Make sure your current TTL isn’t 24hrs at least 24hrs ahead of time… I’ve seen so many disorganized migrations have to get delayed due to the lack of forethought.

Glad you’re here!

Ah, so they are putting CentOS as a ‘test’ before RHEL. That sorta defeats the purpose of CentOS, but whatever.

Boooom Shaka laka

I thought Fedora —> RHEL —> CentOS, but I could be wrong.

Thanks, appreciate it.

If I’m reading this correctly, CentOS is no longer getting RHEL downstream code, essentially forking CentOS from RHEL. Not great news, but not suprising considering the IBM acquisition.

First word that came to my mind.

Like a sneaker-net, but in space! I like it!

If I had a niche in networking that I specialize in, it would be ‘border security.’ It makes me laugh that everyone in security markets zero trust and CASB and says networks are ‘borderless’ - it’s just not true. I am constantly dealing with borders between ‘fabrics’ and locations. Maybe I’m just a dullard, but I see the niche I am working in only become more important as we move to the cloud and distributed networking and security paradigms.

Depends on use case. 10Gbps between switches (core, distribution, and access) is fairly commonplace and cheap. Per access to the host… only new access switches have multi-Gig ports (1,2.5,5,10Gbps). Those are expensive and are reserved for wireless APs, IME, as they service more than just a host.

Ya know, it’s sorta funny that this kind of connectivity is what started ‘workgroup’ networks… ThickNet, ThinNet, etc. Ring topology is a good idea until you mix people and their computers in!

Finally getting solid documentation on the physical and logical topology of my station is exciting.

It’s the best. Watch out for hidden 4-port switches under desks… I swear those fuckers are like cockroaches.

Tell me you’re a provider without telling me you’re a provider.

Funneling the herd into the slaughterhouse.

Ha! At home I run a Ubiquiti stack with my lab hung off it (switches, ASA, FortiGate).
