vlan 2

I will be on-call for the next two weeks again. So now I have my CNY off as well. Going to die this month, but after that I'll be off the hook till April!

I feel super drained with all the work. Not only I have to be on 24/7 stand-by (either Primary or Secondary) I have to back up 2 colleagues that are away travelling. Usually my load isn't this heavy. Sometimes when the network is steady I really have no work. (…but I still don’t understand why agreed to swap with my colleagues again. 6 weeks of stand-by man!)

This month is really different. I have to juggle between my workload that is adding up due many problems popping up. Got to work with a big boss who is like "I want this, can I have it after lunch?". Very demanding! I'll be assisting with 6 switches replacement tomorrow and will be commissioning 2 new switches on my own!! Honestly, I'm freaking out already after what happen today!

One of my switches in Singapore died. ...everything was fine when a new one is fixed, but not until I finalized some configurations today. Me@first timer kick myself out of the network!!! I freaked out because I thought there would be an outage! I can't ping the switch, can't telnet, but my switch was still up up on my core switch when I did a sh run.

Later I realised that I managed vlan 2.... but the interface to the core was still n vlan 1. *sign* Got to ask the Singapore folks to console in to fix my error. Sure kena scolding.

Tomorrow dunno how laaaa... I don't know if I can config the switches!! If this simple setup also cannot.... aiyorr the one on the 21st don't know how la. Die laaaa.

Don't know how to balance my work la! On-call, Sg and Jpn support, voice support and all the darn administration work on the bridge and ACS server. Need to knowledge transfer some more.... ohh and waste a looootttttt of time planning for my big big big boss's agenda. He'll be in next week! AHHHHH!

Ok... realese enough already... if you have no clue what I was talking about... nvm la I have no idea either.

Ps, for Appitians out there, pay attention in your networking class. IP subnetting, switching routing and your DMZ...not forgetting redundance. All I can say is that pay attention. (especially if you are in mohan's class, you are learning the real stuff...just add a little more stress to it :P)
