No snow at our house at 6AM, then the lake band shifted and by noon we got 6" which was enough to start up the snow blower.

RE: Deploying Polycom Phones Properly
So I should just get rid of the TOTE of 20 or so IP650 Polycom phones someone left on my desk?
(for those not in the know, my desk often becomes the Junk/Recycle pile collection site for some reason) -

RE: Packet loss when connected to L2TP/IPsec VPn
Whe we switched one of our sites from then Cox cable modem to AT&T fiber we had a similar issue with our Cisco ASA's (at the time) not establishing the tunnel consistently. We had to turn on WebVPN on the ASA (wasn't on before) and turn off NAT-T then it established fine. Not sure of similar setting on Ubiquiti devices. I'll check my notes was years ago may have another setting to try

RE: Redundant internet Connections for Servers
If you have a primary/failover type set up take a look at Peplink Balance products. They can do outside IP address translations and forwarding such that packets coming in on say 66.0.0.1 (Carrier A) can be sent to ip 12.0.0.1 (Carrier B) with in the device. They are expensive; but worth it. We used to use a Peplink Balance 580 here to both load balance between a (then ) Level 3 (Primary) and Time Warner (secondary) circuit but also to fail over; traffic would be re-directed via DNS (ether SRV secondary records or "round robin") to the secondary provider and the Balance 580 would essential NAT the address to the primary carrier's IP (on our equipment).

Tryign to find enough coffee to overcome the time change!
@gjacobse I would love to get back into radio but with the 2 kids hard to find time. Though my older one is starting to show a good science interest so maybe a father and sons building project is not too far off.

RE: Naming convention for VMs?
We do our by service then function. Examples.
AZDC01 = Azure Cloud DC
AWSSQL01 = Amazon sql box
For the few we run in-house/on prem we use location followed by function. We also have a few lab systems for testing we start those with either L or LAB -

trying to figure out why my backup server decided to go belly up over the weekend. Me suspects I'm driving to our colo today. ON a possible bright side said server may be "disposed of" depeneding on how the boss feels.

RE: VoIP echo issue ...
@BraswellJay You mentioned cell phones; by chance were they all on the same carrier? I know that is hard to determine but with my last carrier pretty much every incoming call issue we had (echo, packet dropping) turned out to be a Verizon cell phone on the other end. We reported to the carrier several times and they still never fixed it.

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
was checking out 1.1.1.1. Wondering why I cannot get there; l then remembering at some point maybe 10 years ago we had an application that used 1.0.0.0/8 as a "internal" network and the whole subnet's routed to a now non-existent application server. So I get rid of all the routing only to get a call from my manager wondering why the app suddenly doesn't work. I thought we were no longer using it?? So my Monday morning's now shot troubleshooting why we have this network (Before my time here yes it's THAT old)

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
3-5 seconds to open on any server or desktop I've worked on; definitely not "instant" but not "slow" either.

RE: Reconsidering ProxMox
Seen a lot of people on Reddit who love it. Myself I tried it maybe 3-4 months ago for giggles and felt too removed from the core OS/KVM to really lean anything. I am more in a learning phase so decided to pass for now.
