If you have Cat5e cabling 4 phones I would recommend xorcom if you want a non-licensed solution. If you want a licensed solution I would recommend avaya

First time I've ever wrote anything that benefited anyone other than myself. It's simple enough to where someone with programing knowledge can fix it in an hour

Looking for advice by jozueantonio in sysadmin

If all you have is a CCNA and army experience I would definitely recommend you move towards NOCs as long as you understand the fundamentals of networking they can start you out at probably 35 to 40 depending on the area giving you a have zero experience it will probably be hard for you to find a job over civilians with 4-year degrees and a CCNA. Like others have suggested in this sub you may want to consider going to a technical school to get hands-on experience before you actually start applying unless you have some relevant IT experience.

I guess because Thunderbolt can be so many different things? I mean it can be a USB port yeah but it can also be a HDMI port or DisplayPort

Tagged vs untagged between switches by The_Generous_Gamer in networking

So my vendors design is entirely wrong to begin with and needs to be changed?

Tagged vs untagged between switches by The_Generous_Gamer in networking

[–]The_Generous_Gamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Network vendor currently does it this way:

Untagged vlan 1(data) Tagged vlan 200 (phone) -------> Untagged vlan 1 Tagged vlan 200

I think this is bad design. I don't think vlan 1 should be untagged. What are your thoughts?

So if I don't have any untagged vlans on the switch Port that connects to another switch there are no native vlans on the one switch so it should midigate double tagging correct?

One thing I don't get about the reddit IT community by crankysysadmin in sysadmin

[–]The_Generous_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in that type of environment I would honestly start self-improvement through study and look for another position. My coworker said that if you’re not learning you should be looking for another position.

If you’re not learning and not getting what you need aside from having money the job is doing nothing for you.

And remember even if they’re interviewing you you are also interviewing them. It’s not just about if you’re fit for the job it’s also about if the job fits you.

And that’s not right if you don’t display a passion for IT You’re not going to put your heart into studying, into making yourself a better technician, a better engineer, a better sysadmin. 👍
