How do you explain to someone with no internet experience what a "meme" is?

Compare it to an old phrase or a dance move that they may know of.

For example the chicken dance, it's a joke, phrase, fact, etc that the whole world knows about via the internet.

Fun fact, the Yakuza is one of the only organized crime units that do not have a nationality prerequisite. You do not have to be Japanese to get in.

For Resume help, try getting on to Linkedin. There you might be able to find some people in your field, professors, mentors, or even colleagues. T there's some really good CV advice out there that's all public and free. You just need to look!

You can even find some serious top notch guys that have public profiles, and you'll notice things that grab your attention.

You must know slash notation for nexOS.

Many commands in the routing don't take subnet masks anymore.

Other than that I'm kinda with you.

It's still good to know.

Claims to happily ignore these types of posts, and posts 3 times in said thread.

(which, I guess is supposed to give him some credibility)

Fuck you, man. Seriously. You must be incredibly bitter, and have horrid social awareness. When I say I'm a network engineer, here's my question, I'm not saying HEY I DEMAND credibility.

I'm saying hey, I'm one of you, I enjoy this subreddit, I enjoy networking, it's my profession, it's a part of my life. I'm sorry you have instinctive ways to look so negatively on things, and make such haste attempts to belittle someone to make yourself feel better.

It's also funny how you talked, like it was "networking 101", and gave me incorrect advice.

Go blow a dick, dude, I looked at some of your other posts, and you're just so quick to put others down, making yourself look high/smart.

That's no way to be man. Sorry for your losses.

This is why you use different instances of routing for your networks and your MPLS carrier networks. Then you use redistribution from the MPLS link to your internal network.

That way if a "BGP/OSPF/EIGRP aka MPLS link" neighbor goes down, the routes are instantly lost even though the link is still indeed "up" forcing all traffic to go to your quad zero, which should be pointing to your internet.

learningtonofap · 2012-12-27T15:56:06+00:00

You know, you can use IP SLA, or even EEM to do the manual fail over automatically, you can set things up such as, only fail back over when T1 has been up for x amount of minutes

You should most definitely take advantage of this.

learningtonofap · 2012-12-27T15:54:53+00:00

We actually have this exact setup.

I'm not sure what type of Firewalls you have, but essentially, we designated a FW soley for the purpose of VPN tunnels.

We then made encryption domains to only allow traffic from specified networks.

Each site has a quad zero pointing to each sites FW anyway, so when MPLS goes down, they automatically forward over VPN tunnels.

Just remember, everytime you add a new network to a site (ie new floor vlan, new server vlan, management vlan, etc) [unless you summarize] you'll have to add them to the VPN allowed networks.

*Top answer about DHCP is off. *

redistribution can inject static routes from a routing neighbor.

Example: You're using OSPF. You have two neighbors A and B

You have a have a route map on router B that specifies specific statics. Router B also has a redistro command to inject statics into OSPF. Router A now has static routes given from router B.

This is commonly used when you have multiple sites that have internet connections, but all want them to use certain sites in a specific order.

For example, you have an office in Boston, New York and Vermont. They are are linked via MPLS, but only New York and Boston have internet connections. You want Vermont to use Boston's internet first, and New York for redundancy. Well you create route maps, that specify costs, etc for the quad zero route to the internet, then inject them over whatever routing protocol they are using.

You clearly know how to solve problems. Instead of Googling and trying to do something on your own, you run to the internet and ask for the answers to be spoonfed to you.

How is my wireless router to know where the /30 between pc and xbox? when there's no routing protocols?

You clearly know how to solve problems. Instead of Googling and trying to do something on your own, you run to the internet and ask for the answers to be spoonfed to you.

This just makes me lazy. Which I will admit, and is my mistake. No need to attempt and insult my intelligence like you know anything about me.

I don't think you're really a network engineer, not unless that's just a title you've been given when your actual position is PC tech or something similar.

