Removing orphaned IPs from NSX using REST API

19/08/2017 by Myles Gray Leave a Comment

I had a power outage recently that took out my entire lab in a very ungraceful manner – everything, well mostly everything, came back up without a hitch – but NSX was acting a bit weird, so I decided to redeploy the NSX Controllers. I removed all 3 controllers and tried redeploying but ended up […]

Customer, Partner, Vendor.

Over the last 9 months, a lot has happened in my life; I have a nice titanium plate in my shoulder now courtesy of a major car accident. I changed roles at Novosco from Infrastructure Engineer to Cloud Technologist – focusing more on R&D and emerging platforms, and I helped out Frank Denneman and Niels […]

Enabling IPv6 with DHCPv6-PD and PPPoE on a Fortigate

18/06/2017 by Myles Gray 11 Comments

Out of morbid curiosity (and lack of IPv4 public address space available to me), I decided I wanted to enable IPv6 in my lab. However, before taking the plunge there, I would try it out on my residential ADSL line, I use the same brand of firewall there as in my lab so the experience […]

Vote for your top vBlogs and podcasts!

It’s time for the annual Top 100 vBlog voting as hosted every year by Eric Siebert. This year is notable as some of the long-standing champs of the blogging scene have chosen to withdraw (notably Frank Dennemann and Duncan Epping) to allow some new blood to enter the top 10. For good reason, as Duncan […]

Designing a networking platform for IaaS multi-tenancy

23/03/2017 by Myles Gray Leave a Comment

This post is part of the Multi-tenant IaaS Networking course.

Based on my last post, you’ll understand some of the challenges that are faced with traditional approaches to datacenter networking so let’s get into the high-level conceptual design here of how we might solve one of these problems. Most service providers have or are at least familiar with using MPLS for customer segregation in a […]

Multi-tenant network challenges

23/03/2017 by Myles Gray Leave a Comment

This post is part of the Multi-tenant IaaS Networking course.

As of late, I have been getting my feet wet in more networking things – Firstly out of necessity, but it has grown into a genuine area of interest to me. I have a homelab that I like to simulate a production working environment in, so I had a nice opportunity to lab up what […]
