Should i do CCNP security or Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE)?

I use both palo alto firewall and ASA in my project. I was told palo also certification has more value nowadays than Cisco's security cert. However i was browsing several job openings & majority of them asked for knowledge of ASA rather than palo alto.

So iam confused as to whether to do CCNP security (as CCNA security has been stopped by cisco) or Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer?

I am also wondering whether majority of the concepts, protocols covered in either of them will be same (except for names assigned by respective companies)?



Limited connection connecting Arris SB6183 to Synology 2600ac, Comcast

I recently got an Arris SB6183 to replace my Comcast provided Modem/Router. When trying to connect it through my Synology 2600ac it says "Limited Connection" and refuses to connect anything on my network to the internet. It'll get an IP, Gateway and all that but refuses to connect. After two hours it did start working, but then the Arris cycled power and refused to reconnect.

Steps I've tried:

- Cycling power to both modem and router multiple times - Changing ISP settings to set the MAC Address to the old modem's address - Activating the modem, given it wants to allow me to 

Anyone have an idea what I may be missing?



ISO the "best" video conferencing.

Does anyone know of a video conferencing platform that

  1. Works on mobile devices, with video/audio without having to install an app?
  2. Offers dial-in number issuing, ideally toll-free as options?
  3. Streams as high as the individual user's connection supports, so if they're using a 1080p webcam and have 30Mbps internet with minimal jitter, I shouldn't see artifacts. In other words, is not applying arbitrary QoS?

OnSIP is the closest I've gotten, but it doesn't offer phone numbers unless you set it up as a separate 'thing'. Which is too bad because its video conference is by far and away the best I've seen, but the reality is that some people would rather route their audio through an actual phone.

I have Teams, it has the convenience of kicking one up from Outlook and internal convenience, but the video quality is extremely lacking compared to what OnSIP offers.



Help with CableIQ results.

Please forgive my ignorance, not my area of expertise here but I’m just trying to learn more. Basically my first time using a CableIQ. I looked through the manual but none of the examples look like the issue I encountered.

Here are the results of the tests I’m confused about.

This is a copper link from two buildings that had been working previously until recently the switches started flapping. The switches were tested as working properly when directly connected.

Thanks for any input/help.



Smaller budget switch options

We are a smaller MSP who normally deal with Juniper and Cisco options.

That being said, I have just come into this company last week, and have been tasked with finding a more budget friendly solution for our smaller clientel.

Requirements.

Reliability

8/24/48 Ports options

PoE for IP phones

Ability to program Vlan.

Of course I was not given a "About this Price" more of a, gather some options.As I said this is a very new upgraded position for me, so previous knowledge is very limited.That being said, before just throwing a post out, I have already put some options together.

Currently I am looking into the HPE 1920 series, I don't know if we should stay entirely away from Netgear.But looking into some of the GS option.

Thanks for any help.



F5 BIG-IP - Forward traffic to all nodes in a pool?

Does anybody know if this is possible? I'm a little unsure how this would actually work from a clients perspective, but i'm checking if this is possible. Can I forward all traffic onto all nodes within a pool? I am looking at the 'clone' function in irule, but it doesn't seem to be working as I'd hoped.

To make things more difficult I'm having to use SSL bridging on this virtual server. The irule i've got so far is:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

clone pool pool1 member 10.10.10.1 8440

clone pool pool1 member 10.10.10.2 8440

clone pool pool1 member 10.10.10.3 8440

clone pool pool1 S member 10.10.10.4 8440

}

Using this code, I get "connection refused" when hitting the virtual server. If I change the second line to:

pool pool1 member 10.10.10.1 8440

It works, or at least, the client gets content back, however the stats show 10.10.10.1 as having a connection, and also 10.10.10.4 but not the other two!

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

How to make all connections to a sever happen over OpenVPN?

Hello,

I have a server setup with OpenVPN installed + an ASA, I'm able to make connections with configured clients. Now I want every connection that happens like SSH, VNC, etc, to work if and only if the client has the VPN connection and refuse everything/everyone else. Can I do this with one server only or do I need another server for that? How would something like that work or be setup? Any help would be appreciated.
