Extreme Networks has come to an agreement to acquire Zebra Technologies’ wireless LAN business.
Todays show, sponsored by VMware, debates network complexity vs. capability. Do overlays such as VXLAN make networks more complex and sacrifice visibility, or provide new capabilities and help make networks more flexible? The post Show 306: Debating Network Complexity & Capability With VMware (Sponsored) appeared first on Packet Pushers.

The benefits of SDN with network virtualization.
Service Providers networks are always have complex requirements of multi-tenancy, routing & security and pose challenges to network architects. In this blog I will write about SRX integration in Svc Provider Network while highlighting methodologies how to handle challenges of implementing security features with multi-tenancy and routing consideration.

We had a rousing discussion about DevOps at Cloud Field Day this week. The delegates talked about how DevOps was totally a thing and it was the way to go. Being the infrastructure guy, I had to take a bit of umbrage at their conclusions and go on a bit of a crusade myself to defend infrastructure from the predations of developers.
DevOps folks want to talk about continuous improvement and continuous development (CI/CD) all the time. They want the freedom to make changes as needed to increase bandwidth, provision ports, and rearrange things to fit development timelines and such. It’s great that they have they thoughts and feelings about how responsive the network should be to their whims, but the truth of infrastructure today is that it’s on the verge of collapse every day of the week.
Networking is often a “best effort” type of configuration. We monkey around with something until it works, then roll it into production and hope it holds. As we keep building more patches on to of patches or try to implement new features that require something to be disabled or bypassed, that creates a house of cards that is only as Continue reading

In my earlier blog (Junos High Availability Design Guide) it was discussed how to make use of redundant routing engines by configuring features like (GRES, NSR, NSB) for reduction of downtime to minimum possible level.
The real problem is that one RE is active at one time and all PFEs must be connected with active RE . In case of failure of primary Routing Engine (RE) the backup RE will take over and all PFEs now, needs to connect to new primary RE. This scenario can cause momentary disruption of services.
MC-LAG (Active-Active) is correct solution to above described problem as it offers 2 active REs in 2 different devices/ chassis. Important concepts for MC-LAG proper configuration / functionality are as under:-
