Migrate gpg keys to new machine.

CentOS 7:

As the user on the machine where the keys are that you want to migrate:
Export the public keys:

gpg -a –export >mypublickey.asc

Export the private keys:

gpg -a –export-secret-keys > myprivatekey.asc

Export you trust database:

gpg –export-ownertrust > mytrust.db

Copy the mypublickeys.asc, myprivatekeys.asc and mytrust.db to the new machine.

Log into the new machine as the user you want the keys for:
Import the private key file:

gpg –import myprivatekey.asc

Import the public key file:

gpg –import mypublickey.asc

List the secret keys to verify:

gpg -K

List the public keys to verify:

gpg -k

Import the trustdb:

gpg –import-ownertrust mytrust.db

Ssh on different ports on different interfaces (linux).

To have sshd listen on a different port on two interfaces, you can configure the /etc/ssh/sshd_config like so:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

ListenAddress 10.10.10.10:22
ListenAddress 11.11.11.11:6666

This will have sshd listening on port 22 on the interface configured with IP address 10.10.10.10 and port 6666 on the interface configured with IP address 11.11.11.11.

Restart sshd:

systemctl restart sshd

Cisco 3750 switch – multiple failover static routes

I needed to set up a few fail over routes in case an intermediate route became unavailable. And I needed to do this for two different scenarios.

Create your IP SLAs:

ip sla 1
icmp-echo 10.10.10.111 source-ip 10.10.10.123
timeout 1000
threshold 2
frequency 3
ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now

This is ping testing 10.10.10.111 from 10.10.10.123 to verify that the primary hop is available.

ip sla 2
icmp-echo 10.10.11.222 source-ip 10.10.22.123
timeout 1000
threshold 2
frequency 3
ip sla schedule 2 life forever start-time now

Likewise, this is ping testing 10.10.11.222 from 10.10.22.123 to verify that the primary hop is available.

Create your routes (Note: The IP security version of IOS is not needed for this.)::

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.111 track 1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.222 10

In this case, the default route on the 3750 is to 10.10.10.111, however if it is unavailable, then the default route is to 10.10.10.222.

However, traffic to 10.10.11.10 and 192.168.0.20 should route to 10.10.11.222 by default and 10.10.11.223 when 10.10.11.222 is unavailable.

ip route 10.10.11.10 255.255.255.255 10.10.11.222 track 2
ip route 192.168.0.20 255.255.255.255 10.10.11.222 track 2
ip route 10.10.11.10 255.255.255.0 10.10.11.223
ip route 192.168.0.20 255.255.255.0 10.10.11.223

Activate the tracks with the following statements:

track 1 ip sla 1 reachability
track 2 ip sla 2 reachability

Here are some useful commands to look at the configuration/status:

CentOS – create a swap file.

I have done a few times before but don’t have to do it very often, just noting it here.

Create an empty file. The following will create a 1GB file.:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swapfile bs=1024 count=1024000
1024000+0 records in
1024000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 10.9243 s, 96.0 MB/s

Change the permission:

# chmod 0600 /var/swapfile

Create the swap area:

# mkswap /var/swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1023996 KiB
no label, UUID=957c2a0c-30f9-4dd7-89ed-d88b9f471294

Enable the swap area:

# swapon /var/swapfile

Enable the swap area at boot by adding it to the /etc/fstab:

# vi /etc/fstab

/var/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

Disable the swap area:

# swapoff /var/swapfile

Return top
