Two Cisco SUP720-3BXL

I let you guess what is the difference between these two Cisco SUP720-3BXL supervision cards ?

The one on the left is a regular functionning one, whereas the one on the right is a regular ... no more functionning one.

How to spend a Friday night making sure your backbone network is 100% operational and redundant and everything, instead of having a beer (or whatever you like).

New servers just arrived

The new servers

Early in the afternoon today, a "couple" of new servers have been delivered to the office, mainly for a dedicated application platform. They follow four routers like the ones on the picture. It’s gonna be "fun" when we will move these boxes to the hosting datacenters ... including one in the very middle of Paris (the office is just ... an office, no technical resources).

The new routers (not brand new)

In the meantime, it’s gonna take some time to get them operational and a great opportunity in the case of the routers to learn and improve my knowledge of Internet routing (BGP and so).

Enjoy !
