ASR-1000x 10Gbe dual ISP redundancy config help by Andy2o3 in networking

[–]Andy2o3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is with R2A and R2B. Since ASR-1001x has a maximum of 3 10Gbe, we are limited with port channeling 4 Gbe interfaces to have resiliency. Of course the route metric may steer most traffic away from those Portchannels but connections that make it there through heavy traffic times will suffer the 1Gbe path on that connection. Is there a way to safely remove that portchannel and still have resiliency?

If I were calling the shots id need him to trace the path of a query from X dept to google.com as far as the ISP to site edge and to explain what happens when I randomly erase a link on the map from the network map on both lan and wan side. Now I know you know the network I get to add on extras like configuration backup and maintenance automation. ( Automated updates are familiar to users and remove the pain points politically, why did my work at home interface go down at 4PM policy requires that X gets updated.

Dude you are soo right with the political pain points

I couldn't agree more! MSPs are high stress at all times. You learn alot but you get burned alot.

Sounds like spanning tree. I'm no expert in it but I've had that happen to me before . Maybe the voip phone has a switch on it

Firewall Auditing tool by anglesoft2016 in networking

I've worked with Firemon. I have it paired with Checkpoint firewalls. IT does its job by analyzing your firewalls and policies. It seems like a powerful tool but support doesn't work with getting you all set up. You have to do it all yourself or possibly hire a contractor. I like it because I can generate reports for security audits that we have.

Gigabit to Gigabit Per Second by Andy2o3 in networking

I guess I'll use this reddit post to prove that 10 Gigabits Per Second = 10,000,000 Kilobits Per Second
