Licensing – It never gets better, it just gets more awkward

December 15, 2017 by Stephen Foskett

Licensing – It never gets better, it just gets more awkward

When you’re hearing a briefing from a IT company, it’s easy to get bogged down in new features, architectural changes, and value propositions. What often gets lost when taking a high level overview is the actual implementation and living with a solution long term. Jake Snyder does a great job illustrating the licensing morass that […]

The Use of NAT Mode on Meraki MR Access Points

December 9, 2014 by Tom Hollingsworth Leave a Comment

Avaya: Building the Shortest Path Bridge

October 9, 2014 by Tom Hollingsworth Leave a Comment

Jake Snyder of Transmit Failure writes: I know there are a few delegates out there who weren’t overly enthusiastic about Avaya’s very network-centric presentation and wanted to “Get to the Wi-Fi.”  But one thing we sometimes forget is that there is no Wi-Fi without the underlying network for that data to run on.  I honestly […]

Teaser: Project Rawrbox – My idea for remote wireless diagnostics

August 6, 2014 by Tom Hollingsworth Leave a Comment

Jake Snyder of Transmit Failure comments: So I’m sure everyone has noticed that the blog has quieted down a bit since #WFD6.  I could tell you that work’s been busy, that I’ve completed my CCIE-W (#43153), but those are excuses.  I will put some more focus into the blog for the next few months as […]

August 5, 2014 by Stephen Foskett Leave a Comment

Jake Snyder of Transmit Failure comments: We are literally days away from the 7th installment of Wireless Field Day.  I’m really hoping (borderline begging) to hear a couple vendors talk about their Software Defined Network (SDN) solutions.  Now before you hop on the “Shut-up about SDN” bandwagon, here’s why I see this as a hot […]

Thoughts on Eliminating VLANs at the Access-Layer Edge

July 15, 2014 by Tom Hollingsworth Leave a Comment

Jake Snyder of Transmit Failure comments: There’s a lot of talk in the industry about getting away from VLAN segmentation and relying on stateful firewalls at our access-layer edge to govern control over what users have access to.  This is a great idea, it solves issues with IPv6 and it simplifies network design.  But there […]

Airtight Networks: A look at WIPS – Part 1

February 17, 2014 by Tom Hollingsworth Leave a Comment

Jake Snyder of Transmit Failure comments: When it comes to security, I have a personal motto: Think maliciously, act responsibly.  I really enjoy trying to manipulate clients, exploiting behavior and finding ways to prevent it in the “real world”. Great post about the AirTight WIPS presentation from Wireless Field Day 6. Read more at:  Airtight […]
