Topics
in this issue:
Becoming
a network architect
If you've been working as a network administrator
for years, how to advance your career to the next level? You should
proceed to learn how to design networks. That is, given the
requirements of the customer, you will create a blueprint to
describe a network that will provide the performance, reliability and
security. Then you'll let others implement your design by setting up
the network devices.
Ready to go? Take our upcoming course Designing
reliable, high performance and secure networks which will
also enable you to take the CCDA
exam (Cisco Certified Design Associate).
Centralized
control of IE or Firefox settings
If you need to configure the settings of IE or
Firefox for the staff, Instead of doing it manually on each computer,
a much better way is to use IEAK
(for IE) or CCK
(for Firefox). They allow you to create a customized or add-on package
to configure the settings for the browser. Then you can use a
centralized deployment mechanism such as Active Directory or wpkg to deploy it to all
the computers.
We just did it at CPTTM to configure the bookmarks
and the trusted CA cert in Firefox on all our computers. It works like
a charm.
Preventing
a process from monopolizing CPU
Sometimes a process may go out of
control and consume all
the CPU, bringing the server to its knee. To prevent this problem, if
you're running Linux, you can use cpulimit
to limit the CPU utilization of a process to,
say, 20%. Then even if that process is in trouble, it won't
affect other services. We have used it successfully to limit the CPU
utilization of a VM (which runs as a process).
