default route ::0/0 wasn't propagating, next hop wasn't available on the active, but it was on the standby. Fail over fixed it temporarily.

So I am in China helping the locals migrate off of a flat /21 to a properly designed network. While here I am taken to visit another location of ours and find that the core switch is an unmanaged netgear. lol.....this trip is very eye opening and sometimes sad all at once.

I followed most of the steps without issue but I get stuck here.

Check the integrity of the image, possibly restart process if there are issues with image integrity? https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/fxos/fxos221/cli-guide/b_CLI_ConfigGuide_FXOS_221/image_management.html#topic_903C3296477343699E65B97FB6EB5FE8

yeah, I found that link yesterday, and was going through it , unfortunately I don' t have access to download the image.....somebody forgot to add SmartNet to the PO for our new 4110's*. so I've got to go around through the back door and get entitlement.

* oh, that's another good frustration

All day long, I've been trying to get ESXi on my lab server without using a DVD. Finally got it on by juggling boot order for the HDDs and getting it on a bootable flash drive.

Dell iDRAC could have saved me, but for incompatible Java versions.

Java... Java makes me say...

Customer is frustrated with internal processes, then I get frustrated, too.

We share the sad.

:boohoo:

Then the PM gets engaged and finds out we're behind schedule and we face, together:

my work laptop crashed earlier in the week,  1/2 recovered with some old backups  but lost alot of data. The desktop tech was able to access  the hard drive and scrape off some important files I needed. I've been living off a loaner for a few days living in a hazy cloud waiting for my laptop to be reimaged, then I've got to spend half a day reinstalling all the custom configurations I had been running.

See Today I learned thread for more....
