No WFH policy here yet, but I've unpacked a couple of our ASAs from before our most recent edge refresh to run AnyConnect for some of our remote sites. I'm not expecting too much load being that we're not a particularly large company, but it's better to have an extra couple RU filled up and happily whirring away than to get a phone call at 5am when everyone in Eastern Time logs in and the throughput drops like the Dow Jones. I'm more worried about the lead times on new hardware skyrocketing than the impact of having 8-10x the teleworkers. At least we can still fulfill orders for software licenses... -- Troy
RE: FCC proposes $10 Million fine for spoofed robocalls
On top of that, there's also the issue of many telcos deciding that, no, you can't just shove whatever you want on the wire, it needs to be a DID and name registered on your trunk... unless you pay us an extra fee per month and say you'll be good, then you can spoof to your heart's content. As far as actual enforcement of all this goes, this morning spam and robocall blocking legislation came into force in Canada. Coincidentally, this morning so far I've received six robocalls from the same "your social insurance number has been hacked and you are breaking the law by not paying us to fix it" scam, two of which were before the sun came up. Prior to today I usually got one a day on average. At least one of the big three carriers has said they're going to be rolling out network-side call blocking "in the coming weeks" but I'm expecting my cell to continue to be a source of annoyance for the foreseeable future. -- Troy Martin | tmar...@charter.ca > -Original Message- > From: NANOG On Behalf Of Keith Medcalf > Sent: December 19, 2019 9:43 AM > To: Brandon Martin ; nanog@nanog.org > Subject: RE: FCC proposes $10 Million fine for spoofed robocalls > > > "CallerID" is a misnomer.

Re: WiFi Technical Book Recommendations
A series of 4 books from CWNP.com offers a vendor neutral perspective on of the Wi-Fi protocol and best practices. CWNA - “Wi-Fi 101” CWSP - Wi-Fi security deep dive CWDP - Wi-Fi design best practices CWAP - Wi-Fi protocol analysis deep dive or “the one ring to rule them all” Hope this helps!

Re: Wi-Fi Analyzer
For OSX specific requirement, I suggest looking at “Wi-Fi Explorer Pro”. It scans for SSIDs, integrates with Metageek Wi-Spy for SpecA, connects to remote sensors. Eval for 10 days before needing pay. The developer (Adrian Granados) also makes a tool called “Wi-Fi signal” (menu bar display/status). There is another tool as well “Airtool” which makes packet captures ridiculously easy on OSX. For mapping Ekahau or Netapot which are OSX based. Alternatively - iBwave, Ekahau, Airmagnet and Tamosoft on windows.

Re: enterprise 802.11
Why not avoid controllers entirely? I recommend Aerohive. In their solution, there is NO controller, rather the APs communicate with each other. (Imagine what OSPF would be like with a centralized router) Check them out www.aerohive.com Kindest regards, Troy Sent from my iPhone. Apologies for spelling and grammatical errors.
