Hello there, Shall I introduce you to basic networking terminology in an "immersive" way while more real things are discussed, or should you be provided with a list of terms you have to get familiar with as a homework, if you really want to gain knowledge in networking field? I know that you would like to experience with the hardware as soon as possible, so I don't want you to get bored too quickly. Because of that I also won't duplicate the content which you have plenty of on the Internet, so you won't find here full-blown descriptions of ISO OSI model or anything else, I will just briefly point them out and describe them so you can get familiar and google for more knowledge if you are interested. Some of the terms however might be difficult for me to introduce inline, so at the very end of some Network Basics posts you will find "things to google" section for further reading. Alright, after kinda long introduction, it's time for takeoff. Genera...

Hello there, Recently I was providing class to a customer, when at some point we went off the topic to discuss their brand new Extreme-based infrastructure they are about to move to. This doesn't happen much often, as we have very experienced VARs as partners, so I would like to cherish the moment by making note on this. One of the ideas of the deployment was to utilize MLAG on Core-ToR connections.

My name is Tomasz (Thomas) and I've decided to run a blog. Yaay...!
