Hybrid IT will certainly be one of the first steps. I'd like to think that AI's will be most useful, ultimately, in a pure AI environment. The hybrid part is what we'll see in the immediate future, but eventually it should be more efficient to avoid the hybrid and go pure AI / pure digital for all things. Until then,…

Thank you, Rob. However, without a cost estimate--even just list price--I can't get time from managers in our Telecom department. My organization has ~100 buildings, 14,000 employees, just shy of 50K network nodes spread across five states. I'd think some sort of video conference management tool would be useful to them,…

If only this were available on all L2 and L3 devices . . . One day.

Nice--data's important to functional teams. Certainly I've provided (and received) data to and from non-functional teams. That's an exercise in wasting time. I, too, look forward to today's training session.

Too bad for Blue Apron. I've seen several local competitors to it come and go, to the dismay of my family and our dinner options. It's apparent that few food services have a profitable long-term strategy. Perhaps it's understandable, given the variables and the scope in which they can change (gasoline prices for…

Evil Teddy Bear Spies In Your Home: If you don't know who Chucky is, never figured out that some folks can be evil and unethical, and if you trust everything IoT . . . maybe you deserve what you've allowed to come into your home. But do your children deserve to pay with their safety and nightmares? Yahoo Security (or the…

We just upgraded to ISE 2.4; things are significantly improved. I can't say Cisco has it all right, but it's also not all on their backs. One product line of bar code printer we use (over a thousand of these printers) was reportedly incompatible with our standard network switchport ISE and VLAN settings, and we'd have to…

Ah, yes--we have that, too. Installed the antenna up on the roof back in 2004. The joke was that, since this NTP is GPS-based, we'll not only have our timing correct, but we'll also know when our building moves, and where it's gone to.

I find that when I look at a question I correctly answered earlier in the week, the pop-up shows that day's secret letter. Looking back at a previous week's questions does not do this, even though I answered those questions correctly. I don't know what happens when you try looking at a question answered incorrectly earlier…

I searched Thwack for those three brands; it's apparent their market share isn't yet sufficient for SW to have spent enough time on them to develop reports that you need. The closest I found was this page: Create a report that shows Serial numbers for switches and stack members Do they have their own (proprietary)…

It's a good thing Megan Trainor's not a Thwackster. " . . . you know it's all about the points, 'bout the points, no freebies. It's all about the points, 'bout the points, no freebies . . ." Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass - YouTube

Who of you Cloud users are actually " . . . encrypting your data, using performance monitoring tools, tracking resource usage and evolving requirements (memory, CPU, etc.), tracking service-level agreements?"

I like the way you're thinking, sja. However, when I look at Interface Type reports I only see about fifty 802.3ad interfaces recognized, and I have several hundred--perhaps over a thousand. But yours is the first suggestion leading me down that path. I'll play around with it for a while to see if I can discover the logic…

In a previous career and different industry, each time technology or sales trends eliminated the job of one or more people, the owners of the business never even considered down-sizing the person responsible for operating the obsolete systems. Instead, the owners found new trends for sales and new technologies to purchase…

Frequently, yes. I'd hoped the apparent unavailabilities listed by NetPath were simply errors on my side, or on our firewall configuration. But that turns out not to be the case.

Appreciating these continued blurbs.

People. I like reading about the good ones. Thanks.

Many thanks, Lindsey!

Can Trump Have It Both Ways? Hillary got in trouble for unsecured e-mail--"She's as guilty as they come". Trump's team's in trouble for NOT having unsecured messaging. Apparently this makes his team also "as guilty as they come." There's no winning in government except when you learn all the rules & follow them.…

This emphasizes the complexity of our environments, the need for the right number of staff to get the job done, and the importance of getting professional training for the people responsible for the house of cards that is the network.

I DO hope everyone has a happy holiday season--this year, next year--every year!

My organization also assigns all our staff quarterly online videos to train them and refresh them about various policies, including security and phishing recognition. I wish all users everywhere could take these same simple sessions, with brief 3-question quizzes at the end of each, which must be answered successfully to…

Let me know how your APIC monitoring goes. I've had Access Leaves and Border Leaves monitored for a long time. My work on getting the APIC configured to let NPM monitor it via snmp (v2 AND v3) is not succeeding at present, although NPM's APIC Monitoring credential test succeeds. But apparently it still needs valid SNMP…

PDP-11's in college, back in 1978, were our idea of "state of the art". Not many students got to work on them initially--only the university's data admins were allowed access. A few years later the students inherited the first PDP-11 and University Data Service got new hardware. Thank goodness--they were still doing class…

It was implemented just two weeks ago. I don't have empirical data or statistics to just its effectiveness yet. Of course, it's partly trying to prove a negative, isn't it? If an employee didn't click on a link that would have taken them to a phishing event that compromises their system or corporate resources, how will we…

Microsoft building new processing facilities in the Middle East and Europe. It makes good business sense. It adds ease of access to MS targets as a risk, while diversifying targets to reduce over-all risk. I hope their deployments and facilities remain secure, logically and physically. Because they're a company of interest…

Tell us about your bird eggs, please? I enjoy bird watching, but don't have much experience identify species by egg size/shape/color or nest. Do you know what species these eggs belong to? If not, what's the nearest big city to you? I might be able to come up with an online list of bush-nesting birds and pictures of their…
