Here at EIS towers things have moved a little bit.  I realise that I’ve not updated for a while so I thought I’d throw this out there to keep things ticking over!

We have been given the go-ahead to implement a new Cisco based network here at work and the kit has been ordered.  Next phase will be configuration and implementation, and this may take a while as there are debates over how we should implement things.

It’s still exciting though, in terms of the opportunity to implement what is a greenfield network, and also for the unit to have a network which works how it should and meets our business needs (which we don’t really have now, if we’re honest).

There is also some slight forward motion in the service which we have been touting for schools too.  A school is desperate to move ahead with things but we haven’t yet got contractual stuff sorted out.  Ho hum, hopefully we’ll get there.

In other news, I passed my CCNA Security test this weekend.  I think I’m going to concentrate on the BGP aspect of obtaining the CCIP next, then the MPLS.
