Re: [AFMUG] Used Juniper

The key is to make your network modular so you can swap out Cisco for Juniper 
or Juniper for Cisco or whatever the flavor of router/switch you may like at 
that point in time. Try not to get tied to an ecosystem.

[AFMUG] optical TX power levels

[Zach Underwood]

I got 2x 100gb 80km optics from FS that run difficult default TX power
levels one is 3.81dBm and the other 2.63dBm, the config on the arista
devices hosting the optics is the same.

Has anyone seen much difference between optic like this? My sample size is
small due to the optices costing $4k each

Re: [AFMUG] Used Juniper

[dmmoffett]

I started on Cisco forever ago.  During my WISP times it was a blend of 
Mikrotiks and refurb Cisco’s.

I started on Juniper a few years ago.  It was alien at first, but I learned to 
like it.  Networks are never homogenous….at least not forever. 

And after 25 years of scripting, programming, system admin, network 
engineering, etc I have had to learn a lot of different syntax so I don’t see a 
problem adding one more to the mix.  I wouldn’t have a lot of sympathy for an 
employee  who’s stuck on Juniper or Cisco and doesn’t want to do the other.

 

Call me crazy if you want.

Juniper has an entirely different programming style that Cisco.. most network 
folks like one or the other, I would not suggest mixing them in your network.
