... that moment when you discover that the clients in the CBD area are nothing at all like the clients in the production environment...

:wall:

CBD guys are all virtualized... and I think they either have the services I need for NAC turned off, or there's a VBlock firewall blocking traffic on the ports I need. Either way, that's not what we have in the real world, even though CBD is supposed to be just like our production environment...

OHHHHHHH man don't get me started on that... I worked at a place where the ENTIRE point of the ENTIRE BUILDING was to test new solutions in a mock-up environment that was supposed to exactly match what was in production.  It was FAR from that, and as someone who worked in engineering it was insanely frustrating trying to deal with that and then trying to deal with the pissed off (and rightly so) operations guys because yet again there was some big hang-up with trying to implement an engineered solution into production.

Good Lord.

Got CBD to be working "good enough" and then tested it on my own box in production.

Ready for the corporate rollout.

Are your vmware jockeys aware that a distributed vswitch can do ACLs

No. They are not.

And neither do they want to find out.

Then who will be left to do the needful?

This topic sums it up quite nicely: http://jathan.com/2009/07/29/checkpoint-firewalls-can-suck-my-whole-ass/

Reading that makes me feel not so bad about the periodic java issues with ASDM... and makes me LOVE my Tufin even more.

Fun fact: Tufin was made by former Checkpoint guys who were tired of the way those firewalls update. It provisions code and ships it out to the firewalls very nicely. I recommend it strongly as a very delighted customer.

Bought myself a shiny new EX-2200C switch so I  start adding all the basics, snmp strings, syslog, etc. Suddenly it crashes and reboots, then this comes up at boot

Java based management applications
:developers:
:glitch:

Why do they have to make them in java? Java gets out of date a week after they release a version. At which point you can't run the management app. unless you update. When you update you find that the new version is not compatible with the management application. Java to put it simply is completely useless. I still cannot connect to one of my netapp controllers because I can't get oncommand system manager to run properly.

Java based applications that give me grief:

  • Effing all of them
  • All of them I say!
