Esteban Paniagua, CCIE #46910
“I wanted to say thanks to the iPexpert team, since I contacted sales to book my 5 day lab boot camp the service they provided me was truly world-class!! I attended the Collaboration boot camp with Andy; he was really knowledgeable, willing to go over details during his explanations and had great communication skills. I passed my CCIE Collaboration on the first try, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your materials and boot camp. Thanks again!”

The Longest Match Rule
One of the the concepts that comes up occasionally is that of precedence. For example, one might consider the following routing table entries.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.1 //default route ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 1.1.1.2 //supernet/cidr route ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.3 //network route ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.128 1.1.1.4 //subnet route ip route 192.168.1.20 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.5 //host route
Questions often arise around which path a packet would take when it matches more than one entry. For example, a packet may have a destination address of 192.168.1.20. In this case it matches every single route entry.
The logic is actually simple, even straightforward. A packet will follow the most specific route entry that it matches. So a packet destined to 192.168.1.20 would be routed to a router at 1.1.1.5. If the destination happened to be 192.168.1.21, it would be routed over to 1.1.1.4.
Python and Jinja2 Tutorial
“How should I get started with Network Automation?” I am often asked this question by network engineers looking to build new programming skills. If you are brand new to writing Python scripts and are looking for an easy on-ramp to the network automation superhighway, I’d suggest starting with Jinja2 – the de-facto python template engine. Template building […]

Nashua Telegraph: Plexxi likes the Nashua network
By David Brooks
There are plenty of reasons to locate a tech startup in one place rather than another. For networking firm Plexxi, part of Nashua’s appeal is institutional memory. “There’s definitely a talent base up here, from the days of Wang, DataGeneral and Digital. That’s a very complex, system-oriented world, ” said Rich Napolitano, who has been CEO since November, and whose first job out of college was at Digital Equipment Corp. in almost the same building where Plexxi now resides.

Networking Field Day – Afterthoughts – New SolarWinds features.
One thing I really liked about SolarWinds was the fact they were the first vendor to start with a white board discussion. Being a network engineer I am a big fan of drawing boxes and lines on a white board. To me it is a more engaging way to have a presentation compared pre-built […]
