• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    NetApp Authentication / Encryption problem

    With the hostname (FQDN) authentication is probably using Kerberos rather than NTLM. When you use the IP it will use NTLM. It sounds like that the array isn't using NTLMv2 since it sounds like the domain controllers are set to only send and receive NTLMv2. I would work with NetApp support to...

    Cloud Computing: Let's kick this off

    I work for a VAR focusing on the datacenter infrastructure side of things (Storage/Networking/Compute) however I have been shifting more towards the automation/orchestration side. This is where we are seeing companies start their foray into automation/orchestration and even into the cloud...

    Cloud Computing: Let's kick this off

    There really is a lack of understanding of what cloud computing is. It isn't just shipping your servers/applications off to some cloud provider and then firing half of your IT staff. Now there are many applications that are not suited for the cloud however as these software vendors are creating...

    Management Cluster ideas for a greenfield deployment

    Is there a reason that you want to separate management onto its own hardware? What is the size of your current environment? Normally what I have done in the past is separate management VMs into their own Cluster and dedicate however many UCS blades are necessary to that cluster. We just make...

    CCNP 3560E or 3750E or 4948

    So sorry for the late reply. It is a great product for certification study at least for the Routing & Switching side of things especially since many IOS L2 features are now supported. Also remember that much of the L2 functionality in IOS carries over to NX-OS. The commands to implement those...

    CCNP 3560E or 3750E or 4948

    I used to have have physical switches and routers in my home lab however last year I switched to Cisco VIRL. It's an annual subscription of $200 or $80 if you qualify for the academic version. We use it quite a bit where I work. We can lab up a customer's environment and test out changes before...

    vSphere Network Security for Multi-Tenancy

    Since you do not have layer 3 between the subnets then the only other types of attacks that come to my mind revolve around VLAN hopping. There is a good little write up here that discusses the 2 types of VLAN hopping attacks and how to mitigate them. Still, nothing beats having a firewall or...

    vSphere Network Security for Multi-Tenancy

    Is routing setup between the subnets? So tenant A device on subnet 1 can communicate with tenant B device on subnet 2? If so then at a minimum you need to get access-lists in place to block the various tenant subnets from talking to one another.

    Home Lab Setup Recommendations

    A Nexus 5010 would be awesome however I am not going to spend that much on one. I have a friend who might be able to get me a Catalyst 4948 very cheap. If he can't get me that then I will check out the SG-300 and the HP 1810 that were mentioned. Thanks for the help guys.

    Configuring a Cisco WLAN Controller, Vlan question

    VLANs 2 and 3 are for wireless hosts. While only the DHCP pool was configured for them in the lab that was linked the WLC configuration for them will probably be in the next lab.

    Passed CCIE R&S Written

    It sure does. I am putting in 16 hours a week just doing labs. Good luck with the CCNP. It is not that bad especially with the changes they made to it a while back with making it only 3 tests instead of 4. Back when I was going for the CCNP it was 4 tests and they actually had a specific...
