Tonight was round 1 of setting up the new virtualization lab and it was entirely dedicated to the network infrastructure. I had completely forgotten how much of a pain in the ass it is to configure even a simple layer 3 network from scratch...especially when you haven't touched the stuff directly in 3 years.
Needless to say, I was able to power through with minimal cursing and no thrown or kicked components. What ended up being the most challenging aspect of the entire process was digging through my boxes of old computer junk that I refuse to throw away to find my null modem cable. I'm glad I was able to find it because I truly question the ability to walk into a retail store and buy one now-a-days. |
