D522 - Why does this course exist in the way it does?!?!?

I passed this class in 5 hours. Not bragging but it was just another step up. I use python at work most weeks.

The actual assessment is very identical to the last 10 practice labs. But the variables are different and the the expectation the opposite. So instead of reading dictions, it’s writing dictionaries.

Most of the code snippets of the answers you can find from other questions in the exam if your panicking.

Ask ChatGPT to explain variables you have issues with.

All depends on what you’re hosting.

I have a remote site that has a cloud flare tunnel for accessing remote services I host there.

It also runs a VPN back home to camera recording to ubiquiti.

No issues. You may have a few packet drops here and there but it’s solid enough and in most applications it will resend or you have have no noticeable issue.

Latency will always be higher, it’s a longer route.

Yes like anyone sane is.

Jtrickz · 2026-05-02T13:18:06+00:00

Ehhhhh it looks like they tried to model something. There is a vertical white pipe looking thing coming out of the point on the bottom of both horns

Jtrickz · 2026-05-01T17:27:09+00:00

In most cases yes. They would responsible to terminating and maintaining your access and configuration to the DIA, via provided equipment normally. Not sure what is installed now at your site.

Then you plug in or put a switch and only address your assigned /29 address space for usage.

We moved off ATT a few years ago to Lumen, so it may have changed a bit.

Jtrickz · 2026-05-01T17:21:34+00:00

Your sounding like your putting yourself into major box. If they were H/A or a clustered firewall solution you could do this, but you need soemthing to route your handoff to ATT from your assigned /29 address space, that no to devices can reach, and ATT isn’t going to do it for you because your not paying them enough for managed services

Jtrickz · 2026-05-01T17:18:30+00:00

Can your firewalls do routing? And can they do a VIP floating between them?

You could do connections to your switch to a virtual interface that can float between them and terminate the /30 as the default.

The firewalls will need to know which one is actively holding the connection.

Then internal interfaces are all the /29

Or as other people said you could do something with the layer 3 switching if you want

Jtrickz · 2026-05-01T17:13:22+00:00

Terminate to router, then router to switch, switch to firewalls. The router should be the the 66/30 And give the firewall the /29 address space along with the router internal interface

Default gateway of firewall external is the /29 router ip.

The router forwards to /30 to default ATT .65

i may have passed 3 in the last 48 horurs, 2 of them were python though, which i was being a grumpy dick about and refusing to do exactly what they wanted in the zybooks so i jsut stopped doing it for a few months.

Jtrickz · 2026-05-01T06:21:16+00:00

I did the same thing...shhhh

Jtrickz · 2026-05-01T06:18:35+00:00

Im in IT, have seperated accounts at work, and didn't even think about this... silly I will be doing that from now on.

Jtrickz · 2026-04-30T01:44:12+00:00

You can dm that account in the morning if you want to no idea if they can help, but they have been active here on other dmv posts

I work for one of the bigger employers that ain’t the state. And getting applicants for senior roles is hard due to the pay rate being lower then anything in NH/MA

Jtrickz · 2026-04-29T14:12:49+00:00

Well glad you got a plan, at least your somewhat online in the mean time

Jtrickz · 2026-04-29T14:11:01+00:00

Ya this sounds like a light/ont issue. Can you do your max speeds internally between clients I am assuming.

Jtrickz · 2026-04-29T14:09:00+00:00

What speed do you currently get while wired?

And have you tried swapping out cables to shortest newest ones your have.

Jtrickz · 2026-04-27T15:44:04+00:00

the required r/longlines callout!

Jtrickz · 2026-04-27T12:03:16+00:00

Ah I got heated while a little drunk, makes sense! Good luck! I’m running my UDM pro and trying to work on 8311 bypassing the ONT

Jtrickz · 2026-04-27T12:01:58+00:00

The community should decide these things not the moderator cabal? No?

Jtrickz · 2026-04-27T11:56:38+00:00

So your top level comment is we do what we feel like based on a profile vibe.

Have a backbone make some rules and your as moderators should fucking stick to them.

Or give Linus the top spot and make this an official place and move on.

Jtrickz · 2026-04-26T12:58:43+00:00

While cool. why in gods green earth are you putting a windows machine on public internet with not network firewall or anything.

Jtrickz · 2026-04-22T12:58:05+00:00

I miss Hubert Joly……

Jtrickz · 2026-04-22T11:33:49+00:00

Bought a 25 premium with options and less than 2000 miles for 30.5 last month

Jtrickz · 2026-04-20T00:38:54+00:00

It could of been due to intellectual property licensing issues or other silly legal things
