Add That to the Win Column
Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on 3rd September 2008
I just finished another remote site in Arkansas tonight, adding it to the list of routers I have successfully configured with ipsec vpn. And each time I add another crypto map and tunnel-group entry into the PIX, the more natural it becomes. It feels nice to see that continous ping finally show “Reply…” instead of the dreaded “Request timed out”. It’s also a fist-pumping moment to see that the tracert result shows that it is now using the new tunnel instead of the old.
In addition I successfully configured RADIUS authentication for our VPN client users today at work. I can add that now to my resume of small accomplishments 
.
I should have finished earlier but I was also watching a local high school football game on ESPN2. Normally I don’t watch hs football but two future recruits for the USC Trojans were playing on each side. But I really wanted to see more of how well the much-hyped future Trojan quarterback, Matt Barkley, was going to perform. He happens to be the first junior to ever be awarded the Gatorade national football player of the year. They ended up winning in triple OT, despite a three interception performance from Barkley. Oh yeah, he also happens to go to Mater Dei HS, the same program where previous Heisman trophy winning Trojan QB Matt Leinart went. So yeah, add another one to the win column… Not that anyone cares.
