I’m experimenting further with ports-mgmt/synth. I let synth create some packages for me and I then removed all installed packages, save the pkg package manager. What a surprise I got when attempting to add my own metaport!

The official documentation on Cisco IOS XE for Catalyst 4500E claims this is the syntax for specifying IPv6 RDNSS and DNSSL: Switch(config)# interface Te1/1 Switch(config‑if)# ipv6 nd ra dns server 4::4 Switch(config‑if)# ipv6 nd ra dns search list aaa.cc.com Using IOS XE 3.10.0E, the correct syntax for DNSSL is: Switch(config)# interface Te1/1 Switch(config‑if)# ipv6 nd ra dns server 4::4 Switch(config‑if)# ipv6 nd ra dns‑search‑list domain aaa.cc.com Sadly, the quality of Cisco’s documentation isn’t what it was back in 2006.

Error 0x800F081F while installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 10 might be due to corporate WSUS servers not allowing such updates.

I keep Star Trek Online installed in two separate directories. One of the copies is simply a backup which I update but never play, while the other is for playing. Keeping these two copies updated got a bit messy after the STO launcher began recording the InstallLocation in the Windows registry. Subsequently, I have to […]

perfSONAR 4.0.2 is out. The system as a whole is still remarkably wedded to IPv4. Dual stack is preferred over IPv6 only. It’s tough luck if you succeed 100 % with the latter. CentOS/anaconda supports IPv6 RDNSS when configuring the DNS settings. Now, if only Cisco IOS XE would allow me to enter a domain name […]
