    Where I’m at now…

    So a quick update, I have passed the 400-101 (v5 written) and I’m back into full swing. Thanks to the awesome re-take policy iPexpert offers, my bootcamp is booked also. So if anyone out there plans to attend OWL in March, I’ll be in RTP for that class. All in…

    EIGRP OTP – Looking closer part 1

    So I’m going to break my closer look at EIGRP Over the Top into a couple smaller posts. Maybe I’ll tie it together with a video when I’m done… maybe lol. So today I thought I’d answer the most basic question of OTP, how the hell does it work?! In…

    Traffic filtering on Lan-2-Lan VPNs (ASA)

    So I know this isn’t my usual R&S blog post… but I continue to see just terribly stupid approaches to filtering traffic across Lan-2-Lan tunnels between ASAs. So this is my small contribution to end the stupidity. Before we get started, lets draw up a super basic diagram to work…

    DMVPN — Spoke-to-Spoke Multicast (but why?!)

    So now that I’ll off my on-call rotation, I’m getting back to studying. I needed something to fire me, so I started watching DMVPN videos from Cisco Live! 2014. One thing that really sparked my interest was spoke-to-spoke multicast communication. I’ll lead by saying this… not a production solution I’d…

    CCIEv5’s DMVPN

    First off, fear not. I’ve already recorded videos from DMVPN part 2, I didn’t give up lol. I just need to get some time to toss everything into text format. I just thought I’d do a really short post about DMVPN on the new blueprint. I haven’t tested yet, however from…
