A boss came in. And decided to up and upgrade one of our production T3 routers at 4:00 yesterday, despite the fact that the plan involved opening a proactive case with AT&T (which we hadn't been able to do yet due to our federal manager being busy) and for a solid 30 minutes for configuration audit ahead of time and 30 minutes of testing afterward. Of course I got roped into all of this poo poo at 4:30 (without any heads up) since I was the one who had done the configuration and wound up leaving late. Only two more weeks at this place. He still hasn't found a replacement for me or the security guy who left and keeps asking me if I can stay around to help and I keep telling him no.

I feel like once I give notice at my place, I will not be doing a single thing above and beyond and would really try to limit myself to knowledge transfer as much as possible. I'm technically not quitting, I'm just going on a leave of absence because I'm being deployed overseas. That being said, I'm totally getting a new job when I get back, I just don't want to necessarily burn this bridge. I may have hosed up by not actually quitting, though, because then I could charge him outrageous sums of money in consultation fees after my last day.

We're expanding branches and employees by 20%.
Ok we'll need to order more storage/memory/servers/etc to meet the increased demand.

Anyway, an emergency switch upgrade came in today at 3:00 PM. A department is apparently imaging several labs tomorrow and needed their switches upgraded from 2948s to gig, otherwise DOOM! So despite being told a month ago by me that they needed to notify my boss to set it up, they waited until the last moment and then went to senior management to get it done. So I got to stay late again. Hooray!

Had a presentation of a new network scheduled with our federal manager today at 9:30. Despite knowing this, my boss (the network architect) told me to re-rack the entire network and apply cable management 30 minutes before the presentation. Oh, and of course it wasn't working properly afterward. You know, like one might expect to happen after moving a lot of hardware and recabling it. Except anybody else would've allotted another 30 minutes for troubleshooting. Oh yeah, and wouldn't have done all of this right before a presentation.

I have to question the wisdom of using only a third party IT services provider when you're running WAN links and VoIP to multiple branch offices.

Making your network design simple is important if for no other reason than 95% of people are retarded and will break it within 30 seconds of touching it.

Using multiple VLANs is fine if you actually plan on using control lists for logical separation. The problem is that people never do this, and so you wind up with a situation like where I work where there's dozens of VLANs because we use /24 blocks of addresses rather than dabbling in the black magic that is variable length subnet masks. Or, you know, larger block sizes.

We have a new guy that started this week who I've been training to be my replacement. He doesn't have a badge or formal facility access yet, but he's been added to the authorized guest list and is just waiting for the paperwork to go through. Anyway, he didn't sign the log book in the server room since, you know, he works here. The IA troll saw this and tattled on him to the IT Director rather than just letting him know that he had to sign in. This is the same rear end in a top hat who did a Nessus scan, detected that out NetVCR was running FreeBSD, and then sent an email to upper management telling them we were breaking regulations by running unauthorized software on our network.

Virtual device I'm using to migrate our IDS sensors to a new version wasn't working this morning. The script I'm trying to run keeps saying something about now having enough space on the volume to create the log directory. So I hand it over to our linux dude, and he checks the directory and finds a 206 GB log file from a hung process.

Customer whose network I'm redesigning still uses separate subnets plugged into physical interfaces on their firewall in TYOOL 2015. I had to convince them that VLANs were not only a good idea, but safer than using their perimeter firewall as an all-in-one router/switch/firewall/VPN head-end/IPS.

So I'm having some issues with 6800 IA switches. The design requires us to run 15.2 in order to leverage the increased number of switches per stack (5) and the increased number of total switches supported per 6880 (42). I can provision and join each FEX stack while the 6880 is running 15.1, but the switches won't auto upgrade or join while the 6880 is running 15.2. Any ideas? e: Woah, wrong thread, but I guess I'll keep it here too. psydude fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Sep 25, 2015 |
