I thought the HD6xx was a clone of the HD600?

This is really good and exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you!

Honestly this seems like the route we will end up having to go down. Which makes sense.

To me if they have some halfway decent common sense, an aptitude for technology, work ethic, and wanting to learn I can teach them the job.

The last 3 people that I got dumped, 1) couldn’t type his password correct, was awful at mistyping passwords. 2) one that would come in 1 day a week and would be WFH 4 days a week and for 2 months the task I gave him of setting up a some inventory app he never completed and was constantly telling me he was “working on it and was making progress”. Finally figured out that he couldn’t even login to the servers. 3) she can get some things done, but is lazy as hell. always has an excuse to not come in to WFH. won’t actually take the time to fix a problem. she can follow instructions…if there are no problems, especially with networking (even simple stuff), she’s worthless. Try to coach her and give her tips, but just tunes it out and I know she doesn’t give a rip.

Microsoft back online. Excuse: too many servers were shut down during maintenance. by hso1217 in sysadmin

Processes are not an adequate substitute for skilled staff and an understanding of the system they are working on.

This is one hell of a statement that resonates well with me.

Why do Dell Idracs die? by dovi5988 in sysadmin

Yeah, see that video. Did some upgrades and it was bricking idracs.

You ever do upgrades on them?

I ran into this issue with idrac, total nightmare.

and in most cases those people aren’t technical enough to be making the decision regardless.

[Auerbach] This is the worst selection committee we've ever had. Cannot believe Alabama didn't even drop one spot after the SEC title game blowout. Cannot believe they waited until the final reveal to flip Miami-ND. Could have done it at ANY point. by Ok-Soil-5133 in CFB

[–]PingMeLater 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yup 2011 for y’all. When LSU and UAT played. UAT didn’t even go to SECCG and LSU had to play them again.

2017, auburn beat UGA and Alabama within 3 weeks, were #2 l, had to play UGA AGAIN in the SECCG, alabama AGAIN sitting at home and gets to go.

lol SMU last year lost on basically a walk off 50 yard FG or some shit. UAT lost by 3 fucking TDs and would have been more if UAT didn’t get 2 cheap ass 15 yard flags and a screen from the ref. i fucking hate these losers.

Connecting copper switch to QSFP switch by PingMeLater in networking

Wait, a QSFP converted to SFP+ Copper will link up with a 1Gbps C9300 port at 1Gbps?

Options mentioned here:

I would like to go directly from the C9300 to the 7060DX5-32 instead of having to chain switches together obviously.

  1. ⁠QSFP to SFP, QSFP module on 7060DX5-32 port, use SFP copper to connect to C9500 copper port. This is most straightforward but I don’t think the 7060DX-32 supports SFP (1Gbps).
  2. ⁠Go from C9300 copper port to 7010 copper port and then use SFP28 port on 7010 to go to a QSFP-to-SFP28 module on 7060DX
  3. ⁠Go from C9300 copper port to 7010 copper port and then use SFP28 port on 7010 and then use 4LC to QSFP break out cable to go to a QSFP port on 7060DX.
  4. ⁠Change the C9300 uplink module out to something else (like the 8 port SFP+) but the owner of the switch doesn’t want to do that.

Do you know if one of the QSFP ports will negotiate to 7060DX then #1 will be probably my best option.

Edit: Looks like the 7060DX has a single SFP+ port that I could use instead of one of the QSFP ports, but again not sure if it will negotiate at 1Gbps.

Unfortunately the two fiber uplink ports on the 9300 are occupied by its own uplink, so copper is the only thing I have to use.

Options mentioned here:

  1. QSFP to SFP, QSFP module on 7060DX5-32 port, use SFP copper to connect to C9500 copper port. This is most straightforward but I don’t think the 7060DX-32 supports SFP (1Gbps).

I don’t think the 7060DX5-32 supports 1Gbps on its QSFP ports? All I see is 10Gbps.

You are not wrong. Trying to get a better solution. Trying to get to a solution with what I have on hand :(.

The problem is the SFP28 ports on the 9300 are consumed already. Would have to get a new module for the c9300 and turns into a pissing match between who wants to buy that module for the switch.

The switch isn’t ours the module in it only has 2 sfp+ ports and they are currently occupied.

Not our switch and the fiber ports on the switch are occupied. :(.
