Mr. Bump on Oct 30th, 2008Same Word, Two Different Meanings
There are quite a few similarities between configuring a Cisco switch and a Foundry switch. There are at least two areas though where they are similar yet very, very different: link aggregation and frame tagging.
Let’s hit link aggregation first. In Cisco’s world its called “etherchannel.” In Foundry’s world its called “trunking.” Configuration wise Foundry’s trunking is much simpler […]
Mr. Bump on Oct 29th, 2008That Was A Huge Mistake
I did my first “spin” class tonight. Holy cow am I wishing I hadn’t done that about now. The first 20 minutes I was cruising right along but then it started going downhill fast. By minute 35 I wanted to pick the bike up and throw it at the instructor. The last ten minutes I couldn’t stand […]
Mr. Bump on Oct 28th, 2008I’ve Learned There Are Three Things…
you don’t discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin.
Tonight was a step back to yesteryear for me. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown was on the picture box tonight. I haven’t seen that cartoon in years but this evening I was lucky enough to watch it with Izzy. After The Family Guy was veto’d by […]

Mr. Bump on Oct 23rd, 2008Flash Player 10…Not Such A Good Idea
Not a good experience in our environment anyway. It appears that a Flash Player upgrade to the latest 10.x version may have inadvertently prevented us from accessing the management interface for our Nevis gear. The behavior we experienced logging into the management interface was identical to the behavior an endpoint that does not have Flash Player […]
Mr. Bump on Oct 22nd, 2008Has NAC Lost Its Buzz Word Status?
Is it just me or has NAC lost some of its “news worthiness?” Seems like I’m not seeing NAC mentioned nearly as often in publications and websites these days. Its been replaced in headlines that contain words like “cloud,” “virtualization” and “economy.” Perhaps our successful integration of NAC into our environment has caused me to […]
Mr. Bump on Oct 22nd, 2008Pinky Swear?
So there we sat today having one of our dozen or so daily conversations that would solve all of the worlds problems in one fell swoop and El Sidekick drops this insightful beauty out of left field: “You’re just cancelling out my vote so I need you to not vote.” Taking a few seconds to process this nugget I […]
Mr. Bump on Oct 21st, 2008Add Another One To The Big Board
That’s right, ladies and germs. The book count is up to 8. On my way out of town Friday afternoon I swung into Borders and bought a book for the flight which I finished tonight. Of course, it was a book about heroin addiction/recovery. That makes three heroin books in a row. The book was […]
