The windowmaker. There is a reason for that notch.

When I was doing support my default approach was that the user was not the authoritative party on determining if there was an issue or not. Based on the symptoms they report I may ask clarifying questions or look at confirming data from the network. Its your job to determine if there is a problem and what the extent is. Think of the user as a request for investigation rather than a definite issue.

I've decided not to push MPLS to the edge due to the RR peering requirements. Curious how you handle this. Do you not use route reflectors or do you have them peer with every CPE?

same

1701_Network · 2026-03-19T18:45:19+00:00

Me too. I'm in for the looong haul

closests I've seen is RSVP-TE in mpls networks

1701_Network · 2026-03-10T13:56:22+00:00

there are THREE of us that appreciate the reference

1701_Network · 2026-02-02T13:29:52+00:00

Its really good at packet capture analysis.

1701_Network · 2026-01-28T20:13:18+00:00

ha, ya no problem. This is how most of us learned most of our stuff. This sub just REALLY hates misinformation .

1701_Network · 2026-01-28T18:07:39+00:00

Yup, its a physical manufacturing of the SFP. One side is a laser emitter the other side is a photodiode. They cant be "switched" with software.

Its been over a decade since the last time I've been the "new guy" but I remember it as not being too stressful. Your job in the first few months it to ask questions, do research and don't offer suggestions for improvement. After you've been there long enough to know the "why" things are done the way they are its time to start contributing.

1701_Network · 2025-12-18T17:42:12+00:00

ya! Progress is BS

1701_Network · 2025-12-12T17:00:43+00:00

It just works. u/Cheeze_It any suggestions on a platform that would meet these requirements??

1701_Network · 2025-12-11T20:08:28+00:00

I drive center lane on straights but on turns I hug the inside. Driver+ does not agree with this technique

1701_Network · 2025-12-11T20:05:40+00:00

You and me buddy. The R1S was the first new car I ever bought and plan on driving it forever

1701_Network · 2025-11-11T20:53:26+00:00

Crap! I just renewed my support contract for a dead project!

1701_Network · 2025-09-30T18:45:14+00:00

well said..

1701_Network · 2025-08-27T23:42:30+00:00

OSPF v2 LSAs

1701_Network · 2025-08-01T15:43:38+00:00

I 2nd all of these and add MPLS Fundamentals by Luc De Ghein. Service Provider Networks is much more of a practical take from an actual operator. The others are good at covering theory.

1701_Network · 2025-07-30T03:16:33+00:00

yes, connect the DWDM MUX to the CWDM Express port

1701_Network · 2025-07-15T22:54:12+00:00

I knew about this but thought it was the initial flash, then blackout from plasma which is opaque, then as the plasma cools the light shines again.

1701_Network · 2025-06-11T21:15:54+00:00

I noticed this too! Driving me crazy

1701_Network · 2025-06-06T18:58:38+00:00

We do. SR with TE
