Great job pinpointing that issue. Working solo in healthcare is no easy feat, and you have my utmost respect for managing it all on your own. Your dedication and expertise truly stand out. Keep up the amazing work.
I appreciate your insight. I battle very similar things at work and the answer isn't always obvious. Kudos to you for finding the solution to the problem!
It certainly can be a battle. Sometimes the solution is obvious and sometimes you back into it like in this case. As long as it's solved then I'm good. God bless and Merry Christmas!
Your just a true blessing that keeps on blessing us with your daily Admin duties. I believe you do a great job, and like I said before, following your daily routine inspires me to continue learning the Network Admin field. Moving up from a basic IT Technician is a great step for me. When we pass by Cali, I hope we could have a coffee together 🙏🏾
@@johnnythe3rd182 Thank you for that. However, I am hundreds of miles away from those fires. These people all had their fire insurance cancelled recently and have now lost everything they own. Literally thousands of homes. They need your prayers. God bless!
Thanks for taking us through your process on this. I've been in the computer biz for many decades and now I'm becoming a network admin. I learn a lot from someone else's challenges. I know the pressure of being the only one to handle certain types of problems. We got rid of Dell and moved to another networking vendor. I'm having some SNMP V3 and other problems of my own. 🙃 My network is nothing compared to yours but still has its challenges.
Glad it was helpful. Each network has its own "personality" if you will. Its own challenges and upsides. We all have to adapt to whatever network we're managing. God bless and Merry Christmas!
Nice to have this one solved right before Christmas. It was probably that no one reported issues other than the SNMP traffic droping that set you off on in the wrong direction. Regarding the fiber cleaning, you might want to get a digital fiber microscope. They're quite pricy which is why I don't have one. But for the other link flap issue you have it might be worth renting or having an installer with you that has one his/her toolkit.
Our engineering team probably has one. I've never really asked. I'm going to try to work on this issue with my new protege to give him some experience messing about with fiber. God bless!
It's a 40G LR4 optic, so 40G is split into 4x 10G lanes. Each lane is a separate wavelength over the same physical fibre. I've never seen an optic fail like that before, but then again, I haven't been computer networking many years. I'm also a team of one network (and DC) engineer some small insignificant issues are just way down the list to spend time looking into to fix.
Thanks for the info! Even the Extreme Networks tech on the phone couldn't explain what the TX1-4 and RX1-4 meant. They are horrendously expensive (in my book) and that's probably why they are under maintenance along with the rest of the switch hardware. They sent me a replacement for free. God bless!
Great Job. You were much nicer in responding to the comment about you skills as a Network Admin than a person like my self (From New York City) would have been 😉 As usual, God Bless You.
New Yorkers are like that one relative that always slaps you on the back too hard and plays too rough but you definitely want them around when you're being bullied. That one relative that says "Hey-o, oh-ay, you mess wit one of us you mess wit all of us."
Why on earth would anyone be negative about your methods. We both work the old school way, one step at a time. You will never hear anything negative from me my friend.
I think my mentioning the name of Jesus irk this person more than my methods. Or possibly he can't get a job as a network admin and doesn't understand why. Either way he just needs prayer. God bless and Merry Christmas!
Yeah, I kind of chuckle at the people who demand root causes. Especially when they are in management. "Okay, even if I am able to find the root cause of a given failure, are you going to be able to understand it?" Just because you know what causes something doesn't mean you can prevent it in the future. Like this QSFP failure, how would I prevent that in the future? So yeah, you have to decide what the best use of your time is. So my thing is, it's fixed; I'm moving on. God bless and Merry Christmas!
This one is from Extreme Networks and no, not cheap at all. To my surprise it is covered under our yearly hardware maintenance contract. They are just that expensive! God bless!

If you're ever driving down the I-5 corridor in the Central Valley let me know. Happy to share a cup. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife I hope 🙏🏾 all is well for you and you family in Cali right now with these fires. Take care, and stay safe.

Good to hear that you have it figured out.
Yes! Thank you! God bless!

God is in charge. Not me. To God goes the glory. Absolutely love that. Have a safe and healthy holiday and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
which god?
Thanks for that. What else could I possibly say? God bless!
The living God.

That's why this country needs New Yawkahs. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife Well, I probably wouldn't go 'That' far, although we can come in handy when dealing with - you know.

I appreciate your honesty of the Lord. No problem for me.
Problem solved, it seems. Good job!
So it seems. I'll check again on Monday as usual and if there are no further issues, then weird as the fix was, it is indeed fixed.
40g optics are basically 4 10g links on the same fiber using wdm (it uses four different wavelengths of light)
Now that's something I didn't know. Thanks for that. God bless!
@ u too, merry Christmas
You're great!
I appreciate the sentiment. God bless!
dont always need root cause :) you are a network admin

@@NetworkAdminLife need to make your own QSFP out of sticks and dirt then you will be a real network admin 😂😂😂
The guy is it a Cisco QSFP(40 gigs)? Not cheap at all!
