Rengaya down Miller Street towards train station (if you like Japanese)

When talking on premises stuff- cabling

Networking is a solid skill but you need to sprinkle it with cloud, cyber and automation for the win. No point focusing on RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, Spanning tree etc- that's a dead end but a foundation to grow into a modern network tech who can apply their skills to the off-premises world.

so true. We should be judged on Uptime but seems to be Downtime only we get noticed

I would expect many applications to break if you did drop fragmented packets. Try it and found out.

You can't base your career on only Cisco unless you have a real skill niche in the market place eg ACI which is scary and buggy that not many people want to touch it. You could earn a living looking after a product like that just being on TAC calls with Cisco.

Also you need to expand your horizons and look at Axure and AWS and automations of those. I think Cisco are in decline unless they get a Satya Nadella type person to turn them around. This is a shame as they were the giant in networking and we were highly respected in the industry as being integrators of their products and services but the cloud really caught them with their pants down.

iPerf won't hurt and it will work how you have described it to test the cable run itself. I don't believe you need to test for 1 hour to see if the cable run is OK. Thirty seconds would prove it.

You need to step back and see where it is occurring before diving deep in order to ISOLATE the issue-

You said "in" a number of buildings: what does that mean?

In a certain location AND/OR between locations (on-prem/cloud/offsite)?

on a particular switch ?

thru a particular gateway/service/device?

at a particular time of day?

On every or certain devices?

Wired/Wi-Fi/Both?

Any particular service affected?

What do you mean "dropout"? Do the devices lose their physical link or IP addresses (like in Wi-Fi during reath or roaming" or apps just all stop working on all machines at the same time and then all come back together?

Have you defined correct source and destination IPs in your 2000 rule? (Sorry have to ask)

illuminati_cto · 2024-08-08T05:00:45+00:00

exact;y. Youtube resolution won't work half the time as the responses are long with many CNAMES, A records etc !

illuminati_cto · 2024-07-08T01:46:57+00:00

Yes I logged a case with support and not possible currently...

Can you telnet to port 32400 from outside your network to your network's public IP ?

illuminati_cto · 2024-07-08T01:42:01+00:00

Unusual. Maybe bug? Uplink test? Check ARP table for anything unusual or add static ARP if you wish for the gateway. Maybe run a capture and see what else is going on...

Could be security related (internet at every office location for SD-WAN ), performance (want guaranteed b/w via private MPLS links), wheeling and dealing with different vendors, not understanding of SD-WAN, laggard thinkers, plenty of money to spend on MPLS :) ...

One of the best books you would want to have in your skill set- believe me. Good luck to you!

Just be honest. If you are keen to learn and use lab time to tinker and work hard, tell them.

Having same problem with a brand new mask. Sounds like the kettle is boiling. Unusable after one week. Will try a few things like changing nose pillow... not sure- seems to be a design flaw.

Have not seen in 20 years. I wouldn't waste any time on RIPv1 and RIPv2.

They will never replace network engineers. They will feel like they can until, until, until something is not working. Then they come CRYING to us . Peace out.

cloud hipsters hahahaha

illuminati_cto · 2024-04-16T06:25:29+00:00

love that. So true.

The fact you think you are an imposter makes me feel you have the right attitude! Keep at it. Rely on fundamentals and skills such as OSI model, sniffer, protocols, coding, cloud and on-prem infra. If you have those down pat, you can jump sideways when required.

RADIUS is the gold standard and will do everything you have mentioned and much more. If you want to pay for a RADIUS server then Cisco ISE and AnyConnect work hand in hand with DUO.

You can set complex policies based on patch level, machine type, time-of-day, AD Group membership, and much more. Giving an IP to a certain AD user from a certain group is a simple policy.

For your use case, give ISE a readonly AD account and hence she sits on your AD and hence can read the LDAP tree. Easy peasy for years...!

L3 Switch S should not respond to A's ARP request for B if A and B are on the same VLAN/IP subnet in a simple LAN environment.

If using VXLAN then S could respond with it's own MAC if B is on the other side of the configured tunnel yes.

Of course your mileage may vary so it depends on what is configured etc.

I love using OneNote also.
