INTRODUCTION This post attempts to explain the difference between multi-threading and multi-processing in simple terms, and uses visualization to clarify the distinction. MULTI-THREADING PROGRAMMING Multithreading programming is a powerful technique that allows a program to perform multiple tasks concurrently. By dividing a program into multiple threads, the program can utilize the processing power of multiple [...]
INTRODUCTION This blog post aims to compare sequential and asynchronous programming in Python and demonstrate how to convert a sequential program to an asynchronous one. SEQUENTIAL PROGRAMMING Sequential programming is a traditional programming paradigm where the program instructions are executed sequentially, one after the other. This means that each instruction is executed in order, and [...]
Regular expressions (regex) are a powerful tool for matching patterns in text. They can be used in Python to search, replace, and manipulate strings. In this blog post, we will explore the basics of regular expressions in Python, and provide some examples of how to use them. USING REGULAR EXPRESSIONS IN PYTHON In Python, the [...]
Naming cable notes in Ekahau is quite a manual process. You have to enter your note description at the end of drawing the cable note on the map. What I like to do on my projects is rename the cable notes in the following way: "IDF-1 to AP01". We then re-use this description in our [...]
When you change the type of external antenna used by an AP in Ekahau, the name of the AP model is not updated to reflect that new external antenna name: So this simple script aims to update the name of the AP models in order for them to reflect the name of the external antenna [...]
Ekahau released a new version (v10.2) last month. The best feature out of this new version (for me at least) is the ability to create personalized tags for AP objects. Each tag can have a key and a value. Here is an example: DESCRIPTION My good friend Haydn Andrews had the idea to create a [...]
I have been using the python library called pySerial and wanted to share how I made it work on my end. I have used it to establish a console connection to a Cisco AP in order to perform send the initial set of configurations within a python script and automate the process. I will only [...]
In a first video, I explain everything you need to create your first API call to the Mist system dashboard. In order to make this API call, I use an application called Postman. Postman allows you to build your API calls in a very easy way. This is useful to test the API calls, make [...]
When I perform Wi-Fi validation or Wi-Fi assessments, I like to take pictures of the access points and document it later. I also save these pictures and provide them to the customer. Lately, with the use of the Ekahau survey application on iPad, I have been attaching these pictures to an AP object on my [...]
This is a very simple article just explaining how you can connect to a Cisco WLC (aireos) using a python script. You could use this as a first step in developing more advanced Python scripts to monitor or configure your Cisco Wireless Lan Controllers. I am still learning Python so this might not be the [...]
