@mary said in Software-Defined Networking - CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Prof Messer:

Is there specific software that is used for creating a virtual environment?

SDN refers to a great number of potential solutions. In most cases, it is software built into the hardware. So Cisco, Juniper, Brocade and other networking makers offer software solutions, often that have no particular name. They are just the SDN options of that gear.

Pure software does exist and a common example of it is ZeroTier which is designed as a complete virtual networking layer on top of your physical network and has no interaction with the underlying hardware so it completely agnostic.

@travisdh1 said in HPE Axes Entire OpenSDN Business, Stops Support:

Wow. I can understand dropping product lines if they're not making money, but immediately burning it all without communicating this to customers. HPE, that doesn't look good at all.

I agree, not a good sign for the health of the new company. Burning bridges with customers, presumably big ones, means that they were desperate and had to make the move rather than just doing it strategically.

@JaredBusch - Would be similar to the way ScreenConnect updates.

ScreenConnect only updates when I tell it to.

Correct, I just meant that the update does not require the user to have admin permissions to push that update. Would be nice if Zerotier offered a similar feature.

Only the other night for me and it was all on one project so I'm not sure what it was, yet.

This information is very out of date concerning Pertino itself. But the theory on how this works remains relevant.

IMO, you should put the 'old post' notice at the top of these.

@dafyre said in Timeframe for ZeroTier on iOS:

It was in the big write up with all the price changes... http://mangolassi.it/topic/8928/zerotier-gui-updates-new-features-and-new-pricing-structure

It was just a quiet mention... Not even a bold or italics line. lol.

LOL - it was in the part that MLNews actually posted itself.

@mlnews

Along with our web UI and our subscription service, we have quite a bit more in the pipeline. Our iOS version is now in beta. If you want to try it out via TestFlight drop us an e-mail and we'll send you an invite. Major announcements on the Network Containers and Enterprise fronts are coming soon as well.

@adam.ierymenko said in ZeroTier GUI Updates, New Features and New Pricing Structure:

Yeah that's in our feature queue but after a ton of other stuff.

Nice. Keep up the good work!

I think they pulled IPv6 support awhile back. All my Pertino devices are IPv4. Also, note that I have problems with builds 520+ when installing it on Windows DCs/DNS servers. The DNS records do not dynamically update when Pertino is installed. 510 works OK, though. I have a custom 529 build that support gave me that is basically 510 but enables some more verbose logging so they can find out what is going on.

This is an old article from 2013 being reposted because @scottalanmiller stopped maintaining the original.

@scottalanmiller I was planning on it

InfoWorld reports on OpenDaylight Helium's status.

OpenDaylight is a really important but not well understood project. Interesting stuff, though.

It's going to take virtualization to a whole new level and redefine how we approach traditional networking. Pertino is a trailblazer with this tech. Can't wait to see what else this project has in store.

@Hubtech Why no POE? I think that's probably so if you buy a switch it's easier to sell you APs and Phones latter. I love POE but if you aren't using it the switch will be slightly less power efficient. Probably not to much though since there is no actual load using the power rails for it.

I wish that they were not PoE too. Makes them unnecessarily expensive and draw too much power.

Here is the additional log info:

#systemctl status pgateway.service pgateway.service - SYSV: The Pertino Client provides access to the Pertino Network.

That works for the web interface, we were hoping for the SSH interface.

Not any time in the near future. For smaller environments, it may be an option, but present CPUs and busses don't have the horsepower to handle a heavy workload like ASICs currently can. 10 years from now, perhaps.

Whatever happened to doing these discussion rooms?

@scottalanmiller yeah those are all windows.except my MacBookPro. I've debating putting it on my PBX in a Flash box so i can manage it without first jumping on a server or VPN.

If you do, use PIAF on RHEL 6. RHEL 5 isn't playing nice with Pertino yet.

It is 6.4, thanks for the warning.
