Mike,

Sorry for the super late reply. Your right and I still do that alot of the time. But in all actuality the write commands are deprecated. Best to avoid using them moving forward so you don't run into issues.

Hey Josh,

Thanks for the refreshing and honest account of what many I think deal with in IT. I know it is easily to slip into a rut, to always be tired and not realise what is happening. The fact that you have a great support network around you, realise that, and got to use it is great. I've experienced this twice in my career thus far where sleep is better than work and it all seems to much. It is not a reflection of the persons inadequacies or their character but it is a sign that people need help. Coping mechanisms are fantastic and what you spoke about can be one for people. You don't know what you don't know, right.

Thanks for last week, the fun and the chats, both serious and light hearted.

Anthony.

Fernando Thanks for the comment. Its funny when people say they look up to me because I feel like I am just faking it till I make it all the time but in many ways I guess we all are. If it were not for the community and how important it has been in my personal and professional growth I could not post things this personal and raw.

At the end of the day I just want other people to know they are not the only ones struggling with an issue whether its technical or otherwise. Again thanks.

Truly moving post, thank you for sharing. We all struggle with many things and the the combination of today's technology, pace, work environments, etc... all add up.
While I'm not in networking anymore (anti-fraud is my game nowadays) I try to keep my connection to the community at Packet Pushers as Greg, Ethan, Tom, Michele, Amy and yourself are some of the people I look up to. In many ways, your testimonial above just shows why.
May we continue to thrive as a community and, through that, grow as individuals as well.
Again, thank you.

you can also make the command shorter by using "wr".

I just used this as a hint to connect my Sony BDV-N7100W remote to my Winbook using Samsung code 5526. Thanks!

Eric, Thanks for the comment. We have placed our bet on Aerohive. I like just about everything about them. But that is not a replacement for the Meraki Open Source stuff. Time will tell. From what I have read there are some cool projects in Canada that were based on the original Meraki models and were major contributors to the code base before they locked it down. Maybe something will come of that.

I really enjoyed this series, only just listened to them all today. Should we be seeing more eps in the future? :)

Re: Why a Network?

Guest — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 02:37:24 -0000

I do agree with your points.The fact that we've been creating network connectivity for the purpose of connecting the apps shouldn't be under question, and I don't think anyone is really saying otherwise. However, what has to be acknowledged is that while the apps have changed in nearly every way, these methods haven't changed at the same pace. This is a trend that - while not directly caused by it - has been made abundantly clear with the rise of server virtualization.

Products like ACI are aimed at providing us with a new method of configuring the network - "app-centric" being used as a term to illuminate this use case. Obviously this is only one option - there are other products now that are taking this approach (i.e. Plexxi) and of course, the build-it-yourself approach is also very valid, and as a nerd, I like it too.

So in my mind, yeah, the term "app-centric" is mostly for marketing purposes but we should admit that while we've always been doing this for the apps, we've also been content with a bit too much complexity. Just my $0.02.

Eric Henderson — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:43:14 -0000

so who will be the new Meraki? The technology they have is not revolutionary - it just needs a new dev team to just create a similar UI and make it work.... Any open source offers out there that are suitable to replace? I have original Meraki mesh units - was so much fun to play with.. then they went to a paid management model and then on to others.. I got tired of trying to keep up with their changes - so I dropped all their devices and managed in-house...

Love the reality of "i'm in my 40s and can't quite concentrate on cli commands as i used to" - same here but i thought it was just me getting older and slower.

Hey Josh, just a message to let you know how much I enjoyed the podcasts - I listened to all 4 back to back today on a long drive and thought they were awesome.

Here are some suggestions for other folks I'd like to hear on the show: Devin Akin, Keith Parsons, Andrew von Nagy & Matthew Gast.

Keep 'em coming!

Phil,

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great comment! I'd love it if you could put her in touch with me. I get excited when I hear about women just getting started in IT and who are genuinely interested in the tech of things!

Followed you and the rest of the networking community on Twitter for a while now, but just latched onto this podcast. It always fascinates me as well about how people got into this career. I worked as a network guy for about 8 years before jumping into teaching at a local college in a new 2yr Network & Telecom program 10 years ago. However what I found very refreshing in terms of a common thread in your interviews was talking about the benefit of skill based training and not necessarily a 4 year general degree. I am constantly evangelizing the benefits of taking a focused 2 year technical diploma, getting a job, and then continuing one's education as you find the focus of your career.

The number of parents that push their kids into a 4 year degree just because it's the thing to do is a recipe for disaster. At career fairs I'm always telling potential students to find the career they want and then find the balance of the best/cheapest/shortest education path to gain the skills they need to be hired. I feel more acceptance and recognition is happening in our industry for skills based training, but unfortunately most of society and many employers are only just twigging into this and still hold on to traditional job requirements in the hiring process.

On another note, I had a potential female student come in the other day who was considering a career in IT but knew nothing about it. After some initial discussion (at which point most females generally cringe and decide it isn't for them) she became very interested and is seriously considering registering for the program. I just happened to be listening to this podcast around the same time and thought it a fantastic way for her to hear the story of another female in IT. With this industry being so male dominated, I agree that it's important to get the word out and change some of the sexist tendencies in parts of our industry.

Thanks for doing these and I look forward to hearing more interviews.

Just listened to episode 1 and part of the way through episode 2. I love the concept and think this will be something I put in my feed for the commute.

Amy is on the list. She is bogged down in some projects but I'll stay after her.
