This is a REALLY short post, about an amazing topic that with the assistance of Google, could easily eat up a couple days worth of reading. I just wanted to talk a little bit about the behavior of your 6500, running VS-SUP720-10G with Quad Sup VSS. The quick and dirty…

QoS Task
If you’re looking for a task that will annoy you, this is it! Alright, currently you have a 10Mb connection to your upstream provider, you’ve been charged with implementing some basic QOS to prioritize voice traffic (marked DSCP EF). You’re told voice should be given priority of 10%, and the…

Running Labs Again!
I’m back at it! I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was considering quitting. CCIE is tough man, and failing it is soul crushing (especially failing it four times). However, the record’s 19 attempts… so I figure if anything I can at least try to top that! I have…

MPLS Tools and Tricks – Part 1, show mpls forwarding-table (aka your best friend)
First off, I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Between failing the CCIE (again), moving and changing jobs… I’ve been busy. Back off. That being said, I’m getting the itch again, and it’s time to start studying, I don’t care if it takes 20 tries over 3…

More MPLS!
So I can see that people like the MPLS labs, and while I’m down sizing and moving my physical lab I thought I’d crack out an MPLS lab out. This one is fun, I tried to add some extra complexity, while keeping it focused to R&S 4.0 blueprint topics. Some…

Still kicking!
I’m working on some spanning tree labs, which will require some real gear. I’ll try to keep them to features only requiring a 3550, but I do have some PVLAN labs I want to work out. I’ve been taking some time off from studies to focus on “real” life. However……

BGP Ticket(s) – Multiple faults
Buckle up, it’s BGP time. This ticket, or tickets features multiple fault points. I went a little overboard to be completely honest. So here we go! When all tickets are resolved, both R6 and R7 should have full readability to R1. You are not allowed to modify the configuration on…

Working on a Fun BGP Lab
I’m not dead and gone! I’ve just been extremely busy with work and studying. Things might calm down next week, and for the few that actually check this blog I have a fun BGP ticket coming. It’s about 75% done now, I want to toss a couple curve balls in…

Fun with MPLS – Part 2/’however many of these I feel like doing’
It’s been a peaceful couple weeks at iHatethisjob INC., perhaps too peaceful… Come to think of it you haven’t had ANY calls. Seeing as you’re Xbox is broken, and you’re all caught up on Downton Abbey (don’t lie to yourself), you decide to investigate. First things first you try to ping the…

No Dice
Well, it kills me to report that I’ve failed my third attempt. I knew at 9:30am my day was shot, I had not been able to complete either of the three pointers on the troubleshooting section of the lab. It’s hard to explain how that felt… it was the first…
