1. Download iperf 3 

The main download site is from https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php.

2. Start it as server

Running command 'iperf -s' from command line as iperf server (ip address 100.99.136.66).

C:\Tools>iperf -s

My company has used Avocent ACS (Advanced Console Server) to do network devices' console management for many years already. I were using 4000, 5000 and 6000 serie, and now 8000 series is coming to refresh some old ones.

Emerson (EMR) acquired infrastructure management specialist Avocent Corporation (AVCT) for $1.2 billion on Oct 2009. Since then Emerson combined its Aperture and new Avocent businesses as a new division focused on helping data center customers better manage their infrastructure. Now it is part of Vertiv which launched as standalone business. The Vertiv's Trellis DCIM platform was the first to use real-time data to enhance data center management and has been recognized as a leader in every DCIM Magic Quadrant published by Gartner.

Interesting thing is I even could not find Avocent product from Vertiv's product page. Totally there are 13 products under IT management category, but ACS product line is not there. I managed to google and find one link which shows more this product at this link: https://www.vertivco.com/en-us/products-catalog/monitoring-control-and-management/it-management/avocent-acs-8000-serial-consoles/

It is pretty straightforward, launch ssh client, enter your switch ip and credential, you will be in the command line.

WAN optimization provides a range of features to: (1) improve the performance of applications running across the WAN; and (2) reduce the cost of the WAN. The range and scope of features supported by
WAN optimization solutions continue to evolve, typically in support of three high-level needs:

• Improve the response times as experienced by users of business-critical applications over WAN links or mobile connections, often addressing application performance problems caused by bandwidth constraints, latency or protocol limitations.
• Assist in maximizing the ROI for WAN bandwidth, and delay costly bandwidth upgrades.
• Optimize data-center-to-data-center (DC-to-DC) traffic for faster replication and synchronization.

Application delivery controllers (ADCs) are generally deployed in the data center and provide functions that optimize delivery of enterprise applications across the network. ADCs provide functionality for both user-to-application and application-to-application traffic. The ADC effectively bridges the gap between the application and underlying protocols and the traditional packet-based networks. The market evolved from load-balancing systems that were developed in the latter half of the 1990s to ensure the availability and scalability of websites. Enterprises use ADCs today to improve the following aspects of their applications:

• Availability
• Scalability
• End-user performance
• Data center resource utilization
• Security

Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting Market Definition/Description

What is Mobile Iron Sentry?

Mobile Iron Centry provides access control for email. Sentry connects to Microsoft ActiveSync-enabled email systems such as Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Notes, Google Gmail, and Microsoft Office 365. MobileIron Sentry  is an in-line gateway that manages, encrypts, and secures traffic between the mobile device and back-end enterprise systems. Like the VSP, it may be deployed as a physical hardware appliance or a virtual appliance using VMware ESX. Mobile Iron Sentry is included in the Mobile Iron Advanced Management package, though the hardware appliance is sold separately.

MobileIron's Mobile@Work App connects your Android device to your company network so that you can easily and securely access email and other work resources. Mobile@Work App works in conjunction with a MobileIron Core server deployed by your company’s IT organization. .


In this post, I am using sentry-mobileiron-7.0.1-29.iso to do installation into Vmware Workstation 10.
