  Automating VLAN Creation on Cisco Devices with Ansible Ansible is a powerful automation tool that simplifies network management tasks, including creating VLANs on Cisco devices. For beginners, this guide will walk you through automating VLAN creation step-by-step, from setting up Ansible to deploying VLAN configurations. What is a VLAN? A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical group of devices within a network that can communicate as if they were on the same physical network, regardless of their physical location. VLANs improve network efficiency and security by segmenting traffic. Why Use Ansible for VLAN Automation? Consistency: Avoid manual configuration errors. Efficiency: Configure multiple devices in seconds. Scalability: Manage large-scale networks easily. Flexibility: Supports various Cisco devices and integrates with other tools. Prerequisites Cisco Device Configuration: Ensure your Cisco devices support SSH and are configured to allow Ans...

DDOS stands for "Distributed Denial of Service" A DDOS attack is carried out by a network of machines, hence the notion of distributed attacks These machines have been corrupted beforehand by cybercriminals through the spread of malware. This network of infected machines is also called botnet. The cybercriminal will execute a DDOS attack by ordering the botnet to saturate the service with many requests until it becomes unavailable, It is the concept of denial of service. DDOS can be on a specified service, it can also be a network link, an infrastructure, a website, an application, etc... It is noted that with the rise of the IoT or Internet of Things DDOS attacks gain in intensity since cybercriminals enroll unsecured IoT equipment in botnets. Denial of service will prevent real users of the service from using it. Another variant is DDOS attacks based on reflection and amplification, In this case, the cybercriminals will use machines accessible on the internet and there...
