We have a bunch of Netopia R5300 that we are no longer using. Like 20 or so. The used non-working ones are under $20 on ebay, without power cords. Ours are all working with cords. What should I do with these? Anyone need one or more?

I can't really go into it, but there's all kinds of retarded things where I work. There are valid reasons to run fiber to workstations. One of them is TEMPEST, and I can imagine that being important on an AFB. But that really only comes in to play above a certain classification

I worked at a company that had fiber drops to every computer or group of coputers on the manufacturing floor. It actually made a lot of sense though. The room next to mine was the "fiber" department. The room on the other side was the molding department where the raceways and multiport service terminals were molded. Down the hall a ways the sheetmetal and paint departments made the cabinets. Etc. We had ~30% market share for fiber and infrastructure. The entire install was probably written off to R&D as product testing. Sickening posted:Why is fiber where people can kick it under desks or basically any of the above? Laying on the drat floor getting hit with brooms, zip tied to the back of my desk leading up to the 5 port switch crammed under a pile of cables behind the monitor. I don't know which product line it was but it was surprisingly resilient.

Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't broken fire optic cable a major hazard? One of the few things I think I remember from some of the cisco poo poo in highschool is being told "broken fibre optic is dangerous, don't ever snap fibre optic".

Fibre optics is non-reactive, easily broken "glass". As such, when you stab yourself with it and it inevitable breaks off inside your body and leaves splinters behind, they stays there. Possibly for a very long time. Since it doesn't react with anything, the body does not actively reject it like it would with a for example wood splinter. Eventually that splinter, which can be very small, can find its way into important things like brain or heart blood vessels, and makes you dead.

I don't know what you'd have to do to break the strands AND pierce the outer seal. It's one thing to break it, but another to rip the cable apart.

It is more related to terminations, where you generate these little <1" pieces of glass that you can lose track of. Corning pretium tools have a built in slot for you to drop those in.

Don't judge me! At one location we had a conduit running under a driveway between buildings that was so jammed with stuff we couldn't run any more cable or even pull out the old crap. I noticed a fiber run and when I traced it back to the originating side it was all spewed out the end of the cable onto the floor and had been getting walked on for about a year. That was an expensive repair.

I found out today that unless I want to be badgered from our change management department to never use the word reboot in a ticket ever again. Apparently rebooting something during business hours needs a change order. Guess I'm using the term "restarted services" from now on.

My manager just asked me to diagram all the networking ports in this office. It's a long story as to why, but we're outside of IT's grasp. As a result, IT in this department is basically handled by users, so nothing's documented. I imagine the sudden request to document is to prepare for an oncoming move within the next two months. Jesus Christ I don't know how you guys do it. There was no consistent naming convention, and as issues popped up, supervisors would just go to the switch and change ports without documenting anything. We have three different networks here, and ports labeled with one network were actually a completely different one. This whole thing just got redone less than a year ago and it's a god drat mess already.

Can't you just login to each switch and do a 'show int status' ? That will at least give you which VLAN each port is on.

Hahahaha that would make sense  The problem is I...don't actually have access to the switch. They won't give it to me. He wanted the diagram named by how the jacks are labeled, which are all labeled wrong. Maybe a network diagram isn't the best description of it. Still, it's a loving mess.

Reimaged a slow computer the other day, swapped it out, and noticed that it wasn't activated. Tried a few activations, and it threw an error. It was a really weird error, too; "The count reported by your Key Management Service (KMS) is insufficient." I sent an e-mail to the SCCM admins, and it turns out the ops team added a couple KMS servers and didn't tell anyone

Holy hell, so tired of networking experts as remote support clients. I'm trying to support a client on a self-install of a virtual appliance, and he's rude, condescending, he'll sharpshoot me, he'll complain about the documentation, it just goes on and on. I've been pretty Zen about the whole thing, I feel, but then he dropped this bombshell on me:MyIrateCustomer posted:"Remember, you can’t telnet into a linux box. Telnet is Microsoft." The words have failed me, if anything I'm even more Zen now, and I just washed down an adderall with a Red Bull. Edit: not recreational usage, BTW. Don't want to glorify it, I hate this poo poo, but it does help some. Oddhair fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jul 1, 2014 |

Collateral Damage posted:So make a diagram based on how they're labeled. That the labels are wrong is his problem. That's what I ended up doing. I got some funny looks though because of how things were switched up on the other end, what with one port being labeled for one network but being on a different network altogether and three different naming conventions across the board. But hey, I just do as I'm told.
