@dbeato I will unlock it for you.

It's one thing to adapt to a new manager, but how do you handle adapting to a new team? What can you do to make it a smooth transition whether you are at the same company or a different one? Get the full episode here.

@thecreativeone91 We ran a set of commands to ensure that the router would respond to pings:

configure
set firewall all-ping enable
commit
save

Is there additional steps needed?

From what I read that only enables the OS to respond it doesn't open of the firewall ACL.

http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/bug-in-firewall-all-ping-option/td-p/735073

From what I read the code is something like this

set 'firewall' 'name' 'WAN_LOCAL' 'rule' '5' 'action' 'accept'
set 'firewall' 'name' 'WAN_LOCAL' 'rule' '5' 'description' 'ICMP 50/m'
set 'firewall' 'name' 'WAN_LOCAL' 'rule' '5' 'limit' 'burst' '1'
set 'firewall' 'name' 'WAN_LOCAL' 'rule' '5' 'limit' 'rate' '50/minute'
set 'firewall' 'name' 'WAN_LOCAL' 'rule' '5' 'log' 'enable'
set 'firewall' 'name' 'WAN_LOCAL' 'rule' '5' 'protocol' 'icmp'

Okay, I see. You're right. Adding a rule to that set in the UI and we are now seeing pings to the Edge Router. However, we are still having issues getting inbound calls to our PBX (They time out) and cannot register a softphone internally onto a hosted system (backup plan)

Any other ideas for that part, then?

Does the SIP trunk show registered when you look at the PBX despite the behavior you mention here?

Yes it does. I have also ensured that ports are open and forwarded to the PBX.

If this is Asterisk (which I am guessing it may be), what happens in the CLI for inbound calls?

@JaredBusch @dbeato @Texkonc we will get rid of the troll problem that made me look like a dummy last time.

How do you scale for a new endeavor? You won't just need to scale what you know, there's an emotional aspect at play here as well. How can you level up your mindset and set yourself up for success? We'll discuss all of that this week. Get the full episode here.

You could do the free trial of OnSIP: http://www.onsip.com/pricing. I know it is really hosted VOIP, but it should at least allow testing of SIP and RTP traffic passing through the router. It takes the PBX out of the equation completely though.

Start Time: 11 AM Central
Format: Zoom

It's that time again! This will be another virtual SpiceCorps meeting using Zoom, and we're going to work it in over lunch (bring your own food, of course). Please use this link to register so the Zoom details will be e-mailed to you. The registration is only to prevent trolls (nothing more).

As the number of devices used to connect to corporate networks continues to grow, planning to ensure devices can perform optimally when running applications is a challenge. As administrators, troubleshooting the network performance of devices can be even more challenging, often requiring us to use many different tools. Join us for a lunch and learn session with Nyansa (now part of VMware) as we share a technical deep dive and demo of their Voyance Platform with plenty of time for interactive questions and answers. You’ll learn how this platform can enhance the user experience of any device on the corporate network, how to leverage performance benchmarking and proactive recommendations for remediation, and how to gain additional insight into the behavior of IoT devices on your network.

Bring your questions, and we look forward to seeing you there! I'll plan to open the bridge a few minutes before 11 AM.

In my last post, we explored Building Custom Search Engines for VMware content in Google Chrome. If we can be VMware documentation search ninjas in Chrome, I thought it would be fun to explore the same idea using Firefox. Maybe the process will be similar. We’re about to learn the answer.

I think one about dealing with vendors and engaging them inside and outside of social media might be interesting too.

We're kicking off in less than an hour. There's still time to join us if anyone out there is up for it and didn't register previously.

This week is part 1 of our discussion of Tony Reeves. We'll talk through his career journey and how he was able to make some major moves. Get the full episode here.

Good point, just thought it would be something to be made aware of.

Also, calculating calls on 100kb per call means you have at most 10 active calls * 100 kbps = 1 mbps with QoS on your router, there should not be any problems.

Key in on the word "should" there. Sometimes Sonicwalls do not play nice with SIP. It depends on the model as to whether QoS is even available if I remember correctly.

@Dashrender we have a web filtering product but we don't do anything in the email space. Our approach is to catch it at the time it runs rather than while it is being transmitted. Saves a lot of resources that way, since you aren't scanning every email.

That sounds very much like the way VIPRE does it.

This time it is part 2 of the conversation with Tony Reeves. In this episode Tony talks about getting involved in user groups and eventually being a part of the leadership team. Get the full episode here.

That's a very good post that covers information people don't often think about after deploying vCenter. Additionally, it's something helpful when studying for the VCP-DCV. Thanks for sharing!

My question to you is: when the Macs can still print, I'm assuming they are mapped to the printer by IP, whereas your Windows machines are shared through the server? Can you confirm this?

I was going to suggest moving one of the workstations to connect to the printer via ip and not via the server to see what happens. That sounds like you are on par, but we shall see.

This is the much awaited part 2 of our discussion with @Jimmy-T. Listen to how Jimmy became a master of relatable experience after participating and running a gaming community. Get the full scoop here.

But, let's not leave out the fact that you can watch a webinar and get a free Meraki access point for 3 years. The first taste is free until you move to get a second.

Only for a super cheap access point, though. Not their real gear, the stuff that you would want. And a Ubiquiti AP is only $65 that bests that one by a lot. The fourth year of that free access point costs more than a decade with the Ubiquiti.

I agree Ubiquiti is far superior for the money, and I did not actually realize you don't get a true taste when getting the freebie.

This week we tackle customer advocacy programs. What are they, and how can they benefit both a vendor and a customer? Get the scoop here.

@coliver We're using Yealink phones. I'll take a look into it. Thanks!

I'm thinking the hardest part will be setting up the VPN on the PBX side.
