| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 09:38 AM PDT Recently the server guy in my team has been proposing to reboot the 6509 core switches as a matter of practice in order to "clear stuff out". As of last night, core1 was up for two years, four months, and core2 has been up for seven years, five months. I'm not sure why there is a mis-match on the uptimes. Is this a good idea to perform a "maintenance" reboot just because? [link] [comments] |
| What is the best way to document company network? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 09:32 AM PDT Hi fellow redditors, I am network engineer for one small company. Recently my company started growing very fast. Currently I document our network by drawing diagrams using draw.io. As our network becomes very complex, I wonder if there is a better solution? [link] [comments] |

| Do you give your loopbacks a description? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 11:43 PM PDT Talking about loopback interfaces on routers. Do you add an interface description? If so what? I think this is one thing that has enough wiggle room to be unique and entertaining. The two we use are "INDEPENDENT_INTERFACE" and "I_AM_AN_INTERFACE_THAT_NEVER_GOES_DOWN" Hahahaha! Edit: I'm not looking for suggestions on what to call my loopbacks. I'm looking for the descriptions you give to yours. For entertainment. Nerd shit. [link] [comments] |
| Wireless roaming from Cisco to Aruba Posted: 02 Nov 2019 12:20 PM PDT We're starting to replace our Cisco wireless LAN with Aruba, starting with our new building that's finishing soon. There is a connecting hallway from older building, I'm wondering what happens when wireless clients move from Cisco network to Aruba. How smooth is the transition, if we drop the clients to same VLAN on the controller side and use the same RADIUS servers (Clearpass in our case) There are some special devices like some self driving forklifts that use wireless, not really sure though how they communicate. I can test this once the building completes but I'm curious if anyone has experiences with this. Is there something we could configure to make the roaming better? There are some 802 standards for roaming but I'm guessing those are used when the different wireless networks terminate to different IP subnets? Thanks for any ideas! [link] [comments] |
| Commercial HTTPS proxies that allows inline HTTP payload modification? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 03:57 PM PDT I need to modify the payload for a HTTP POST request to a particular HTTPS webapp. I've managed to do to it using a short Python script in mitmproxy, just to test things. However, I'm wondering which commercial MITM proxies allow you to modify HTTP request payloads inline? A lot of products seem to have their documentation and help articles behind paywalls/subscription only, which is actually quite frustrating when you're trying to evaluate things like this 🙁. PAN has an article on modifying headers but I don't see payloads mentioned. "HTTP Header Insertion and Modification" https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/8-1/pan-os-new-features/app-id-features/http-header-insertion.html [link] [comments] |
| Network Services Billing tool/app/system Posted: 02 Nov 2019 09:11 AM PDT Our network getting bigger and bigger, my team would like to build an internal billing system to associate network resources usage to specific department or teams. For example, we provide centralized Internet to many location/offices, we would like to give visibility and eventually bill individual location based on their real usage. The idea would be to become a "carrier/isp" within our business. I know where/how to collect stats and/or usage data, but I've never worked to integrate this data into some sort of billing system. I'm beginning my exploration phase. I'll have to talk to internal teams (procurement/accounting) to know which app they use to bill other services (not network related). On the more technical side, I'm wondering where/how to store billing related data. First intuition is to simply use our network management platform data to collect information (stats, usage, etc), then to "push/pull" this data into a crunching system (calculate 95centile, calculate numbers of ports in use, consolidate/aggregate some data for redundant services, etc). Finally, this "crunched" data would go into a billing system and service/price would be associated to it. Any tips, ideas, experience with "network data" to "service billing" would be appreciated.

| Love your job but want to learn more? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 02:47 PM PDT Does anyone else experience this with there career? I absolutely love my job. I'm an IT Manager and my boss is the CEO. However, the CEO is an Operations guy and has no IT experience. So it's tough for me to learn from someone who has experience in the field. I absolutely love what I do. I'm a jack of all trades type, the only IT guy in the company but I'm terrified of not being competitive in the market because I spent so much time riding this gravy train and not learning anything new? Most of my work nowadays is Project Management for software implementations. Just curious what ratio of folks in this sub have stayed where you were or had to venture out because you knew you needed more knowledge? [link] [comments] |
| How to upload, maintain, & update Assets that cannot be on the network Posted: 02 Nov 2019 02:06 PM PDT BRIEF OVERVIEW Hi everyone, I have an issue. My company is trying to move its assets management data to Spiceworks. This was previously managed using an excel sheet. My company is an MSP and we are looking to also introduce this to our client tenants. Also, we would like to be able to monitor the inventory of the clients as well for documentation. OBSERVATION I have tested the Spiceworks asset manager, did a network scan of inventory and I have seen all the detailed goodness it can provide for managing devices that can be connected on the network, for example, printers, laptops, desktops, scanners, copiers, mobile phones, etc. PROBLEM But my problem is about devices that cannot be on the network, for example, physical tools, chairs, desks, appliances, cables, etc. and other stuff that are in an office but are not able to be put on the network. How are these managed in Spiceworks asset manager? QUESTIONS Is it possible to manage devices that are not connected to the network in Spiceworks asset manager? How do I upload these OUT-OF-NETWORK items to the database? how are these OUT-OF-NETWORK item records in the database updated and maintained? (for example, I want to state that this specific laptop disconnected from the network was upgraded from a 4gig ram to 8gig, or a vendor serviced an appliance on a given date and is due for servicing on another given date) Also, does this mean only one administrator gets to update the database for the various department's inventories that are in the company? or how do the various department have access to update the inventory for their various teams? If possible, how can this solution be deployed by an MSP to tenants and how can tenants' various department database assets be maintained both at their location and centrally from our company (the MSP)? If this cannot be achieved by Spiceworks, is there any solution to achieve what I'm asking for?? Any assistance available will be highly appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 09:15 AM PDT Hi, I've got an issue that I've been working on for a while that I was hoping someone could provide some insight on. We have google fiber and whenever I try to apply an ACL on the WAN interface I lose internet access. The WAN interface is DHCP, and I have the static IP on a subinterface and a couple of port forwards and a routed ipsec tunnel. Basically I'm trying to apply OUTSIDE_IN to GigabitEthernet0/0/1 via: ip access-group OUTSIDE_IN in Basically I just want a firewall on the WAN that only allows the port forwards and the IPSEC. I'm somewhat of a novice here and I really appreciate any insight. Happy to answer any questions. Here's the obfuscated config: [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:26 PM PDT I am looking for an inexpensive tool that will identify what VLANs are tagged on specific switch ports. I know fluke makes some, but they're also kind of pricey. If it could identify if it had POE that would be cool too, but it's not a necessity. I've dealt with too many networks where I need to know what VLAN information I am receiving for my equipment, but the IT teams are not helpful or have things configured incorrectly.
