Of all the dumb default settings, this takes the cake. I am using an external mouse BECAUSE I hate the trackpad. Good grief. Precision touchpad my &$$^
You know what would be great? If all browsers tried to use HTTPS before HTTP. Some have the feature, others don't. Why are we in 2021 and this still isn't built in? Am I right, @etherealmind? You usually have stuff to say about this!

Love @ATT network support. And then there's self-deployed root canals, which I may love more than ATT support.

So, good news! Passed my @JuniperNetworks #JNCIA exam the other day. Next step, #JNCIS ENT. My goal is to earn the JNCIE via #DataCenter track. One exam at a time.

Stop calling me. I'm debt-free & college was soooo 2005. But, if I pressed "2" would that mean I could keep my student loan that I don't actually have?! And, if I actually press '9' does that mean I'll get all these other cool phone calls about improving my credit score?! /sigh
Watching a great movie...48 Hrs. Love Murphy and Nolte together. In fact, reminds me of my 1st trip to Frisco about '89. Grandma's car got stolen near Golden Gate Park. Spent the night watching LA @Raiders & @49ers with the finest cops in CA. Was a great time! Waxing nostalgic.
Is it me, or, does @meraki implementation of #BGP suck?
ICYMI: Um. Gotta problem with switch deployment and traffic investigation? Maybe you should check the @JuniperNetworks switch deployment via @MistSystems. Quite amazed. Would recommend watching over at @GestaltIT and #NFD24. techfieldday.com/appearance/…

So, got a bit if time on the road tomorrow. Guess I'll be getting my buzz on.
Got a chance to talk through some of the interesting challenges for SD-WAN and IPv6 on @ipv6buzz from the @packetpushers with my co-hosts @ipv6tom and @SCOTTHOGG

Mind your gateways, @jhoughes Those #IPv4 addresses can be a bear...wait till you do #IPv6!

A step further. On the network side, have you considered #macsecurity #MACRandomization or user/group rights based on @ArubaNetworks ClearPass/RADIUS, 802.1x fields? I think Aruba has some of the best division of privs on the market. Security is on everyone's mind! Think it thru.

#Suicide is never a solution. It's a permanent fix to a temporary problem. If you struggle, please, talk to a friend, family member, & a councilor. All states have hotlines. There are many who love you and care for you. Keep pressing forward. You can, with help. We want to help.

Bought a product on @amazon. Have the email confirmation that says, today is delivery. Guess what didn't happen. Um. Delivery. I'm not the 1st to experience this, but why the hell are we all OK with it? Purchase local. Screw Amazon. Amazon: Wait, you want more info? <click>

And here comes the Arista Networks #EVPN #VXLAN deployment. I currently have iBGP at the spine and eBGP on the leaves, configured and exchanging connected routes.

One thing to consider will be use cases on VXLAN. Why use it? When does it make sense? Should you really extend a failure domain across your network? What if you're a VMware shop? Is #NSX a better technology for you? Don't forget these questions before you adopt technology!

'It depends' isn't a bad thing. My lab is a spine-leaf deployment. vEOS1-4 are spines in AS65500. Leaves 5-8 are representing TOR & each connect to spines. Leaf 5/6 are MLAG'd in AS65501, & leaves 7/8 are MLAG'd in AS65502. Spine is AS65500. At this point,ready for the overlay.
