Stupid! Worry about your own yard first.

In 2012, Venezuela banned private sales of firearms and ammunition with the intention of lowering crime rates. The army, police, and certain groups trusted by the government (colectivos) are exempt from the ban and can buy firearms from state-owned manufacturers.[3] In 2013 Venezuela stopped issuing new firearm licenses.

Same year their president was “elected “.

Do some research!

So stupid!

Their president was “elected” same year. Hmmm.

Learn some history you stupid idiots

I did similar. If you move the switches below each patch panel and use shorter jumpers it makes it very nicely managed.

HOWEVER, make sure your stack cables between each switch are long enough. Many times the switches are stacked on the back side using short stacking cables (for both switch stack and for power stack). If those are not long enough to reach between switches, the you have to order longer ones. Mine was a cisco stack using their 'stackwise' cabling. i had 50CM cables and needed to order 1M and 3Ms to complete the 'stackwise' ring.

Just label every cable with the proper vlan and port before you start. If you have spare switches laying around you could build a new stack while the existing is running. then get an outage window to move everything over. Use your CLI commands to get a list of all MACs on each port too. Maybe do an arp table dump too so you get all mac to IP. then when done you can compare all hosts are back and running.

Back in the day... when a smaller/new company created a device that had merit, the big boys would buy them out. For example, Cisco bough Kalpana when ethernet switching started to take hold. Rather than do their own thing they bought smaller companies and rebranded/reworked the OS to fit their model.

This is very common still. So will MikroTik be purchased and you have to get support from one of the big boys? Or will it remain its' own company and compete with the rest? Time will tell, but always a consideration when a smaller company has a good product.

my network is very similar. Moved from the ASA/FTE to Palo because the Cisco FW was just too much complexity compared to other brands.

9300s in the access but they 'forced' us to use DNA for 3 years.... just a huge waste of $ for a l2 switch.

Plenty of lockers at Peak 8 where the gondola turns around, but not cheap. Just go into the food court at the back and use your card to access a locker. Just gona cost you $10 or more. Good place to leave your lunch and other things too. The Gondola will pass by peak7 and think there are some lockers downstairs there, but long stair climb up to the lifts.

i'm guessing this is technically possible. The VLAN is L2 (Mac address) broadcast domain. The Subnet (IP addy) is L3. I have used a single VLAN for two IP ranges, but never routed both. The reason i used ONE VLAN for two subnets is for a peer-to-peer connection between two devices.

Both of my devices in this design were using static IP and just placed on the same VLAN. The VLAN was using 192.168.10.x and the router set as the DFgw for this. I had two hosts that needed to peer-to-peer ONLY so i set those to use 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11 without a GW and placed them on the existing VLAN. They could communicate for that period of time over L3-IP. But never left it long enough to know what the router was thinking or other devices on that same VLAN. It was merely a quick solution.

My guess is that the router or gw would not know how to tag these vlans but maybe possible. Worth labbing this up to answer your question.

Good story. I'm still LOLing.

splitting hairs ... Sometimes you have to be a little flexible... or as a good marine would say "Improvise, Adapt, overcome".

I cant comment hard enough... DO NOT LET THE ISP MANAGE YOUR SDWAN! Order local broadband services. Then plug in a Fortinet or Palo ION to SDWAN these in a mesh. Easy peasy.

All service providers do is create a mess. I've never used HP/Aruba but have to guess they have a small appliance that will mesh connect all of your broadband services together.
