Re: NEED ANY LINK OR SAMPLE TEMPLATE FOR ROUTINE NETWORK (ISP)

Folks,

Since the last internet cleaning day, we've discovered that straightening the 
ethernet cables as much as possible,  eliminating unnecessary bends and kinks 
significantly speeds up the network.

Also, taking a cue from my sports car, we've contracted with a supplier to make 
all our new cabling with steel braided sheathing on the exterior.

Now, if I could only figure out how to install a Cooler Master CPU cooler on my 
AGS+ core router...

Is this for extreme routing?  Or do the terms of your maintenance schedule
change based on routing conditions.  My owners manual says that turning on
the router is extreme.  sending a packet with a GET string is extreme, but I 
take
them to JiffyTic's every now and then for their .signature service.

and never forget to check the circuit breakers for good grounding,
prefered use an etherkill(tm) cable - but be aware, that there is 
currently no such cable available for fiber optics.


If you are unshure if your fiber cables are properly grounded try to use
an optical isolation transformer.

Change your router's oil every three months or six thousand petabytes,
whatever it comes first, some models may require maintenance sooner
than you expect or plan, others may run forever and become difficult
to find where the heck are they located.

Some devices designed in Japan have the tendency to randomly increase
out of control the speed of your interfaces, if you experience that
problem send them to the factory for refurbishing and to be resold to
a poor ISP.

Never, ever, clean fiber optic connectors with spit ...

a year - the next one is just 15 days away.  Maybe that's the problem - go

Yes of-course , people will not do it for free..Even i am not asking people
to do it for free,,

I just asked,what people follow it on their network or is their any links to
follow the standards or samples or templates , so that it can add more
perfection in the docs.We all come across these kind of requirements once in
while , we may need to find it through google or forums or blogs..etc.

Asking or requesting or consulting with people is not an bad idea ..that's
the reason we have internet to share stuff and get others opinion on...if at
all, it (my mail) bothered you in any case. please ignore...May be you are
looking into this in different view.

.It doesn't mean that we have a title that every one knows

anyway ...my mail might have bothered you a lot.sorry for that.

Dear Mister Vadivel,

First of all, it would be more enjoyable if you didn't write the title 
of your email in capital letters. People will assimilate this as spam.


Moreover, I have already asked myself if you were serious in your post 
about "clean pipes". A two seconds search on Google was enough to 
provide you the needed replies.


According to your Linkedin profile [1], you are a network consultant.

This post is more than questionable. What are you paid for ?

I suppose that Mister Lenton laugh to not tell you that he will not do 
your homeworks for free as everybody on this mailing-list.


On my side, I simply find this pathetic.

Good luck :) !
