Thanks for the perspective yall. I'm coming to terms with having Stockholm syndrome for this gig, and while it's not a total dumpster fire, the workload is lots of busy work and there's not really anyone else here to learn anything from. With more dedicated time off I figure studying for certs until the next semester starts up might be way more productive than the maybe cool project or infrastructure expansion on the horizon at this company. Anyway, I'm thinking it might be wise to not burn this bridge and give them the basics that could be google'd/RTFM'd anyway. After I told them I wanted to phase myself out, they brought in a senior IT guy from a sister company for audits and while he's sort of a doofus he could figure out the workflows I reckon.

I was pretty clear to them I wanted to leave on good terms and I’d be willing to train someone else, so this is mostly expected. I’ll be giving them the outline of obvious workflows. I’m not trying to burn this bridge, and the handbook thing was probably coming up regardless due to a corp parent company increasingly pushing policies on this place.

So we just requested a relocation of Verizon FiOS service. We have 13 static IP's. They said we would have to change all of those IP's in order to move them to a new address. What the gently caress? Are they for real? Are IP's statically assigned to a loving mailbox or some poo poo? Why the gently caress would I have to get new IP's?

If you know the limit on your circuit breaker you could just setup a surge protector that trips around 3-5 amps under what the circuit trips at. Try searching for stuff like "bench, commercial, industrial power strips" You'll have to take into consideration there might be other things running on that circuit though, so if you don't already have it mapped you could flip the circuit off during off hours to figure out what else is running a load. You could also load in a diesel generator somewhere, but if you leave it inside make sure it checks out with the fire marshal and that there's a decent ventilation system setup.

They made 16 outlets all on the same circuit. Who the gently caress does that? I doubt I can get this place to shell out for an electrician for a one-time event though, what I probably need is a bunch of something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kyng-Power-Generator-Continuous-Rechargeable/dp/B07DVSWLSR They would be cheaper than an electrician around here, and I could place them on the tables instead of stringing extension cords along the ground. Computer Serf posted:If you know the limit on your circuit breaker you could just setup a surge protector that trips around 3-5 amps under what the circuit trips at. Try searching for stuff like "bench, commercial, industrial power strips" Yeah our breakers trip at 15 amps, I don't mind placing a bunch of surge protectors around that will trip below as those are easy to reset. The door to the breakers is locked and only the building has a key so it takes like a half-hour to get them to come up and turn the lights back on. Would be nice if there were some breakers I could set the amps on. This surge protector has an amp display and a dial to set the max amps (all the way down to 2), it's just what I need but it isn't Amazon Prime so I wouldn't get it by Monday when I need it: https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4330-Kill-Surge-Protector/dp/B004OG94VW/

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:So we just requested a relocation of Verizon FiOS service. We have 13 static IP's. Assuming it still works like it did when I worked there, it's because everything is just the worst. The Verizon ONT at your premises connects back, via the fiber optic cable, to a port on a line card in the OLT in the central office. The connection from there, along with some other OLTs, connects up to a gateway router (GWR), which is a big carrier-grade Juniper box. From there, it flows up to even bigger Juniper routers and so on out to the internet at large. The GWR is where all the addressing takes place, both the DHCP for most connections and the static for static IPs like yours. My understanding is that the IP address pools for each GWR live ONLY on that device. Your static IPs are assigned out of the same IP pools as the DHCP addresses (I think), and thus you're stuck with whatever pools are available at the GWR that serves your line card. It's possible to move across the street, get fed off a different feeder cable from a different OLT connected to a different GWR, and have to change your IPs. I'm trying to remember if I was ever able to get someone's IPs back in all the times I had to deal with this, and I think maybe once? It's probably worth having a chat with their escalation team, whoever they are now, but getting to them can be like something out of a fantasy quest. One way that should work is: go to dslreports.com, find the Verizon Direct forum and post there, and someone will give you a link to a chat that goes to a team that might be able to help. They will probably eventually promise you that you can keep your IPs. They will then lose them because nobody actually changed anything with the automated provisioning. After much back and forth, the answer will be to go gently caress yourself, because Verizon is terrible. Godspeed.

I just asked our rep to suspend our account with the 13 IP's and give us 13 new ones. Apparently we might not even use any of them anymore because all of the vendors that had them put everything in the butt. It might not fly, but if it does it would be hilarious to tie up 26 Verizon public IP's for nothing.

We moved to a new home literally 500 yards from my old house and they had to turn off my old account and turn on a new account with 5 new IP addresses. Why they couldn’t just associate my existing account with my new address is beyond me.

Lotta people with hosed up DNS servers who can't handle a little re-addressing. Speaking of hosed up DNS servers, ours are apparently handing out bad addresses for the DCs and SCCM servers. AD work has gotten a little twitchy, and imaging is completely hosed. Our Back Office has a backlog of 580 tickets for deployments and tech refreshes. Tickets. Not machines. 580 tickets. Out lab managers have JUST only NOW seen the light on Win7 to 10 migrations and started scheduling re-images and refreshes in batches of up to 40 machines. Now we're cancelling appointments because we have no idea when we can deploy. Since they're scheduling vendor visits to install the software that runs the instruments this could kind of explode.

I wont even attempt to explain the weird topology of the network but some turd plugged in an ancient nexus switch that decided it would be root for the entire network. Lots of back and forth with the other tech trying to explain what he did. Enabled BPDU filter at the trunk to his location and spanning-tree reconverged again. Good times.

You'd have to do something insanely bad to be able to gently caress a network up so badly that spanning tree is causing an office to be dead for three days. I can't even imagine what that would be. Worst case I can think of is if you increase network diameter until it just fails and is unable to work, which can be remedied by removing the switch you added and being less dumb, or even just loving with timers a little bit until you can get someone in there who knows a thing to unfuck it over time.
