Connecting console port using tab


Peace,

This time my question was unanswered by Google. May be the thing I am looking for does not exist (till date).

Since the world of computing is changing so fast, PCs being replaced by laptops, and now laptops being replaced by tabs, etc. I wanted to know if I can connect a tab(ipad/Galaxy tab or any other android tab ) to console port of a switch/router.

Although there are apps like PuTTy in App Store and Android Market, and I know there are USB ports on tabs and there are Serial-to-USB converters available in market. But are there any drivers available for those converters designed for any tabs? In short, can I connect to switch/router's console port using tabs?

What is the difference between BackTrack and Kali Linux?

So recently, a new flavor of Linux had been introduced as Kali Linux and is being advertised on Backtrack website. What is this fuss all about? What is Kali Linux and why are Backtrack guys advertising it. To know the answer, read below. Kali Linux is the Next-Generation Backtrack Linux. Or as some people might say, Backtrack Linux 6.0 = Kali Linux 1.0 So why did they changed the name of the distribution and created the confusion in the first place? The main reason was that the new release of Backtrack (i.e., Kali Linux now onwards) is a very different and advance version . It has many differences as compared to the original Backtrack distribution, and hence, using the same name with new version number would not do justice to their work. Hence they came up with a new name. Now the question arises, what are the main differences (upgrades) in Kali Linux as compared to the original Backtrack Linux? To know the answer, see what the documentation at Kali Linux says here ...

How to get shortcodes (plugs) for zeebizzcard theme working

Image
I recently ran into problem with zeebizzcard theme for WordPress, where I was unable to enter the shortcode for "plugs", which displays Personal Details in very nice way. I posted the issue to themezee (creator of zeebizzcard theme) on facebook and even on wordpress support. I got no answer from them or from any other. The theme is so good that I did not wanted to move to other theme. But if your home page is not as you wish, you might get the feeling to move to some other theme completely. With no support from anywhere, I decided to dig the code of the theme (though I am no programmer). Within couple of days, I got the solution. Note: The solution on this page for shortcodes on ZeeBizzCard will work only with writing very little amount of code (text), for which explanation is given below, and is not implied to make the buttons work.   To get the Personal Details  on a page when the shortcode on the WordPress editor (buttons) is not working, first make ...

HP ProCurve VRRP with different Physical and Virtual IP address

In case you are having HP ProCurve Core Switches, and need to configure redundancy on it, you need to configure VRRP to achieve it. I will assume you have the knowledge of HSRP for this post. Somehow, HP ProCurve switches does not support a separate Virtual IP address than the Physical IP address for VRRP. Although, many other vendors do support it (Virtual IP being different than the Physical IP addresses (in the same network)). HP ProCurve requires that the Virtual IP address to be the same as the Master's Physical IP address. I am not sure why they want us to enforce the Virtual IP address being the same as Master's Physical IP address, since this creates issues, especially in Monitoring software. For e.g., you want to monitor both Cores by their IP address. Since they are running VRRP, and if master fails, the Master's IP address will still show as "UP", since the virtual IP (which is same as Master's Physical IP address) has shifted to the Backup/S...
