RE: Does VTP update the Description of vlans?posted in IT Discussion
@Duffney
It takes the vlan database of the server switch with the highest revision and sends it to every other switch in the VTP domain.Be careful though, VTP is a double edge sword.

RE: Can anyone point me to a good reference for SPF recordsposted in IT Discussion
You don't have to use A names you can keep to IP addresses. You can use the include argument as a kind of wildcard.
You can use MXtoolbox to check if your SPF record is correct. Just remember that some older DNS servers do not use the SPF type so you will have to use a txt record along with a SPF

@ambarishrh cheap storage don't mean good .. there's no SLA's on the site for example ... sounds a bit sketchy to me ..
Exactly. It's pretty easy to offer super cheap storage if you use 4TB WD Red drives in enormous arrays on RAID 6 in software RAID with heavy compression and dedupe and no backups.
But, but RAID is it own form of back up right? XD

You have a script to put your girls to bed? I know that the best admin is a lazy admin but that just takes the cake man.
