ShoreTel isn't cheap to get into, but its very easy to manage and very powerful. Great support.

Look up perfSONAR.

EAP-PEAP typically is best used in a University setting with so many users having BYOD.

They have lifetime replacement warranty. The 3 years is for 24/7 support thats included with the switch. I have had HP gear that's been in production for 10+ years before we replaced it.

What is your concern? Not realizing maximum throughput across VPN tunnel? You can use iperf (jperf gui for windows if you'd like) and test different window sizes with simultaneous streams to verify throughput.

The article is a bit misleading. These controls can only be activated through the actual physical OBD2 port under the dash. They are testing features for dealerships to verify functionality of the car's systems. It's not like you can just get in the vicinity of the car and take control.

I manage a large fortinet shop. IMO, the biggest benefit PA has over Fortigate is how they rate throughputs. Once you learn how to properly size a fortigate, they are excellent appliances and still more cost effective. Your sentence starts out just like every PA sales pitch I've entertained.

Actually the premium license is a thing of the past, all premium features are now available through the latest firmware update. The 3500yl handles iSCSI traffic with no issue, and of course supports jumbo frames, etc. You can use any Ethernet port on a 3500yl for host connectivity.

You are correct. I'd start out with a basic ubuntu server install.

A LAMP comes with Apache not NGINX.

The 3500yl is a great switch, very powerful. They are a little more affordable now that they are being replaced with the 3800 series. They run the same firmware as the 5400/8200 series switches as well.

I'll even expand on this. In a larger, enterprise type environment, network professionals don't do server or systems work. This is a challenge I face quite a bit when hiring: an applicant will come from a MSP or small shop where "network engineer" is a title for someone who plugs in switches and...

TechJunkie I have many network admins that work for me. I will hire experience and confidence any day of the week over a degree. Degrees (especially baccalaureate) are highly conceptual and teach minimal practical knowledge, if any. If I'm hiring an admin, I want them to have the confidence and...

Work experience, hands-on experience.
