Current Events > 4AM network maintenance... Woo woo

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just gotta reboot a couple switches to upgrade the firmware and then I'm done. Easy stuff.

Your thread some days ago inspired me to start self-study in hopes of doing the same some fine day.
I have nothing else to contribute to this thread. Carry on.

Hell yeah. Let me know if you have any questions along the way. Feel free to PM them to me or tag me in a topic or whatever.

Ah, you had posted some links to study materials and the like. I actually missed those and started watching Youtube videos and making my own flashcards/taking notes. If you wouldn't mind PMing them, or simply posting them here, I would appreciate it. There's no telling exactly how much use I'll get out of them, but more material is never a bad thing. If you're OK with that.

Kinda this. I'm thinking of taking some courses at my CC this fall on Network Administration

See, you say "easy stuff" now, but it's the easy stuff like this where the switches don't come back up, or the VLAN config gets borked in the process, or some other thing comes out of left field and wrecks your entire plan. If you're reeeeeally lucky, you still have remote access and can hammer on it until it's sorted. If you're not, then you get the fun unexpected on-site.

Although, you're internal though, right? So you might be doing these on-site already.

I save configs excessively before doing stuff like this, lol. At this company, there is a ton of support infrastructure for the network team. We have whole teams of people who do on-site work so I don't have to be there unless I REALLY want to be there.

And during these times, they're actually forbidding me from being on site unless absolutely necessary.
