whois.apnic.net”
“whois.aunic.net”
“whois.compuserve.com”
“whois.domainpeople.com”
“whois.hq.nasa.gov”
“whois.internic.net”
“whois.netnames.net”
“whois.nic.gov”
“whois.nic.it”
“whois.virginia.edu”

The file which stores this information is ‘prefs.orig’ in the NSM Client installation directory. So as you can see, you can edit the list to add/remove your required whois servers!

A list of all available whois servers can be found here [here]

Juniper EX Series Switches

March 2nd, 2008 rsivanandan No comments

exseries_family If you had been watching recent Network World blogs, it was full of some mud-slashing exercise on Juniper’s recently launched EX Series of Switches and Entry of Cisco’s Nexus switches around the same time. So Jeff writes it doesn’t improvise anything by bringing out a switch which is ‘not any different’ from any one’s else that’s prevailing. Nortel’s Tony picked onto it and some math were also been thrown. It is an interesting read, however I’d like to be on the quiet side :-)

Left aside the improvements, considering Juniper’s growth onto Enterprise Market, now the only key piece missing is an aggregator. On that account, a switch being rolled out in the market would boost the ‘Complete Solution’ as far as I can see. Think about a mix of SSG Firewalls & UAC solutions from Juniper and at the back-end you have a switch that speaks a totally different language? Well, so to speak technology is innovative and one has to lay the foundation to improve something around it. I guess that is what Juniper has done now.

Features provided in the EX Series switches are [Here]
