rules disclaimer: purposefully not listing which test this is and trying to be as ambiguous as possible, this could be real or entirely fictional and could appear on a variety of different exams, will eventually sanitize the post after some commentary but I am desperate at this point.

Failed again today and need opinions if i did this properly. Got a few labs all focused around the same subject and at the time i was thinking this is pretty straight forward and thinking i completed the tasks correctly and Aced it, but then at the end I got 60% in that section of the test. How close do you follow the tasks? do you do what is says specifically and thats it or do you go a little farther base

Anyone heard of this? Was chatting with my VAR and he mentioned there's some "industry wide price increases effecting all resellers". I can see something like this in the current covid-19 global situation but also am skeptical since I have a decent size purchase coming up. I've seen tarriff fees on a few quotes but this sounds like something more. Thoughts?

For awhile now I've been interested in satellite communication. From time to see I see some posts inquiring about sat com for like an island or i venture into r/science and might see a few posts. But I'm curious to know how many operators in this sub actually config/manage/deploy satellite networking? How many nodes? how did you get into this field - is it worth it? How are you handling IGP/routing across them? things like that.

With things like the Deep Space Network (DSN) and all the buzz of the new Space x network I'd like to get into it this subject more.

Does anyone have any suggestions for literature to learn about satellite communication? I see there are tons of books on ama

Been at a contract to hire for about 9 months. Supposedly I could get brought on at the end of January but it sounds like the contract might only be extended. It could also end as there's no true set of terms. The place has its pro's but some of the con's got me thinking about jumping ship. In addition I believe I'm paid below market value.

Would it be wise to contact my rep at the staffing agency to see about possible opportunities with them? Or could that have negative repercussions? I'm trying not to burn bridges if I leave early. But I also want to have something lined up before leaving.

With all this hurricane Harvey business its got me thinking what would you do if disaster hit? I see the "cajun navy" has gone to Texas to help the people who are flooded out but what about the network? I see social media once again is helping people a lot but as you know that requires a network connection.

Scenario: You work for a large municipality or local ISP and live about an hour away in the suburbs. A large hurricane/earthquake/sharknado has hit or will soon etc. What do you do? Your family is okay (or you're single) do you go and help the people the best way you know how?(keeping them connected) . what if the cell network or home internet is down and you can't remote in? If you'

Shall we fight and protect? Or police and shape?

The SDN overlords will QoS us into null0 once we go full implementation of our machine learning appliances. Then we as engineers won't have a choice. In my opinion its possible our stature as Network Engineers could be degraded in a future without net neutrality simply because of the negative perception associated with terms like "throttling" . People will see us as the corporate minions carrying out the will of our keepers.

There will always be preferred traffic, qos etc. But I believe we as NE should promote neutrality more than anyone else. And that's all I got to say about that.

As some of you may know the U.S. house of representatives has voted to repeal certain privacy rules ISP's would have had to abide by. I understand that this will make the market more competitive but as everyone probably agrees we like our privacy. The repeal is still awaiting the signature of the pres, but he's expected to sign.

Should this lead to stronger push for HTTPS, VPNs and encryption? (a past due call likely) Obviously this would help ensure privacy. Thoughts? Also anyone out there making a 2nd-amendment style will not comply statement? Curious to know what mechanisms could be used as well to gobble this information in a netflow style manner. thanks

IMO needs to be said, its easy to forget the big picture during our day to day. However to the average person they don't care. Is it our responsibility to help the people? Thoughts on the article

This might stem from my personal experiences meeting a few dumpers who have like 5+ Cisco certs .

Is having too many Cisco certs cause one to be perceived negatively or possible pigeon holed? Ie "oh they only know Cisco" or "they must have dumped all the tests!/paper cert"

I have a ccnp and ccna sec. Been thinking of what to do next cert wise and also exploring new job opportunities. CCDA is tempting . so is JNCIA but its like getting a ccent over again when I'm already passed that which seems kinda useless. Also security+ but then I already have ccnas. I guess you can see where I'm going with this.

Thoughts?

Hello, need clarification.

BS in IT or IT - security.

Example: I see there's mention of courses that "prepare you" for comptia A+ and Network + and CCNA etc. However there's no mention of taking the test, but I've seen people talking about it.

I'm sure my CCNP could get the CCNA waived, however is taking and passing a outside certification test like A+ required to pass the applicable class?

The reason I ask is that this effects my time planning when weighing if this WGU BS is worth it ($$ limitations on terms). I don't really have a desire to take A+ and I know most of the stuff on network+ (which I guess is a pro). I also see mention if linux+ which I rarely if ever use. Anyway tha

Hello,

I've been job searching for the last month. I googled my name and i see some old court records show up from http://www.courtrecords.org . I did some searching and found this is an issue for a lot of people - these sites scrape free info like court records then charge you $$$ to remove them. When i look at the opt-out form it asks for so much personal information that no one in their right mind would fill that out and give all the information they're requesting. Its like the 4th result on goolge and shows "6 records" which are just traffic citations but it shows as "Criminal" at the top, then "Citation" at the bottom (They're from over 10 years ago).

I did get 1 offer from a desper
