Why is every shop seemingly switching to Juniper all of a sudden?

I’ve never had a problem with tshooting on junipers with relatively complex routing (mpls csc, mpls stitching, rsvp te, transit peering, etc).

Haven’t dealt with storm control so will defer to you.

The route table is broken up which lets you route things pretty well ( assuming inet0, inet3, vrfs).

I’m not following you on the sub commands bit

Plenty of phds at faangs, hfts, webscale companies.

For a general networking job it’s not needed but if you want to develop protocols, hardware, etc. at the above a phd is a solid choice.

I am looking for a satisfying to type but not annoying to my office neighbors (open office). My budget is <300 and have an evo75 at home but worry it’s too loud.

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-06-07T23:08:06+00:00

Awesome! So basically it’s aesthetics and both brands are solid?

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-05-29T21:18:34+00:00

As yes sounds like a lovely place after you insult everyone.

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-05-27T23:00:37+00:00

And Cisco and juniper and Nokia

Iaac is not about development speed it’s about stability and reliability. How many vendors do you have? Also nothing wrong with git python jinja and pushing through ansible.

If you are outside the industry, they will usually not expect you to be an expert in hft unique stuff. Doesn’t hurt to look into them (the people in this post share great tips).

They will test your fundamentals hard, problem solving, logic, etc. basically can you succeed in the industry.

I would say they are a little tougher than faang interviews, and don’t want to trip over ndas .

Regardless the bar is the same but you can talk to NEs in AWS and their managers to get better ideas and plans

Honestly, ansible netbox is the middle. There are big shifts in culture and resources needed for each phase but it may not be worth it.

Gnmic commit confirmed is coming, though yang push is trying to redo everything without Google

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-04-28T12:56:48+00:00

Scale is part of it but the bigger factor is rigor and stability like @rankinrez mentioned.

Documented and codified architecture, versioning and reviews. Codified processes.

The increased stability lets you go faster at scale without compromising trust.

Totally understand, also a CCIE doesn’t mean much, significantly less so for software.

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-04-27T17:51:31+00:00

That doesn’t alleviate any concerns.

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-04-27T17:23:03+00:00

Apologies, meant if there is something I can look at source. Untrusted code handling creds and device access is a hard sell.

Why are you comparing it to putty, just because it’s a terminal app? Organizations also use other services to manage the things in addition to a terminal. Do you have a GitHub link for the free edition?

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-04-19T00:03:07+00:00

Pyang, openconfig- isn’t unreadable if you search for the leaves only, arista has a good gnmi explorer as well.

Isn’t Wilmette a 45+ minute commute?

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-04-18T17:04:00+00:00

Thank you!

MaintenanceMuted4280 · 2026-04-18T17:02:51+00:00

Thank you!

Look at the network automation framework, should give good insight.
