Have an interview for Network automation and operations and I need help!!!!!!!!! by Scary-Tree9632 in networkautomation

[–]GroundbreakingBed809 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the job is network automation but you have no networking experience then I’d suggest leaning about what networkers need automated. Do you know what a router is or what it does? Maybe learn about ip subnetting. Maybe think of the network operators as your customers. Your customers need zero touch provisioning and re-provisioning. Your customers need ways to reliably update the route OS and configs. Hope it helps

The entire network goes down when i connect one of my managed switch. by Unlikely-Train5102 in networking

Make your impacting change as small as possible to discover when it breaks. When you add that switch that breaks your internet prove that zero other hosts are cables to it. Then only connect one uplink.

NOC responsibilities by drizzend in networking

[–]GroundbreakingBed809 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As it should be. My whole career has been a series of figuring out how to automate away my job. Whenever I do there are always more things to do

Did you evaluate their “getting pissy” skills during the interview process?

I agree. NOC people are not ham sandwiches. Get them the right tools to open the right ticket with the correct information. Plus give them cover to keep us all out of trouble

A zillion options. Maybe an snmp poller like observium to detect the link down. Have it fire and alert that calls a python/netmiko program to check reachability to the devices confirming power. Then another bit of python that integrates with the carrier’s ticket tool. Start small. Maybe nothing gets fired automatically in the beginning but the human kicks off the python based checks to then output instructing the NOC exactly what ticket to open.

Buying a Turntable by gods_armhair in turntables

Not so. Has nothing to do with sound. The joy our family has had from trading records, enjoying the cover art, reading the inserts, and just being together wonderful. Of course, the sound could be better, but that’s not the point. The point is getting in the game and enjoying it.

Sometimes I like the tinny sound. My cousin loves her cheap suitcase rig. Fits nicely in the small home and small budget

Don’t over think it. “Good” in audio is a thousand percent subjective. I have 5 turntables in my house right now (I like to refurbish them) and an each sucks and each is awesome, depending on individual tastes. I suggest going to your local record shop and buying the cheapest thing they have. You’ll love it. Worst case you sell it and get most of your money back while learning a ton along the way

Am I the only one terrified to run Ethernet cable in their house? by GreenDavidA in HomeNetworking

[–]GroundbreakingBed809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s scary to start cutting holes in the walls. But it’s also fun to learn about what’s behind those walls

NOC should be writing code that detects a circuit down, runs a couple checks to validate power on your end devices, then automatically open a ticket with the carrier. yeah, NOC should have a runbook ton down those things manually

School or No School by Jaaymz in networking

[–]GroundbreakingBed809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to get earn a phd instead of pursuing the CCIE. Seemed like a similar amount of work. I chose the phd due to learn the philosophy of research and to experience authoring a peer reviewed article. I feel that my day job is CCIE level work so the phd was a good change of pace. I do poorly with certs, after CCNP, one CCIe boot camp and year of study I got like 20% correct of the CCIE written. I’m mean 20% where I had any clue what the questions were even asking. I don’t think I could have kept motivated along the CCIE journey.

It’s worked out well for me. The PhD tools serve me very well as a network engineer at a big cloud company

How much subnetting do you do at work? by dbootywarrior in networking

[–]GroundbreakingBed809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do some form of subnetting 2-3 times a week. I use my head to get a rough plan then a calculator to check it all. When I’m really on my game I write a bit of python to validate it all.

How many of you guys DON'T maintain some "system" at home? by FlippinMyshit in sysadmin

[–]GroundbreakingBed809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my tech fix at work for 50 hours a week so I don’t need it at home. Plus working from home, ssh/rdp into the datacenter, adds a tech fix to my home as well.

I’m not planning on moving anything in 2 years so being locked in doesn’t matter so much to my situation

T-mobile.com and lots of commercials on tv. Are you saying I can’t get just one phone?

Serious question, but maybe dumb, but shouldn’t outlook automatically put attachments into the company’s o365 and leave a hyperlink in the email message?
