[Mikrotik] Training AND a donation

2015-06-26 Thread Butch Evans
THIS WEEK ONLY (by Saturday, June 27) , I will be donating 10% of ALL
sales for this class to a young man heading on a mission trip to teach
others about Jesus Christ. I have 5 seats sold this week and only 3
left. Here is the deal. By the way, the young man is the son of a WISP.
 IF I sell the remaining 3 seats before midnight on Saturday, June 27,
I will increase the donation to 12.5% of ALL sales this week. Please
help me raise money for this cause.

Time is running short for the upcoming MTCNA PLUS training in DFW July
20-24, 2015.  This is a Butch Evans Consulting training event.  Seats
are beginning to fill and there may not be many left by the end of
June.  See http://tinyurl.com/ofuy5tm for details and registration.

Those of you who have seen other trainers offer MTCNA courses in 3 days
may wonder why it takes me 5 days to offer this training.  It is
because of the hands on labs AND the much more concentrated coverage of
the materials.

References?
I could provide you with a long list of references, but I would rather
you ask around.  ANY of the mailing lists have hundreds of my satisfied
training customers on them.  Most training companies would rather pick
and choose which testimonials you see, but I'd rather you seek them
out for yourself.  That way, you will be better able to trust the
results of your research.  By the way, I recommend that if you plan to
attend ANY trainer's event, that you do the same.  There is nothing
worse than paying hundreds (or thousands) of dollars and being unhappy
with the results.

 Since I have like, virtually 0% of my sites needing to talk to each

The 60ish routers in an OSPF network is not really the issue.  If you
have that many routers in a broadcast domain, using smaller subnets
isn't likely to make much difference.  Although, NBMA can reduce the
neighbor list size.  You will most likely still have the same routing
table except all traffic would go through the hub router.  Frankly, you
will most likely be better off with a vlan per site and just trunk
those back to the MT and let it talk with one device that way (one
device per vlan, I mean).  It's hard to say for sure without a bit more
detail on how you have this set up, but that's my initial take-away.
