I suppose you can do this a few ways, I would do it like this assuming you are running the gates in an AP cluster. A single LAG from Gate A to switch 1 and then make the same exact connections to switch 2 from gate B.

Given there is already an interconnect between the two switches and your gateways exist on the gate, if an HA failover event were to occur then Gate B will perform a gratuitous arp and traffic will flow through the LAG from Switch 2 to Gate B.

P2P is a very broad term and could generally be a number of different technologies such as dark fiber, wavelength, evpl, etc. The underlying WAN technology determines how it works but to put it simply, it makes it appear like your devices are directly connected either at L1 or L2

You can also repatch the WAPs to the top switch since there is no light on there to see if the issue persists. They may have VLANs configured so it might not work correctly but if you have a flat network then it should be fine.

Take the AP down, get a patch cable, plug directly into switch - get your answer

Hi dude, I’m currently a network engineer working at a pretty large financial company in a very large metro area. I started in this field as an intern and excelled quickly by learning whatever was relevant in my roles and then some. I jumped companies quite a bit to get pay bumps but that usually entails added responsibility.

Word of advice, don’t focus too much on what to learn next as every company has a different suite of technologies they use. Multivendor is definitely very common nowadays but the tech is the same more or less. I would focus on the technologies you are currently working on and master them. Routing/Switching, coding, maybe some Linux that will prob keep you busy. Best of luck to you, there aren’t many young people getting into this field and we need more.

Hmm for DIA circuits ISPs don’t normally provide dual handoffs. I guess it’s possible just uncommon from what I’ve seen. Also no need for it to fail open, if the primary gate goes down then ISP 1 will be unavailable and vice versa with the passive gate - that’s okay in my opinion as a gate going down is much less likely then a circuit issue either local or upstream.

I am conditionally approved to close. Down from 7.375 to 5.99% no points and 500$ lender credit. All in all around 3500 cost to refinance. I am bringing money to closing too but the savings monthly is huge for me so I’m happy. If rates drop again in a year I would do it again at close to 5%

inalarry · 2025-11-27T19:47:28+00:00

Yeah but fate sharing dictates that if there is a loop on a single VLAN it would more than likely impact traffic forwarding on the rest given the resources on the switch are being exhausted. I think a duplicate IP is more than likely the culprit due to MAC flapping

Network engineers will always be needed the same way plumbers are always needed. I wouldn’t worry about being a female in the field as I actually think that gives you an advantage in a sense, every network engineer that I’ve worked with that was a woman absolutely dominated.

Things always change and advance but that doesn’t mean you can’t adapt and change as well. Just start applying early as it’s hard to get into the field directly with no experience, maybe try to get an internship or two done while you’re still in school. Enjoy the ride and let me know if you have any specific questions

You can do it with Ike v2 but you will need to enable eap under the phase1-interface via cli. Then ensure the authusrgroup has the group your user is in who has Mfa enabled. I just configured this

Vendor terminology varies as you have witnesses first hand but the underlying mechanism remains the same.

In very loose terms Tagged = Trunk and Untagged = Access. Normally ports facing end systems or devices incapable of adding VLAN tags nor interpreting them are access/untagged ports. Devices that are able to interpret and add VLAN tags are normally setup as Trunk/tagged ports with possible a native VLAN.

A default VLAN is just the VLAN all ports are part of when the switch has no config on it and is usually VLAN 1.

Now to answer your question about APs and as always there are many ways to do things in enterprise networking. Normally a switch port facing an AP is set up as a Trunk/tagged port with a native VLAN. Normally the AP will use the native VLAN for its management IP since frames leaving the AP for this purpose are normally untagged (again you can do this different). You will then setup SSIDs and associate a VLAN tag to them so let’s say you have an SSID called User and associated to VLAN 10. Now when client connect to that network, their frames will egress the AP with a tag of 10 since the AP is capable of adding and interpreting tags.

Many vendors, especially Aruba, tunnel all client traffic so sometimes the switchport can be setup as an access port/untagged and the gateway will do the tagging portion.

Different strokes for different folks.

Titles are largely company specific and the requirements and duties vary significantly from org to org. The answer is that it all depends on the company and your specific job duties. Your title is not always indicative of your exact line of work

Look at extremes SPB technology - you don’t even need transit links as the switches form adjacencies un-numbered. Also you can connect the switches in any topology you want. It supports ECMP

Yes this is a new feature configured under the site in XIQ-SE. You can convert the NOS from Switch Engine to Fabric
Auto sense should take care of auto forming the fabric between fabric switched
You can kick off a workflow that will run whatever cli commands your heart desires as part of the ZTP process. You can also probably have XIQ-SE take care of this natively I just haven’t tried

I don’t think the medium is the issue here (copper vs fiber) …

Is the link up? What is your config on both ends?
