Especially if you're trying to edit the running-config via voice...

KlasOS and trying to find command references and configuration guides for the red enclave on Voyager kits. Frustrating.

KlasOS is a "cisco-like" layer 3 switch CLI

What they fail to describe is that it is buggy as hell. Like if you delete major configs they will no longer show up in the "show run" output but they will still be there running in code until you reboot. Sometimes, they will still be there anyway after you reboot and the only option is to wipe it and completely reload the config.

Several hours of head scratching that I will never get back.

Is there a "really delete" switch you have to use with that?

Trying to convince a unit in the field that a disadvantaged (SATCOM) network sitting behind a TACLANE is definitely not going to achieve VoIP and web access capabilities with wild swings of 10% - 70% packet loss on the transport.

This has been going on for three days. They don't want to believe me 'cause SATCOM guy say "but the signal is good"

Weeks like this are when I perform the "is the money still worth it" calculation.

Just got finished with a scoping call when someone asks the question, "Are those APs independent or running off the WLCs?"

Because if running off WLCs, our scoping estimate still stands. We good.

If they are *independent* and we have to *manage* communications to *6000* APs...

Meeting with a different region was supposed to start 7 mins ago... if it was canceled, that would have been nice to know before I rearranged my evening around the call...

I try really hard to only accept meetings that were scheduled at least a full work day in advanced. Obviously exceptions for critical stuff, but I need to be able to plan my day, and pop-up meetings kill my productivity. Also pop-up meetings usually are not planned very well, and nothing really comes out of it except a lot of "I don't know I will have to find out and get back to you"

My rant for today? Comparing dates. I just can't get my head around it. Is yesterday less than today? or greater than? I just wrote the code to do this five minutes ago, but I already can't remember if my compare is > or <. It just does not make sense to me.

In vendorland, no one can hear you scream when you're on mute. But you gotta take the meetings when the customers call for them unless it's 100% not doable. When I'm dealing with good customers who need help quickly, I am flexible. We also tend to have an agenda like "finish the stuff we were working on yesterday", which helps to keep things on track.

Yesterday is less than today if you use yyyymmdd format. 20200901 is yesterday and that is less than today, 20200902. I use yyyymmdd format in the titles of all my time-sensitive documents.
