I discovered that UniFi USW-24P-250 POE network switch is based on Linux kernel 3.6.5

Subject: I discovered that UniFi USW-24P-250 POE network switch is based on Linux kernel 3.6.5 Good day from Singapore, I discovered that UniFi USW-24P-250 POE network switch is based on Linux kernel 3.6.5 and other open source software. I had an opportunity to play with this UniFi USW-24P-250 POE network switch recently. The console output and other information below shows that UniFi USW-24P-250 POE network switch is based on Linux kernel 3.6.5. Please DO NOT try to configure UniFi network switches using the CLI. It WILL NOT work. If you configure UniFi network switches using the CLI, the IP address that you have manually configured will always go back to 192.168.1.20, which is the default IP address. The only way to configure UniFi network switches is to connect them to a network environment with DHCP server. You can then install and use UniFi Controller to adopt the UniFi network switch. Configuring UniFi network switches using UniFi Controller (GUI) is extremely easy and straight f

How to restrict Fortigate firewall WAN-side GUI to certain IP addresses (Untested CLI commands)

Subject: How to restrict Fortigate firewall WAN-side GUI to certain IP addresses (Untested CLI commands) Good day from Singapore, Fortigate firewall appliances are based on Linux. I came up with the following CLI commands after studying an existing Fortigate 60F firewall configuration. These are untested CLI commands. Use them at your own risk! The objective is to restrict Fortigate firewall WAN-side GUI to certain IP addresses. config firewall address      edit "SKYNET_1"         set subnet 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.255     next     edit "SKYNET_2" set subnet 5.6.7.8 255.255.255.255         next config firewall addrgrp     edit "SKYNET"         set member "SKYNET_1" "SKYNET_2"     next config firewall local-in-policy         edit 1                 set intf "wan1"         set srcaddr "SKYNET"         set dstaddr "all"         set action accept         set service "Fortigate_HTTPS" "SS

WHEN I SAY I’M A BUDDHIST - Professor Richard Gombrich

“When I say I’m a Buddhist, it doesn’t mean I’m purer and nicer than others. But it means I have too much ignorance and mental defilement to remove. I need Buddhas’ wisdom. When I say I’m a Buddhist, it doesn’t mean I have more wisdom than others. But it means I have been occupied by too much arrogance. I need to learn to be humble and to develop a broader perspective. When I say I’m a Buddhist, it is not because I am better or worse than others, but because I understand all beings are equal. When I say I’m a Buddhist, I know I only love those to my taste, but Buddha loves even people he does not like, guiding them to be full of wisdom and compassion. That’s why I choose to follow Buddha’s teachings! When I say I’m a Buddhist, it is not with the goal of getting what’s in my interest. But for letting go of my personal clinging to all worldly desires. When I say I am a Buddhist, it is not because I pursue a smooth life. But for the calm acceptance of impermanence, and be calm and confide

Subject: [UPDATE 1] Decommissioned Cisco ASA 5506-X Firepower Firewall and Deployed Fortigate 60F Firewall for an Investment Company in Singapore on 8 July 2021 Thursday Good day from Singapore, On 8 July 2021 Thursday, between 2 PM and 5 PM Singapore time, I have decommissioned a Cisco ASA 5506-X Firepower Firewall and deployed/replaced it with Fortigate 60F firewall for an investment company in Singapore. Configuration of the Fortigate 60F firewall appliance includes Duo 2FA integration and SSL VPN. You will also need to configure a RADIUS server on your Windows Server 2016/2019 in the same network as the Fortigate using Duo Authentication Proxy. No other RADIUS server is necessary. The firmware of Fortigate 60F firewall has been upgraded to the latest version 7.0.0. The most singular point about this Fortigate 60F firewall appliance deployment is that the SSL VPN uses Duo 2FA instead of Fortitokens. It is a rather unusual setup. You can read about Duo 2FA integration with Fortigate
