Homepage

Changed the theme and working on page changes for the new theme.

This site is for everything I have done over 30+ years!!

It covers all my awesome workstation builds
It covers programming that I have done
It covers my Cisco CCNP and CCDP work
All my CCNA/CCNP simulations from Packet Tracer and my Cisco Virtual Lab

Linux

I have been expanding my Ubuntu 18.04 network at home.

  • Two WordPress servers:  I am running the latest LAMP components 

  • Two DNS servers with IPv4 and IPv6:  Installing ISC Bind was time consuming.  Getting the permission correct for all the components was a challenge because they were not mentioned in the setup guides. 

  • DHCP server for IPv4 and IPv6 on one of the DNS servers.  I will slave it to the other one soon

  • RootCA and IntermediateCA: I still need to get Godaddy certificates for them, if cost effective.

  • Programmer server (Ubuntu Desktop with GUI): Python is on it.  xorgxrdp is working for RDP connections

  • Syslog server: for my Fortinet 60E firewall

  • Mariadb server: for future database projects

  • File server: to store install files and notes

    LTS Enablement installed on them to be on Kernel 5.x. 

How to prepare for interviews

New Cisco Virtual Lab simulation page

My mentor said to be called an engineer you need three things?”

1.) You needed a Bachelor’s degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering.

2.) Experience and the education into the future. We continue our education beyond our Bachelor’s degree. We research new technology to better serve the corporation’s needs. We bring new ideas to the table.

3.) Engineers bring solutions not problems to management.

This site will take you on the 30+ year journey into being an engineer

My late father always said the easy road is never the right road to take.
Knowledge requires effort and time to gain.

Unlikely adventures require unlikely tools.
Your life is an occasion, Rise to it!

Never fear answers, only fear running out of questions.

IT Pro.tv gave me my own page to post my Cisco VIRL simulations to for their users.
