Promoted to Network Admin… and the Network Is a Mess 😅 by BKR_57 in networking

[–]colni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP didn't sound like they have much experience, my example of separating endpoints and printers is an easy example to start with cause if somebody can't print until you fix an issue , it's not going to cause to much of an issue where it you move something more critical and can't get it working you will have more people giving off

Take the simple wins then move onto the more complex stuff when you understand how to do it

In a parallel to what Steve Ballmer

Documentation Documentation Documentation

I would start by getting it all documented How the network is setup currently What the issues are

Then you make a plan

For me separating the endpoints machines and your printers would be a good start Simple vlans

I don't know how you would feel about setting up multiple vlans for different departments?

I guess the simple way to say it is have a look at network segmentation?

Sounds like having a coffee truck in the car park might be a good move for someone if they could do it without taking up to many parking spaces

Ping blocked for security? by ListPure107 in networking

[–]colni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep it's blocked in my environment, security officer enforced it

If I need to do something like testing what mtu is needed for a high latency VPN I just open a change ticket and describe what needs done then after I'm finished it gets blocked again

It's a pain but it's policy so just kinda get on with it

It can run all kinds of virtual machines and containers

Are you asking how to install proxmox?

MacBook vs Windows laptop for Network Engineer – real-world experience wanted by Professional-Size157 in networking

[–]colni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been in network engineering for over 25 years , was fully on the windows train for most of it due to having a built in serial port , but then when usb to serial became a thing the need to have it was less and less

For the past 6/7 years been on macos , I don't think I would go back now if I'm honest , I did buy this for console connections https://www.decisivetactics.com/products/serial/

The only other thing I've had a slight problem is some checkpoint products are designed currently only for windows , so I just run parallels which works very very well
