I was working on my production Vyatta routing infrastructure today and thought this would be some helpful and useful information for someone out there.  Many people set their NIC’s to auto-negotiate which is fine for quick and easy setups, but I’ve found this can be a culprit of many network latency issues in datacenter environments.  So I’m going to walk you through the steps of configuring your WAN NIC for 100MB Full Duplex and your internal or your LAN NIC for 1000MB Full Duplex

I have been fiddling with Vyatta quite a bit recently in attempt to reduce our Cisco footprint in the datacenter.  Their solution has been the best fit for our needs that I can find.  One topic that the documentation didn't touch on much is that of "Port Forwarding" as most of us know it by.

Vyatta refers to this topic as DNAT, this requires that you have NAT enabled in your configuration.

PHP Being one of the most used web development language on the web I found this to be a very essential resource for everyone to have access too.

Everyone that is working on a website and/or blog is always trying to stay on top of the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) trends of the month.  From managing and working with websites that range from light traffic (sub 1k vistors/day) to high traffic sites (10k + vistors/day) I've found some fairly decent resources that help me along the way.

I have personally found each of these resources useful.  I will be continually updating this page as the time goes and my Cisco experience grows in the resources and technology I use.
