Actually I had
planned to post a small update on my CCIE lab the last Thursday, but as usual
life or in this case the customer had another opinion about it.
As mentioned earlier I was working at a customer location to immediately fix some network issues with HP system. After the STP problem was solved we talked a while and decided to move to L3 meaning enabling routing and reducing the spanning tree. Since the customer had special demands considering network outages during business hours we scheduled the redesign and rebuild of the network to Thursday night. Not to mention that it took the whole night after we “crashed” their router (Draytek) so hard that this stupid box didn´t knew that it had interfaces after the reboot.
At 4 in the morning everything was back up and the network was running smooth (and all switches stayed significant below 20% CPU utilization). Next step will be replacing the Draytek box with two Cisco routers and shifting from copper uplinks to fiber as well as implement QoS.
So I had about 4 hours to go back home, shower, sleep, wake up, get to the office and prepare for the next customer meeting – no time for blog post.
Anyway I managed to finally cable my CCIE Security lab rack and will post a few updates about it tonight, hopefully.
