I have been looking at network deisgns and watching a few YouTube videos. I am trying to get my head around the whole SPOF thing. If you have 2 WAN's, 2 Routers etc. how do you manage only having 1 default gateway address?
Episodes 1 and 3 were bad. Episode 1 gets a pass for setting everything up, but episode 3 was just bad. The fight scenes were bad and the chase scene was laughably bad.
I felt like I was watching something on the CW.
Funny...Robert Rodriguez is also going to be doing a Zorro show on the CW...
The best episode and the only GOOD episode so far was episode 2 and it wasn't directed by Robert Rodriguez. I hope episode 3 was his last episode because I really don't want to see The CW star wars show anymore.
I've been looking for about a year, and made a post here several months ago. I was finally able to land a spot above the help desk. I don't have any networking certs and I haven't finished my degree, however my job in contingent on my being able to get Network+ and then my CCNA. I'm not too worried about those because I've looked at study material and I'm quite confident I could pass Network+ right now and I know CCNA is totally passable for me with some serious studying and learning.
My question is: in your guys' experience, what should I expect this job to be like? My orientation is in two weeks and all I know is that the company is huge, they told me I'll be on the frontline but will not deal with customers, and the interview was VERY protocol-centric. I'm not sure if it's ticket based or otherwise, and they told me they believe I have high aptitude for the position and could be working on projects soon, but I have NO IDEA what my role in those projects could look like. If anyone has been in a position similar to this, what was your day to day like? I'm SUPER excited to start regardless of what it's like, but if anyone could give me some tips maybe that would help with the imposter syndrome. Thanks in advance!
Hi guys, I'm putting together a multi-tier network in azure and have silly question (diagram below)

How does traffic from business tier communicate with web tier? Do I need an NSG rule to allow outbound traffic from business tier to the public load balancer?
They're in different subnets so i didn't know if they could already talk to each other or I had to explicitly set this.
On the Web Subnet NSG I've allowed HTTP inbound only.
Thank you

BSW sells health insurance plans in Austin, yet they have zero psychiatrists in the Austin area. I am not sure how that is even legal as the ACA states that mental health care is required on these plans.
Out of the 6 available options spread throughout Round Rock and Cedar Park all but 1 don't accept new patients/only work with geriatric patients/only work with hospitalized patients.
The 1 out of those 6 that is suppose to service all of Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock and Cedar Park is basically unavailable as well. My wife waited 6 weeks to see this one available doctor and at the last minute he cancelled on her without even bothering to contact us or to reschedule. We were told by different BSW employees that he had to cancel because either he "had classes" or "is going on vacation." Now they want us to wait into October for an initial visit that we have already waited 6 weeks to get.
Effectively, if you signed up for this plan you have zero access to psychiatry or mental health medication. This means anyone on this plans that needs medicine for depression, anxiety, ADHD, anti-psychotics, etc is shit out of luck because BSW refuses to properly provide coverage for a city of 1 million people plus the surrounding suburbs. Again, I am not sure how it is legal for them to even sell these "coverage" plans.
We have jumped through several bureaucratic hoops trying to get my wife an appointment to no avail. We have contacted the Texas AG office (not holding our breath there), we have written our congress people, tried contacting KUT, KXAN, KVUE, etc. Any advise on what else we could do would be greatly appreciated. Also, I hope this post serves as warning to anyone renewing or signing up for healthcare through the marketplace next year to stay clear of BSW.
EDIT: Thank you all who chimed in with pragmatic advise (consulting a PCP, integral care, BetterHelp etc). I still find it pretty outrageous an insurance company can advertise that their plans cover psychiatry in the area you signed up for and then patients either have to drive an hour or more away or try and get their PCP to fill the shoes of a full time psychiatrist.
Greetings everyone,
I recently found out I was being furloughed from my current job due to COVID, and I've started working on finding a new job. At my old job, I was the new guy and got handed off a lot of simple tasks, mostly concerning end-user support and basic system administration and configuration (a lot of L1-L2 stuff) the work tempo was either super-slow or a lot at once. I have my CCNA but have limited L3-L4 experience. Networking is a use it or lose it skill, so I'm nervous. What should I cram for before my interview? People that have worked or currently work in Tier 2 Support what should I expect to see. Any and all advice is appreciated.
I'm a mid-career DevOps/sysadmin person pivoting into networking because I want to help run the internet. I currently have an offer for a NOC role at Big Media Company, where in the future I'll be able to move into their cloud networking team (once I pass the CCNA and have more NOC experience under my belt). However I only want to accept this role if, after working on the cloud networking team at Big Media Company and getting my CCNP SP, I can reasonably expect to land a job on a networking team at a tier 1 or 2 ISP.
So, is such a move feasible? Or do ISPs look for a very particular set of experience when hiring their network engineers, experience that I wouldn't get at all on the all-AWS cloud networking team at Big Media Company?
If you really want to ask everyone a question why can't you just post it on AskReddit? All these "comment below" type posts remind me of 9gag or sites for pre pubescent humour. Honestly it's making this site go downhill.
I am honestly dumbfounded that these types of posts get thousands of upvotes.

I know it's a bit taboo to try and get industry info or network or casually mention you're a screenwriter while working on a film, but do you have any suggestions for approaching all this the proper way?
I'm in the production office, working on a film with an A-list director of comedy films you've definitely seen. Agents and producers here (some from CAA previously) that I talk to every day and shoot the shit with. I would love to at least let them know I'm interested in writing professionally, but I don't want to fan boy out or be 'that guy' - I hate that try hard stuff, and its cringy when I see it.
Right now I'm getting along amazingly with everyone. I would be happy just being friends with everyone I'm meeting here. The Producers have opened up about a lot about themselves, and industry stories, and all that, and I don't want to sully all that with "hey would you be interested in a heist script?" You know what I mean.
Any advice? Seems like a good opportunity to be seized here.
