• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Network overhaul on the "cheap".

    They have lifetime replacement warranty. The 3 years is for 24/7 support thats included with the switch. I have had HP gear that's been in production for 10+ years before we replaced it.

    What Diagnostic Process to Reveal MTU as Culprit on IpSEC VPN Tunnel?

    What is your concern? Not realizing maximum throughput across VPN tunnel? You can use iperf (jperf gui for windows if you'd like) and test different window sizes with simultaneous streams to verify throughput.

    Network security in smart cars

    The article is a bit misleading. These controls can only be activated through the actual physical OBD2 port under the dash. They are testing features for dealerships to verify functionality of the car's systems. It's not like you can just get in the vicinity of the car and take control.

    Fortinet vs Watchguard WiFi

    I manage a large fortinet shop. IMO, the biggest benefit PA has over Fortigate is how they rate throughputs. Once you learn how to properly size a fortigate, they are excellent appliances and still more cost effective. Your sentence starts out just like every PA sales pitch I've entertained.

    Cheapish OpenFlow enabled Switch (hardware) & Dell PE5524 Question

    Actually the premium license is a thing of the past, all premium features are now available through the latest firmware update. The 3500yl handles iSCSI traffic with no issue, and of course supports jumbo frames, etc. You can use any Ethernet port on a 3500yl for host connectivity.

    Cheapish OpenFlow enabled Switch (hardware) & Dell PE5524 Question

    The 3500yl is a great switch, very powerful. They are a little more affordable now that they are being replaced with the 3800 series. They run the same firmware as the 5400/8200 series switches as well.

    To work as a Network Admin need a degree?

    I'll even expand on this. In a larger, enterprise type environment, network professionals don't do server or systems work. This is a challenge I face quite a bit when hiring: an applicant will come from a MSP or small shop where "network engineer" is a title for someone who plugs in switches and...

    To work as a Network Admin need a degree?

    TechJunkie I have many network admins that work for me. I will hire experience and confidence any day of the week over a degree. Degrees (especially baccalaureate) are highly conceptual and teach minimal practical knowledge, if any. If I'm hiring an admin, I want them to have the confidence and...
