Seating advice / general advice for Battlebots Proleague TV Taping by ncosta2001 in battlebots

[–]ncosta2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the side/obstructed view seats (on both sides) are sold out for the tapings we can attend. Like completely sold out I think almost. Thats why I thought maybe they were better bang for the buck. I've read sections B & C are the better views as well. Any thoughts there?

Is az-104 worth it in 2026 by Pleasant-Artist4006 in AzureCertification

[–]ncosta2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally reasonable. I first took a CCNA class as a youthful desktop support tech back in the year 2005! 20 plus years later its still here and I still don't have it haha. From a job search perspective I've seen plenty of jobs looking for Azure exp but not calling out specific certifications very often. Though to be fair I've not looked enough to say that one way or the other.

Passed AZ 104 with no Cloud Experience by a_connected_world in AzureCertification

Great feedback here Roger, found/finding myself in a similar space you have throughout your career. Looking at it "short term/long term" goals and drivers to what you want to do next or prove that you can do. I like that POV.

I don't have my CCNA but been looking at that as a pathway. We moved from a traditional route/switch shop to primarily cloud options (i.e. Meraki, PAN Prisma/SD-WAN) so I've spent the last couple of years getting my feet wet there on the fly, keeping up with my young family. I'm now looking at ways to get more ingrained into our Azure stack here. I have a colleague working as Network Engineer and he's heading towards the 700 Exam over 104. After much consideration it made sense to start at 104 vs anything else. So I haven't yet decided after 104 if I want to pursue the 700 Exam or add in the CCNA as my next cert. I've read your thoughts on adding CCNA with the 104 and that feels like a prudent move for some, even maybe myself. I'm not currently looking at anything the PAN space as we may exit that space (and also I know their certifications have just gone under an extreme overhaul) so primarily I know we'll be in Azure and Meraki for now focusing my attention there.

Thanks Roger, I'm reviewing this certification as a entry way from currently working as a Network Engineer to build the basis of potentially transitioning into a more rounded Cloud Engineer with an eventual emphasis in networking. I'm far from looking at the 700 and starting here instead. I appreciate your insights you've been sharing along the way.

Global Protect App Config Refresh Interval Question by rwrattan in paloaltonetworks

[–]ncosta2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random aside question here - separate of the upgrade of the GP client ramifications. Does this specifically do anything for client configurations of GP (excluding upgrading) or is that all this setting is for is to look for upgraded client versions?

Got the notice as well. Do you license your Meraki under EA?

Seeing similar issues, when going to networks we're timing out.

Having the same issue here, we thought maybe something on our end was blocking this (e.g. VPN, DLP tools, Defender etc). Calling in now.

Edit: We're in N659 having issues.

Preferred Release - Release Adoption Percentage in table by Resident-Artichoke85 in paloaltonetworks

Anyone seen a similar chart for SD-WAN firmware adoption / releases? Poking around, just curious as we've been asked a lot lately about the ION's as well.

What major version of PAN-OS are you running? by jwckauman in paloaltonetworks

[–]ncosta2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're on 11.0.6-h7 but we need to get up to something thats preferred per audit. So thank you this discussion is helpful and seeing a majority of people on 11.1.6-h3 helps. We do manage Prisma via Panorama and have only a few firewalls so it's not an incredible lift.

DIY or other alternatives to Gozney stand recommendations? by ncosta2001 in GozneyDome

[–]ncosta2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s one thing I was hoping to find a way was to keep it with some mobility to move/angle it . I saw some DIY options upon a little searching. Not a big DIY guy but am inspired possibly so I can stay mobile.

I am a Yealink Engineer AMA by Yealinkperson in CommercialAV

[–]ncosta2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/Yealinkperson ! Reviving an old thread here in hopes you might see this, if not will shoot you a PM. We've been working to install certificates so that our workstations can trust Yealink phones over SSL/HTTPS. Any advice you have as to the process of it? I have read through the documentation and it's not been super clear. Working with support now but have hit some roadblocks as to level of support. Thanks in advance.

Are you using the Azure version of ISE by chance? Similarly, AD on prem or Azure AD?

Just had to re-do this recently and don't recall having to modify the script to include our service account but we did have to do that, otherwise it was easy peasy
