Eric Stewart: Running Off At The Mouth

#CLUS 2019 is approaching, June 9 through June 13. I’ve got another scoop, this time including the bands for the Customer Appreciation Event!

It’s that time again! The US edition of Cisco Live 2019 is in San Diego this year, and I’ll be there. Here’s the first little tidbit of information I’ve been dropped: Big Ideas speakers, Tweetup dates/times, photos, and social impact opportunities!

I failed (twice) to recertify my CCNP, meaning I have to start all the way back at the CCNA. This is my plan.

Yes, it’s been a year, and I haven’t really touched the site all that much. But as Cisco Live is right around the corner, I did the Internet version of meeting in a dark parking garage with a source, and got some information about Cisco Live 2018. Check out the scoop!

Cisco Live was in Las Vegas again this year, and it was hotter (in more ways than the weather) than last year! I learned quite a bit and had a lot of fun. But fair is fair: There are things I would like to see changed. Still – if you’re a networking professional that touches Cisco equipment, going to Cisco Live is a benefit you can’t ignore.

So – I’m going this year. Flight, hotel, classes all booked (just need to squeeze in possibly a CCNP TSHOOT exam and I’m all set). But I have some news hot off the presses: I know who’s going to be giving the closing keynote! And of course, some additional social gaming has been added to this year’s event.

A) A Week With Friends
B) Summer Camp

C) A Learning Experience

D) Cisco Live 2016

E) All Of The Above

It’s been my experience that “ip access-group <acl> in” is rarely used. Most of the time, people look at the “out” form of the command. In this post, I will explain how to view the different directionality of the “in” vs “out” and then review the issues that you can encounter with respect to DHCP and HSRP when it comes to ending an “in” ACL with a “deny all” at the end.

$JOB is getting into some new and interesting stuff; stuff that, if you’re not an Internet Service Provider, could be a bit of a black box to you; you might be used to your ISP saying “Here’s a cable, your equipment is on the other end”. Here’s what we’ve been working on and what I’ve been able to make of it so far.

Attempting (in my scatterbrained manner) to cover all the bases of an interesting issue I encountered recently and failed to fix without assistance. It illustrates why I’m not a CCIE yet, and why, no matter what you see, you shouldn’t assume anything when working through odd issues.
