Late for a FE is sunrise. I'm driving home dead tired while most folks are all coffee'd up late to arrive at work. Sleep deprivation is real. But so is the overtime
I am curious what type of patch cables you are using. Also LOVE the line about sitting around subnetting or doing route calculations. You do quite a bit in a various roles which is AWESOME! I've been over this weekend working on server migrations / storage for backups and replication issues. Also gottta love some vendors, bless them when they say they don't need to refer to it, but you did the extra step to connect it cause this isn't your first rodeo lol!
Do a search on "slim run" cables. That's what we use for non-user areas such as at patch panels or servers. They're not the best for heavy traffic areas. Though I use them at my desk as well. God bless!
Good morning brother! Grace & Peace 2 U and your family from NC! Thanks once again 4 a great "Oompaloompah" closet video! That is a very interesting and probably annoying wiring closet but hey, gotta do what we gotta do, right! I always enjoy venturing into the MDF's and IDF's! Thanks 4 sharing your work day with us once again and God Bless!🙏🏽
When one of the Help Desk guys tells me they want to "learn networking", this is the first place I take them. Suddenly they don't think the job looks all that glamorous anymore. God bless!
Whats the story with that oompaloompa closet? Were they desperate for space and said "This inaccessible spot right here looks good!" or did they need more height in the room below it and said "Screw that IT closet, they can just deal with it!" kinda thing? Just a rather strange spot to shoehorn a closet into. I liked the edits in the first part of the video as well. Keep up the good work!
It's super common for architects to leave mechanical/electrical/plumbing spaces the least useful space in the building. For them it is a necessary evil and therefore the lowest priority on ease of access. I have seen mechanical rooms where the access is a wall hatch at the top of a stairwell that has pipes running across the opening. Tough sh!t to to the guy that has to get 10HP motor replacement through there and to the air handler buried in that space.
It was the first thing you said. :-) They needed a closet nearby and found plenty of room in oompaloompa. The ladder outside the door is what kills me. It's as wide as it is tall and nothing to hold onto when you unlock the door. It's a favorite to introduce all the folks who think I have an easy job to. When the short fat guy can get into oompaloompa and they can't. Suddenly my job looks far less desirable. LoL! God bless!
oh that is your serial terminal server. my Terminal server was a server on its last legs and needed replacing like a year ago. it has now pushed off to silicon heaven, also known as recyling. the intermittant fault that was causing a lot of repeat problems which turned out to be a fatal fault.
I think ours started acting up after a recent heat wave. I've told engineering repeatedly that the AC in that closet is not cooling properly. Another device in that same rack as the terminal servers tells me the rack temperature runs around 110 F. Way too hot. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife Well for us it was required when we upgraded firewalls. Our PA-3220's were up for support after 3 years. The support costs almost as much as new firewalls with 5 years of support. So we upgraded to PA-1420s which is the 4th gen firewall and it comes with 11.0 installed. So we updated Panorama and then our existing PA-460s at our DR site to all match. Haven't really found any problems (knock on wood). Whats nice the PA-1420s are 1U and have a silver look to them. Our PA-3220s are the dark blue and 2U (so thats 4U of space with both of them). The 4th gen is more powerful and takes up less space.
We don't have STP set up on the uplinks. Just the edge ports. If I recall correctly. It's like one of those things I touch once per year. Maybe. God bless!
Really enjoyed this day in the life video. Thanks for making them! God bless, my friend.
Thank you! God bless you as well.
Keep up the great videos
Glad you enjoy them! God bless!
Nice video, we are replacing our core switches. Wish me luck.
good luck! hope it goes really smooth 😊
Begs the question, replacing what with what? Cisco to Cisco? Wishing you the best of God's Providence. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife Cisco nexus to Aruba CX
@@NetworkAdminLifereplacing a pair or Cisco nexus with a pair of Aruba CX
@@corstian_ I hadn't realized that HP owns Aruba. I cut my teeth on HP ProCurve switches and routers. Hope all is going well with the upgrade.

Overtime, on-call pay, and coffee form the lifeblood of infrastructure support here. We also call overtime the FE's year end bonus. God bless!

So far so good on PanOS 11.1.2-H4 here. I don't know what version your on but it seems to be ok on 1420's and 460's.
Good to know. What did going to version 11 get you over version 10? God bless!

@@kjstech1982 Good to know. Taking up less rack space is always good. God bless!
Greetings from Sys admin! - Was the installation of the patch cables for the terminal server or something else?
These patch cables were for some new radiologist workstations that were being installed. God bless!
Hi network admin what type STP do you using between the access uplinks to the fabric?
We don't have STP set up on the uplinks. Just the edge ports. If I recall correctly. It's like one of those things I touch once per year. Maybe. God bless!
so may old phone frames and pathes , :-)
There are. And they are all over the hospital. God bless!
