Layer-3 WAN Handoff (L3Out) in VXLAN/EVPN Fabrics

I got a question from a few of my students regarding the best way to implement end-to-end EVPN across multiple locations. Obviously there’s the multi-pod and multi-site architecture for people believing in the magic powers of stretching VLANs across the globe, but I was looking for something that I could recommend to people who understand that you have to have a L3 boundary if you want to have multiple independent failure domains (or availability zones).

Heavy Wireless 010: Using Drones In Your WLAN Consulting

Drones can be a useful tool for outdoor wireless surveys. Drones can help an engineer figure out the best place to mount a radio, get line of sight between points, confirm antenna orientation, and save a lot of climbing up and down ladders. On today's Heavy Wireless, Keith Parsons speaks with Mike Wade, a wireless design engineer who uses drones in his survey work, about the certifications and requirements necessary to add a drone to your toolkit.

Heavy Networking 698: Integrating Edge Networking And Compute With VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator (Sponsored)

On today’s Heavy Networking we explore the edge. But where is the edge? In today's conversation with sponsor VMware, it's a remote location where data is being generated. It could be end users in a branch office, or IoT devices and sensors on a factory floor. These edge locations needs integrated compute and networking to run application workloads while also being able to  connect to cloud applications and services. We discuss the VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator, which provides unified management for networking and compute at remote sites.

Tech Bytes: Introducing The Network Automation Forum And AutoCon Event (Sponsored)

Today on the Tech Bytes podcast we discuss the Network Automation Forum (NAF) and its inaugural independent conference--AutoCon 0. The networking industry has been taking about automation forever, but most engineers and organizations don't get much beyond a few scripts. The Network Automation Forum wants to change that by serving as a salon where enterprises, service providers, and vendors can talk openly about what works, what doesn't, and how to advance the state of the art.

Incrementing and decrementing numeric variables in bash

When preparing scripts that will run in bash, it’s often critical to be able to set up numeric variables that you can then increment or decrement as the script proceeds. The only surprising part of this is how many options you have to choose from to make the increment or decrement operation happen.Incrementing numeric variables First, to increment a variable, you first need to set it up. While the example below sets the variable $count to 1, there is no need to start at 1.$ count=1 This would also work:$ count=111 Regardless of the initial setting, you can then increment your variable using any of the following commands. Just replace $count with your variable name.To read this article in full, please click here

3 types of incremental forever backup

A traditional backup starts with an initial full backup and is followed by a series of incremental or cumulative incremental backups (also known as differential backups). After some period of time, you will perform another full backup and more incremental backups. However, the advent of disk-based backup systems has given rise to the concept of the incremental forever approach, where only one backup is performed followed by a series of incremental backups. Let’s take a look at the different ways to do this.File-level incremental forever The first type of incremental forever backup is a file-level incremental forever backup product. This type of approach has actually been around for quite some time, with early versions of it available in the ‘90s. The reason why this is called a file-level incremental is that the decision to backup an item happens at the file level. If anything within a file changes, it will change its modification date (or archive bit in Windows), and the entire file will be backed up. Even if only one byte of data was changed within the file, the entire file will be included in the backup.To read this article in full, please click here
