The difference is inContinue reading “Advertising a default route in BGP”

These SSN AP’s operate on both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz whichContinue reading “Lake Argyle – Sat and SSN”

UCS-E160D and CIMC

Here’s a much nicer look at that configuration. interface GigabitEthernet0/0 description [Link to 3850] ip address 172.22.39.65 255.255.255.248 interface ucse 4/0 descriptionContinue reading “UCS-E160D and CIMC”
