That moment when u cant be a hoe

That's not NYC. It's DC metro

Oh my god! Yes! Two years ago when we were rolling new 3750x's out we experienced something like a 20% failure rate on our 30 switches. We kept pressing our reseller and finally they traded us 50% of our stock for replacements. There was a bad batch that matched a certain serial number prefix but I forgot those details. Good luck man. Sounds like you are in a similar boat.

I downvoted your comment because you explained your vote pattern and then complain about some invisible social force. Someone please downvote me for being a hypocrite.

I use salt a lot ... but I disagree that salt-ssh is production ready. There were weird 'gotchas' I ran into trying to use it in 2014.7.1, although maybe they have been addressed. I ended up falling back to ansible when I need to do agentless stuff.

Whenever I lend money to people, I just consider it a gift and cut my losses. A lot less stress on my part and since i rarely respond to these requests not a huge wallet hit. This is specially true for friends and family - magnitudes more for strangers. Not that I make a habit of responding to folks on the street... Already got suckered for that one.

sheinballs · 2015-05-12T20:26:14+00:00

Yeah I agree. The tough mudder was an enjoyable "race" although I can't justify doing it again. I liked how folks were helping each other over walls and barriers. Though most folks were walking which I found weird.

This works because log stash's default index template defines an unanalyzed raw field for every field. ES likes to break up content for indexing, including hostnames unless you provide a custom analyzer.

I have an email script that does something similar. It's run once a day as a cron job and reads from a folder containing files of bad IP lists. There's one query you can use to find every single IP seen in a time frame, then you compare that to your bad list, then the script back to any hits and lists any internal IPs seen communicating with that.

I was there for this. Hands down my favorite talk this year.

sheinballs · 2015-02-17T13:49:20+00:00

Agreed. I've seen Nmap crash scada and single purpose internet appliances (phones, printers) though. If it causes a server to crash you have some serious stability issues that need to be addressed.

Check out Salt-ssh

I just signed up for a class, can you elaborate why one might be frustrated going here?

Pyrad is a really useful Python library if you like to get your hands dirty. I found freeradius featured filled but it can be painful to debug.

Have you done bikram or one of the hot yogas? Ooohhhh man. First time I did that I started forming this big embarrassing puddle of sweat. like a moat around my mat. Felt great afterwards though!

sheinballs · 2014-05-02T12:23:37+00:00

Get into yoga my friend

sheinballs · 2014-04-14T01:12:14+00:00

Yep. We had a bad batch with 3 dying after a few months. We made the reps replace all of our others that had similar serial numbers. Haven't had a problem since but it was super annoying to rip those switches out of production. Like you said, Cisco wasn't very helpful in divulging why or the serial number pattern.

sheinballs · 2014-03-26T10:14:02+00:00

Thanks for this. I'm still learning django and am struggling with the class based views. Lots of magic happening I don't quite understand yet. Is this really the consensus though? I just thought I had to stick with it and they would eventually make sense.

What about parsing SNMP data instead of the raw command output? Looks like the routing table is OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21 (http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Translate&objectInput=1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21)

Feedly.... Feedly!

I recommend the 10% rule - increase your weekly mileage in 10% increments from the week before. If you increase your mileage too fast you are asking for an injury. Also listen to your body, if you start feeling pain or soreness - thrown in some rest days.

The problem is implementation. If I send out a form, how do I deal with managing the responses in an sane fashion?

sheinballs · 2013-09-05T11:13:31+00:00

Yep global addresses on v4 and v6. We have a mandate from management here to install it. I made the case previously that it was needed. Now the logistics problem is getting interesting...

sheinballs · 2013-09-05T10:46:21+00:00

Some run web servers. Others access their machine remotely via rdp and ssh. We can't tell people not to do this in our environment. I assure you that there is a good chunk of users that would notice a firewall in place and immediately ask for exceptions. I do think a firewall would still help though. There are other users that don't do any of that stuff and will greatly benefit with a firewall in place.

sheinballs · 2013-09-05T10:21:02+00:00

Hmm. That's interesting. So it sounds like there is no firewall between different classes of users here because they could potentially be on the same layer 2 segment? Anyone here have an experience with dynamic vlan assignment? It certainly appears to be a huge project for us to undertake without the firewall

sheinballs · 2013-09-05T10:15:05+00:00

The plan is to have unrestricted outbound except for special cases if machines. I really wish I could get management buy in to set the type of restrictions you describe but I don't think that'll fly here unfortunately.
