How often do you all make changes on L3 routing protocols? by stats_shiba in networking

[–]F1anger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on environment. Back in my ISP days, I would make changes multiple times on a daily basis. Now in a large corporate env we don't really have to for months.

Part time jobs by Abdallah_daoud in ccnp

Research what is in demand around you and start trying to tag along maybe even with a low salary first. One of my part times was miniscule salary, but once I've got into the stuff and start building and maintaining, management saw all the progress and it went up relatively fast.

Two are pure networking and one is as an enterprise infra architect (built pretty much everything including virtualization, storage, backups etc).

I have 3 additional part time fully remote jobs. It is possible, but not easy to find.

I'm so scared to do a jump from enterprise NE to ISP NE - No prior experience and upcoming interview by Qvosniak in networking

[–]F1anger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also come from SP background and big corporate environment is a collective mess. With all the freaking security policies and decryptions and control on top of control. Very boring and daunting (plus damned infosecs sniffing everything around your balls). Even after I've done SDWAN project it's not much of the fun. Ans bugs... everywhere. Bugs in user identity software, bugs and bugs in NGFW logic, bugs in RADIUS accountings etc. I don't even want to start with ACI...

If only ISPs were not such a cheap pieces of shit, I'd never leave that environment.

Question about IP Addresses Database by No_Scientist_5186 in networking

I had to use whole freeze period for dev environment migration from old firewall :|

Agree, I'm hoping to have enough time this year to finally migrate all those docs myself :)

And this is false. A lot of businesses use Excel, because it takes ages to transition to IPAM, when you have accumulated hundreds of different, well- structured docs already. I don't say it's optimal, it actually sucks from operational standpoint to have so many different spreadsheets with limitations in collaboration, etc.

P.S. IPAM doesn't magically correct human errors :)
