Typesetter and coder slang? Short, easy to say. . dot * star ! bang #! shebang
Why has nobody come up with an abbreviation for :// or http:// (so the uninformed can stop calling them backslashes). And then there’s dub-dub-dub. Oh, and while we’re on random grammar topics, I saw an ad on TV today for Lowe’s paint. “This room is so you, it’s so phisticated.” “Yeah, phisticated.” http://adage.com/article/media/watch-newest-ads-tv-lowe-s-foot-locker-adidas/297092/ From: Caleb Knauer Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2015 4:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Weird network issue Maybe dot is easier to say?

This is my theory, back when we had analog long distance trunks (single side band running on open wire on glass insulators, yes I go back that far), we had to align each channel 4 times a year. Probably took 15 different adjustments per trunk and we had several dozen trunks. We called it carrier line ups. Took a Bell guy on the far end and we would swap tones to each other and both of us would make the same audio and RF adjustments in sync with each other. So all day long, I would say things like “I am sending –16” and he would say I am receiving “plus 7.3” but the words were “seven dot two”. I thought it was odd initially but soon found that the entire telecom world did not say point when doing decimal. And since the original internet connections were entirely telecom folks doing the work, I think they are the ones that started saying dot for IP addresses. That’s my theory and I’m stickin’ to it.

I would have thought of that myself if they didn't make me get up at 3am :) Only a quick suggestion.. on the 2811, setup a /30 or something routable for testing... plugin directly on that port with IP/gateway and DNS - see if issue is still there. Then at least you know if it's in the ASA or not.... -----Original Message----- From: Af [javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]');] On Behalf Of Adam Moffett Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2015 7:06 AM To: javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]'); Subject: [AFMUG] Weird network issue I have a customer who uses us as a backup path to the internet. They have BGP sessions with us and another provider, and we just stack a few prepends on the routes they send us and re-advertise them. When their primary connection is out, they report having partial connectivity. We just had a two hour test window where their primary connection was shut off on purpose so that we could test. The other provider and I spent a ton of time going over BGP and routing stuff and finally concluded, "gee, it should be working." After we gave up looking for a routing problem that isn't there, we did some more basic testing and really the only thing I can conclude definitely doesn't work when they fail over to us is DNS. Using nslookup they get no response from any DNS servers. They have a Cisco 2811 running BGP, but that connects to an ASA, and everything on their LAN is behind the ASA. I asked for copies of the configs on the 2811 and the ASA, but I'm not even sure what I'm looking for yet. Any brilliant ideas? -- -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