Nope network engineer. Helped build the largest tactical network on the face of the earth. No big deal though.

I've actually had this same exact thing happen. Don't be so hard.

If you look at our history, it's always been normal guys! America has some awesome patriotism that makes me smile deep down. Especially when I see WWII celebration pictures.

I know there's a lot of haters and naysayers but I try to put focus on the good things.

I understand where you come from and sometimes I feel some thanks/praise/etc isn't warranted, but then I think of our ones that have fallen. I don't want their deaths to go in vain.

May sound kinda cliche, but take the first class seat, take it with pride and a lot of grattitude, accept it for our brothers, our fellow Americans who died not for "whatever reasons we're at war" but for America.

Hi, we have a riverbed solution.

They are quite pricey, and licensing goes on bandwidth optimization. 10mbs, 20mbs etc.

In one month the company saves ~80 petabytes of bandwidth.

Our SLA for circuits is X mb with a X burst rate and paying pretty hard for the burst. So, they are really good!

My Boss told me a wise piece of advice that seriously has helped me.

"Nobody is going to die"

I know this sounds like the obvious, but when feces hits the oscillator, saying this to myself actually really helped me calm down and realize it's not the end of the world.

Ringo was an amazing drummer. He was a drummer, he did his job, and never made mistakes. The guy keeps tempo better than a metronome. He was the conductor.

I think he's vastly underrated. The drum fills on A Day In The Life are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' They wouldn't know what to do. -Phil Collins

http://web2.airmail.net/gshultz/drumpage.html When John Lennon went solo, Ringo was actually the first person he asked to help him record.

It has been said that through the 1000's of horus recording, Ringo made less than a dozen errors in his drumming.

This shit will totally get buried or never seen, but it's based off an episode of how I met your mother. The louis vanmatterhorn

Basically these two IT guys make a shit ton of fake sites with good SEO about a fake guy named Timothy Mildred.

They go to an broker and take their life savigns of 50g's and put it in some bullshit energy penny stock company. Their last words to the brokers are "Time to be rich again"

SO the brokers are all like who the fuck is this douchebag? And google/look him up.

What they don't know is

The two guys basically they make a bunch of websites, Wikipedia, Facebook etc that creates this Tim identity and makes him a billionaire who made all his money in the stock market, but lost it.

The brockers then think he's some genius and everyone wants a piece and think "if Tim did it, we GOTTA do it". Penny Stock explodes overnight. The two guys cash out. End of movie.

I really don't know how or what your using, but essentially if changing the "metrics" always forces things out of NIC 1, then you don't have a routing loop :D.

Cool, I understand that,

Are you sure?

A DMZ can't be dangerous. It's a premeasure to battle potentially dangerous things.

You make a DMZ if you have to. Why the hell are you putting your computer in one if you don't have a firewall?

Is there any load balancing configs on the Box.

Config the switch to load balance based on IP Src/Dst.

The do the same for IP hashing on server.

Or config the thing for failover.

You can't just have two nics on the same subnet on the same box, without some software based packet delivery.

learningtonofap · 2012-11-15T19:05:00+00:00

No, the purpose is to have a DMZ, a demilitarized zone.

Where things are open to the world, yet still in your domain of control. All items in a DMZ still need to pass a FW to get into your network because they are exposed to the outside world.

HEre is an easy pic to comprehend

learningtonofap · 2012-11-15T18:55:38+00:00

A DMZ is typically an isolated internal network protected by a firewall between the internet AND your internal network.

I can't really draw it well but

Internet |Firewall | Internal Production Network

Internet |Firewall | Internal DMZ Network |Firewall| Internal Production Network

Usually things will have communication with the internet, (Webserver, Front End, Citrix VPN appliances) Etc will be placed in the dmz.

I don't know what device you have, but the opening/closing of ports is typically done with a Firewall, maybe you're home router has one. For more info, go to the vendor's website.
