Excellent! The article I've been waiting for. glenkemp this series has been excellent, thank you for sharing!

Interesting. glenkemp So, is this the same as the concept behind using SIEM (i.e. baselining a system and then watching for anything outside of the norm [anomalies, that is])?

Good article!

......AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaand bookmarked for later.

+1. This legitimately made me laugh. Nicely done, kevincrouch4.

Agreed; Real world implementations -- let's see 'em!

NICE!

You should do like I have. Just take a knob off an old appliance and hang it in your office. Put a label above it that says "Network Speed," and put the dial to about 3. Hilarity ensues.

So, it's just a wi-fi dongle? Anybody tried using it with a linux computer?

This is really teaching me some good stuff about DPI. I've never really looked into it, but I'm glad this series has come along!

Are you more concerned about actionable IT metrics and not concerned with the business impact? Yes-- I'm definitely not big on the business impact (which is unfortunate, as I do see the importance; I merely lose sight of this sort of thing) What are the metrics that matter to you? Uptime, Downtime, Failed Authentications.…

I'm new to IP SLA, but it's a very useful tool. This is the post I've been waiting for; definitely going in my bookmarked category. Great stuff!

rob.hock when will this device be added to the Free Tools & Trials page?

Whoa snap! All those points showed up this morning! Thanks DanielleH & maria.bungau

We can't really do a lot of cloud stuff where I work... which is semi-fortunate for me, since I don't have to deal with networking that.

You know, I think that the book "Network Warrior" had a section on how to sell your idea to management... I don't think I read it, but it was there.

It does say the points will be given the week of July 7th. You probably just have to wait; If it makes you feel better I haven't gotten them yet. henazo

Wow, that's a pretty easy bunch of points!

I guess what I was saying was that I just wanted to see some examples and not just the overview, if you know what I mean. I hope you didn't take my wanting and wishing as unjust criticism!

Okay, now that it's the last day of the week of July 7th, NOW is the time to ask where the points are... ...Politely, of course.

I've never heard that particular phrase before, but I do like it. Nicely put!

Been a looonng time since I've had to mess with servers. Thank god for that!

This is an absolutely vital question to ask. I think the next question would be "Do you know if your devices are updating correctly?" We once had an issue with devices not uploading their configs... found out a little too late!

I once had an end user give me coffee. That was exciting!

Voted up; However, have you considered another browser?

This is good info. I hate dealing with Telco's/WAN Providers!

I concur with JimCouch and constant re-education. Constant education and re-education is probably the most clear hall-mark of IT as a field.

First things first -- I definitely enjoy your blog (ccie-or-null). Fantastic stuff, and it's the website where I learned about the SCP certification. Secondly, I wish my voip checklist looked like this... so now it does. Copy +Pasta. Thanks!

This is a good question; unfortunately I've only seen this issue from the end-user perspective. Needless to say, I was very happy to remove the e-mails from my device when I left.

We keep it pretty proactive around here, but we still (and always will) have some cleaning-up to do.
