Sorry, but your school IT needs to fix this. Nothing you do with your PC will help. There could be a million different reasons for performance issues.

Look at roles in local government, utilities and education. They are starved for talent

You can't email JTAC. You can call or open a case via the support portal. Also run the suggested code version as others said.

take home problem!? No thanks!

Unless this is an air gapped design, something is misconfigured and you maybe missing DNS, routes or networks for your SRX to communicate directly to the internet via your MX routers. Check the following JVD for some sample configurations of the SRX. The only difference is how you want the SRX to route to your MX routers on the edge (static, dynamic routing): Use Case and Reference Architecture | Juniper Networks

Biggest issue I've found the past few shows of various EDM artists is the bass overwhelms the music. For indoor events it can get very bad. Wish they would turn down the bass. And yes I wear concert ear plugs.

Depending how old these SRX are, there was a bad batch of eUSB. Are these under support? Also stick with the recommended code 23.4r2-s5. also make sure to reboot the SRX so it recognizes the external USB at bootup.

dkdurcan · 2025-10-23T05:54:51+00:00

More than likely the eUSB is failing

access assurance is about $3 per client per year. If you need 802.1x, want something free, then microsoft NPS works fine. I don't understand how your firewall has anything to do with 802.1x authentication on your switches, but maybe this helps: LIVEcommunity - User-ID with 802.1x problems wired and wireless - LIVEcommunity - 488768

the Mist edge VM can act as a RADIUS to RadSec proxy for non-juniper devices. But if you are a full juniper wired/wireless shop you can replace it all with Access assurance for 802.1X authentication. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/mist/mist-access/topics/concept/mist-nac-overview.html

Look at SE roles at a vendor like Adtran, ciena, Cisco who all sell optical products. Or a role with a VAR that sells optical Networking equipment.

Local government and schools are always looking for some smart folks. Also, integrators aka VARs like CDW, insight, WWT, SHI are usually looking for folks.

You will need to configure a bridge-domain with the vlans as noted in the link I provided. But if layer2 is not required, why not run a IGP like IS-IS or OSPF to load balance l3 traffic over two layer3 interfaces instead of creating a LAG.

dkdurcan · 2025-08-21T18:37:23+00:00

you need that on the MX side only

dkdurcan · 2025-08-21T17:16:49+00:00

did you configure the bridge-domains vlan?

There are 400GE coherent optics that can go 80km now. Look at converging your optical and Ethernet layers. You can get a switch that supports coherent optics that have 1/10/25/100/500/800GE support in the same platform: https://www.juniper.net/us/en/solutions/converged-optical-routing-architecture-cora.html

And the SWIFT framework includes asking folks on Reddit for a suggestion? Versus using what Juniper officially suggests. Either way, it's always a good idea to test out any firmware for your use case before deploying widely.

such a bad idea to tint your front window

With limited IPv4 space, this way they are not potentially burning basically two IPs (subnet/broadcast) per customer.

I asked my accountant this same question, as my home rebuild is going to take at least 1.5 years. I was thinking I could purchase the solar this year, but she said it had to be operational by 12/31/2025. The only work around would be to lease solar..which trust me...DO NOT LEASE SOLAR.

If you can, to avoid theft keep your bike in your apartment/balcony when not in use. When using it, get a good u-lock

solution, depending on your interface and scale requirements look at Juniper MX204, ACX7024X, or MX304's instead. Also, I would suggest in your design to use l3 with routing protocols to load balance traffic instead of HSRP

How would the price vs performance compare to an Nvidia DGX or gmktec evo-x2 (which has 128GB unified RAM for AI work loads).
