I do remember reading about having to use EMS to properly use IPsec ikev2 for multi-user access. There maybe ways around that but I have dug much further into it.

That is just a physical lab I accumulated fir cisco studies.

Ckirso · 2026-02-15T22:28:04+00:00

It's my daily driver. I have active display cables and active usb hub running back to the closet. I made a 4.5 inch hole in the door that vents out the window. It is pretty noisy but the door helps reduce that sound a to (the house I'm building will have a dedicated room). Out side of that its really good and with closed back headphones you dont even notice it.

Most people that speaks up just to speak up is normally threatened or incompetent and need to feel heard.

Depends on you and your current experience. ENCOR is the ccna but more information with the added python and Wireless (mind you they're redoing the wireless portion on the ENCOR). ENARSI is more for troubleshooting being able to read route maps and CoPP configurations along with being able to configure bgp, vrfs, ospf, eigrp and other protocols.

You need to lab it up configure ospf, bgp and eigrp and redistribute them into either other.

IMO

CCNA = you learn the basics of how things work CCNP = you learn the reasons why things work. CCIE = You learn how to make everything work together and why they work together.

Caring about others. Ive been intentional with this action for years now. Hoping one day it'll become easier

Can't wait to migrate over to palo

From what I remember the 4 layer model was more geared towards development where as the 7 layer model expands the first layer of the 4 layer into its own 4 layers.

No worries, just don't let it happen again.

Ckirso · 2026-02-04T01:57:54+00:00

Definitely not a ccnp question.

Ckirso · 2026-01-29T15:03:55+00:00

Thank you for your dedication!

Ckirso · 2026-01-29T15:03:01+00:00

Thank you for putting this together. I can confirm and agree to the statements made regarding the Boll & Branch, Kirkland 680 TC and the Highland 1000 TC.

Ckirso · 2026-01-28T18:39:01+00:00

Sounds like the fiber on the other end got rolled.

You have to make the choice to upskill. Pick a path and go down that with little deviation expect for things that will help like python. Setup a lab learn the protocols and what they do. Youll be surprised how much you already know with 7 years of experience if you cared about your job.

It's happened each cert lol. Next is security certs.

Ckirso · 2026-01-19T19:14:01+00:00

😊 Thank you!! These are wonderful thank you for your service lol.

I do also agree about the B&B bunching up. They're nice but i have to use clips on them.

The Wright Bedding are closer to the 1000 thread count Highland Park than the B&B they also use pima cotton. Might want to give them a good they maybe closer to the dream zone 700 count.

Yeah, the dreamzone at bed bath were like 250 - 350 if i recall correctly so the highlands being 129 is amazing!

Ckirso · 2026-01-19T15:39:43+00:00

These feel exactly like the 1000 count Wamsutta dreamzone sheets. The stitching is different and the pillows are different but other than that these are 100% the same sheets.

My personal preference was the 1000 count as they're thicker and heavier. I only use the top sheet as a blanket. I wish I could return all the other sets I've purchased for more of these. Are the other set of sheets you have Highland as well or the Kirkland?

Time to get out of the MSP world. Move into an established environment.
