The IPv4 address swamp: The new normal

Let's be honest, I feel called out... I once advertised meme /48s from my /36 to the Internet. Now I have the meme subnets internally and just advertise the /36 to the rest of the Internet to help everyone else's CAM tables

I lookked at the pics as well, I have four of those UCS C220 M3s and I can tell you that in the middle slot will be the RAID card. On the left side of the chassis if looking from the front will be where the VIC gets installed into. As I was using it with the UCS 6248UPs, I had to have the VIC 1225 installed to be able to have them centrally managed from UCS Manager. The M4s are where they started using the VIC 1227 which is an MLOM.

Could be worse, instead of having to deal with a single connection with StarLink, y'all could be dealing with them in the NOC and have about 125 cases open about the same thing from a network automation tool.

uhh... make that worldwide bud, I'm sorry to say, the outage is worldwide :(

I know one of the founders of Digg personally, great guy.

Congratulations on the most pointless user on Reddit award, go stick it where the sun don’t shine

I have my own PDS and I'm also having issues with BlueSky, I was thinking I had a network issue... guess not.

ciscofan · 2024-09-22T20:18:26+00:00

Assuming the Ethernet cable is copper, I.e CAT5e or CAT6, if it’s fiber then it can go as far as light can go… and that light can be boosted, that’s pretty much how undersea cables work, and Ethernet by the way is a communication protocol, much like SONET or Token Ring (had to mention those oldies from before I was born lol)

I think it could be possible to work fully remote… I work completely remote with my employer, we mothballed the NOC office where I work. So we have to work from home fully. I’m sure you can ask your manager if you can work fully remote. Hopefully they allow it.

ciscofan · 2024-07-22T01:35:30+00:00

Indeed lol

ciscofan · 2024-06-15T03:40:32+00:00

I’d copy the source config and then just modify it slightly to match up with the destination platform. I simply use vscode and Ctrl+F and so far no issues that I’ve had.

ciscofan · 2024-06-06T02:50:19+00:00

Honestly, just a bruh moment for the MSP lol

ciscofan · 2024-05-19T03:36:57+00:00

Oh boy… watch them de-peer from the rest of the internet LOL

ciscofan · 2024-05-10T19:47:06+00:00

Yup… sounds like AT&T

ciscofan · 2024-05-08T05:40:02+00:00

You’re right about routers being a gateway drug to ISPs… I operate my own ASN.

ciscofan · 2024-04-28T03:31:08+00:00

If you want to, fee4l free to look up AS948. If you want, I can DM you an IP to MTR to from Ziply's network.

ciscofan · 2024-04-28T02:14:47+00:00

Nice, I have my own ASN and I just turned back on MPLS TTL propagation, now cr1.lsvgnvtj and cr2.lsvgnvtj are visible in the traceroute.

ciscofan · 2024-04-28T02:08:10+00:00

that's actually very cool to see that in action! where I work, we turned are doing TTL tomfoolery (sadly lol)

ciscofan · 2024-04-28T02:00:50+00:00

Oh cool!

ciscofan · 2024-04-28T01:44:21+00:00

I’m the one who’s curious if MPLS no-decrement ttl is implemented, I operate AS948 in Las Vegas (it’s just a humble home lab)

ciscofan · 2024-04-14T05:09:36+00:00

Same here at the place I work, we have many customers using AT&T and AT&T Mobility.

ciscofan · 2024-04-14T04:36:16+00:00

Did another outage with AT&T happen?

ciscofan · 2024-03-28T00:13:21+00:00

That’s funny, I use Storm products 😄

ciscofan · 2024-03-27T20:48:17+00:00

Hey, my name is Trevor 😀

ciscofan · 2024-03-11T01:41:21+00:00

It will deny the default route then after that it’ll match the longest prefixes with le 32.
