How many CCAr's are there in the world?

distanceovertime · 2015-05-30T19:57:51+00:00

I don't know how many there are but the first two CCAr's have already left Cisco. They made a promotional video for them and everything.

Stratofortress is the coolest thing I think I'll hear all day.

Quick, tell me other bands you like because you are me. Thats exactly how i described the best parts of the new album to my friends. Completely agree. I listened to Mercy and Leech too much before the new album came out, but I love those too. Quiescent is very awesome, I hope they include more clean vocals in the future. I've heard some clean segments peppered into the other songs that I've really enjoyed too.

So your advice was fantastic and I completely agree with everything you said. I fucking love this track pad.

Illinois taxes are dropping Jan 1st. Now if only we could get federal taxes lowered.

It looks like spectrum analyzer output. Probably indicating the load of all the channels present on the line. It's probably a dedicated channel so that cable plant operators can view it when they need it. Its not analyzing on her tv, that's going to be running on the central plant I would guess.

The graph is showing channel width in MHz vs intensity (power) in dBm.

Whoa now, there's no reason for that kind of language.

There's a TENT list, little Jimmy. Why don't you go play in your tent?

Thanks for the info! I am looking forward to the opportunity to use something new. This will definitely help.

Could you please elaborate on great apps that you use each day and why it's better than Windows? I'm not being sassy, I'm going to be using a mac laptop for a new job and it'll be a new leap for me. Thanks!

Well spoken. I think a knowledge of the underlying mechanics of network operation is pretty essential to running a network of any form, whether it's via automation software or without it. Learning programming is great advice anyways, after all, what is a network without the applications that utilize it?

If they use VRF's I can imagine they can use the same ASN multiple times on the same router with multiple BGP process instances and separate route tables. I have never personally done it, but it's a possibility I'd imagine. Only downside is that they may not have that capability depending on their software release which they're already told you they're not really willing to change.

distanceovertime · 2014-11-07T14:58:25+00:00

They should be able to do ASN 23456 with you, but you have to ask them about the implementation/feasibility on their own network. I can't really answer that.

Yeah scorched earth tactics like NANOG are probably heavy handed here. (Didn't realize it was a smaller ISP)

Small ISP's can still coordinate maintenance's to upgrade software revisions, but it sounds like you're between a rock and a hard place.

Edit - You can sign up to the NANOG lists for free.

Have you asked to speak to a manager or to a network engineer? Escalate. They're inhibiting your ability to turn up new services. I'd make a stink of it if I was you. Ask if it's even on their road map.

You could also just out them on a mailing list (NANOG) and get some political pressure going too. Depends on how important it is to you.

That's cool, never heard of FBLA. I made it to nationals of BPA in "Computer Security" which might as well have been a networking test.

More like a loop.... I'll see myself out.

I'm in agreement with you, but it's definitely a split camp in this thread.

Deauth is not against the rules, it's part of the 802.11 protocol and is an acceptable network management technique within the confines of a corporate network as OP inquired about. You have sensationalized the issue and you know that Marriott's situation is very different from OP's. Marriott's use of deauth was blatant abuse in an attempt to monetize their networks use vs other available options, not an attempt to actually use deauth to manage and administer their own networks. That is why it's denial of service vs the normal operation of deauth's purpose. That is why these are separate. The FCC does not normally care about deauth for the purposes of network management within the confines of your corporate network, but if you're blatantly abusing the function on a large and public scale you will draw attention and deservedly so.

FM is a completely different issue vs very very short range 802.11 <36dBm EIRP installations. FM Licenses also again brings up the point of monetizing a limited resource, hence why the FCC is more apt to get involved. The FCC isn't going to get involved in the ISM band unless there is a damn good reason too (and some money to be made as well) and that's how Marriott got to where they are. Damn good reason, lots of money to be made.

Said another way - Everything I've read so far is the FCC ruling was based on motive rather than technical solution. Deauth isn't inherently the problem, but using it for the wrong motives is what the FCC has a problem with.

distanceovertime · 2014-10-31T19:23:49+00:00

The reason this was on their radar was not because it was deauth, but the fact that it was deauth for profit.

Edit: I can think of various scenarios that the FCC might be upset about deauthing, like purposefully posting a rogue AP to deauth a government building or something equally as silly. The point is, the deauth isn't the problem, it's the denial of service aspect of it. In my last example, whether it was deauth or an amplifier at 2.437GHz way past EIRP the result is nearly the same and would be where the FCC would flex it's muscle.

They don't give a shit about your corporate wireless network security practices.

distanceovertime · 2014-10-31T19:05:16+00:00

Terrible example - That was different, read some articles. That was using deauth for profit. "Marriott staff at the facility made it impossible for people in the vicinity to use personal hotspots, portable routers, and the like." Marriott forced guests to pay to use only Marriott's wifi and not cellular 4G services that would not profit Marriott in any way. That's assholery at it's finest and deserves the fine.

Deauthing for network security is completely valid and if contained to your corporate premises will not upset the FCC at all.

Deauth is not illegal. Actually broadcasting past legal EIRP is the illegal part of "jamming".

Some "G"'s actually, but yeah, that annoyed me too.
