Guest Wi-Fi access should always be ‘easy, peasy’

My kids use the expression “easy, peasy” to describes something that is super simple. For example, I might ask my youngest child, “How was your math test?” And because high school math is beyond simple, he would respond, “Easy, peasy.” In life, there are things that should be easy, but we often overcomplicate them. One thing that should be easy every time is signing on to guest Wi-Fi. The fact that it isn’t, makes it one of my biggest pet peeves.+ Also on Network World: 9 free Wi-Fi stumbling and surveying tools + Before I get into the why, I’ll take a step back and define guest Wi-Fi. Webopedia describes it as “a wireless router feature that is designed to allow users to easily grant visitor access to your wireless Internet connection.” Not to nitpick, but it’s more a Wi-Fi feature than a router feature, but most readers of this will get that. Also, note the word EASY in the definition, so all you Wi-Fi administrators out there, take note. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Better spelling with GNU’s aspell

GNU's aspell is a very useful tool for fixing potential typos in files. It not only picks out your misspellings and displays them to you; it offers you a list of potential corrections and applies your changes as instructed. And it often remembers the fixes that you've applied.Hopefully, you’ve spotted the typo in this post’s image. If you had a file containing the word “appertizers”, this clever utility would help you to spot and replace it.Say you had a file named "oops" that contained this typo: $ cat oops Please list the appertizers in alphabeticle order. If you asked aspell to check this file with the command “apsell check oops”, it would present the file contents with the word “appertizer” highlighted and offer the list below as options for correcting the error.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Evolution from PINs to PICs Cloud Networking

Networking is simply so cool again after decades of static and stagnant silo designs. The rapid acceptance of universal cloud spine across a variety of clouds and industry verticals is a testament to just how critical of a problem this is to IT. By adopting a clean sheet of modern methodologies and code with a programmable state-based foundation, we are embarking on the next frontier.

ETL is slowing down real-time data analytics

The data transformation tool known as ETL, or extract, transfer and load, is slowing down companies’ ability to do real-time data analysis, costing those companies business opportunities and making their analytics inefficient. That is the result of a survey of 502 IT professionals conducted by IDC on behalf of InterSystems Corp., a high-performance database management vendor. The survey also found that Changed Data Capture (CDC) technology is also slowing companies down and impeding their ability to do real-time data analysis. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

EVPN lab – EVPN-VXLAN to EVPN-MPLS stitching

Last big topic that I need to practice – Data Center Interconnect (DCI).
Fortunately I pretty confident in my skills in the MPLS L3VPN area, so I think I shouldn’t spend much time for this topic.
The most complex DCI option remains – EVPN stitching. In this topic I will show you my example of EVPN-VXLAN to EVPN-MPLS stitching (there is also option of EVPN-VXLAN to EVPN-VXLAN stitching, but configuration should be similar to my example).
EVPN stitching concept is pretty simple – you just need to configure two EVPN instances on each of DC Gateway devices (MX routers) and connect them to each other using Logical Tunnel (lt-) interfaces.
Scheme of my EVPN stitching lab:

Due to time constraints I’ll show you only the upper part of topology – stitching on vMX1 and vMX3 routers. Configurations of vMX2 and vMX4 should be exactly the same as this ones.
So lets see vMX1 routing-instances configuration:
