Current frustration...

Anyways, Active / Active is the way to go either in a clustered routed solution and share state in a routing protocol fashon.  A popular one now a days is the mac redirection ie have the virtual address between FW's and the FW it self redirects the mac address session by session.

when you send out 2 week notice for an maintenance window. notifying users of possible outage and what will be affected
the maintenance window is discussed at the CCB prior to the maintenance, and everyone is aware and on board.
when the maintenance is done, customers still complain that something went down and want to know what happened.

grrrr.

[deanwebb]

Just tell them that the interruption only affected users that were torrenting furry pr0n. Then ask for the names of everyone impacted.

I was this user recently. Saw the notice. Ignored it because it was pretty routine. They send the reminder notification the day of, and I ignored that because I was busy. They bounced my linux box, and I lost a few hours of work. I really wanted to rant at the guy who bounced my machine, but it was my fault. Also the hours of work lost actually was mostly me learning the correct command line options for curl and scp to do what I wanted so recreating it was much faster the second time.

My rant for today is property management. Got an email "Hey we can't find these devices do you know where they are?" The list is just model numbers, no serial numbers. "I have about 50 of those which ones can't you find?" Reply email has a list with location. Hmmm, nobody has touched that rack of gear for awhile. The network is up so nobody stole it. I am pretty sure it is there. They are going to go look again. I am 99% sure that they did not look at the back of the rack (you know where switches get mounted for ToR). Next week I will get the email they can't find any PDUs. This is a regular occurrence.

Going through a WLC at a remote location installed by a third party (Cisco partner). All APs set to power level 1, all fixed on the same channel.

[wintermute000]

are you sure it wasn't a meru partner? :p
I just had a long argument with a junior colleague who had just done Meru training but no wireless knowledge in general and just could not grasp why single channel arch is a hack just to save on one piece of work (proper cell placement/channel design). Not even when I described it as 'so do you want a hub with vendor magic sauce to time the transmissions to minimise collisions, OR, a switch'. At the end I nearly threw the CWNA textbook at him.


I know the original motivation for SCA was roaming but let's face it, that's solved ('good enough') with various fast roaming techniques, rendering it a completely pointless exercise to defy the laws of physics

[icecream-guy]

not sure if it's on my part or theirs

Them: I need 5 ips in zzz network

Me:  you don't have enough available

-- time passes

Them: can we get a new network assigned?

Me:  Yes

-- I do the research to find a nice little network, submit it to the keepers of the IP Address,
have them create the new network in the system and have 5 ip's assigned.

-- time passes

Them: we can't reach out servers in the new network, nor ping the default gateway

-- troubleshoot
(ok so I forgot to add the VLAN to the VPC trunk on the 5K's)  they can ping wining their network

-- more time passes

Them: we can't access any of our resources on any other network

Me: Did you submit a firewall request?

Them:   No

Me: well there are no firewall rules to allow off network traffic

- generously comb through the firewall ACLs and put in some rules that I think would work (knowing nothing about any of the hosts in the network

Me: Are you good now ?

Them: can we get a firewall audit to help us determine how the ACL rules need to be configured

Me: Ok

-- provide them with a firewall audit

-- more time passes

-- and they've already been hinting on a load balancer configuration for the new network

Editing entries for 95 new WLCs in my RADIUS server.

Editing entries for 95 new WLCs in my RADIUS server.

Adding them as clients not sufficient? Are you doing anything client-specific in the policies?

[deanwebb]

Each has its own little snowflake of a config, including hostname and RADIUS shared secret. The RADIUS server allows for an easy import of IP addresses, but not hostnames or shared secrets.

Just finished the WLCs, now it's time for those bastard autonomous APs...
