Network noob here, what's the general opinion on Aryaka?

Two domains and two web servers, one forward facing IP.

I have two web servers running on the same LAN and two domains both pointed at the forward facing IP but I am unsure how to set up each domain to the respective web servers. I think I am supposed to use a reverse proxy? I have a windows server 2012 r2 system running a DNS server if that can be used to help.

Sorry if this question is too entry level for this sub.

Managed Switches and Subnet Masks

I recently purchased a managed 24 Port Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch. I have two separate networks with two different masks (255.255.255.0 and 255.0.0.0). I'm trying to get these two networks to communicate over the new switch but I must be missing something. I've narrowed it down to the masks being different and I know I must be missing a setting within EdgeMax. Any ideas?

Learning about Blueprints/Floor plans in networking?

Hey everyone.

In my previous role, I worked at a credit card processor in a single data center with no construction ever. Now in my new role as a Network Analyst, I deal with a lot of floor plans/blue prints in CAD. It's been over 15 years since I've dabbled in some AutoCAD and read prints. Is there somewhere where I could get a crash course on learning to read prints and understanding the different Icons/hashed areas/etc.? Just out of curiosity, is this something other network analyst/engineers do or deal with regularly?

Home Networking - Vlan help needed

I'm a noob when it comes to Networking. Currently all I have is a Verizon provided router.

I plan on getting the Netgear Arlo Pro 2 camera system (for security reasons I wanted to put them on a separate vlan)

I want to create 3 vlans for: personal electronics / guests / arlo cameras.

How would I go about doing this?

From what I've read I was thinking of buying a new wireless router (use as wap), and a L3 switch (to create the vlans). Is that right? Do I need other equipment? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Today is the day we multihome BGP.

In about a half an hour, we're going to turn up two new Internet connections to our campus. When it's finished, we'll be running multihomed BGP across two ISPs. And I'm getting a little nervous. We did as much testing as we could earlier in the week, but we had propagation issues: first we only advertised a /26 (which Cisco Advanced Services didn't make us aware was an invalid advertisement) and then when we fixed it, some sort of autosummary occurred and we took ourselves down.

Twice.

In twelve hours.

These are things that happen. Outages were less than 10 minutes each time but felt like forever. Comcast says they're not summarizing, our other ISP says they're not, so maybe that was out of our hands. Short of really digging into it and keeping the whole place offline we were up a creek. Seemed like we blackholed to the new router, which wasn't linked to the production network. But while we were up on that link, testing was fine.

So we're going full speed ahead: advertise the full route everywhere, the specific NAT pools at each router, and see what happens. I think we'll be OK. We don't have a lot of BGP experience, but techs from both ISPs will be available, and it's pretty straightforward.

The scotch is at the ready for when I get home.

We who are about to die salute you.

Networking Course Project: Calendar about implementation

Hey! i'm a computing student and in my network class i have to do a project and i'm "Stuck" on "Generate" a calendar about timmings on the network instalation.
