Roughly a year ago, we built forum.packetpushers.net. This was a forum site built on vBulletin. The idea was to give the community another place to exchange ideas, share information, and help each other with challenges. After considering the matter for a couple of months, Greg and I are going to shut the site down. For […]

This Masterclass article series aims to provide in-depth technical information on the installation, usage and operation of the classic and supremely popular tcpdump network traffic analysis program including alternatives, running tcpdump as a process, building expressions, understanding output and more. I’ve covered the Basics, Parameters and filter Expressions previously; last up in the series is […]

Lovely user interface this isn’t. Here’s the command to make an E1 circuit on a Nortel TN4XE where the E1 card is in slot 13. (The first character should be a tilde rather than a hyphen):
~C N C S6-1-J1-K111&S8-1-J1-K111 S13-1
S6 and S8 are the slots where the aggregate cards are. J1 says to use the first VC4. K111 tells it to use the first VC3, the first TUG2 and the first VC12.
Within an STM-4 there are four STM-1s which equate roughly to VC4s. Within each VC4 are three VC3s. Within each VC3 are 7 x TUG2s. Within each TUG2 are 3 x VC12.
Confusing…
There’s a lot of great blogs and resources that get really deep into specific areas of tech. While it may sound really strange, this site is decidedly not one of them. The focus of The Tech Interview is quite different. Instead of focusing on the bits and bytes of technology, we look at the un-tech […]

It's been nearly a year since I had to take the community lab offline to relocate my home, and I still get frequent emails asking when it will be returned. Sadly, my plan to host it with my current employer didn't pan out, and I'm still searching for a suitable host in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area. (If you might be able to give the lab a good physical home, please let me know!)
I also get a lot of emails asking if I can share the scheduling application I used to make the lab available. In short, no, I can't. Not because I don't want to or because it's secret, but simply because that code was written specifically for the packetlife.net site and is not in the least bit portable. But these requests got me thinking: A lot of people obviously would like to be able to share their labs, they just need a platform. Maybe I could rewrite and improve upon the scheduling application to spin it off as its own service.
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have caught one or two references to a new project recently. Indeed, this is exactly Continue reading
