COME HANG OUT WITH ME! (OH)NUG Cleveland is this Thursday 7/10 at the Wild Eagle, 5001 E Royalton Rd, Broadview Heights, OH 44147. Free food, free drink and a big helping of network knowledge. Sign up here: www.usnua.com/ohnug-clevel.... Space is filling fast! #OHNUG #USNUA @usnua.com
We had an excellent turnout at the KC USNUA inaugural event last week! I met a bunch of new people and I am really excited on where this will go in the future!

Lab 4 is the culmination of the past two labs. We can now migrate workflows from our legacy network to our new network with minimal downtime.
The goals of this lab are the following:

Looking forward to the feedback on Lab 3 and to see everyone tomorrow at the MO NUG Event in KC:

In lab 3, you will build upon the dynamic routing in lab 2 and expand this to the edge.
The goals of this lab are the following:
1. Enable BGP on campus-edge-01 with Arista cEOS

one at a time, to the new network in a non-disruptive way.
A lesson learned that you don't want to burn a bridge if you don't have to.
I'll use tomorrow to post lab 3, rather than double posting today.

To continue on the VAR discussion from yesterday.
At this point, I knew that this VAR wasn't going to help with the long-term solution, but I still needed their help.
Just to reiterate, the network was a hub and spoke with a spanned

Part 2 of this conversation tomorrow.

One of the most important things that you can do as a Network Architect is to cultivate a relationships with worthwhile VARs.
A VAR is a "Value-Added Reseller." They act as the glue between your organization and a set of manufacturers.

This post is 10% of the way, and I have a lot of other topics to write about. I will probably change the cadence to 2 to 3 posts a week following the event.

I had someone ask me the other day, "why are you writing about all this stuff?"
This whole process has been helpful to get my thoughts together for the keynote at the inaugural KC NUG event next Thursday, 4/10.
#SiliconPrairie #USNUA #Networking #NetworkingIsCool
a friend asked me about these posts.
Looking forward to the feedback on Lab 2!

In lab 2, you'll configure dynamic routing, using OSPF, on top of the same lab 1 topology.
The goals of this lab are the following:

basically pulled a fast one to get the students to connect to the 802.1X network.
I'll post the second lab tomorrow which will focus on changing the spanned L2 network into an L3, OSPF-based, design.

Let's talk about what steps we took to fix the wireless issues with the three competing systems.
First, we took an inventory of where the three wireless systems were geographically installed. The third system, with the lowest density,
#SiliconPrairie #USNUA #Networking #NetworkingIsCool
But, we did not have to wait for the underlying wired network and fiber to get sorted to start improving this.
I'm going to push the lab until Thursday, as I want to talk more about the wireless strategy tomorrow.
#SiliconPrairie #USNUA #Networking #NetworkingIsCool

I next pivoted to the wireless network.
What I'm about to describe is something I have not seen in a long, long time. Often, you may have one primary wireless network and maybe a second as part of a transition or a Proof of Concept.

- that same type of breaker is what they had to do when the network looped.
Ha, I swear this will turn into a happy story. Tomorrow I'll talk about the wireless network and on Wednesday I'll post the second lab.
#SiliconPrairie #USNUA #Networking #NetworkingIsCool
I began building the next two labs over this past weekend, and it brought back a lot of good memories as I virtually recreated the work the team and I did at the University.
And, to come back to where we were on Friday.

ICYMI US Networking User Association Overview with Jason Gintert @BitsinFlight.com @TechFieldDay.com #NFD37 #USNUA
"Oh yeah, we installed that in the 90s!" We would then get that right into the monitoring system.
On Monday we will start talking about triaging the wired LAN and Tuesday a discussion about the wireless LAN.

What would happen to the entire topology if a loop occurred at the furthest router?
I'm going to talk more about triage in my post tomorrow.
Looking forward to the feedback on this lab!

I'll then be discussing the first part of the presentation on Friday when I focus on triaging.
I'm curious what you think. Drop it in the chat on what lessons you learned when you moved from a Network Engineer into a Network Architect?

Tomorrow I'm going to discuss the first part of the presentation on the journey from an engineer to an architect. On Thursday I'll share the first lab for those who want to give it a try.

Thanks to the @techfieldday.com team for letting me share the latest with the @usnua.com! Be sure to check it out to learn more. #NFD37 #USNUA

For the local network engineers that couldn't make the US Networking User Association (OH)NUG meeting last Thursday, I worked up a quick summary of the event. Don't miss the next one! 😊 www.bitsinflight.com/network-nerd...
