2020

Fortigate ECMP with BGP

It's like clock work...around this time the seasons are changing..autumn colors are out, and the colder air reminds us that things are changing around here, embrace it! One thing that I've been working with is AWS Transit gateways, a common theme this year is all cloud! AWS Transit Gateways make it easier to move towards that!

It's Always Changing

Something that I've been pondering while working from home and I think everybody is doing this... re-evaluating their priorities. I like to call it the loop, we get so caught into repetition...its our comfort when things are predictable but when something comes along and changes our lives, good or bad we have to adapt to those changes and potentially change our life direction.

VTIs with ASA

I've been stuck in more ways then one this year...working from home indefinitely seems to be the status quo right now, and I'm in "tunnel" mode for most part. Most of these projects I'm working on all of common theme.. connect on-premise to more cloud resources! One way to do that is using VTIs. (Virtual Tunnel Interfaces) VTIs which are not new...been around for a bit, Cisco IOS had the feature available like 10+ years ago! We only got introduced into this technology with ASA when version 9.7 (2017) and above arrived....

The World Keeps Turning

Well..couple of things have changed these past months that have had a lasting impact on everyone on this earth. A single reminder that we all share a common home on this place, even though we sometimes think were world's apart from each other.

Goals

Every year I think about goals, either how to conquer them, reflect on them, and recently change them. We all have been there, we have a plan in our head that we follow for a handful of years or even decades... something happens... all of sudden things change. It's this change that I believe is so important to life, we can't and shouldn't be static, we have to change in order to grow ourselves.
