Network Engineer here.
Just completed my first migration event where I upgraded the IOS and configuration of a client Cisco 881 to meet the unified WAN architecture specifications.
Ask me anything. Also general networking thread.
How often do you contemplate suicide?
>>60805091
Not very. Im paid pretty well.
>>60805076
congrat for doing your job. meanwhile for an normal engineer. whats is your next step to get more specificate knowledge in cisco network infrastructure?
>>60805105
people that get paid well kill themselves too goofy

The company I work has a very large infrastructure and I don't mess with the core. I just started this year, so I would say that need to continue study their each of their data centers and customer connectivity. There's also a lot of devices I can't touch and don't have access to like firewalls, so it's challenging in that aspect.

I never denied it. Me getting paid well is incentive for me personally to not kill myself goofy.

Iam working for a university in germany as network engineer, we have too a large infrastructure and different locations. I have access to any switch, router and firewall which we are manage. It's not always that easy to handle and move free on a big infrastructure.
Tell me which experience you did until today with cisco devices and their configs, fo you need any help or tips?
>cisco
>network engineer
I also used to think that cisco was enterprise networking until I switched jobs with Juniper devices
cisco is only good for small DCs and your average (corporate) campus/office infrastructure

Sounds like you haven't used IOS XR or NX-OS
Juniper and Arista are still better though
Could you help me solve VLSM effectively?
>>60805076
Show me the startup-config of your device + show ver
is your boss a pajeet?

Just use an online calculator. There's plenty online.

I haven't been able to touch NX-OS yet (we are about to receive a Nexus 7k to play with), but I have had experience with IOS XR.
The problem with the ASR series still stands when it comes to large carrier network and DCs - management / orchestration (buzzword alert!) on the scale of 100s-1000s of devices. Cisco didn't have proper, mature solution for that the last time I used a ASR9k.
I have to admit, I am not really up to date what they are up to currently, all I know is that the last good _IOS_ device was the 6500-E and there is still no spiritual successor for it.

>upgraded the IOS and configuration of a client Cisco 881
Wow, its nothing. You should feel bad that you're proud of acomplishing such a mediocre task on such low end hardware.
>>60806861
I never said anything like that regarding Cisco. I said a client of ours had one and I cut it over. Obviously we have Juniper devices in our infrastructure. Not at the clients though.

Lmao no. Hes actually a old white guy who retired from the Army

Its not the fact that I upgraded a cisco 881 (it's a prod router used by an actual credit union lol) but really that I did it while being hovered over by many executives from my work
>>60809389
>it's a prod router used by an actual credit union
who cares? its obviously a tiny as fuck credit union if they're using a 881. the thing is recommended for wan circuits of 8mbps or less.
>that I did it while being hovered over by many executives from my work
So? How the fuck does this change anything.
>>60805105
Whats paid well? And what city region are you in?
>>60809419
Are you a faggot?

I'm in Texas, but I work remotely most of the time. I'm a Jr engineer so I make about 67k/yr. I'm only 24 so it's pretty decent money for me. Plus this is the stepping stone to my career.
