Cisco – Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg
KB ID 0001099 Problem A friend was rolling out some PC’s for a client and wanted me to give him a network with the same subnet etc so he could build everything on the bench.

Webmin – Upgrade Error – ‘Perl (Net::SSLeay) is needed’
KB ID 0001100 Problem I like to keep my CentOS server updated as much as I can, but the last couple of times I’ve gone to run the upgrade of the Webmin console, I’ve got this; error: Failed dependencies: perl(Net::SSLeay) is needed by webmin (version) Solution 1.

Cisco ASA 5500-X Restart the FirePOWER Service Module
KB ID 0001101 Problem I’ve only just recently started to work with these, the advantage of them is they are great for SOHO and SMB, and they don’t need additional SSD drives installing. Note: This also procedure works on the larger ASA5500-X firewalls that have Firepower installed on an internal SSD drive, (i.e. 5512,5515,5525, and 5545 etc.) While getting them to work with a Sourcefire appliance, I had to...
Cisco ASA – Cannot Enable Third Party Certificate (9.4 and later)
KB ID 0001106 Problem I installed a third party certificate for a client on their ASA (from Digicert). And followed my usual procedure. I enabled it on the outside interface and tested AnyConnect, it wasn’t working. The ASA refused to present anything other than its self signed certificate. Solution This is because after 9.4 the ASA will automatically present a certificate that has an elliptical curve cipher. Even if the ASA has...
HP iLO – Password Must Contain 8 to 39 Characters
KB ID 0001103 Problem While setting up a new HP storage server, I jumped on the iLO and went to setup a new user and password, only to be greeted with this pop-up.

That and the fact, at three in the morning when the servers go down, I don’t want to be scrabbling about looking for passwords. Solution 1. You need to...
