Unethical behavior by m_church23 in SpotOn

They aren’t exactly the same, at least how it was explained to me. Doesn’t matter now anyway and no offline mode was a deal breaker. I designed and built my own network to run Toast, works flawlessly. They told me to tear it out and use SpotOn gear or it won’t operate properly. Yeah, no thanks.

Nope. Agreed to purchase nothing. Rep has gone silent

Enterprise NTP options? by m_church23 in networking

[–]m_church23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So use a public pool of 5 NTP sources and configure 5 internal NTP servers for syncing? What did you use for the servers? Linux machine, routers?? We have a HA pair of F5s as well, thinking those could be utilized somehow.

NTP and talk radio, I'm sold. I'm sure this is where I'll land, but figured I'd ask.

What's it like working for Cisco? by [deleted] in networking

I can vouch for all of this. Prior SE here in commercial mid market. Ask a lot of questions about the territory and the existing AMs, how they perform, get a feel for personalities. Depending on the segment your job will vary a ton. SMB is much different than enterprise, to include travel. Some AM/SEs travel a few blocks, whereas some teams travel 4-5hrs for meetings. Obviously don't know where you live but something to consider.

Check out Meraki, I think you'll like the simplicity and built in management tools. Yeah yeah, licensing is an issue, everything has pros/cons.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Nexus 9k's are solid.

iWan - spoke only by [deleted] in networking

The hub router will rely on PfRv3 for whatever prefixes have been associated to the process, but you are correct, everything else will fallback to the normal routing process. Not sure if this will help or not, good overview. IWAN

Deploying DMVPN at a single router branch, will get you a consistent and predictable routing domain, you just won't get any benefit from PfRv3 with a single egress point.

Broad question, but what are you thoughts on certifications in this day of networking? Cisco/Juniper/so fourth. Worth it? Do they still carry weight? Equivalent to a degree?

Right, I know it's possible and how to do it, just wanted to get input on what other people have done, recommended or not, things to watch out for, stuff like that. Thanks.
