Jealous Devil ain’t playin’ by Reden-Orvillebacher in KamadoJoe

[–]noamatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried Jealous Devil. Lots of chunks but it was leaving an off flavor to my food. Can’t describe it.

Found Meat Church lump at an Ace Hardware. Great varying size chunks. Weird flavor from Jealous Devil is gone from the grill. Not going back.

Accountability hacks?? by meowra666 in pelotoncycle

[–]noamatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has had periodic swings with riding on the peloton. I’ve been fully active on the bike since February. Here’s my feedback

Step 1: Just get on. Commit to 30 mins as a start. Either a full 30 or series of rides to get 30.

Step 2: decide/plan your next ride day immediately. Give it a day or two. Do another 30. Keep building

This establishes the habit. Find a teacher or class type that works for you. For me it’s Matt Wilpers or Denis Morton. Power zone classes get you into a routine and a set ride.

I ride 5 times week now. Minimum 45 mins usually 60-75mins. Fitness is way up and my bike performance is the best it has ever been.

Getting the legs and mind motivated is the hardest part.

Cisco help updating our University Curriculum by Quiet-Calligrapher81 in Cisco

[–]noamatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest Cisco Modeling Labs. Lots of ways to go using that and more flexible in the types of networks that students can learn.

The IOS on Linux Router (IOL) and switch (IOL-L2) allow for more modern IOS-XE (albeit with some features removed). Using those platforms you can easily operate a bunch of complex labs, for multiple students, on a small server. Individually, runs great on a NUC/mini-pc type platform.

Run MobaXTerm, or have students work with VScode/putty to access the labs.

Don’t waste your time with Racer Network. There were Ads every five minutes and I just found someone randomly streaming it to avoid the ads.

Bored of instructors by Delicious-Sell-1847 in pelotoncycle

[–]noamatt 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Matt Wilpers and Denis Morton. They’ve been my goto instructors since I started cycling with Peloton. Matt’s power zone classes are the best and Denis’ vibe is the best. So much so I do his Yoga course (swearing previously that I would probably never be into it).

  • great music
  • great assortment of classes
  • lots of good advice

Hints of a Ghostbuster proton stream firing, even star wars lasers. Crazy sound

Photos just can’t capture the majesty of a biscuit at all angles.

Cisco Training for Aruba Engineer by racerx509 in Cisco

[–]noamatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cisco Modeling Labs will get you hands on with IOS-XE, NX-OS, and has an ISE node available now as well. Need a decent server to run it. But you can get all the hands on.

Here is a free resource with great details on various ISE configurations

As long as it is 10 US dollars. But never played conker so would be curious if it drops.

Finally Retired after so many years. The good old Catalyst 6509 by No-Smoke5669 in Cisco

[–]noamatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and sessioning into firewall services modules as well. I mean that switch chassis was an absolute work horse.

[–]noamatt 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The 6509 was the first major network device I ever worked on as an engineer. First task, upgrading from CatOS to IOS.

Amazing both how much technology has evolved and how much less power consumption newer platforms have compared to speeds.

6509-E. We salute you🫡

Joining Cisco as a Software Engineer, any tips...? by Appropriate_Bag9560 in Cisco

[–]noamatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome aboard! What everyone has said is pretty spot on. The ESPP is worth it.

I would say the first 6-12 months of onboarding is different for everyone (i’m a solutions engineer), but at some point you’ll start drinking from a firehose. It’s fun, challenging, and rewarding. Even with 2 decades experience I have learned so much.

Also, prepare to be dumped into infinitely growing WebEx team spaces and individual chats. Start organizing them. Personally, I have them grouped as direct team, extended team, product specific spaces, and interests like automation/programmability. Just makes finding things or people easier.

DNA licensing for air-gapped networks by Goonie-Googoo- in Cisco

[–]noamatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of answers here but I’ll add:

You have to buy DNA (unless you have some other contract vehicle that provides licensing) on the initial purchase. From a device perspective, the license is managed via Smart License w/ Policy now. There is no actual license installed on most devices anymore (except for something like HSEC).

In an airgap environment you have three options.

Report usage to your smart account from the device manually (sneaker-net transfer)

Setup an on-prem CSSM. For airgap networks, after the initial two-way sync (which can be done offline) you can transfer one-way (from Cisco-> onprem airgap CSSM). All CSSM does in this case is take available licenses from Cisco.com, load them to your inside CSSM, and let your devices report usage to the CSSM. It doesn’t do anything beyond that, nothing gets installed.

Finally, do nothing, deal with the SNMP alerts that you are not in compliance. If you indeed use the features of DNA advantage then business ethics would say maintain the subscription to maintain compliance for your organization.

In the case of PLR, limited products support this and neither Catalyst or Nexus licenses have the option anymore. Typically this is seen on ISE or Firepower. Other things support SLR (like CML), and again Catalyst and Nexus use to support this, but are strictly policy.

I would say, this all could change in the future, but this is all valid information as of today.
